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

🤞🏻💓😘🥳🙌🏻

Congratulations @notyetamumbuttrying !!!! 🥳🥳🥳

Thanks for setting up the new bus @Minster2012 as always you are mega organised! This will be the third time of being on the bump list for me on this bus 😬 hopefully this is the start for AF for you (always the outside chance of implantation bleeding?!) and you can get cracking on the next cycle - my first AF after mc I was celebrating! Def good luck on the bird poo 🍀

I've just booked myself a very early scan at 5+6 on 26 June as I can't handle the uncertainty. EPU are also going to scan me the following week at 6+6. Just need to hold on for 11 days...

@Haiyaa yay for nausea!

@Cheekymonkey3112 sorry to hear about your previous mcs. It took us 6 cycles to conceive after my last chemical, hopefully this next cycle will be it for you! However I also got a BFN on 10 DPO and 11dpo (and 7, 8 and 9 😬) but got a BFP at 12 dpo so you might not be out yet! I've also had 4 previous early losses.

@Katao that is shit, can you make a complaint? Or just be relentlessly calling them so they can't conveniently forget you?

@Juno231 well done on the interview! All sounds positive. When will you hear back?

@Katao please make an almighty fuss! You're entitled to good care like everyone else who pays into the system. Don't do yourself down!
@Katiekattty oh hi 👋🏾 my family are from Barbados, will ask mum about that one, see if it's the other islands too. We're going through a house move too! Got the valuation done on Monday and eagerly awaiting the results! Hope you get the paperwork soon!
@InkyPaper aww thank you lovely 🥰
@Juno231 omg mate, you're smashing it!! 👏🏾
@Amy00 thank you!!
Ooh 11 days, you can do it!! We'll all have everything crossed for you! 🤞🏾

Congratulations @Amy00 ❤❤ hopefully the next 11 days flys in. Thanks for your positive story, although my BBT chart isn't looking very promising. It's got a downhill line and it's going downhill rapidly haha. Although I am new to temping so not got a clue if I've done it right and also only been doing it for a week so God knows.

If anyone has some temping tips then hit a gal up 😂

@Cheekymonkey3112 @Juno231 is the chart queen!

Oh and I've changed my username peeps -was notyetamumbuttrying

Thanks @Kirky658 , I'm glad and a little bit sad to be part of the madhouse 🤣 why does every day of the month feel like a year?!

Oooo Jamaica @Katiekattty I've been there and it was amazing!! Looking at your mum asking if pregnant 🤣

@Juno231 that sounds fantastic well done lady! Don't forget you can always follow that up with an email along the lines of "it was a pleasure to meet you again & find out more information; the more I have been part of the selection process the surer I am that I can be a valuable asset to both the team (insert more info if you know like "under X whom I very much enjoyed meeting with") and (insert company) as a whole.

Etc etc

@Kirky658 it's actually a decent day other than that...DS playing nicely on the sun and I'm (doing f all) oh other than him picking up and smashing a terracotta pot on the patio 🤣maybe we should all get to Jamaica?!! Stand under a bird??

@Amy00 I totally don't blame you on the scan, it's not long & we'll get you there 🤞🏻

@becarefuloutthere obviously you name change when I've just added you to the bump list 🤪

@Cheekymonkey3112 I couldn't get on board with temping in the same way as it couldn't get on board with me having drinks at the weekend. During lockdown /shielding with toddler & dogs post MMC it was necessary to have wine & therefore NOT temp, not others are better than I am 🤣😂

@notyetamumbuttrying good old nhs! There's hope for me yet then!
@larrythelizard it isn't straight because neither is my arm!
@Juno231 which is likely why it hurts so much.
I've literally spent all day in the fracture clinic. The upshot is- my arm is fucked and now I've got to wait for it to be operated on. They call you. Try to do it within 2 weeks. I mean- 2 weeks? Wtf. So it's getting worse before better. And more delays to my iui! 🙈

@cheekymonkey3112 bless you, you are in good company with us all ❤️🙏 however full disclosure I'm part of the bump brigade so will regale you with tales of pregnancy woes!

@minster2012 glad you're having a nice day aside from that!

I am so so so bored at work, literally nothing to do, it is deadly quiet. Now the rules has been extended it is unlikely they'll let people go abroad any time soon so I'm sorta twiddling my thumbs...

@Cheekymonkey3112 I've temped for 2 cycles previously, does my head in so no advice from me sorry. I find it stressful although I'll probably do a u-turn at some point and be back on it.

