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!

[TheGrumpySquirrel]

Urgh the massive bloat is back. Curse these hormones! I was so symptomless on the pill and now I have no idea what is going on. Red and buzz both came off Cerelle / cerazette too right? do you think we will ever get our periods back lol. How are you feeling?

[HeyJupiter]

It's all baffling isn't it! Just read about your BFN this morning, worth another test tomorrow though I agree. Hope you weren't too disappointed, I know you aren't actively trying though. Although guess the bloating could be good sign AF on her way!

[TheGrumpySquirrel]

Thanks Jupiter will test again tomorrow with a FRER then leave it for a week because I'm going insane. I know it's probably unlikely to ovulate so soon after coming off the pill but it's not unheard of - and to think we are always worried about missing a pill is almost laughable now

[HeyJupiter]

I know! The number of times anxiously sat waiting for pregnancy test result (and praying for a negative) after missing one pill or having dodgy tummy and assuming it hadnt absorbed. Laughable now! I think I ovulated the first month after coming off pill so definitely not unheard of.

Mrsc the fun week would be better if I was in the same city as my oh!! :( Dtd last night as pretty much my only hope for the month!

[Wiggleyfingers]

Ahhh shiney new thread! Thanks confused.

Age: 26
Ttc: 1 (starting in May)

So many exciting things happening on this thread! Congratulations Holly, what a great start to the New Year! I can't wait to hear about your DH's reaction. I love slipping into fantasies about telling my DH, or seeing those two lines. And it's happening to you! Anyone else finding it so hard to focus at work? I'm so distracted, the ttc thoughts are all consuming.

Red you have so much self restrain. I also feel for you being on CD41 I struggled last month and it was only CD33. I have everything crossed for you for your morning test! Hopefully we'll see a squinter.

Tigger I can relate to the stress/emotional part of ttc. I haven't even started yet and it's affecting me. What contraception were you using before?

[confusedat23]

Tigger you are a day behind me! So i completely sympathise... and having a faint BFP has made me feel even worse!

I went out and got a FRER for tomorrow mornings testing but im
Pretty much mentally ruling myself out..

On a completely unrelated note i just won £1000 on a scratch card and cried! I didn't believe you could ever win more than £20 on one!

[confusedat23]

Red and Grumpy are you both testing tomorrow morning? I feel lik im going to need some company from my BFN which is inevitable!

[HPeveryday]

My goodness confused what an awesome win!!! Whatcha gonna do with your newfound fortune
Good luck comes in three so fingers crossed for tomorrow for you!

Hi all!

Age 29
Ttc #1
CD 14
DPO 3 (I think!)

Well done confused! That's amazing!

[Mummyme87]

Wow that's amazing confused!!

I have heard coming off cerezete can give you a first funny cycle. On another thread someone got to CD45 until AF arrived. My friend had a period 4 weeks after stopping cerezete and then 2 periods the next month 🤔 I was on microgynon which doesn't seem to mess cycles up too much. I got pregnant on the pill with DS1 so it does happen! Somehow 😂

[Tigger83]

Brilliant news confused! I'm resisting testing for as long as possible as I don't want to be disappointed!! Tonight I've got a stabbing pain lower right side intermittent but doesn't feel like af pain. I'm same as everyone else coming off the pill where I was symptomless to this level of weirdness is very confusing!!

[HeyJupiter]

Wow confused, think of the baby stuff you can buy with that

I'm off work tomorrow so will wake up and be monitoring the thread for BFP news!

Wiggley - I can't concentrate at work either, constantly preoccupied. I work in mental health yet really am not looking after my own at the moment!

Lennart Nilson is the name of the photographer with amazing conception photos

[confusedat23]

Snap Tigger i am laid in bed with the same pain!... and i am having some super light pink Spotting trying to pretend its not AF i'm hoping its implantation bleeding!

Well i'm going to add it to the baby fund... it means we can afford the cot and pram i want now without stressing ourselves out!

HP i had another lucky thing today so i'm really hoping my third will be a BFP this week... but i have booked my hair in to be done on Saturday to make the blow of AF a bit softer! Lol

[TheGrumpySquirrel]

I'm testing as well tomorrow morning confused but I'm sure I'll get a BFN. Using my last FRER test as then I'm definitely giving up testing because it's too addictive.

Mine will be early as I get up at 6am every day without fail. I'll post here straight away!

GP appointment 9am tomorrow to discuss my medical records (past MH issues and inaccuracies) and tell him I'm TTC etc.

[HeyJupiter]

confused it may well be implantation bleeding! That's meant to be light pink I think? If so then it might take a while for the hcg to register on a HPT so don't be too disappointed if you get a negative tomorrow... although hopefully after the other day you might get a strong positive instead!

[confusedat23]

Ooo Grumpy i will be just before 6am too! Although might not be able to actually post until i get to work! will post it asap though so you arnt on your own. I am not sure whether to save my FRER and use a superdrug test... i think that i would rather save my FRER

I am hoping so Jupiter i can spot before AF but its normally very red or Brown this is just a slight tinge but its the stabbing pain in my womb making me hopeful lol

[Heyitsholly]

Ooh thats a soit of good luck confused.
Now your in the money use the frer.

Still havent told dh. He went out to play football 7-8 as a last minute decision and still isnt back.
He's ruining my plans!

[Heyitsholly]

AF just arrived after coming off cerazette Xmas day so I think me Red and Grumpy are very similar?! So hopefully AF comes for you soon!

Hoping for big things in my weigh in tomorrow!

[TheGrumpySquirrel]

Ahh buzz that's amazing! You are giving me hope of getting a cycle to go on very soon.

[TheGrumpySquirrel]
