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

🤞🏻💓😘🥳🙌🏻

Thank you everyone,

@bez91 ID'D pahhhaahaaahaa did you say thank you.

@larrythelizard you haven't got the results back?! What!??

@Somatronic so close to AF for you then? Can't advise on the pain in the leg, my whole body creaks, cracks & has aches and pains from a young age 🤣

Talking of toilet training we have decided to take DS to a petting farm, thought we'd be lovely & ask if nephews wanted to come too. Picked one up, oh yeah SIL didn't mention she's 4 days into toilet training. What??? I didn't sign up for that NOT even my own child

@Minster2012 oh dear, ds wasn’t even day dry at that age, and sil, wtf?

@Franklydear it was his choice not mine! There was A LOT of wine drunk then as after MMC too! Yup SIL didn't think to mention it (obviously great tactic) til we came to pick him up

@Minster2012 it’ll never work unless the kid is ready, sneaky sil there

@larrythelizard Sorry about the BFN

Had my hair done, it's a bit warmer toned than I want but the colour before was awful so it's a work in progress!

DH is out tonight so once I've got DS I bed I'm looking forward to a takeaway and trash tv night 🙌

Well thankfully we smashed it on auntie/uncle sneaky toilet training 🤣🙌🏻now delivered back & on to see friends & their kids with Thai takeaway at ours 💪🏻🍷

@polkadotpixie looks fab! Looking gorgeous. DS in bed already?! You win 🤪

Hair looks lovely @polkadotpixie.

Of course you smashed it @Minster2012, want to take my ratbag out and sort him out?! I'll look you up if I'm ever oop north 😉

#knickerwatch much harder when you've got a houseful. Still no AF and now got discharge again and cramps have mainly gone? Quite a decent amount of wine drunk though so a good distraction! DH will be starting Father's Day by taking DS out to let mummy get over her hangover at this rate!

Maybe worth a trip to a dr or physio @Somatronic? Sounds like you've had it a while x

@Minster2012 ah well done! But how cheeky of them. I'm joining you on the takeaway tonight and getting a chinese

@vil10 how did the stubble+pt combo go yday?

So we watched the game yesterday as well except I fell asleep at 2030... Woke up extra late today at 830 so had a pretty solid sleep (discounting the 4-5.30am where I was awake worrying about being behind at work). I'm 8dpo so reckon it's the progesterone making me extra tired (and hungry) !

@Somatronic I like football but last night was a bit drab 😆 sounds all go with tests etc for you 😊

@larrythelizard that's poor that you've not had them yet, get onto them first thing Monday. I definitely look my age, bloody jobs worth. Sounds a hangover is pending for you 😂

@Minster2012 that's a bit naughty of your SIL, glad it went well though!

@polkadotpixie hair looks lovely 😊

So I've had a thought, we're going to a wedding in a couple of weeks, small wedding, DD is bridesmaid but with restrictions like what's the craic with that, I've read table service for everything, obvs face masks, no dancing 🙄. Just a bit gutted I can't even dance to the bar half cut, it's going to be quite dull 🙈

@Juno231 your sleep last night sounds like my ideal night (other than the being awake worrying about work!!)

I feel sorry for anyone getting married at the moment @bez91. If it were me I think I'd have snuck off and got married and had the big shebang when I could do it properly. Still time to avert the hangover with lots of water but I think I'd prefer wine 😬. Will look tomorrow if I can do an online request for an appt on Tuesday (flat out at work on Monday!)

@Juno231 confucio for you, if you have a problem and you know the solution, you just have something to do, if you have a problem and there is no solution, why you worry? (disclaimer: i do worry about things I shouldn't)
Catholic joke if the day: when I get in a pickle, I'll do the same as Jesus Christ, I'll disappeared for 3 days

@notyetamumbuttrying huge congratulations!!! 😁😁

The TWW has officially begun for me. I hate the waiting. 🤞🤞🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ Keeping everything crossed!! I ovulated a day later than usual (CD15) which I think is down to the vitamins I've been taking. Going to start taking more vitamin C from tomorrow as I'm sure I ovulated yesterday. Hoping it'll help lengthen my Luteal Phase as last month it was 11 days.

@bez91 @larrythelizard I agree on the wedding thing, we've said if we were engaged atm then we'd just take the smaller wedding & less hassle Cos of Covid then have a party later. Think how much you'd save but be like "errr Covid meant you weren't invited! If it was down to me 🤣🤪" @larrythelizard joining me in Yorkshire right at the time of toilet training?! Hmmmm suspicious 😜

@KiwiTTC1st welcome to TWW! The boring bit def

@Juno231 didn't you say you might test for fathers day though? Just sayin. But I mean most ppl would've fallen asleep at the football 🤣

@Franklydear love that

So friends just gone, was lovely. Told them bout mc & everything as they asked bout how things ivf etc were going. Was good, & actually found it ok to talk about.

