Getting Ready For Baby Challenge - Thread 8

We've been staying in Northamptonshire near daventry I think!

Ahh lovely tigger - and a photobombing fox too Glad you had a good break.

parsnips I'm sorry about all the work stress but perhaps your confronting it will help change things, even though you wish it hadn't happened! Sounds like you have a good ally in that partner.

buzz that's great news! Fingers crossed they progress it quickly.

dancing I am still hopeful for you this month

Wow tigger that's unbelievable! Is that a fox?? Looks incredible! Where are you again?

Beautiful bluebells!!

Sounds like it's worked out quite well parsnips and really good you could open up and be honest. He sounds like a decent bloke and is right about family first! Hopefully things get a bit better now :)

Oh parsnips, sorry that it all got on top of you. Well done for saying something though, that takes a lot of guts! Try and enjoy your lunch, hopefully this "incident" will be enough to make a change.

That's exciting buzz, I hope you're not kept waiting too long!

Enjoy your walk tigger, send us some pictures? It's good that you've managed to talk yourself down - what will be, will be.

Good luck today MrsC, I can't wait to see a scan pic! X

tigger show us some pictures to make us jealous! I love bluebells :)

Just seen an email from HR about my promotion in my bosses inbox 🙊 not guaranteed but that the wheels are set in motion. Just when I was planning on flipping my shit and threatening to get another job 😂 just as long as it happens before July maybe I can get away with not telling them so soon about Keith. Gonna have to start buying lots of baggy clothes I think!

Morning all this hotel is amazing! Completely beautiful. We're off for a walk through the bluebell woods in a min before heading home. I've talked myself down from the edge. Really don't think I'm going to be lucky this cycle and I'm ok with that.

Oh parsnips! That sucks! Sounds like it was good you standing up and saying something! Hopefully it'll change for the better now and you have a nice lunch! I hope it's not too awkward ❤️

Oh parsnips I'm so sorry. That really sucks. But sometimes someone actually calling out the situation is exactly what's needed to make a change happen. And the atmosphere with one senior member of staff has been forever changed where I work by tears! Maybe this will spark the change you need. Although maybe waiting a day or two to take you out to lunch would have been more empathetic! Sending hugs!

grumpy looks amazing! That sunset 😍

mrs good luck!! Can't wait to see the scan! :)

mrsc hope your scan goes well 🙂

Grumpy looks lovely!

Orange sounds promising! As this was only our first cycle trying we only DTD twice during fw, on 2 consecutive days when I was super horny and had lots of ewcm. Your body knows what it is doing!

JB that's totally normal! I've been having af type cramps and half expect to see it has arrived every time I go to the toilet. I'm only one day late today so know how you feel - but a line is a line!

Ah Jb I've heard it's completely normal to feel like AF is on the way! Try not to think too much about it (Ha!)

Good luck for your 12 week scan MrsC! Can't wait to hear all about it!

grumpy your pics are making me so jealous! I'd love to be on any beach right now!

You never know penguin it only takes one wee sperm to be there at the right time.

My AF is due tomorrow. The queasy feelings from sunday have never returned. I don't feel any differently now than normal pre-af. Feels like AF is about to show so doubting the faint line from yesterday. I think I'm almost too scared to test again.

Ahh sorry for the double post! Hope everyone had a lovely bank holiday x

My sister with surfboard - sun starting to go down. So beautiful here.

My sister with surfboard - sun starting to go down. And then sunset. So beautiful here.

Don't worry guys - no rocks at this beach just sand!

Well I didn't succeed this morning but this evening I did. It's normally DH who instigates dtd but today I have been really horny... Haha don't know what's wrong with me! I'm hoping that my body may just know it's fw time. The new lube was much better than the durex stuff we used to use which stinks imo!Hopefully it does the trick this month...

orange I had been feeling much the same recently...I try not to tell my dh when it's time and then try and do the stuff he likes when we do dtd..

mrs c Hope tomorrow goes well! Can't wait to see a pic of our little Irish baba!

Grumpy I cant believe you still want to surf after the toe incident... You are so brave!

Buzz I wish every Monday was a bank holiday!! I could get used to starting the week on a Tuesday.
Ended up helping my mum and dad today move office so didn't get any work done or quilt but nevermind.

Hope you're enjoying sunning yourself on the beach, grumpy! You're brave going surfing again after hurting your toe last time, it would definitely put me off haha (I am quite a wimp though!)

I'm glad it went well telling your dad this evening MrsC. Good luck for your scan tomorrow!

Orange I completely get what you mean about DTD becoming a chore! We hardly ever have sex (no real reason, just both have low libido) so even trying to up to it a couple of times a week is hard for us! Which leads me to JB's question about the TWW... hardly noticed it! I don't think we dtd enough during FW to catch this cycle so I'm just waiting for AF really. Never mind, will try harder next month!

Ahh JB that's definitely a line! Can't wait to see the strong line in a couple of days time! Congratulations...I said I couldn't wait to see a few more bfps on here!

Dancing I'm still waiting too...rubbish isn't it!
