Would I take this as ovulation?🤞

[Skl2021]

Would you say the 3rd test down was my peak? Seems to be getting lighter top one was today. These were alot brighter irl. The picture of one on its own was the third test down before it dryed. How many more days should I DTD? And when would I class 1dpo? Thanks 😁

@Skl2021 Haha yeah that's nice though, at least the pressures off you!
Yeah I hope it happens for us both soon 🤞🏻
Remind me again how long it took for both of yours? Xx

@Confused678866 would be good if we got pregnant same month or close so we could do the journey together 🤞 well my first took ten months 😱 and I tried everything I was obsessed and every month it got harder thought it would never happen. Second took one month think we even only DTD once I can pinpoint the exact day 🤣🤦 thought it would take forever because of my first but nope that was a shock 🤣 OH thought we would have months of trying 🙊 if only it was that easy! I looked back at I didn't get a positive on a frer with my first until 17dpo?! Like wow that's late x

@Skl2021 That would be so good!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻
That's crazy isn't it.. first one 10 months and second one a month! Mine was only a month too so I think it's come as a bit of a shock that it's taking longer this time.
Oh wow that is late! Just goes to show though doesn't it. I can't really say with mine because of mistaking the implantation bleeding for a period 😂 by the time I tested I think I was actually about 7/8 weeks pregnant! Xx

@Confused678866 yes it's weird how there's no pattern just literally luck of the draw 🤣🤦 no matter what we try. I hope it's not 10 months again or longer that was a killer 😤😩 yes very late it was right aswell as I did opks and knew when I ovulated etc even took basal temperature back then 😂🙈 I think I would prefer finding out when you did that like two months down without stressing! And not long to wait until first scan 🎉 how would u tell the difference this time between period and implantation?! As u don't test xx

@Skl2021 Yeah it's crazy! I hope it's not 10 months either 🤞🏻 have you been trying since Jan??
Haha yes it did help with that!! I went for a private scan thinking I was around 6/7 weeks and then I turned out to be 10 weeks 😲 so I had to quickly call to rearrange midwife booking appointment and 12 week scan etc.. and we were on our way to Cornwall too that day straight after the early scan 😂
Then I was a few days ahead again when I had my 12 week scan so turned out to be nearly 13!
Well, looking back now, my implantation bleeding was pretty obvious as I remember thinking it was a dark colour and barely any of it but because it was my first cycle after stopping the pill, I just put it down to my body readjusting etc.. I think I'd definitely know this time as I have fairly heavy periods since stopping the pill again xx

@Confused678866 wow that all went really quick!! Hate the wait between scans takes forever. I think I would go private with this one being the last and I definitely want a 3/4d one! Never had one of them before. IV never had implantation bleeding so wouldn't know what to expect. Wonder if u would get it with your second 🤔 xx

@Skl2021 Haha yes it did help.. I had a 4D scan with mine and it was amazing! He really looked it too when he was born and the positions he would sleep in etc were the same as the scan! Definitely recommend them. I'd have a private scan again too if I fall pregnant because the wait up to 12 weeks seems insane.
I really don't know to be honest.. I have read about it as to whether because I'd had it first time round would I have it again but I don't think I necessarily would. Who knows 🙈
I'm having various 'symptoms' but I've had them the last couple of months and they were linked to AF 😭 xx

@Confused678866 what symptoms are u having 👀 just being nosey haha. How's your cold now? U feeling better? U should be around like 10 dpo now? Roughly xx

@Skl2021 I've been feeling sick last night and a little tonight but I've had that the last couple of months. My nipples are sensitive 👀 sorry, TMI lol but I had that the last couple of months too! The only thing different is this cold? But with having a little one at nursery who's always snotty and catching things, I could have just picked something up from him. They say your immune system lowers when conception happens so that your body doesn't try to fight the embryo as a foreign object.. it's actually really common. But I think I just have a cold 😂
I'm also exhausted the last couple of days but think that's the cold too? I don't feel too bad, it seems to come and go, my throat hurts and I'm just really achey, I'm already in bed 🤣
Yeah one of my apps has me at 10DPO but then one of them has me at 6DPO!! Xx

