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!

Congratulations Wilde - I bet a positive test makes everything seem better (until the proper symptoms kick in haha)

I know I said I would not do this but is it possible to get symptoms at 5dpo? Just had 1 glass of wine at lunch feel really dizzy and queasy.

Jupiter the lucky lube turned up!!!! Thank you so much I was having a really shitty work day and it cheered me up no end when I checked the post (wfh today). Let's hope the luck continues this month.

grumpy 5 days is just about possible for implantation? But I felt sick last month on having a drink at 5dpo and got all excited - turned out to be nothing. I love a good symptom spot too!

I turn my back on this thread for 5 mins and there is another BFP! Congrats wilde!!!

Yeah you're right, I think I just didn't sleep enough last night.. always makes me feel off. 2.5 hours till my hair appointment and the WEEKEND

Natur has it sunk in yet? :) I was cautious too until after my AF due date had passed so totally understand that. Am sure all will be fine though.. when is your baby due date? You can’t be far behind me :) Bet you can’t wait to tell DH.

Hi again JB, well done on finishing your studies! Now you can focus 100% on the TTC madness. Good luck!

Hb Roll on Sunday, wishing and willing your AB to stay away. At least you can celebrate/commiserate with a nice lunch out or something with your DH?

buzz love the idea of a spa break/mini moon after the wedding. You will need somewhere relaxing to go and get away for a few days. You will be talking about the wedding endlessly I guarantee it. How exciting.

Seven happy humping!!

Penguin what I assume was my implantation cramping felt JUST like pre-AF cramping so don’t rule yourself out just yet. You’re testing on Thursday? Is that right?

grumpy you could be starting to implant at 5DPO? You never know. I’m convinced you’ll be up-duffed this month as you know. Enjoy your hair appointment. I imagine you with thick brown-red hair so will have to change that to a blonde version in my mind!

Yay orange so glad it safely arrived - glad the parcel didn’t split open and embarrass any posties :) This will be the month for you I guarantee it. Is AF over and done with?

Well I’m working from home this afternoon as woke up this morning with the most awful sore throat! It’s stupidly painful, especially after doing 3 x2hr home assessments for people. Ugh. Home now with a lovely cup of decaf tea and hoping this doesn’t develop into a full blown cold…

HeyJupiter still hasn't sunk in though I get a bit emotional when I think of telling the man later!

So many different due date calendars, but I think 6 December. You? DD was 16 days late, however, so if this one follows suit could be a Christmas baby!

Good luck telling DH Wilde!

Wilde (everyone else calls you Wilde so will stick to that too!) I'm due November 23rd...bring on the little christmas babies x

Love how you've all picked up on my wild side, not my natural side

HeyJupiter what symptoms are you having? I'm not feeling any, really. Only if I look really hard, but if I didn't know I'd probably not notice, iykwim.

Very few really to be honest... breasts are sore on the sides when push them and nipples really do hurt if they're touched. I'm tired (but I usually am at the end of the week) with occasional hot flush. Oh loads of bloating and a bit constipated. No nausea yet...things may be different this time next week. Will be 5 weeks pregnant tomorrow :)

Jupiter well you are not far off - I have thick brunette hair in a long bob.. this is kind of the potential before and after (hope I get the after!) on way there now

Slightly crampy with tender boobs but was same last cycle so ignoring it

jupiter I'm doing Mother's Day lunch for 12 of the family on Sunday, so DH and i will have a brief commiserate/celebrate and then contain ourselves for the afternoon!! Also, i had you down for reddy brown hair, not grumpy!!!

Ooh cross post.... that's going to look stunning grumpy ! Have you had a consultation or are you just rocking up with your pic?

Keep is informed on your DH reveal Wilde !

Will do...just spoke and said I hope he's back early from the evening event, but he may not be. I couldn't really insist iykwim, so no idea how to get the message across!

That's going to look gorgeous grumpy, hope you're having fun in the chair as we speak!

I do indeed have long browny-red hair Hb, but not as thick and lucious as grumpys. I imagines yours as short and black and you have a beautiful olive skin thing going on. Very sophisticated :) Am very impressed by your Mother's Day plans - never cooked for that many in my life!

Eeeek Wilde, am willing your DH to get home immediately for the big reveal...

grumpy that's going to look amazing! You can send us a sneaky photo of you from behind after :)

jupiter those are literally my exact symptoms! Like word for word how bizarre! I'm 6 weeks today 😱 so excited for tomorrow morning!

wilde how are you going to tell him?! I can't wait to hear! Yay!!

Happy humping seven!

Hope confused is okay ❤️

hb I hope it will be celebrate, but you'll be secretely grinning about it :) and yes to the olive skin and sophisticated look 💁🏽 totally have you down for that!

parsnips have you tried your dress on again?? I'm sure you're going to rock it tomorrow!! Enjoy!

Also, thank bloody flip it's Friday!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Ah you're spot on! Dark brown bob over here 🙌🏽 (Had long, BIG hair for years but got it all hacked off post wedding!)

12 is no biggie... it's not even everyone cos my midwife sis is working and a couple of the OHs are with their own Mums!

Eeek wilde , it will be worth the wait!! Your DH will be so excited, especially as it's his first x

Love the hair transformation grumpy!

Good luck for the big reveal tonight Wilde

Jupiter that's encouraging, I'll be testing towards the end of next week but haven't decided which day yet. Fingers crossed!

Jupiter Eat tomatos... Apparently they sooth a sore throat. Not tried it myself but I hear they work wonders 🤔

Just got a letter from the hospital!! Scan on the 9th may!! That feels like so bloody long away!!

Hi Girls, excuse the radio silence been super busy in work and then so exhausted I can't keep my eyes open to type! Have been keeping up though!
wilde Major congratulations!! Enjoy telling DH!
hb enjoy the mothers day lunch, I'm a useless chef so super impressed that you are catering for 12!
grumpy enjoy getting your hair did, I'm getting mine done tomorrow, roots are in a bad way!!
seven happy FW to you lovely!! Xx
parsnips enjoy the races!!
buzz happy 6 weeks, I'm 7 tomorrow, we are very close!
jupiter glad you are not suffering with any symptoms, long may it continue! But the throat is a pain in the neck (literally) hope it's better soon!
orange enjoy your special delivery!!!
penguin u poor thing that job sounds Crap! Hope u get to relax and enjoy the weekend now!
jb welcome back!!
Some friends are calling over for pizza soon, hoping I can manage a slice to avoid suspicion, normally I'm the biggest pig of everyone!! DH is bringing me and DS to this burger place we go every year for mothers day, I'm hoping I'll feel like eating! I'm also hoping 7 weeks sees the end of nausea and that it was just a thing that happened for one very Crap week and now it's over my symptoms will vanish and my skin will stop getting spots and I'll get this infamous glow! A girl can dream!

buzz ugh I know mine is the second! Hopefully with Easter etc the time will fly, I've kind of accepted it now, time to wish my life away for the next 5 weeks!
