Getting Ready for Baby Challenge -Pt 2

Told doc last month I was ttc and she suggested getting them done to check all was OK re hormone levels etc even though no reason why it shouldn't be, and checking for any vitamin deficiencies, thyroid etc as hadn't had bloods done in years so she said it was as well to get them done!

Mrs what are you having bloods done for?

parsnips love the new name!
confused haha bd on the floor.. That takes me back!
red eek something is definitely afoot!
tigger feel better, load up on vitamin C!
seven enjoy hiking! I love it, it's therapeutic and social, pretty much the only exercise I like!
CD 20 today.... CD21 Tomorrow, having day 21 bloods done in the morning even though I'm not 7dpo I'll be only 5 but from googling I think it'll be ok! Dreading the needles! Not a sniff of a fake symptom to spot, even ovia isn't bothered to excite me with her annoying tidbits!

Red I think you're almost there wohoo exciting!

Grumpy - the tesco tests are exactly the same. I had a fleeting skinny blue line when I tested last weekend which then disappeared. I'm definitely not pregnant so must just be a feature of the way the test is made.

Confused sorry to hear you've been feeling low. Is it the arsehole ex again? Maybe it is sugar withdrawal! Anyway hope you're feeling a bit brighter now.

Finewords love the new name!

All good here, CD3, this month is dragging already hmmm...

woohooo!!!

Hope you feel better Tigger the lurgy is horrible

FineWords enjoy your lay in, everyone deserves one at times

Oh tigger I hope you feel better soon. How annoying being woken so early!

I def think that OPK looks positive! You know what to do!

Red I would say defo ovulation get baby making!!!

I've got the dreaded lurggy couldn't sleep finally drifted off around 2:30 then the fing smoke alarm went off at 4:15!!!! Managed about 3/4 hrs in total.

On a positive note cleared loads of my work emails and sorted stuff on my to do list while I couldn't sleep so means I can have an easier day today.

Want to be better by this weekend as we have friends to stay- felt under the weather for weeks (I put it down to pg symptoms evidently I just had a bug)

Red the line on the left looks darker for sure

Hello ladies (it's me - theres, I've had a little name change). How is everyone doing? My weekend officially begins in just over an hour. Can't wait to be off - going to have a big lie in.

Thought AF was here yesterday but was a false alarm.

Ohhhhh is my OPK positive today?

Frustrating isn't it

I am feeling really strange but i think it's the remains of the short horrible stinking cold i had

Yes red I did a pink dye 10miu sensitivity test this morning and was negative. 95 per cent sure I'm not pregnant at this point.

Morning everyone!

I thought i had started AF in the middle of the night, but i hadn't, just wetness. I hate not knowing what is going on!!

grumpy have you tried a different test recently if the sainsburys one did that?!

seven you'll may actually feel really good after a long walk, relaxed and refreshed - i always do after a long run!

Tempted to take the unused test apart to see if that line is already there

Morning ladies. CD31 post pill. Lots of watery/lotion like CM. so much I thought it was AF when I felt it come out. Checked cervix think medium / high, firm, closed, posterior. Terribly weepy. Nipples still sensitive.

BFN this morning on a pink dye test.

FYI - and not to dash your hopes mummy as you had an obvious line, but I did a SAINSBURYS blue dye test last night which is NOT an early test and I thought I saw a shadow of a vertical line so I actually took the test apart and there was a clear, thin, sharp blue line!! It looks like those tests have a preset positive line that the dye then sticks to more to create a thick line iyswim. Sorry I didn't take a pic! I have another one so will try again at weekend and show you all. Very bad manufacturing if that is indeed the case!!

Hey all,

Cd23 here...this one feels like a very long one. No positive opk yet but because of work I've found them quite difficult to do at a sensible time! Ovia recons this should be my fertile week tho so going to try and dtd tonight...

Having a manic week and absolutely knackered so weight loss isn't top of my agenda this week. I haven't lost any weight yet but starting to feel much healthier from eating better which is good.

DH wants to start hiking and so we're going to go for a big walk on Sunday my only day off and really just want to stay in my pj's all day but feel I have to do something supportive/productive😭

Fx for mummy!!

It's freezing here too.. and foggy! And have to drive all the way to Suffolk for a training day. Massive buffet lunch provided - will have to be be very restrained.

Have a lovely day all and fingers crossed mummyme!!

Thanks dancing!
It's absolutely freezing this morning isn't it!
theres what's it like in Dubai?? I'm dreaming of hot weather and beaches right now!

Buzz here's to a better day tomorrow ! 💐

I better get my stats in now. I've lost a lb since the start of Jan (-3 then +2) and I'm sure that will be gone when I weigh in next week. I really need to up the walking. Need to plan a lunch time route. Once spring arrives I'll be trying to eat lunch in the park to encourage said walking. It's cold now. ❄️

Tww is annoying! I'm so busy, I should have time to symptom spot, but I'm managing to squeeze it in. (So far nothing but a bit of nausea and a sudden aversion to strawberries... which was odd, but I think they were just rubbish strawberries!)

Glad all is well holly!

Here's for a great day for everyone tomorrow!!

All good really here thanks buzzmoon. Sickly in the afternoons and bugger boobs but otherwise fine. Lots of people on the september thread are having no symtoms so dont loose hope all.

Waiting to see this frer mummy!

Keep positive all xx

Thank you for all the well wishes! You're a lovely bunch

As if today couldn't get any worse, my only rl ttc friend has just found out she has pcos. How rubbish is that? Both trying at the same time now it's going to be so tough 😔

Holly how are you feeling? Lots of sickness?

grumpy pizza and ravioli sounds perfect!!

tigger totally know what you mean! Feel like it's 4 days of calm in the whole month!

Is excessive hunger a pregnancy sign lol.. just ate half a pizza and half a pack of ravioli

Possibly pre AF carb cravings..?

I never used an app. We just did it the old fashioned way and dtd every other day.
