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!

Thanks grumpy/buzz i needed talking down!!

Still got at least 17 hours to go... a lot could happen in that time!

16hours 56 mins to go. You can do this hb 💪🏽

^ disclaimer ^

These timings are approximate only, based on a 7.30am rising*

*this is ambitious for a Sunday, especially after a late night!!

I have a feeling you'll be up early, desperate to test!

Does DH know you are testing tomorrow hb?

Ooh love the hair grumpy!

Eek good luck Hb

jupiter yes AB has sodded off now so just enjoying the lull before fertile week. CD7 today. I think this might be my favourite time of the month while TTC - no wondering and stressing!

I have managed to leave London without my makeup with me so an au naturel weekend for me! In other news I finished my expensive pregnacare and switched onto some super cheapie folic acid and vit D on the excellent advice of mummy - thinking of you love, hope you pop back when you feel like it!

He does, but I've definitely been managing his expectations as he's super positive and excitable so want him to realise the stats/not get his hopes up!! Also, he hasn't been living through the long long TWW so it probably hasn't been forefront of his mind like it has mine!!

Also, just realised that we lose an hour tonight!!!! One less hour to wait😂

*CD8 I must be chilled out, I've lost count. Ha!

Big posh formal, black tie event tonight....why am I not drinking? Don't want people to guess!!

Tigger am sure your DH will understand! It’s very hard keeping this whole business secret, especially from people close to you. People that know you well will always guess I reckon.

grumpy great you’re feeling so upbeat and positive. Good luck for next week. I’m ridiculously excited about Hb testing tomorrow too!

Oh god Hb I had a hot womb too! And a little scratchy feeling..maybe you should wait for tomorrow though so you can trust the FMU. If a BFN tonight you won’t quite trust it.. yay for the clocks going forward. Will be anxiously checking thread tomorrow morning.

orange glad you're feeling good. It is a good portion of the month! Roll on the fertile week though..

Wilde on a detox? Hungover from last night? Have to get up really early for a mothers day thing tomorrow? :)

As predicted he was amazing about it. Ladies I need some advice/support I feel disgusting, I've put on 4 lbs which doesn't seem a lot but combined with the bloating nothing fits and I look 6 months pregnant. I don't know what to do it's really getting me down.

Tigger buy some maternity jeans? Apparently they are super comfortable!!

Wilde at big events you can usually accept a glass of something here and there, hold then put it down and leave without people noticing?

I didn't tell my friends at lunch today. But I think only because the scan is pretty close at this point. Comparatively, as it still feels a bloody age away!

Oh Tigger am sure you don't look bad at all... I suffer from bloating and usually drinking loads of water (so you aren't dehydrated and then retain it!) and cutting carbs down tends to help a lot!

Ahh I feel like such a saddo home alone on a sat night & I should be sorting out wedding pictures but maybe really not in the mood. I've had dinner now twiddling my thumbs.. DH and DD both away till tomorrow eve! Might go to the local shop for snacks then watch a film... hope you are enjoying your dinner out hb!!

Oooh HB so excited!

Grumpy - hope you aren't too lonely. I have been a bit like that all week but now dh is home he's just playing on his pc game and I am still just sat here! Lol!

My choir I have been singing with came 2nd in a competition today which is amazing because we have only been together since Xmas!! Celebrating with a glass of wine and catching up on catastrophe this evening.

Thanks seven I'm going to get off my bum and go and get snacks and watch a box set

Don't judge me guys but I did a cheapo Wilko test with fairly concentrated wee and think I'm giving myself line eye again. These are 20miU sensitivity so shouldn't show anything at this point. 7dpo tomorrow 🙈

Congrats seven that's a great achievement!! Hope you're celebrating :)

grumpy do you want to post a picture? Maybe test in couple of days?

I posted it on a new thread in Conception.. it's pretty white so didn't want to embarrass myself here lol., the POAS addiction is real and has taken hold of me again!

Come on hb for the morning, I need to live through you!

Penguin how are you holding up cycle buddy?

grumpy! Never be embarrassed posting your pee sticks on here!! We'll always take a look! :) I'm really hopeful for you month 🤞🏽

grumpy are you going to test with FMU??

Going to try and wait till Monday at least.. it's too annoying seeing a squinter!!

Here's my implantation /HCG calculator (thanks to whoever posted the link, can't remember)

I think I can see a shadow of something on the second picture (on your other thread) grumpy but hard to tell... fingers crossed for Monday!

Hb has AB stayed away? eeeek role on tomorrow!

Evening girls!

grumpy you're a complete addict 😂😂

AB has stayed away so far! jupiter totally have a scraping thing going on which is partly why i thought AB was here!

Well done on the comp seven, enjoy Catastrophe, think ive still got this weeks to catch up on!

Just went out for an Indian, it blew my head off!! I drove, but probably raised suspicions because my SIL was there & went out with her last weekend too and drove! What can u do tho!

Question for POAS experts... I usually go to the loo 4/5am... is this FMU or wait til proper morning!

Also, am worried cos I've got superdrug tests and someone had a thread earlier about a false positive on one... now I'm kicking myself for not splashing out on a FRER!

Hb scraping and finding curry spicy sound promising! I would use the 5am wee if you normally get up 7:30, but either is probably fine
