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!

Morning all! Welcome hotpink!

Haha MrsC your typo has cheered up my Monday morning. "Feeling like dick" can be new early pregnancy symptom :)

Ok I cracked. It's Monday. This is a cheapy Boots own brand pink dye test (apparently 99% accurate 3 days early and 76% accurate 5 days early but I don't know when I ovulated or how long luteal phase is..). It can't be coincidence all these squinters but they don't seem to be getting any darker? Although this was very diluted mid morning wee.. opinions?

The last pic is upside down btw so look to the right of the control

I'm not surprised you cracked, Grumpy, I would too!! But I don't see anything, sorry... Doesn't necessarily mean anything though!

I can't see anything on these unfortunately grumpy I feel your frustration.. I wish there was an easier way to do this!

We have got test drives on Saturday for the new VW Tiguan, Volvo XC60 and Hondas CRV. Although the Volvo is an automatic so I'm shitting myself as last time I drove an auto I'm struggled!

Ahh thanks.. I think I'm actually going mad.

Mummy enjoy the test drives - I don't think I could cope with an automatic either

Ooh I love test drives! I don't trust automatic vehicles, I like to know that I'm in control and it's not going to do something of it's own accord... There driverless vehicle things I keep hearing about in the news make me nervous! Have fun mummy!

Oh grumpy why can't these things just be conclusive! U must be going mad I know I would be! I hope tomorrow morning is conclusive for you! mummy oh I love automatic cars, I had one once and it was the best! Enjoy test driving! I've definitely convinced myself I'm pregnant now and 8dpo, determined to wait to test till Friday but I do have pelvic pain and nausea on and off! Last cycle I knew I wasn't pregnant and I had 0 symptoms so I feel like any symptom must mean something now! Poor DS has tonsillitis so antibiotics for 5 days but he should start to feel better quickly now!

Also I did as confused recommended and commented on a random thread on ovia and I am a fuschia puma! Very exciting! speaking of confused I really hope scan went swimmingly!! 💜 💜

HBH04, we go to Cuba in October, so a longish flight, plus I have 3 Dc's already with Birthdays in December and February!!! X

How did the scan go confused ?

grumpy I can see anything on those, sorry. But those symptoms are hard to argue with.

Hi newcomers!

So I am heading into FW now, planning lots of DTD this week. DH and I not normally ones for loads of midweek sex so psyching myself up. Who else is FW this week? jupiter? mummy ?

MrsC how exciting if we both get BFPs! I'm trying to give up hope slowly given the lack of an obvious line at this point, as I don't want to be devastated when AF arrives, but finding it hard to ignore symptoms. Honestly I think if it's not this cycle I need someone to stop me POASing 🙈🙈🙈

Haha grumpy the poas addiction is real!
So sorry but I can't see anything on those :(
I really think you are, you can't argue with those symptoms, but do you think you've geared yourself up or you'll be ok if AF arrives?

confused hope it all went well.

Test driving new cars is always fun!

grumpy have you got anything to distract your self until Thursday?? Take up knitting or something?

Volvo only had an automatic in the show room for test driving. OH loves an automatic, I am not a fan. Very excited though.
orange my fertile week starts Friday I think, and I should ovulate the following Wednesday. I'll start my CB OPK on Wednesday this week

And I will not symptom spot this month. No not at all. I'm cycle 4 and every cycle particularly the last one I was full of symptoms, I've decided they are all just normal female symptoms and because I've been on the pill it has stopped them

I feel the same way mummy. I think I'll be fine if AF arrives (it's the not knowing if I can drink / if I should get excited), I'll just feel silly for all the symptom spotting! It's true that being on the pill means we just aren't used to the hormonal fluctuations!

Buzz I've got a big week at work so should be sufficiently distracted. But I want to test Wednesday morning to decide if I can have a glass of wine at the client dinner (it'll be massively suspicious if I don't)

Wtf - I am a silver sloth on Ovia 😂😂😂😂

The absolute cheek!

Parsnips your animal changes every time!!

Ooh I am now a teal spider monkey. Think I preferred the sloth. It's going to be a long afternoon hahah

grumpy totally agree that it's he not knowing/waiting which is the most frustrating. And I'm sure it doesn't get better when you get pregnant as confused had found! - sorry you did say about your work thing, I forgot! Really hope Wednesday gives you a clear result 🤞🏼

Heyyy ladies!!!

Grumpy I am sorry but I cannot see anything in the pics.. but those tests are not very sensitive anyway! What CD are you now?

The scan went well.. We saw Bubble very tiny in a little Sac with a faint yolk sac seen also which means right on track for being 5+4. They have ruled out an Ectopic completely and the pain is being caused by the fluid around my Ovary and the folicle where the egg came from and until the Placenta takes over there is very little that can be done. I have another scan on 13th to see if there is a heartbeat and if the fluid has reduced at all (I will be 7+4 by LMP at that point). I get the impression that once they have seen the heartbeat they will be happy to discharge me from the EPU which is obviously good news but I know I will be rubbish at waiting between appointments lol

Fab news confused you must be over the moon 🙂
