Ah sorry to hear that @Cocobana, what a surprise thats its come early! And after those two very faint lines too, how frustrating. Hope you have an easy and quick period, pizza and drinks sounds like a really good plan! 🍕🍷

Yes I had quite a few tiny cramps @Mfbroome, I wouldn't worry! I don't get anything now, just the odd twinge. Its just the tiny baby getting itself comfy!

I'm feeling very sick this morning... Had to cancel a playdate with my SIL and my nephew. Can't face having two crazy toddlers running around today!

Hiya @HJWT, big warm welcome to you! Every other day sounds like a plan, you'd definitely be covering all bases!
How old is your first child?

Thanks @Mfbroome I’m abit of a light weight these days, cocktails are my favourite, I love trying new one too but usually i’d be happy with Budweiser, I really like rekorderlig peach and apricot pear cider too. How about you? My favourite pizza topping is Hawaiian (I’m not traditional). What’s yours?
Aww your relationship sounds lovely with your parents. I told mine straight away with ds and they told everyone they are the worse at keeping a secret! I didn’t want everybody else to know until after the scan so I’m not sure what I’d do the next time.

/s*

If there’s a next time 🤣

Thanks @PastaSauceHoarder I know it’s so strange. I’m never early. Aww hope you feel better soon, are you managing looking after you dd while you feel like this? I was working full time with no dc when I was pregnant with ds but if it happens again it’ll be a completely different experience this time around!

@HJWT welcome to the thread. How old are you if you don’t mind me asking? I’m in my thirties but I like to think 25

@Cocobana @PastaSauceHoarder thankyou both for the lovey wishes and I hope so too!

Do any of you guys wear UGG boots? If so do they stretch/ open up after wearing them a few times. Mine are a bit snug but the bigger size is way too big

@Blueflower22 I don’t have a pair but my friend used to and may advice is to get the smaller pair. They need to be snug as they’ll stretch off over time and end up just right. If you go for the roomy ones not they’ll ended up too big over time and will look too slouchy.

@Cocobana thanks coco! I've heard this as well so I've kept the smaller pair, but I've also heard that for some people they don't stretch. I really hope they do stretch though!

As long as they aren’t too right for you and you can stretch your toes they should be okay, you could try wearing them indoors for a day or so with some thick socks and see if they stretch off any?

Sorry ladies just been trying to catch up - really sorry @Cocobana is it definitely AF tho coz sometimes you can get spotting early in pregnancy!
@Scarletrose18 and @PastaSauceHoarder I'm only 6 dpo and AF is due in 9 days but last month it started 2 days early!!
Never had any symptoms pre 5 weeks in my other pregnancies so doubt I'll know til I miss an AF this is my 3rd cycle!
When will your scan be @Mfbroome - what day is your scan on @PastaSauceHoarder?
@Blueflower22 My UGG boots were really tight when i first bought them now they're a great fit!
My DD had her second tap dancing lesson today after ballet and loved it again - the teacher took me aside again and said she's a natural and is better at listening and doing what she's told that some of the older kids - sorry this sounds like I'm bragging but I'm just so proud of her coz she started off crying when I had to leave the room for the first two weeks coz she's used to me being in class with her but now she in pre-school class I have to stay outside! She's definitely getting more confident and came out of class with a little friend holding her hand (she was a slightly older girl) - so cute - I've just ordered her some pink sparkly tap shoes which she wanted! Xx

Oh my goodness so much reading to catch up on ladies!!

@pasta yes Af hasnt been a heavy one so thats good. How are you doing? Did your snow last? It snowed here this morning but by the time I had finished work it had all melted... gutted... the sledging will have to wait 😂
Sorry you are feeling so sick, other children really anoyed me when I was preg and normally I love kids 😂🤣😂

@blueflower thats great, im pleased you are ok chick. Thats nice to spend time together as a couple and see how you both feel in the future. I had ugg slippers and they stretched, not sure how much help that is 🤣 x

@hjwt Hello!! Welcome! How have you found this cycle without opk's? Are you more relaxed?

@coco 10dpo light bleeding? That sounds more like implantation coco especially when as you said you have never had such a short luteal phase and with the lines too. Has it got any heavier?