However I'm now in bad books AGAIN as DH just gone to log onto remote system to do bonuses in advance of Monday & after my computer problems on Friday it's not working. I had to reset it all then get the IT consultants to remotely reinstall our WFH system. Which it did, at 5pm when i tested it. He's on a big shooting day tomorrow & out in the evening, now he has to go to work at 5.30 Monday morning to sort out bonuses. Eek. He's literally nearly thrown the Laptop at the floor. It's not my fault, and he's not actually angry at me, it's just the frustration of "technology never f ing working"

Oh but he just asked me if my period arrived. Nope, welcome to my world of similar frustration love. 😩

@bez91 I’m with you on the ID- I got Id’d for antacids a few weeks ago 😂 on the wedding note, my bf got married 2 weeks ago and I was a bridesmaid, it was a really lovely day! It was all masks inside the church and inside the venue when walking around but masks could come off when sat at tables. Was a bit weird for the first dance as no one could join them so everyone was just staring at the bride and groom. Had fun with the people on our table(other bridesmaids and partners). Did help that weather was amazing and we could spend time outside. No masks needed for photos as we were outside

@Juno231 congrats on the job offer!

@paintfairy you poor thing with your arm! Sounds horrendous. Dihydrocodeine is good at least!

Felt weird and crampy the last day or so(not as bad as AF) and had the tiniest amount of spotting this morning. CD26 and 8DPO so earlier than my period should be(unless the vaccine has messed it up) and I don’t normally spot before a period. Weird.

Apparently my SIL is pregnant again, we have been told today. I love my in laws a lot but it’s hard news to hear- they all seem super fertile haha which is rubbish for me!

Back to work on Monday which will make me knackered I am sure, but also quite looking forward to getting back into it. Kittens will keep me company

Hope you have a good Sunday!

@billythecat oh hun sorry about your SIL that sucks. How are you doing with your lap recovery, all OK now?

Booked to go swimming at 10am why I do this to myself I don't know, could do with a week in bed tbh 🤣 got to make a cake for DH's birthday later too!

@Juno231 hahaha I definitely was thinking too much into it, it actually wasn't that bad, my pt trained with me so it's not like he was just standing there and could see it😂

@bez91 I mentioned to OH that he must have a lot of liquids because I had lake spermo really bad, like loads😂 and he said "I'm just trying to fill you up", I told him I wasn't in my fertile week but said my period was due on his birthday and maybe I could be giving him an extra present and he went "ohhh imagine" with the biggest smile on his face ever, melted my heart! Yeah that's the deal with weddings at the mo! Our friends have rearranged theirs so many times because of the restrictions, it's so unfair on them!

@Minster2012 glad you had a lovely night, and I bet you feel better for telling them about the mc, it must've been so tough!! Technology is an absolute wank stain I feel ya on that one!!

@Billythecat 🤞🏼 it's implantation!! Sorry about the SIL news, same over here with my family, all seem super super fertile, even my mum, but to be fair my aunty had to have ivf something they new was wrong with her, can't remember what exactly but they had the money to pay to go private and it was all a very quick process and she ended up with twins, boy and girl which is lovely, but everyone else in the family looks at their OH's and fall pregnant!!

@Kirky658 oooo what cake you doing??

Sorry I didn't catch up earlier ladies and update on the house, so we love the inside, nothing I'd change other than a lick of paint, it's a lot bigger than I expected it to be (lots of room for those 3 babies), the features and character of the place is everything, but, it's a 120 year old "villa end terrace" style house which means not much garden and with 2 energetic dogs and baby planning, and a couple who love sitting in the garden, I'm just not sure, it isn't the area we were wanting to move to even though it is lovely, and yesterday was their first day of viewings and they've already had an offer 10k over asking price, I really do love the inside but I thought if I moved there it's all well and good loving the house but I know I'd miss my big garden, and I think to put all this money into a house you have to be 200% sure and not be indecisive on anything, so unfortunately not the one for us!!

However I had a lovely day and night last night with my friends, made lovely cocktails and ate wayyyy too much food, my stomach is hating on me this morning but I had a nice night! Hope everyone has a lovely Sunday❤️

Yeah in my experience of house hunting @Vil10 you know when it's the one. Something will come up for sure.

This thread has that many super fertile SILs that it's a contender for the next title 🤣

Sounds good to tell friends what's going on @Minster2012 and have them for support, particularly if your DH is going to through a paddy at tech and not be particularly supportive this weekend.

I tested again today, still BFN (even tried @Tornado2Inc method of adjusting lighting etc but nope!), still no AF. 3 days late. Going to try and wait until Thursday I think to be a week late (assuming no AF in the meantime). Almost got a bit excited when I felt nauseous but then remembered yesterday's wine! Really think this is Pfizer's fault!

@vil10 omg I'm dying 😂 when you said about the extra present on his birthday and that you'd be due AF my mind went straight to anal 🤣. Then his sweet response made me re-read it as I thought maybe it was a tad emotional for chocolate starfishing.

Shame about the garden - how small is small? As a londoner I'm used to feck all garden wise 😭

BFN for me of course! No fathers day surprises here.

🤣🤣🤣 @Juno231

@larrythelizard my ears are burning 😂 Sorry for the BFN. But 3 days late? 🤔🤞

@Vil10 @Juno231 Hahahahahahahaha, my mind went straight to anal as well 🤣🤣🤣

Think we all shag too much here, it does things to you 😂

Right, time to catch up!

Yeah @Tornado2Inc 3 days late and not even a hint of a line. Assuming Pfizer fuckery now but hate this limbo land!!

Wasn't able to get on MN at all yesterday! Did anyone else have the same? Hope you're all ok. Happy shagging🍆

@larrythelizard have you tried evening wee-wee? In my case, it showed DAYS before I got anything with FMU.

@vil10 you'll definitely know when the house is the one, don't give up! I'm making him a salted caramel drip cake, pics to follow later 😘
