Afternoon everyone; sorry I have been a bit AWOL, just trying to take a step back from it all and not let it take over my life, as it seems to have been doing for the last few months.
Count I completely understand how you feel, sometimes all the overthinking etc can do more harm then good. Maybe taking a relaxed approach would be a better course of action. We are here if you need to offload or just fancy a TTC chat :)
Jam DP is very wrong for at least not telling you the truth in the first instance. As Disco said, is this an isolated incident??
Disco we stopped putting Oscar in a pen because he just did not like it - we even tried covering it with a light blanket so that he could not see us but in the end we kept him in the kitchen out of the pen on a large bed and he was much more relaxed and happier. Maybe try putting him in the pen in the kitchen with a cover. We also found that he liked routine, and we would have him in bed by about 10ish (although it meant we were not allowed in the kitchen too much after this time as to not upset it him - but as he got older, this did not matter as much!). We would, and still do, bribe him with treats and say good boy when he successfully got onto the bed.
As for the little accidents, do not worry - these will happen and frequently as well; as pups they just can't hold it and don't really have the sense to let you know. Its a case of keeping a watchful eye out unfortunately and praising when he wees and poos outside but gently chastising when he does something naughty inside. He'll soon get the message and learn not to do it when treats are not received. :)
Yes, my temp went back up today :) boobies are still really sorely, especially at night and I have very very very light cramping but apart from that I feel normal so not getting my hopes up. Still not convinced that my chart is showing ov if I am honest, my temps just don't seem to be biphasic enough