@Confused678866 I had sore nipples last month and never had that before! I get sore boobs around af but never sore nipples that's why I was so hopefull! It's so hard to not think into it and all the symptoms are so similar to af so it's hard! But they are all promising symptoms I know you won't want to get ya hopes up tho! I have my 🤞 crossed for you! Maybe an early night might do you done good xx

@Skl2021 Yeah the symptoms are all so similar 😫 it's like mind games isn't it.
Definitely not getting my hopes up at all.. I find it easier that way when AF comes!
Yes I had an early night last night and do feel a bit better for it. Are using an OPK today? Let me know how it goes xx

@Confused678866 yes I'll try one maybe this afternoon see if anythings changed and let u know xxx

@Skl2021 Yes let me know! 🤞🏻 I just have a feeling AF will arrive in the next few days, I'm always got a few days before and I've gone like that today 😫 xx

@Confused678866 oh no. 😩 What u feeling crampy? I don't usually get a feeling but last few months IV started spotting early 🤔 don't know why. But they are all over the place xx

@Skl2021 No I haven't been feeling crampy to be honest but I get like hot flushes beforehand and I've had them today.. I don't feel like AF will come other than that. But I do still have this cold so it could also be that 🤷🏼‍♀️
It's so strange isn't it how and why our bodies just change!! It's the biggest head f**k ever isn't it!! Xx

@Confused678866 ohh no that's very similar isn't it especially with you having a cold it just could be that 🤔 don't let it get you down tho u still have a chance don't write it off just yet xx

@Skl2021 Yeah I'm still sort of hopeful.. apps are saying AF due either 3rd or 4th but that would give me a 23/24 day cycle. Last months lengthened to 26.. so I'm not sure how accurate the apps are yet! Xx

@Confused678866 so u could be looking around the 7th then maybe? Why can't our bodies work like clockwork 🤣🤔 would be so much easier! I took another opk and it's the same 😣😤 that's three days of high readings but not getting darker so I don't know anymore 🤣🤦 xx

@Skl2021 Yeah I'd say anything up to the end of next week maybe? 🤷🏼‍♀️
Haha oh I know, drives you crazy doesn't it. I just want to be pregnant! 😭
Oh really? Are the lines as dark as or darker than the control line though?? Xx

@Confused678866 nope I don't think there anywhere near the control 🤣 just the app saying high. IL add the pictures 🤦 xx

@Skl2021 Oh yeah I see what you mean, it's a decent line but not yet dark enough. Are you testing twice a day now?? I would if I was you as you might have a quick surge! Xx

@Confused678866 no haven't bothered don't want to ruin my laid back approach 🤣 what will be will be. I think I only have about 4 left so hoping I ovulate in The next 4 days 😂🤞 haven't even DTD again yet need to get moving 🤦 xx

@Skl2021 Yes I don't blame you actually, it's good to have a laid back approach sometimes, I think it just eases the stress/pressure a little which is good for us!
Haha you better get it on tonight, just in case! 😂
I'm enjoying not currently DTD and just being able to chill in the evenings at the moment... I'm sure I'll be back to it next month though 😭😂 xx

@Confused678866 haha I would but we're both knackered and the kids aren't asleep we probably will be before them 🤦🤣 IL try my hardest haha just incase ovulation springs up on me! Otherwise il be out this month due to not DTD 🤣🤦 not very good at this ttc if you don't DTD!! Haha. And stop writing this month off yet!! Have some faith you never know IL cross everything for you 😀🤞🤞🤞🤞👀 xx

@Skl2021 Haha oh no! It's so hard isn't it when you have kids already because you're just ALWAYS tired!! Just think though, it only takes once!! 🤞🏻
I know, I'm terrible for it 🤦🏼‍♀️ I don't feel either negative or positive about it, I just don't know again 🤷🏼‍♀️😂 I'm always reading about people's symptoms during their TWW and then I think 'oh I haven't had any of that' and I write it off! But I know that you don't always have any sort of symptoms! I was really hoping the cold was to do with it all, if not, I'll be really pissed off that I just had a cold 🤣 xx
