Getting Ready For Baby Challenge Thread 5

[HopefullyDothButterNoParsnips]

The fastest moving TTC thread where we are all trying to get ourselves ready for our bundles of joys. Come and join the madness.

Hi everyone, it's been a while since I popped in. Hope everyone's doing ok! I'm relieved to have my AF this week as those trying to conceive vits sent everything all to pot! I've ditched those and am just taking folic acid and vitamin D now. Going to start to use the OPK's this month and am going to wait until May now to start ttc due to my cycle mess up!!

Hey jupiter my cycle buddy I am good, how are you? Your comment about the DHs made me chuckle, bless the shower singing fools!
Evening everyone! This TTC lark is crazy isn't it. I felt a bit nauseous this evening and my first thought was 'yay! I feel sick!' I think it is a bit early to be a symptom. Ovia even helpfully told me 42% of women report nausea in luteal phase (her way of telling me not to get too excited)

Oh and good luck with the OPKs lovely!

It's so difficult to know orange, I keep getting all manner of pelvic twinges but on both sides. Swear it's actually wind but everyone else seems to know what's their uterus and what isn't apart from me :) is implantation most likely on day 9? Sure I read that somewhere. Roll on the weekend!

Have fun OPK-ing dinosaur !

Jupiter I also cannot tell the difference between uterus and wind!

Orange she's so helpful...!

Lovely good luck with the opks. Hopefully time to ttc will come speedily!

Haha don't worry, I'm also useless at telling the difference between lady pains and wind!

Jupiter i thought i could feel Ov earlier but on second thoughts, it could well have just been wind 😂 Things are all a bit close together down there!

I agree! I also have a tilted uterus so that means more pressure on my bowel! Clearly going to poo myself in labour---- I swear it all feels the same apart from ovulation pain. That one I know.

Ooh wiggley how do you know you have a tilted uterus? Will it affect TTC in any way? Will you have yo do pillows under the bum?

Sorry for the questions! Im intrigued

I used to bleed after sex so I had a biopsy taken of the cells just outside my cervix - had to have a transvaginal scan rather than the jelly stuff on my belly as they couldn't see it clearly to check everything over.
Apparently it doesn't affect chances of conceiving, just means more likely to get back pain and show later I think? My mum also has a tilted uterus and it didn't affect her (obviously!)
Anyway bleeding was just a reaction to the hormones in the pill changing the cells and getting aggravated by the prodding!! 😂 all stopped now that I'm not on the hormones!

And I will definitely be pillow-under-bumming just in case!

God it's not just me! All my offal feels the same I think :)

Good luck Tigger can't wait for your update! X

I'm excited for you today tigger! Hope all goes well x

Thanks lovelies I'm feeling very nervous

Good luck for your scan today Tigger- share a pic with us if you can! Happy Friday everyone.

Really hope all is perfect Tigger. Nerves are definitely normal. Will be thinking of you!

Good luck for your scan today tigger

I'm 3dpo today and trying to not think of symptom spotting... in laws here until Monday so that will help!

Good luck today Tigger

Hope you're all OK. I have no news except this week has been super busy. But since weird AF I've had no spotting or anything like last month.

So this diet were doing is boss. High fat, low carbs...I sneakily weighed myself yesterday because I felt so thin and I have dropped 4lbs since Sunday. And I haven't been hungry at all!! I'm not normally one for diets but this one is ace so far because you still get to eat cheese, cream, butter and your body runs off fat instead of carbs.

Hope you all have a good Friday xx

Good luck Tigger How very exciting!

I'm quite aware of my womb this morning, that either means something or is just bloody wind again

Good luck tigger!

Good Luck today Tigger hoping you have more pain because there are 2 little babies curled up inside you!!! I am sure you mentioned something about twins before!

Hi all, happy Friday! Good luck today tigger
I can't wait to hear about your scan xx

I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed by work right now and it doesn't help I'm hungover today! We've had such a busy week and a big team night out last night. Bosses are going back to America today - phew!

Can't wait for the weekend, we are doing my daughter's birthday party tomorrow (my new PA sorted a cake! And is finding me a new cleaner. I could get used to this service!) and then going to my mum's in the countryside for a bit of a break from London. What's everyone else up to?

Seven* I need to do this diet! I did paleo for a month once and lost loads of weight, but it's so hard for me to break the carb habit. I think I just need to be really strict for a week and then the cravings aren't so bad. My willpower is terrible but I'm feeling quite overweight and unhealthy so really want to get back into good habits

Little one (singular) measuring 6 weeks with a little heartbeat so relieved!!
