@Mfbroome have you done an opk today? My lines were getting darker but this morning seemed alittle fainter but I find it differs at different times of the day. Hopefully we’ll both get our +opks soon. I’m on cd11 today, how about you?

God yes that bit with the boy under the bed was so creepy, I'd forgotten about that! 😫 I'm definitely more of a comedy kind of person but I can't resisit something scary!

@Cocobana oh yes I forgot about Toy Story 4 coming out! Never mind the kids, I'll be in line waiting for that. 😂 I bet your DS would LOVE that!
Hows your OPK looking today? What CD are you again?

@Mfbroome ooh they're good signs, fingers crossed! 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Ah thank you so much, that is reassuring. I'm going to book myself in with a midwife next week, maybe it will start to feel more real then! I've not got many symptoms right now, I'm just tired, cramping and my face is spotty. 😂 Theres the odd thing as well, like I'm off chocolate right now but cooked veg smells absolutely delicious - I had practically a whole dinner plate full of broccoli, cauliflower and peas last night!

Ah you must be so excited about your trip! Packing is a pain though, I bet especially woth two little ones. Are they excited too?

Tbh she’s worse at the minute now she’s less tired unless she goes to school she doesn’t seem to be tired enough to go to bed without a lot of persuasion-when she was a bit younger she was the one who wanted to go the bed on time!! She does still sometimse wake up in the night and come in to our room but it tends to be 5-6am now whereas before it used to be 1-2am so that better and yesterday she came in to our room at 6am then slept til 9.30!! Xx

@Cocobana ahh how frustrating! Yes maybe try again this arvo, see if you get a stronger line, mine are building but I have the odd time where they r fainter too x
I'm on cd14 I'm expecting it in the next few days 🤞🏻 I've had some nipple soreness and slight cramping so that normally happens to me a few days before, any signs for u?

@PastaSauceHoarder I love a good comedy too and thriller etc, I like most genres apart from sci fi and action!
I know TS4 is def a one for adults and kids alike. My opk seemed fainter today than they have been previously but that could have something to do with the big mug of tea I’ve drank this morning 🤣 I’ll test again this afternoon. I’m on cd11 today and on a 28 day cycle.
How are you today? Have you any more symptoms? The cramping you had is def a good sign.

@MummyBearBoo oh no don’t tell me it’s gets worse lol ds was slept through the night before Christmas for a whole week and then reverted back so we’re convinced it his molars. Last night he went to sleep finally at 9pm and then I transferred him to his own bed then he woke up at 12 and was back in our bed. I am soft with him mind so I prob don’t help matters!

was sleeping*

Your dd is sleeping well through the night at least, that’s positive 👍🏼😃

Sorry yes I done opk this morning and my darkest line so far 👍🏼

@PastaSauceHoarder yes once u start to get apt's through it becomes more realistic! Also I found with #2 I felt him moving much sooner than #1 which is something to look forward to aswell! ❤️❤️
Yes they are very excited to get back to the mountains they love it there 😍😩
Funny about the veg cravings amazing what ur body does isn't it! I'd say you have quite a few symptoms then which is nice and positive for some very strong preg hormones! That's how I always reassured myself if I'm having the little symptoms there must be decent amounts of hormone there ❤️😍👍🏼 plus u found out quite a bit before AF was due right so that's positive! Xxx

Thanks @Mfbroome I know I hate it when they go faint our the blue when they’ve previously been nice and strong. It’s prob to do with diluted urine and stuff I bet. It’s alubds like your ovulation is definitely imminent. Yes last cycle I started getting ewcm, headaches and cramps 3 days before I ovulated. Yesterday I got those symptoms symptoms so I’m hoping it means I’ll ovulate in acouple of days. I’m cd11 today.

out of the*

sounds*

Symptoms x 1 lol god these typos!!

