We are back in business & trundling into summer with weight loss galore & hopefully some promotions! 🥳🥸 Yesss ladies though there’s quite a lot of injuries lately 🤒🤕so be careful, don’t fall off the bus!

Welcome to the knickerwatch brigade 👀be it for spotting spotting 🩸, Aunt Flo or even pesky progesterone leakage 💊even after BFP many of us here know the knickerwatch needs to be maintained so we operate a strict rotation policy of participants (partici 🩲maybe 🤗)

Here is the bus where anything goes, and chat isn’t just TTC it’s anything. Ranting very much encouraged to her things off your (are they sore boobs?!) chest

The price of your bus pass is an embarrassing story please, doesn’t have to go be TTC related and nothing is TMI here so let’s hope the ride (bus not banging) doesn’t take long 🤞🏻🙌🏻

And if you see mention of my blog then blame these guys they made me do it...#shamelessplug

minstermusings.co.uk for the blog that’s where the full stuff happens

@Minster2012 oh AF can be a right cow can't it, I'm sure something proper will happen soon! Yay to exchange, that's so exciting!! I hope yours speeds up now too. We had our valuation done Monday and the buyer is having hers next week so hoping we'll be exchanging next month! 😬
@Lexber bless you, are you in a hot tub?
@larrythelizard sounds good, well done! Hope all your balloons are blown now! 🎈
@Crazydoglady123 hehe I'm an enigma 🤭 it's the same day as your 12 week one! 😃
@paintfairy eek good luck for potential op tomorrow mate!!
@Kirky658 glad it's all sorted now, you don't need that grief and stress!

Dollybird89 · 16/06/2021 21:03

@minster2012 I'm still waiting on AF too 🤣 thought she made an appearance earlier but it stopped again so I'm thinking it was a build up from all the driving I did. .. only a smidge on a pad ... Swear she's stalling till Friday .. I wanted hot hotel sex too... Without the mess 🤣 or the hotel staff gonna think I'm a murderer 🤣 gonna have to pack a dark towel 🤣🤣🤣

InkyPaper · 16/06/2021 21:22

@feliznavidad2 5 stone is amazing! I do weight watchers myself, trying to get down to at least 12st, hoping being my healthiest self might actually help me get pregnant

@Sausage1990 the biggest of hugs for you lovely ❤️ there's Turner's syndrome on my Dad's side, it's a cruel and horrible thing. Getting answers though is half the battle. Take care of yourself ❤️

@paintfairy good luck with the operation stuff!

Sorry, I disappeared again 🙈 AF was absolutely brutal but mercifully (and unusually) short for me (5 days instead of 7). Took time to reassess my craptastic habits and have started doing meditation, yoga, and longer daily walks coupled with weight watchers. Also trying to be better with work stress and also not crumble every time a friend or family member tells me they're pregnant because they're all so bloody fertile I'm at risk of dehydration.

larrythelizard · 16/06/2021 21:24

Your DH is a complete gem @Kirky658 🏅

5 stone @feliznavidad2?! Wowsers girl, that's awesome!!

You could piss on an expensive stick @Minster2012, that would force her out of hiding!

Balloons done and all ready for the morning @becarefuloutthere 🥳

feliznavidad2 · 16/06/2021 21:31

Thanks girls, I have to say, the 5 stone was about 8 years ago. It's then wobbled and slowly increased up, with a few good reductions along the way until DS was born, and it crept up until here we are now. 🤦‍♀️

I need to get with a programme. And find some willpower (she says eating an ice cream) 🙄

I'm sorry to hear what a time you're having/have had @Sausage1990

Good luck for the op @paintfairy - and hope they've given you more painkillers now

Have a fab time celebrating tomorrow @larrythelizard 😃

Vil10 · 16/06/2021 21:40

@feliznavidad2 I use MyFitnessPal! I love it and think it's so easy to use! Happens to the best of us, I do love having a pt a few times a week, keeps my focused I think!

@Minster2012 I feel like I want everything like yesterday, house, holiday, baby😂 I'm always in 2 minds like do I calm down and wait for them to happen or do I manifest the shit out of it! So I do the 30 min cardio sessions at the end of my weights session, so I class them as the same session really if that makes sense, then I do my own workouts 3 times a week and have a pt session 2 times a week, so really I'm at the gym mon-fri then walking Saturday and Sunday! Thankyou, I feel so much better for it!

@Kirky658 good on him!!

