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

🤞🏻💓😘🥳🙌🏻

@KiwiTTC1st thanks for the congrats! Best of luck in the tww, hope that bfp is looming!!
@Minster2012 argh technology is a bitch when it just won't work! Poor dh!
@Vil10 thanks for the house update, I'm glad you're sorted in your thinking. Sometimes you have to do these sort of things to rule out what you won't compromise on, it's good to be sure. The forever home is round the corner now! Glad you had a good night 😘
@Kirky658 happy bday to your Dh, what cake did you make?
@larrythelizard sorry for the bfn and lack of AF, how bloody frustrating 😣probably was the jab, so many women report about messed up cycles! (And I'm glad you know who I am 😜)
@Juno231 haha Juno, mind in the gutter 🤪
Sorry about AF honey, hope you're alright.
@Franklydear it's me, hi 👋🏾
@bez91 I'm gonna post this then I'm gonna be bk to read that thread, sounds juicy!! 😜
@Manifestingbaby hi katao 😉
@Justanothercyster I remember when you changed alongside sarahttc and I was so confused as to which one was which!!
@paintfairy so sorry for your loss, be kind to yourself today ♥️♥️
@Minster2012 I'm gonna read that article in a bit too. I've heard so many coil horror stories so I'm put off for life! I doubt I'll need contraception again tho, with my shitty amh!

@becarefuloutthere aw thanks hun, it's his birthday tomorrow so making ahead of time, it's a salted caramel drip cake! Pics to follow

@Kirky658 sounds bloody delish!! I'm sure he'll love it 😍

Anyone got any nice veggie recipes I can use this week? Points for something I can hold off the carbs for me and if it uses things up in my cupboard for moving (black beans, red lentils, chopped tomatoes, creamed coconut, capers, hoisin, all manner of sauces & pastes that you use once 🙄)

Not cauught up.
Lol just saw your post....I changed name and posted from browser but when went back to the app it used the old name 🤦‍♀️ just yo confuse people more!

And should have tagged @Minster2012 above

@Manifestingbaby I was confused you went back to your old name. 🤣 Love technology.

Thanks everyone. I think I thought I was ok, but then it just hit me this morning. I've been watching rubbish on TV to distract myself. MAFS season 4. 🤣

@polkadotpixie it's the Fitbit app. If you have or ever get a fitbit watch pm me your username and I'll add you to the challenges we do with @Juno231 @Dollybird89 @paintfairy & @Vil10. I find knowing I'm in a challenge even if I know I'm not going to come first that week it still keeps me accountable and keeps me moving so it's definitely good motivation for me.

@vil10 can't beat a bit of steamy hot sex, go you! 😉

Glad to hear you're starting to feel better @Franklydear

@Minster2012 Eek to the wet/pooscapades. Do you think his body's ready at night yet? DS kept saying he didn't want to wear a nappy to bed so we tried him without for a week, limited drinks before bed, toilet before bed, woke him for the toilet before we went to bed and he was still soaking come the morning most mornings. I eneded up putting him back in bedtime nappies, felt bad because mentally he wanted to do it but physically his body just wasn't ready. I've noticed his nappies have started to get drier in the mornings so may attempt again soon. Sneaky, sneaky of SIL but glad to hear you managed the trip successfully!

Lovely hair @polkadotpixie 😍

@bez91 I went to a wedding recently. It definitely was different but still nice all the same. Think of it more of just going out for a nice meal and bumping into people you know rather than compare it in your head to a drunkenly dancing on the tables style wedding and you won't be disappointed 😂

@larrythelizard sorry to hear you're still stuck in limbo covid jag has a lot to answer for messing with cycles as if ttc wasn't hard enough! 🙄

@juno231 I laughed so much at your response to @Vil10 🤣🤣🤣

@kaylsd hooray for the free drinks, you have good friends I dread to think what mine would send 😂 🍸

