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

@Franklydear sorry to hear you have had a stressful day.

@Vil10 I know I never thought I would be happy about af 😂

@Minster2012 woo to af! So sorry to hear Facebook memories are not being helpful today.

@Hopeful110 I completely understand and it is normal to feel this way let yourself be sad I think we all feel the same. I know that I have felt a lot of grief over my early loss to. Sending hugs.

I had a review with current primary school, ds is doing fantastic! Happy dance
Second call to the shit school senco, I think they are starting to get the impression I might be a pushy parent.... Still haven't managed to speak to her

@Franklydear ah I see so on the no Spanish being a good ground for appeal yes then and do they have yoghurts?? or mousses?? that would also be good!

@paintfairy yes I got awful side effects mimicking the symptoms of pregnancy but are you taking one did you say? I was on 3 per night and my boobs were HORRENDOUS, broken sleep, nauseous but I guess one might have no effect at all anyway! I'm broken so I wouldn't worry! and you aren't too many dpo are you so is it early for any pregnancy symptoms?

@Florence13 I'll be opening the wine today...

@Minster2012 don't mock it, introducing a new food group is an achievement

Noooooo @Franklydear I didn't mean to mock trying to scrabble back into affections of darling online friend I'm sorry please love me again 😔I can bring wine???

@Franklydear shit about the school. I hope you manage to sort it!

@Minster2012 how do you take 3 a night? Do they all go in at once? 😯 I suppose they are supporting me to see if there's a change. Where as with ivf they need to make sure it's enough and probably overdo it to be sure? I'm only 5dpo, so too early for any anything really. Also- if you have to have them twice a day (which she mentioned might have to happen, if there's no change) how does the day time one stay in when you aren't lying down?! 🤔

@Franklydear pushy parent is good! We're all behind you anyway!

Any guesses what's going on with my body, quite a lot of CM today, a bit bloated and a tiny bit crampy with a bit of spotting but f all showing on ovulation sticks! DH was up with DS in the night so is shattered, do I make him 🍆 just in case or do I leave him be?! 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Minster2012 I made my pot at about 6.30 and tested it at 11.30ish. Got a blank circle but not sure if that's new holder or lack of LH?!

Girls I havnt caught up yet. I'm very sorry, I've been cake decorating & I wanted to share my creation as I'm very proud of it 💕

@Minster2012 still love you, but bring the wine, I know it's hard to fathom how important it feels, so your kid ate a yogurt....
I have another option, undersudscribed, so I have to explore that one, a bit out of the way, so work would have to change too, and I need to contact the autism association to help me appeal for the one I want, but we do have options yet, I have only started...
@Sausage1990 that looks great, this malarkey and af at the same time, I deserve some cake, right?

@Franklydear am I forgiven 😘🤞🏻😔

@paintfairy yeah for ivf they shut down your ovaries so I guess they are "giving you the full amount" yep you shove one after the other after the other after the other! And there's often still residue from the night before, and yep we have no TMI so if we had sex his knob came out white from residue from the nights before 😂🤣. If you are doing morning and night ladies put one up then lay down for half an hour then the outer layer usually dissolves straight away (which is often the residue of which then comes out on the pants) and the white insides is left to dissolve over time but yeah some does usually build up and come out but not loads. It doesn't just succumb to gravity though!

@larrythelizard no one will know the answer to that but I'd have thought it would be ok for a few hours!! You won't be the only one 😂

@Sausage1990 AMAZING!! 🎂now you've gotta not eat it all!

@Minster2012 but you have to learn to celebrate odd autism achievements, happy dance for yogurt

@Sausage1990 what a gorgeous cake! I've never attempted anything like it - one of the many things I look forward to doing for a future family of mine lol.

So ladies I am fuming today - OH had his SA this morning and I emailed the doctor's secretary to let her know the last test has been done and can I please arrange a follow up. She emailed me with a number to call to set this up (no offence but how does it work to have a secretary that doesn't set up appointments?). It was the wrong number but the person gave me the right one to call - which in turn took 15 min of being on hold to get through... only to be told my 8th of July appointment is the follow up! I told them surely it's unreasonable to have to wait 6 months between appointments just to hear what my results are? So the central booking guy agreed and said he'd try and move it forward for me, and booked it in for the 25th of March - PHEW!

But I'm just flabbergasted... like what if there was something wrong with my results? Would they just sit on that knowledge for that long without doing anything about it? Also my doctor specifically ordered an AMH test for me as she was worried I could have a low ovarian reserve and said if I do we can get started straight away and not wait for the two year mark - clearly she can't have been that worried!

That is a joke @Juno231 I do think that some places are using covid as an excuse now! Pleased you managed to get the appt moved!

Love the cake @Sausage1990!

