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!

grumpy i'm mostly feeling annoyed that my body isn't doing what i want it to! I have never wished for AF before!!

confused fab news on the scratch card! That will boost the baby fund!!
I am testing in the morning, certain it's going to be a bfn though... Are you testing too?

I had a dream last night that I had quintuplets

Confused amazing on the scratch card!! What a start to the week!

Wiggly also struggling to concentrate. Luckily I'm really busy atm, which definitely helps.

Just walked past a mothercare. Made me ache!

Fx to those testing tomorrow!!

Busy wow! That would be a lot. I've imagined having twins... but quints!

Grumpy squirrel yes increased discharge clear. Only real sign so far.

If it helps i came off cerezette end of november. Af week before xmas. Now pg.

Told dh when he was home about 10pm a lot of wows. Ended up dtd after one thing lead to another.
Now he cant stop telling me how excited he is!

Holly it sounds amazing! Such an exciting time for you! :D

Hello ladies

Age 38
Ttc #2 (DS age 6 but had a preg loss previously also)
Cycle 4
CD 4

Joining in for moral support. Have lost 2 stone on last year but would love to lose more. Went to fertility acupuncturist today and starting with her next cycle. Really focused with food and exercise this last week and really want it to last. Acupuncturist told me we should all be taking ( as well as Folic acid of course)
Omega 3
Vit D
Coenzyme q 10

Not sure if anyone taking any of them
Congrats holly- here's hoping we will have many more bfps

holly Aww how exciting for you guys!!
unicorn tonight could be the trick, I'm currently waiting for DH to get home but I'm tired so...... We may not make it
rascal I have a dream about triplets... What are we like!!
confused u lucky thing, I think you are the first person i have ever heard win more than a 5er on a scratch card
Right I'm gonna try stay awake for ten more minutes..... The It'll be zzzz BD or no BD! Good luck to tomorrow's testers!

Wow! Just had to catch up 6 pages since last night. Haven't had time to post but have been reading every day! So exciting!

Holly congratulations!! Yay first thread bfp! Brilliant news.

Confused you are having a crazy week! I could just do with £1000... Think I might get myself a scratch card as this is a lucky thread.

I think it was red who is having a mega long first post pill cycle. Totally been there with feeling like everything is asleep down there! Hold on in there, she'll turn up soon xx

I've been having a very odd cycle as now on CD 13 but had spotting each day since af which I never have. Almost like af is still lingering on. Then yesterday it was like a light af and now today totally gone. Don't know if I should be worried or not?!

Diet went well last week. I was so good. Then had some treats over the weekend but nothing too mad. Back being very good today but not lost anything as yet! Ahh well! There's always next week!

Exciting news for some of us girls!!
Just to recap stats:
Age: 32
TTC #1

Not starting TTC until end of April/May. Hoping to lose 2 stones first but it's easier said than done!! Trying the 5:2 and trying to be good the rest of the week. I definitely could have done better this week but it wasn't too bad- weekends are my let down as DH and I like to eat out/ socialise with drinks quite a bit!! Hoping the 5:2 will help with this. Also have just got back into my running. Need to try to be good and get back to the gym again this week!!

Good look with the tests!!
Ps I bough my first couple of bits of baby clothes in the sale today at John Lewis- I just couldn't resist!! Had to go gender neutral as wouldn't plan on finding out anyway. Think I'm going to have to have a baby box and hide it from my DH so he doesn't get freaked out already!! Has anyone else done this???

Holly thanks that's good to know! Aww your DH reaction sounds lovely

I woke up at 3am and stupidly decided to test, as was paranoid about missing FMU. Anyway it was so diluted not sure I've done anything other than waste a FRER of course it was negative, I'm just annoying myself now so sworn off POAS for at least a week and just going to wait for AF.

Good luck this morning red and confused!

Morning ladies! Sorry just briefly jumping in to say got anoter very faint line on a test this morning but not holding out much hope... if there is a bean i think AF is gonna get to it first =(

I'll catch up with everyones posts later on this morning

Aww Confused don't get too disheartened! What CD are you on? Is it possible it's still too early?

Grumpy I know how frustrating it can be to waste a test! It's almost like you come out of a baby crazy trance the minute you realise it's a BFN. I went through the same thing when I came off Mireya. We dtd the day before removal and I'd heard that can be enough as you're unprotected from then. Waiting for my withdrawal bleed was a mix between symptom spotting, POAS then getting annoyed at myself for getting my hopes up.

Dinosaur I've done lots of window shopping but haven't had the nerve to actually buy anything yet! You are ttc around the same time as me so maybe I should too! Opens up JL website.

Morning, fingers crossed it gets stronger confused

Bfn for me too, grumpy
I was very relaxed, poas and then put it on the shelf and had a shower i'm not worried this month but i would like AF now! I had funny feelings down there in bed last night so thought i'd wake up to a mess but no such luck, i even put clean white sheets on the bed on Sunday but sods law failed me

Thanks guys, fx AF comes for us* soon Red*

On a positive note, I've lost 2lb so yesterday's +1lb on the week must have been bloating

Morning ladies!
confused don't be disheartened. If there is a faint line it still could be something. How many dpo are you? It's hard. I convinced myself I would conceive straight away this time after last time and got so upset when I had BFN. I try to keep telling myself its more likely to be 6months down the line 😞

grumpy stay positive and fx for AF turning up soon!!

We didn't dtd last night as DP was feeling 'broken' from our efforts on previous nights 😩🙄 my cervix is high and closed this morning so I guess that's my chances this month closed. Although Ovia says I have 3more fertile days still 🤔

confused fx! It might just be too early but there's definitely something there!

dinosaur that's such a good idea! I think I might have to start a baby box! Totally agree with wiggly though, I don't know if I have the nerve! DP is just as baby obsessed so don't think he'd care too much but I'd probably still hide it 🙈

I seen stuck at the same weight, is really annoying! If I'm honest, i think it might be the leftover Christmas chocolates that may or may not be right by the sofa and getting smaller and smaller by the day.. I should just have a binge this weekend shouldn't I? Eat them all then there's nothing tempting in the house? (I mean I could donate them, but where's the fun in that)

I'm 11dpo Wiggley if last night was proper implantation then it is a bit too early yes...

Also i took the cover off and there is deffo a darker line than before its pink and everything!! I am trying to get a good pic of it bit i can't

Hi Dinosaur i just got some tommee tippee bits in the sale

Sorry about the BFN for Grumpy and Red

Fingers crossed for you Mummy

Why don't lines photograph in real life!!

It must be frustrating confused that it's not showing up in your photos. Try and put it out of your mind if you can. It's still really early. All these tests and pee sticks are making me feel really anxious 😩

I think when my time comes I'm going to try to wait each month until after missed AF - it's just mental anguish otherwise.

Hopefully you get a darker line over the next few days.

confused that's so exciting!! Wow it really is your lucky week!

It is frustrating Theres because i want to believe it so much!.. and i know it is darker but i can't show any proof

I hope so Buzz but i guess i will know by Friday when AF is due because i'm like clockwork!

I'm not clued up on AF symptoms. Before birth control, i never had cramps or anything, AF would just appear out of the blue. I wish i knew my body better! I have absolutely no idea what a normal cycle was before birth control either, pretty sure i was very irregular.

To be honest Red all i have read on MN has told me there is no difference between AF symptoms and PG symptoms... so they arn't helpful to know anyways! Lol
