Getting Ready For Baby Challenge - Part 6

Yep.. Friday 31st is official POAS day! I'll be 12DPO then

When is your EDD Hb? can't be far behind me and Wilde - literally can't stop smiling for you :)

grumpy, penguin and seven next, is that right?

hb when's you're EDD?? What's DHs reaction?? Eek! So happy!

Kind of good you didn't find out this morning hb then have to try and stop smiling all the time in front of family! Congrats again! This is such a lucky thread.

DH just got home and I asked him if he liked my new hair. He said "yeah it looks great, I especially noticed the cut." I haven't had it cut! 🙈 I laughed so much. #manfail

DD is writing songs in the bath and being lovely. I'm looking forward to a new small one soon 👶🏼

Oh giiiiirls!!

You're all so fab!! You're putting an even bigger smile on my face!

Trying to remain cautious until I've seen it on a digi/FRER (but i have already googled EDD and contemplated cruising pinterest for nursery decor😂)

YEY!!! Hb Wow - very strong positive on a blue dye test!!

Huge huge congratulations!!l

Argh!!! :) hb congratulations!!! :D Did you test together? Eeee!! So happy for you! Definitely worth the trip to Sainsbury's!

Ahhhhh hb wonderful, wonderful!!!! I'm grinning like a loon here, so unbelievabley delighted for you!!! That is super strong too!!! This is the best!!!

That's so strong too!!!

OMG!!! Yes!! I literally gasped! And then cried 😂😂 stupid hormones but I'm literally so happy for you hb! Yay!!!!

Oh and yes, this continues to be the luckiest thread known to woman...

Oh my god Hb I have the BIGGEST smile on my face. Congratulations to you both, what wonderful news for mother's day... I knew that 'scratching' feeling in the womb meant something!! So happy for you. Such a good strong positive too for this time of day. xx

Wow hb so happy for you!! Happy Mother's Day!!! Xx

Hb oh my go congratulations!!!!! What a fantastic mothers day present!

........ think i might be humped!

🙋🏻 hola!

Sorry for keeping you guys in suspense!! We're still in suspense unfortunately... my fam didn't leave til after 5, so proper shops were all shut! We popped into Sainsburys local but only had own brand tests (which i obvs bought) but not sure whether to test later or wait til the morning!! Nausea/back ache/hot womb on the symptom list still & no AB so am very cautiously optimistic!

jupiter very cute advice from seven, defo buy something nice with your digital clear blue money!! Some more wool??

Lush car mummy , lovely to hear from you!!

Glad your appointment went well dancing

Well done Mr Tigger, what a lovely touch!

grumpy sounds like you've had a fab day, just what you need to take the attention away from POAS! Hope you get spoilt later!

Welcome dinosaur ! Do you get IUIs on the NHS?

Thanks all, I think I’ll give the CB a miss as I’ve read loads of stuff saying how inaccurate they are anyway! Just need to relax and enjoy this (so difficult!)

Hello and welcome dinosaur - wow what an exciting time. Really looking forward to hearing about your journey. Hope AF shows up soon! Good luck for the blood test results tomorrow, keep us posted.

seven can’t wait for your test day - hope the 5th comes quickly.

Happy mummies day everyone! Welcome dinosaur! Nice to have you here! Is it your first? :)

Welcome dinosaursandtea! And good luck.

Liver...you need this eat liver. Heard too much anecdotal evidence that it helps with fertility. And baby aspirin from ovulation to 12 weeks...

Hey dinosaur, such an exciting time for you! We're ttc from May/June too. I've heard a few of you talk about baby aspirin now...what's the deal? Is this something I've missed and should be doing?

First post on this thread, but I've been lurking for a while! We're going to ttc in May, so right now I'm taking Pregnacare's pre-conception vits, eating a tonne of kale (vom) and exercising. I'll definitely be trying the baby aspirin/quarter of regular aspirin daily, though.

I'm CD37 of a normally 35 day cycle - no chance I'm already preggers because I'm married to another woman! Bloated and spotty though, so period had better happen soon.

Had a GP appt and get blood test results tomorrow, then referred to fertility clinic. We're going for IUI but will do home insemination with some stuff from a Danish sperm bank while we're on the NHS waiting list.

So getting my body ready for pregnancy and crossing my fingers....

Tigger your oh sounds lovely & yay for bigger boobs!!

Glad you enjoyed your lunch grumpy... I'm also going to have a nap - something about big roast dinners makes me sleepy!!

I think I'm going to test on Friday... seven if you are expecting AF on 5th then a FRER might show something on Friday?? POAS with us!

Hehe I'm not sure what to do Grumpy I have no idea where I'm up to.
So far cycles since I came off the pill in July have been 94 days, 41, 38, 36, 21 and now on 25 so far. When I do ovulate I am normally 12 days until AF but haven't used opks this month. Had some pain a few days ago so if that was when I ovulated AF should be due around the 5th which goes with what Ovia has predicted. I guess I'll test then if AF not here but haven't really been trying this month. We've only dtd about twice a week on average. What day are you and Penguin testing?

Seven if you are CD25.. does that mean you'll be testing with me and penguin next week??

Jupiter it's only on mumsnet that I've ever heard of people continuing to POAS after getting a BFP.. I guess with the early testing and risk of chemical it's understandable but I think you'll just drive yourself crazy - after missed AF you are pregnant pregnant!! Relax and enjoy it xx

Tigger yay for boobs!

Am feeling very sleepy after a lot of wine at lunch so gonna have a nap now! Perfect indulgent Mother's Day Sunday. Hopefully DH and DD will be home with treats for me later too!

Seven good luck with the diet.. I need to get back on the wagon!!
