Thread 6 already. We are a bunch of ladies who are either

  • humping (TTC)
  • by humping yet (waiting to TTC)
  • humped (preggers)

And everything in between!

We've had 7 BFPs in three months and we love a bit of lucky lube and a squinter on 9DPO - come and join the madness!

Oh and my skin is terrible! Wtf pregnancy hormones? Also I think I might have managed to get impetigo on the side of my nose (really bloody hope it's not!). It's really really sore like a graze but it was never a spot if that makes sense

TheGrumpySquirrel · 29/03/2017 22:51

Guys I'm only just on way home from the dinner event I'm sooo tired! It was really hot in the room and I kept feeling dizzy, but eased after a bit. I had a very diluted Campari soda and a few sips of white wine - probably equivalent to half a small glass- hope that's ok Confused

Thanks for asking buzz Jupiter MrsC I am kind of still in denial / not thinking about it that much as work is so busy and I just have to get on with it! I hope I can take some time at the weekend to get my head around it (when I stop and think about it and flying to LA alone etc at 6wks I get really anxious so just taking 1 day thought(!) at a time).

I have a doctor appointment next week for diazepam which I normally take for flying but I'm unsure whether I'll be allowed any as obviously will be telling GP im pregnant.. I don't know what I'll do if he won't give me any.. I don't often need to take it anymore but just knowing I have it as back up in case of real panic attack helps..

Jupiter congratulations on your new baby niece! That's so lovely Flowers

orangefolly · 29/03/2017 22:51

Ahh congratulations jupiter I'm sure you'll be a great Auntie. You must be so excited about telling the family your news too!

Hope you feel better buzz that sounds rough.

Excellent work on the list seven - thanks for keeping track of us all!

confused great about the cousins being so close in age - I am sure it will be lovely for them. Off to go find that thread now!

MrsC enjoy the weekend - a quiet one sounds bliss Smile

confusedat23 · 29/03/2017 21:33

Oh and Dancing I completely understand about the scan and thats why i've not been on the Ante-natal thread properly in so long... i can't see all the good and bad news on there it just cripples me with Anxiety!!

confusedat23 · 29/03/2017 21:31

Yay Jupiter!!!! Connie is a beautiful name! I bet you must feel really smug knowing your little bubble inside of you is going to be the best cousin ever! And so close in age!

My DSIL is pregnant... shes 3 weeks behind me which is weird but nice at the same time! Although will be her 2nd so at least we will get 3 weeks minimum of enjoying our little bubble bundle before hers comes along! Its nice to know they are all going to be the same age!!

On a different note has anyone seen the AIBU about the woman making her mum clean her wee from the rental car... it has made me so mad i have spammed it with angry replies AngryBlush lol

Seven0fNine · 29/03/2017 21:31

Oooooh Jupiter congratulations! Being an Auntie is the best ever (incase you don't already know!) :D And I love that name! adds it to the list xxx

buzzmoon · 29/03/2017 20:54

Oh dancing poor you :( everything will be fine with your scan! But I understand exactly how you're feeling. At least you don't have long to wait and everything will be fine! Hope you get a good nights sleep and wake up feeling refreshed.

jupiter that's so exciting! Congrats to the Jupiter family!! Do they know about you yet?

How you feeling grumpy?

mrs enjoy the weekend to yourself! Get a movie and a takeaway for one and snuggle on the sofa, oh and chocolates! Sounds perfect and you don't have to share :) hehe

MrsC2017 · 29/03/2017 20:43

HeyJupiter · 29/03/2017 20:42

Thanks guys, you're so kind :)

HeyJupiter · 29/03/2017 20:42

She's called Connie and she is scrumptious Grin My sister did it all on gas and air (hardcore!) very impressed!

MrsC2017 · 29/03/2017 20:41

Awww jupiter how wonderful!! Congratulations auntie!! I hope mum and baba are doing well!! How exciting for the jupiter family!!!

MrsC2017 · 29/03/2017 20:40

Well done seven I think red is on hold till may too, could be wrong! Hope humping week is going well!
penguin sorry about BFN today, I hope you're OK and still feeling positive! Flowers
dancing you poor thing, I really hope it eases soon for you love, I'm also back to feeling shit today, I know only eat white food... Its terrible but I literally can't stomach anything!
natur hold on til the 6 week symptom smash hits!
Hi hotpink! At number 4 you are our resident pregnancy expert!
buzz I did have that hangover feeling, it's terrible, hope you are having a nice relaxing evening!
hb that was very ambitious of you, getting out of bed is a struggle, hope u have the feet up and have cast aside the paintbrush, I always think painting won't be a big job until I start and then I'm like whyyyyy, then forget until next time!
grumpy hope nobody notices that you're on the water tonight! Has it all sunk in yet?
Bring on Friday, DH is away this weekend with some friends, I'm actually happy for him to go away, I'm sure he needs a break from me moaning on all the time!

HbH · 29/03/2017 20:36

Aaaaahh! Congratulations jupiter !! Has she got a name yet? How's your sis? Lovely news! This seems a long way off for us!!

HeyJupiter · 29/03/2017 20:32

Grumpy how are you after your wonderful news? Has it made sense in your head yet? So happy for you x

HeyJupiter · 29/03/2017 20:31

Wilde I have very few symptoms too, don't worry! They will likely hit us like a ton of bricks in the next few weeks...

HeyJupiter · 29/03/2017 20:30

Thanks for the list seven, looks fab!

I've been a bit absent today because I've been whizzing cross county to meet my gorgeous new niece who was born this morning. She is complete heaven and we're all very in love. Can't wait to give her a cousin so close in age :)

Penguin27 · 29/03/2017 20:18

Thanks for updating the list seven!

How's everyone's week going?

HbH · 29/03/2017 18:48

Thanks seven youre a star ⭐️ for being the list keeper! Hope the humping is going well!

DancingUnicorn · 29/03/2017 18:02

After a week or so of feeling a lot better and finally getting rid of my migraine (yay!) I feel awful again. :( Thinks its anxiety about Friday's scan mostly. Or maybe my nausea has just decided to come back to piss me off.

Thanks for the list seven! :)

NaturWilde · 29/03/2017 17:50

Thanks Seven! More info - my EDD is 4 December! And another one engaged and humped in the same week!

All good here though don't understand how i can have increasingly fat/darker lines but no symptoms!

buzzmoon · 29/03/2017 17:36

Thanks seven you're a star! Love that all our on hold people are starting in May, and May is really soon! Only one month to go!

Seven0fNine · 29/03/2017 17:05

Omg that took ages to skim through all those pages! Sorry if I missed anything!! Let me know if I have or if you have more to tell us :D I'm not leaving it that long again!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 29/03/2017 16:53

Thank you parsnips and everyone! Feeling relatively normal still- if a bit tired and slight backache. I have a work dinner tonight would you believe it but I should be able to get away with not drinking as it's a big event (and no one else from my team is going).
