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

@Franklydear aw im glad ur having a nice day. My ds actually has dyspraxia and various social interaction problems etc. He has no empathy so he couldn't give a shit that it's mother's day 🤦‍♀️🤣 so I have no idea why I'm moaning lol I'm.blaming hormones 🤣🤣 xx

Haiyaa · 14/03/2021 16:00

Those shoes are absolutely adorable @Franklydear, I’ve tried knitting several times and only ever managed a pathetic half finished scarf! I’m just too uncoordinated!

@paintfairy, WandaVision is about the Scarlett Witch, do you like marvel/avengers? If so this is a great series to watch on Disney+ And cake over clean houses any day!

Sorry that Mother’s Day is such a tough time for you @Catherinettc, I can’t imagine how difficult it must have been to lose your mum on a day dedicated to mothers.

@Crazydoglady123 hope the headache clears off soon. How lovely of your OH mum, sure makes things easier when you have a good relationship with the in laws!

Awwwww @DJmum83 glad everything went well, you must be so relieved and excited to be telling your family ❤️

bez91 · 14/03/2021 16:04

Sorry @paintfairy missed the BFN ☹️ sending love 💕 I also have no idea what Wanda is!

@Vil10 DD back so missed the opportunity now, waiting patiently until later 🙈

@Catherinettc ahh, I find Mother's Day very bittersweet, my mum died when I was a kid so have had enough years of heartache yearning to have what my friends have/had but I find it less rough these days that I have DD to make me smile and I feel very fortunate for that. I hope your DD is feeling better soon and comes round and you too and that your bloody flowers turn up! 💐

@DJmum83 that's great and what a lovely treat for Mother's Day! Crappy on the sickness front, hope the antiemetics sort it out and you're not feeling like this for much longer

Vil10 · 14/03/2021 16:05

@Minster2012 @Justanothercyster Thankyou girls!! It's tomorrow but I'm just trying to celebrate early as both my OH is at work tomorrow and my mum is busy!

@Catherinettc so sorry to hear how hard today is for you!! And your poor DD, heartbreak at that age is awful, you feel like your whole world has been turned upside down!

@DJmum83 so glad it went well!!

Catherinettc · 14/03/2021 16:06

@Haiyaa it seems to be a family trait lol they all pick big days 🤷‍♀️ grandad was Halloween, granny was Xmas day etc its crazy. I panic on every big occasion 🤦‍♀️ but like they say 'it is what it is' and I have to just sucknitbup and keep going. Nothing else for it really xx

Katao · 14/03/2021 16:12

@Catherinettc I'm so sorry, that must be so hard. You too @bez91. Hugs yo you both.

@DJmum83 glad all went well. Hope your GP sorts you out and you are feeling better soon.

Catherinettc · 14/03/2021 16:16

@bez91 it's horrible isn't it. I get what u mean about dd. I was actually pregnant with my youngest dd when mum passed so she's named after her and I say it feels like I got to keep a little bit of her after she was gone. She has her eyes ❤ big hugs today and hope u get spoiled xxxx

Juno231 · 14/03/2021 16:26

@Catherinettc wow your family's death record on holidays is rather disconcerting 🙊. I'm sorry today is crap for you - big hugs from me xx

@paintfairy I'm sorry about the bfn - here's to our Christmas babies!

@Asthenia gosh so many of us here seem to have had house moves recently! From what to what did you move to?

@HappyMrsR congratulations on the bfp! What a mother's day treat! Have you told OH? How did he take it?

@Minster2012 @lucyrp @katao totally get all of your sides, it's definitely a sensitive/difficult day today.

Sorry I've been quiet this week. First I was moping due to knowing AF would show and now I'm CD2 and wallowing in AF misery lol. Absolutely knackered today after our asshole neighbours kept me awake but also because I keep waking up stressing about work 🙄.

Catherinettc · 14/03/2021 16:30

@Juno231 aw thats not even the half of it. I was told by a neuropsychologist that if I wrote a book about everything that has happened in my life she would buy it 🤦‍♀️🤣🤣

Sometimes I wonder how I'm still standing 🤣🤣

Minster2012 · 14/03/2021 16:30

@Catherinettc we will say HAPPY MOTHERS DAY to you in absence of the cancelled flowers and for being such a good mum for consoling DD, unfortunately that's what we get 🤣😂🙌🏻💝but big hugs for you lovely. Ha then I just read your other comment about him not giving a shit & it made me actually laugh out loud, you know in a way where I'd be chinking a mug (my would be wine though) with you of oh well kind of a way 🤣😂but it must be really hard for losing your mum today so you make sure you take time to think of yourself 😘but oh my god I'd be shit scared on every occasion 😬

@DJmum83 glad it went well and all looking good 🙌🏻👌🏻rubbish on the no food though 😩

@Asthenia how was the move? You feeling good bout it? Celebrate with a pizza or something?! Or wild party in?!

@Vil10 where are these brownies then have I missed it??

Minster2012 · 14/03/2021 16:30

@bez91 wgadddddd I miss????

Catherinettc · 14/03/2021 16:35

@Minster2012 yip I will cheers u but mine will need to be tea for the next few weeks 😭😭 tbh I'm not really missing the drink right now but I think because the world is effectively cancelled right now that's helping lol so no pubs open etc for the jealousy to take over. Hubby does have a beer machine though and when he pours a pint the condensation trickles down the glass.....that gets to me a wee bit 🤣🤣 xx

Franklydear · 14/03/2021 16:48

Just got a video call from someone at work, who would have no business calling me anyway, don't know what he wanted, didn't pick up

Minster2012 · 14/03/2021 17:16

@Franklydear that's just weird!

