I’m sad not to see folk but was worried about numbers and covid etc so I’m actually pleased. Still going away for a few days on Tuesday all being well - within Scotland, actually within my work postcode area so no adding additional pressure to rural services I hope!

I had grumbly cramp this morning. Just brief.

@snapple21 definitely looks like you ovulated. Just because there's no coverline you can't see it easily but your temps are definitely higher than before.

@NamechangeTTC @Boc86 deffo not out yet ❤️

My chart is weird, feel like it doesn't show the differences as much as other sites. Any thoughts?

@NamechangeTTC hopefully those symptoms are all good and hope you can catch up on sleep by staying at work tonight.
🤞 its just the progesterone talking and you're not out.
Awwww sure you were looking forward to Sunday.

@Boc86 awwww no so sorry hun, that just blows. Was really hoping everything you were doing would increase your progesterone levels.

No boob pain. Nothing. Ugh. I had some feeling at least last cycle!

NamechangeTTC · 10/09/2020 07:27

I’ve paid for a room at work tonight as can’t
Face commuting. Means can go
To bed about 2 hours earlier tonight and get up about an hour and a half later tomorrow. Hoping this helps

My boozy lunch on Sunday 9dpo has been cancelled due to covid levels.

Still feel like I’m out this month

NamechangeTTC · 10/09/2020 07:26

@Elakiya hahahaha I am pretty sure all our husbands think we are obsessive freaks. As for mumsnet I am pretty sure there is something he is addicted to as well like Facebook or YouTube or a TV show or something lol just use that 😂😂

Awww you're just so sweet you try to cheer everyone up when they're down. He must also be really hoping you guys succeed if he is down over it that's so nice I love that💜💜💜
Wow thats amazing thats he knows a lot, you should be super proud of him!!! pretty sure my hubby has no freaken clue about anything whahahaha!! Sure he just knows there's a certain time to have sex to get pregnant and if it doesnt work you get your periods highly doubt he paid anymore attention but maybe he learnt something while researching the ava bracelet. Yeah like your friends my friends have no freaken clue, they don't even know what an opk is and they have kids.

@ReginaaPhalange aww thanks hun💜💜

@candycrush2298 wow!!! That's an amazing gift xxx

Elakiya · 09/09/2020 18:02

@candycrush2298 No he did that on purpose he thinks I am an obsessive freak. He also thinks I am addicted to mumsnet and doesn't like me using it.

So I've kind of upset him by telling him I have period pains so to cheer him up that implantation can range from 6 to 12 days after ovulation (based on a quick google search) and he started spouting out information about how reproduction in the female body works. I have to say I am quite impressed, I am pretty sure half my friends don't know much about reproduction as they seem to get pregnant instantly.

@Elakiya hahahah in South Africa where I lived Durban there is a massive Indian community as well as African and both cultures its very normal for parents to live with you so I do understand it because I grew up with with the culture you know.

Yes I used the Ava bracelet last night hahaha but it won't be enough temps before ovulation to actually see i have ovulated and you need like 18 high temps to indicate pregnancy which I would start AF way before then. If I get to CD28 and my temps are still high then I would have an idea yes that I am pg but I intend to test that day anyway so would know even if I wasn't using Ava but in a way I am cheating because when I see a rise in temps I know I have ovulated.

Awww bless that he thought it was jewelry and he probably didn't realise you really wanted one and laughed as he maybe thought you were joking dont think he meant to offend you xx

@candycrush2298 I just asked hubby if I can have an Ava bracelet Blush at first he thought it was jewellery and said we need to go to a jewellers can't just order it online Grin then when I explained what it was ... he just laughed in my face Sad

Elakiya · 09/09/2020 16:55

@candycrush2298 hahaha ... At work they're so confused by it they always say "OMG I'd hate to live with my parents/my in laws" and then they'd go "You must just have nice parents then... maybe everyone should move in with your parents"

Are you going to start using your Ava bracelet straight away? Technically thats cheating :P You're going to know your pregnant through BBT without even testing hahaha

@Elakiya oh wow I am super jealous that is going to be amazing!! I wish I had that kind of help. Daycare it is for us. I just don't know how we will make it work but one way or another we will. I want kiddies lol.

OP posts:
Elakiya · 09/09/2020 15:53

@candycrush2298 As much as my mum wants grandkids I think she'll be annoyed if I leave 4 kids at home to look after all by herself lol. But I've even planned out how to make it work.

Work let me start at 10pm if I want to, so I can drop the kids off at school whilst my mum looks after the non school ones and then my dad can pick them up because he's home by lunchtime and I might be able to convince him to go part time. Mum will retire obviously (that's her plan, she really wants me to have kids so she can retire lol).

I am so blessed to have so much help. I wish I could just damn reproduce lol!

@Elakiya yeah I think you can manage to get 4 kids in, it can work. Might need a pair of twins but even if you don't definitely could have 4 kids by what 36? that is a fair amount of time to be pregnant 4 times LOL.

@NamechangeTTC hahahah you got that right, it doesn't count as the world wasn't moving during lockdown! I love it.
Many have said that the cycle they feel no 'symptoms' is the cycle they conceive soooooo lets hope that is the case for you.

OP posts:
Elakiya · 09/09/2020 15:39

@candycrush2298 hahaha, yh it does. Do you think I'll be able to fit my 4 kids in :P I kind of need to be pregnant by next year to still be on track for that :(

@Elakiya LOL sounds like you have your years planned out hahah but that is the general order of things. I know after 25 things do just seem to change. I was touring and working in America at 25 /26 years old and it feels like a lifetime ago LOL

OP posts:
NamechangeTTC · 09/09/2020 15:34

I’m 5dpo, and 32 but not counting since I turned 32 in lockdown!

Feeling nothing compared to last cycle.

Elakiya · 09/09/2020 15:21

@candycrush2298 Definitely but I'd say as soon as you pass 25 you've kind of lost your youth anyway lol :P. People settling down more getting married/having kids and then that kind of continues into 30's and then you're 40's/50's your busy helping your kids grow up and settle down and then 60's you retire and tour the world :D
