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

Morning ladies
@juniperandtonic happy anniversary for yesterday! (or the day before by the time I've replied lol)
I slept so much better last night but I kept dreaming about food. That's torture because I have my gestational glucose tolerance test this morning so I've got to fast till after the test at 11am 🙄

Morning!

@JuniperAndTonic happy anniversary for the other day! It's really good being so distracted like that in TWW, 9/10dpo would be really early for a cheapie so good to wait! 🤞🏻for you

@Kirky658 that's so funny dreaming about food! Hope the test goes ok, I had crap sleep last night, not sure if the temping is off Cos of it I def woke up 45mins before 🙄

Hello ladies,

Sorry I've not been on here much but been away for the weekend and it's been lovely. Got back Monday night and then yesterday morning jumped in the car to go to work and a really expensive error message came up and the car juddered and turned itself off so had to abandon it literally up the road from our house 😩 OH had to stay at home as couldn't get to work and had to get mum to come and get DS to take to school and I had to scrounge a lift to work. Spent all day stressing thinking it was going to cost us thousand which really wasn't what we needed then last night got a friend to come and plug it in to a diagnostics and at the moment it seems like it's fixed, got to order a few bits but nothing like the money we thought. Thank god 😅😅 I thought early labour triggered by stress was on the cards for me 😨

How is everyone ??

@Minster2012 I get 45 squares btw!

@lucyrp christ I'd shit myself if the car died on the road - I'd have no clue what to do 😂

@paintfairy interesting! Did you take it just to see what it would do spotting wise or was this last cycle when you had a chance to conceive?

@lucyrp omg, what a nightmare, glad is not so bad
@Kirky658 I hated those test, really cruel to make a pregnant lady fast, I demanded my test was first thing, so they put all mine at 7
@Minster2012 my sleep is so erratic I wouldn’t try tempting, that sounds exactly like bossboy, he hasn’t done that yet, atm he is leaving me alone, he’s taken to one of the new girls, I mean as a very very young adult, and he spends his days locked, yes with key, in his office with her doing who knows what, he has even covered the windows so nobody can see
No poas this morning
I had a fuck moment the other day, Facebook suggested someone you may know, a bloody abusive thug I had a very brief relationship with before getting married, and he lives just a few miles away, wtf! I hope I don’t come up as a suggestion for him cos he is bad news

@Minster2012 I got 46 squares. Gave up on the balls!

Need to catch up but just getting ready for work - will try to this eve.

AF has arrived today, just as my apps predicted. Been spotting for more of this cycle than not. Hope you're all good.

@Minster2012 I got 46 squares 😊.

@lucyrp jeeeeez I think I'd cry, hope it's not too expensive 🙏🏼

Guessing I'm somewhere between 6-9 dpo going off previous ovulation days, cramping the last couple of days which I usually do the week before AF so think she's on her way 😩

I have a sofa 😭😭😭

It got delivered this morning after several previous cancellations and having ordered it in OCTOBER

@Minster2012 yes 46! I'd missed the big one x

@Juno231 I didn't either 😂😂 whenever anything goes wrong I always text our friend. Poor bloke 🤣

@bez91 not going to lie I did cry, I sat in the car and cried while OH told me to stop crying 🤣 yeah hopefully it won't be. Not what I need right now!

@Franklydear fingers crossed. How are you ?

@lucyrp I’m ok, recovering from my flare up still, and torturing myself this cycles, my symptoms don’t match the part of the cycle I am supposed to be in, so I’m coming up with lots of crazy scenarios, could the last af been implantation and I am really pregnant? kinda thing😳 happened with ds, so I guess will find out mid July

@Minster2012 it’s definitely good to have distractions in the TWW! I haven’t tried temping because I wake up at different times everyday so I’m not sure how accurate it would be! I love my sleep so don’t fancy setting an alarm to wake up at the same time every day and husband doesn’t sleep well so don’t think he’d be too pleased 😅

@Kirky658 hope you’ve got something good to eat planned for after the test!! I would definitely have to have a treat to make up for the fasting 😂 Hope the test goes well anyway!

@lucyrp cars are so stressful!! My old car started having things go wrong so I swiftly got a new one for fear of it breaking down and costing lids of money!!

@JuniperAndTonic my old one is still currently on the drive, driveable but so expensive to have on the road so its just there until I can be bothered to sell it 😅 I do love it and don't want to part with it but my god I have spent more on it than what I bought it for 🙄

@lucyrp to you do get attached to cars! I part exchanged my old one and did feel sad clearing it out and saying goodbye to it! But I love my new one so it helps!

I forgot to write in my last post talking about dreams - I actually dreamt I was pregnant last night but the line on the test was really faint! Maybe it’s a sign?? Can always Hope haha!

@juno231 congrats on new sofa day!!!! Our oak furnitureland stuff is meant to be delivered 12th July now so we will see...
@juniperandtonic haha deffo, not sure what to have yet! 😁
@franklydear It is torture, I'm more worried about the drive to the appt being this hungry to be honest!
@minster2012 I know lol. It is like my body knew it was gonna be starved!!! Sorry you didn't sleep too well.

