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

@notyetamumbuttrying well we celebrated really on Saturday, OH cooked a steak and got some cocktails from a bar in town, then yesterday I had a cake at my mums, I was working this morning but off this afternoon and I've been so spoilt off OH and friends and family, OH's mum got me a cake made and I got cupcakes too off OH's friends wife, and then tonight we're driving into manchester to get a takeaway from a place called the vietshack! So I've spent like 3 days celebrating really😂

@Florence13 @bez91 Thankyou!!x

@Gem176 oooo it is a good website! Oh wow that scan pic!!! Beautiful!! So glad all is okay❤️

@Gem176 aww fantastic scan picture so glad you feel relieved bless you.

@gem176 yayyyyy fabulous news what a fab scan pic, 😍😘 getting impatient for my 20 weeks now lol just 6 weeks to go feel like I'm wishing the pregnancy away! Xx

@Kirky658 no way are you 16 weeks ?!😱x

@Gem176 aww lovely scan picture 🥰🥰x

@lucyrp 14 weeks on Wednesday so 6 weeks till my 20 week scan xx

@Gem176 what a lovely scan photo, I bet you're relieved. You can relax now!

I think it was you @paintfairy suggested to do some IC OPKs after Clearblue to see if I was having multiple rises. Well after my peak this morning on CB, tried an IC OPK this afternoon and put it through an app and got this reading of 3.5. WTF? Is my body broken or is the test broken 🤣 the control line does seem faint

@Florence13 gosh yeah I bet! Are you a nurse?
@paintfairy too tempting not to isn't it! And it sets your mind at ease too. I'm sure I'll be poas mad going forward now!
@Gem176 yay gem, great news!! What a pic too, so clear!! And lol to your google search history today 😆
@Vil10 3 days celebrating sounds ideal! My bdays on Friday so will be having a bday weekend myself too! 🥳
@bez91 wish I could help but never done an IC before.

My birthday has been dampened a little... I met my mum as it's her birthday too - she retired last summer. She loves dogs and was admiring the dogs out nearby on our walk and I suggested she could get a dog now she's retired. She later messaged me saying she won't get a dog as she's hoping for grandkids soon 😭 the day I've booked the bloods I was already feeling a bit down that it's came to this but now I'm feeling pressured by family. I've never had it before maybe I was lucky to avoid these comments for so long but it's just horrible. I mean even if we were fertile and hadn't been trying I think it's quite cruel to push people into committing to something like that for your own benefit. Grandparents get to visit grandkids and enjoy them and hand them back to parents to do all the work. Sorry just had to vent!

@Gem176 lovely scan photo 😃

@Vil10 yep I started celebrating my birthday on Friday and dragged it out until today 😂 had to be a full weekend event

@bez91 yeah that's a non existent line! I usually struggle to hold wee so the time I tend to do mine falls about 7-8pm because I kind of drink less in that time and it just works. If I can manage to, I'll do more than 1 a day but I'm useless. I do however still manage to see a pattern of it coming and going. They don't cost much so I think it's definitely worth using them to see what's happening.

@Gem176 yay. Brilliant photo! I'm pleased all is well.
@2020mission my mum drops comments but I've not told her anything. Does yours know you were trying? It is pretty shit. But try not to think about it! It's hard enough having yourself worry about it, without others adding to it.

Lovely photo @Gem176 🥰

That’s a really clear scan photo @Gem176, baby already photogenic 🥰 glad you are feeling the relief and not too long until the 20 week scan.

Sorry about your mum being unknowingly insensitive. Do you have the kind of relationship where you could confide in her if you feel comfortable or do you think she will just keep bringing it up if she knows?

@Kirky658 I hope I can be as dedicated as you! I still haven’t lost the baby weight from round 1 so I’m hoping to remain active during my next pregnancy so that I will be able to recover more easily and make the most of that breastfeeding time!

Forgot to tag @2020mission

@2020mission oh honey I'm so sorry. I had a similar thing with my parents kept probing and in the end we explained about my endo and that it might be hard and thankfully they left us to it after that. Hopefully you can chat to her about it?

@haiyaa some days I don't feel very dedicated believe me 🤣

Congratulations @HappyMrsR 🥳 Hope the news has sunk in now 😊

Aww @franklydear those wee shoes are just too cute 🥰

@DJmum83 sorry to hear the sickness is still getting to you but glad to hear all is well with little jellybean

@Catherinettc never mind write a book, it could be a movie 😲 Read the article you posted about your mum, what an amazing and fun loving woman she sounded like thank you for sharing. She's obviously installed her strength and ability to keep going during the hard times, in you 🥰

How scary @larrythelizard! 😱 Hope you're feeling better now and resting up!

Welcome @lexber, in the nicest possible way Hope your journey is short!

Oh at @ltay2 this bubs really is keeping you on your toes! Hopefully you can hang on a few more weeks but if little one has other plans at least you're in the best place. Take the silver lining of not having to cook for the next wee while, doesn't quite offset the being woken up round the clock to be stabbed with needles and blood pressure done but it's a small silver lining at least.

