Bus 35- where womb spring cleaning is not allowed & TTC recycling is aired on the street

[Minster2012]

No mean girls reports to MN last time ladies 😆🙌🏻I don’t know whether that’s a result or not, but seeing as it was the Spring Zen bus I think that was good 🦋🌸🌷🌻

So it’s back to the usual routine & realising men know NOTHING about ovulation, but then again, do our bodies?? Except for the science teachers that is 😉

We are still working on our spring challenges alongside trying to get pregnant and we’ve had great results so far.

Our bus is helping each other get fitter, more positive through sharing small changes we are making in our lives and trying to inspire & support each other with these too...as well as of course being there for each other during the sad times.

Have a look at the small changes beside the names and see if you want to try them yourself or add in your own!

Last month we had some fab BFPs including an OG 🥰♥️🙌🏻💪🏻so bring on March for more of the same please as well as investigations IVF fun for some others...
Spring is coming, and so are we 😘🦄🍀🌸🌷🌻🌼

And if you see mention of my blog then blame these guys they made me do it...#shamelessplug

@2020mission i has it in the morning, and work that day was in the late evening I didn't feel right, the clots are unrelated after all, nothing to worry about

@paintfairy ahhh really? I've been Googling as you do and nothing is said much about early ovulation. It really varies, the last few have been CD 10,11,12 the ones where I got BFPs although ended in MC were when I ovulated later at CD15 and CD20. What are yours like are they all over the place too? Really pissed at getting flashing smileys from CD7 😂

@bez91 I tend to ovulate day 11 or 12. But odd times I'll get a 10 or 13. I think I managed a 14 once and I remember thinking I spotted less. I've tried everything going to see if I can change it. Every supplement. Soya isoflavones, you name it. Nothing changes it. Very frustrating.

@Minster2012 I found your new colouring book

@Franklydear I just burst out laughing at your colouring book for @Minster2012 😂😂🤣🤣

@Franklydear excellent colouring book 🤣 do you love it @Minster2012?

@lucyrp awww wow really?! Exciting!! 💕 Can't believe you are going to be 20 wks! Are you still set on not finding out the gender?

I am so so relieved 🥰 so far so good!! Going off their measurements 9+3 so a little behind my dates.

@Dollybird89 you have done so well. Let yourself have one day off then tomorow just put today in the bin 💕 don't let one day off ruin your amazing good streak! Xx

@2020mission I'm CD10 today. Also just DTD. Think I'll ovulate about CD14. How is OH doing? My dad had his jab today!! Feels surreal for my parents to finally be getting it I think I'll cry when my OH gets to have his!!

@Franklydear that colouring book is AMAZING!

I've now got two weeks off work. SO needed.
I've got my recurrent MC clinic on the 25th which I'm pleased about!

@HollieL567 yeah I'm so excited for my next scan. Seems ages away yet though! I definitely get scanxiety too! I know can't believe I'm half way nearly. Such a weird journey of going slow and going fast. I can never decide which 😂 yeah still a surprise I think! After my 20 week I'm going to get my bags of clothes out from DS and see what I have in gender neutral etc.

Also lovely little bean in there! Isn't it surprising how they look like such a little baby already! Even at 8 weeks mine looked so baby like 🥺💞

@DKDK123 thanks lovely, think I might make some notes before the appointment on my cycles and the like so I've got that information to hand

@Ltay2 sorry to hear about the pre-eclampsia, hope you and your baby are doing OK, sounds like the hospital are taking good care of you

@HollieL567 glad your scan went well!!

Big hugs @Dollybird89 it's horrible when no one can give you any answers. A potato day sounds like a good idea ❤️ you're doing so well with everything

@blackcurrantqueen glad you've got some time off now - you need some TLC! Hurray for appointments coming through!

I'm back on WW, in part because there's waaaay more jiggle to my wiggle than I want and in part because I reckon that'll be one of the first things the doctor will start in on (current BMI is like 28). Apparently to be a "healthy" weight for my height I should be like a max of 11st4 but that's not happening in this lifetime. I'm aiming for 12st though, which feels more doable. Nearly done a full week on plan now, forgot how relatively easy it was to follow

@InkyPaper for my height I should be around 11 stone 2 maximum but I was sat at about 11 and a half. I now weigh less than I have for ages at 10 11 ish but only because of being sick 😂

@lucyrp oh bless ya! I once got down to 11st13 but that was when IBS first struck and I spent so much time in the loo there was almost no point in eating 😂🙈 the annoying thing was how many people were telling me I looked amazing and I've never felt so horrible. So if I could get down to that again without the months-long IBS flare then that would be great!

@InkyPaper I was at my lowest after having consecutive gallstone attacks and got slimmer of the week from slimming world 😂🤣

@Franklydear love it!!

