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

@franklydear head being wobbled but if you think it would make you feel better poas x

Franklydear · 22/06/2021 18:02

@Kirky658 I don't know if it'll just make me feel stupid, maybe strong ovulation signs?

Minster2012 · 22/06/2021 18:06

@Juno231 I guess with the jabs it's one of those things, like the IUD I guess that some ppl it will affect & others not but it's annoying that something has done that

@Franklydear id be POAS just in case 🤣

@Manifestingbaby it's ridiculous isn't it that ladies can be trying for so many months & still no idea on things really, I think my TTC journey is gonna be the thing that sends me into an asylum 🤣 but I def think you are right & new cycle for me, my CM has been either creamy /or sticky so that's like after an AF right?

OP posts:
Manifestingbaby · 22/06/2021 18:13

Well frankly, @franklydear you've been here before but then so have I so probably not the person to do the head wobbling!

@Minster2012 honestly I thought my gp was mad when she counted my spotting as af but then it played out that way so proved me wrong! On the bright side you are well into a new cycle just like that! (Hope I'm not wrong now 😆)

Minster2012 · 22/06/2021 18:35

That's what I thought @Manifestingbaby "well if that's the boring bit of a new cycle done that helps" let's hope it is!

OP posts:
becarefuloutthere · 22/06/2021 19:05

@Juno231 it went well, all very pleased for us! How odd with the spotting, do you think it could be linked to the lap? Can you speak to anyone about it?
@Haiyaa bless you, when did nausea kick in for you and have you had sickness too? Yes, I was very pleased to see it today as I thought I'd get 2-3 first but it was 3! Got one spare now (won't use it of course). I'm ok yeah, feel a bit sick at times but ok really.
@2020mission yeah defo, can't get better than that can you!! Haha I tried to earlier but I pressed the wrong button and now it won't let me do it for 2 weeks 🤦🏾‍♀️
@Vil10 here's hoping it feels the same for me then! Will you early test or just waiting it out?
@Minster2012 I will 🙂 I only bought two as thought it would be 2-3 first but seems not! Sounds like your body is getting there now mate!
@Dollybird89 glad you had a normal AF, yay 😀
@blackcurrantqueen ah you poor lot! Hope you sorted a tasty dinner!
Haha nice experiment 😉
@Franklydear I'd poas just to calm your brain if not anything else.

Vil10 · 22/06/2021 19:14

@Minster2012 hmm I won't get my hopes up yet!
You've skipped to almost FW yesss!

@blackcurrantqueen sorry you're having to isolate again!! What a faff!! I'm hoping the latter but not getting my hopes up!

@Manifestingbaby our bodies are officially fuck boys!!

@Franklydear I mean I'd deffo be poas right now😂

@becarefuloutthere well flo has predicted af for Monday which is OH's birthday, so if no spotting I'll test on Sunday, I'm hoping it's a good outcome then I can do another test on the morning of OH's birthday and surprise him!

becarefuloutthere · 22/06/2021 19:30

@Vil10 that would be so wonderful!! Have everything crossed for you honey xx

Minster2012 · 22/06/2021 20:19

@becarefuloutthere so you got it earlier than you thought that's so good 😚

@Vil10 we are all manifesting that for you 🤞🏻🤞🏻I know I just thought god I might need to start the sticks soon, clear blue says to start Thursday but then how many weeks will that go on for 🤣

@JuniperAndTonic how you feeling this TWW?

OP posts:
Minster2012 · 22/06/2021 20:20

Sorry CD8 today not 9 but still a week gone 🤣
Though I'm fully expecting its not right of course

OP posts:
bez91 · 22/06/2021 20:29

Oh @blackcurrantqueen you're having it rough ☹️ another test pending?

@Dollybird89 good on the cycle being more normal and not weeks of AF 🥳

@Minster2012 so annoying when you don't know if AF or what, hope that was AF!

