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

🤞🏻💓😘🥳🙌🏻

@Haiyaa I’ll be watching it on weekends, they’re not really brothers, I prefer the dark side

@Haiyaa thank you!! He is some boy that's for sure ha ha!! Jealous of your date night this weekend!! Sounds delicious, I do love some good grub 🤤

@Minster2012 the plan is to job hunt during maternity leave or possibly return back for the minimum amount required to prevent me having to pay back. It's been easier working from home as I don't have to see my annoying boss every day 😅 my 3 work besties either quit/were made redundant during the pandemic so it will be quite sad when I have to go back in to the office as none of them will be there. Most of my team (who're under a different manager, annoyingly) already worked from home before COVID so I'm hoping that they will allow me to stay home most of the time until I finish up for maternity leave 🤞! My boss would always prefer everyone he manages to be in so he can play up his boss role and micromanage 🙄

@Cheekymonkey3112 Nice to see another newbie on the bus 😊 I only joined last cycle, this is cycle #2 TTC #2 for me. I'm also a big fan of temping like @Juno231 and also happy to help with any questions. I did it for about 9 months when I was TTC my son so I think I'm fairly good at it 😂

I'm SO embarrassed tonight. My Mum was round and randomly decided to use my upstairs bathroom instead of the downstairs loo (which she never does)...of course I'd left my morning OPK and Conceive Plus lube on the side. I think it's safe to say she now knows we're trying 🙈 I fronted it out and didn't say a word even though she'd obviously seen them but aaaagghh, just hoping she doesn't tell my annoyingly super-fertile sister!

@polkadotpixie I was always frantically hiding anything TTC related before anyone visited! It's a relief to not have to bother now 😅 the one good is maybe it means you won't ever get any comments now asking when she's getting grandkids? haha

Heyyyy ladies!! Sorry I've been awol...had so much going on with dd suddenly turning into a threenager and having anger problems! All whilst trying to keep my anxiety down and get on with work lol!

@notyetamumbuttrying I'm soooo chuffed for you lovely!!! 22 months and worth the wait right? high five congratulations!! Xx

@Minster2012 good to see you back at the steering wheel busting those quirky bright coloured sunglasses...with daisy's in your hair just showing us all how to live your best life! How are you doing???

@Tornado2Inc I have been keeping up with your stories on insta!! Im so happy for you!! I knew I could see something at 6dpo!! Congratulations lovely xx

Welcome to the newbies! I'm 11wks and 1 day now... begun to show a little bump! But anxious for my scan on 29th June! Hoping everyone is doing well?? Any other big news?? Oh I missed @Vil10, I hear your back on the ttc bus??? Wahooo xx

@polkadotpixie *more grandkids even 😅

AAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA @polkadotpixie that is both mortifying and hilarious 🤣🤣🤣

I had my sister and her family to stay a couple of weeks ago and luckily remembered to grab all my OPKs and pregnancy tests out of their bathroom 😂 interestingly that is the weekend we conceived!

@larrythelizard I was at a party with Thor (Chris Hemsworth) way before DH when the first Thor movie came out. I kept looking at this gorgeous guy and I was like nah not even gonna go there he’s out of my league 🙈. I saw the press clippings the next morning and realised it was him. I could have at least gotten a photo 😂😂😂.

@Hopeful110 I’m 11 weeks tomorrow, I definitely have bump now. I also have bloating and the two combined makes me look 6months.

Hahahaha @polkadotpixie thankfully no one else goes in our en suite!!

Great story @Katiekattty you deffo go to more interesting parties than I do!!

Hello, can I join??

I’m only on cycle 3 TTC first baby but would be great to be able to chat to you ladies for a bit of distractions! I’m currently 2DPO so just at the beginning of the dreaded 2WW!

Trying to think of an embarrassing story for my bus ticket… I’m not easily embarrassed these days as I just tend to embrace it 😂 but I did fairly recently wet myself at work 😳 I’m sure people noticed as I couldn’t get changed but no one said anything luckily! Embarrassing to even admit that here so hope it’s enough! I now carry spare pants and tights in my work bag just in case 🤣

@polkadotpixie oh glad to have you to moan about my random temps to 🤣 you will be sorry you said that haha! I've had 2 declines in temp today and yesterday (either 8/9dpo or 9/10dpo) and a bfn so I think I'm out this month but praying for the best 🙏 I actually laughed out loud at that!!🤣 I also made a booboo last week at work when talking about having children and I said 'oh It's the trying I'm not enjoying' instead of 'didn't enjoy' 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ I couldve had the ground swallow me whole!!

@juniperandtonic hahaha!! That made me laugh 😂😂 couldve been worse and you couldve shit yourself I suppose, always look on the bright side haha 😝 I'm 9/10dpo but pretty sure I'm out this month with a BFN this morning, this afternoon and tonight ... because testing once isn't enough disappointment in one day.. even took an OPK for the hell of it too 😂😂 all negative. Xx

@DKDK123 thank you hun!
@Cheekymonkey3112 thank you too!
@Franklydear I missed Loki cos of the stupid football, will watch tomorrow lunchtime!
@larrythelizard haha 😛 they'll scan me in a few weeks and then if all good I go out into the general populist!
@Haiyaa haha gotta keep you guys on your toes don't I 😜
@Katiekattty omg 5k over, I'd be chasing daily too! Hope you get hold of someone soon!
@polkadotpixie eek!! She'll tell her won't she...mine would unless I said DONT 😂
@Hopeful110 hiya, thank you! So worth the wait, was quite long tho 😅 ooh scan is soon then, that's exciting! Nice that you're showing.
@Katiekattty omg you partied with Thor, majorly jel!! I need to move in your circles 😏
@JuniperAndTonic welcome! I'd say that's pretty embarrassing 🙈 🤣

