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, parsnips totally agree that things would be different if men gave birth! ;)

Sending 💐 to all those who have had difficult times.

parsnips gosh really, that's so difficult! And yep if it were men doing it they would have come up with something much less taxing on the body! Ditto periods! Just made homemade pizzas with DS coz DH is out tonight and got a load of Crap for us after! Will have to up the exercise to burn it all off!

Haha parsnips no wonder you thought it was intimate feel!!

Would it be really bad if I opened a bottle of prosecco? DP has gone to the pub after work and who knows when he'll be back. Talk me out of drinking alone!

Go for it buzz. Especially if you have a bottle stopper so you don't have to drink the whole bottle.

I feel pretty rubbish today. Absolutely shattered and feel really sick. :( Looking forward to bed already! How to live on a Friday night...

Mummy I couldn’t cope with being a SAHM either, would go out of my mind. Is a nice fantasy though when work is so difficult.

Seven you’re so welcome. It’s great your DH is getting support and worth prioritising his wellbeing over some fairly unproven research.

Oyster yay for end of the pill pack. Are you going to be OPK-ing?

Parnsips that must have felt like a very impressive new type of condom So, you’re not out this month completely then!

buzz go for it and enjoy

to all of you for all the difficult times. You’re amazing.

DH has gone out with friends but he text to say “don’t worry, I know I have an appointment later” - never described sex as an appointment before… ahh the glamour of the fertile week.

oh Dancing did you decide whether to test again tomorrow morning? Any sign of AF at all?

That's cute Jupiter!

I'll definitely test again in the morning if no af. Still not here. Think there may have been a hint of a shadow on my test this morning, but working really hard to not get my hopes up!

Parsnips it's a shame they can't create a truly intimate feel one! Hope it wasn't too much of a shock!

Dancing wow, I will try and not get too excited for you either but that sounds possibly like good news (eeeek). Let us know as soon as you can and good luck!

Oh dancing will keep everything crossed for u! Let us know!!!💜
jupiter that's very cute of your DH!
My DH was very lovely to me today when u told him it was a definite no this cycle , I wasn't even too disappointed but he told me not to worry and it'll happen soon and that he hopes I'm ok..... He won't be having another 9day sex marathon this cycle though!
buzz hope you had a glass!

Wow lots to catch up on after an 11 hour non stop day! (Punishment for going on hol!)

red & parsnips sorry to hear you've been through traumatic times... Nice to be in positions now that are so far from these circumstances & so much to look forward to!

The first time I had sex the condom split & we had to go up the Brook & get the MAP... Mortifying & not quite the first time experience one has in mind!

How did you get on Unicorn?

Jupiter yes I will use opks. Not sure when to start them. I have a very predictable 28 day cycle when not on the pill. Maybe I'll do the odd one about a week from now once the pill is properly out of my system. Looking forward to my first period so I know where I am.

oyster I'd start about day 7/8 maybe? If you've got the cheap ones then no harm done if takes a bit longer post pill.

Dancing any news? :)

So what are you all up to this weekend? I'm off to a baby shower this afternoon where out of 6 women only me and my friends mum (who is 65yrs) are the only ones not pregnant.. I expect to be extra broody by the end of the day. Glad not AF weekend or might be depressing. However it's ovulation day so going to embrace it and enjoy the baby madness!!

Morning girls,
Had such a good sleep last night, was so tired but it's off to work again this morning.

Shall we start a list of who's in the thread and where everyone is up to in their ttc journey like they do on other threads? Af due date BFP due date, fitness goals (would help me stay on track if it's officially written down!)...just because I keep forgetting where everyone is up to! If you all let me know your stats again I don't mind making the list this afternoon while the footie is on... (unless someone else desperately wants to do it...) xx

Oo, have fun with the baby madness Jupiter!

Fx that first period comes soon oyster! That first month off is annoying! (And I wasn't even ttc then!)

Oh no, hb! That doesn't sound like the ideal first time experience! A story though... at least you'll remember it! And it's so unfair that after lovely holidays work is always so busy. Back to earth with a crash!

Well, two more tests down. Really no hiding the bfp on the digital one.... feels a bit unreal tbh!

Yeaaaaaa!!! Go dancing huge Congratulations!! 😁 xxxxxx

My stats are:

Ttc #1
Cycle 2

jupiter good luck with bd today and touch a few bellys today for luck!

Thanks all!! It's a really bizarre feeling. Not quite real, but real enough... Told oh, who is obviously very happy. But then went back to sleep. I of course was wide awake! Hoping it's ok to stick around a little while!

Mummy, I don't know how you cope with night shifts! It's like torture.

Seems like there will be lots of dtd today! Fx Jupiter and Tigger!

Mrsc have you tested? Fx af not on her way for you this month!

unicorn yep BFN, I know for sure I'm out just want to get AF out of the way!
Your DH must be exhausted from all the excitement!! Have u worked out your due date?
