Getting Ready for Baby Challenge -Pt 2

Thanks orange. Glad the coil removal wasn't too painful!

Mummy sorry to hear you have a long day ahead. How do you find spending your days around pregnant ladies and babies when ttc? I'm not sure I'd be able to avoid feeling constantly jealous! Fx for next month for you!

No quiet day here for me... long day on delivery suite. AF still not full swing but almost... I'm a bit sad but glad the symptom spotting is over and I can move on to next cycle

Ahh sorry about that mummyme

Oh no unicorn for you, it's a great consolation!

jupiter I'm not sure I'm on board with the whole homeopathy thing, although I was looking up nutrition for enhancing fertility / conception. Some of my favourite foods on there - dark greens, almonds, asparagus - yum! Still, if it takes a long time TTC I will probably be trying all sorts of things.

The coil is out now - a bit uncomfortable but much easier coming out than being put in! The nurse was lovely too, really enthusiastic about me having a baby

Not actively TTC until next month as this month still a bit marginal whether I would get the good maternity pay. That said, I am in my fertile window and without contraception so it could happen! I read it is more like 3 months on average when having coil removed though (copper, not mirena).

Urgh! I feel awful today. Bad cramps, and generally miserable! AF not due till Wed, but feels like it will come early. :( Still, will be nice to be able to drink without feeling guilty!

Good luck with the dtd-a-thon Jupiter! Hope you enjoy! I think I'm going to try eod from next month. Will wait until after march, and if no joy I'll buy some opks!

Mummyme sorry about the BFN. If AF is on her horrible way then at least it can give some closure on the symptom spotting. Onwards to next month!

Seven great about the OPKs, fingers crossed!

Confused how was CB OPK today? Any flashing faces? I’m going to start mine on Monday.

Welcome to the madhouse tabby :)

Grumpy and MrsC its so lovely to hear you talking about your children. Made me feel a bit melty. Can’t wait to experience that kind of love.

All fine here, CD5 here, already going slowly. Starting our 5 day DTD-a-thon from Thursday (am sure you all want to know that!) DH is primed and ready to go apparently haha. Have decided to go to DTD-ing every other day from next month if it doesn’t happen this month.

Was talking to colleague at work about homeopathy yesterday and she recommended some remedies for enhancing fertility. I'm normally quite skeptical about that kind of thing (I'm a science-y person - I'm a nurse for gods sake) but worked well for me last year when had whooping cough so am thinking of looking into. What are you thoughts?

My amazon kit arrived today, I'm actually quite impressed for only £6! Going to start in the morning with my temp! And now I've got these OpKs I feel this weird urge just to pee on them 😂 I know exactly where you're all coming from now! The temptation just knowing they are there!! I'm so curious!

I'm sorry mummy! Have you got a lot on this weekend? Hopefully you can have a lazy one with lots of chocolate/duvets and movies!

I'm sorry mummy! 💜 💜

:( mummy sorry! 💐

So CD26 and AF is just about to bite me. Had brown discharge just now. Expect it in full swing tomorrow. Almost a relief from symptom spotting

Evening all! Busy day! Loving the clothes buzz!!

I've only bought vits so far, so not too much. But my first hpts arrived this morning... even though af is not due till the middle of next week. :s must resist testing!!!

Parsnips sounds like a good chat! :)

Hope people have nice weekends planned!

Mrs 7 is the best age isn't it!! I miss DD being 5-8 so much

Red and buzz have either of you experienced sore nipples at all since coming off cerazette? If you have, was that a normal part of your pre pill cycle? Mine have been so sensitive and painful for a week now.

Welcome tabby! Hope your cycles kick in soon. According to Ovia I can expect AF in 12 days. I'm on CD 17 I think.

Buzz those outfits are so adorable. Seriously gorgeous. Love yours too Grumpy. So lovely that you've kept it all this time.

buzz He's 7 now, and he's a lovely person! I love this age I have to say!
grumpy how cute! I have some bits stashed away too that I couldn't part with!

Awh grumpy that's so lovely!

mrs, I think boys are lush! How old is yours? :)

Everyone always wants a girl, me included! But then I have the loveliest boy ever who melts my heart everyday so boys are just as good!

So damn cute! Here is DD's first ever piece of clothing which I have kept for 11.5 years:

i know! I really would love a girl! But DH really wants a boy! I think I'd love a boy actually, and would still dress him in Peter Pan collars!!
I have no preference really, just a happy, healthy bubba that doesn't take too long to conceive!!

Omg buzz they're so cute. I like the fabric.... Girls are so much more fun to dress than boys! There's hardly anything for them!!

buzz Omg too frickin cute!!!

Sorry for ignorance- are Day 21 bloods for something in particular? Hope you feel better mrs

Parsnip im so glad you spoke to dh, he sounds like a good un xx

Here we are girls what do you think??? 😍😍😍😍
