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

Hey ladies sorry I've been quiet. I've moved house officially now. My fiancé's daughters love it ( we have them
Tuesday
Friday
Saturday
Sunday
So it's important that they like it and it was a big decider on where we moved etc. It's the house I want to have my own in. So bad. Oh I hope this move is what I needed ladies. xx

Oh and sorry @Minster2012 I’m looking into starting acupuncture in the next few weeks!

@Florence13 I wrote a reply then thought maybe she means the memes and I'm going to look like a twit talking about dd when you meant memes 🙈😂

@paintfairy I have a child and life does not cease to exist!! It's a bit different but they really do slot in if you want them to. Some people choose to alter their lives completely and mould themselves around a baby/child and there are others like myself who made adjustments to carry on my usual but just with a child. I'm lucky and have friends who didn't mind a baby/toddler/child tagging along on lunch dates and girly nights in etc. I took her on her first abroad holiday at 14 months. Her dad still played golf every weekend in his golf league and I still got my beauty treatments, our solo activities.
My oh had a real wobble when we got our bfp, despite trying for months it sort of became here's all the reasons why we shouldn't be having a baby, it really really upset me. Similar comments, he'll be almost 40 so he's too old, can't go away on holiday etc basically that our lives will be over for the next 18 years 🙄 we had our scan and he's since admitted that he was worried and trying not to get his hopes up in case something goes wrong. Instead of saying that though, because some men are useless at the whole communication thing, he just acted like a complete arse! Hope he sorts what's bothering him soon because it really isn't nice having it taken out on you in the form of moods and snarky comments 😘
And on the feral thing, we live in the sticks and dd is definitely feral 🙈😂 lockdown didn't help this! She lived in wellies and a boiler suit! She cracked that if she went out early and stayed out she avoided home schooling 😂 BiL (farmer) had a wee helper for months!!

@franklydear @bez91 sorry about AF ladies. 😞

@amy2503 hope the move went well and wasn't too stressful?

Bedtime for me now. I think after the excitement of telling my boss and colleagues today it's hit me. And I'm tired. Oh and the being sick as well. Hoping that's a singular occurrence tbh! DH sitting downstairs marking so i have the bed to myself ahhhhh

@Florence13 get the sledgehammer out 😂🤣 for the bath I mean not AF!

@Asthenia a few ppl have said they thought pregnacare lengthened their cycles I think so maybe it may also help your LP? Might be worth a shot? Acupuncture sounds pretty relaxing right now 😴

@amy2503 sounds lovely and pleased the move went well, you'll get there, did you see @Justanothercyster got her BFP recently and she's an "old girl" in bus terms 🤗

Oh @Franklydear I'm sorry, AF really is a fucker!

@paintfairyI'm not sure about the whole 'they fit into your lifestyle' thing but I guess that depends on your lifestyle and what kind of child you get. What I will say though is that its like everything, you prioritise. You let go of what doesn't matter and keep what's important to you. And if you work as a team then you both get to do your own things too by supporting each other.

@bez91 @Franklydear sorry about af.

Welcome @Asthenia
@amy2503 glad you are happy with the move, hope everything else falls into place now 😉

Morning lovelies! Woohoo new bus 🚌
Thankyou all so much for your words! I really appreciate the support ❤️ can't reply to you all but I'm feeling so much better now and chilled again! Google and old MN threads didn't help the matter! Think it's normal to have the odd wobble but just got to pull yourself out of it.

@Minster2012 First midwife appt is this morning and next scan is next Friday 😘 (which you will all have to help me through again lol 😂😅)

@Dipsy77 wow oh my god your twins are absolutely gorgeous!! Just perfect! You must be over the moon! 💕 Such lovely news!

@Gem176 thankyou for your support! And how bloody cute is your DD! Beautiful! 🥰

@sausahe1990 Happy Birthday for yesterday lovely lady!! 💕🥳🎉 Hope you had a brilliant day! I did try to stay up to finish catching up and wish you happy birthday but once again fell asleep half way through 🤭

@Gem176 oh bless you sorry I wasn’t clear which pics 😂

@HollieL567 I hope all goes well with your first midwife appointment.

I think AF is thinking about appearing!! Got some spotting this morning. Woohoo 😂

Ah @dipsy77 I remember you. Wow twins, That's just amazing 🥰🥰 sending much love ur way. Xx

@paintfairy like everyone said, you just make it fit. I've a T1 diabetic son and some nights can be worse than the 3/4hr feeds lol but as I say to any parent getting the diagnosis. Don't change ur life and house to work around it, make it fit, our lifes are pretty much the same as b4, we take it in our stride, bar the odd hiccup. Hence ttc at 40 🙈🙈

@franklydear 😢💕

@amy2503 how exciting. We are in our home 3yrs in June and couldn't be happier. Nothing better than putting your own stamp on it, enjoy x

So 8dpo today. Just recently started monitoring bbt (got my bfp when I did last) but my head just wasnt right to do it since. So back tracking it, can I ask as I'm not 100% sure. But if I wake 2hrs earlier than normal do I add .4° to it. .1° for every half hr??

Following my RHR as it's on Fitbit and know it's not as accurate BUT, big jump today. (Pic attached) fingers crossed it continues to rise.

