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

Oooo looks good @Juno231 thanks & good luck on the negotiation 🤞🏻

@Kirky658 the fake looks amazing but I've just been laughing after you said crying hysterically as the buttercream slides off, I'd do that not pregnant 🤣

@larrythelizard yes it could be feasible, that would make me CD6 today so I'm trying to keep an eye on that, sticky CM today? bloody TTC headfuck 😩

@Juno231 @becarefuloutthere full on the donkey thread 🤣sounds fun!

@kaylsd omg you did get loads no wonder the phone is making your eyes /head hurt!! That's nice on the apology & godparent though wtf on the MIL?? What??? Nothing wrong with you lovely, her.

DKDK123 · 20/06/2021 20:39

Thank you for being so understanding ladies, you really are the best 🥰 I may disappear for a few days just stay busy but will be back to support you all back soon x

Kirky658 · 20/06/2021 20:46

@kaylsd ❤️❤️❤️
@minster2012 honestly it was ridiculous, I just cried and howled!!! I think it was too hot in the kitchen.

Billythecat · 20/06/2021 21:02

Thinking of all of you who Father’s Day is tough for ❤️

@Kirky658 that cake looks amazing! Very impressed :) bet it will be yummy too!

@kaylsd I’m not surprised you feel a bit delicate today haha. Can’t believe your MIL!!!

@bez91 not sure when I will test, definitely not earlier than tomorrow which would be 10dpo but I think if that was implantation, I might need to wait 3/4 days to see anything on a test? Who knows!

No AF yet which is good! I really really hope it doesn’t come but I also don’t want to get any hopes up to then be disappointed again. TTC sucks!

Back to work tomorrow and dreading it slightly, will be knackered I know. Also have dentist appt before work so have to get up even earlier- I hate going to the dentist!

becarefuloutthere · 20/06/2021 21:05

@Minster2012 haha 😛 I've sorted it now and created a new one @Juno231 😜
@DKDK123 take as long as you need! 😘
@Kirky658 cried and howled 😂 sounds like something I would do which is why I don't bake cakes 😆

Vil10 · 20/06/2021 21:22

@bez91 hahaha I always think this, like I wonder if it is actually a lot?? Thankyou!! We aren't in a rush, but we're in the attitude and mood to move and we have it in our head now!

@Minster2012 definitely! Outside space and garden is definitely a big one, especially with dogs! Hmm, maybe keep bonking in case the little spotting was af??

@paintfairy I'm so sorry to hear that about your dad! Sending hugs❤️

@becarefuloutthere even though it was gorgeous, I'd hate to get in there and be gutted and miss the garden at our current house!! How're you getting on?X

@DKDK123 you don't sound ungrateful at all!! It's completely understandable for you to feel like this after everything you've been through!! Keeping everything crossed for you that this is a sticky one🤞🏼

@Kirky658 oooo that cake looks lovely!! Hope you had a nice afternoon x

@Billythecat hoping af stays away for you!!

Juno231 · 20/06/2021 21:36

@kaylsd ❤️ sorry that father's day still brings you such pain

@becarefuloutthere aah I'm sorry - I would have been woefully under prepared for taking over the donkey thread

Did I mention that for the last two days I've had so much creamy CM that I've had to change my pants halfway through the day 😂

feliznavidad2 · 20/06/2021 21:39

Catching up in the TV break of Handmaid's Tale. Eek.

Hope you're all ok and that you've had fun weekends!

Spotting still ongoing here, haven't even POAS as don't think there's much point. 😣 11dpo. Will reply properly later or tomorrow. 😊

feliznavidad2 · 20/06/2021 21:40

Also, thinking of you all who find Father's Day difficult for whatever reason that may be. x

becarefuloutthere · 20/06/2021 21:45

@Vil10 makes sense to me! Yeah I'm ok thanks love, how are you?
@Juno231 nah you could've handled it! 😜
Ooh is that new for you then?! Whereabouts are you in your cycle?
@feliznavidad2 I've been watching direct from the US, it's such a good series! Harrowing but good.

Vil10 · 20/06/2021 21:45

@Juno231 I've been the same!! It's been like half creamy half watery but also a bit stringy?? It's so weird, i was convinced this morning that it felt like I'd come on!!

Vil10 · 20/06/2021 21:47

@becarefuloutthere good!! When will you be telling family/friends the news?? I'm good Thankyou! Got this next week to get through then I'm off work for a week then back in for 4 days, then a long weekend camping then back in for a week then it's the summer holidays!! Not long to go!

Minster2012 · 20/06/2021 21:51

@Juno231 is that Greek yoghurt in your underwear or.....🤪interesting & potentially hopeful sign 🤞🏻and @Vil10 too (& yeah I'll keep bonking though DH not here tonight & he said was too knackered so I'm frustrated)

@Kirky658 too hot in the kitchen 🤣

@Billythecat im def hoping AF stays away for you & that was implantation 🤞🏻I'm with you on the dentist- I went in April after a year & know I have weak enamel so lots of fillings, I need 4 new ones/replacements. What??? Urgh

@feliznavidad2 I only watched 2 series of HMT I think, it's like it's all shot in the dRk which I hate about programmes 🙄. Are you gonna POAS? Youve been spotting right?