@mfbroome I remember from ds it cramping is worrying, its defo a good sign though as coco said the egg is nestling in nicely and securely 🙂 Thats lovely that you have others that know, also so lovely that your parents were desperate for more. Your 2 must be lovely for them to feel that way 🙂

@mummyb What cd will you test? Or will you wait for AF? Aww thats so sweet, I would be proud too if I was you! Any snow where you live?

@Scarletrose18 -I'm gonna wait til AF and not test until/unless it's late! No proper snow loads of ice and freeezzzzzing cold!!

@MummyBearBoo and @scarletrose18 thanks I’m 11dpo today so it would be a late IB but I wish it was that. From what I’ve heard IB is usually brown/pink? This has been pink/bright red. Unfortunately I’m certain it’s AF😔.It is very light and on and off but I’ve had my period start this way before and then fully come through the following day. I reckon tomorrow it will fully arrive.

@MummyBearBoo your little girl sounds absolutely adorable! Omg I bet you were super proud of her, how cute and she did so well for being patient and listening! Those sparkly shoes sounds lovely for her too! We’re on the same number of cycles so far except it was my third cycle that’s just ended. I’m hoping you’re going to get your BFP this cycle; it may not have been my third time lucky but I hope it’s yours! ✨✨✨✨

@scarletrose18 I’ve never had a cycle shorter than 28 days but since coming off the pill I have had short luteal phases. I’ve had acouple of 9/10 day ones. I’ll see what it is next month. I’ve no idea what’s normal for me in regards to that. I’ve only tracked my ovulation for 3 months. How are you? I hope you’ve had a nice day! Friday tomorrow 👍🏼😃 are you doing anything nice on the weekend? How’s your little one? ✨✨✨

@MummyBearBoo and very sensible waiting for AF, testing early just screws with your mind! I’m definitely going to wait until AF this cycle, no more pregnancy tests. I’ve told dh I won’t take one ever again until literally missed AF and had symptoms. Since coming off the pill my usual 28 day cycles have been 31, 28 and now 26 so I’m hoping they’ll even out back to 28 as I thought they finally had.

Thanks @Cocobana fingers crossed it's not your AF! Xx

Ladies when I’ve looked back at my ovia app and counter my luteal phase has been about 10 days for the past 3 months so I’m guess that is my norm at the moment. Do you think that’s too short to sustain and pregnancy? I’m abit worried it on the cusp of not being okay.

guessing* sorry on the typos!

Smart lady @mummyb and so much will power! I tested early and it just pickled my head too. Wish I could wait but I just dont seem to have the will power lol

Aww im so sorry that its AF @coco I know how your feeling ☹ I was in same position with evap line and my hopes up. Pizza and drinks with dh sound lovely.

10 days is fine, its if you have less than 10 days it can sometimes be a problem... I just looked it up to be certain. Thinking of you and sending you a hug 🤗🤗Your month will come soon, im sure of it! 💕
Is this your superbowl weekend?

I'm focussing on losing weight to take my mind off testing - @Cocobana you're overthinking it que sera sera! Good luck girlies!

Thanks @scarletrose18 I think I’m getting visions of still being in this situation after a year and would rather do everything now to increase my chances lol. I’m going to try and extend it abit and actually start taking my b vitamin out cupboard along with vitamin c 🤣 It can sustain a pregnancy just if implantation has taken place ‘in time’ apparently but can reduce your chances compared to a longer LP as less time to implant (I know I know dr Google!) I’ve also been getting spotting etc which can be related to being slightly deficient in progesterone so I suppose can’t hurt to see if the vitamins help me- I just need to remember to actually take them 😂
Yes it’s this weekend, lovely boiling hot bath, pizza and drinks are required 🍷🍕🛁
Hope you and all the ladies on the thread have a lovely weekend...x

Has anyone got any advise of temping ??? And what the best thermometer is ?? My daughter gets up most days at 5.50-6.10 AM.... does that change anything? As i know you have to take temp as soon as you wane up, iv never done temping but I think if nothing happens with our 'relaxed' approach I will try that... I think DH is exhausted from DTD so much 😁
