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!

There has been constructive feedback in other areas, but this has just been a plain message of dislike and nothing else. No reasoning for it, examples of situations that have lead to it, or suggestions about what I can do to make it better. I'm definitely going to look elsewhere... but right now, I want to drown in a vat of wine.

Ah Hb are you testing tomorrow?! I need to live through you., still a week till I can test!!
What car did you buy?

Penguin so sorry. That's such an unfair thing to say, and totally unprofessional especially without an example of cause?! Plus, you're clearly lovely and likeable, so screw them!!

Hb oo, new car!! Exciting! How long are your cycles usually? Fx for another bfp!! :)

Grumpy how are you managing to avoid the symptom spotting?!

penguin i should know this, but where are you in your cycle... is wine drowning a possibility?!

I'm not going to test until sunday if no AB before then! I think I'd rather wait it out than see a BFN! These twinges are worrying me! I don't want to disappoint the challengers!!
Cycles are generally 29/30 days apart from last month which was 33.

Car is the same (clio) but new and a faster snazzier version! The cost of trading up was basically the cost of a service (which was due) so i said if you let me hand my current one back without the service then its a deal! I guess they're desperate to shift cars coming to the end of the financial year!

Hb your name has got shorter! :) Roll on Sunday. am willing your AB to stay away. yay for the new car.

Penguin sounds bloody unfair and actually very inappropriate and unprofessional. We all think your fab. Sod them. Have a glass of wine (if you can) and think about the future.

penguin that is literally so shit!! you deserve ALL the wine!! Would you consider moving jobs?

hb exciting new car!! And so excited for you to test on Sunday!

I have very painful stomach cramps this evening :( and I did another test just to make sure Keith is still there! He's going strong 💪🏽 also spent an absolute fortune on Zara online oops! Oh well! Going out with a friend tomorrow night, no idea how I'm going to keep it a secret!

Hope you're all well and looking forward to the weekend! Woop!

buzz sorry about the cramps.. I've had them this week and really normal so don't worry. Prob just Keith getting comfy :)

I second that buzz , Keith is probably putting his feet up and snuggling in... garlic bread on speed dial!!

Oh yes, forgot i chopped some of my name, just thought I'd streamline but Hb was already taken!

😂😂😂 hb literally laughed out loud 😂

Obviously I'm awake at 4.30 to do the FRER...and....!

Positive! Faint but not a squinter!

I took a new IC too at the same time, line still only very faint. So, still early but fingers crossed! 11dpo now! I'm pregnant!!

Better pic?

Congrats Wilde that's really strong for 11dpo!

5dpo here.. HB I don't know how you are so strong to wait till Sunday! I'd have caved by now!

Got a sports massage this morning before work and then lunch with a lovely friend in the industry followed by my blonde transformation in the salon tonight! Might have to fit some work in too.. Happy Friday all!

Thank you Grumpy! Dp home late this evening, going to (try to) stay up to tell him...can't imagine it! He will not be expecting this, first month at my age!

Good luck on Sunday Hb!

Massive congratulations Natur!!!! That's amazing. Nothing like seeing it on a FRER for confirmation :) how are you feeling? X

Congratulations Wilde! :)

Thanks! I was shaking this morning,waiting for the theee minutes to pass!! I'd like to see the line get darker, obviously, so still cautious! But I did print off the registration form for the local maternity hospital yesterday!

I think it will sink in after the weekend, when my period is due (Tuesday).

Other than that, I feel pretty great! Bags of energy, boobs a little tender every now and again. I gagged a little yesterday.

Last time I had gentle nausea from 4-5 weeks then full on from 6/7 until 12 weeks ish. And the tiredness hadn't kicked in yet...

Hi ladies
I'm back from the first thread a couple of months ago. Had to finish my studies and found mumsnet too much of a distraction, haha! However I am now completely finished and ready to jump on the baby making bandwagon! So Af due next week and then cycle #3 can officially begin.
I see there has been a few BFPs since thread 1 - amazing news, congrats to you all.

Congrats again Natur ! FRERs are gospel so you're officially humped!!

Welcome back JB i think we had similar stats last time round!

Your day sounds fab Grumpy Not sure why i don't want to poas, ive just got in my head Sunday & sticking to it! (Why can't i be this disciplined about carbs?!) Sunday is my day off & DH off too so more time to commiserate/celebrate I guess! Still a bit crampy... stay away AB!

Yay wilde! that's so exciting!! Congrats!

Welcome back jb! Are you OPKing or just humping? :)

grumpy id love a massage right now! Your day sounds good! And it's Friday woop!! Me and dp were thinking of doing a spa break straight after the wedding as we don't have a honeymoon planned, then save up for something special :) although it will be with Keith now oops! Or we could do a babymoon I suppose in late September/October :) as much as I'd love one, i was thinking I'm sure I'd rather spend the money on Keith. We'll see!

hb I applaud your control! Don't forget I had a white FRER 5 days after AB was due, so don't worry on Sunday if there's nothing, you're not out till you're out!

Hello my loves.

Just been catching up and welcome back JB

Wiggley how's your v-jj now?

Hb fingers crossed! I am with you on the not testing until AB due!

Tigger I'm so sorry you're feeling so shitty. Hopefully the next few weeks will pass quickly for you xxx

DH and I had a nice evening on Wednesday and managed to dtd although we were both shattered. He's due home again today so got another snuggly evening planned. CD23 here an no idea if I've ovulated or not yet. Been doing opks but not everyday so only seen a very faint line but been getting lots of twitches in both ovaries. Ovia recons I'm in my fw week now so gonna dtd as much as poss this weekend.

Yay it's Friday xxxxx

You're all lovely. I did have a few glasses of wine last night... CD23 today so maybe I shouldn't have done? Got some cramping this morning and feel miserable.

Sounds like you've got a lovely day planned grumpy

Fx for you on Sunday Hb

Hey Jb!

And congratulations again Wilde!!

Penguin your work sounds awful I'm sure no harm will be done by a few glasses of wince at this stage

Drink til it's pink!

Get humping seven

Will be OPKing buzz. Thought my cycles were settled back into a routine but had a random 40 day cycle last month so think I need the help of OPKs,

Good luck for testing inn sunday Hb.

penguin sounds like you definitely needed the wine after that treatment from your work

Just had a horrible work meeting! I direct a big team and it's a notorious HR nightmare! After the meeting, though, I thought of my test and felt all excited!

Telling Dp tonight...still can't take it in myself!
