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

@paintfairy it's so hard, but you are in the fertility process so you could just not bother TTC outside of that?

@Manifestingbaby @bez91 @Justanothercyster @Minster2012 @Kirky658 @Juno231 @larrythelizard @becarefuloutthere @InkyPaper @paintfairy Thankyou so much everyone, going to ring my gp first thing on Monday morning, didn't want to do it on OH's birthday but he's more than happy for me to, going to go armed with all info and not take no for an answer! I actually felt okay about it all, but we've ended up having a huge fall out with OH's best friend (the owner of the bitch we stud our dog out too), they owed us money and have said they aren't giving it us, I didn't get involved left it between the two men, until his fiancé messaged me this morning getting extremely personal, I'm so ashamed in them and disappointed and OH is out for a meal and drinks with his friends tonight (obviously the best friend won't be there), I just don't want this to ruin his birthday as well as the friendship that his friend has ruined!

@Minster2012 I think they'll be perfect times! I found I got my best result at around 11amish, but obviously everyone is different! Let me know what you get today!

@KiwiTTC1st congratulations! Very short ride, amazing!

@DKDK123 good for you! That's amazing!! Hope you're doing okay! Also, I'm doing the NC500 this year!!! Who else is doing it??

@Vil10 oh no what a shame about the friends. Just ignore the message you are better than that but it's horrible isn't it when stuff like that happens. I've done another OPK at 1pm & it was this so it's getting there 🙌🏻

@2020mission thank you for the advice on temping, I will continue but yeah that's why I gave up last time & hopefully still see some rise 🤞🏻or like you say a general pattern my temps are all over 36.50!

@vil10 that's really sad about your friends. As @minster2012 you're so much better than them and best to ignore it, and celebrate DH's birthday in style 😎🎉🎂

@paintfairy TTC is tough and relentless, only you know what's right for you but we're here with you 💕

@Juno231are you off trying completely or NTNP? New job will help for sure, have you got your offer agreed etc?

What a complete dick @Vil10 sounds like it'll be very hard to come back from that for his fiancé even if the blokes make up again.

OPKs deffo getting there @Minster2012.

@DKDK123 super brave of you! It's hard being forthcoming with struggles like TTC and MC. I'll say if someone asks but certainly not forthcoming, well done you! You're smashing the miles too!

@Vil10 how shitty of them! Sorry they've been like that 💕 hope everything has blown over/been forgotten about for DHs birthday

Grrrr felt sick all day, DH is pretty down about TTC which he never is. He knows about me feeling poo, darent' tell him about the BFN 🤦🏼‍♀️

@paintfairy I feel your pain. I'm wondering the same thing myself.

@Minster2012 its the fertility process that I don't know if I can be arsed with. Umpteen trips to the hospital being able to not plan anything else at all. And feeling like shit in the mean time. Another 2 goes at that and I can't see me being up for ivf at all. I just feel like my life is on hold
@Somatronic crap isn't it. Hugs xxx
@Vil10 funny about friends and money. You can never trust anyone! But what crappy timing as well. Arseholes.

@DKDK123 fuck sake, darling...
@Minster2012 setting the trend!
We went out today and ate in an actual restaurant, with other people there, imagiiiine
Boobs are killing me today, tummy very tight, I might test tomorrow, just to see a single line and wait for af

@Vil10 I hate people, they always disappoint.... rubbish timing too

@franklydear 🤞🤞🤞

@Kirky658 it would be funny to have the wrong dates again for confusing the bleeding with af again....but unlikely

@KiwiTTC1st Congratulations on the BFP!