@InkyPaper that sounds a good plan!! I wish I could get into yoga or meditation!

bez91 · 16/06/2021 21:49

Wow @feliznavidad2 5 stone is some achievement. I've used MFP before, it can be time consuming but the principle is great and if you track steps etc it adds your activity to you calorie allowance for the day (if you want it to)

@Vil10 you sound a machine with all those workouts 😂 good on you, dead focused! DH is signing us up for gym membership, he gets it discounted through work as it's local authority run. I can see me going and him slacking, he's pretty fit from work but I don't think a 6pack would hurt him 😆

Sounds good @InkyPaper that yoga with Adrienne on YouTube is pretty good that someone on here suggested previously

InkyPaper · 16/06/2021 21:59

@Vil10 I hope so! Need to get my head on straight 😂

@bez91 yes! I love her videos, they're great 😄

Minster2012 · 16/06/2021 22:05

Oh yeah @Lexber that looks so good, def looking like a Hot tub & im jealous

@becarefuloutthere come on houses!! (And AF) that's good bout the valuations, seeeeee you have the baby & the house coming! 🙌🏻

@Dollybird89 that's exactly how I feel!! Only less on the murder or dark tunnel 🤣I said to DH last night "if you want sex it should be tonight as I think tomorrow will be off limits" he wasn't in the mood now it's not come more and I'm not in the mood 🤣😳

@InkyPaper I love that round up for you, and so pleased for the shorter AF. Get in on the healthier lifestyle & mind

@larrythelizard I could do that's a good shout but I'm 99.9% sure I didn't ovulate and I don't have any expensive sticks in. I've used a cheapie this morning & nothing. Boom you can relax then!

@Kirky658 really pleased it's sorted and a misunderstanding 🙌🏻

@Vil10 🤣😆we will manifest the shit out of it for you & you can relax & enjoy your sessions (workout & 🍆) I thought you must have combined somewhere! I got my BFP when I was doing lots of sessions, I'm getting back into it now as it makes me feel better

OP posts:
Vil10 · 16/06/2021 22:38

@bez91 hahaha that's how I feel at the minute!! I've always been into the gym and fitness but I am now more than ever! Hahaha yes girl!! Deffo try and bribe him with the "6 pack might get you more sex" line 😂

@InkyPaper you've got this!!x

@Minster2012 we can manifest each other's!! I'm manifesting for all those on this group to get a big fat juicy fucking positive!! Absolutely, I mean I've never been really unfit or had a high bmi or anything but I'd like to hope all these little changes and improving my fitness will help towards me getting my BFP! It does make you feel better doesn't it, you'll never regret a workout!

InkyPaper · 16/06/2021 22:57

@Minster2012 @Vil10 thanks lovelies 🥰❤️

Minster2012 · 17/06/2021 07:01

becarefuloutthere · 17/06/2021 08:37

@Minster2012 ahh so sweet of you to note it all down 😘 tested again this morning with a blue dye and the line is defo there! 🥳 I've ordered some digitals now so that I can hopefully see the numbers go up! When should I use the first one? Next Tuesday I guess?!

Good luck to everyone else today, we're all rooting for you!! 👍🏾

Vil10 · 17/06/2021 09:15

Good luck girls!! @becarefuloutthere @Juno231 @2020mission @clolo ❤️

Lexber · 17/06/2021 09:19

Happy 17th everyone - good luck ladies!! 🤞🏼

@Minster2012 yeah it's a hot tub, it was my cancelled holiday/working from home with 2 kids in lockdown present to myself 🤣 plus the youngest with autism finds water calming so sometimes puts her goggles on and nose piece and goes swimming in it (she's tall for 10 so it's carnage, but better than the bath...!!!)

I'm the same @feliznavidad2 a few years ago after having my eldest (14year old) I was at my heaviest and after my 2nd I did something about it and lost over 8st! It's scary how easy it creeps back on bit by bit... I think I've gained about 4st back slowly without realising 🤦🏽‍♀️
I have used MFP to keep an eye before but I find I cheat 🤣 so it doesn't always work for me. I joined slimming world 3 weeks ago and so glad I did, lost 7.5lbs in first 2 weeks and weigh again tomorrow. I've gotten back to cooking again which I love (I got so lazy!) and actually think before I eat now whereas in lock down I was just eating for the sake and not usually good options.. I'm hoping to lose a good amount before I get pregnant to stop me piling it on again. Ideally I'm aiming to loose about 3st I think.. but I will just see how I feel as I'm going.
I used to work in a gym and train all the time but now I don't do anything since my new job 15/16 months ago! Which hasn't helped especially with lockdown.. believe it or not I'm fitness qualified 🤣 and a part qualified PT 🤦🏽‍♀️

larrythelizard · 17/06/2021 09:37

Busy day for me but thinking of all the 17th girls @Juno231 @2020mission @clolo @becarefuloutthere xxx

Hope you're feeling OK after your jab yesterday @Kirky658

Juno231 · 17/06/2021 09:42

Lol I think I've been stood up! 9.42 and still no phone call...

Kirky658 · 17/06/2021 09:44

@minster2012 yep had it yesterday my gp wanted me to go to the local clinic instead.

Good luck for today gorgeous ladies @clolo @becarefuloutthere @juno231 @2020mission

@larrythelizard feeling rough lovely to be honest. Have a headache that won't shift, keep being a bit feverish and my arm really hurts. But I'm just being a wimp!

So I posted on my insta story yesterday about having had my jab. And this asshole I used to work with messaged me saying I'd done the wrong thing, that I'd kill my unborn child or leave her with deformities and that I'm a monster!!!! WTAF!?!