@paintfairy big hugs today xx

Was debating whether to post as I sound so ungrateful when everyone's chasing those 2 lines, but I think I got them again and my heart just sank. I'm not even 100% convinced as logically it was too early only 6dpo, (poss. 7 as temp didn't rise till 3 days after peak when usually it rises on 1or 2) yesterday and as I was visiting my friend for drinks I did a dutiful poas before drinking knowing nothing would come up that early anyways. It was just an IC but I thought I could see a squinter and convinced myself being so early I was wrong (although with DS I had a bfp at only 7/8dpo so I know its not impossible and I have been feeling stupidly tired the past few days which would tie in). Convinced myself I just had line eyes or it was an indent and had some drinks with my friend but barely drank as I started to feel really guilty thinking what if I was wrong about the test. Did a FRER this morn and there is most definitely a faint line there and it came up in the time frame tho it's so faint I can't confidently say whether it's pink or grey. I keep telling myself it's just an indent or evap line but realistically what are the chances of 2 different brands of tests both showing a faint line? 🤔 I couldn't even tell DH as it wouldn't be a happy father's day pressy as we both know the likelihood is another CP so it wouldn't be a happy time. I feel really ungrateful but my head's mush as I really wish I just hadn't tested and I really wish there wasn't 2 lines. We deliberately avoided sex during FW this month as I couldn't cope with another CP when my head was still recovering from the last one and a lot of my CPs have been 2in a row back to back cycles so knew there was a high chance of another one this cycle. Damn that one make up sex sesh during FW 😭 Sorry if I sound really ungrateful when I know some people have never had 2 lines yet and some were really hoping to present their OH with 2 lines for fathers day and didn't get them, but my head's just mush at the moment and needed to vent somewhere. I don't even think I can bring myself to test again in a few days to see it it gets darker, I think I just need to wait it out for a late AF or an on time AF and hope I'm wrong and it was just evap/indent lines on both. I really never thought on the ttc journey I would be wishing I didn't have poss 2 lines this journey is a headfuck indeed 😣

@DKDK123 of course you don't sound ungrateful silly! I'm sorry it's messing with your head, I'm just clinging on to the hope that this time it's bound to be a sticky one xxx

@Manifestingbaby aah I loved your old name! I'm still getting used to @becarefuloutthere and @Justanothercyster lol

@paintfairy what a shit time for you, take good care of yourself and enjoy MAFS ❤️

@Minster2012 loved the article although I went a bit cross eyed reading it and it's so true! Although I didn't feel a thing during that part of the HSG so do wonder if it's highly individual? Like when some women faint from the pain of pap smears 🤔

Sorry if I missed replying to anyone, I don't mean to!

Not ungrateful @DKDK123, we get it. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 so tight for a sticky one x

Tried afternoon piss @Tornado2Inc and nothing. I will now not be thinking/talking about this until next Thursday earliest. Feel free to give me a slap if I'm caught!

Although my right boob is definitely feeling tender 🤔

Right I have stopped now!!!

@DKDK123 I don't think that's ungrateful. 2 lines that never amount to anything is no better than 1 line! In fact, it's possibly worse. Because you just can never be reassured by it. Hugs x

@clolo yeah day 8 I think is much better, they know what they are doing don't worry! Every time I've tried to cook a lentil curry it's gone all mushy 😡& ive ended up actually throwing it out 😳love how you can just throw it together

@Manifestingbaby bloody technology 🤣

@paintfairy oooo you need to watch the first ever USA MAFS. Brilliant ☺️

@DKDK123 I don't think DS is ready no, he's just stubborn but the nappies have been nearly dry but def not dry so we wanted to leave it which we will (DEFINITELY til in bed house where we will then be changing carpets in the future 🤣not on the ones we are selling!). I hope these lines are sticky for you & that you can hold out not POAS but it sounds like if you would be guilty drinking & so don't want to them I think the likelihood of you POAS is high, unless you just don't drink to not think about it? Is that possible? But we are here to support each other so we'll try to help lovely

@Juno231 I did go back and look at it again& realise it was pretty hard to read so here's better in case anyone else wants to read it. Maybe it is different for everyone I guess like most things are! Are you gonna ask for more money tomorrow?