Having drinks tonight with my ttc buddy (the 1 who had mmc just b4 me) its months since we've had anyone round, looking forward to it though. (Fingers crossed it's my last session)

@2alreadywantanother ooo that's exciting! I had a dip at 7dpo the month I got my BFP then it went back up like yours has! Fingers crossed for you 💪🏼

Had an okay day at work yesterday but had a god awful hormonal migraine which made me sick again. Hate to say it but think they'll be a regular occurrence for me for a while. 2 now in 2 weeks 🥺

@Minster2012 omg that's amazing !!!!!! How long was she trying for!!!! (For some reason I can't tag her... my phones being a pain) xxxxxxxxxx

@lucyrp yeah this is the rise just b4 my bfp early aug. Constant jumps of 1 daily. Big difference here but havent had a jump like it since mmc. This is the 1st month things seem back right, cm, sensitive boobs/nipples etc. Maybe it took that time for my body to recover 🤷‍♀️ I've 1 more cycle after this to get my bfp b4 what would have been my due date 😢 not sure how I'll feel then. Few I know due around the same date so have limited what I see on Facebook rather than unfriending. Least then my Facebook isn't plastered with their babies 🙈 dont get me wrong I'm delighted for them but my hormones may not be lol

Oops a pic would help

Sorry about af @Franklydear lots of choc for you today

@Asthenia Pregnacare is good but I know a lot of ladies who've tried it and it's lengthened their cycle and messed it up. It might help with you LP though?

@amy2503 @Minster2012 yeah I'm an oldie 👵🏼 it WILL happen! It's been 18 months ttc for us :) got the bloody shock of my life when I saw the bfp haha.

@2alreadywantanother eek fingers crossed! 🤞🏼

Morning!
Just done a quick joe wicks HIIT to start the day boom 💪🏻

@amy2503 @Justanothercyster it was nearly 2 years right Cos you were already in with the fertility clinic? I think 16 cycles or something was it? Her fella was 1.5 months into a 3 month course of supplements it was amazing we are all over the moon, Milo the dog is gonna be a big brother 🤗🥰

@2alreadywantanother oooooooo let's hope it's this month!

@Florence13 omg come on Aunt Flo!! 🤞🏻

@Dipsy77 oh wow your twins are gorgeous!! Congratulations❤️

@Franklydear so sorry af arrived x

@Florence13 yesss to af finally making an appearance, for once we are happy about af on this bus😂

@2alreadywantanother fingers crossed for you!! That rhr looks good🤞🏼

@paintfairy sorry I've just been catching up and was reading the posts about your OH, and whilst I completely agree with the other girls in he's probably just panicking thinking that this could be real very soon and he'll be having a wobble, I always think he needs to man up (sorry) and understand how emotionally draining and difficult TTC is, and you NEED the support, and if he isn't going to give it you then fuck him and speak to your friends irl if that's what you need, and if he moans and throws a bitch fit about it, maybe he should talk about it and show you the support you deserve, I'm sorry if this offends you by insulting the OH but you deserve to be able to vent your feelings lovely x

@Minster2012 aww thank you lovely 🥰 such kind words. I'm still poas every morning 😂

@Justanothercyster that’s such great news for you! Had you started investigations etc?
I think I will try the Pregnacare just to see. Another option is to add a B complex to the mix I’m already taking? Not sure.
I’m still in bed (on leave this week) really should drag myself up for a run! Happy Friday everyone x

@Franklydear sorry about AF. 😔
@Katao I suppose it depends what your lifestyle is. If its out socialising in posh wine bars every weekend, then penalty not. 🤣 But we don't really do anything like that. Its more the hobbies, we don't do much else. We are both antisocial. 🤣
@Gem176 living in the sticks being feral is my dream life to be honest!
@HollieL567 I hope your appointment goes well this morning!
@Minster2012 what are the joe wicks ones like? Harder than emk? I'm still limping around. I forced myself to do the boyband one yesterday (after a day off) but I don't dare do one today. My back will likely give up on me. So I'm going to try and find some yoga for today i think.
Still no leakage on the progesterone front. I'm going to brave no pants tonight i reckon. I hate sleeping in pants. No symptoms yet either. Which is disappointing?!

Fitbit people! Do I want an inspire (hr or 2) or a charge 3? Which is more comfortable to wear? I can't really find much difference on Google as to what they do.

@paintfairy the joe wicks ones are more cardio based so think burpees (theres ALWAYS burpees) and mountain climbers and high knees I like to mix it up so I get an all round workout over the week-EMKfit, joe wicks, Pilates/yoga that way I think your muscles are moving in really good ways. If your back hurts I'd do a light Pilates not joe wicks. I've had a Fitbit charge & liked it Cos you could wear it in the shower/& when I did aqua aerobics some aren't ok for swimming, not sure on the others.

@Justanothercyster I think that's fair enough 😂😂

@Vil10 no, I agree with what you are saying. He's not naturally that way and sometimes its as frustrating as hell. Like you say- you need people to step up sometimes. I do wonder if I'm supportive though (in other ways) because I actually am not sure I am. I mean- I take control and sort stuff for him. But I mean more emotionally I guess. I did ask him last night at bed time why he was grumpy and what was up with him. He just said he's fed up of every day being the same. I didn't get much else out of him. I said well it was the same for me and I don't appreciate getting my head bitten off when I'm trying to talk to him.

@Asthenia pregnacare/seven seas/plain folic acid made no difference to me in terms of cycle length. I wonder if it only does if there was something missing. I tried b vits - just watch those. I got b50s and they gave me stomach cramps (digestive wise). They were just too much for me. I tried again another month and the same thing happened. So it was definitely that.

Not catching up today, on a mammoth admin day for the school, I'll report soon

@holliel567 good luck for today hope all goes well ❤️

Morning everyone, belatedly taking my seat! Hope you're all ok 😊
