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!

Hope it passes soon Grumpy or that you get your BFP!

I have had hiccups for an hour, nothing is shifting them and i now have a hiccup induced headache!!

I'm so confused!
What's going on with my stupid body?!
So I am on CD 13, Had a week long af, two day break then 4 days of spotting/ like actual blood then brown stuff (sorry tmi). Today I decided to do an opk because I could feel some twinges around my left ovary and it's a blazing positive, came up after about a min...My cycles have been around 40 days although they have been coming down and last month ov was about CD24.
I'm so messed up! This has completely thrown me...now I'm feeling the need to be sexy and I'm just not! Meh!

Oh seven that's annoying but hopefully your cycles will settle down for you and this information will at least help Ovia recalculate things for you. If you're not feeling up to it today then give it a miss and see if you feel more in the mood tomorrow. I've not had any ov pain yet. I'm on CD13. Keep waiting for it. I'm sure I've had them in the past and just not realized what they were!

I had the blood test... now just got to wait to see what the HCG rise is... theres nothing more to do now than wait!

Mummy when are you testing again?

Good job on the Gym Mummy

How many dpo are you Grumpy? I was also a chronic thrush sufferer and onlu the tablet gets rid of it for me!

Hows my twinny Jupiter getting on?

Seven arn't you up to test soon? Sorry if i have that completely wrong! Lol

Also i just want to say a massive thank you to you all... whether i'm growing a bubble or i'm joining you all back on the TTC wagon i couldn't ask for better people to share the journey with!

Ok wow obv my phone didnt update the new messages

Seven could you not jump DH today just so you know you've got at least one shot for this month?... think of the potential bubble you could create!!!

Confused how long do you have to wait for the results?! 🤞🏼👶🏼

I am now 7dpo. The thrush is odd because I rarely get it. It's a bit better today. I swear my boobs are bigger! Symptom spotting is driving me crazy. I'm going to OPK again tonight to fight the POAS addiction. I go from being convinced it's worked to convinced it hasn't. I've been waking up at 4am the past two nights! I normally sleep like the dead!

Seven that's good though in a way - maybe a sign your cycles are becoming a more normal length?

I think you should go for it Seven! There's a chance you're having a shorter cycle and AF will turn up again in a couple of weeks. Maybe this is your body finding its rhythm.

Seven that's annoying!! You'll just have to jump DH this eve...

I'm CD13 and having the opposite with my OPK's, seem to be a total squinter today after 4 days of obvious but faint lines. I don't know how long my cycle will be yet so i'm probably testing a little early.

Fingers crossed for bood results confused, when do you get them?

FX confused you get a high HCG result today. Will they call with the result today?

I retest tomorrow although I don't have a FRER in the house, only ICs. I thought AF had started yesterday but it hadn't. I have thick creamy white CM today and some shooting pain in boobs earlier. More backpain today aswell. I'm always so tempted to have bloods taken at work to see if my HCG is rising.. would take the guessing out!!

Ahhh mummy that must be soooo tempting!! You are 12DPO tomorro ? I've got the white thick CM too.. argh hope it's a sign! Can't wait to see your update tomorrow (btw I though my the IC also have 10miu sensitivity like FRER?)

Haha I sounds so offended that I'm ovulating don't I! It was just a shock. Will Deffo hump him later.

I would absolutely love a bubble of my own Confused :)

Mummy I'd be so tempted if I was you. It does sound all good tho. I have my fingers, toes and everything crossed for everyone! X

*jump!!!! (well I guess hump aswell....)

confused 🤞🏼 When do you get the results? Keeping everything crossed for your bubble.

Haha seven you get humping!!

mummy, grumpy 🤞🏼 For you too!

Seven spat biscuit out laughing! Thought you were being really bold with your hump comment!

I should get a call this evening or tomorrow morning... i called the ward at 5.15 just to see (as they didnt chase and it took till today to gets saturdays levels back) and the sister said she'll ask the doctor to call me as she cant read out levels because they have to put a plan in place... every minute waiting feels like a lifetime atm! Lol

Grumpy 7dpo is literally the worst!! Like you are half way but its felt like a lifetime already!!

Mummy did you have spotting? Could it have been implantation!?!?... i know it must be so tempting!... my mum works in a hospital (the one i wanted to go to) and i know if i had gone there i would have had my results as soon as the lab did them!... i deffo think you should do it!

My CM was thick and white but in my pants it was watery....

Haha Seven that has cracked me up!... we will get you a bubble! Especially if you hump jump your husband tonight! Lol... also keep opking because you might have a longer LH surge!

I honestly cant stop laughing about humping

Hope you have tea and cake to help with the waiting confused! Really hope they have gone you tonight!! 💐

Also did we all agree on nips? 😂

Grumpy how is your nausea? All your symptoms (including thick white CM) sound really hopeful! The waiting is so unbearable.

seven your cycles are settling down which is great - yup, jump him tonight! And hump him! Haha. Then you can enjoy the fun of the 2ww :)

confused fingers crossed! Really hope they get back to you tonight so at least you can relax this evening. I’m good thank you, back from our posh hotel and into the real world (almost a relief). Has been lovely to spend proper time with DH and as I have AF there’s been no DTD-ing. Has been really nice actually just having time together, focusing on other things. Will start our eod routine from Saturday though. I suppose that’s the good thing about having relatively short cycles - you go from BFN to ovulation seemingly so quickly.

mummyme god that must be so tempting! How sensitive are your ICs?

I'm ok at the moment actually. The sickness comes and goes. Guess what arrived though! Can't wait to surprise DH when I get my BFP! Of course I'll have jinxed it now..

Such a good way of telling your DH Grumpy - very cute!

DH has hinted he really wants us to find out I'm pregnant at the same time so could I only do tests when we're together. I can see the reason for this but practically will be very difficult (we only have one day off at the same time each week) and also he doesn't know I am a POAS addict He isn't being controlling at all and would totally understand if I did do it without him, but also I want to respect his wishes. I actually liked testing early last month as helped me gently get used to idea of not being pregnant rather than raising hopes for two weeks and then being majorly disappointed. Also part of me wants to do it alone so all I have to worry about is my own sadness. Tricky one.

I dont think i am finding out tonight as i called again (very impatient i know) and they said they only have one doctor on the ward [mean doctor] and he is busy with an emergency which obv i totally understand ... the annoying thing is DH was given paid leave for past 2 days as i'm meant to be on bedrest and we were meant to find out by now but tomorrow morning when they call I'll be on my own!

I'm glad you got some quality time with DH Jupiter and i understand your battle with testing... if you can act surprised i would test without him first to give you an idea before him... but thats just me as a poas addict impatient person

Grumpy are you going to wear tge badge to surprise DH? Also I forgot to say the other day... i also have a really messy DH and honestly its so aggrovating! Like why cant you just pick stuff up and put it away !?!?!?... yesterday i asked him to do the dishes and he was all grumpy about it (just woken from a nap) saying i could put the dishwasher on... so i went mad did them myself and then proceeded to do the food shopping on my own... needless to say it was a very painful experience... and very stupid on my behalf but it just drives me insane!