@larrythelizard my SIL didn't get a BFP until 2days after AF due on her current one though the possibility of the jab messing it up is high 🙄

I've got cramping again today, and twinges top of my right leg. Wonder if AF might be appearing but then why would there be a faint line on the OPK this morning??

I haven't been able to do anymore today as been with MIL/SIL but anyone any thoughts?
The last test? All of those are from this cycle

@dkdk123 oh lovely, just want to give you a huge hug. Hopefully this time it's your good luck charm xx

Here is my finished cake after much ado. Much blood, sweat and literal tears. I cried hysterically because after taking this photo all the buttercream piping slid off the side 😭

@Minster2012 yes tomorrow! I'll clarify the pension and bonus first then go for it. What about a veggie feijoada? www.thefieryvegetarian.com/brazilian-black-beans-feijoada/

Is it feasible that the spotting you had was AF and this is the next cycle @Minster2012? Can't remember when you said you had spotting?

Looks LUSH @Kirky658 have you got plans for the big day?

Whoop @Juno231 look forward to hearing the deed is done!!

@larrythelizard thanks babe! I've calmed down a bit now, sodding hormones 😂 we are both working tomorrow so just going for a meal after work. Going to get up early and make him brekkie in bed. For his birthday last year we had to both self isolate as I was heading in for my endometriosis surgery 3 days later so want to make it so special this time xx

Sounds a nice day @Kirky658! Bloody hormones eh?!

Technology indeed!

@Minster2012 i was going to say same as @clolo can't go wrong with a curry.
@Juno231 😘
@DKDK123 i think under the circumstances no one is going to judge you as ungrateful. We know what you have been through. You feelings are totally valid. I'm sorry you have another scary wsit ahead and hope we can help you through x

@Juno231 just seen we're full on the donkey thread, been out at my folks for Father's Day wkend so not logged on much. Did you or anyone set up a new thread? Happy for you to take over if you want?!
@Kirky658 cake looks epic well done 👏🏾 tomorrow sounds like it'll be a nice day!
@DKDK123 absolutely fine to post, and what a headfuck for you, suppose all you can do now is wait and hope 🙏🏾

@DKDK123 that is true, will think of it as a sophisticated party instead 😆
I get it, you shouldn't feel ungrateful at all. As much as I'm chasing those 2 lines too, the thought of getting another BFP also fills me with absolute dread in a really weird way. Don't feel guilty for how you feel ever 💕 maybe you should tell DH though, so he can support you xx

@DKDK123 I understand how you feel, only thing you can do is wait, here with you, one way or another

@DKDK123 @Minster2012 @larrythelizard
thank you ladies my friends did me well for the freebies, 3 pitches 2 gins and a bottle of Prosecco which I couldn’t finished to stashed it in my bag to walk out with like the classy girl I am 🙃 clearly regretting all my drinking decisions from yesterday though felt minging all day!!!!! 😖

As for my BIL I didn’t really go into much yesterday as I was out but I did have words with him in the past for the same insensitive comments as they know our difficulties with TTC.. he’s apologised this morning and asked me and my hub to be our nieces godparents this morning, my BIL is not the main culprit of insensitivity sadly my MIL is the worst 😳 she’s said stuff like there’s nothing wrong with me, we’re trying too hard, every one on her street has a new born baby the whole full house really, I keep her at arms length best ways I can 👋

Sorry I've not replied individually I've been dying in bed most of the day feeling sorry for myself as I hate Father's Day as it is as my dad died over 13 years ago and each time it comes round it doesn't get much easier with it.. I'm also going to check out after this one because the phone light burns my eyes I'm so pathetic when it comes to hangovers 🤣🤣 hope your okay ladies, sending hugs to you all ❤️