@Juno231 wow that is outrageous! I do really wonder about the nhs sometimes, like how do they run so badly sometimes! We still don't have our SA result bk..
@Sausage1990 well done on the cake! It's amazing!!
@Minster2012 sorry that that fb memory came up, that must have been hard to read and process. Read your blog today. Really amazing outcome! Astounding actually. Go you!
@Franklydear I'm glad ds tried yoghurt today that's great!
@paintfairy I'm so sorry I think I've missed your post about the iui transfer. When's the test date?
@Hopeful110 that sounded like a good plan for today, I hope it helped and that you're on your way to feeling better ♥️

@Minster2012 🤣🤣🤣 Hilarious. I love this post! But that makes sense. I honestly didn't know they shut down your own system for ivf. I was nosing on the fertility boards earlier. I just assumed they did it alongside! None of it makes much sense to me. I was also trying to Google long and short protocol and that made no sense either. Clearly the drs have reasons for whatever they do, but I literally don't understand most of it!
@Sausage1990 fab cake!
@Juno231 it really is like a lottery isn't it! Lottery of lunacy. That's my new name for fertility treatment on thy nhs. 🤣
@notyetamumbuttrying how long ago was the SA? And no you haven't missed it! Not there yet. I need a HSG first. But they are trialling me on progesterone for my spotting this month. I might ask to keep with that for a few months (assuming it works) after the HSG, and see if we can't manage naturally! If not, it'll be IUI.

@hopeful110 of course its the same loss. I had a mmc at 9+4 and had surgery. But I would look at someone and think you dont grieve the same. Certainly not. My due is mid apr and on dreading it. I'm getting teary even thinking about it. So will deffo be on here for a rant.
@asthenia yeah looking for a match and cant find anything with near as much in them as the proceive. I got the men and women's and DH swears he has more energy. So that's good.

@Juno231 that's shocking. Not good enough. Glad u got a closer apt.

@sausage1990 fab cake.

@paintfairy last Thursday so not too long ago really but I know they analyse it there and then so don't really understand why we can't get the result right away. We've been told we'd get a call back today and yesterday and to send emails and nothings happened so we'll keep on again next week as well. Ah ok I see! I hope it helps ♥️
Lottery of lunacy is a great phrase for it and also new bus title contender @Minster2012?! 👀

Oh @Franklydear I know it's a big deal I'm so sorry i didn't mean to be flippant I have a friend who's child has food aversions I just made a joke and I shouldn't I'm sorry darling 😔

@notyetamumbuttrying I know it's amazing about the AMH right! Bizarre I swear it's to do with my cortisol!

@Juno231 the nhs often astound me in many ways, in both amazing and awful ways in equal measures 😖

@paintfairy I knew nothing before too honestly it's mind boggling! But yeah they shut them down so they don't interfere and so they can control it all & also just in case you ovulate so there's not a problem with additional pregnancy and issues and extra hormones. There's so much to go on 😋

@Minster2012 don't worry, bad timing, af and frustrating admin means I could kill anybody today if in target, bestie has finally made contact about schools, boys got the same one, but she asked for that one, and knows I don't, hard subject, the school you chose for your child is not good enough for mine, they are both autistic, so no idea why she wants it, other than is round the corner, literally for me, two streets for her

@Sausage1990 aww that is an epic cake you should be super proud I cannot bake I mean I try I’m just not good at it.

@Juno231 that is ridiculous but glad they have sorted you an appointment for this month. And you will have a family to bake epic cakes for I just know it!

@paintfairy it sounds like he's in a bit of a rut if he's saying he's fed up of everyday being the same, does he mean just in general? I think it'll actually do him good to talk to you and voice his issues x

@Sausage1990 love the cake!!

@Juno231 wow that's a joke!! Glad you managed to get an earlier appointment though!!

We dropped the hamper round at our friends tonight and they absolutely loved it! So I'm happy!

@Vil10 its hard for anyone not to be in a rut right now I guess! He only logged off at 6.40pm. His working hours are meant to be 9-5.30 whilst wfh. He always logs on early too. But they've landed loads of work on him and I think he struggles to separate it from home. I'm like- nope, you don't just keep working because you can! But I do find it funny how a lot of people who feel stuck in a rut (even outside of lockdown) moan about it but actually won't make any effort to change anything? Anything I ask him to do outside routine, you'd think I'm asking something extreme? A phone app quiz last week for example. Let's just say If he turns into his mother I've got a massive problem. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 He said it doesn't bother him but neither his mum or dad sent him a birthday card this week, and I do think it does bother him. His dad is just a useless man. His mother, well, I have no good words to say. My family are the opposite so I can't really relate.
I'm pleased your friends liked the hamper! It was a lovely thing to do.
@Minster2012 yeah it's all very complex! I'm not even trying to understand it. I'm saving that delight until the time comes. 🤣
@notyetamumbuttrying no i completely agree. Our first SA the GP rang us 6 days later. This time I had an appointment a week and a half after it was done, so just got the results then. I think they do say allow a week. Which is ages, when like you say- they have to test it instantly!
@Franklydear that's awkward about your friend. But you must have your reasons. And she must have hers? Obviously you want what you think is best and so that's what you need to fight for. Fingers crossed for you!

@paintfairy yes, we both have our reasons and even both boys are autistic they are really different, mine lives school and dreams of university, hers has to be bribed to go and looks like an unconventional route will be better for him, plus she has a younger child to get to primary too

Loves school, although lives it is also accurate, he is pretty intense