@Vil10 Sorry it was a BFN I was absolutely convinced this cycle and seeing that BFN was shit, some months are harder than others. This was only cycle 2 this time round for me and I know I need to put it in perspective but I had a year of BFNs last time and really don't want to go through that again as I didn't deal with it very well mentally

I've allowed myself to wallow a bit for the last 2 days and now I'm back on it. Start my new job tomorrow (same department so it's straight away) and I've ordered some more Ubiquinol and Conceive Plus. I'm going to go for a walk once DS is in bed, paint my nails and list some crap on eBay. I'm determined to be productive and not obsess like last time

@bez91 it's tough for the Men too, I think we need to remember that, they can feel used then also wonder what we are all doing wrong, are you just gonna tell him you will wait for AF?

@Franklydear how was the restaurant, sore boobs & tight tummy aside?

@paintfairy the two rounds of IUI could work though. I know it's really prescriptive and I felt exactly the same last year. It was always either on the drugs for ivf or coming off them then waiting fir AFs to get going again/MC/on drugs, gearing up it was EVERYTHING. It's mentally draining but you are on the right path & you gotta be in it to win it was my thoughts. But it is hideous. @Somatronic the feelings are there each month too, I can imagine the pain

@polkadotpixie being productive sounds great and awesome on starting the new job already 🙌🏻but it's ok to be upset

@paintfairy you're almost there, what's another 2 cycles? 😬

@Minster2012 I second the others and would avoid FMU for opks as it tends to be diluted for LH. My 11am wee is always my strongest I think!

@larrythelizard I think stop completely. I don't want to risk starting the new job pregnant in case they then make me fail probation 🙊

@vil10 wtf why do people do this crap?! How is it worth losing friendships over and have they got no shame??

@polkadotpixie it's definitely OK to be sad! Glad you've got the new role to help occupy you as well though. Ps we had great success with conceive plus!

I've been laid up with a horrible headache l afternoon today 😥 hardly wanted any dinner and just want to sleep. Blehhhhh

Bastard @Juno231 - that is all - shouldn't be how it works but agree that it completely does!

@Juno231 @larrythelizard it's shit isn't it but yeah I totally agree it's just not worth it as you'd be screwed otherwise. I shall try around 11am 🤞🏻

@Kirky658 have a sleep, I mean it's nearly bedtime right? Mind you, you are pretty pregnant so past bedtime 🤣

@Minster2012 the first sit down Nando's in two years, we had one take away last year in Salisbury, even ds only needed to be on my phone until the food arrived, and no headphones

@Minster2012 honestly today I felt so shit about it mainly for OH but we're over it, if that's the type of people they want to be we're better off without👋🏻 definitely getting there!! 🤞🏼 for peak tomorrow!!

@Kirky658 absolutely!! It'll be so nice to chill tomorrow and have a drink!

@larrythelizard that's what I said, I mean I can't see them making up but if they do I won't be speaking to her after this, I don't need people like that!x

@bez91 thanks lovely! He's out with friends tonight then we're celebrating tomorrow, I can't wait!!x

@paintfairy you're so right, definitely learnt a lesson to never get involved with friends when it's to do with money!!x

@Franklydear hahahaha me too girl, we've learnt that generosity gets you nowhere! 🤞🏼 for you testing tomorrow!!

@polkadotpixie they are, some months you just know af will arrive but others you just convince yourself, I try not to let myself get carried away too much now because 14 months of BFN is just disappointing😂 giving yourself time to wallow is definitely important, glad you're feeling better now though, you've got this!! Good luck tomorrow x

@Juno231 apparently not, they should be ashamed of themselves and embarrassed! I'm over being annoyed about it, people get greedy and forget who their friends are!

Big things tomorrow too ladies, @clolo your egg collection how you feeling?

And scan fir @blackcurrantqueen - it will show a lovely healthy alien 🤣🤪

Why can't I type FOR?? I can't even correct it my fingers are so dumb 😆

@minster2012 had an hours nap earlier, sadly didn't improve it any, so now headed to bed and DH working on lesson planning downstairs 🙄

@clolo @blackcurrantqueen exciting days for you both tomorrow eeeee ❤️ wishing you both all the best xx

@clolo @blackcurrantqueen ahhh wishing you both the best for an exciting day tomorrow!!
