Is that Greek yoghurt CM in your pants🩲 or are you just pleased to see me? Knickerwatching TTC bus 43

[Minster2012]

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

Yay got my new minion badge 🥳 The actual amount isn't that impressive I've walked that amount plenty of times before but today I've just been absolutely gubbed and really had to push myself to keep going. I've eaten so much fruit this evening to try give me a sugar boost that I'm pretty sure I'll be shitting through the eye of a needle tomorrow 🙈😂

@kaylsd love the pic, I think you should get it put onto a pair of pants 🤣

@Sausage1990 you know you never have to apologise for dipping in and out, every single person here understands and really wishes that you weren't having to go through it. I know its not to everyone's taste but if you think a wee token item to remember your girl would help there's a lady on etsy does little pregnancy loss tokens like little hearts with verses. She also does ones with the little beans from 3weeks onwards, again it's not to everyone's taste so I won't post a photo incase it upsets you but thought I'd tell you about it just incase it's something you think would give you a bit of comfort. It's alwayswithyoultd on etsy that does them. Sending the biggest virtual hugs ever.

@Juno231 congratulations on the job offer 👏🥳 If you really want it then what about saying to them the offer is a bit lower than I was expecting but I also understand I'm an unknown to you at the moment. I'll accept the offer on the condition I rise to £x in 6months which is still 5% lower than my original asking wage and £y in a years time which is 2% lower. I feel this timescale will give ample time to show you what an asset I am to your team and a fair compromise for both parties.

Any joy on the key hunt yet @minster2012? 🤔

@Minster2012 @DKDK123
maybe we could be on the next dragons den? Watch this space 🤣🤣 have a lovely evening ladies ❤️

@DKDK123 well done on meeting your step goals, total motivation goals right there!

Got my breakfast smoothie fruit infested gin watching this bore of a football match right now, was more annoyed at husband locking dog out in garden for 30 mins in the rain and didn't realise as he took the empty cans to the bin -.- poor little love, gave her a guilty treat for being a bad dog parent not realising she was behind him! Over and out for me ladies tonight, have a blast ❤️💖🍷

@kaylsd no, i think I have to jump through the iui hoops. Which is annoying as I can't see it working.
@Kirky658 hilarious about the aibu - what on earth world they be doing that for?! Random.

Morning!

@larrythelizard Keeping my fingers crossed for you with this morning's test 🤞🤞🤞

@DKDK123 What is this app? I'm so unfit and really need to be more active. DH thinks I should start running but I genuinely think I might die! I could definitely up my step count though because I work in an office and drive everywhere 🙈

@paintfairy Hope you're feeling a bit better, your surgery experience sounds horrific!

FF has given me crosshairs but my chart is UGLY this month 😩 Not very hopeful despite the DTD marathon effort but getting my hair done today for the first time since October and my boss has asked me to apply for a big promotion so trying to keep looking at the positives and not obsess too much this time round like I was when TTC DS

@2020mission haha you're right, I think we just talk about it like it's normal now😂

@bez91 ahhh cycle buddies!! I love having a cycle buddy! Very strange?? When's af due for you?

@feliznavidad2 hahaha it was a saying from a a few buses ago, I've been here too long😂 urghhh sorry you think af is starting, when did you come off contraception? My body took a few months to settle, I even had 2 periods in one month, I came off the pill in February and had a normal cycle by may!

@larrythelizard crossing everything for you this morning🤞🏼

@polkadotpixie sorry you feel like that, that's why I don't temp and use charts because I think I'd get too obsessed, I'm bad enough with my rhr! Amazing news on maybe going for a promotion and it's always a winner getting your hair done!

OH came in from the pub last night (early too may I add) and obviously he was a bit drunk, and we had amazing sex, steamy hot sex, it was like I was drunk too😂 however, extreme case of lake spermo!!

@vil10 yayyyy to the 🍆🍆🍆 spontaneous sex is the best!

It always makes me feel more normal that some of you are up so early on a weekend 🤣 last night I had 3am wake up call from the dog needing to do his business - I'd given him his flea treatment and it always knocks him up a bit. Then again at 7am to go for a wee. Now he's jumping all over us in bed.

