Get Ready For Baby Challenge - Part 4

[HopefullyDothButterNoParsnips]

The thread where it does exactly what it says on the tin! We are all either actively TTC or preparing ourselves for TTC - come join us! Big thanks to confused for getting the last two threads going!

hb what do you do if you don't mind me asking?

No, nothing's going on at all!!! I don't really get pre AF symptoms though.

buzz im a mobile hairdresser... i've had lots of my clients for years so they feel like friends! For some reason people want to share their secrets with their hairdresser... im just not going to share mine!

Oh gosh yeah hb I feel like people would feel like they can ask you all sorts!!

I can understand you're upset confused, sending hugs to you!

Very pretty nails, parsnips!

Can't wait to check in in the morning! So many testers! 😁 This is so exciting! Thank you for letting me live through you whilst I wait and prep.

My countdown calendar says to start prenatal vitamins this month and I bought seven seas a few months ago in preparation. Now I'm having second thoughts! What is everyone else taking? Maybe I should throw them in case they ruin my cycle too!

I'm taking pregnacare wiggley Although I have convinced myself they are giving me an eye twitch! Think I might be getting too much vit D or B vits...

Finally home after delayed flights and never ending bus journeys!! Was worth it though, had a ball!
I'm very excited to log on in the morning and hopefully will see new BFPs to add to the group!!
dinosaur and wiggly I have seen that on other threads about 7seas! I'm just taking individual vit D, folic acid and vit c on their own!
Hugs confused I'm sure you're feeling anxious about everything so hard to hear things like that!
parsnips I love your nails, fab!
hb I'm sure u get told all sorts!! Hairdressers are like therapists for some people!
So of course I have convinced myself I am def pregnant this cycle, somebody please talk sense into me! I have a twinge in my left side, it's probably wind and bloating yet I am conjuring up images of implantation! #NeedToGetAGrip
Also I am back on the healthy eating bandwagon from tomorrow, I have been very bold on holidays!!

You never know mrs! We love a symptom spot hear! Fx!
I compared the boxes of the pregnacare and wilko skin hair nails and it was pretty much the same! All the folic acid vit d etc that you need! And only like £2!

Ha thanks buzz I'll carry on spotting so! and you're totally right we often pay for the brand name I think, I do love me a generic!
I forgot to bring my retainers with me and just put mine in now and oh god the agony, feel like my gum is being shredded by the bottom one!

Of course I woke up an hour early! Tested with a FRER just now but it's a paper white BFN. Maybe it's best to be let down gently will try to wait until at least Monday to test again, such an expensive habit! Must not do this next TWW. Will have to think of another coping mechanism.

Good luck penguin and glitters

As someone who got pregnant by accident at 18, Mother Nature is really irritating me now!

Awk grumpy! How frustrating. It's so difficult because your me obviously keen to test and then we have no idea if we are just under the limits for detection and tomorrow could be enough for BFP. I think even getting the squinter is frustrating as you can't rely on them until it's a clear line! So annoying.

It will come soon enough! Hang in there love!

*you are

Not your me 😳

Thanks parsnips. I now have terrible AF like backache! And a slightly wet left nipple.. (like a tiny drop of something....!!!)

grumpy I'm with you being irritated by Mother Nature right now.. getting pregnant 3years ago whilstnin the pill and missed a few.. now I'm on cycle 4 of TTC!!

Mummy it's not fair is it?! I just had a little cry on DH. He said we'll "try properly" next month (EOD all cycle and every day in FW!). He said "don't worry squirrel, it'll happen". I luffs him

Sorry grumpy, your DH sounds lovely!

Aw, I'm sorry grumpy. :( fx your af symptoms are just screwing with you and you'll get that bfp later on!

Morning all! Sorry to hear about your BFN, grumpy. Your DH sounds lovely

Any news glitter?

I also got a BFN ... Never mind, I might test again next week if AF doesn't arrive. But here's to another month of loads of shagging!!

Sorry to hear that penguin!

Thanks for all the support guys.. on the bright side it's Friday and it's sunny!

If no AF by Monday I'll test again .. going to focus on other things over the weekend.

Sorry about bfn penguin! Hope both you guys have great weekend plans to distract you!

Sorry to all those who tested and got BFN this morning... but its not over until AF shows!

Grumpy your DH sounds like a dream!... mine is running on overtime atm making midnight hot water bottles for me! Lol... i guess its like getting nightfeed practise in looool

Grumpy you’re definitely not out yet! Could easily have a BFN on Sunday. I think I said it before but testing early does sort of psychologically prepare yourself for both outcomes I think, rather than fixating on just one as inevitable. Hope you’re okay? It will happen! Your DH is a sweetheart.

Sorry about your BFN penguin but lots of lovely shagging to look forward to :)

MrsC hope you had an amazing time! You may well be pregnant (sorry, I’m not helping am I?!) Not symptom spotting is impossible. I’m just taking Boots vit D, folic acid and vit C (plus zinc) at the moment too. 3 for 2 on all vitamins at boots and pretty cheap.

Ugh, thank god it's Friday!

Thanks Jupiter I'm ok just want to know for sure! If I get AF next week that's good in a way as we have a huge work event the following week with pretty much compulsory drinking (I was wondering how on earth I'd cover it up..)

Aww sorry about bfns you two xxxx

I've tried the 7 seas twice now, haven't noticed any major impact but I was having longer cycles anyway and they deffo didn't bring them down like some women say they do. This cycle I have just been on the plain old folic acid (from aldi!!)