OP posts:
feliznavidad2 · 20/06/2021 21:59

@Minster2012 no, not POAS as been spotting for about a week now so something isn't er doing what it should be glares at reproductive system
AF is due Weds so I will if no proper period by then but not holding out much, if any hope.

That cake looks delish @Kirky658 🤩

@DKDK123 you don't sound ungrateful at all. The bus will be here waiting when you're ready to come back. Thanks

Juno231 · 20/06/2021 22:04

@Minster2012 haha spot on - like thick Greek yoghurt but def not thrush for once 😅 @vil10 not stringy though! Hope it's a good sign for you.

@becarefuloutthere not that crazy unusual - I know not to bother getting excited!

Minster2012 · 20/06/2021 22:14

Yeah that's a good point @feliznavidad2 after so much spotting it might be pointless until next week. Bloody bodies 🙄

@DKDK123 will be here for whatever you need and thinking of you in the meantime ☺️😘

@Juno231 mmmm delish. NOT!! Are you still tired?

OP posts:
larrythelizard · 20/06/2021 22:52

Oh good reminder @feliznavidad2 I love the handmaids tale, will get on 4od tomorrow when DH is out!

God knows what that means @Juno231 other than maybe you're an Icelandic yoghurt (I think that's thicker than Greek?!)

You can change all the internal stuff @Vil10 but not the size (or aspect, was v important to us!) of the garden or the area so deffo right to be certain on those.

🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 @Billythecat that would be the dream, the cycle after your surgery!

I know I'm not talking about it but I'm coming round to think that I am pregnant and it's not Pfizer fuckery, have done a lot of google reading this evening and given the I didn't ovulate until 8th June (going on ov pains the night before), and implantation typically doesn't happen until day 9 than that was only 17th June (3 days ago) so HCG unlikely to be high enough to register yet. Boobs definitely getting harder and sorer. I can barely bring myself to let myself believe it might be a positive - I'm going to crash so badly if it's not! Will test again middle/end of the week and see. 😬😬😬

Minster2012 · 20/06/2021 23:06

@larrythelizard we'll get you through to midweek, so both boobs tender not just the right 🤣nooooo @Juno231 is a Swedish yoghurt! Whatever that is Cos she's a swede!

blackcurrantqueen · 21/06/2021 06:02

@DKDK123 hey darling solidarity and here when you need us 🤞🏼💕

@Juno231 just saying the only time I've had CM like that is when I've been pregnant....

@larrythelizard ahhh fingers and toes and legs and arms crossed for you, really hope this is your moment 🥰

@Kirky658 that cake looks gorgeous, sorry it made you cry 😂

@Manifestingbaby oh hey name change! Love it

Sorry for the radio silence ladies I've been here and I've been reading but in all honesty I am just absolutely paralysed with fear. Constantly assessing have my symptoms got less, do I feel less sick etc etc and I'm just not in a good place. My anxiety is so so high; I'm convinced something is going wrong.
Not helped by the fact we are a household running on empty as our 2 year old is still waking before 5 every day and then behaving like an actual diva all. day. long.

larrythelizard · 21/06/2021 06:38

AF's here. Obviously waiting for me to start to believe and then BOOM.

Franklydear · 21/06/2021 07:02

Oh no @larrythelizard
@blackcurrantqueen hi🤗 for a while I didn’t even read, but this is like a family home, you can always come back to

Morning all

bez91 · 21/06/2021 07:32

@blackcurrantqueen that's really tough, I don't have any words of wisdom as saying take it one day at a time is easier said than done but we're here 🙋🏼‍♀️

Oh @larrythelizard it's so bloody cruel, hope you're ok, sending love 💕

Off this week so we're off to the coast for a break which is very much needed, DH and I so stressed with work etc so will be nice to have a break, of course we've all woken up with stuffy noses this morning though 🤦🏼‍♀️😩

Manifestingbaby · 21/06/2021 07:44

Morning.

@larrythelizard af the bitch! So sorry.

@blackcurrantqueen that's so hard for you. Have you a scan booked for reassurance? Something to aim towards? Definitely one day at a time. So tough when you have a diva wearing you out too!. Early nights for yourself is all I can suggest there 😬

Manifestingbaby · 21/06/2021 07:45

@bez91 enjoy the break. Hope the sea air unstuffs the noses 😃

Minster2012 · 21/06/2021 07:49

@larrythelizard god the timing is actually comical isn't it. F ing bitch, & Covid jab 😡

@bez91 have a lovely break & hope you get some time to chill for you both

@blackcurrantqueen I think many of us understand the fear but obviously not as much as going through it darling. We are always here like @Franklydear says a family home you can come back to and we are here with open arms 🥰
