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

My DC started trying to pull everyone's trousers down randomly and I kept saying I've not got a clue why he's doing that. It's so strange. Then I discovered that I do it to DH as a joke and he's picked it up from me 😂😂😂

bez91 · 15/06/2021 11:45

Hope today goes good @Juno231 you swanky pants you!

@Minster2012 shitter but that's reassuring of normality post MC 💕

@Cheekymonkey3112 welcome and sorry to hear of your story 💕. Similarities as also TTC#2 for me, cycle 13 and miscarriages. Hope it's a short ride for you!

@larrythelizard thank god for BF-CV19-N

Katiekattty · 15/06/2021 11:48

@notyetamumbuttrying congrats so so very pleased for you

Cheekymonkey3112 · 15/06/2021 12:17

DC just saw a man on the larger side with a beard and asked him if he was father Christmas 🙃 also embarrassing.

It's so harrowing to hear that so many of you ladies have went through MC too. Its comforting to know others have been through it too. Hoping this journey for us all isn't a long one.

Katao · 15/06/2021 12:22

@notyetamumbuttrying 😭😭😭😭 happy tears! I can't believe it's finally your turn 🥰🥰🥰 so happy for you. Amazing lines and a digital. Congratulations x

@Minster2012 sorry to hear af might be on her way. If so at least on to a new cycle after this one being a bit confusing. I rang the clinic (again) yesterday and they took my number and said they'd call me back (again). I'm not holding my breath. It's more annthan anything. I won't qualify for any assistance so it's not really holding us up as such but I'd like answers all the same

amy2503 · 15/06/2021 12:41

@Clairey844 yes definitely... I definitely think it makes a difference! I don't feel like it's gone to plan a few times this time round, I can't be 100% sure but yeah.
@Minster2012 how are you? I've so much to catch up on xxxxxx

Juno231 · 15/06/2021 12:47

@katao remind me what's going on with you? You're only a cycle behind me but are you having any investigations or anything? I can't remember

Minster2012 · 15/06/2021 12:53

Oh god I hate not hearing anything @Katao and having to be that annoying person 😫just keep pushing til they phone you back to get you off their back!

@amy2503 I'm ok thanks, plodding along after MC and hoping my cycles don't get screwed up! 🤞🏻

@Cheekymonkey3112 was it Father Christmas?? Off duty of course! And loving the sense of fun you pulling DHs trousers down & not even realising!! Yes there's many of us that know a BFP doesn't stop the worry I'm afraid 🌈

@polkadotpixie there's still time for a temp rise I think, don't write it off yet

@Dollybird89 you sound in a similar position to me! Not enough for a pad but seemingly there

@Clairey844 oh god that's a nightmare is he going to make do all the new plastering, he better had ffs. Our purchase of new house we are hoping to exchange this week but not heard more yet & aim to complete 30th June 😬& I had the survey of our current house last week & we passed with flying colours so hoping that continues to all be ok 🤞🏻😬

So I've just been shat on by a bird whilst eating lunch with DS that's for @Juno231 as it's good luck right?? 🍀

@Minster2012 thanks for the new bus I'm still watching over you all, got 6 days annual leave now 4 of which I'll be relaxing by the sea so hope to keep more up to date for now ! Definitely good luck having a bird shit on you 😂

@notyetamumbuttrying I said it on Instagram but I'll say it again congratulations!!😁🥰❤️ finally! Another OG😁

Katao · 15/06/2021 13:05

@Minster2012 taking one for Juno 🤣

@Juno231 had day 3 and day 21 bloods with gp a couple of times with mixed results , referred but appointment postponed then rescheduled. Had more blood tests, hsg, internal and OH had SA. Was supposed to be called back in April to discuss results. Heard nothing and getting nowhere when I ring as only get a receptionist and no on ever gets back to me! I think they've completely lost my file or something! It's 8 months since I was referred ffs

Katao · 15/06/2021 13:11

And also good luck @Juno231 🤞

notyetamumbuttrying · 15/06/2021 13:12

Thank you so much for the congratulations ladies, it means so much!!
@Minster2012 it's defo good luck 😉
@Katao oh no that's absolutely awful! Do you think a complaint to PALS is in order if they don't call you back this time?
@lucyrp ooh enjoy your leave, sounds nice by the beach 🏖

Cheekymonkey3112 · 15/06/2021 13:22

@Minster2012 🤣 I should have told him that!! I wasn't quick enough. I could have got a good few days of good behaviour from that. Darn!!! 😂😂 yes you're so right!!

