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!

Mummyme that sounds promising... not symptom spotting is impossible!

Tigger good luck for the exam. Has AF started yet?

Theres hope you're feeling better. Rant away. Work is fairly shit this end too, long day of assessments. Do something tonight to treat yourself

Red - wow for the inches lost, that's fab. Your OPK is looking good too.

Busy - maybe do as confused said and get a FRER for the next couple of days? You never know!

AF really slow starting this end. Was due yesterday and still only light spotting today. Definitely not pregnant (took another test this morning) and some blood when I wipe. This does happen occasionally so not that unusual. Would that mean that maybe I ovulated a bit later than I thought? How long after a peak OPK can you ovulate? I assumed the next day but maybe can be up to a couple of days. Maybe it's a bit delayed because of all the stress of this. Silly body confusing me.

Have had some back ache and occasional pelvic twinges today...
I swore I wouldn't get my hopes up this month.

Panicking about the exam trying to do past papers and failing miserably not looking forward to tomorrow. No sign of af yet although have sore back and cramps so who knows. Feeling really under the weather, really breathless- think I might have chest infection. All in all a bit pants. Just want oh to come home and give me a big hug. So bloody emotional all the time.

Such a lovely group of ladies you've all been making me smile, better get back to it

Girl at my work just announced she's 18wks pg!

DH and I realised how much DIY we still need to do to our house before baby but can't help wishing it will happen sooner rather than later (although not sensible for work either)!

Why am I so neurotic. Not only am I only 8dpo it was 4.30pm... I poas 🙈😖☺️ I used a Sainsbury's test which are nortoriously inaccurate although I got my positive with my DS on a Sainsbury's test. Negative after 10mins, after 30mins a faint line with a blue colour 🙄 So clearly an evap although when I do a negative effect shows up.. I'm such an idiot. I did it because I am having a fair amount of back niggles. I've embarrassed myself arghhh. Will not test for at least 2days. I e attached the photos.. although you probably can't see anything. I have line eye lol

Mummy that looks clearly positive to me and blue!! FWIW with my DD the positive showed up only way after the time limit!

CONGRATS!!

Aaaaah mummy that looks like a strong line to me! Congratulations! Maybe try with a digital tomorrow as I think they're more reassuring!

In other news - I passed to the intermediate lesson at ski class. Skied in turns down a blue run too. So chuffed! Have perked out of my mood now! 😃

I'm not getting my hopes up grumpy I know Sainsbury's tests are nortoriously dodgy.

I don't think you can get false positives though.. not with colour? Def test again with FMU!

mummy I have def seen squintier sticks that that, that looks pretty positive to me!! Get a frer and retest in the am if u are worried about reliability!! So I'll hold my congrats til then but I reckon that's fairly obvious! How exciting!
theres wow well done, maybe you missed your calling in life and you could have been in the winter Olympics, sounds like u are very good at skiing!!!
grumpy the diy will fly once u get stuck in, or if u end up with child u can call the gang from 60minute makeover!
tigger u poor thing, exam stress is the worst, especially if you aren't feeling 100%! Good luck tomorrow!!
busy a frer is prob the best idea as confused said!
Am really hoping this late ov is a once off..... Already diagnosing myself with a leutal phase disorder which I will be 100% convinced of when AF shows up! My sister constantly says I'm a hypochondriac!
Eeek mummy u really made me smile really hope u get a clearer BFP in the morning!!!

Oh my goodness mummyme that does look positive. FRER tomorrow morning?! Fingers and toes crossed for you!

Mrs not a stealth boast but could actually pay a builder to come and sort it all but cannot find a good reliable builder for love nor money!!! Because it's not a huge project but a series of smaller jobs (but including one entire room gutting and re doing).

Still feel sick especially when not eaten for a bit. Getting stabby boob pains and pelvic twinges. Very bloated. It's so annoying not to know if/when I ovulated as that would then give me a better idea of chances / when to test. Confused I ordered your £11 50 OPK pack!

What's a frer??

busy a first response early response test

grumpy you are wise to wait for someone you trust or else you could be on a different TV show entirely.... Cowboy builders! it'll be fab when it's done!!
Just did OPK and negative so ov has been and gone and I am officially 1DPO and in the tww or 9day wait as the case may be

A frer...okay... can I get one from the supermarket?

A lot of the time yes or else boots or chemist should have them!

MrsC I reckon your AF (or BFP!) will come much later than planned and your luteal will be perfect length! I'm such a hypochondriac too so have convinced myself I probably have some fertility problems that I don't know about.

Theres well done on the ski class! What a result. Glad you're feeling better :)

Ohhh have you guys seen that lovely thread on the pregnancy board where the OP thought she was peri-menopausal and had given up on the idea of having children? She just found out she is 16 weeks pregnant! hadn't realised. Made my day :) Sorry just had to share.

jupiter no how lovely! Must have a look! And jupiter you are probably right I always imagine the worst, we can be hypochondriacs together!!

Oh god yes we definitely can...I'm quite good at reassuring other people, it's my own womb I have no faith in. I have lots of faith in yours though!

Mummyme that looks positive to me. Second the frer tomorrow!

Omg this evening has been manic!

Sorry you are feeling crap about exams Tigger just if you know yoy have tried your best you cant ask more of yourself!

Omg Mummy i would put money on that being positive!!... if you cannot get a FRER and pink dye tesr will do the job!!.. also
How long before doing the test was your last wee?

Yay in your skiing Theres!! You will forever be able to snow plough (turn around cones incase they dont say that in dubai lol) from now on! Lol

Mrs C i hope AF doesnt turn up and you get a BFP!!

grumpy in the kit it also has 5 HPT which is perfect for waiting our you BFP or AF!... i just thought it was really snazzy in its own little set! I was poas at work (using a water fointain plastic cup!) lol and the by the time i got home to stick my opk on my chart thing it was destroyed! Lol. Also diy is so satisfying once it is done! Lol

Omg Jupiter i was following that last night but forgot to check today!!! I am so happy for her!

This is what my set came like btw Grumpy