@Catherinettc 🍻

To lighten the mood we did one of these at Xmas after it came up on one of my Facebook groups (it might have come up on a few ppl's!)

Here you go, Sunday funday

Catherinettc · 14/03/2021 17:20

@Minster2012 omg I'm crap at these!! If I'm not back in a few hours send help 🤦‍♀️🤣🤣 xx

Franklydear · 14/03/2021 17:23

@Minster2012 he is notorious for calling people inappropriately about stupid shit, nothing that cannot wait till tomorrow, surely, probably nothing to do with me

paintfairy · 14/03/2021 17:44

@Crazydoglady123 I think I've definitely had more than normal so I do think it's the drugs. But sometimes i get them from stress or my back/neck.
Events? What kind of events? I have absolutely zero planned in still this year. Bar a horse camp. Priorities and all that! 🤣 But yes, no one wants those types of conversations.
@Catherinettc oh no, that must be really hard. I'm sorry. As for DD I can only imagine! Young break ups are always worse I think. Its great she can talk to you though.
@DJmum83 I'm glad the scan went well! How exciting to tell the family! The sickness sounds rubbish though.
@Asthenia I didn't really expect otherwise. But there's always that slight hope. I think with time it's getting harder i guess. I hope you manage to get everything sorted after the move.
@Haiyaa oh I don't have Disney+ 😣 Rubbish!
@Juno231 Christmas babies. 🤣 Bloody better not do! I'm just hoping AF isn't delayed too much this week so I can get on with the next step. Which I'm dreading. I'll be pleased when that's out of the way.
@Vil10 makes perfect sense. Mondays aren't really good days for a birthday. Who even let that happen? 🤣
@Minster2012 I'm guilty too. In my (possibly poor) defence, it wasn't a name I even recognised. I wouldn't react to a friend the same way as a stranger. I dunno. Bad day. 🤷‍♀️
@Franklydear maybe an accidental call? They're the only ones i ever tend to get. 🤣🤣

Franklydear · 14/03/2021 17:51

@paintfairy he has called me and other people on our day off before, just to see if we would go in and deal with a problem, sure mate, let me drop what I am doing 🤔

Gem176 · 14/03/2021 17:58

@Vil10 I don't even like creme eggs but I'd definitely have a go at that brownie 🤤

@Ltay2 glad you are getting home for the night 😊 sleeping, or more accurately trying to sleep, in hospital is no fun! Best place for us at times but nothing beats getting home to your own bed!

@bez91 the rain is karma... he should have just jumped at the offer of getting it on!

@Franklydear they are absolutely adorable!

@paintfairy sorry about the bfn and if it's cake or cleaning I'd always pick cake even although I'm rubbish at baking!

@Catherinettc what a hard day for you this must be 💐 bless you for staying up with dd, top mum and I hope dd is feeling a bit better today.

@DJmum83 delighted your scan went well 😁 definitely go for the anti emetics, made the world of difference to my SiL after a good month of misery with sickness.

Between a power cut (cheers shitty weather), a mental week actually in the office this week, general bloody tiredness, hormones sending my emotions haywire with the added fun of not actually managing one night of unbroken sleep this week has made me an absent passenger. Sorry ladies.

I saw this and liked it, though it was quite appropriate here too. Happy Mother's Day to you all 💗 xxx

@Minster2012 I'll attach them again x

@paintfairy it's a joke isn't it😂 rubbish day!!

@Gem176 to be honest they wouldn't be my first choice but not to blow my own trumpet, they were amazing!!

Gem176 · 14/03/2021 18:16

@Vil10 if the choice is creme egg or no chocolate I'm obviously going to pick creme egg 😂 what recipe did you use? I'm thinking galaxy caramel eggs could work very well 😍

Kirky658 · 14/03/2021 18:21

@franklydear those little booties omg 😍
@djmum83 happy happy happy for you on your scan, amazing xx

Crazydoglady123 · 14/03/2021 18:44

Thank you @Katao

@paintfairy events as in birthday parties, bbq's, meals out etc. There seems to be so many being planned end of April/May plus OH 30th and from what I can "roughly" plan, if we go off my next cycle for the IVF on short protocol, which if based on this one being 30 days (although mine could be 4 days either side of that) would be 10th April means a few of the things planned are going to be around all the treatment. Even tonight one friend has messaged me trying to plan stuff right around when egg transfer would be and she's given me four date options and I'm like what the heck do I use as an excuse 🤷🏽‍♀️ I'm feeling so anxious over this 😭

paintfairy · 14/03/2021 18:49

@Crazydoglady123 I honestly can't see any events happening in April and May. I refuse to plan anything with no definitive end to lockdown. Seems silly? No way will it go to schedule. But with them saying our IUI could potentially start next cycle, I'm a bit the same! Like- I don't really know what's happening, but clearly it'll have to take priority!
@Franklydear God, you work with such knobs! 🤣 Definitely ignore them!
@Gem176 I think anything would win over cleaning here. Literally beginning to think I just need my mum to move in! Like- how did she ever used to keep on top of it all?! 😫 DH did wipe the front door down today. I'm sat here thinking I'm sure I need to hoover......

Juno231 · 14/03/2021 18:55

@Crazydoglady123 crap, I don't even know what to suggest for you to dodge FOUR date options.

@ltay2 enjoy your takeaway tonight and I hope you sleep like a rock!

@DJmum83 yay for the scan going well! I'm surprised they haven't given you anti emetics already - I hope they will really help

@Minster2012 found it! Love these pics
