Getting Ready For Baby Challenge - Part 6

Good luck telling DH Wilde!

HeyJupiter still hasn't sunk in though I get a bit emotional when I think of telling the man later!

So many different due date calendars, but I think 6 December. You? DD was 16 days late, however, so if this one follows suit could be a Christmas baby!

Natur has it sunk in yet? :) I was cautious too until after my AF due date had passed so totally understand that. Am sure all will be fine though.. when is your baby due date? You can’t be far behind me :) Bet you can’t wait to tell DH.

Hi again JB, well done on finishing your studies! Now you can focus 100% on the TTC madness. Good luck!

Hb Roll on Sunday, wishing and willing your AB to stay away. At least you can celebrate/commiserate with a nice lunch out or something with your DH?

buzz love the idea of a spa break/mini moon after the wedding. You will need somewhere relaxing to go and get away for a few days. You will be talking about the wedding endlessly I guarantee it. How exciting.

Seven happy humping!!

Penguin what I assume was my implantation cramping felt JUST like pre-AF cramping so don’t rule yourself out just yet. You’re testing on Thursday? Is that right?

grumpy you could be starting to implant at 5DPO? You never know. I’m convinced you’ll be up-duffed this month as you know. Enjoy your hair appointment. I imagine you with thick brown-red hair so will have to change that to a blonde version in my mind!

Yay orange so glad it safely arrived - glad the parcel didn’t split open and embarrass any posties :) This will be the month for you I guarantee it. Is AF over and done with?

Well I’m working from home this afternoon as woke up this morning with the most awful sore throat! It’s stupidly painful, especially after doing 3 x2hr home assessments for people. Ugh. Home now with a lovely cup of decaf tea and hoping this doesn’t develop into a full blown cold…

Yeah you're right, I think I just didn't sleep enough last night.. always makes me feel off. 2.5 hours till my hair appointment and the WEEKEND

Jupiter the lucky lube turned up!!!! Thank you so much I was having a really shitty work day and it cheered me up no end when I checked the post (wfh today). Let's hope the luck continues this month.

grumpy 5 days is just about possible for implantation? But I felt sick last month on having a drink at 5dpo and got all excited - turned out to be nothing. I love a good symptom spot too!

I turn my back on this thread for 5 mins and there is another BFP! Congrats wilde!!!

I know I said I would not do this but is it possible to get symptoms at 5dpo? Just had 1 glass of wine at lunch feel really dizzy and queasy.

Congratulations Wilde - I bet a positive test makes everything seem better (until the proper symptoms kick in haha)

Just had a horrible work meeting! I direct a big team and it's a notorious HR nightmare! After the meeting, though, I thought of my test and felt all excited!

Telling Dp tonight...still can't take it in myself!

Will be OPKing buzz. Thought my cycles were settled back into a routine but had a random 40 day cycle last month so think I need the help of OPKs,

Good luck for testing inn sunday Hb.

penguin sounds like you definitely needed the wine after that treatment from your work

Drink til it's pink!

Get humping seven

Penguin your work sounds awful I'm sure no harm will be done by a few glasses of wince at this stage

You're all lovely. I did have a few glasses of wine last night... CD23 today so maybe I shouldn't have done? Got some cramping this morning and feel miserable.

Sounds like you've got a lovely day planned grumpy

Fx for you on Sunday Hb

Hey Jb!

And congratulations again Wilde!!

Hello my loves.

Just been catching up and welcome back JB

Wiggley how's your v-jj now?

Hb fingers crossed! I am with you on the not testing until AB due!

Tigger I'm so sorry you're feeling so shitty. Hopefully the next few weeks will pass quickly for you xxx

DH and I had a nice evening on Wednesday and managed to dtd although we were both shattered. He's due home again today so got another snuggly evening planned. CD23 here an no idea if I've ovulated or not yet. Been doing opks but not everyday so only seen a very faint line but been getting lots of twitches in both ovaries. Ovia recons I'm in my fw week now so gonna dtd as much as poss this weekend.

Yay it's Friday xxxxx

Yay wilde! that's so exciting!! Congrats!

Welcome back jb! Are you OPKing or just humping? :)

grumpy id love a massage right now! Your day sounds good! And it's Friday woop!! Me and dp were thinking of doing a spa break straight after the wedding as we don't have a honeymoon planned, then save up for something special :) although it will be with Keith now oops! Or we could do a babymoon I suppose in late September/October :) as much as I'd love one, i was thinking I'm sure I'd rather spend the money on Keith. We'll see!

hb I applaud your control! Don't forget I had a white FRER 5 days after AB was due, so don't worry on Sunday if there's nothing, you're not out till you're out!

Congrats again Natur ! FRERs are gospel so you're officially humped!!

Welcome back JB i think we had similar stats last time round!

Your day sounds fab Grumpy Not sure why i don't want to poas, ive just got in my head Sunday & sticking to it! (Why can't i be this disciplined about carbs?!) Sunday is my day off & DH off too so more time to commiserate/celebrate I guess! Still a bit crampy... stay away AB!

Hi ladies
I'm back from the first thread a couple of months ago. Had to finish my studies and found mumsnet too much of a distraction, haha! However I am now completely finished and ready to jump on the baby making bandwagon! So Af due next week and then cycle #3 can officially begin.
I see there has been a few BFPs since thread 1 - amazing news, congrats to you all.

Thanks! I was shaking this morning,waiting for the theee minutes to pass!! I'd like to see the line get darker, obviously, so still cautious! But I did print off the registration form for the local maternity hospital yesterday!

I think it will sink in after the weekend, when my period is due (Tuesday).

Other than that, I feel pretty great! Bags of energy, boobs a little tender every now and again. I gagged a little yesterday.

Last time I had gentle nausea from 4-5 weeks then full on from 6/7 until 12 weeks ish. And the tiredness hadn't kicked in yet...

Congratulations Wilde! :)

Massive congratulations Natur!!!! That's amazing. Nothing like seeing it on a FRER for confirmation :) how are you feeling? X

Thank you Grumpy! Dp home late this evening, going to (try to) stay up to tell him...can't imagine it! He will not be expecting this, first month at my age!

Good luck on Sunday Hb!

Congrats Wilde that's really strong for 11dpo!

5dpo here.. HB I don't know how you are so strong to wait till Sunday! I'd have caved by now!

Got a sports massage this morning before work and then lunch with a lovely friend in the industry followed by my blonde transformation in the salon tonight! Might have to fit some work in too.. Happy Friday all!

Better pic?

Obviously I'm awake at 4.30 to do the FRER...and....!

Positive! Faint but not a squinter!

I took a new IC too at the same time, line still only very faint. So, still early but fingers crossed! 11dpo now! I'm pregnant!!

😂😂😂 hb literally laughed out loud 😂

I second that buzz , Keith is probably putting his feet up and snuggling in... garlic bread on speed dial!!

Oh yes, forgot i chopped some of my name, just thought I'd streamline but Hb was already taken!