Bloodyhell @notyetamumbuttrying @becarefuloutthere what you playing at!? How confusing 😂

@Juno231 yesss sounds good

@paintfairy gosh that's no good 2 weeks! Are you in a lot of pain?

@Kirky658 make the most of it, get your feet up. I'm absolutely bombed out. Been stuck on 70 emails unread for 3 weeks just no office time 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Minster2012 hahahaha I love that 😂 but I didn't know it messed up if you have been drinking the night before. Maybe temping isn't for me too 😂😂😂 I randomly had a massive increase 2 mornings ago and then it's been dramatically decreasing yesterday and again today 🤷‍♀️

@Kirky658 congratulations!! How far on are you? I can get on board with pregnancy woes. As much as I am desperate to have another DC, I've got to say I didn't LOVE being pregnant. It was one big constant worry 🙈

@bez91 haha!! Yes I'm thinking ill do the same. It's a bit of a ball ache and all these things that can impact the temp is sending me doolally. 🤷‍♀️🙈

@notyetamumbuttrying you must let me know if that’s on other islands too. Still waiting on the estate agent. I’m getting slightly annoyed now. I’ve already started remodelling the house we want to put an offer in for in my head. I probably jinxed it.

@bez91 I'm trying to make the most of it and have my stealthy naps haha.

@cheekymonkey3112 I'm 27 weeks tomorrow. I go through phases of loving being pregnant and genuinely hating it 🤣

@Cheekymonkey3112 some ppl are great at it but not me! I mean it was at the point I wasn't ovulating so basically futile 🤣🙄

@lucyrp you better enjoy your time away, you deserve it gorgeous

@Kirky658 are ppl not rearranging things they had for July?

@paintfairy gosh - but at least they're doing it! I know a few people where NHS let their hands heal completely saying it was fine only for them to require private surgery to break the bones again and re-set them as the NHS let them heal badly.

@becarefuloutthere what an ominous name! Feels threatening lol

@amy00 I've got everything crossed this is it for you and oh my word your bumper list stat is so depressing :(:( They said I'd hear back very soon and def before the end of the week.

@Minster2012 dang you're good at the professional bs mumbo jumbo! thank you my dear.

@Cheekymonkey3112 I do love temping so feel free to DM me anytime lol. I genuinely get random people tagging me in BBT threads cause they know I love a good chart lol.

@Kirky658 oh you don't have toooo long left then! Do you know what you are having? Are you all organised? How exciting!!

@Minster2012 haha! Are you ovulating now? Sorry if you've said previously. X

@bez91 does hurt but I think once it's at a proper angle it'll be better. It's stuck like this.
@Kirky658 yeah the delay isn't good! It's just dragging on now.

@juno231 I'll DM you just now and give you a good laugh at my half arsed attempt x

@Juno231 mine doesn't look fine to a blind man. So I don't think they can pretend. 🤣

@Juno231 here's where I'm at 🤷‍♀️

@Juno231 the BS mumbo jumbo was my job my dear to get others big pay rises (where was mine?!) so I'm happy to help, it's all flouncy shit of course but if it makes you stand out from the rest then it could just give you the edge 🤞🏻😘

@Cheekymonkey3112 i d no idea on ovulation at the minute, basically I've had 2 years of 3 ivf attempts which ended in one MMC, a negative & am embryo which didn't survive the thaw, then got told that my egg reserves have bounced back (I was on 5 years of chemo) & we put the new fresh ivf off due to my second Covid jab & boom! That was my first ever confirmed ovulation at 36, and now I'm waiting for my first period after MC again (or not) as we are keen to continue TTC (never Been allowed due to my treatment). I have a nearly 3 year old who was carried by my best friend as a surrogate for us so that was ivf 1.

So yeah I'm just hoping I CAN ovulate again @Cheekymonkey3112 currently CD32 after my playing the "why am I spotting?" Game 🤣😂def think it's af but it's not proper started yet

@paintfairy omg that looks so sore! Don't walk out of the hospital tomorrow without more pain relief

@paintfairy eek that looks a right mess! goodness I can't believe they expect you to chill with that for two weeks...

@Cheekymonkey3112 Well you're potentially only 9dpo so I'm thinking the temp drop is a bit too early for AF unless you tend to have a short LP? So fingers crossed temp goes back up tomorrow. Did you have drinks on Saturday by any chance?

@minster2012 yep but I aren't dealing with those now I'm trying to get new business in, haha

@cheekymonkey3112 yep not too long at all! We've got most big things now. We are having a little girl 😍