@hopeful110 congratulations ❤ not long till your scan, although I bet the wait for it has dragged in xxx

@Cheekymonkey3112 oh wow yes that would have been much worse 😂 Also I’m glad to hear I’m not the only person addicted to peeing on sticks - I took 5 ovulation tests in one day last week my DH was like 🤔😂 I try to hold out as long as I can to do pregnancy tests but I just have the internet cheapies at the moment so it’s so easy just to keep doing them haha!

@becarefuloutthere thank you 🙈

@JuniperAndTonic I think POAS gives us some sort of control and that's why we do it, although once we do it we immediately regret it 😂😂 hahaha! I've not been telling DH when I've been ovulating as DTD then becomes forced so it can be quite hard sometimes to convince if he isn't in the mood or too tired. The Internet cheapies are just too easy to get 🤣 amazon prime and they are here next day haah! Xx

@feliznavidad2 ooooooo 6dpo hmmm, how long have you been off contraception?

@Franklydear you take as long as you like, especially with Thor 😉

@Cheekymonkey3112 oh we def don't mind a bit of TMI, I nearly replied to that lady who popped up at the beginning of the bus whinging about the title that I could have put a picture of the Greek yoghurt CM 🤪

@larrythelizard the cruise 😝😛

@Haiyaa a child free night boom! Might look up Dan smith

@Katiekattty oh god how frustrating def ask for someone else, ask for whoever the director is keep us updated 🤞🏻for the cash buyer. Tbh I wouldn't recognise most stars & def you & @Juno231 have far more exciting lives than us!

@2020mission that sounds reasonable and totally get wfh easier atm with both pregnancy & boss avoidance I remember you saying they wanted you in before

@polkadotpixie 🤣😂😝hhhhhhhhhhaaaaaa that's brilliant, maybe she doesn't know what they are?? When my parents came round (hell when viewers came round) I have to hastily hide A LOT of stuff and now friends can come round first thing to do is hide the piss pot 😝and @Haiyaa too!! Brilliant 😝

@Hopeful110 11 weeks wow! That's crackers (for us it's gone quickly, you I imagine not!) I'm ok thanks. Waiting on af after MC, my body's been fucking me around with some spotting I thought it would be here tonight 🙄

@JuniperAndTonic helllllo and welcome! Love that story & these girls know I basically weed myself at the end of the summer lockdown having got too drunk with a mate in the afternoon when in "an emotional state"!! DH had to undress me (which was when I thought it was clearly safe to wee!) and carry me to bed crying 🤣🤪

@Cheekymonkey3112 allll the POAS there 🤣

@Minster2012 that’s a great story 🤣 I also don’t mind a bit of TMI - I’m a nurse so think it comes with the territory really!! I can talk about things others would be horrified by without blinking an eye 🤣

@Minster2012 hahaha!!! Love it 😂😂😂 don't understand why it is too much for some people when she was clearly on a thread talking about sex, periods and surely all the things that go along with that??? 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ hahaha I know, I need to get a grip. I went to the toilet there to pee and contemplated doing another, I quickly sat down and peed before I spoke myself into it!!!!! I'm a nightmare

Hi everyone

Thank you lovely bus driver for another fantastic bus.

@notyetamumbuttrying woohoo I am so over the moon for you.

@Juno231 Goodluck with the new job I really hope you get it.

@Franklydear how are you? Xx

All ok with me back at work tonight after being signed off. I'm 22 weeks and it has not been the easiest but I'm ok.
I have developed an irregular heartbeat that they can't treat until she is here.

Hope everyone else is doing ok. Congrats to any BFP I have missed xxx

I need to follow your lead with the sitting quick before I think of POAS @Cheekymonkey3112 - hope you're not out, fingers crossed for you

@JuniperAndTonic fellow nurse 🙌🏻

@Minster2012 Stopped mid March, but have had regular cycles from errm 45 days post stopping the pill so this is my second cycle. Last cycle was ovulation at day 16 and period started bang on day 30... albeit intermittent spotting started at 9dpo

(I'm only 6dpo this cycle though.) 😬

Congratulations @DJmum83 - its lovely how many ladies and their bumps are still travelling with us 😊 obviously the place to be!

@DJmum83 oof you're lucky this isn't your first pregnancy or that kid would've ended up a solo child at this rate - that has NOT been an easy pregnancy for you, I'm so sorry!

@Minster2012 haha I forgot about that wee story - I also keep forgetting you were a recruiter! Is it true what they say about never accepting the first offer?

Speaking of weeing yourself - I totes sharted at the beginning of the year and was MORTIFIED. Luckily I was home alone but I was shook all afternoon about how my body had betrayed me 🤣. Literally had to change both knickers and leggings...

Just had to check what dpo I am as I had no clue - yay me for trying not to think about it :)

@2020mission and yes I've gotten to stage now with work that I'd actually rather postpone ttc for a bit than stay in this stupid team any longer. Can't stand the fact I've got three months notice though 😭
