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!

Good luck with peak jupiter!!! Fx for you!!!

Yellowish CM on pad. sorry TMI. milky white and lots of it when I check. Still got constant backache. No AF. How can I not be???

:O What is the Replacement on, BBC? DP is downstairs but I feel sleepy and a bit crap, sitting in bed with the laptop! Need something good to watch

Confused wedding plans are all under control I think.. not to sure what I'm doing for my birthday probably end up going out for a nice meal and steak. Needless to say my dog is my model for the time being..I've been wanting one for ages so I'm happy I've got one and can capture all those lovely moments when I finally get my bfp.

So happy for some more bfps..that's made my week and what a lovely way to start a new month!

I think you probably are grumpy, especially as AF a no show. You didn't get BFP for ages with your first pregnancy right? Still so much hope!

Thanks MrsC, has it sunk in yet? :)

Hb forgot to ask did your partner get zika tested too? Yay to OPK-ing x

grumpy at least you know from your dd that you might not get a bfp till a week after af, I'm almost positive you're preggers! I've never known so many symptoms! I bloody hope you are 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

glitters yes BBC, was excellent although made me feel really anxious watching it ha. Very tense...

Sorry laura when's your wedding date? I forgot... May?

laura what a lovely present and a lovely model!

jupiter pretty frustrated today - did OPK twice and it was really faint again both times. Starting to wonder if I am too hydrated, or what the hell is going on. Plus I feel like I should be DTDing tonight and instead DH is out getting pissed. Hoping tomorrow will be better - I will just pretend Ovia is right even if the OPKs don't come up!! How are you?

Yes jupiter We both got tested... DH was always going to cos he got bitten & then they recommended i did even tho i didn't get bitten, to be on the safe side (💰)

The replacement is SO dark! I can't see where theyre going with it! Only 3 parts tho so we'll soon find out!

orange do you normally have regular cycles or is Ovia making it up? Think she just averages previous data. Tomorrow may be the day? I use clearblue OPK and only got a peak today when I got home at 6pm (did two earlier today - obsessive - and they didn't register LH surge). Are you getting other symptoms? I'm okay thanks, can feel ovulation due as have left pelvic and back pain and very bloated. Roll on the 2ww and symptom spotting together :)

Hb Oh yes of course, I'd forgotten your DH got nibbled. Was definitely worth the cost. You must be so excited to be properly starting!

Yes I'm always super-regular - exactly 28 days, and I had a copper coil before TTC so no hormones adjusting. I got that clear skin and blushing cheeks thing I normally get around fertile(?) time of the month earlier in the week, but not much in the way of EWCM this month. I'm only using the cheapie sticks so maybe that is another issue haha! But great that you know you're on track. Yes, not long now jupiter!

Hb I know, wasn't expecting the ending of the first episode!!

I feel I'm really missing out on the replacement, must try to stream it illegally and catch up!

Oh am sure you're right on time then orange and maybe OPKs just not playing along. Your body is telling you you're nice and fertile and that's the most reliable signal. Good luck!

mrs why can't you get iplayer?

Thanks Jupiter and buzz I guess I'll know either way in a week or so! It's just such a long wait! Also I may still be irregular post pill so chances are AF is not late at all but just hiding around the corner.. so frustrating as I've been in the TWW for over two weeks now and feels like a lifetime! Backache is now constant which is either a positive sign or a sign that AF is imminent now!

And yes I know from DD that it took me ages to get a BFP last time but that was all clearblue tests 12 years ago so I was hoping a FRER might show up sooner.

Tomorrow's plan: cheapy IC test (they arrived!).
& repeat..

If and ONLY IF when I get a proper squinter on an IC I'll break out my remaining FRER.

buzz u can't get it outside of the UK unfortunately!
grumpy Fx for u in the morning, I really hope u get some answers!

Thanks, just watched it! Very scary :O

That's very sensible Grumpy, I've decided to do the same instead of getting another test, as last time I got a hint of one squinter I went out and bought ALL THE TESTS haha. If I get a line tomorrow again I will start treating it less like an evap and more like a possible BFP :)

I didn't want to jinx it by telling anyone even DP, but since I think AF or a BFP is imminent, I have a secret theory this month about why I might be pregnant... Every month without fail a few days before I get my period, I get the same little row of gross spots on my chin on the right hand side, and only there. This month, I got a little row of spots, on the RIGHT HAND SIDE! I've been secretly hoping since something is different this month, it must be a sure sign, right??

No wait, I mean I got them on the other side this month baby brain maybe?

Lol glitters fx it's a sign! I have a very painful spot on my upper lip just below my nose.. ouch!!! Hope it's not an AF spot 😡

Congratulations MrsC fantastic news. Another pre seed lube success.

I am awaiting my delivery of lube this week. Just. Ack from seeing 50 shades

I hope so too Grumpy

Seeing the squinters, even though I'm fairly sure they are evaps, has actually made me realise I'm a little anxious about being pregnant again

Anyone testing soon want to list their symptom spotting?

I have:

Loud blurps - I never do it much normally, even if I have fizzy drinks!
A dull pain on the right have side of my lower abdomen
A different pattern of hormonal spots than usual
A long period of EWCM like mucus over my 2WW
Feeling slightly nauseous
Feeling restless/pre-occupied/kind of excited over nothing.

What have you got ladies??