Lexber · 22/06/2021 20:35

[quote Juno231]@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![/quote]
Yes it was - it's called Park4night xx

Kirky658 · 22/06/2021 20:50

@vil10 awwww that would be amazing, got everything crossed for you babe x

Minster2012 · 22/06/2021 21:05

Anything we should be buying on prime day btw?!

@Juno231 did you hear anything today on job?

OP posts:
becarefuloutthere · 22/06/2021 21:25

@Minster2012 yeah, so was very chuffed to see the 3 there!!
I've bought some luxury shower gels, one from l'octaine and the other rituals.

Juno231 · 22/06/2021 21:38

@lexber thank you!

@Minster2012 I'm gonna be annoying and say I get creamy/sticky cm during the TWW 🙊. No news on the offer today! Their hr has been shitty honestly, them doing this share scheme thing is so time consuming and faffy when they could afford to just give me the extra 4k I asked for!

@blackcurrantqueen hm I think sadly that my gp would laugh at me if I came to him with a spotting concern. I did however officially report it as a vaccine side effect last cycle when I had a heavy bleed at 9dpo!

Minster2012 · 22/06/2021 21:49

Ha ha ha @Juno231 well af coming is still a contender! Did you ask again for more salary or just leave it at payout the share scheme?

This is us when using X's toys to try solve the present I got for DH for Father's Day

I think I've caused more annoyance than fun 🤣

@Minster2012, like @Juno231 I get creamy cm in the tww, atm cm is y clear not stretchy any more, so I am thinking ovulation, I decided not to test but my mum does call me a veleta, so who knows

paintfairy · 22/06/2021 22:21

@2020mission @Juno231 I wondered if the spotting is high estrogen? Mine varies but my progesterone test wasn't low on the months I was checked, and one i was spotting a lot. The trial progesterone pessaries i had did work. But on the iui month (after injections) it didn't and I still spotted for 4 days before.
Last month I was naughty and used what I had left of the gonal f injection to give myself a push. Which admittedly wasn't much. I spotted terrible every single day that month after ovulation.
This month if I ovulated on time (wonder if the stress of my arm made it late?) then AF would be due this coming Saturday. Zero spotting at all as yet. My boobs have started hurting in the last day or so, so I'm definitely in my lp either way. Some months I get it like 3 days and some its terrible. 3 days isn't bloody ideal but I'm thankful for that compared to 2 weeks!

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/4276885-Whats-the-most-trivial-thing-youve-been-told-youre-doing-wrong Don’t stay up all night on this

Minster2012 · 22/06/2021 22:30

@paintfairy is the gonal f extra estrogen? Does estrogen push ovulation?

@Franklydear you are thinking you are at ovulation then? What's a veleta?!

OP posts:
paintfairy · 22/06/2021 22:34

@Minster2012 yeah it stimulates you to produce more eggs. Does the same as clomid - only clomid makes your body produce more itself, but the gonal just does it for you as its artificial.

Franklydear · 22/06/2021 22:36

@Minster2012 I kinda do but it’s a bit early, a veleta is those things you put in the roof that show the direction of the wind, therefore turning round every time the wind changes (a person that changes their mind suddenly without much apparent logic)

Minster2012 · 22/06/2021 22:47

@paintfairy interesting do you think it made a difference?

@Franklydear ahhh yes I see, a weathervane! And honestly who the hell eats a kit Kat like that??? That's monstrous. Bet they like twiglets too! I thought the sticky labels one was you posting as I glanced quickly & it's an F username! Sounds like something boss boy would implement 😆

JuniperAndTonic · 22/06/2021 22:47

Hi @Minster2012 thanks for checking in! Have been lurking and reading and trying to keep up with the bus but it moves fast! 😂

I’m doing okay, I’m 9DPO today and haven’t really been thinking about it much! It was our wedding anniversary yesterday and we went out for dinner which was lovely. I’m on annual leave and we’re sorting our flat ready to try and sell it so been pretty distracted really! I don’t really know when I should test - I’ve tested around this time the last 2 months with internet cheapies but I’m thinking of just waiting for AF this month but we’ll see how I feel the next couple of days!
