Morning, how we all doing? 😊

CrazyKJ · 03/06/2025 19:04

Haha that’s fair. Holidays aren’t really relaxing when everything is geared to the small ones 😂 Our boy has suddenly gotten a bit fussy with his eating, joys of toddlers lol X

No, we haven't. Don't think we will until he's about 7/8. As much as I would love to, I also don't want to 🤣 fussy eating, hot temperatures, demands to do just what he wants to do!

Yeah they really do 😍 No we haven’t yet, I’d love to but hubby is so nervous about flying with a toddler. I’ve even suggested going by Eurostar to Paris as an alternative, but he’s still not keen 🤷🏻‍♀️ I know he wouldn’t make me do it if it were the other way around though, so not fair to push it. One day lol. Have you gone abroad with little one? X

Well enjoy! They love holidays don't they 🥰 Have you taken your little one abroad yet?

Well sending positive thoughts your way!
What a shame about the blooming weather 😩 We managed to get the things we needed and then some at ikea lol. We’re going to Bognor Regis, we went just over a year ago and little one loved it then but he’ll definitely get more from it this time 😁

There is but I'm pinning no hopes on it! I obviously really would like it to be happen and will do some positive thinking and manifesting 🤣

Oh nice, which Butlins? I've never been but heard of a few people going.

Well, it was an outdoor show and it absolutely chucked it down so paid to go in and then left straight away 🙈 how was IKEA? Love it there haha x

CrazyKJ · 03/06/2025 15:10

Ah no, it’s mean there’s still a small chance as Friday is within the 5 days of ovulation🤞
yeah im okay thanks, feeling hopeful but trying to convince myself its fine if it doesn’t happen. We’ve got a week at Butlin’s booked for a few weeks time so got that to look forward to whatever happens.
How are you, did you enjoy the show with little one? X

Fingers crossed for you! I don't think this will be our month. Peak on Sunday but high from Saturday, presuming ovulation on Monday, didn't BD at all except for Friday. Not happy with Mr ChocolateEggs but at least I won't be wasting money on tests as I'm not going to bother testing!

It is what it is though! Are you ok? X

CrazyKJ · 03/06/2025 14:43

hey 😊 how we all doing?
I’m 5dpo now so crossing everything for a sticky little egg soon 🤞🤞

CrazyKJ · 01/06/2025 12:35

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate ooh nice, hope you both enjoy the show 😊 we’ve come to ikea straight from swimming. No my boy won’t shower at swimming either 🤷🏻‍♀️ so will have to pop him in and the bath later

Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate · 01/06/2025 08:30

Yeah I think today is slightly darker! I will take today as peak! I will no doubt test every time I go to the loo today 🙈

Just taking the little one to a show today and then out for lunch. You doing anything nice after swimming? Will your little one have a shower after swimming? Mine refuses so then has to have a bath at home.. so frustrating!

BellaStar2020 · 01/06/2025 08:27

Thanks @CrazyKJ I know you are logically right.

i just don’t normally experience these things after ovulation and the only time I remember that I did was when I was pregnant with my daughter. Will just wait to see if AF comes next week x

CrazyKJ · 01/06/2025 08:22

Almost definitely today, it looks a tad darker 😊 How are you, Any exciting plans for today?

We’re up and out already for swimming lesson 😴

Hmm do you think yesterday or today was my peak? 🤔

3dpo - anyone else?
OP posts:
CrazyKJ · 31/05/2025 21:53

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate Ah men eh? 🙈 even with yesterday you’d be in with a chance so I wouldn’t worry too much 🤞

@BellaStar2020 I didn’t have symptoms with my son until 2 days before AF was due. It was just a slight nausea and randomly thinking hubby smelt bad 😂 I do tend to get a full feeling in my boobs in the tww normally, so that wouldn’t make me think anything was off. If you are 6dpo it would be unlikely to be preg symptoms, as it usually takes between 6-10 days for implantation to happen.

BellaStar2020 · 31/05/2025 21:45

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolatei wouldn’t be unhappy, it would just take some mental adjustment as I thought that we were one and done. I just feel very different to how I usually do, it’s strange. Last time, I knew for sure very early on I was as pregnant but I was trying and watching for symptoms.

Eurgh @CrazyKJno joy tonight 🙄 he's had a big tea 🫠 maybe tomorrow will be enough!

Sorry @BellaStar2020I didn't get any symptoms with my son, sorry, so absolutely no use to you! I was nauseous but that was quite a bit after I found out I was pregnant. Nothing before the BFP or early days. Hopefully someone on here has something for you! Do you want it to be a BFP if you haven't been TTC?

BellaStar2020 · 31/05/2025 21:27

Hi all,
we haven’t been TTC. I have one child already, but this last week I have felt nauseous, feel like my boobs have grown to be under my armpits and are large and veiny, plus the last 2 days a horrible taste in my mouth.
we DTD on 22nd May and my last AF started on 15th May. I am not due on until around the 10th June. I feel like I am going crazy because even though these are very similar symptoms to last time (apart from the taste in my mouth) but nowhere near this early on.
i took a pregnancy test and of course because it is so early it was negative. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced symptoms like this very early on, I would be 6 DPO I think if my calculations are right however some months I have 22 day cycles and others 24, 26 etc! Just wanting to hear others experience and thoughts?

CrazyKJ · 31/05/2025 19:29

Off to a good start then lol. It’s been good but so busy. Feel like I’m almost ready for bed already 😂 how was your day? X

Thanks @CrazyKJlast night ✔️ that was day before so need to get busy! Have you had a good day? X

OP posts:
CrazyKJ · 31/05/2025 19:04

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate Thats definitely your peak! From what I’ve read the best days are the day before peak, day of and then day of ovulation. So aslong as you catch as many of these as you can you’ve got a good chance 😊

@Michelle292 Congrats on your pregnancy, hope it’s a healthy 9 months for you!

I've got a just turned 4 year old. I had a CP back in Jan 2023 and then last cycle too (also first of using the OPKs), but not further along than 5 weeks. Fingers crossed this is a super sticky one for you x

Michelle292 · 31/05/2025 17:34

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate iv got an almost 5 year old! How about you? Had a miscarriage last year so more worried than ever now! So hoping this sticks, it was my first month using the OPKs aswell!

Ah congratulations 🎊 do you have any others? It's so difficult because we have no control over anything when it's in there!
