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 I know, it messes with your head doesn't it! You'll be fine though.
I didn't have much of a bump until about 20ish weeks with my little boy but I've had one for a weeks now. Haha yes he sort of gets it but I have to keep reminding him when he's being boisterous! He was t very happy about the idea when we first told him 🙈😂 xx

@Confused678866 oh I can't remember when I got my bump think it was later as I'm tall and hide it very well. Well he will have to get used to it won't he 🤣 can't get a refund now 🙊 I'm sure he will be fine when baby's here they will be best friends in a few years 💞 mine fight like cat and dog but then miss each other if there not together xx

@Skl2021 Haha see, I'm only 5"3 so hard to hide! Yes I think he will be great now, I wasn't very confident when we first mentioned it to him 😂 he brings it up now though and says 'Mommy you're having a baby' 🥰😂
Aww I bet they do. Do you think they'll be excited about new baby? Xx

@Confused678866 aww that's so cute 🙊💞 he will be a great big brother! Yes I think they will be very excited especially as there older and understand it more. Weirdly enough the last couple of weeks they kept talking about babies and me having another one 🤦 even though they never hear us talking about it. Maybe they subconsciously knew 🤣🙈 xx

@Skl2021 Yes I hope so! He's still quite young so it's a lot for him to get his head around and actually understand but he's getting there.
Haha no way 🤭 they must have subconsciously known! Do they want a brother or a sister? 🥰 xx

@Confused678866 yes it Was weird as they have never mentioned baby's before. Or having another one. I dont think they have a preference 🤣 I would love a girl just to experience it! But I could be destined to be a boy mum 🙈🤣 xx

@Skl2021 Haha they must know then 🤭🙊 when do you think you'll tell them?
Yes I know what you mean.. everyone assumes that I'll be wanting a girl but I've always said, one of each would be lovely but at the same time, I like the idea of two of the same gender because they're like little mates!
I'm convinced I'm having a boy so I'll fall off the bed if they show me a girl 😂 xx

@Confused678866 they will have to know after we have told our parents etc because I know they would tell everyone 🤣 if I don't get bad morning sickness I want to hold of telling people but obviously if I'm Ill and people start wondering I might have to say something earlier. Last time my mum guessed 🙈🤣 I'm going to stick with girl for you! Have u noticed if your carrying different? Any different Cravings? X

@Skl2021 Yeah it's hard isn't it because you know they'll tell people 😂 we told our little boy when we were going on holiday and that's because we were telling family when we got there! It was only about a week and a half before our 12 week scan and to honest, he's 2 so he forgot by the time he ate a chocolate biscuit or something 😂
Haha did she guess? No way, how come she guessed?
Partners family guessed this time due to me turning down alcohol at a couple of events (not that I exactly drink a lot anyway!).
Erm, I feel like I'm carrying the same so far really. Craved cheese last time and sort of craving it again this time 😂 I'm intrigued for my scan on Friday as I like to compare scan pictures with my little boy! Xx

@Confused678866 yes they can't keep secrets it's alright when there little they all. Forget 🙊 she found my prescription for folic acid 🤣 and then put 2+2 together and just said are you pregnant 🙈 so I couldn't deny it then I had a huge smile on my face 🤣 I just said to her omg can you get any nosier 🤦 yes it will be good to see if there's any differences 🤔🙊 xx

@Skl2021 Hahaha that's so funny 😂 I'm not that close with my mum really so she had zero clue both times!
Yeah just wanting to get the scan day here now and hopefully everything will be okay and get to see baby! ❤️
How are your symptoms today? Xx

@Confused678866 she shouldn't be so nosey 🤣 trying to wait longer this time before we tell people. Ohh it wil soon be here! Lovely seeing them on the screen and the pictures 💞 I'm not to bad few odd twinges and I'm tired but that's nothing new 🤦 haven't took another test yet might do my last ones Thursday once I get past 14 dpo xx

@Skl2021 Do you usually wait until the 12 week scan to tell people?
Yes, looking forward to it!
Haha same here.. someone said asked whether I was suffering with tiredness in pregnancy and I said I've been suffering with that since the moment I got pregnant with my first and it's never left! 😂
How many DPO are you today? Eeek bet you still can't believe it can you! Xx

