@MrsCristiano it's preschool, so nursery I think. I'm making sure to take her to school and pick her up myself on her first day, I'm usually working so don't get to do it!
I'm really confused, OPK was low today but I'm having the 'feeling' I usually get when I'm ovulating 🤷🏼‍♀️ if I wasn't testing I would say I'm 99% sure it's happening today! I'll keep testing though. So confused!

@Crazycatlady19 really? Oh my that's far too early for me! We have a 'not before 6:30' policy 😂 she did go through a phase of 5am wakings but that we before she was 1. She's usually pretty good, somewhere between 6:30 and 7 she's usually up. Does your DD go to bed okay?

@MrsCristiano 🤣 my hormones are all over the place and my DF knows not to annoy me! 8DPO still feeling bloated,nause, constipation and light cramping now and then. I'm worried I'm making all these symptoms up in my head! Most people that have had BFP have seemed to experience sore breasts in the early days and I don't have that.. 😑 still resisting the urge not to test! Lol xxxx

@MrsCristiano oh dear 😂
Ah my gosh, well he's the one to lose out - next time just wear your most rubbish ones and remind him of what he missed!!

MrsCristiano · 25/08/2022 08:39

@alwaysseeingstars but it will be hard seeing I can't stand to look at him now! 🤣🤣 Victoria's Secret undies no less pity he didn't get to see them 🤷‍♀️

alwaysseeingstars · 25/08/2022 08:33

@MrsCristiano typical!! Sure you've done plenty though (and if there's any way of DTD today I'd try to make it happen just in case!)
Good luck to your DD 😊

Crazycatlady19 · 25/08/2022 08:32

@MamaSJ15 God I'm so jealous. My DD (and DH) are always up at 5 latest. My body does NOT enjoy this at all so I'm constantly sleep deprived.

MrsCristiano · 25/08/2022 08:07

@MamaSJ15 is it nursery or p1? Wee soul take loads of pictures I love looking at her when shes cute and wee with the same wee sulky face😂

MamaSJ15 · 25/08/2022 08:05

@MrsCristiano OPK was 0.17 today, clearly nowhere near peak yet! Hopefully DH won't get too tired of DTD too early this cycle 😂

MamaSJ15 · 25/08/2022 08:00

@MrsCristiano oo let us know how she gets on 😊
Not fooling yourself at all, I'm sure you're covered.
I had a dream last night that we weren't at all prepared for DD to start school, I'm a bit worried now that I've forgotten something considering this is my first child and her first time in uniform 🥹

MrsCristiano · 25/08/2022 07:44

@MamaSJ15 yeah today. School releases them at 9am. I didn't DTD last night. DH fell asleep I was so mad!! Then told him to sleep in spare room again😂 I needed company more than anything, and he was useless. I'm hoping its the bit before counts more anyway 🙏 fooling myself like

MamaSJ15 · 25/08/2022 07:34

@MrsCristiano when are the results out? Is that today? Good luck to your DD!! I'm sure she's done great 😊
I'm absolutely shattered this morning. DD woke me up at 5:30am crying, think she was dreaming, seemed asleep and was mumbling something about wanting a TV in her room 😂 then she came round, went for a wee and went back to bed!
Managed to DTD last night, about to do another test but I'm doubting ovulation will be happening yet.

MrsCristiano · 24/08/2022 22:28

@MamaSJ15 this is like a normal month usually (when I actually bothered doing tests)

MamaSJ15 · 24/08/2022 22:09

@Alice1608 thanks, @Tropicana1 and I are sticking around on here as everyone is so lovely - hopefully we'll bring some good luck to the thread!! xx

Alice1608 · 24/08/2022 15:33

@alwaysseeingstars omg massive congratulations!!!! Xxx

alwaysseeingstars · 24/08/2022 14:49

@Alice1608 @Crazycatlady19 @ngnecftn I got my BFP at 8dpo in the evening, had a lot of symptoms (worst were awful acne and acid reflux) but personally I would recommend waiting as long as you can to test, partially because a lot of pregnancies won't show up that early, and partially because the stress of wondering if I'd have another chemical in those really early stages was somehow worse than the not knowing!

Alice1608 · 24/08/2022 13:51

@MamaSJ15 all things are pointing to being patient till next week and testing if I miss a period lol wahhhh! Lol xxx

Alice1608 · 24/08/2022 13:50

@Crazycatlady19 this is what I was thinking. Because I don't do BBT, I don't know if this is high for me or not. I just know I'm within the range and am currently in aircon because I hate the heat! Lol xxx

MamaSJ15 · 24/08/2022 13:50

@Alice1608 I honestly can't remember about temp. I temped when TTC my first child but not with this one as it wouldn't be pointless, getting up at random times to deal with a toddler haha. Maybe just Google it. But I think it's still too early to tell for you at this point in your cycle.

Crazycatlady19 · 24/08/2022 13:47

I don't do BBT so not sure @Alice1608 . Bet loads of other lovely ladies would know though.x
