Getting Ready For Baby Challenge - Thread 8

[HopefullyDothButterNoParsnips]

Here comes the thread, you know what to do!

So sorry Tigger. There's still time potentially... hope you're doing ok. Must be so hard. 💐

Congrats parsnips and penguin great news!!

Af due on the 11th. Stupid body/mind is giving me loads of symptoms. The only thing I can hope for is late implantation I guess.... I'll be ok with it but I would love a bfp.

Ahhhh jb!! That's amazing! I'm so excited for you!!!

Sorry for the bfn tigger

You've still got a while until AF Tigger - don't panic yet love.

I'm sure your head is all over the place.

I'm back to the UK for eight days from Friday 12th. Work event on 18th and then staying with both sets of parents before and after that. So I'd be 5 weeks and a bit when we see my family and 6 weeks and a bit when we see DHs.

They'll catch on right away if I don't drink at all and I'd prefer to tell them in person but it does seem a bit early on! Not seeing DH family again until Nov and then mine at Christmas (although looking at dates that might be out now as probably can't fly).

Will give it more thought once the test is more definitive.

Congratulations JB that is a very positive test! Fab news.

tigger you're not out until AF shows. I have my fingers and toes crossed for you

Congratulations parsnips can definitely see a line!

Congratulations jb that is a very strong line 🎉 hurrah!! How are you going to keep it to yourself till Monday? Wouldn't DH suspect ?

tigger sorry about the bfn but you're not out yet

Safe travels grumpy

buzz I'll be in Italy until next week. Back Tuesday. Hoping AF doesn't arrive as I want to swim in the sea!And for obvious reasons!

Yay JB that's a beautiful line!! Huge congratulations! So happy for you! Does DH know?

You're not out yet Tigger, but difficult. This first month of trying is going to be even harder emotionally. We're all here

Oh JB just saw that you're waiting until Monday to tell him. So exciting!

I'm only waiting until Monday because he is away on a stag do all weekend and I'm scared when he has a drink in him he will tell my brother and my friends husbands.

I have my fingers firmly crossed for you tigger

That's a difficult one parsnips on when to tell family. It is early but if it's the o my tiem you will see them face to face . . . Tough decision.

seven hope everything is ok with your job.

I so understand that JB, I waited for several days before telling DH and at same time we then tested again together with a digital which made it all feel more real. Such a special time! Little January baby!!

Jb and parsnips congrats!! How bloody exciting for both of you!! 🎉🎉 amazing stuff to open my phone to! Xx

Eeek just logging on quick!! jb and parsnips huge huge congrats to you guys, I can for sure see something in that parsnips! How annoying they don't do Frer there! And jb definitely no denying your test!!! Will catch up properly later!
tigger you have loads of time, you definitely aren't out yet, but I know it's not easy seeing BFN even when you're 1dpo, keeping everything crossed for you x

Ahhhh!!! What amazing news to read today! HUGE congratulations JB and parsnips I am so happy for you. This thread deserves all the bfps!

Dancing I'm so jealous of your af....I am still waiting...

Do you think if I took a digital tomorrow it would come up? I don't think I'll believe until then. DH is going to be so surprised! I have a little baby grow all ready for him but I want the digital ready for that really. I think the clear blue plus and clear blue digi are the same sensitivity so assuming the line is stronger tomorrow that should work?

Congrats JB - so exciting!

And parsnips eek, looking really hopeful

otters keeping my fingers crossed for you. How long are your cycles usually?

tigger I'm sorry for the BFN but there is still hope til AF is here

mummy I am 7dpo too. Time has stood still, stupid 2ww!! My only symptom is a non-symptom: normally this many dpo I am super grumpy but I am not today. Feeling really hopeful for you this time around x

grumpy hope you have a good journey back! It is unreasonably cold in London sadly

parsnips how many dpo are you?

Just landed. Slept about 15minutes the whole flight. Constant low to medium bad turbulence. Had to take diazepam so feel guilty. I'm in tears of relief to be on the ground. Literally can't stop crying. It's 8am in New York

JB - huge congratulations my dear x

Parsnips - yes I think a digital should come up

Oh and they gave us zero food on the plane. I hate American Airlines

Thats rubbish Grumpy, don't feel too guilty... your doc wouldn't have prescribed it if he thought it was unsafe.

Parsnips I don't think I'd risk a digital til AF due, they're no where near as sensitive (sorry if youve already said how many dpo you are!)

I think about 13 or 14 DPO - AF due tomorrow. I'm CD28. Apparently the done thing on Dubai is to have a blood test to confirm but that just seems quite extreme.

Oh cool, a digi with FMU is a go-er then!!! Everything crossed Parsnips !! 🤞🏼

Grumpy you must be sooooo exhausted my dear. Are you able to get some rest at some point today? I hope you're not having to work all day. Only one more flight to go - you are doing amazingly!!!!

Orange and mummy hope you can figure out ways of making the tww fly by.

Sorry para. It really sucks. I usually have a short cycle (26 days) so I think that helped. How long has it been?

Charl where are you at now? (My memory is useless!)

tigger you've got a while till af so don't give up! Everything crossed for you

parsnips you might have to tell them then if only time you'll see them, although Skype is pretty good I suppose, i plan to Skype my aunt in oz soon! I think digi should be alright if af due tomorrow! So excited!

otters really hoping af doesn't arrive! Do you think you'll test whilst you're away?

jb is he back Sunday night? Or Monday?

grumpy that's utterly shit!! Business as well? What a joke! Yes you're nearly home, you can do this! You'll be fine! Bloody hope you're not flying back AA to London though!!

Yes business class! I can't believe it! Anyway after a very long taxi journey in rush hour I'm almost at my hotel where I should be able to sleep for an hour before my first meeting. FML. Luckily flight back to London is virgin Atlantic.