I've told DH we need a maccies breakfast as it's his birthday weekend (he's 30 on Monday) but he's not having any so far. Meanie.

@kaylsd your poor pooch 🐶 not half as glamorous as you, we didn't have much in so literally a couple of DHs beers. Think you're onto something with the merch!

@polkadotpixie another possible new job girl, must be something in the air 😊 enjoy pampering of having your hair done

@Vil10 yesss to good sex 🥳 🍆
AF due about 3rd July. I won't test this month. When's AF for you?

Morning all, I think my fog is lifting

Morning all. Still no AF but a very very stark white BFN, assume covid jab fuckery as AF is late now whichever way you count it. Don't like this limbo land!

Sounds a lovely evening @Vil10 😉 good luck with the house viewing today.

I've been up since 6.30 with DS @Kirky658 and he was shouting (in his sleep) at 3 so sounds like we had a similar night!

Pleased you're on the way out of the fog @Franklydear x

Ahh @larrythelizard sorry about the BFN ☹️ had a good feeling for you, sending hugs 💕

Oh yes forgot about the house today @Vil10 hope it's what you're expecting!

Good to hear you're in a better place @Franklydear 💪🏼

@polkadotpixie ooo for aborted potential promotion this bus is the promo bus!! And give us a shot of your hair when you are done 🥰

@larrythelizard that sucks about BFN, let's blame mr Covid Jab def screaming up cycles again 😞

@Vil10 booooooommmmm to the drunkie steamy sex!!! Yessss really hope the house is good 🤞🏻

@Franklydear pleased you are on the way up

We too had a late (early?) wake up at just after midnight (when you are fully in lovely deep sleep mode!) by DS shouting he needed a poo, but he'd already done it, then he's been starting to say he doesn't want a nappy at night so he then refused to put a nappy on. Cue wet through bed & boy this morning 🙄

@Kirky658 did you end up getting McDonald's breakfast?? I used to love the bagels!!

@bez91 here's to not testing!! Flo has me at the 28th which will give me back my 28-30 day cycles, but the 28th is OH's birthday😂 so I'm secretly hoping I get to give him an extra present🤞🏼Thankyou I'll let you all know!

@larrythelizard Thankyou!! So sorry for a bfn, it's so cruel when you're late, it's like af is teasing you!!

@Minster2012 im really excited to see it, I hope it's as nice as I'm imaging, sounds like a rough night with poo and then waking up to wee😂 wine tonight??

@larrythelizard sorry about the BFN :( let’s hope the cycle can come back into some normality, heard so many people complain it delay things with the vaccine!

@franklydear pleased to hear that the fog is lifting and your in a better place ❤️

@bez91 thank you chick about mable! She’s my little furry lion cub, don’t feel particularly glam this morning with my bed head hair but I best get my glad bags on for going out with some of the girls for day drinks this afternoon 🥰💁🏼‍♀️ the merch could be sponsored by MN and everything 🤣😘

@paintfairy that sucks to hear I didn’t realise some are wanting stuff even if you feel like it’s a loss for you :( let’s hope you can get back on track shortly for it and have a little hope in IUI working for you 🤞🏻😘

@DKDK123 I’ll brave getting it on some socks if I need interventions like IUI/IVF to give the nurses a giggle but not too sure which treatment path they’ll think I’ll be suited for until next months first appointment where no doubt they’ll want more testing.. I’ll bare it in mind though ;)

@minster2012 ah not the best night for you then hunny or the best wake up call for you this morning, plenty of wine for you tonight maybe?

I had BIL over last night for the match (which may I add was 90 mins I’ll never get back... so boring 🥱) and he was complaining that sex isn’t the same with condoms (he has a 6 week old beautiful girl, absolutely love her to bits) but doesn’t want his partner on contraception as they’ll be trying for their second child next year.. is it wrong for me to be abit envious of those discussions to say me and hub who is his twin brother are both male and female infertility and struggling to get a sniff of a BFP 🥺 found it hard to take in but I smiled and put on a good front on as always...

on that note I best start getting ready for a girly day session with two of my friends put my pulling pants on and get glammed up as I have major bed hair right now and have zero motivation to change this anytime soon💁🏼‍♀️🤩🤷‍♀️ have a lovely Saturday ladies! May be quiet today as there’s a strong chance I’ll be tippled by the end of today 🙊🍷🍷

@vil10 we did get a mcdonald's brekkie, I won 🤣 I had double bacon and egg Muffin meal, and I was good and had a fruit bag too ( for the baby lol). Ps good luck on the viewing today hope it goes well 😘

@franklydear glad you're feeling a bit lighter ❤️

@minster2012 oh dear, off to the ttc pub again, tough night all round @larrythelizard you coming too?

