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

Catching up. Looong day at work.

Sorry to hear they were so late ringing - good news on hopefully getting the ball rolling though @Juno231 and good luck with the job

@Kirky658 - so effing unnecessary of that idiot to message you. It's such an individual decision and nobody has any right to question (let alone abuse you) over what you do or don't do 😡 especially over something so sensitive! Hope you're ok, really felt for you when I read your message.

Hope you feel better soon @blackcurrantqueen

@DKDK123 fingers tightly crossed for psychic 3 year old! My DS (4) keeps talking about a brother he apparently has who is 54 😮 which is freaky...

@2020mission glad your scan went well 😃

Job opportunity sounds very promising @bez91 - is there anything to lose in the process?

Sorry it's been a shitty one @Franklydear - do you mean hot dog hot dogs or like sausages? 🧐 either way, hope your evening improved... post hot-dog. 😛

Crikey, that's a bit of a rollercoaster in Aldi of all places @Minster2012 - great news re. Results but sorry to hear you were upset, it's horrible being put on the spot in a public place especially when about something so sensitive x

Good luck and hope AF doesn't come tomorrow @larrythelizard 🤞🏻 have a wee stirring of excitement from
me

Glad to hear you're all plated and pinned and (now) drugged up to the eyeballs @paintfairy x

No idea what's going on here, 8dpo, still spotting brown discharge - sore boobs but my gut says my womb is just being a bit of a dick. I may test on Sunday if still no proper bleeding but not holding out much hope. Bit concerned by my v v short literal phase but then am only three months off the pill I suppose. 🤷‍♀️ V sensible eating here and recorded everything on MFP which I'm pleased about. Now to maintain some dietary control over the weekend...

Franklydear · 18/06/2021 05:43

@feliznavidad2 proper hot dogs, not even frankfurters, proper, they’re gigantic
Morning all
@Dollybird89 hair and nails looking fab

Kirky658 · 18/06/2021 06:04

@feliznavidad2 thanks lovely. Every time I see a comment from you I end up singing the Christmas song, makes me smile every time 😁
@dollybird89 nails and hair look awesome, have the best weekend away!

Had the worst sleep last night, so so many weird dreams, exhausted this morning now. I would say least it's Friday but got so much to sort this weekend!

larrythelizard · 18/06/2021 06:35

OMG @paintfairy that sounds horrendous. You poor poor thing. Hoping you managed some sleep x

Maintaining dietary control at the weekend is always a challenge for me @feliznavidad2 !

Like your approach @Cheekymonkey3112, might follow your lead on that!

Make time for a nap @Kirky658?!

Hoping for AF for you @Minster2012 (or a late BFP obv...)

I'm off to the gym in a bit but have a fairly horrendous day ahead of me at work, oh well, at least it's Friday!

Minster2012 · 18/06/2021 06:58

@paintfairy just 😱😳that's all I can say, but glad you got it sorted

@Vil10 just think how hot you'll look fir the next holiday hun 😘

@feliznavidad2 here's hoping it's just a bit of settling and maybe your womb is too fluffy even so needs a bit of release 🤪

Thanks ladies, I also forgot to say I've lost my car keys. 3 year olds claims to know nothing about it! I've checked DS's play kitchen and nothing, worried they've gone in the bin ☹️no idea what I did even after coming back last time I had them 😩

@JuniperAndTonic how you feeling?

OP posts:
Minster2012 · 18/06/2021 06:59

Oooo and @larrythelizard how was the birthday party?

OP posts:
paintfairy · 18/06/2021 07:32

Got a bit of sleep, til 3am @larrythelizard the drugs made my head funny though. Dehydracodeine.
@Dollybird89 was mine! I even told him that before. He claimed it would be fine. 🙄
@Minster2012 yeah I'm glad it's bloody over. 🤣

Cheekymonkey3112 · 18/06/2021 08:14

@larrythelizard I am going to try my best haha! No doubt next month I will be on Amazon Prime at 6dpo hahaha!

AF arrived this morning so I'm on a 30 day cycle with a 11/12 day LP. Onto July, let's go 😃😬 adding in evening primrose oil and the coq10 I bought. Anything else anyone suggests?

larrythelizard · 18/06/2021 08:28

Have a fab weekend away @Dollybird89, you're looking fab x

@Minster2012 was a nice day, DS obv more excited by the cow than any of the more interesting animals...!

