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

??? What did I say? She’s useless and tries to get you to do her work or her, it shows her uselessness when you don’t, up/off I don’t know

@Franklydear you said showing her off & we use showing off as being a good thing, like "here's my gorgeous woman" showing her up is like laughing at her "sending her up to be a fool"

@Franklydear you can send poo in the post via an anonymous company if you know where shit bag ex (or boss boy!) lives?

@vil10 ha so actually - I'm terrified to find out how little sex we'll have without scheduled FW sex!

@lexber maybe take a self care day tomorrow?

@Minster2012 let us know if you managed to get some 🤣

That'll be a no @Juno231 😣luckily it's still early but every 3 days is pretty scant for us. You might feel more free & have more!

So temping question, you guys (I think @2020mission said it earlier about the programme?) that you shouldn't move before temping, and I have no idea if I sleep with my mouth open?! 😛😝done Ppl say keep it under your pillow. Eh?! Really? So having it on my bedside table isn't good enough? Like I have to turn to get it! Surely that's ok?!

@Juno231 I did have that address somewhere, I did some admin for him at some point that mentioned it📩🎉 bossboy that is, shitbag no idea, but that one is better not to poke

Oh god yes remember the poo in the post we wanted to send it (or shitloads glitter in a card) to the woman who gazumped us (or let a gazumping happen)

Wear I want to know is who has @Juno231 sent it to you know about it previously?!

@Minster2012 under the pillow? haha never heard that one - mines was always on the bedside table! I woke up with my mouth open half the time and just closed my mouth and didn't move for a minute and then took the reading. Seemed to work ok doing that. I definitely recommend putting the temperatures into Fertility Friend the charts on there are the easiest to read. @Juno231 is more knowledgable on it all!

Actually @Catherinettc now I think about it I think I was similar withaf about 6 weeks post partum . Not on really though is it!

@bez91 oh that's tough bless you, hopefully you get to wear them soon x

@Vil10 aw thanks, right back at you 😉

@Lexber we all have times like that where we dip in a bit less 😃

@Catherinettc I got AF back 26 days after I had DS, straight back to my old cycle...I was not impressed!

I'm 9dpo today, temp is still high but boobs have stopped hurting and I was having loads of AF style cramps yesterday so think she's on the way. Hoping the vitamin C and B6 increases my crappy luteal phase from last month's pathetic 8 days though 🤞

@Minster2012 www.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/4279017-This-beautiful-amazing-welcoming-friendly-Yorkshire-I-ve-never-witnessed don’t read this just before your meditation time

Also conundrum for you all, cd12, typically ov day cd 11, had a sore foof for the last 3 days and ewcm until yesterday and now the soreness is gone too, is that ovulation ? I’ve abandon the idea of the last af being ib, if it was, it will still be mid July, feel weird but been having a flare up for the last 3 weeks, so...

P.s: @catheeeeeriiiine

@polkadotpixie that's great on longer LP 🙌🏻and you aren't out yet lovely

@2020mission yeah I've added FF to my suite of apps! Had to disregard this morning though as was woken at 4am & had to get up to DS then at about 5.30/6 before getting up so pretty crap this morning

@Franklydear tbh my friend is from round there & it has been like that, obviously I'm in E Yorkshire so that's amazing but there is a "Yorkshire mentality" of things like don't let outsiders in. It's s generational though & certainly it's beautiful in all Yorkshire I think

@Minster2012 @Franklydear can see some
of this. It's a lot more complex but W.York wise it hasn't helped with the local authority allocate housing for certain nationalities/cultures to certain suburbs which only exacerbates segregation I think. DH is from W.Yorks but moved to where I am. MIL isn't too happy he didn't marry a Yorkshire lass the witch so there is some mentality of not letting outsiders in 😆

Is anyone testing this week? I've lost track a little bit

@bez91 yeah totally agree, see I've been turned into a yorkie by DH as I'm originally from Leicestershire where Leicester is obviously more segregated but I love Leicester the golden mile was fantastic & I went to a very mixed school where there actually wasn't much segregation. It was private though so maybe that helped 🤷🏼‍♀️

On the testing front do we have @sezzy25, @Somatronic @JuniperAndTonic @Vil10 who else is there?

