Getting Ready for Baby Challenge -Pt 2

[confusedat23]

Just a follow on from our 1st thread!

Theres is our motherhen, we are all just a bunch of crazy ladies either TTC or waiting to start!

Yes confused but my DH will take the next 6 months under SPL. Then we will both go to 4 days per week I think so baby will do 3 days a week daycare from age 1yr. Having said that my DD was in full time daycare from 5 months as I had to go to uni and she is absolutely fine and was least clingy kid ever (until recently! But she is pre teen now).. ahh she was so cute and well behaved then

Baby that isn't even made yet.. seems ridiculous right?

Thanks confused, yes will definitely do something fun this weekend if AF shows! How about you? Roll on next month.

And lots and lots of good luck for tomorrow morning, will have fingers and toes crossed for you!

Yay Buzz well done!

I was 4lb down today - 13.5lb in two weeks! Gutted that there wasn't an extra half a pound to make up a whole stone but still...!! I'm out for a work lunch on Friday but I'll try to have something on plan!

I won't be able to take much time off as dh doesn't work much atm due to depression/anxiety which makes me a bit sad as I would love at least 6 months. But makes sense to have kids now while one of us is off. There may be a decent job lined up for him soon tho so who knows what may happen between now and by the time a baby comes along!

I just got told off by oh for drinking (day was stressful, I deserve it, and pretty sure I didn't ovulate before today so almost certainly no effect!) but was cute watching him tell me to be careful because there might be a baby!

Thinking of you confused. Fx for bfp. And if not, plan something mega fun and look forward to next month?! (Easier said than done, I know!!)

Wow nick that's amazing!! I need to get my head back in the game!

Nick that's amazing weight loss! Well done. Ah confused I'm keeping everything crossed for you. Let us know!

Morning ladies... well after our ups and downs this week its a FRER confied BFN...

Honestly i would advise you to never buy Superdrug Early or Tescos Own preggo tests!

Grumpy seems rediculous but my whole life is made up of convos about a baby who isnt made yet! Lol
Also your childcare sounds like its all sorted! I think my parents may have DC 2 days a week and MIL 1 day so may only be 2 days a week

Jupiter i'm blowing lots of babydust in your direction!!

Seven this would be good timing for a baby then if DP would be a SAHD!

Awhhh Dancing that is so cute of DH! I am getting my hair done on Saturday but thats about it really lol...

Nick that weightloss is amazing!

Thanks Theres hows post implant life?

Wow nick amazing weight loss. I need to get my head in the game seriously.

4DPO and no symptoms at all of anything.

I was out last night with the two friends who are also TTC. It's good to be able to talk to people about symptom spotting and being mental over this

Awk confused, sorry about the BFN, that must be frustrating. It's hard not to look for the faintest of lines and get your hopes up. Don't be down about it. I think you're right about the tests and maybe about early testing in particular as it just gives you lots of stress and fretting.

Post implant life - hmm nothing has happened! No AF. No weight loss. No nothing! I'm just getting on with it and waiting for things to get back to normal. We aren't found to TTC for a few months anyway so there's no rush.

Has anyone got any exciting weekend plans? We have a ski lesson tonight (hopefully better than last weeks disaster) then maybe cinema and want to take the dog for a long walk round the lakes. But a quiet one I think!

Confused sorry for the bfn. :( sounds like a seriously frustrating few weeks!

So sorry confused xx

No weekend plans tea as desperate for a quiet one but we are picking up our new "family car" tonight. So excited!!

Meant to say, huge well done nick that's amazing! Xx

Oh confused I'm sorry!

I'm going to test on Sunday I think with a clear blue early indicator. I've calmed down over the last few days and a bit more zen about everything. We're off to Sweden next month so we may end up baby making under the northern lights- if that isn't baby dust then I don't know what is! We're also going to the ice hotel can't wait.

I'm feeling very hormonal and eating for England no idea if that's af starting earlier than normal or something else.

Good luck everyone!

So sorry confused it's been a hell of a week for you so make sure you give yourself time to feel it. If anything its all a learning curve isn't it. Onwards to next month hey?

Normal pre-AF stuff going on this end. All okay really. Thank you for the baby dust though :)

Tigger ditto with the sunday testing with the clearblue early indicator! My AF is due that day though so if it's already started (often wake up to it) then obviously won't be testing. Will send good luck your way though.

Hi everyone. Ooh yay a new thread!

Age: 35
TTC: No 1
Cycle no: IUD comes out after AF!
CD1

Sorry about the BFN confused and congrats holly - just catching up with everything now!

parastars I totally get what you mean about telling people about TTC. I am struggling not to (have already told mum) as I know it will not help me if they keep asking but I expect I will tell more people knowing me!

After being down last week about all the exercise and very healthy eating but staying same weight, i did a sneaky weigh in today (i weigh fortnightly 'officially') and at the almost half way stage i have lost 2lb finally!

Well done on weightloss Buzz ! & wow, that's amazing in 2 weeks Nick Well done

My childcare plans mirror yours grumpy

Is anyone else thinking about Shared Parental Leave?

Sorry for the bfb confused ,will have to avoid those tests. At least you can get your head around next month now

Wow Buzz impressive loss there, very well done.
Tea good luck for the lesson today! Hope you have lots of fun and get some 1-1 with the instructor. I read your post around 3 or 4 am ( can't remember which as I was up since 2.30 ) this morning and was wondering why you were up so early then realised you are in Dubai and 4 hours ahead of us
Confused sorry about the BFN but you ain't out yet. Witch ain't due till tomorrow!
Hello everyone!

Well done Pony!

Thats ok Theres if anything im more upset about the pre-af symptoms lol i'm used to not feeling anything at all... but not i know im gonna jump straight back on the workout wagon and hopefully shift some pounds!...

It's ok Dancing it was all self inflicted! Lol

Ooo what car are you getting Seven?

Thanks Jupiter well i am gonna start the highlights process at the weekend to move to a pregnancy friendly hair routine so i'm going to really relax and enjoy that...

Ooo Tigger lots of babydust for you too! I will eagerly await results on Sunday lol

Well done on the loss Red you should be happy with yourself!

I think i am coming down with something... i feel so rough and keep like (sorry if tmi) sicking in my mouth

Ohhh i missed the 'new car' thing seven! What you getting?

Well done on the weight loss red and nick! That's great 👍🏼

Sorry to hear about the BFN confused xx

My bloating is gone YAY!!! I am feeling super fit, doing yoga every day and maintaining weight only another 2kg (4-5lb) till my goal.

No symptoms at all, no AF, nothing, except DH is annoying me as he's still freaking out about decision to TTC (just as much his decision so why??), I'm trying to be patient but failing a bit so possibly PMT as I'm feeling bitchy? Lol

CD 24 now
