Getting Ready For Baby Challenge Thread 5

Tessa I am also testing Friday 😀

Noticed a few symptoms today but looking back at Ovia I had them this time last cycle 🙄 Left breast tenderness particularly top left near my armpit

I don't know how I'll manage it either Hb and almost 100% guarantee I won't be able to . I will blurt it out or me and DH will be testing together in the next few days. Don't want to lie to him about having tested so may tell him I have but want to wait until missed AF to be conclusive or something. Aghhh!

confused it feels totally surreal and because I haven't said it out loud in real life it doesn't feel like it's even happening. Have little bursts of happiness though. I am still getting lower left side cramping. Do you think thats okay? It's not painful but niggling. Feels more like a stretching pain.

tessa good luck for Friday!!

Thanks @HeyJupiter will have to wait and see I guess but just feeling now like it's not. Planning to test on Friday I think!

Cracking up buzz !!!

Thanks jupiter keep swinging between really positive & really negative!! So much is up to chance!! I don't know how you're going to keep it to yourself til the weekend???? (Bet you don't!!)

I'm sure you could still make a baby Gimping Penguin i keep loling at that I just had to tell DH why!! 😂

So hows your first day being pregnant been Jupiter? Have you told DH yet?!?

Hahah buzz I was thinking that too. Penguin gimping/humping.. whatever takes your fancy!

Thanks tessa, don't write yourself off just yet - I was saying exactly the same thing last week as had no real symptoms. Then I started getting pre-AF symptoms instead so lost hope even more. When are you testing? Good luck!

Hahah buzz you just made me laugh out loud at the bus stop

penguin we don't know what kinky shit you're into so get gimping if you like too 😂😂😂

Wow! Congrats @HeyJupiter awesome news, hope your babydust is contagious for this thread! I'm thinking I'm out this month, had loads of symptoms and now nothing from 7dpo to now 9dpo. It would have been too lucky to get a bfp in the first cycle I think!

Ohh Dancing I was exactly the same when a colleague at work announced her pregnancy. Much more interested in you guys getting pregnant thank you for the reassurance lovely

Yay for your OPKs Hb, my IC HPTs are weeny too and always seem to ping across the room when I take them out of the sachet. Exciting times! This could be your month eeek.

That's interesting dancing and so true! We know about each other's DTD timings/CM/emotions/hormones/lube... I don't talk to my bestfriends about things in this detail, just you lovely lot! Very much invested!!

My OPKs came! Thought I'd give one a cheeky go! It's not positive (which is good!) there is a line tho so im hoping ive just caught the come down!!

(Can i just say, they're TINY! Way smaller than they look in all the photos posted on here!)

Sounds like such a perfect date Jupiter. The fear doesn't go away I'm afraid. I'm starting to panic about my scan (which is still ages away!). But there's nothing I can do. Today you are pregnant! (Argh!)

I feel kind of bad, I had a friend in rl who told me she was pregnant. I'm way more excited for you girls! I feel more invested in your efforts trying! :s

Haha I love all the encouragement to get humping (my phone just autocorrected that to gimping?!?)

I was wondering, does the texture of your CM have any relationship with dryness during sex?? I haven't noticed any CM at all this cycle

You're just two weeks after me! All done and dusted in time to relax at Christmas!! Not sure if relax is the right word.... And Yep chances are all will be well so try and enjoy it as much as possible.... Easier said than done I know! I forget I'm pregnant now which sometimes panics me!

You are such a lovely MrsC, I've worked out my EDD at 23rd November :) A winter baby... which is just what I wanted. I'm so scared though to over-invest in case it doesn't work out but I suppose right now I am pregnant and I need to just enjoy it whatever happens!! :)

penguin get on it girl!!! laura I would suck at temping and ewcm was abundant one cycle and non existent the cycle I got pregnant on (credit to the lube)! jupiter I'm grinning like an idiot for u here at my desk!! Such great news to wake up to!! Have you calculated your Edd?

Get humping penguin!

laura I could never cope with temping malarkey either and used OPKs. My ewcm changes every month too (some times I have it for days before I ovulate, other times just one day before!)

Woop! Humping time penguin!

So happy for you all getting your BFP, I know how much work has been put into that haha

I am having trouble trying to figure out when I ovulate though...EWCM doesnt seem to change? Dont get the whole temping malarkey? I think maybe come May time I may start on OPKs just to see.

Glad it went well at work dancing, definitely one less thing to worry about.

CD13 for me today and the start of my fw according to Ovia. I'm excited!!

Thanks guys!! You're all so kind. It really hasn't sunk in yet.. hope you're all having a good day

Oh my goodness jupiter yay!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Oh and we ,ade it to front page again!

OMFGGGGGG JUPITERRRRRRRRR I actually screamed with happiness! I told you this month was yours!!

I am so bloody happy for you!!! It is such a clear line as well..

The Lube Exchange has a very successfull pass rate at the moment!!!

Sorry about BFN Orange Could it be too early? Remember you are not our until AF shows!