Katiekattty · 15/06/2021 13:24

@Minster2012 in my home country a bird pooping on you means you’re pregnant. It’s very very apt for this thread.

Minster2012 · 15/06/2021 13:37

Oooo @Katiekattty I mean I'll Def take it then!!

@Cheekymonkey3112 img yes there was a good couple of days bribery there!! Loooook Santa's watching you kid better be good 🤣my next door neighbour says she's already had to start threatening the big man wont come this year & it's only June 🤪

larrythelizard · 15/06/2021 14:00

Just waiting @Clairey844 - will test Sunday if no show before then. Busy week so easy to distract myself!

Shit timing @Dollybird89 but good that it's shorter!!

Enjoying the stories @Cheekymonkey3112!

Wow that is seriously quick work on your house @Minster2012 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

That's a joke @Katao get on their case!

Ooooooooh what if @Katiekattty is right @Minster2012 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Katao · 15/06/2021 14:13

@notyetamumbuttrying & @larrythelizard I know it's shocking isn't it but I only started chasing up a few weeks ago in a sort of don't want to make a fuss way 🙈😂

Cheekymonkey3112 · 15/06/2021 14:17

Hahaha I would definitely have bribed him with father Christmas if it worked, DC has no fear of consequence and laughs much to my frustration 🙈

Can I ask you ladies what supplements/vitamins you take?

I'm taking Pregnacare Max, Vitamin C and an extra Folic Acid tablet. I nipped out earlier to buy tampons sad face and picked up CoQ10. I took that after my MC so not sure if it helped conceive DC1 or not but I may as well give it another bash. Anything else you ladies recommend?

Minster2012 · 15/06/2021 14:18

@Katao I think you should definitely be chasing in a "I want to make a big fuss" kind of a way 🤣🤪

@Katiekattty which country btw?

@larrythelizard it was quick work, I think it will be just less than 10 weeks from offer to completion, I'm the kind of "I want to push to get things done" kind of annoying woman 🤣it would be great on the bird poo but I think it just saw an easy target 🙄but maybe I could send it your way?

OP posts:
Minster2012 · 15/06/2021 14:20

@Cheekymonkey3112 ha ha laughs to your frustration I get that!! I take coq-10, vitamin c, pregnacare, krill oil, blood flow tablet (I have sticky blood), vitamin d and evening primrose oil upto ovulation. Also drink one glass of golden grapefruit juice from CD1 to OV, and a glass of pomegranate juice per day through cycle. But I've only been ovulating for one cycle which we caught on 🤣😂but I wasn't ovulating before and I do think a lot of this has helped

OP posts:
larrythelizard · 15/06/2021 14:25

Stop being polite @Katao - you deserve a follow up as much as anyone else that's on their waiting list!

Woman after my own heart @Minster2012 😉

Katiekattty · 15/06/2021 14:30

@Minster2012 Jamaica. I remember a bird pooped on me in high school and my mum looked at me twice like you better not be pregnant. We’re hoping to accept an offer on our house this week and put in an offer on one we like. I wish stupid estate agent would hurry up and send over the paperwork.

InkyPaper · 15/06/2021 15:13

I'm so so late to the bus but omg @notyetamumbuttrying!!!🎉🎉🎉 CONGRATULATIONS!!! I'm so happy for you!!!! 🎉🎉🎉

Juno231 · 15/06/2021 15:26

@Minster2012 haha makes me think of dear old Adrianoska - quick scoop it up and smoke it!

@Katao omg please chase them and threaten with a formal complaint if you don't hear anything!

Last stage went well I think! They didn't say anything about my big salary demand and in fact asked if I'd expect them to compensate me for my current share scheme as well as I'd lose it if I leave. All bodes well I think - let's see if I get an offer!

Kirky658 · 15/06/2021 15:29

@katiekattty all the times I've been to Jamaica and I didnt know that 😂🇯🇲

@minster2012 so you could say you're having a sh*t day? 😂 Exciting news on the completion date, we completed on 30th June last year!

@katao keep chasing the swines, you're entitled to your follow up, assholes

@cheekymonkey3112 hehe your story made me giggle, welcome to the madhouse 😂❤️
