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

🤞🏻💓😘🥳🙌🏻

@Kirky658 are you feeling any better? And I'm totally with you on the lack of drink variety! Orange juice places usually have for a non fizzy option

@polkadotpixie @clolo @Juno231 thank you I shall get FF & try that, I did my temp this morning as a try & I will carry on the see if I can do it similar time etc so will get FF & put spotting as Af & see

@becarefuloutthere I'm basically discharged from the clinic unless I want more private ivf again we can call them so would be gp, I'm reluctant to take anything as I fear that might mess things up even more. Just gonna wait it out I think

@Kirky658 middle of the night catch ups are the best, recommend the rambles too
@Minster2012 waiting it out is the correct call, also the frustrating one, although I am not sure going to the go wouldn’t be frustrating

Roadworks mean I am in the middle of the diversion, no buses this morning, will have to figure it out

@Minster2012 that makes sense, hope the wait isn't too much longer!
@Kirky658 has the heartburn gone now?
@Franklydear hope you navigate your way round ok this morning!

I'm off for an Italian lunch today with Dh's family. It's his dads 70th today!
Got my 3+ on a digital today at 5 weeks so that's all my testing done now. Now to wait for the 8 week scan!

Road closures finished just on time for my bus to resume as normal, all good
@becarefuloutthere glad to hear that 🖖

@Franklydear phew! That's a relief then 😅
Thank you 🙏🏾

@becarefuloutthere yeah I get that, I've always thought that, like do I want loads of random people and friends of friends knowing the journey we were on! It'll be lovely however you do it! Yessss to 3+ weeks, these next few weeks until your scan will fly by, have a lovely afternoon!

Well I'm 9dpo, and last month my LP was 13 days long, spotted for 1 day then af came the day after, I feel a bit periody today, little twingey and very bloated, my rhr is doing shite all, so I feel like I might start spotting tomorrow or Thursday for af🙄

@becarefuloutthere oh congrats on the 3+! I missed the part about telling family - are you telling them at this birthday today?

@vil10 remember @becarefuloutthere had AF symptoms as her BFP!

@becarefuloutthere yay for 3+ . Great! Still a little blown away by your bfp 😁 how are you feeling?

@Minster2012 I'm no help on temping sorry. Have you done anymore opks since?

@Vil10 think I'm about 9dpo too. Don't really know when to expect af though, jab lengthened my cycle last month so we will see. No symptoms expect my boobs are killing me but have been for about a week so thats neither here nor there really.

@Dollybird89 glad af is behaving, hope she buggers off soon

@minster2012 just. So. Tired.
@franklydear I was hoping you'd be awake so we could have a ramble together 🤣
@becarefuloutthere it's still with me, not as bad but just residual! Driving me mad lol. Congrats on the 3+ as well that's great news! X

BFN this morning plus I feel so sick. Not a good day so far!

Hi all. AF due today. Feeling twinges so I reckon it'll be later today probably.

I don't have any tests this month but I'm sick of seeing negatives so I'll just wait for AF I think.

@becarefuloutthere congratulations on the 3+!

And my respect to those of you who can manage temping. I don't have the patience or the brain for it!

@Vil10 I have a feeling they'll crawl by tbh 😂
I really hope all that doesn't mean AF is coming! 🤞🏾
@Juno231 thanks, yeah we're telling Dh's family today. How are you getting on?
@Manifestingbaby haha me too 😆 I'm ok today, feel less sick which is handy for a big lunch! 😝 hope AF stays away for you too!
@Kirky658 argh, hope it passes soon! Thank you 😊
@Billythecat so sorry 😞
@Somatronic here's hoping she stays away! Thanks. I could never temp too, no patience for it! Plus I thought it wouldn't help my sleep so never did bother in the end.

@becarefuloutthere oh that will be exciting! Can't wait to hear how it goes. I'm spotting today so just awaiting AF. It's weird though, this is the second cycle where I spot before AF - that didn't used to happen before!

Hi everyone, still here trying to keep up but nausea is kicking my arse at the moment and it is hard to concentrate on anything (including work 😩) so just been skimming every now and then.

Great news on the 3+ @notyetamumbuttrying, so good when you see that especially as you are only 5 weeks so bang on time whereas it seems lots don’t get it until much later if at all as the levels are so high. How are you feeling?

Sorry that AF has done a real number on you @larrythelizard, so unfair!

That is weird @Juno231, do you think you might have low progesterone?

@Juno231 definitely don't worry about the spotting before AF, I had it every single month since starting TTC. I'm think I had excess estrogen possibly not helped by drinking all the grapefruit juice etc. Especially since the doctor said my cervix looked like that of someone on hormonal contraceptives or someone pregnant neither of which I was. I never had spotting ever before we started TTC and we always used condoms as contraceptives so you can't say coming off anything led to it. I stopped the grapefruit juice in my last 2 cycles TTC. What a relief not to be drinking that ass juice 😅

@becarefuloutthere time to step away from tests now you've got your 3+! Also you need to update your Instagram bio with the new username 😆 too confusing.