Yes please @Kirky658!

It's so annoying I've literally never been late (unless you count the twice ive been pregnant but I tested before AF was due!)

🤯🤯🤯

Guess I'll continue testing until AF shows up?! Need to chase blood test results so will ask them when I hopefully speak to them next week!

@larrythelizard sorry about the bfn and no af, so frustrating. My cycle is irregular so harder to tell but reckon af was appox 4 days late after my jab. Longest cycle I'd had in nearly a year.

@larrythelizard sorry about the bfn and no af, so frustrating. My cycle is irregular so harder to tell but reckon af was appox 4 days late after my jab. Longest cycle I'd had in nearly a year.

Ok that's good to know @Katao, takes me to Monday. I think with DS it took me until 13 DPO to get a BFP and I'm 11/12ish.

Back on #knickerwatch!

💪🏻 Knicker watch! Also took me until 13dpo to get a BFP with DS1. Good luck @larrythelizard x

@Vil10 oh that would be lovely for a birthday gift 🤞🏼

@kaylsd sounds good, I'm meeting a friend for lunch, sadly no alcohol. It could be sponsored by MN but with the amount of super fertile people too who don't know which one is the dad they could also sponsor condoms I think 😆 sorry at your BILs insensitivity, does he know you're trying?

@Minster2012 oh no 🙈 knicker watch for your DS too, potty training is tough.

@larrythelizard argggh get you, hate being in limbo like that wishing AF on 💕 how long you been waiting on bloods for? My GP practise isn't great but they have all results online which is good.

Just been to Tesco for Father's Day bits, bought red wine for my dad. Went to self serve, got ID'd, refused to serve me, walk of shame back to the car to get ID 🤦🏼‍♀️ only 12 years legal.

Oh god I'm dreading potty training @Minster2012! What a wake up call?

Am I the only one who enjoyed last night's match? Haha. I've been watching most of them. I love the Euros.

No news here. Waiting for AF which is due on Tuesday. Am having the hycosy done the following Tuesday hopefully and still awaiting blood results from last Monday to see if I ovulate. Have to get day 3 bloods too if I can get the time off work next week and I go back to the fertility clinic in August.

Have had strange pains in my right leg for 2 weeks now so not sure what that's about. Might take it easy today and rest the leg. It started in the upper front thigh but yesterday I had issues around the knee.

Is this the start of old age? Booo.

@larrythelizard @bez91
Yeah potty training was tough last year as DS the stubborn decided to go fir it at 18 months old by squatting over the dog bowl, then grabbing his kitchen sink out of his toy kitchen & weeing in it then going in the potty once all in one day last year, but as he was young & strong willed it took a good couple of months of battle of the wills with me in lockdown 🤣so He's toilet trained during the days but not night time, he's 3 at the end of July so we were thinking in the new house would be better over carpets we are gonna rip up rather than a house we are selling 🤣😳

@kaylsd that's really tough with the twin brother & id have probably said something tbh 🤣def get MN to sponsor our body is a fuckboy merch 🥳enjoy the day!

@Vil10 🤞🏻it's nice!

@Kirky658 we have friends & their kids over tonight for takeaway so we are having TTC pub in our house!

Just done my workouts for today 💪🏻if anyone wants a good one the EMKFIT hot clown summer is good then did a Resistance band one

I can see next door got their message cocker puppy yesterday so we might try to get puppy snuggles 🤞🏻🙌🏻

Just need to try and forget about it really and wait it out I guess @bez91. Day 21 bloods are pretty much 2 weeks ago, not suprised I'm having to chase up the results really.

I'd be chuffed if I got IDed, no chance of that for me!!
