Getting ready for baby challenge

And a bit of liquid but not blood.

TMI alert 😝

Significant brown clots. Not AF, definitely not - I think this is the very old clearing the way for new fresh womb lining!

Okay.. mooncup time

I know.. we are trying to stay firm but kind! She's even worse with DH to be honest. She's gone to sleep now so I think she must have been exhausted by lazing around all day

I guess it is like having a toddler! awhhh Grumpy I don't evny you hun... does she do the same when DH asks her? Don't feel guilty though she is just a whole bunch of hormones and giving her responsibilities like helping cook is good for her

Sorry everyone I think I missed the boat yesterday with my first Monday report! I did weigh myself, just forgot to post. I was 10st9.2lb yesterday morning which was less than I thought I would be.
My plan is the get back into running during January and do the 30 day shred in February ready to come off the pill at the beginning of March.
I went for my first run in 2 months last night and today I ACHE!!!!!

It's actually like a toddler. Please can you help cook? Tears. Please get dressed. Tears

She's so stroppy for no reason then I tell her off she cries and I feel guilty
I can't win

Oh no Grumpy have a rant on here love xxx

Well guys dry January is not getting off to a good start as I have a pre teen who is severely testing my patience I reached for the red wine with dinner tonight..

Red i think because mini pill you don't have a break it can take a long time for your AF to come back... this is probably so gross but have you had a feel around for CM sometimes if AF is coming you can tell very easily that way!

Wiggley have you thought about telling someone just so it's easier to hide from everyone else?

Grumpy keep us updated when you check the mooncup? That reminds me I saw on another thread someone used a mooncup to try and hold sperm up near the cervix after DTD! Seems like a genius idea to me! Also thanks hun! Me and DH have always been very open and honest and are prepared. We have also both agreed we would like to adopt if we are unsuccessful on more than one occasion but I think everything will be fine and stating positive envisaging a healthy happy bump lol

Theres I hope they will be able to take your implant out no problems. How long have you had it in for?

Ooh exciting times theres! How long have you had the implant for? Fingers crossed for a quick return for your metabolism. I've just had a chocolate binge! So sad with myself

Confused fingers crossed you get the all clear with the first one, sorry that must be so stressful

Yep it's a mini pill I was on the same one. No break, no oestrogen. It's a high dose progesterone only pill that suppresses ovulation and thickens cervical mucus.

Will check mooncup tonight and find out if this is real AF or more randomness for now.. never thought I'd be eager to get a period! Good luck red to you too!

red I'm jealous of your will power! I'm trying my hardest not to shout out that we are soon ttc, I have no idea how hard I will find it when we are actually trying/conceive!
Theres what a great facility to have! I think even I would find it hard to make excuses in that situation. I have failed on the exercise front today. We had an INSET day so lots of sitting around and very little steps achieved. Although I am celebrating my self control over the lunch time buffet. There were so many goodies but I kept on thinking about that baby body!

had not has*

Confused I believe Cerelle is a Mini Pill - i'm not clued up on what differences are, except i has no monthly break with it.

TMI here, but my wipes today have been slightly dis-coloured, maybe AF is on its way! What has my life come to?! I'd never have checked my tissues before joining MN

I'm definitely not telling anyone we are TTC, & will wait until i can't hide it any longer to tell people when we do conceive! I'm pretty good at keeping secrets

Red was Cerelle a minipill? Did u have monthly breaks with it? We tried the whole condom thing and it worked for maybe a month lol... i could never do a sex ban though! Also I am feeling much better thanks i'm just not sure what is wrong with MIL sometimes!

Grumpy I completely get the waiting to tell people bit! We will have to wait until at least 12 weeks anyway as I am high risk at making babies with Neural tube defects and they can tell then which can mean the baby has to be aborted But hopefully we will be in the all clear and even then I am not sure when we will spill the beans!
I did not realise DD Grumpy was 11! I bet she is really excited because she will be able to be hands on etc

Theres you are so lucky to have a gym in your building! If I didn't have to go far I would actually go to the gym lol

I've also been on the pill for most of my adult life so no idea of natural cycle really.. may get the fertility monitor out next month if still no AF.

Sorry for confusion pony I'm not pregnant - the secret is just that we are TTC! Don't want family speculating etc.

I keep forgetting you are in Dubai TimeForTea ! That sounds amazing, my DP would love that haha.

I have just seen a couple of PA's and they have signed up too so i won't be a loner at least.

Ohhh jealous! I need to dig the recipe out and make it now TimeforTea !!

My work has a small gym (I work at a uni) and they have just emailed saying they are offering 2x free 20min circuit training sessions a week before work for January. I have signed up. Sigh.
