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
& minstermusings on insta - some of our ladies have made special anonymous accounts so we can link up via me 🥰
If you want to sign up & get updates please do, please note your username if you comment shows up to others so maybe make it anonymous I won’t be offended 😂🤣(unless you are mean)

Story so far...

June 24 BFPs
July 11 BFPs
August 18 BFPs
Sep 4 BFPs
Oct 7 BFPs
Nov 7 BFPs
Dec 14 BFPs
jan 7 BFPs
February 8 BFPs
March 5 BFPs
April 5 BFPs

@Somatronic technically you can do it any time of the cycle as long as you're having protected BD? So def enquire anyway!

@Dollybird89 within half an hour each day - although if you eg want to sleep in on weekends you can use a bbt adjuster online for it. Fan won't affect it and I use fertility friend app wise :)

larrythelizard · 28/06/2021 10:53

I have no experience of these things @Juno231 but my inclination would be to try and keep it all going but slowly? Have you handed your notice in now?

@Somatronic the thing I hate the most about TTC is the lack of control so I get it. 💕

At least you can put it to the back of your mind again now @Franklydear and get on with life for a bit.

@Dollybird89 temping deffo helps, I think I'll start again on it next cycle, i found it really annoying last cycle to not know when AF was really due.

DS nursery shut this week so have finally signed up to Disney+. Done Toy Story 4 this morning and now introducing him to Lion King...!

My interview has been moved to Thursday which makes this week much easier!

paintfairy · 28/06/2021 11:04

@Somatronic it's really frustrating isn't it. Why do bodies not behave?
@Franklydear sorry about the bfn.
@Kirky658 raining here too!
@Juno231 I wouldn't fill it in if you aren't sure you can go if they offer it. You definitely don't want to start again!

I've called the clinic. They'll call back if they can fit me in. Let's hope they can or this will drag on forever. It'll have taken me a year to bloody get 3 iui cycles out the way. 🙄 She did ask could they not fit me in before (obviously looked when I last had it) so hopefully they will this time. The 3rd one I'm less hopeful about.....

@paintfairy here's hoping they can fit you in 🤞
@clolo eeeee how exciting!

becarefuloutthere · 28/06/2021 11:30

@clolo such an amazing haul! Hopefully lots will fertilise too! How you feeling?
@paintfairy I'm glad you called up, hope they fit you in! 🤞🏾
@larrythelizard sounds like a good day, best of luck for Thursday!

larrythelizard · 28/06/2021 11:31

🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 @paintfairy, if you don't ask you don't get!

@clolo great haul, well done!!

Minster2012 · 28/06/2021 11:42

@Somatronic good that's frustrating, can you get them to book it fir the week the doc is ack and if still no AF then rearrange? Get something in the diary at least. Easier with that than builders!

@Juno231 ahhh half an hour each day? You might need to tell me about the online adjuster as mine have been within an hour🙄I'm following @Dollybird89's questions!! On the ivf def fill it out and get the hall rolling but maybe leave til next week then at least it gets you a week, it's much easier to surely start the process & eek it out?

@Dollybird89 we can be temping clueless together but it's not a bad idea to try and get a handle on things?

@clolo wow that's fantastic 🥳🙌🏻 god everything crossed for the fertilisation it's a nerve wracking time

@paintfairy you might not need the 3rd time! Really hope they can fit you in, hang in there lovely

@larrythelizard soooo jealous of you watching Disney! I am contemplating asking relatives to get Disney plus for DS fir his birthday present or does that just make me a shit parent 🤣

I did the 11.30 OPK wee, still high fertility flashing smile on CB this morning but maybe?? What do you ladies think of this???
Got a bit of ewcm too after it came for sat then disappeared 🤣😂honestly what the flip are our bodies doing?? Totally distracting from boring work

I think peak is imminent @Minster2012! Looking good!

We've moved on to yoga for toddlers...today would be more fun if it wasn't for trying to work whilst doing this stuff!

Vil10 · 28/06/2021 12:34

@Minster2012 peak is definitely coming!! Get going🍆

Sorry ladies I'll catch up properly later, busy day today with OH's birthday, he loved his presents and breakfast, definitely taking our minds off shitty friends!! I rang my doctors, and she said everything im saying about our lifestyles etc is all positive, I'm going in tomorrow to pick up a swab for chlamydia testing and the paperwork for my blood work, she said I need to book in for my bloods 7 days before my period is due, so obviously that'll be 3 weeks away now, but I'll book that when I pick the stuff up tomorrow, I'm excited to get the ball rolling now!! Everyone have a lovely day, I'll try and pop in every now and then❤️

paintfairy · 28/06/2021 12:46

@clolo wow that's amazing! Fingers crossed for you!

Kirky658 · 28/06/2021 12:57

@vil10 that's great that they've got the ball rolling so quickly, enjoy your day today xx

Minster2012 · 28/06/2021 13:02

@Vil10 that's great get it started! 🙌🏻hope you & OH have a lovely day

Now of course I can't focus on NOT having a wee to last til later. All i can think of is weeing

@larrythelizard multitasking sucks and sucks worse hairy balls with a toddler . This is me currently

Yay @Vil10 that's good that everything is moving!

Yaaaaas. As long as you DTD today and tomorrow you're covered 🤞🏼

@clolo so exciting! 🤞🏼✨

@larrythelizard ah is that because of covid?

@Somatronic lots of hugs and hand holds and wine and chocolate. You can do this x

@Juno231 omg that's so exciting! As for timings, I have no idea what to suggest :/ I'd be too impulsive and just do it all!

Juno231 · 28/06/2021 13:18

@vil10 try and get that day 21 at 7-9dpo in case your LP is short enought that 7 days before period is due makes it a stupidly early test. Yay for getting the ball rolling!

@Minster2012 yes an hour equates to 0.1C temp difference so it does have an impact! @Dollybird89 I just use this temp adjuster whenmybaby.com/basalbodytemperature.php (well I used to, I know the calcs off by heart now!)

@larrythelizard I'm hoping to hand it in today but am still waiting for the formal contract! I hope they wont be dinosaurs and send it out by post...

I think I'll fill in the forms for some time in July. So ie getting the ball rolling but eking out as minster said. One of the questions is what my height and weight was 6 months ago and asks me to tell them a specific date that was "tested". Wtf? The NHS didn't even weigh me for general anaesthetic purposes for the lap!

Minster2012 · 28/06/2021 13:21

@Juno231 hmmm ok will look into that adjuster! Just make up a weight, sunilar to your one now, I guess they use it as an indicator of maintaining BMI? surely can't be that important?! How random!