@notyetamumbuttrying great news on the funding 🥳

Aww @Gem176 glad to hear your scan went well sounds like a big weight has been lifted off your shoulder hopefully you can relax now and enjoy the rest of the pregnancy 😊

Well after lots of do we don't we get back on the ttc journey we went out for a walk on mothers day and coming home saw a beautiful rainbow above my house, the first word that popped into my head was 'rainbow baby!' so took it as a sign that maybe we need to be stronger and keep trying just a bit longer (tho I still do want to adopt further down the line even if it ups our family to 3 if we get a rainbow baby first). So was all mixed happy, excited, scared ......then found out my SIL is pregnant, a 'happy accident' 🤦‍♀️ of course I'm happy for her but I don't need to tell you guys the frustration of trying for ages and someone telling you they got pregnant without even trying! So now just feeling meh again 🙄

Happy Birthday @Vil10 and @Sausage1990 🥳🥳🥳

@Gem176 that is the cuuuuuutest scan pic 💖

Sorry, I'm such a bad passenger. Suppose it's a good thing I'm not stewing over things. Gona try the every 2 days approach during fw see if that works. As soon ad my proceive is finished I'm buying no more. That's 6mths of taking them, I got bfp while just taking folic acid. Near the end of cycle I'm going to contact the fertility clinic and get the ball rolling. I'm assuming bloods need done at certain times? Will be continuing to monitor bbt and RHR, using conceive plus and clearblue opks. My ttc buddy is considering going to the clinic too. Have no idea what it entails etc but I wont be long finding out lol hope everyone is well. Sorry I didnt get catching up xx

@paintfairy @Haiyaa I didn't want her to always be wondering and asking if it's happened yet and I also felt my husband might not want anyone to know so feel like it's not just my secret to share, you know? Once I've had the tests with the GP if anything comes up that's causing issues on my side I'll consider telling her. She messaged me later about something else so I've completely ignored her comment and hopefully she wont say anything again anytime soon. I thought I was safe from these comments during the pandemic as most people would assume it's not the first thing on our minds during these times... even though it is for us all 😅

@2020mission that makes complete sense. I feel the same really. Hopefully she'll not bring it up again soon.

Sounds fair enough @2020mission, and yes you would think that during a pandemic people wouldn’t ask these questions but I guess people are now looking forward to some freedom and think it’s all back on the table as it were. Maybe just tell her to get the damn dog 😂 pretty sure there isn’t a rule against having a dog and baby in the same house!

@larrythelizard awww crikey!! That sounds awful! Hope you get your results back fast!? Must have been very scary for you!

@Ltay2 awwww noooo you was so looking forward to getting out of there for the night before you go back! Bless you. So typical but so long as that little one stays put a little longer, must be awful having to stay in hospital so long bless you. You aren't rambling we love hearing your updates! Keep us posted and hope you and baby have a healthy birth when the time comes!

@DJmum83 yeyyy on the scan! 🎉

@Justanothercyster when is your scan honey?

@Sausage1990 awww hope you are ok lovely!? To be honest I still get a little envious over my colleague who's pregnant and is nearly 18 wks and I am pregnant! But I think it's mainly because she is so ungrateful and doesn't know how lucky she is in the slightest...and yet she has a healthy growing baby! I think it's also cause of my losses I'm so aware of what can go wrong and I'm not yet past that stage

@Catherinettc wow what a beautiful lady your mum sounded! So sorry you had such a terribly sad time, loosing your mum and dad that must have been incredibly hard, what amazing strength you've obviously shown 💞

Hi everyone

Dr signed me off for another week and put me on buccastem they dissolve at the top of your lip, but I'm still throwing up and the nausea is brutal. Have slept all day. Praying they start to work.

@Catherinettc what a story you are one strong lady and by the sounds of it you get that from your mum. Your mum sounds like a lovely person. Keep your memories alive and chat to us anytime about her.

@Gem176 wow what a brilliant clear scan picture. Hope you can relax and enjoy.

@Justanothercyster sorry the crappy feeling has kicked in hope it doesn't last long.

@Lexber welcome I got the coil out in October and I'm 8 weeks pregnant. Hope it's a short journey for you.

I'm trying desperately to catch up in between being sick, just know I'm here on the side lines.

@Minster2012 hope your ok, and bloody AF makes her appearance soon for you.
And that your cold clears up soon.

Omg @Franklydear I love those wee booties. They are just the cutest xx

@Juno231 hope your ok? Is it next week your appointment? Hope it all goes well. Xx

@lucyrp and @Kirky658 hope your both keeping ok. Not long till 20 week scan? Will you both find out?

@Ltay2 goodluck for when baby comes. Hope your doing ok and the hospital looking after you.

@DKDK123 thank you so glad all was ok with scan.

So sorry if I have missed anybody. I'm with you all xxx

@DJmum83 2 weeks until my 20 week scan! I'm not going to find out we're having a surprise! Have you tried cyclizine ?? Those are What I was prescribed for my sickness and they worked great for me! How're you ? Xxx

Sorry ladies haven't really been able to keep up today will catch up tomorrow morning

@DJmum83 that sounds horrendous! I hope the medication work for you.

@lucyrp if I'm no better tomorrow with these I'm phoning for the ones you mentioned as read good reports about them.
We want a surprise too, as this is def the last and I found out with others. Xx
