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!

Parsnips those ovulation tests look good!!

Anyone else have the wild horn? I've just jumped DH. I don't know what came over me. I just felt very womanly and fertile and sexy tonight. Madness.

Buzz I did Weigh-In Wednesday this morning and I've lost 1lb so far, on track for 2lbs although today was a bit of a write off and I'm going out for a few (lots) drinks on Friday too so not holding out much hope! Will try to stick to G&Ts to limit the damage.

Confused I'm so happy for you and your bubble! Please stick around, I'd love to see your bubble turn into a bubba at your 12 week scan!

Parsnips I also get the wild horn during fertile week! I also feel more feminine and irresistible during that week. (Compared to the horrid, ugly mess I feel during PMS) apparently men are more attracted to us during this time too because of a fertile hormone we release?! Not quite sure on the facts though.

Thanks for all the support... the pain is a lottle easier to deal woth now that i know it shouldnt be negative towards the bubble!

The fluid is caused bu the Corpus Letum which is a hole in your ovary which produces HCG and Progesterone until the placenta takes over... sometimes there will be a cyst that forms which can be normal... i'm not sure why i have an enlarged ovary and free fluid yet other than its in relation to the hole =)

Wiggley of course I am going to stick around as long as you all will have me!... i did joing the Oct thread with Dancing but i just don't feel at home there (granted i havn't really tried to be)

Dancing I will have the scan with this hospital on Monday and hopefully not long after i should have my letter for my booking in appointment at the hospital i want to go to so i will go there

If you dont mind me asking Tigger how comes you are having an early scan?

I feel more at home here too confused but am trying to be involved on antenatal thread. There are SO many people though.

I feel like such an emotional wreck tonight. Failing at life. Sitting on a bus home, trying not to puke. :(

Well done on the weight loss Wiggley! We're on a full on health kick this end in the hope will lose some of the lbs I gained on our weekend away.

confused so glad the pain is a bit more manageable! Good luck for the scan. So happy you're going to stick around, we want to hear all your updates.

Thanks Tigger, really hope this month it happens. Sometimes I get scared that maybe there is something wrong with either me or DH. If I knew that we would definitely get pregnant one day then think I could relax a lot more and just let it take the time it needs. I guess that's normal though. Good luck for your scan! Glad they are taking care of you. Sorry you're feeling a bit crappy though.

Hi confused dr has said as I've had endometriosis I'm at higher risk of ectopic etc and so they like to scan early even though I'm showing no symptoms!

Dancing know what you mean about the ante posts and feeling a bit lost and crappy!

Awhh thanks Jupiter... it will deffo happy for you soon! Today i watched a documentary and it was saying less than 50% of fertilised eggs make it to the stage of a heartbeat... how insane is that!! So even if you do everything right and there is nothing wrong with you its just a waiting game!

How exciting Tigger i'm sure everything will be fine... when do you reach 6 weeks? Going by LMP my next scan is on 5+4 and im still scared they arnt going to see anything! lol

Dancing i think atm i'm just going to stay where i'm most comfy for now which is here... its too hard to keep up with everyone!

Oh unicorn! You are NOT failing at life! You are growing a bloody human being! You are amazing!

Please don't leave us! Soon this will be a full on antenatal thread when everyone gets their bfps! And then a baby thread! We'll stick together through it all even if we are at different stages :)

parsnips really glad to hear things are 👌🏽with your dh ❤️

Haha parsnips yes to major horn around FW!! Im pretty keen most of the time but in FW im ready to go again straight after we're done! The body is very clever... good strategies in place!

Just catching up on the day. YASSS confused Go Bubble!!!! So pleased for you - yes stay here with us confused and dancing, still plenty of getting ready for baby challenge to do in the coming months

Hey cycle buddies jupiter and seven my OPKs arrived in the post today so I can start testing obsessively now!

seven cracks me up that you always post the list more than once - it's like your trademark

Thanks buzz. I'm feeling a bit better now I've had food. Tomorrow is another day, and hopefully will be easier. It's just hard because I'm feeling a bit rubbish, but can't tell people. Normally when feeling rubbish I can at least get a bit of sympathy at work! ;) also I'm crapping myself about telling them! I've not actually told anyone yet... also still feels unreal as I've not had any contact with a medical person yet!!! I'm not very patiently waiting to get details through!!

Good luck for everyone testing soon!! :)

Enjoy all the dtd! ;)

Haha orange its my stupid laptop! I update the list on there cos it's much quicker. I asked to get the spares removed but no one has done it yet!

I am so pleased you preggos want to stay here. It's so good to hear what happens on the other side and how you're getting on. I guess it's nice for you guys to have each other too like a little gang! xx

Hey guys. The support on here is great. I really hope we can all graduate to an antenatal thread and then a baby thread!

I'm on my way home from the work dinner. I did have 2 small glasses of wine but now feel very sick!! Coincidence? Who knows?!

Whenever I feel sick I feel so terrified about being pregnant... I guess that's normal..

grumpy you've got soooooo many symptoms.... it must be you this month!

Hb I may be imagining all of them!! But you guys won't judge me if that's the case right?

I only have 2 FRER in the house since I used almost all the ICs last month in POAS madness! That's keeping me going till Friday as they are so expensive! And I want to keep one for next week too.. 9dpo tomorrow (estimate..). Ovia says should have implanted by now if it worked..

Babe.... I'm testing for an actual immaculate conception tomo... we're all bonkers 😂

& definitely no judgement (i hope)

Lol!!! 😝😂😁👶🏼🤞🏼

And just like that we are back to negative OPK. So if I didn't test last night I would've missed it! Just amazed at our bodies. It is pretty incredible. Happy Thursday girls! Almost the weekend for me!

Fingers crossed for you HB! We need to get thinking of lovely Thai inspired names for you!!!

Wooooow Good luck Parsnips! Will definitely get some bargain ones next month then I think, and see if we can work out exactly when I ovulate for next month's cycle :)

HB It is a small world isn't it!

And thanks for adding me to the list Seven