Been doing spring cleaning of utility room, trying to get DH to CHUCK stuff out. Terrible. Old screws?? We might need them?! Yet he says we are bursting out of the seams. Speak for yourself my friend. 🤣😂

Absolutely shattered after first week back, off to read a chapter and then 😴😴😴😴

@Minster2012 mines like that too haha. Year dear, we really WILL need that random piece of cord sometime in the future...

@2020mission I had the Pfizer vaccine and had a headache & some general aches over the first 24hrs, and I had a lymphatic reaction both times on mine. So painful armpit and a bit of swelling for 10-14days after.

@hollieL567 ahhh I'm so relieved for you. Great news about baby!!! 💕💕💕

Soooo this week I've been told by 2 close friends (who are also my work colleagues) that they're expecting. One is the friend who had a MC just after me and she told me Tuesday that she's 6 weeks (she's not told anyone else except the manager) and the other one just had her 12 week scan and told me this evening. Both have been super considerate & sensative in the way they told me after my loss... And I think I'm passed the initial wave of emotion & am happy for them. But God I'm envious. And I'm desperate to be pregnant and have a healthy pregnancy. I'm currently watching 2 other friends with similar due dates to me, with their growing baby bellies and basically watching what could have been... I don't think I can cope with that happening again or even watching their belly grow while I'm trying but not getting pregnant. These 2 girls are really great friends to me and I've got past my initial want to ball my eyes out quite quickly (after a little cry after the 2nd announcement) but that feeling in your gut... You know it.... The envy, the yearning, the longing for what they have. Its strong tonight.

All these emotions, the good & bad, are hard to have sitting side my side. So I'm currently sat in the bath, writing this, having another little cry, hoping that good news comes in 3's and praying (begging) that I'll be next and I'll be the lucky 3rd 🙏🏻🤞🏻😟

Sorry for my melodrama 😟 just feeling so flat.

@HollieL567 so pleased the scan went well 😘🤗🌈

@2020mission yes it's awful isn't it. Total mixture of emotions. Absolutely get you. Giving you a big squeeze right now

Oh @Sausage1990, that’s shit for you. Sometimes it seems like everyone is just getting pregnant except you! Enjoy the bath.

@Ltay2 my SIL is in with pre eclampsia, been trying to be induced since Monday and now off to have a section as I sit here typing this! I imagine they will keep you in? They did with her as she was 36+1.

Big day today, peak LH plus acupuncture sesh. Lots of questions and said that there is an insufficiency when reading my pulse which has me terrified! She didn’t seem concerned especially as I was feeling tired due to a disturbed night with my DD (plus so much 🍆 but didn’t say that 😂), but as a natural worrier I was immediately in panic mode so couldn’t really relax. I also have a mark on my head from where she put the stress needle... 😂

What has everyone got planned for the weekend? I already know I have some flowers as DD told me as soon as I came in... 😂 “mummy there are some special flowers for you in daddy’s car!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 💐

@Minster2012 my DH is just the same!! Says we have too much stuff but won't part from anything 😂

Big hugs @Sausage1990 ❤️ some days it's all just really hard and the envy can be so hard to push through. I really hope that you get your rainbow baby soon ❤️

@haiyaa it definitely does feel that way at times even if it's not the case.

@inkypaper thanks lovely. I wish so much for all of us to get our babies 💕🌈 I think that's tricky is that these 2 friends are the ones I've talked to most baby stuff and I've been most open about the ups & downs of it all, so the fact that it's those 2 people that are now expecting... Its just feels a bit lonely here irl. It'll be ok. I'm sure I'll feel better tomorrow 💕

@paintfairy do you find your cycles are on the shorter side? Even though I ov early my cycle is still like 30+ days so it's like a three week wait each month 🤦🏼‍♀️

@blackcurrantqueen enjoy your time off, for many plans or just a chilled one? Good news on progress with the clinic

@Sausage1990 it can be so hard to put on a brave face in front of others I know. You will get there 💕

@Haiyaa so discreet aren't they kids 😂.

Thank you ladies your the best bunch ever! @minster2012 I spent last few hours colouring and it's amazing how you can get lost in it and forget everything . I had to go fetch OH from work today and was nice to get out the house. I told OH that I broke down to Drs. He's ever so supportive I don't know how I managed to land such a guy. We never argue or anything.
@2020mission I was on the mini pill for about 3/4 months at the end of 2019 but stopped in Feb. Had normal cycles then had m/c in may 2020 . Had few cycles after then 3month gap..5week period then nothing.. so just waiting now till 28th may for clinic appointment .
The pic totally sums me up today.

Hi girls. Just wanted to let you know that I'm feeling alot better. I had a chat with my SIL who struggled to concieve with her ex husband so understands these struggles. It felt good to talk irl too.. Thank you for you support girls 💐💕

Glad you're feeling better @Sausage1990 ❤️

@bez91 are you sure you're getting ovulation right? I think the LP can't go past 17 days so that wouldn't add up with CD10/11 ovulation?

@Sausage1990 ah we get it and you're 100% entitled to be feeling melodramatic ❤️ you'll get there so soon and we'll all be here rooting for you 😘
