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

@Catherinettc so sorry for everything you have to go through each Mother's Day 💔 it can be such a tough day for some. Big hugs xx

@DJmum83 awww yay! Beautiful scan pic 💕 I'm paranoid again today because of cramps and back pain, trying to keep myself sane!

@paintfairy Sorry about the bfn :( hugs x

@Vil10 ahhh we were early again haha! Well enjoy the rest of your night x

@Franklydear that's bizarre!

@Juno231 I know right 😩

@paintfairy I could honestly do with lockdown for a couple more months 😬 What with OH 30th a couple of days potentially after embryo transfer I don't know what the heck to plan 😭

@Vil10 woo we have the same birthday 🎉 🥂 my mums is the 15th too so I have no idea what it's like to not share a birthday 😆 hope you have a great day tomorrow

Hi ladies, I'm not even going to try and catch up. Hope you're all Ok!

I've had a hell of a week, it seems I had a very rare type of migraine that looks like a stroke - I was blue lighted to hospital and treated for a stroke and couldn't use my right hand or talk for most of weds, and then took another 24 hours to be able to read and write again!

Still feel pretty ropey but I'm thankful it wasn't actually a stroke - waiting on some follow up appts to confirm the diagnosis!

Weirdly it's made me DESPERATE for baby no 2, and I felt myself ovulating on Friday morning but obviously not very much 🍆🍆🍆 this FW - DH is keen that we work out what happened to me before cracking on again, I'm not so sure about that!

Obviously I missed my AMH and progesterone test so will reschedule them for next month.

Oh no @larrythelizard hope you're ok now! I have bad migraines luckily no more than twice a year but with them my vision goes, I end up vomiting, get pins and needles down one arm and a numb tongue/lips - it's awful! That's why I've never went near contraceptives due to the stroke risk. Take it easy 💕

Oh my gosh @larrythelizard that sounds awful! Hope you're feeling back to normal now! That must have been so scary 😬

@larrythelizard concentrate on getting well first

Thanks all, yes, the scariest moment of my life by a long way - DH too, I still can't think about it all too much without getting really upset.

Despite what my crazy brain wants I will be getting to the bottom of this before TTC again...humph...

@larrythelizard so sorry to hear this but glad you're being well looked after! Your health comes before anything else 😘

@Crazydoglady123 🤣 More lockdown please!
@larrythelizard oh no. That sounds awful. I get Migraines with vision loss and that's scary enough. Always worry I'll go blind. But that sounds awful?! I hope they manage to get to the bottom of it. You don't want that happening often. I'm glad you are OK though. We did miss you! Take things easy.

No I don't ever want it happening again @paintfairy! Annoyingly I didn't do anything different on Wednesday morning so I don't know what the trigger was. I did try a new perfume at some point this week but I can't remember when...I wish I could remember!

Oh @larrythelizard that sounds absolutely awful! Glad you are on the mend and hope they can get to the bottom of it soon 💖💖💖 sending lots of get well soon wishes your way.

Hi All,

I've just got a bus pass on my journey to TTC, can I hop in this bus?

I've already joined TTC 35+ as 35 this summer but wondered if you had space for a little one?

New to all this, I have 2 daughters from a previous relationship who were both lovely surprises so i feel like I'm clueless! Just hopefully heading into cycle #1 after coil removal so hoping I settle straight into a good cycle 🤞🏼

@larrythelizard that's awful you poor thing. What an ordeal! Hope you are feeling better soon and don't worry about this cycle, mind yourself 😘

@Lexber welcome. Hopefully with 2 surprise babies already a planned one happens quickly for you! What ages are your daughters?

That sounds awful @larrythelizard hope you get some kind of answers and hope you start to feel better soon 💕💐 x

@Katao 14 and 10, so it's been a while and I honestly can't remember what it was like!
I e never TTC before, so the whole idea scares the crap out of me! Haha

@paintfairy I must be the only person asking for more lockdown 😂🙈

@DJmum83 so glad all went well with your scan.

@Catherinettc oh gosh so sorry it is such a tough day for you and everything you have had going on.