Now to catch up on work after a day off. And I've got the dentist 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

Vil10 · 18/06/2021 09:20

@larrythelizard isn't it annoying!! I'm walking like I've shit myself today😂

@paintfairy oh god thst sounds horrendous!!! I hope you're better this morning and those painkillers are working x

@Kirky658 I said that to OH, we might really love it! Definitely going open minded! Bad sleeps and vivid dreams are the worst!! You need a rest me thinks

@Franklydear I'm going to go with an open mind and see how I feel when we get there! Hahaha a hot dog, or any food for that matter can make a bad day good again!

@Cheekymonkey3112 sorry for bfn but it is quite early with an ic still! You're not out until af shows up!! Sorry just scrolled down and saw af is here!! What a bitch, but onto the next cycle x

@Minster2012 you're right! I have a few plans coming up too to distract from the fact I should've been in a hot country! I definitely think I'm going to leave the thrusting to OH, I can't deal with this pain😂 love the use of the word "rogering" 😂

Well I have never ached like this in my life, so so sore, also forgot I had another pt today and it's upper body, I think my arm pit hairs are a bit stubbly!! My rhr has gone so high since ov, 5dpoish I think! Got a nice bbq at my friends tomorrow for her birthday so I've been put in charge of getting the cheeses and meats, just hope the weather brightens up, it's a bit overcast here today! Hope everyone has a lovely day❤️

InkyPaper · 18/06/2021 09:26

Morning everyone! Just a quick one for cat owners: there's been a recall on certain brands of cat food www.cats.org.uk/help-and-advice/pet-food-recall

AVA and Applaws are on the list, so if you feed your cats their dry food it's worth taking a look. We feed our two Applaws but luckily Amazon was really good with refunding the whole bag.

@paintfairy I'm glad you were able to get it all sorted but that sounds like a truly horrific experience there at the end! Hope you're doing OK today ❤️

@Minster2012 aww damn, hope your keys turn up!

@bez91 if the new job would make you happier then I'd say go for it. I once stayed longer than I should in a job I loathed because I didn't want to look like I was job hopping and it damn near destroyed me (admittedly, my experience was a bit extreme, but still)

@larrythelizard hope all goes OK at the dentist!

Cheekymonkey3112 · 18/06/2021 09:28

@Vil10 thank you ❤ it was expected so not too much of a hard pill to swallow. Your weekend sounds lovely, minus the PT, I'm far to lazy for that haha!!

larrythelizard · 18/06/2021 09:29

😂😂😂 @Vil10 I know it only too well, it's when you're walking along and your legs sort of buckle that it's worse! I didn't want to go to the gym when my alarm went off, didn't feel it when I got there and didn't really enjoy the workout either but oh well, at least I've been!

When are you seeing the house? Tomorrow? 🤞🏼 @Vil10.

I'm pretty grumpy and meh about life today, I'm blaming hormones crashing ready for AF (usually happens late afternoon for me). Bit migrainey too so had ibuprofen, pasta salad and Diet Coke for breakfast!

larrythelizard · 18/06/2021 09:30

Oh and thanks @InkyPaper it's only a check up but I do hate it...was busy being a grown up when I booked myself in, wish I hadn't!

kaylsd · 18/06/2021 09:37

@paintfairy sounds like you’ve been through the mill and back with your arm bless you least you are on the road to recovery now hoping it’s a small stretch of road rather than a long one for you! Let’s hope your pain is much controlled now you’ve got the good stuff at hand for it 🤞🏻

@larrythelizard good luck for today at the dentist hopefully AF has not appeared and stays away at bay this afternoon🤞🏻🥺

@Cyclogoose eeeeeekkkkk you’ve got this girl, happy for your results from your scan so pleased for the all clear 🤩🤩🤩 sorry to hear about your shit timing in aldi on your results :( I never realised about the smear and MC, let’s hope AF comes for you, she’s a bugger for coming when it’s most inconvenient never when we want it to show!