Sorry guys was at work...Im going straight back out again with ds and mum for a walk but am going to catch up shortly and reply. Xo

Great to hear that you did the pillow under bootie with sucess @pasta I will defo be continuing it then 😂 Being off chocolate is a good thing I suppose lol. Aww no for the spotty skin but then they might go away and glow soon. With ds my skin was terrible at start then lovely and clear the rest of preg.

@coco oh no hes not placid at all. He is such a rascal but naps ok. 😂 Aww toy story is amazing. I tried to get ds to like it so i could watch something good when tv was on for him but he didnt have the attention for it. Dont be worried about light opk as you said could be diluted but also same as me when u told ne a positive can come out of the blue 🙂 Have u tested again?

Thats great that you have lost so much so fast @mummy I only eat wholemeal breads, pastas, unrefined sugar etc too. Since I found out how alot of the white stuff is made white. Yes I love teen mom og! Coco is a fan too.

@mfbroome so is that a positive opk today with it being so dark do you think? I can imagine its a nightmare, i find it hard enough packing for one dc lol

So this morning I got a darker line than yesterday so im counting today as ov day. Cd15. So much better than last cycles late ov.

@Scarletrose18 hope you’ve had a nice day. Ds seems to be starting to drop his daytime naps as some days he’ll have one but most days now he won’t. Today for the first time I think ever he’s gone to sleep at 7pm and in his own bed for 7.05pm it’s a record! I’ve messaged dh to tell him as I don’t think he’ll believe me! I have no idea how long he’ll stay there but even if he doesn’t as long as he continues his sleep it’ll hopefully reset his clock to go to bed earlier (fc).
Yes my opk this afternoon looked to be building nicely and more cramps today. cd11 today. Hope you’ve managed to get DTD in lots, me and dh DTD last night and I did the legs in air afterwards, figured may as well give it a try lol nothing to lose!

Oh and I eat brown pasta, rice and bread too, I think it tastes nicer too. It’s awful the bleaching process they remove all the goodness.

Cd15 is amazing @scarlet, you’ll have a lovely length luteal phase this cycle 👍🏼😃✨✨✨✨

Really? Aww, how do you feel about him dropping them? Maybe him starting to drop the naps will be the start of him going to bed earlier and easier so that you and dh have some more time to yourselves 🙂
Dh has been letting ds go on the shopping centre rides and now everytime were at shops he wont walk past without going on...Mum and dad had ds at the shops the other day and he wanted on the rides and when my parents said no he took a tantrum and sat on the floor 😓😣😱🙈 I was so embarassed when my mum told me, we are not soft or laxi dazy parents and I try really hard with him to teach him to be good and have manners and raise a nice child that people will like and overall he is very good and hes so independant, he wi play alone for more than an hour at a time quite easily, but he has such a strong personality and such strong views on what he needs to be doing so when things dont go his way he shouts and its so loud and people look, its so embarrassing . When i was preg I used to be shocked seeing kids taking tantrums and now I said to dh, im that mum now. 😂😶😶

Sorry forgot to tag you in pp @coco

Hoping your positive comes very soon. With your 28 day cycle now im sure it will be any day. Love that you have been getting those legs in the air!

We dtd last night, I am still deciding whether to tonight or not. My tummy has been a bit sore all day low down on the left (i wondered could it be ov but been all day so dont think so) and I really dont feel like it. Do u think last night will be enough or should we just fight through the discomfort and quickly dtd again? 😂

Yes i know!! do you find that alot of white bread effects your tummy too? I get a bit bloated and uncomfortable with too much if I have it too often... but pizza is my fav food 😂😂 Its so worth it though.

