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!

Haha, thanks all. I don't think it could do that much harm in the 2ww either. Think alcohol can effect egg quality but given eggs take about 4 months to develop (or something like that!) my drinking at the moment can't impact too much. It's actually really nice to relax and will put us in the mood for tonight yay.

I've had two small glasses of wine, a beer and a sip of champagne in this TWW.. I figure if it's too early to know, it doesn't count! Having said that, drinking has just made me feel weird, so I'm avoiding it now until AF comes.

Dancing and Jupiter - I think it's fine before we ovulate. I had a little google and some articles even suggested it's good for your fertility!

So I did my first OPK this morning (eep), and got a faint line. Obv not a positive yet, but I was wondering how long the veteran OPKers tend to get the faint line before getting a positive?

Oh god now I know about harmony I want to find just even more!!

I hope a small amount of alcohol will be okay 🤞🏼

Guys I'm holding out some hope. I inverted my FRER pic from this morning. I can see "something"... but I can't bloody post it!! Apparently I've reached my 6 photo limit how is that possible when I only posted a couple this morning?? Argh

I've posted 1 photo today I checked! Wtf? @mumsnetHQ

Agh! How annoying, come on mumsnet we need to see this :)

So annoying! I might get some cheap Wilko tests (I think they are pink dye)

In other news I found folic acid in Lidl for 69p for 180 tablets!!

You know grumpy I just looked at your photo again and I might possibly be able to see something... very very very faint but possibly. I inverted it and whatever I can see I think has a slight glow.... maybe possibly 😶

Thanks mummy. There is something .. both DH and DD can see it. This proves why testing early is madness lol

Confused to the rescue!!... here is an inverted pic for Grumpy

I deffo saw a faint one this morning for you hun but didn't want to be the only one after last night! There is deffo a line now!!

Thank you so much confused!!

I'm tentatively hoping 🤞🏼

Don't want to use my remaining FRER before Tuesday but will see if I can get to Wilko tonight or tomorrow

The only thing i would say about Wilko is their sensitivity is only 20mlu at best... i had a really bright line on FRER before i got a line on their tests...

If you have a little chemist near you they might do FRER cheaper... there is one near me that does them for £7.99 for 2!

There is a pharmacy opposite us but I don't think it's open Sunday.. thanks for the heads up about the sensitivity I was trying to google it but no luck. Might just have to wait!! At least next week there should be a good line if I am indeed pregnant

I can see something too! Tentative excitement for you tomorrow or when you next test, yay x

Oh grumpy I really hope this is it for you, keeping everything crossed for you!

Still keeping fingers crossed for you Grumpy!

Hope you're all enjoying the rest of your weekends. Happy 'monday' to me!

Morning all :)

confused is it your scan tomorrow? How are you feeling lovely?

Grumpy are you going to test again today? Fingers crossed!! I dreamt you were pregnant last night (sorry if that sounds really weird!)

We DTD last night as planned, let DH initiate it which was nice too. Back on it tomorrow! Love being in the fertile week as feels like I'm being proactive. Am hoping his Wellman tablets will have made some super-sperm this month!

Parnsips- have a happy Monday!

I tested this morning, sure I'd see a line but it's even squintier than yesterday so am totally depressed. DH says just wait for AF and I'm inclined to think he's right- if no AF by next weekend then something's definitely off.

Thanks Jupiter not weird - lovely that you guys are thinking of me xx

Backache today so wonder if AF is coming soon

Grumpy i still think i can see something!... my FRER were very squinty at first remember! The only time i got a bright bright line was day after AF due and my blood test said HCG was 95.4 the day before that so although they are sensitive and a line is there its just bloody hard to see! Lol... i also had backache too!

Thanks Jupiter the scan is tomorrow at 11.40... my family getting all excited about it and wanting a picture if we can! Hopefully Bubble lives up to its name!... ive got PIL round today but i have really been slacking on the cleaning so my morning is gonna be full of Housework! 😞 Lovely to hear that you and DH are back on dtd this cycle i can't believe its going so fast!!

Thanks confused that's good to hear! I'm still feeling seasick too. Best of luck for bubble's scan! So exciting!

I can definitely see something in the second picture Grumpy!! You're definitely not out at all (far from it!) just your hcg needs time to double. We're all here whatever the outcome. Do you still have the nausea?

confused so excited for your scan. What an magical time!! Can't wait to hear all about it. Hope the housework isn't too horrible this morning :) I think because I tend to ovulate CD12 it does come round quickly for me haha, which is good given my general impatience. Trying to think positive this month x

Oh cross post Grumpy the sickness is a good sign!