@Minster2012 well it worked when they did the iui in the sense that i had a lot of eggs and 2 dominant ones really early on. Didn't work in the sense of baby making though. 😂
@Juno231 it was last cycle- the one I wanted iui and they didn't call. If you use it earlier then you get multiple eggs. Later then it's meant to make what you've got stronger. So I did that thinking it might just give me a push. Didn't work though anyway.

@JuniperAndTonic hopefully the dream is a good sign! Although I had a dream last week that I had 3 babies under the age of 1. Including twin babies who were a different skin colour to DH and I so not sure how that happened. It's because I was listening to someone talking about a woman in Ireland who had a baby by surrogate after having 14 miscarriages and then gave birth to twins a few months later.

I'm cycle day 30 now. Not sure how many DPO cos I didn't bother with OPKs this month. My last two cycles were 27 days and the one before was 31 and then 30 before that so I don't know what's normal for me.

@paintfairy gotcha! I only knew of it from an egg stimulation pov. Btw it's interesting you've not spotted this cycle! (I think I read that right?) How's the pain in the arm?

12DPO today and my third day of coverline temps so perhaps I did have lower progesterone (or higher estrogen) this time round. AF due tomorrow and then.... no TTC? That feels MENTAL.

@Minster2012 oh and I just stuck to the share scheme payout - I felt I couldn't wrangle more off the base if I'd literally used the share scheme as a reason to increase it and they actually want to pay for the share scheme. I can't believe how painful HR has been about it though! Should've been easy peasy for them to meet my base request and they've made a faff out of it by now having to do payout calcs and delaying the contract for however many days. I want to resign ASAP so as not to delay baby making any further!

@becarefuloutthere Thankyou!!X

@Minster2012 manifesting the shit out of it!! I mean you love a good bonk so you'll definitely get yourself covered either way🍆

@Kirky658 Thankyou lovely!xx

@JuniperAndTonic happy anniversary for yesterday!! At least you've been distracted!! Fingers crossed af stays away for you!

@lucyrp that sounds very stressful😂 I'd be clueless!! How many weeks are you now??

@feliznavidad2 sorry for af arriving!!

@bez91 🤞🏼 it isn't af!!

Well my bloating that I had yesterday has gone, still got af type pains but very mild, and rhr has been sitting at the same since Friday, I didn't wear my Fitbit on Saturday or Sunday until the evening and I drank Saturday so not sure how accurate it is, but it's jumped up 1 today, I'm 10dpo but feel like I'm going to start spotting tomorrow or Friday x

@Juno231 no i haven't spotted but sometimes I don't until nearer the end. If I'm due AF Saturday then it should start today really, or tomorrow. That's why I wonder if I ovulated late. The stress of a&e. 🤣 I still had suspect cm going into the first half of the week. My rhr was all over too - because of the accident. So I'm not sure.
Arm is bearable. I'm worried it hurts more on the side they didn't fix. I'm just hoping they haven't missed anything. I'm back next Tuesday. I'm so impatient with things- I'm already looking at private physio treatments that could help with healing. I know I'll get nhs physio, but.....

@Juno231 actually my other app says af due Sunday. I reckon that's more right. Here's my rhr. The yellow dot is when i should have ovulated. The high rhr between that and now was when I had my op.

@lucyrp thank god on the car that's not what you needed, pleased it's sorted!

@JuniperAndTonic I bought a thermometer last year but then Realised I want ovulating do it was pointless 🤣, I vaguely wake up at the same time but so far mine have been at 6.37 & 6am! So not ideal. Really hoping that dream is real!!

@Franklydear well even if you did come up as a suggested person to the nutter he can't get you. God your boss boy sounds such a creep, stay steering well clear.

@Manifestingbaby we disagree with the balls one but hey Ho!

@paintfairy hmmmm interesting. I've got estrodial at home. Hmmmm

@feliznavidad2 I'm hoping your cycle settles down now, we say "onwards and inwards" on this bus!

@Somatronic are you just waiting AF out? 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@bez91 come on you know better than that, cramps can mean both baby or AF!

@Juno231 weirdly I was going to ask you about your sofa the other sat after we were discussing that!! Yeyyyyyy And I'm sorry the offer is being strung out but don't forget it's for the better for you to get the money & you don't have to delay things!

@Vil10 oooooo see you def aren't out!! Yeah I'm just gonna keep bonking! Though even DH is a bit like "this is weird not knowing" and he's disheartened

To all those who said 45/46 squares look again 🤣

Uh just had a cruel poas experience. Started poas Sunday, 7dpo, way to early but father's day so did. Well once I start I can't stop! So today 10dpo fmu bfn but decided to do smu too. Saw something on it! Got so excited, picked it up for a closer look....a bit of bloody lint! 🤣

@Minster2012 50?

@Minster2012 aah 50? love these things though! I find the stack ambiguous though, are we meant to assume it's hollow or is filled?