@Scarletrose18 I think I’ve seen it coming for awhile as he’s dropped the odd one for a couple of months now and it’s started to become where he misses it more days than takes it. I find it easier without it tbh as it means it’s abit less restricting and i don’t mind as along as ds is happy enough. Today he wasn’t grumpy and powered through and didn’t seem to miss it where as afew weeks ago if he missed it I could tell he wasn’t ready.
Aww I totally get where you’re coming from. Before dc I used to see kids having tantrums and think omg and really didn’t understand it terrible I know. Now I have a toddler I realise they can not regulate their emotions and tantrums are perfectly healthy and normal. I’m totally that Mum now too but I’d say if they’re in school and behaving this way then we need to be worried 😂 . Me and dh are the same, we are trying to raise ds to be polite, say please and thank you and to be respectful of others and to share etc. Ds is very cute and will try to feed you his food, just the other day he was eating some cheerios and tried to give one to his daddy and one to me and wouldn’t settle until we had one too. He’s also very loving and gives me and dh the biggest hugs, we can see he is a lovely caring little boy. He went through a spell afew months ago where he would have big tantrums in public and I would be so embarrassed and would just want the ground the swallow me up! Then I realised it’s normal and if people judge a 1 year old than it says more about them than it does about anyone else. I’ve noticed ds is starting to calm down abit and isn’t having many but still doesn’t like to be told no, I don’t think any toddler does really though. I’m trying to teach him right from wrong but it’s so hard at this age because they’re still so little and can’t express themselves properly. I think as language develops further it’ll get easier for them to do that.

Aww thank you, I hope I get my +opk on time or early. Oh no sorry to hear you’ve been getting stomach pain, with you saying it’s low down on the left it sounds like it could be ovulation cramps? Does it feel a bit periody? It’s just I feel like that when I’m ovulating and in the days leading up to it. I would say DTD if you’re feeling up to it but don’t pressure yourself to if you’re not. They say you have the greatest chance if you DTD before ovulation so the sperm are already there waiting for the egg. It doesn’t hurt to do it on day of ovulation and day after but your chances are definitely bettwe before from what I’ve read. Just see how you feel ✨💐✨ The pressure to DTD can be a lot can’t it? Sometimes I’m pleased when it’s the TWW and I can breath and not be worried about doing it. I’ve tried this cycle to relax and not let it become a chore as with ovulating so late the last two cycles it just seemed to go on and on.

Oh god yes I do, I feel so bloated but like you i also love pizza and will make an exception for that! If they did th on a healthy base I’d opt for that but hey you can only get what’s available lol and I especially love Costco pizza 🍕

Thank you for saying that @coco you are right they are really young still, its other peoples comments when they say things like "he knows his own mind doesnt he".

Maybe it will be a good thing then with his naps. Its hard when they change their routine though isnt it. Awww your ds sounds like such a sweetie, so cute that he shares and cuddles you. (Im glad to hear he takes tantrums too though, makes me feel better he he)

It feels a bit like IBS in the wrong place if that makes sense? Lol. Do u ever feel like that?

Yes there so is alot of pressure and the first few days im fine them im just like okay im done now lol. I think I always start dtd too early in cycle so by the time positive opk cones im all deeded out 😂

My mum got a wholemeal base pizza! I cant remember where from... I think either tesco or adsa. Nit as nice but healthy lol

What cd did you ovulate on last month coco. Its great that you know your body so well and all of your signs. Do you tell your dh when your fertile and all details?

@Scarletrose18 I know I hate it when people think how they are now is some sort of pre curser to how they’ll be as an adult, lol
Haha oh yeah def tantrums, I think if a toddler didn’t take a tantrum I’d be concerned, it’s all so healthy and normal.
My ovulation symptoms feels more periody like crampy if you know what I mean. I think it sounds like your ovulation symptoms especially with you feeling it today too. I bet it’s a good sign and means you’re super fertile ✨✨✨ I don’t say much to dh in detail because I think it would put him off 🤣 I think I’d pressure him too much! He knows when I’m in my fertile window and vague details. Do you mention anything to your dh? Ooo the wholemeal sounds nice but as you say maybe not as nice especially if you’re fancying carbs and the calorific classic crust.
Last month I ovulated on cd17 and the cycle before cd18. I think it’s taken acouple of months after coming off the pill for my body to get back to normal. Now I’m back on my 28 days and had my ovulation symptoms a lot earlier hopefully everything is back on track. 🤞🏻
