Getting Ready For Baby Challenge - Part 6

Today's weigh-in and I have now lost a stone, feeling very happy that I am now starting to TTC at a healthy weight. So treating myself to a wee shopping trip in the city as have a big local event this weekend that requires an outfit that goes day to night and all weather - no easy task!

dancing I can't imagine what your feeling. One day at a time lovely.

Oh oh jupiter hope you manage to keep the sickness at bay.

Sorry about bfn seven, it's not over until AB shows though and penguin what is going on with all the spotting? Hope ICs arrive asap for you.

Eek parsnips who knows it might accidentally be your month!

Thanks tigger and seven. Totally don't feel amazing today, feel like I've been hit by the grief train, which I'm sure will happen over and over again. But I know it will get easier. I have a lot of coping mechanisms tucked up in my brain from my past.

Hope you feel better soon buzz and everyone else struggling!

Buzz I'm so glad it's no just me! Hope you feel a bit better soon

jupiter tigger i feel awful today too! Hope yours eases, im constantly hungry, like proper hunger like I feel like I haven't eaten in weeks hunger even though I've just had breakfast! If I don't eat I feel sick! Got aef headache, no energy, feel hot, can't empty my bladder properly so constantly need a wee! God! You're right though, I'm sorry for complaining. In a meeting all day today 😩 and then my boss is taking us for drinks to celebrate our year end. So trying to not drink too! Ugh!

Wow busy morning on here!

seven sorry about your BFN. I'm using Ovia app as well and it's not always reliable!

jupiter hope the nausea will settle after a while

penguin hope you find out one way or the other. Maybe it's a good sign with the spotting. Think you can get some bleeding in early pregnancy which is normal. When are you testing again?

Didn't sleep well last night. Lots of cramps and weird dreams. Can't wait for AF to be over and feel normal again! Have a good day everyone

I agree dancing IS amazing!

No magic lube yet, think I may order some when I get my next batch of tests. No doctors yet either. Will probably go over the summer if no luck before then.

Keep us posted parsnips x

Parsnips don't worry about the drinking and smoking... like Tigger says, I don't think the baby shares your blood until the placenta is formed - is that right?? How would you feel if you do get a bfp?

Ovia had been messing me around too, it's done the same as what it did for you buzz. It's telling me I should take a pregnancy test today but also that I'm approaching my fertile window

Jups small meals often! Anything you can stomach!! I have literally grazed my way through the last month. It's hit me really hard again today combined with hay fever it's not fun. I've asked to work from home today cos I feel so shit. I know some people have fine first 12 weeks and I feel like all I do is moan when I should be grateful and I am I really am so happy to be pregnant so I'll shut up moaning you must all be bored of me lol.

Seven sorry for your bfn. Have you tried the magic lube?

Parsnips really weird was thinking we haven't heard much from you this week and was wondering how it was all going! Don't worry about the drinking etc... baby does not rely on you get so no harm done if you do get your bfp!

Dancing you're bloody amazing!

parsnips don't worry! I found out that my friend was drinking like a trooper and smoking weed and all sorts before she found out she was pregnant! Her little boy is 5 now and absolutely fine!

Oh seven I'm so sorry. :( There's definitely plenty of time, but understandable that it's hard to see other people getting what you want so much. Still keeping my fx for you until AF shows. Have you spoken to your gp about it?

Parsnips would you be very upset if it were positive?

Penguin hope you get a clear answer either way soon.

😱 parsnips you might have done what I did?? Are you going to test?

To be fair, my Ovia just moved AF date to the next day every time I said it hadn't arrived. Until it got to the 4 days that it would normally be then just disappeared and said I would be starting FW soon 👍🏽

I came off end of July dancing. There's people from the thread I joined in the beginning about to have their babies 😭 I really can't imagine ever getting a bfp. We're only 28 though, I'd like to think we've still got plenty of time if we keep getting healthier and saving our pennies it will happen when the time is right trying to be optimistic 😂

Sorry for the bfn seven!

Oh no Jupiter, I hope the nausea calms down... definitely try to eat little and often, that seems to be working for our other preggos.

Spotting is very unusual for me... I kind of get the feeling that AF is just clinging on up inside there haha!! She'll let go soon - at least then I'll know where I stand!!

She was expecting AB today so when I said it wasn't here she just changed her mind. It's my own fault for not opking properly!

Jupiter didn't Tigger say to try and keep eating. Hope you're not struck down too badly xxxx

Jupiter oh no! If you can manage to eat, it usually helps. I was definitely worst when I hadn't eaten for a while!

Boo, so sorry seven. There's still hope if no AF though. How many months post pill are you? So annoying that it's not an easy process coming off!!

I'm going to confuse the shit out of Ovia, because there doesn't seem to be a way to tell the thing that I had a mc, so it thinks my last cycle was 89 days! And who knows how many days of bleeding I'll get now. So I'll feel a bit bad next cycle expecting her to give me an accurate guess!

Grumpy :( I'm sorry you didn't enjoy the yoga. Hope you find a good alternative!!

Oh no seven! Had you dtd much during the revised fertile week?? Figures crossed for Saturday!

Ovia is such a knob seven but sorry for the bfn.. but then again you wouldn't necessarily expect a bfp yet if Ovia is randomly correct. Fingers crossed AF stays away!

Penguin is it unusual for you to have spotting? Definitely retest if no AF in next few days! Having a stash of ICs helps :)

orange your DH is a sweetheart. Have you finished your fertile window now?

I fear the nausea may be beginning guys.. feel very sick this morning and can't even stomach my special k. Comes in waves though so manageable.
