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

🤞🏻💓😘🥳🙌🏻

@vil10 keeping everything crossed 🤞
@lucyrp hope the GTT has gone OK hun, had mine weds, was vile. I was told I would get a call today if its positive, nothing yet so hopeful i have escaped!!!

Happy Friday all... 4 of our Caribbean destinations on the green list so mad day at work, first time I've been able to pick my phone up today!!

@Somatronic sorry about the progesterone results, that's a bit of a blow when I'm sure your hopes were up.

@paintfairy I'll join you with the spotting 🙄

@Minster2012 how was the opk? Things making sense?

@Clairey844 lovely to read you update, can't believe you are so close to due especially if you have gone early before. How are you feeling? I was just wondering about some of the OGs, there must be plenty of babies by now. Is blondepotter still with us?

@Juno231 I feel so periody today so I'm not feeling all that hopeful (but secretly am) stupid af!! Do you feel like she's going to arrive soon or not?

@Clairey844 that's so exciting!! I don't finish until the 16th but still not that long left, that's so good that you'll have that gone off too once baby is born!

@lucyrp how did it go?? Yes I think I'm going to write down my cycles since coming off the pill and how long they've lasted, how long af has lasted, length of my LP and so on

@Catherinettc hahahaha yes lady you keep those shut😂 Thankyou!x

@Minster2012 oooo no I haven't watched that, maybe I should?? Hahahaha opk piss pot in all its glory, love that

@JuniperAndTonic so sorry you think af is on her way!! Deffo have a drink, I'm a drink till it's pink girl, you won't do any harm x

@Somatronic sorry about the progesterone results lovely, sending hugs x

@Kirky658 Thankyou! I thought about you this morning when I saw those countries on the green list, hope it's not too manic for you!!

I've had such a busy day between work, went and did a shop for full English things for OH's birthday breakfast on Monday, got all our cheeses, crackers, wine for Monday night (if the tests negative at least I have that to cheer me up) and wrapping paper for his presents, just prepping my dinner now for tomorrow because I'm on a first aid course 9:30-3:30, absolute blag!! Also, out of interest, what is a good result for progesterone?

Ah thanks @Manifestingbaby, there's a FB group I'm on a lot of the OGs went over to but I'm crap at linking usernames here with who is who-SmileyT who was the driver early on is on there with her little boy who is already a few months old 😬
I'm feeling fine at the moment 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Vil10 you work in a school too don't you? I love and hate the end of term ha ha.

Maccers and sex sound like the dream @Minster2012

🤞🏼🤞🏼 for negative GTT @lucyrp. Greggs sounds a good reward!

Ooh interesting @Juno231, not saying anything else 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

I'd probably have about six @JuniperAndTonic!

What does that mean @Somatronic? Good? Bad?

Ooh exciting @Kirky658 this might make your last 7 weeks fly by!

@Vil10 hoping you're wrong!

We had to collect DS from nursery as one of the staff has tested positive so he's at home for the next 10 days. Ergh. He was fine this morning but now not well and has a temp - please no covid!!

@Minster2012 haha nope never ever again. I'm done 🤣🤣 xx

I got the job!!!

Just had slight brown tinged CM though so think AF may be on her way which is really disappointing given my symptoms and high temp. I actually felt a bit pregnant too

Might just test when I get home so I'm not in limbo waiting for AF to show. Should hopefully be accurate at 10dpo, even with afternoon urine

@Minster2012 the sand everywhere was a nightmare too 🤢

@Kirky658 yeah the drink wasn't great it was like flat chalky lucozade, yummy ...🤨 I have been told il get a call tomorrow afternoon either way so fingers crossed it's negative 😬 my first reading was 4.1 after fasting so hoping my second reading wasn't high 😬

@Vil10 it was okay I nearly fell asleep in the 2 hour wait though and they made me sit on the most uncomfortable couch, they did make up for it after by making me a sandwich and a cup of tea 😋 yeah definitely a good idea

@larrythelizard thanks I'm so nervous! Love a doughnut 😍

@Vil10 and @Manifestingbaby thanks a million

@larrythelizard it means I'm not ovulating. Last time I had it tested when I was on Clomid it was 40. This time it was less than 1.

