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
& minstermusings on insta - some of our ladies have made special anonymous accounts so we can link up via me 🥰
If you want to sign up & get updates please do, please note your username if you comment shows up to others so maybe make it anonymous I won’t be offended 😂🤣(unless you are mean)

Story so far...

June 24 BFPs
July 11 BFPs

Sep 4 BFPs
Oct 7 BFPs
Nov 7 BFPs
Dec 14 BFPs

@Cheekymonkey3112 hello and welcome, I'm sorry to hear about your previous MC. x

Also have a DC who is 4. What an age, eh? 😮

paintfairy · 15/06/2021 09:14

@feliznavidad2 they just said paracetamol and ibuprofen. I'm at the hospital again today so I'm going to complain. 🤣

feliznavidad2 · 15/06/2021 09:15

@paintfairy yes, please do! Good luck for hospital. 👍🏻

Kirky658 · 15/06/2021 09:16

@notyetamumbuttrying YES YES YES!!!!!!!! Congratulations gorgeous, fantastic news and so well deserved. Hope you and DH are over the moon ❤️❤️❤️😘😘

@minster2012 thanks for the new bus I see we are in trouble already 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Catherinettc · 15/06/2021 09:24

@notyetamumbuttrying omg!!! So happy for you! Love it when an og gets a bfp ❤ (poet incoming 🤦‍♀️🤣) massive congratulations xxxx

Juno231 · 15/06/2021 09:25

@paintfairy definitely bring it up at the hospital, not all pain is equal and they might just be underestimating yours. I'm really sorry you're going through this though, wish I was there to help!

@notyetamumbuttrying I've said it elsewhere but I'm so so so darn happy for you!

@Minster2012 thank you for the new bus! Amazing job as always xx

@OMalleyTheAlleyKit more need than your comment. now please move on

@Cheekymonkey3112 welcome to the bus! sorry to hear about your MCs, and here's to hoping you won't be looking at any more bfns

I was out until 1am at a fancy pants private members club in Mayfair last night so am feeling rather tired today. Can't be bothered with work as per usual and still need to prep for my 1pm interview!

Vil10 · 15/06/2021 09:27

@notyetamumbuttrying OMG!!! Yesssss I knew it!!!! Congratulations lovely!!! I'm so so so happy for you!!🥳🥳❤️

@OMalleyTheAlleyKit bye

@Cheekymonkey3112 welcome!! So sorry about your MC's, I hope this is a short bus journey for you x

@Juno231 oooo check you out fancy pants!!

2020mission · 15/06/2021 09:35

So happy to see @notyetamumbuttrying join the bump list this morning! 😃 Hopefully more coming soon 🤞

Minster2012 · 15/06/2021 09:38

Welcome @Cheekymonkey3112 and sorry for your losses, we all know it's a frustrating & difficult time TTC here so you are in good company. Do you have an embarrassing story for your ticket?! 😘

@kaylsd heyyyyyyy I've got a lovely flip out bus pass wallet here you can have but it's only on loan I don't want you to have it long term

@Juno231 get you with your fancy pants club!! The night before your interview!! What a rebel! Get on some food in to get over the drink (if any) have a nap and get swotting!!

@feliznavidad2 any more symptom sirens?!

@OMalleyTheAlleyKit Cos posting on here is THE BEST idea to not get a hugeeeeee lot of notifications from us telling you the SAGA bus tour is the bus incoming after ours darling. I think you just wanted to join us for the craic 🤪

notyetamumbuttrying · 15/06/2021 09:45

Thanks everyone! Means so much to hear you all so pleased for me.
@paintfairy yeah nhs ivf. Ah so sorry you're in pain! Are you allowed co codomal?

Cheekymonkey3112 · 15/06/2021 09:55

@kaylsd I think I'm going to have to bin the tests and not take any next month until AF is late. Its horrible. Yeh I was, I got a few blood tests which all came back clear but I fell pregnant with my DC who stuck around so no further investigations were done. As far as I'm aware, I'd need to have another 3 recurrent MC for it to be investigated further but this wouldn't happen anyway as I've already got a child. 🤷‍♀️

@feliznavidad2 gosh! Tell me about it. Little people with BIG emotions at the moment 🤯 and constantly asking for a sibling which is lovely 🙃🙃🙃

feliznavidad2 · 15/06/2021 10:10

Ahh that's hard @Cheekymonkey3112 Thanks

Mine is very noisy, but occasionally quite sweet - if a little patronising, he rubs my face and tells me I'm a good girl and a nice lady 😆 Don't know whether he gets it from as OH would get told if he tried to pull that kind of move. 🙄

Is yours starting school this year? Mine is, not sure where the years have gone. I probably still baby him too much if truth be told.

larrythelizard · 15/06/2021 10:10

@Juno231 oh what different lives we lead...😂😂😂 (sounds absolutely fabulous and I'm insanely jealous!!)

@paintfairy deffo complain, maybe they've set the angle of your cast a bit off or something.

@Minster2012 soooooo relaxed....

@Cheekymonkey3112 welcome, hope your get your BFP soon. We're always hoping for a one stop passenger. Price for joining the bus is an embarrassing story though...