@Juno231 sorry to hear about af turning up she is literally such a bitch

@Franklydear those booties are adorable.

@larrythelizard oh my goodness how awful! I hope you make a speedy recovery and are feeling better soon. I suffer with migraines but that sounds like a whole different level of migraine.

@Juno231 yeah loads of people seem to have moved! Our move isn’t exciting at all, we’ve left a rented flat just the two of us to move in with boyfriends parents...which I may live to regret but it’s the only way we’ll be able to save to eventually buy a place of our own. Very lucky to have that opportunity so just need to suck it up! I hope AF is over quickly for you.

@Minster2012 move was OK thanks just long and stressful, still lots to sort but we’re a bit more settled now. Boyfriend cooked for me and his parents which was nice and meant I could unpack a couple more bags.

@paintfairy it’s always the hope that gets you. I tell myself every month I’m not getting my hopes up and I won’t be pregnant so why bother but it always, always gets me and I get hopeful and excited.

@Vil10 those brownies look incredible! I love creme eggs!

@larrythelizard omg that sounds terrifying! How scary for you, I really hope you’re ok. I’d be really upset too and completely get wanting to figure out what’s wrong before anything else. Your health comes first!

@Lexber welcome!!

@Lexber oh wow, you'll have great help so hopefully! Well I hope you aren't ttc long, the shine wears off soon enough 🙈

Welcome @Lexber welcome to the party bus! Did you do anything nice for Mother’s Day?

@Crazydoglady123 lockdown may be over but covid won’t be gone... just say you have developed a dry continuous cough 😷 isolation time, whoop!

Ohhh ladies my plans for going home didn't last long!

Firstly I was told I couldn't stay overnight anymore and had to come back at 10pm as my blood pressure was a bit high and they didn't feel comfortable me being out all night with no monitoring which was fine, totally understandable, so plan was to go home repack my bags with fresh clothes etc, have our takeaway and a quick bath and then go back.

Fast forward to 5.30pm, landed home, sorted the bags and ordered the takeaway. OH ran me a bath whilst I was doing the bags and as I was taking my knickers off ready to go into the bathroom I noticed I was very wet, trickling down my leg and pink/red spots on carpet.

Cue call to the hospital, no chance to even look at the nice candle lit bath OH had done never mind get in it, back to the hospital for 7pm. Waters confirmed to have broken at 36+1 😆

Could only happen to me, all I wanted was a restful evening at home with a bath and a nice gourmet burger!!

Unless I happen to go into spontaneous labour though the plan hasn't changed for me now, I'll still be staying in until 38 week induction to give baby's lungs a further chance of developing just will now be on antibiotics to prevent infection due to waters going.

Sorry for all of my rambling updates, not telling anyone else 'in real life' what's going on except for our parents so it's nice to have people to talk to about it!

Aww @Ltay2 that's a shame you didn't get your nice bath at home but ohh waters have broken exciting... sounds like baby will be coming soon 😃 take care!

@Katao I had my coil out Wednesday and have been bleeding since what felt like AF and has really reduced today so 🤞🏼 I am starting first cycle. I'm so confused if it was just a removal bleed or early AF (due 19th) I have never been heavy and it felt like a light AF. I have OPK to start testing to get an idea of what's going off, but I'm also aware it could take months to get a cycle back?!

Anyone have experience of TTC after a coil?!
I've seen some conceive pretty much within first few weeks and had a bleed then nothing and a BFP, but also others had nothing at all for 6/12wks and cycles all over? Hoping and praying I'm in the first group and I don't get my AF end of the week when due (usual before and during -only spotting 28 days cycle) I would much rather ovulate 🤣

@Haiyaa it's been a chilled day, youngest at her dads, eldest on the sofa but I did get breakfast in bed so I'm happy.

Hope everyone had a lovely day and spent it with people they love xx

Thank you so much everyone for your messages.

I'm sorry I'm not contributing much hopefully once I get these pills from doctor I'll be feeling better.

@Justanothercyster i had loads of cramping the past few weeks and everything looked good today.
Not easy but try relax.

Xxx