@Juno231 let’s hope when you’ve got the process rolling for IVF funding it’s a quick transition from paperwork to consultations for your treatment! I never realised how bad the NHS waiting times are at the moment for fertility purposes I’m unsure if it’s down to COVID potential delays when clinics shut down or if it’s always been like it 🤔

I’ve been such a shit passenger on this bus ladies, hope everyone is doing okay only managed a quick scroll and a quick reply to some I don’t want to seem ignorant 🙈 stumbled across this video on TikTok... why would you wanna do that just because they are twins?! Poor lad must be running out of juice in the tank by the end of it 🤣🤣🤣

Minster2012 · 18/06/2021 11:36

@Cheekymonkey3112 that's good for a 30day cycle, I don't think high vitamin D does anything wrong 😜

@larrythelizard of course, cows are the best!

@Vil10 bonkfest too!! We need that back! It's gone a bit miserable here too but I've dog walked now got shed loads of health & safety stuff to do 🥱😴😴bbq sounds good too, love a charcuterie & cheese! We've got mates & their kids coming over for tea tomorrow, we are having a Thai takeaway the kids on junk food 😀 yes when's the house??

@kaylsd are you still waiting for af too? It was. Long cycle wasn't it? Have I missed someone or was that @cycologoose for me? Will check out the Tiktok later ☺️

So after the riveting last night where I was hoping to help AF on its way I now have NO BLOOD in CM or anything?! So there was still some brown yesterday now it's milky?? So done with this 🙄

kaylsd · 18/06/2021 11:47

@Minster2012
Eeeek sorry yes it was for you 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I was doing a long reply on another thread and got the two usernames muddled up because I'm shit at replying on a daily basis 🙈🙈🙈 I'm still in the long cycle club, CD45 and sweet AF, wish my phone would stop asking me if my period has started on Flo app... it hasn't now bugger off 🙃 I'm litterally so done with these cycles, I have so many signs I ovulate like EWCM so we baby dance the night away each and every time but never any end product! I keep googling looking into every supplement what could potentially bring my cycle back but I've tried every wonder in the book for it! Vitex, inositol, preg care, conceive plus ovulation support, wish my ovaries would behave themselves 🥺

kaylsd · 18/06/2021 11:49

@Minster2012 I've just noticed my phone autocorrect FA to AF, how ironic 🙃🤣 no AF for me!

larrythelizard · 18/06/2021 11:55

You know you'd tell me to POA(nother)S don't you @Minster2012?? Just saying...

CycloGoose · 18/06/2021 11:57

@kaylsd can't believe how many of these groups you are in! You're a legend xxx

kaylsd · 18/06/2021 11:59

@CycloGoose 😘😘😘 sharing the love as always ❤️

paintfairy · 18/06/2021 12:12

@kaylsd @InkyPaper @Vil10 so far so good!
@Dollybird89 have a fab weekend away!

Juno231 · 18/06/2021 12:38

Gah all you people talking about it being overcast @vil10 @Minster2012 - it's been chucking it down here since Wed night! I reckon the rain is so heavy my peonies might not make it through.

@paintfairy erm... the only positive thing out of that is that your pain threshold might be better now come time to give birth? Christ, was the nerve blocker thing a c*ck up on their side or just something that can happen??

@bez91 I'd go for that job if I were you! Anything to decrease stress.

@kaylsd ha yeah I don't even want to think about the fact that I went in for my first fertility related blood test in July last year so we're nearing the one year mark of NHS faffing and still got a way to go until IVF comes round.

paintfairy · 18/06/2021 12:50

@Juno231 I've no idea. The side that wore off actually didn't work the first time well and he put more in before being able to start. No idea if there wasn't enough in or I just don't block well! I'm pretty sure he shouldn't have left though until the op was over. Leaving just the assistant anaesthetist. Had it wore off sooner than it had they'd have had to whack a GA in. He snook out though and I don't know at what point. Other people seem to say it can happen though. But the anaesthetist i saw after was telling me it can't possibly have worn off and shouldn't that fast. I was wriggling my fingers like- definitely had! 🙄

The nhs fertility wait is ridiculous. I'm going to have delay the iui because I need another xray in 2 weeks. But it's going to be next year now for ivf I reckon for me? It's all dragging on. I'm not even sure i ovulated as I was due to at the time of my accident and I've still been getting cm. So I wonder if I didn't. Which delays it even more. 🙈🤣
The whole thing is just madness really. Years of faffing.