Juno231 · 15/06/2021 10:24

@Minster2012 ha tbf I'm just tired and not hanging! So will be fine :)

@larrythelizard ah it was lovely to be out and there were 12 of us in total so quite a merry evening. Not sure a three course meal was in line with my weight loss plans though!

the OMalley douche commented on other threads as well moaning about the titles... @OMalleyTheAlleyKit someone clearly has nothing better to do!

Minster2012 · 15/06/2021 10:26

@larrythelizard I thought that bout @Juno231, my Monday evening in front of the tv isn't quite as glamorous but we love 'er right?!

That's frustrating on the no more investigations unless 3 more @Cheekymonkey3112 feels pretty heartless 😔

Seems like AF incoming, wiping Brown each time I go to the loo (twelfty million times already!) and cramping so expecting by the end of the day

OP posts:
larrythelizard · 15/06/2021 10:30

Ah that's a shitter if it is AF @Minster2012 but silver lining is that cycle back to normal.

Sounds lush @Juno231 I haven't been out anywhere other than the small town I live in in a very long time...!

Juno231 · 15/06/2021 10:33

@minster2012 nooo that's rubbish :( At least the cycle hasn't been crazy long? and it could still mean good things! If AF does show, what's the plan for next cycle? Carrying on naturally or with IVF?

kaylsd · 15/06/2021 10:57

@Cheekymonkey3112 sending lots of love, I find it easier to wait until I'm a couple of days late before testing as there's been many of times I've had a little sob about the situation, let's hope your bus ride is a short one with us all 💖

@Minster2012 thank you for the flippy wallet least my ticket can't get lost 😘 my arse is getting too comfy on this bus to the point it may start leave imprints on the seats least it'll be a well worn seat by the time someone needs to take my seat hopefully ;) sorry about the witch arriving with the sounds, plenty of cheese and wine to cheer you up tonight?

Clairey844 · 15/06/2021 10:59

@notyetamumbuttrying amazing lines 💗💗💗 congratulations and so pleased for you 🎉 was today your official test day??
Ignore that, just read that's Thursday!

Am reading the end of the bus and replying in the hope I can copy it over 😬

I'm on the new bus, just catching up...

X

Somatronic · 15/06/2021 11:00

@notyetamumbuttrying Yes! Wonderful news! I'm thrilled for you and your DH.

@Juno231 best of luck with the interview! I am also sitting here trying to muster up some interest in my work.

@Cheekymonkey3112 welcome! That's shocking re MC investigations.

@Minster2012 sorry to hear AF appears to be en route.

Minster2012 · 15/06/2021 11:01

Yeah thanks ladies if it's AF it's not bad, into a new cycle so that would be ok @Juno231 we are gonna continue to try naturally, you can't have ivf for 3 cycles after a MC anyway so we might reassess next year if no joy I guess

OP posts:
Clairey844 · 15/06/2021 11:17

@Minster2012 cracking title as ever 😂😂 I see it has drawn some attention already 😂😂😂
Hope you're doing ok, been mega full on here-our sodding bathroom is still not fully finished-I honestly think our plumber got his qualifications from a cereal packet-he put the wrong fittings on the end of the pipes to the bath taps which were then plastered and tiled in/round. He tried about a million times to connect the taps and they kept leaking. Cue removal of tiles and hacking at the newly plastered wall to get the pipe cutter in to get back to the copper pipe. Hoping he's coming today with the right bits so the bath taps can be connected and I might be able to have a bath after over 2 months without one 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️
Any progress with your sale or the new place? Saw your circus pics on Instagram-looked so good, I want to take N now.
Sorry to read AF is potentially marking her territory with a sneaky preview; if there's a silver lining it means your cycles are straight back on track which is defo a positive 😘

@amy2503 I found OH not knowing it was ov time less pressure all round and made things more normal-I think they feel a lot of pressure to perform when they know too much 😂

@larrythelizard phew for the only negative test result we all want to see. Do you have any plans to test or just waiting to see if AF comes?

@Cheekymonkey3112 welcome to the bus, sounds like your journey has been tough so far, 🤞🏻 no. 2 isn't such a long and hard road but plenty of awesome fellow passengers to help you on here 🥰

@Juno231 ooh get you on your fancy night out-hope the food was good 🤤
Good luck for your interview later xx

Dollybird89 · 15/06/2021 11:18

@notyetamumbuttrying wow that's amazing!

Think af is starting though not enough for a pad yet. But yay to a shorter cycle finally... Wish the timing was different though lol 🤣

Cheekymonkey3112 · 15/06/2021 11:19

I am trying to think of an embarrassing story , I'm struggling to think of one that won't give me away if someone comes across this that knows me IRL 😂🙈

polkadotpixie · 15/06/2021 11:21

Thanks for the tag on the new bus @Minster2012 😊

Congratulations @notyetamumbuttrying, that's a great line!

I'm on CD17, positive OPKs late on CD14 and CD15 but no temp rise yet which is really unusual for me as a normally ovulate the day after. I'm hoping for it to go up tomorrow as we've DTD the last 4 nights and it's hard to fit it in with my non-sleeping 2 year old! Hopefully it's not an annovulatory cycle as I've never had one in all the time I've been charting and I'll be gutted if I start now 😩