Whoop @polkadotpixie well done!!!

🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 for a normal result @lucyrp

Oh wow ok @Somatronic that is shit

@paintfairy @Minster2012 yes MacDs and sex def teenage years. I always joke with DH about when we used to stay at his mums house as horny teenagers sleeping in his single bed and he used to treat me to a takeaway on a Friday night. The takeaway was called "paradise" 😂

@JuniperAndTonic absolutely drink a couple of bottles of Prosecco! Go for it!

@Somatronic sorry about your progesterone level, I hope you get some other proposals before August from fertility clinic

@larrythelizard oh frickinell, you don't need that, hope it's just a bug 🙏🏼. Just got back from our little break. I'll be surprised if we don't get pinged to isolate the amount of times we've eaten out 🤦🏼‍♀️

@lucyrp fingers crossed! They didn't give me any readings at all with mine just took my bloods and that was it! Hopefully all OK as still not heard anything 🤞

@polkadotpixie woop congrats on the job! Sorry about the possible sighting of AF though, that sucks 😕

@Manifestingbaby rubbish! 😔
@Somatronic sorry about your results.
@Minster2012 @bez91 we've got a takeaway called paradise 🤣 but I remember dates in McDonald's car park. Oh the glamour. But then I don't even get that these days! 😆
@larrythelizard oh no! Hopefully not.
@polkadotpixie good about the job! 🥳 not the CM though....

Tested. BFN 😢

Quick check in before going to pick DS up!

@Manifestingbaby well the OPKS are very gradually going up, bearing in mind I find it hard to not wee during the day I can see noticeable lines there now so I think you were spot on that my wiping was literally an AF and now on CD11 not CD 42, I started the CB tests today too so think you had it spot on that I'm on a new cycle but who knows if I'll ovulate. Like @Somatronic I'm in limbo & its shit. @Somatronic it's good you have a fertility clinic booked for august though & will have results to back it up, that will be a positive step even if you can't get your hycosy in before then. Def chase up the day 3 though when AF Comes. I'm with you and I know the horrible limbo feeling, much love

@Katao so on a scale of 1-10 how busy was today?? But other places were put on the green list right so do ppl want those?

@Vil10 omg your food sounds gorgeous!! On the progesterone over 30 means you've ovulated (my ivf clinic also want over 30 for transfer to go ahead so that's the day 21standard)

@larrythelizard maccas & sex good, picking DS up from nursery bad, 🤞🏻🤞🏻for you & him

@polkadotpixie well done on the job amazing!!! But booooo to BFN you need to celebrate though 😘

@lucyrp I fricking hate sand

@bez91 what's in a paradise takeaway out of interest?!

@paintfairy dates in mC Ds car park omg yes! But then again I liked the boys with cars 🤔🤭I'm alllll about that exhaust 🤣(was) def was!!

New hair!

@minster2012 omg. Love the hair it looks fab 😍

@vil10 awww bless you thinking about me lol, I assume Mexico is cancelled and sorted now?

@larrythelizard only 6 weeks to go now 😁😁😁

I announced my pregnancy news to my accounts at work today on my work Facebook profile and by email and the support and congrats has been immense ❤️

Thank you all for the advice re Prosecco - AF has started properly now so definitely will be having a few 🥂 I love the drink until it’s pink mantra - I don’t drink much really but like the occasional Prosecco or gin and tonic (if you hadn’t guessed!) so think I’ll carry on with an occasional drink until I get a positive test!

Told hubby my period and started and he looked super sad - have to remember TTC is tough for the men too!! 😔

@Vil10 your food for Monday sounds perfect - I love a good cheese and wine feast!

@Minster2012 your hair looks lovely, love the colour!

@polkadotpixie sorry for the BFN but well done on the job!

@lucyrp fingers crossed results are fine for you! 4.1 fasted sounds okay - not that I know much about the GTT but in our adult diabetic patients we’d treat anything under 4 as hypoglycaemic!

