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!

Penguin that's really hopeful! If was IB then a FRER will be able to pick something up in next few days... ahh fingers crossed lovely, so excited for you.

Feeling bit better now I'm up so going to go swimming in a bit and then try to master the art of crochet :) Hope you're having a good day too.

Fingers crossed penguin! When are you going to test?

Penguin that's so exciting! Pretty symptomless here.. boobs less sore than yesterday and cramping has stopped. Boring! I'm so used to seeing BFNs I'll be so shocked if the FRER tomorrow morning shows anything, it'll be a real surprise! Fully expecting a BFN though as I feel very normal.

Penguin how long are your cycles normally? If you are CD28 tomorrow it might be possible to test?

God I literally have zero motivation today. It's really weird I cannot even bring myself to do any work 😂 got my blood test at 13:15, just clock watching really. Feel exhausted

CD28 tomorrow, AF expected on CD30... should I test in the morning? I was going to wait until AF was actually late but now I'm getting hopeful 🙈

Good luck with the blood test today buzz! I'm also clock watching (and MN watching!) totally given up on work after last week haha

Laura that all sounds awful I hope he comes to his senses. My friend had a couple of bouncers at her wedding because her ex was a nutter and she didn't want him turning up!

Red it's pretty shocking. My mum did say about that but I shouldn't really have to do it and I honestly think that'll make it 10x worse. I've never despised a human being so much as I do him haha.

AF due on Saturday for me..got hair and makeup trial too so be interesting to see if it shows up.

Wow this thread moves quickly!

And Xlaura toxic family stuff is so hard! Have you read up on recovery from it, so empowering, lots of great books out there.

I'm in Ireland so it's combined between maternity hospital and your GP. So first GP appointment around 6 weeks then first hospital around 12 weeks.

Penguin I'm testing tomorrow morning at cd25 & 10dpo (af not due till April 7th according to Ovia but I think that must be wrong because it would be an 18 day luteal phase...however last whole cycle was 33 days long!). Shall we test together? I'll be testing again on Friday/Saturday if it's a BFN

I think penguin and grumpy should both test tomorrow If it was IB spotting yesterday penguin then a FRER should pick up something tomorrow I think? Good luck both of you, will be eagerly checking the thread tomorrow morning.

buzz hope blood test goes okay!

Thanks seven that youtube vid sounds like something I'd be interesting in watching. Can you remember who it was/what to search for, please?

Hb you can also google your local hospital/maternity ward and some let you self refer. I didn't ever see GP. Two week wait for an appointment, seemed silly when I can do the referral myself. Midwife was happy with that too! Also then no worry about Dr saying it's too early! There are still really long waits here, I didn't see midwife at all until gone 11 weeks because they couldn't fit me in!

Still have my migraine. Not the worst one ever, because I'm at work, and looking at my phone! But still really annoying!! :(

I agree Jupiter double testing for grumpy and penguin tomorrow is surely on the cards. Exciting!!

Ok I'll test tomorrow ... eeek!! Feel nervous/excited! Really must try not to get my hopes up

Sorry your migraine is hanging around dancing

Yay penguin POAS buddies!!!! 👶🏼🤞🏼😬😁

Yay guys, roll on tomorrow :)

Dancing your poor head!

Yay so excited for our pee-ers tomorrow! Woop! I love a testing morning!

Just come back from doctors! Midwife is lovely! Super nice :) had lots of blood taken and they've said that I might have to have a GTT something? Can't remember excactly what she said, something to do with Glucose but going to do lots of googling now! Haha

😱 is to test for gestational diabetes! Bloody hope I don't get it! I love me some cake!

Hope everything's okay with Keith, got to wait a week I think for the blood test results

Oh and DP got his promotion today!! 🎉🎉🎉 we are celebrating with a carvery! :)

Ah so excited for you grumpy & penguin

penguin i was aggressively hungry in TWW, every time i was in a shop i had to buy a flump for a sugar hit😂

Hope blood test wasnt too traumatic buzz

Hope you're enjoying your day off jupiter nice spring day here!

Thanks for the info dancing are u our furthest along preggo? 🤰🏼

Great news Buzz!

Excited for our testers tomorrow!!

I am definitely at peace with not trying until May... Even put DP on a sex ban this month as i wouldn't be keen on a Dec due date as Christmas is hard enough as it is with 3 horses, without a newborn to add to it

Hopefully you'll both wake up early, as I did in test day! Exciting!

Omg, just phoned to docs to see if i should make an appointment now or leave it a bit and they said you need to book in with the midwife at 12 WEEKS...

I said, you have a scan at 12 weeks so surely i need to be in the system before then? She newbie said, I've checked with the practice manager and you get an 18 minute appointment at 12 weeks!

Clearly going to do this self refer malarkey, it just doesn't sound right at all?!

Just ordered a pregnancy yoga DVD now my sickness is a smidge better need to get moving more!
Is anyone planning or done hypno birthing?

Also any top tips for constipation? I'm going but don't feel completely relieved (best way I can put it without way tmi!)

also symptom of the day.... pain above my right hip... something I should worry about thinking round ligament pain or uti?

Hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine!
