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 @Mummyme87 @Penguin27 @TheGrumpySquirrel I tested yesterday afternoon with a frer (was supposed to wait but didn't) and it was BFN, I've got another frer ready but am going to wait until Saturday morning I think, I reckon af is due Sunday! It really is like our bodies are playing mind games, with all the developments in technology it's mad that we have to wait what feels like forever to find out isn't it? If it's a BFN this month at least I'll know not to trust any symptoms next time hah

Sorry for the bfn tessa

Hi girls,
mummy you poor thing, I hope it passes soon and you def still have time for a BFP!
tigger aww so exciting! So exciting to tell people too!
seven I'm thrilled for you and mr7, such a good boost for him I'm sure! Big congratulations to him!
orange glad your feeling OK about things, I know the frustration of waiting for a random late AF when you want to get on with things!
tessa sorry for BFN today lovely xx
DS was in the parade today so we went in and got absolutely drowned, the weather couldn't have been worse! Rained constantly for the whole day! Also the nausea and exhaustion has ramped up today, after drying out I slept on the sofa in front of the fire for the entire day, it was bliss! Now I want to eat all around me again!

Thanks Dancing, will make an appointment next week :) Can’t wait for you to have your scan!!

Sorry for bfn tessa, good luck again for tomorrow though!

orange glad you’re feeling okay, last month I was testing most days in the run up to my AF and it let me down gently. Not that you’re out of the race yet - any sign of AF?

mummy how are you feeling? Hope it’s all calmed down a bit.

seven it will work out whatever happens - this is such a good first step for your DH though :)

Wow Tigger that is amazing - actually seeing your body change now must feel mad (in a good way). Next few weeks sound very exciting. Looking forward to hearing how your midwife appointment goes.

MrsC what a day! Did you DS have a good time? Glad you’ve caught up on some rest now. I’m going to fall into bed soon - exhausted, but not sure I can even blame pregnancy yet..

grumpy interesting to see how the CB monitor progresses over next few days. Your oestrogen must still be rising to get your high readings! Ovulation should be just around the corner.

Hey ladies, happy weekend!

Jupiter yes I'm looking forward to being more in the know about when O day actually is!

We DTD yesterday and I'm on the fence about avoiding it now or just doing whatever we feel like (this month would be bad timing for a BFP with all my travel coming up and a Dec baby meaning I'd be off over annual pay review).

MrsC that sounds like a very tiring (but fun) day. Nothing like a nice nap by the fire after being out in the rain!

I finally got to yoga tonight after a big break, it was so nice. Going again tomorrow and also getting my monthly pedicure. DD is at her dad and it's a nice relaxing weekend for me, DH is out with friends Saturday night but I don't mind - I like a bit of peace and quiet occasionally! Might watch a film with my cats! It's a glam life.. What's everyone else up to?

Feeling better this evening. No vomit since lunch time and no diarrhoea since about 4.. hoping this is the end of it. Stomach a bit delicate. But not ate anything all day so hoping it's recovering.

Glad you are feeling better mummy hope you feel "detoxed" at least?! Get some good rest tonight x

mummy hope you had a better night!!

grumpy it must be a really hard decision. Knowing you're about to ovulate must make it so tempting to just go for it! Plus hormonally your body is telling you too.. what does your DH think? I think your weekend plans sound great, enjoy.

Apart from testing with DH tomorrow I have very little in the way of plans. I think I will be lounging mainly.. my sister is due to give birth any minute so we're all on standby by the phone!

orange how are you? Any sign of AF?

Stomach a bit sore today otherwise feeling a lot better 😀
Thought I had a squinter on a FRER this morning but no... then I saw some brown discharge so suspect AF will be here in full force.

Aw glad you're feeling better mummy, hope AB steers clear!

How exciting jupiter you'll get to hold a cute newborn very soon! My nephew kept us waiting two weeks! But was worth the wait!!

I'm working today Then out for dinner with the inlaws tonight, then lots of errands/sorting/life admin tomo! Not the most exciting weekend (bar tonight) but got to be done! ✅

Ahh mummy hope you're ok x

Well I got a Peak on the CBFM this morning! I might do an OPK later today to see if that's dark too. Ovia has updated my FW to end tomorrow - so assuming ov tomorrow?

Tomorrow is CD15 (actually I felt ov pains last cycle on CD15) but if i have a 33 day cycle again that's an 18 day luteal phase!! I think I can expect AF a bit earlier this month. At least I know O day so a preg test at 12-14dpo should be conclusive.

Zero willpower / fighting biological urges as we DTD this morning after seeing the Peak reading (I showed DH) que sera sera

Glad you are feeling better mummy. Really hope AB stays away!

Exciting times Grumpy! Que sera indeed! :)

Jupiter, I can't believe you are able to wait until tomorrow! Is it sinking in at all yet? So exciting you will get to cuddle a tiny newborn soon! I'd love to be an auntie some day! My lo will be the first grandchild on both sides, how will I ever avoid it being spoiled?!

Sorry for the BFN mummy, but glad you’re feeling a bit better today. Hope you’ve got a nice weekend planned?

Oh grumpy don’t blame you at all, would have done the same! Yes ovia is assuming that you will ovulate tomorrow (and you probably will be if you got your CB peak) Will be interesting to see what an IC OPK says and whether it backs up CB. Que sara sara indeed, will secretly be hoping for you

Dancing I wouldn’t normally have the willpower but I really want me and DH to do a test together (and would mean the world to him to ‘officially’ find out together.. that’s a good motivator) and then have a day together to celebrate. It will be worth it. Cant wait for a new niece/nephew to arrive. I’m surrounded by newborns at the moment and loving it. Hope you’ve managed to catch up on some sleep and not feeling too exhausted today.

Hb have a nice day at work! At least the sun is shining (well it is here anyway) Hope you get through your ‘to do’ list today, always a satisfying feeling.

Hi guys, so I tested this morning with a FRER and it's BFN so pretty sure I'm out this month :(

Hi guys! Sorry I've been quiet past few days! Just mental with work! So just done a IC..... help! I think I'm going mad