Morning all, I've been lurking but feel like I've not got anything to say!

@bez91 loved the seaside snap on insta, I hope it's helped you chill out.

@Minster2012 obv you're less chilled out if you're temping...I'm finding it very very hard to resist the urge to temp and track but going to leave that for July.

@Juno231 🥳🥳🥳 on the job, I've done some digging and if I were to get this other job (and accept it) I'd have to wait 12 months for anything other than stat maternity - but it'd be a huge jump in salary (and DH just got promoted) that I wouldn't necessarily stop trying - I'd just try and save the extra salary!

@Franklydear he sounds horrible and scary. There was a good thread the other day on revenge if you want to fantasise about what you'd do to him or bossboy!

Going to attempt a little weight lifting workout in the garage today when I can summon up the energy

@Minster2012 Thanks 😊 I'm actually from Leicester too but I live near Loughborough now!

@larrythelizard I annoy bossboy with little things every day and then look all puzzled with a tilted head if he queries, he's mentioned that sometimes I made him look like a right ass, if the shoe fits .... better leave shitbag in his box, he might have mellow with the years but, did I mention he was a wanted man back home, shrugs....
Happy music today garage Inc, yes that's Metallica 🤘

Well I cracked and tested this morning at 11DPO, BFN. I know it’s still early, AF due Saturday or Sunday depending which app I look at so I’ll try not to test again now unless AF doesn’t arrive!

We have someone coming to view our flat this morning so just trying to get it tidy and sorted for that! 🤞🏻

@Franklydear yes dear? Xx

Hello,so nice to hear from you, that's it😀

@polkadotpixie I went to Loughborough high school! My mum taught in Loughborough so I know it well, you probably don't remember Matt's Bar where we danced on the pool table as teenagers drinking triple vodka red bull 😜

@larrythelizard I was going to do a weights works out later but we'll have to stop DS being a knob first. Might be hard 🤔. I can't say I have the urge to temp but it's another thing to look at eh, and one that should actually confirm or not ovulation so interesting for me, you stay chilled!

@JuniperAndTonic it is still early but sorry it was negative this morning, fingers crossed it changes for the better! Good luck with the viewing 🤞🏻have you found somewhere else?

Morning everyone! Hope you're all OK 😊 I've been reading along but like @larrythelizard I've not had anything to say really! All very dull on my end, waiting to for FW to happen really. Although DH turned to me the other day and went "that time made a baby" like yes love, that's exactly how that works when it was like CD 12 with no sign of ewcm 😂 think he's lost his marbles 😂

@larrythelizard normally it states that you have to have worked 12 months by your qualifying week before being entitled to additional mat pay - but I think qualifying week is week 26? So in reality means you only have to wait 3 months to get pregnant. So def check the details once in!

@Minster2012 bedside table is fine and I often wake up with my mouth open so I just close it, count to 120 and temp then. Ie wait 2 min!

@Minster2012 I have faith!! Keep positive lovely! Did you end up getting the schlong??x

@Juno231 you might surprise yourself, dont put pressure or be hard on yourself x

@Manifestingbaby 🤞🏼🤞🏼

@Minster2012 im not sure whether I'll be testing! I have none in for starters, and I don't know if I'll just be gutted seeing 1 line!

@JuniperAndTonic sorry on the bfn but still early!! 🤞🏼 af stays away! And good luck with the viewing!!

Well 11dpo today, few cycles I've started spotting on at 11dpo and I haven't so far🙌🏻 rhr has jumped up 2, feel a bit periody but not too bad so no idea what's going on! Also, decided last night if af shows this time I'm biting the bullet and ringing the dr for bloods and OH is booking his SA, I'm so so nervous, but I've been off the pill for almost 17 months now!! Properly TTC for almost 15 months, so I think it's time! But I need help, when I ring up what do I say?😫
