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!

Not sure why double post happened, also hi laura hope cramps ease soon love

Well how are we all doing today? Almost the weekend for me. Just tomorrow to get out of the way. I'm going to see Rod Stewart in Abu Dhabi tomorrow night with the girls! Not sure I know much of his stuff but I reckon he will be good! Happy first of March to everyone - this year is flying in!

Yey welcome back Laura, i bet you can't wait for your wedding

I can't believe it is March Parsnips!! Crazy isn't it?

Can't believe it's March already D:

I'm angry at myself for getting excited that my period is a measly day late, and trying to will myself not to run out and get a pregnancy test from the shopping centre at 12pm on the dot!!! I hate feeling all bubbly with excitement for no reason and knowing I'm going to be disappointed soon :( At least it's sunny huh :)

Ah glitters well done for staying strong! Im wearing a pad today just in case AF shows but hoping that Sod's law will help me out!
I'm just in a meeting and got told I look great hoping it's pregnancy glow

I know how time is flying!... so my risk assessment has been put back again until tomorrow but i don't mind too but at the moment... although its all had to be made formal in writing and i cant help but think i'm tempting fate!

Also i think the nausia is kicking in in waves... i'm not remotely interested in food unless its carbs ans i just want to curl up in a ball and sleep... whoever said Pregnancy is Glamourous is wrong lol

I did order the cutest pramsuit today though! Ive attached the pic

I just want to say sorry to all those with BFN it could be too early but if AF does turn up then have a massive glass of wine and all the Pate you can eat! Lol

Feel dizzy and nauseous now wtf! At least if AF is on the way spare me these symptoms

Aww thank you Gurmpy and confused

Poor you Grumpy, we're in the same boat still, I of course couldn't resist testing so I popped the boots and compromised by getting the pack of 5 test strips. BFN of course, but convinced myself after a couple of minutes they were squinters :( Also when I wiped I had (TMI sorry!) tinged CM so sure AF is on the way. I wish I could just give up hope but part of me is like, if you thought you OV'd on CD19 it could be implantation! My logical brain is just like "please give up", haha. Wishing you a gentle AF filled with much chocolate and cuddles, or better yet a late BFP

confused the nausea is really tough isn't it, poor you :( I read a really interesting thing about Chinese lore about morning sickness, if you feel hot and uncomfortable try and eat cooling flavours like mint to alleviate nausea, and if you feel cold/feverish and want to be wrapped up in bed, try hot things like ginger :)

Omfg there really is a terribly faint line I have been trolled by the strip tests before though, so treating it as an evap for now :(

glitters ooo, I really hope this is positive for you and also..... I'm going to come clean seeing as you have, tested with an IC this morning and got an absolute squinter, like it won't show up in photos faint,even inverted, but having seen what everyone has been through with these squinters.... Well First you would think I would know better and second I'm not treating it as anything until I get something definitive! So wasn't going to say anything bug I'll hold your hand in squinterland glitters!

Ooooh thank you MrsC, and well done for confessing!!

Really hope it's something for both of us, and Grumpy, really trying not to get hopes up! I did 2 and there are realllllly faint lines on both of them, but at the same time when I wiped I thought I saw AF coming, so who knows

We'll test again tomorrow morning, I'm desperate to get home from work so I can get DP to analyse the pee sticks!

I've seen faint lines on pretty much every test (even FRER!) except the last 2, so I think they are evaps! Hope yours are more meaningful glitter and mrs!

You're right Grumpy :( I haven't seen them on most tests but I have had the odd strip test that has given me a visible line even when I've not been pregnant, even after only a few minutes. I do think I'm out this month, the only thing keeping me going is the fact that is was 2 different tests, but not sure how valid that is!

I'll probably be compelled to test every bloody day until AF is here now though

Exactly grumpy which is why I'm mad for testing early I was so sure I would wait til Friday this time and then know one way or another! We should start a squinters anonymous club

glitters got my fingers crossed for you. Hopefully its a BFP that sticks around.

mrsc fingers crossed for you aswell girl! I had a scare a few months back and was convinced I was going to get bfp and almost convinced myself and OH so when it was bfn we were secretly both disappointed.

I cannot wait to start TTC properly come end of April. Seems so far away for me though :( on the plus side its my birthday in 18 days and I finally got OH to cave and go and get me my professional camera that I've been wanting for ages. So fed up with work, selling our house and wedding planning and wanting to pass time away so its my time to get my BFP its the only thing thats cheered me up.

More cramping today, hoping my cycle doesnt come at 21 days... I really want it to fall back into 28 :(

Also this may be a pre AF thing but at yoga last night I had literally NO strength. Never felt that weak EVER. I'm in a meeting still feeling carsick dizzy and spaced out, with backache (possible AF sign..). Need to do a knicker check

grumpy nothing better to do on a Wednesday than a quick knicker check. Unlike me who was already like a walking zombie when I come to work one Monday not expecting withdrawal bleed to happen so quick and to ruin my knickers :( thank god I put on a black skirt and tights that day thats for sure! That was a bad day...happy hump day!

grumpy for the 2 days before I got my BFP I felt like someone had kicked my in my back and then I had funny spells of dizzyness also!

I am excited about all these squinters girls... hopefully we will see some pictures with BFP's on soon!

Hows my preggo girls Tigger and Dancing getting on?

Also cycle twin Jupiter hows DTD going?

I've just been given sushi in this lunch meeting. I'm fully invoking Sod's Law today! Wine later. This guarantees a BFP right?

I want to see squinter pics - i need to train my eyes to see them!

confused and grumpy when I fell pregnant the first time round I remember laying on my floor crying my eyes out and adamant I was paralyzed because the back ache was ridiculous to the point I actually went to A&E. I still to this day dont understand how they didnt pick up a pregnancy but I suppose they werent looking for it. Fingers crossed for you BFP soon

We're Zika free!

On to making a baby!

Yes to sod's Law grumpy!!

I ruined my squinter!! D:

I hid it in my handbag and when I went to see if it had any colour on it in the toilets, I rubbed in and it's all smudged and flecked off now! Was hoping to upload :( Well I will do another one tonight tomorrow morning and try and upload a good shot :)
