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

@Kirky658 ooh what are you hoping for? I'm still feeling crappy today, but will force myself in tomorrow. Just logistically difficult as my classroom is mile away from any toilets if I need to be sick and there's no TAs in any of my classes, not even a cupboard I can run into 😖 oh and cramps have resumed this morning so naturally I'm an anxious mess again!

@Gem176 awww what a bubba! ❤️

@2020mission Oh honey those comments are like a knife to the heart aren't they, all you want to do is scream "WE'RE TRYING OUR BEST!" But can't. Big hugs x

@DKDK123 oh the accidental babies are so hard to cope with, hope you can power through it with your rainbow sign x

@HollieL567 My early private one is on Monday next week :)

@DJmum83 Thanks, hope yours eases too x

@Minster2012 Oh dear :( hope it all works out x

@paintfairy Sorry about af, treat yourself today x

@Franklydear woooo 🤘🏼

@Crazydoglady123 yay for ivf cycle news! It's a tricky decision but if all looks good I'd go for it.

Crazydoglady123 · 16/03/2021 11:23

@paintfairy this is only my second cycle of Clomid. I think they let you have have six cycles of it. The problem for needing Clomid is that I don't ovulated but on Clomid last time I over responded to it and ended up in a bit of a mess which is why my IVF consultant couldn't believe my NHS consultant had put me back on it. Because of that though and how many follicles I have he thinks we'll get a really good number of eggs with the hope that we can have a blast or two frozen (if we're lucky and they get to that stage) so in the future if we want more babies we'll just go straight back for ET again so I wouldn't be having Clomid again anyway

Kirky658 · 16/03/2021 11:26

@justanothercyster I'm so hoping for a girl tbh but we don't mind at all just grateful. Oh god what a nightmare! My DH is a teacher and he works at a school 45 mins away, he is going to be a nightmare to get hold of once I go into labour even though he says he will keep his phone on 🤔 please try not to worry about your cramps I know it is so hard, remember no bleeding is always good news. Scan next week right, how many weeks will that be? ❤️

@crazydoglady123 good news for you on the IVF. Sounds a difficult decision but I would say follow your heart xx

Vil10 · 16/03/2021 11:33

@notyetamumbuttrying I don't blame you!!

@2020mission so sorry you felt low on your birthday, I don't think people realise how shit it makes you feel when they make comments!!

@Crazydoglady123 Thankyou!! I'm sorry I'm really useless with ivf information and everything so I can't really give any advice that you won't already know, I just think way up the pros and cons of waiting and then go with your heart x

@DKDK123 I'm being so lazy today, I feel really off and tired again, don't know what's wrong with me, so my steps definitely won't be good this week I don't think!!

@Clairey844 hahaha good idea!! They were amazing if I do say so myself!!

Crazydoglady123 · 16/03/2021 11:39

Thank you @Justanothercyster. Sorry you're still suffering with sickness.

Thank you @Kirky658 and @Vil10. I've actually just wrote out the pros and cons for going off this cycle and there's more pros ♥️

Kirky658 · 16/03/2021 11:54

@crazydoglady123 I'm a huge lover of a good pros and cons list 😘❤️

Dollybird89 · 16/03/2021 12:25

Hi ladies after the break down to Drs Friday had a bit of quality time with OH and been moping around but starting to feel a bit better. Yoga has been good too. Back on the hiit workouts and just pushing through the pain as that could be around for 6 weeks! Still no af so nothing new there. Got a virtual funeral on Friday and I'm going to my dads to set it all up for him as its his uncle. Gonna be nice to see him as I'm his carer it's been hard staying away but now we both vaccinated it's safer now to go care for him. Now I have the battle with Drs to get him assessed for dementia as his memory is getting progressively worse. Oh the Joy's! Back up to the top deck for me lol

2alreadywantanother · 16/03/2021 12:35

@Paintfairy I'm taking proceive 6mths now and nothing, I got my bfp justvtaking folic acid the last time but a few friends at fertility clinics were told they were the best. Obviously not in my case. So when is box is gone I'm going to switch to what ur using. Seven seas. I'd have 4 packs of them to every pack of proceive 🤔

paintfairy · 16/03/2021 12:40

@2alreadywantanother I honestly wonder if it makes any difference. All the people that get their bfp probably would have regardless of what they took. I've tried everything going. I haven't tried the expensive ones though. For men I think they can work, but for us? I'm not so sure!

2alreadywantanother · 16/03/2021 12:41

@paintfairy I had both myself and my DH on them. Changed him to different ones there and I've a few days left. Then I'm buying no more of the expensive 1s. Imagine getting a bfp after stopping 🙈

paintfairy · 16/03/2021 12:44

@2alreadywantanother at least with men they can check. So- take stuff and see if the next SA is better. But with us- its impossible to know!

