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!

Thanks glitters that's really reassuring! Keep thinking I need to do more each month when it doesn't work but know that isn't true. Now just have to wait an agonising fortnight aghh..

Have fun mummy, can't wait to hear all about it :)

Ohhh grumpy that's so painful! Stay strong!

Grumpy urgh! Break into the pharmacy?! I'm sure they'll understand!! So excited for you!!

Ovia app is cute! My weeks just changed (8 weeks now! 😮) so we get a new fruit and get a hand size!!! But then she ruined it by telling me I should do half an hour of exercise first thing every day. Erm... F off!!

Lots of milky CM this morning didn't even need to reach in to check it, sorry TMI but lots in knickers

I'm feeling nauseous too.

I can't believe MN is STILL not letting me post these pics

Wow I really mustn't leave it so long between posts, so much to catch up on!!

Good luck today grumpy!! I've got my fx very tight for you!

Dancing ovia sounds much cuter when you actually are pregnant. She drives me mad in the TTC phase :) What fruit size are you?? How exciting.

Grumpy it's all looking so hopeful. Come on MN!!

Come on MN it's a new day

Excuse the grotty bathroom wall (you see why I need to redecorate!)

IC super super faint but I def see it

Morning ladies! Hope we're all well. I had a fun night last night..me and oh went to dtd and I suddenly had really sharp cramps. As you all know I've never had cramps in my life so it's all new to me..didn't know what to do with myself. Didn't know if if needed a poo or needed to be sick l..I only felt comfortable if I was pushing 😂 in the end I was draped in cold flannels and ended up being sick. Who says romance was dead on a Thursday night 😩

Grumpy I can see something on the FRER and it is pink! (And my work computer screen is rubbish) so it must be very good!

Laura that is the cramps I am getting with this fluid around my Ovary! Literally I can't help it my body just pushes!!! Get the hot water bottle out hun it really helps!

Also for all those enjoying dtd atm... ENJOY IT I cannot think of anything other than DTD but really can't bring myself to do it as I am too scared lol! (apparently this is normal)

Jupiter I always have a pouch for a tummy anyways! but I am sure it will start rounding out soon enough lol I am hoping for a tidy bum already know I am going to be a whale

Confused thanks Hun. Water bottle in my bag ready to go to work with me haha. I'm starting to think if it was the condom maybe I can't use latex ones..it's never happened before..I sympathise with you. I only feel comfortable if I'm almost tensing wanting to push..so weird 😔 if it happens again when we dtd mum told me to go to the docs just to double check everything's okay 🤞🏼 on the plus side it's Friday!! What's everybody's plans for the weekend??

I see a faint FRER line grumpy but not IC!

Sounds like an eventful eve laura hope you're feeling better soon... I'd travel everywhere with a hot water bottle if i could, im always cold!

Its my birthday tomo so will be doing some celebrating over the weekend, mainly involving pizza & prosecco!

I see a faint on the FRER aswell grumpy eeeeek!!

Laura u poor thing, something similar happened to me before and it doesn't actually feel like you are giving birth, it's awful, mind yourself!
grumpy ahhh I literally can't wait for u to test again today!!
dancing 8 weeks is so exciting, I'm not even 4 yet! Only a chia seed and no hands!
I did a frer again this morning to check progression and it's def there so not feeling as worried after yesterday's blip! 3 is today's one!

MrsC that looks good! Hope mine comes up clearer today! I worked out that if this is a sticky bean the EDD will be 7 Nov based off LMP. 5 Nov is our wedding anniversary oops!

Ooh grumpy the suspense is killing us!

Enjoy the baby show mummy!

Hope you feel better soon Laura!

Confession time - I took a preg test yesterday and this morning - big negative. Although I was expecting that as it is far too early really. 10DPO tomorrow so maybe there will be something then but no hint of a line so far - not even a squinter so let's see!

Happy weekends ladies!

Grumpy i see something on the frer! I'm hoping you're currently standing outside the pharmacy in preparation... :) Wow!

Sorry about the bfn parsnips! Still loads of time to show up... fx!

Hope you feel better soon Laura!

Jupiter hope the start of the tww flies by for you!!

They didn't have any FRER! Got a clear blue plus but I'll be very surprised if it shows up. Argh! I can't see anything on it yet but it's not an early detection test.

Laura i'm not sure about Latex allergy but i am allergic to sperm and that makes me sort of swell and sort of burn?

Mrs theres good progression in those tests!

Grumpy were those tests from this morning or last night? If you have a superdrug near you their early detection tests are 12.5 mlu i believe and are pink dye!...

Parsnips sorry for BFN but yeah like you said it is well too early to be testing yet! Especially if tests are not sensitive!

Happy TWW Jupiter!!!

Morning! grumpy I can deffo see something on the FRER! Keeping everything crossed for you!!
parsnips sorry about the bfn, when are you going to test again?

The FRER pic was last night (not FMU but 4 hour hold), the IC this morning FMU. Getting some more FRER via Amazon prime this afternoon. Got to try and concentrate on work now!!

Omg grumpy there's definitely something there!! I'm so excited for you right now

Those pains sound horrible Laura!! I'd be making a dr appointment if I were you. Hopefully it was just a one off! X

Parsnips sorry about BFN but you are still very early so hang on in there!!

Ooo Grumpy are you going to wait until tomorrow do do the FRER?