Hope everyone has a lovely Friday evening, signing off now to enjoy my evening and forget about TTC for a few hours!!

@Minster2012 looove the hair 🥰

@Vil10 Mondays food sounds great, what's the address ? 😂 I also want a POAS before Sunday please 😂

@Somatronic sorry you're having a bit of a shitty time of it, it sounds like you've got so much going on 💕

@larrythelizard oh bollocks! Have you got to swab DS again? So sick of it seriously!!

@lucyrp hope the GTT was ok, I had one last time as my DD was measuring a big belly! Apparently i may need one this time for that reason too...🤦🏼‍♀️ I really liked the drink though 😂

@polkadotpixie congratulations on the job!
Sorry about the BFN xx

@Kirky658 congrats on the work announcement!!

Laying low over here, 9 week scan on Monday so just trying to take one day at a time, I feel like my nausea has really decreased so that's making me extremely twitchy, so yeah.. here's hoping 🤞🏼💕 xx

I said to bestie boy at work that in the weekend I'll be looking at Loki, and he said I made a mistake I will be 'watching' Loki, no, I'll be looking at Loki, preferably without clothes, his face😂🙈

@Clairey844 yes kind of! It's mental isn't it, so crazy busy but so excited for the holidays!

@larrythelizard oh no!! How's DS??

@polkadotpixie congratulations on the job!! Lovely news! Sorry about possible af though and bfn, sendings hugs☹️

@lucyrp oh god I can imagine!! When will you get the results?

@Minster2012 i absolutely love a cheese crackers and meats board!! Ohh okay that makes sense, so I know what to look out for when I have mine! Absolutely love the hair by the way, gorg!!

@Kirky658 yep cancelled and we got a full refund including deposit within 8 days of it being cancelled!! I was so impressed!! Aw so nice that all your colleagues are so happy and supportive!!

@JuniperAndTonic yess me too!! So sorry about full flow, I also forget sometimes how hard it is for our OH's because mine doesn't show it and is always so positive!

@blackcurrantqueen hahaha I will make you a cheeseboard whenever you like! I was so tempted to get one from the petrol station on the way home whilst I filled up but I've drank so much and wee'd so much today my wee is clear and so diluted😂 I don't even have any tests in!! Understand your reasons for keeping low but keep going and good luck for Monday💗

@blackcurrantqueen ❤️

@vil10 woop woop that's great news, glad it is sorted and you got your refund.

Just been for a relaxing bath with DH... Come downstairs and the dog has eaten his leather watch strap. Little *er!!!!! Cue me having a hormonal pregnancy breakdown as it was the watch I got DH as a wedding gift 😡 now I am worrying he will need to go to the vets cue an expensive bill.... Why are things never easy

@Minster2012 hair looks fab! I so need to go.....
And yeah I did too. I used to hang out with the boy racers and even had a decent car myself. I met my first long term boyfriend through that. 🤣
@polkadotpixie sorry about the BFN.

@Minster2012 love your hair, it looks gorgeous 😍 paradise takeaway - nothing special; burgers, kebabs etc 😆

@blackcurrantqueen keep going 💪🏼 you got this 💕

Is it true what they say then @Minster2012 and @paintfairy .... big exhaust means little
🍆 ?

Shooting clitoris pains, is that a TWW thing? 😂 I've had fanny daggers regularly but not a shooting clitoris 😆

@larrythelizard il keep you updated 🤞🏼

@Kirky658 yay! Hoping for a boring phone call tomorrow, defo don't want it 😩

@Minster2012 me too, hate going to the beach for the day when you can't shower off. Loving the hair!😍

@JuniperAndTonic It was a 12 hour fast from 9-9 really hoping that its negative when they ring tomorrow 😩

@blackcurrantqueen the drink tasted chalky to me🤢🤣

@Vil10 tomorrow afternoon! Eeek

@bez91 definitely not true what they say. OH has a big exhaust on his old car and defo not small 🍆😉😂

@bez91 agree with @lucyrp - not true in my experience. 🤣