@Juno231 very true but this feels so similar to af, ill be very surprised if it's not!! Sorry for spotting, but I spot too for 2 days leading up to af, only have done since coming off the pill!

@Manifestingbaby ooo yes cycle buddies!! My cycle has been a bit off recently too!! My last cycle was only 26 days long and the one before that was 32, I took pregnacare around March time and since then my cycles have been between 26-32 days which is strange for me, according to flo af is due on the 28th this month which will get me back in my regular cycle!

@Somatronic 🤞🏼 af stays away! I don't temp either, I get obsessed over my rhr enough without throwing something else into the mix😂

@becarefuloutthere I bet it'll feel like that for you but for the rest of us it'll go rapid, I feel like everyone on the bus who I witnessed get their BFP, their pregnancies have flown!! I hope not too, especially if it is af cramps at 9dpo!!

@Billythecat so sorry for bfn!!

Well I'm extremely bloated and keep getting af type pains, just gone for a brisk walk to get some steps in and had a stitch like feeling in my right ovary area, I think spotting will start on Thursday, but if it's af I just hope I'm not on heavy for the spa on Monday😂

@Vil10 very similar symptoms for BFP I agree with @Juno231

@Juno231 is it since the hsg?

@Billythecat whadda bitch sorry for the bfn lovely

@becarefuloutthere step away from the tests!

I think you ladies might be right about my spotting being instead of AF. My CM seems consistent with a new cycle so probably CD 9 now.
Course now I've said that then AF will come 😜

Sounds good @minster2012!! Stay away af!!

Af has left the building for me after just 5days!! Wtf?? I'm in shock.. only 75day cycle and 5day af .. getting there slowly 😁🥳 only time will tell how this cycle lasts ,☺️

@Minster2012 Since the jab actually! I was fine after the HSG. Just did an IC and it's definitely BFN. I hope you have better luck than me with this weird cycle you've got going on!

@Haiyaa if I do it's new! My day 21 test showed progesterone as 60+ so was def good previously.

@Dollybird89 amazing news!! fingers crossed it only gets better from here on

@2020mission thank you I'll try not to worry, it's just annoying that our cycles seem to be ever changing. You'd think with me being on cycle 19 I shouldn't have new things introduced at this stage lol.

@Lexber was it you who mentioned a wild camping app? Which one do you use if I may ask? We haven't planned our trip at all yet!

Afternoon all 💕
We are back in quarantine after DD woke up with a stonking temperature - though otherwise fine little faker!
Little trip out to get swabbed this morning now wondering what I can justify us having for dinner after a McDonald's breakfast... 🐽

@Dollybird89 brilliant news on the AF

@becarefuloutthere yay so glad you got your 3+ and you're stepping away from the tests.. I must admit I still occasionally POAS 😬 the other day I even did an experiment and diluted my wee to see if it made a difference! (It did the line was darker) but I've told myself I've got to stop now 😂

@Vil10 hmmm AF incoming or little implantation symptoms.. hmmmmmm🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

@Haiyaa sorry to hear you're struggling with nausea too- though I'll do the annoying thing everybody does to me... 'it's a good sign!!'

@Somatronic kudos for staying away from the piss chip sticks. Let's hope AF rewards you by staying away too!

@Billythecat sorry on the BFN darling x

@Minster2012 sorry your cycle is being SO DAMN ANNOYING. Really hope it sorts itself out soon, and you can get making minster egg babies ASAP 🥚

@Juno231 the vaccine and AF thing is really interesting to me, I heard a reproductive immunologist ? Talking about it on radio 1 and she was saying that they honestly don't know what short term effect it has on cycles but there is reasonable evidence it has no long term effects. Not sure how that makes sense but hopefully it is the case! Fingers crossed it'll sort itself out over the next couple of cycles!

I had Pfizer and between #1 and #2 there was no change in my cycles, however I got pregnant the cycle after #2 (jab was 16th and AF was on time on the 26th) so don't know if it would have made any difference to mine. Unless it was the golden sticking factor in this egg 😂

@Vil10 you must have stolen my cycle because I was expecting a 26 dayer and got a 30 dayer 😂 who knows! @Juno231 I'm with you, 18 cycles in and still don't know what to expect. Just had the teeniest bit of spotting. Cd21 so looks like tjis will be a short one

@Minster2012 I really think you are in the new cycle. Get banging!

Ladies, I need a head wobble, cd9 at lasted 2 days blood not bits, but I have boobs, sore fanny, pulling cramps and loss of appetite for the last week, thinking of testing, cos you know it makes sense 🙄 or am I dying of something else?
