Getting Ready For Baby Challenge - Part 6

[HopefullyDothButterNoParsnips]

Thread 6 already. We are a bunch of ladies who are either

• humping (TTC)
• by humping yet (waiting to TTC)
• humped (preggers)

And everything in between!

We've had 7 BFPs in three months and we love a bit of lucky lube and a squinter on 9DPO - come and join the madness!

Argh!!! :) hb congratulations!!! :D Did you test together? Eeee!! So happy for you! Definitely worth the trip to Sainsbury's!

YEY!!! Hb Wow - very strong positive on a blue dye test!!

Huge huge congratulations!!l

Oh giiiiirls!!

You're all so fab!! You're putting an even bigger smile on my face!

Trying to remain cautious until I've seen it on a digi/FRER (but i have already googled EDD and contemplated cruising pinterest for nursery decor😂)

Kind of good you didn't find out this morning hb then have to try and stop smiling all the time in front of family! Congrats again! This is such a lucky thread.

DH just got home and I asked him if he liked my new hair. He said "yeah it looks great, I especially noticed the cut." I haven't had it cut! 🙈 I laughed so much. #manfail

DD is writing songs in the bath and being lovely. I'm looking forward to a new small one soon 👶🏼

hb when's you're EDD?? What's DHs reaction?? Eek! So happy!

When is your EDD Hb? can't be far behind me and Wilde - literally can't stop smiling for you :)

grumpy, penguin and seven next, is that right?

Yep.. Friday 31st is official POAS day! I'll be 12DPO then

Oh bless your DH grumpy 10/10 for effort despite the manfail!

EDD seems to be 2nd Dec, so shouldn't venture into Christmas territory!

DH was over the moon!!! He said he knew he wanted to be a Dad as soon as he met me, he'll be the best! He also said EDD would be around his Dad's Bday, who passed away over 10 yrs ago (way before my time) so that's nice in a way. After i explained about the hierarchy of tests he's done some googling and found bad things about Sainsburys tests so think we will be way happier once we've done some decent ones!!!

Omg hb that's such amazing news!!! Congratulations!!!

Yay! Just a week behind me! 😬

Really Buzz ????? Yours seems ages ago!!! You've seen the midwife already!

Okay 2 weeks! But close enough! Mines 18th November! But yeah crazy that I only got my bfp last Saturday and seen the midwife already!

Remind me to book in my blood test tomorrow!

Any of the preggos feel like describing the scratchy womb feeling? I'm losing the symptom spotting battle.. I'm having the same as last cycle though - with sore boobs and milky CM today - so I know it means nothing! I had a VERY vivid dream last night of boobs leaking milk everywhere! In fact it was only the left one for some reason. Hope this work week goes quickly!

Grumpy no idea about the scratchy womb feeling, but last night had a very vivid dream about seeing baby's hand on scan to find it had 6 fingers!! So hopeful for you this month.

Dancing the night before DD was born I had a very vivid dream that I held her little foot through my bump!

Not sure about that either, sorry grumpy. When are you testing again? Your other post was so promising! And I wanted to say that you should stay with us, so you don't get accused of not knowing your shit 🙄 we'll look at your pee sticks any day love ❤️

Sorry ive been away... i took some much deserved time for myself the last few days which i think helped mentally (thanks for asking after me Buzz

HB The happiest of happy mothers day for you! What a great line there is no squinting at that!

Grumpy i didn't have the scratch womb feeling but i did have very shooting pains down my right ovary/groin/leg area... but that was only one night! From about 7dpo boobs hurt to sleep on and deffo had very vivid dreams! Not that they were odd but when i woke up i was aware of them... also about the hair thing having foils added can completely change the look of the hairstyle you have... so to your poor DH bless him the cut probably does look different!

Dancing I am so glad that your booking in went well and that you got through the bloods ok... i've got mine tomorrow afternoon and having a blood related illness thats probably the bit i am least worried about! Lol

I cannot believe how lucky this thread is!... all eyes are on Orange now as the reciever of the lube exchange! Lol

Oh yeah i agree with Buzz... stay within our confinds Grumpy don't let yourself be talked down by the bitches of Mumsnet (i cannot believe how savage some people are!?!?)

Thanks confused glad you've had some 'confused time' and got your head together good luck with the booking

grumpy the scraping probably started Friday, like someone is scraping a metal implement down my insides!! Its sounds more painful that it actually is tho! I'm sure someone (maybe jupiter) said it felt like a bat trying to claw it's way out!! The hot womb is the constant, the scraping occasional... we've got your back this week 👊🏼

Haha thanks guys i know I'm only crazy not stupid you guys get first look at all squinters in future! I was just feeling a little silly about testing (and assumed it was nothing anyway).

Thanks for the description hb my womb is feeling a little tight and twingey tonight not sure it's that obvious though. Checked cervix - very very high and closed, normal for this part of cycle I think.

Confused welcome back and good luck with bloods tomorrow

Buzz thanks mate, I think it was too early to show so what I saw must've been the line that's always there on some tests (I was naughty and cracked the test open). Gonna try to wait till Friday (12DPO) but I know I'll crack earlier..

Oh Hb you’re literally a week behind me! We’ll have them out and settled in time for christmas! What a lovely response from your DH, can’t wait to see you FRER.

grumpy definitely scratching feeling in my womb from 9DPO-12DPO and still sometimes now (today in fact!) Also felt like a clawing bat which was climbing up my insides (yes that was me who made that comparison, bit odd in retrospect.) Ditto what buzz said about not worrying about posting early tests on this thread. We love it :)

confused hello my lovely, so glad you’ve taken some time to focus on you. Hope tomorrow goes well, can’t wait to hear all about it. Yes my eyes are on orange for next month too! For definite.

How is it Monday again tomorrow?

Oh my goodness Hb!!! Yay!!! Xx It's so amazing how I don't know you all but get so emotional whenever there is a new bfp! Like one of my old friend announcing!
I'm sorry I have been neglecting the list making but will update soon. I break up for Easter holidays on Friday so you will be sick of list spam next week😁

I'm not sure I should be included in the testing atm as I think my body is a bit broken. I may if AB doesn't show up that week but not getting my hopes up in the slightest!! 😞!! xx

Congratulations Hb! You've stepped over into the humped side! What cycle was this for you? I agree with Seven, it's like a old friend announcing. Fingers crossed for testers this week.
Hope this week goes quickly for you grumpy!

I'm getting the hang of this cycle thing, for the last 2 months AB has appeared 15 days after my positive OPK. So even though my cycles haven't been the same length, there is some consistency at least!