Minster2012 · 16/03/2021 12:53

Sorry ladies I'm being so rubbish atm,
Bit of an emotional time for me tbh, last year tomorrow is the anniversary of starting to take the meds for the medicated miscarriage and this time last year (for 2 weeks leading up to it) was when I was doing the round trip of 3 hours on my own every 2 days to get it confirmed with the hcg etc & obviously they I went into lockdown 3 days later. So it's a bit of rubbish head time for me what with no AF, no BFP, really busy at home, and that too. I'm just struggling a bit to try be a good driver too. I'm so sorry. I shall have to keep checking in and try sort out a new bus ☹️

@minster2012 ah hunni. We are all here for you. You are a rock to many of us. The least we can do is be here for you. It's just an emotional rollercoaster.
Why and how we continue to go on ttc each month makes us who we are. It's not an easy choice. Never did I think I'd be ttc after 2 kids and a mc. Esp when I got the bfp so easily. I do wonder why I keep trying and we do beat ourselves up over it. You lot have been a blessing, someone to vent too and each of you knowing how hard the journey actually is makes it that little bit easier.

Kirky658 · 16/03/2021 13:02

@minster2012 you do not need to apologise. You have been through so much and you need to take some time for you. It must be so difficult to think back to last year and I am just sending you so much love and virtual support! Xx

Justanothercyster · 16/03/2021 13:36

@Kirky658 it's tough! I think we're going to leave it as a surprise but secretly I want a girl haha. As long as it's healthy I'll be happy though. Yeah on Monday :) I'll be 7 weeks.

@Minster2012 aww bless you, all too much! You must take a break from here if you need to, and just be kind to yourself xx

Juno231 · 16/03/2021 13:38

@Minster2012 never apologise silly! You're doing a great job on here and we totally understand that life isn't peachy at all times. Big hugs to you and take care of yourself - that's the most important thing

bez91 · 16/03/2021 13:42

@Minster2012 don't be daft, you're entitled to feel shitty with shitty anniversaries coming up. Look after yourself 💕

WicketBasket · 16/03/2021 14:01

@Minster2012 Sending you lots of love and good vibes! You’re absolutely allowed to take care of yourself and take breaks away from things, be kind to yourself Flowers Do you mind if I ask a question of all you ladies on this thread? Did ask elsewhere but no replies Blush

It was just about SMEP and how strict you have to be. Got my peak OPK on Saturday but only managed to DTD on Friday, Saturday and Sunday- not on the three to four consecutive days post peak so was wondering whether this could potentially be enough? Xxx

Juno231 · 16/03/2021 14:04

@WicketBasket that's definitely enough! Odds are you ovulated on Sunday so the Mon/Tues sessions would have been just to be safe but probably not fruitful!

Haiyaa · 16/03/2021 14:15

I didn’t realise it was a big anniversary for you @Minster2012, it’s hard when these things come up and if space and time is what you need then so be it - I needed a couple of days just because AF arrived! Sometimes we just go into ourselves when we feel down but if you want to keep talking about it then there are many eyes/ears here for you!

Minster2012 · 16/03/2021 14:30

Thank you ladies! @Haiyaa @bez91 @Justanothercyster @Kirky658 @2alreadywantanother @blackcurrantqueen everyone 😘maybe i should head up onto the top deck too with @Dollybird89 room for another?? 😜

@WicketBasket I def agree with @Juno231 the ones afterwards are def more safe than sorry and it's usually the ones before or on that are the more important so you should be concerned 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Juno231 oooo yes please why not! My freezer is looking awful thin 🤣🙌🏻cba with much atm tbh (except acronyms!)

I'm 2 windows short on paint, on the nicest day to paint, DS being good for a change. Drive to the shop to get some, they can't mix it up as no bass colour. Ffs. Have to go back tomorrow. Bastard.

Crazydoglady123 · 16/03/2021 14:48

Glad you're feeling a bit better @Dollybird89

Thinking of you @Minster2012. You've been through so much and that's understandable to feel how you feel at the minute. We're all here for you like you have been for us

Juno231 · 16/03/2021 14:49

@Minster2012 ha that sounds so typical! DM me your email on insta or here and I'll tell hellofresh to send you the link.

Kirky658 · 16/03/2021 14:58

@justanothercyster how exciting!!!! Not much longer to wait till you see little bub ❤️ xx

WicketBasket · 16/03/2021 15:16

Thanks @Juno231 and @Minster2012
You’ve given me a bit of reassurance Grin

Sending you all lots of love Flowers