@Confused678866 we told family early last times but I want to try and hold off bit longer this time. Easier said than done 🤣🤦 hahah yes IV been tired 9 years now 🙈 that never goes!! 13 dpo today so should be 3 weeks 6 days? Is that how it works? 4 weeks tomorrow? God this is dragging already 🙈 no doesn't seem real. It's like too good to be true sort of thing xx

@Skl2021 Yeah we waited until 12 week scan last time and we would've this time but the holiday was happening so decided to tell them a little earlier. It is hard to keep it quiet though isn't it 🙈😂
Erm, you work it out from the first day of your last period usually.. well, that's how I used those calculator things as I didn't know definite ovulation but I knew period dates.
Haha it will soon fly by!! I know what you mean, I still feel like that now! Xx

@Confused678866 hi how are you today? According to my calculations I am 4 weeks today so I caved and did my last tests 🤦 top one of each is 11 dpo and bottom test of both is this morning xx

@Skl2021 Hey, I'm good thanks, how are you?
Ahh yay, they're looking fab!!! Do you finally believe it now? 😆🙊 when are you going to call the docs? Xx

@Confused678866 yes I'm ok just tired 🤣🙈 haha well I believe it but I just don't think it's like true like something going to go wrong 🤦 it's a hard battle 🤣 I might wait until next week. Just seems so early to start the ball rolling 🙈 xx

@Skl2021 Yes I know what you mean! You'll be fine though 🙂
Haha oh I think earlier the better! I didn't leave mine very long and I still had to chase for my booking appointment because covid was reducing appointments everywhere! Xx

@Confused678866 I'm hoping things arnt as busy now 🙈 I'm already bored of the wait and it's just started 🤣🤦 you doing anything nice this weekend? Xx

@Skl2021 I think things have calmed down a little maybe.. there are just different procedures in place in different areas. I have to do lateral flow tests before attending my hospital for appointments!
Haha it will fly by! You have two children to keep you busy 😂
Erm not much, I don't really go anywhere now because of covid. I'm anxious about catching it and I'm not vaccinated. Have you had your jab?
I think we are at partners mums on Monday for a bbq but just family.
I'm working from home constantly now too because of covid and pregnancy!
Are you doing much this weekend? Xx

@Confused678866 yes I went on my hospitals site and it said about lateral flow 🙈 I didn't think things were that bad. Asking as you wore masks. That's good that you fully at home now! Yes I'm fully vaccinated still going to be cautious tho. We were thinking of taking the kids somewhere. maybe like a trampoline park or something haven't properly decided and I'm working Saturday. Just in time for this so called heatwave. 🤦🤣 Cant deal with the heat now xx

@Skl2021 Yes lateral flows before every appointment.. I think it's just mainly because of the nature of the appointments and how many pregnant women are in there and it also allows you to take someone with you which is nice. So me and my partner will be doing a lateral flow on Thursday night.
That's good that you're vaccinated. I was offered mine and then found out I was pregnant and the advice at the time was not to have it.. now it's changed and they're saying have it but I don't like the idea of having it while pregnant so just got to be super careful, that's all I can do.
Oh that sounds fun!! I want to try and take my little one somewhere, I'm feeling really guilty at the moment because I feel like he's missing out on stuff because of me not wanting to risk things and go places 😭
Oh no I thought the heatwave wasn't happening now?! 🥴😫 xx

@Confused678866 yes well I had them both while ttc but I thought it's better to get it done. Yes IV seen alot of pregnant people now getting it but it's up to you isnt it what ever is best for you! Is he still at nursery? I'm sure if he was going to pick something up it would be from there 🤣 my little one had something nearly every week 🤦 is there nothing outdoorsy? Bit less risk then isn't it 🤞 oh is it not it's quite hot here today and I thought meant to get hotter 🤦🙈 I'm a dripping mess in work already without a heatwave 🤣🙄 xx

@Skl2021 I think I would have had them while TTC.. but not while pregnant. There's just too many mixed messages at the moment.
Oh no I mean I feel guilty that I'm not taking him many places because of the risk of me catching something, not him! He's at nursery 3 days per week so that's already my worry, he could bring covid back from there but I can't do anything about that 🤦🏼‍♀️
He's bad at the moment too! Yes I'll keep my eyes open for outdoor stuff, that's my safest option.
I'd heard that the heatwave was off the cards 🤞🏻🤞🏻 you might be okay! It hasn't been warm here and I hope it stays that way 😂 xx
