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 😁

@Confused678866 @Skl2021 Hi ladies, I have just read a lot of your thread and felt like a nosey person reading a private conversation rather than a forum. I was so thrilled to see you BOTH pregnant. massive congratulations. Can I ask how long it took you both? We are trying to conceive our first baby rn and it is taking longer than I thought it would and it is rather disheartening. Congratulations again :-). X

@FlyOnTheWall89 Hey, haha bet there was an awful lot to read!!
It took me 4 months (5 cycles). How long have you been trying for? Xx

@Confused678866 Okay wow, it felt longer than that reading through the page ahaha. This will be my 6th cycle :-(. It is tough I have to say, more than I realised. We are using OPKs even though we have very regular sex and I have pretty clear ovulation symptoms. I am trying Pre Seed this month and was only taking Floradix and Vit D as usual, but I have upped vitamins to COQ10, Folic Acid and B12 (I think). Maybe it will be this month :-). Any tips / hints / tricks for this BFP thing x

@FlyOnTheWall89 my first took me 11 months so hang on in there it can be so frustrating when it doesn't happen first time! Second took one month. And this 3rd time took 8! So I didn't follow a particular pattern 🙈🤦 xx

@Skl2021 so interesting. I am hanging on in there as you say. I’m actually more positive once AF has come and gone because I see it as a new chance. Just want it to happen and I’m being impatient. Thank you thank you for your reply x

@FlyOnTheWall89 Try not to get too disheartened.. 6 cycles so far is very normal. To be honest, I have up on OPK's but that's only because they were making me stress too much and I was becoming a stress head with them! I just relied on apps, ovulation signs and DTD often throughout fertile window.
Hang on in there! Xx

@Skl2021 Hey, how are you? Xx

@Confused678866 hello. I'm not doing too bad. Have my moments sicknes stil getting Me down seems to be getting worse. Had booking appointment today so that's all done need to wait for scan date now. Just been away for the weekend aswell so that was good to get a change or scenery! Now I have huge amounts of washing and drying to catch up on 🤦 How u doing xx

@Skl2021 Sorry to hear the sickness is getting worse.. are you actually sick or feeling sick?
Oh fab, that's good. It's nice to start ticking off the appointments isn't it!
Ooh lovely!! Definitely good to have a change of scenery. We're wanting to go away for a couple of days before baby arrives but I just don't know where to go and my partner is so busy at work at the moment so don't know when we'd fit it in!
Yes good thank you.. getting bigger and more uncomfortable now! Xx

@Confused678866 yes I don't know why its ramping up I thought it was meant to get better 😭 can't remember having it for this long with the boys. I haven't been sick.. yet 🤣 I feel sick 24/7 now mostly and past few days I have started gagging at smells or thinking of certain things set me off so I'm very close now. Can feel it come up my throat 🤦 scared to open my mouth now 🤣 partner can tell when I feel really bad as I stop talking 🙈 just keep it shut! You taking little one along or just you two? Anywhere is better than nothing just to get you out somewhere different. Ohh I'm dreading that it's so uncomfortable isn't it everything getting squished up!! Xx

@Skl2021 Oh I don't envy you, I can't cope with feeling sick! I didn't have it a lot with my little boy but I did with this one.. nothing too major and it wasn't 24/7 but it's vile isn't it.
Haha oh no 🙈 can't be fun!
We'd take the little one with us.. just don't really know where to go. Even if it's just one night away somewhere, I'd be happy!
Yeah that's definitely how I've started to feel. During the evenings after dinner, I feel like I can't breathe because everything is just so cramped 😵‍💫 still got 14 weeks to go 👀😂 xx

@Skl2021 Hey, how are you doing? I hope you're feeling better! 🤞🏻 xx

@Confused678866 hi I'm sorry I didn't reply I could of swore I did 🙈🤦 well IV had another rough week 🤣 just about surviving! My youngest has a chest infection and not sleeping so I am exhausted Trying not to fall asleep about now 😩 we thought it was covid so we were in isolation until we got the results. Just trying to avoid a hospital stay with him 🤞 So I'm just about functioning and the sickness is back but think that's cos I'm really tired so hope it goes again. 🤞😂 Hope your having a better week 🤣🙊 xx

@Skl2021 Ahh bless him I hope he's better soon! It's horrible when they're poorly isn't it 😩 Glad it isn't covid!
My little boy has had this vile cold that's going around and kindly passed it on to me so I've felt absolutely shite 🙃😂
He suffers with chest infections a lot so I know how you feel, it's draining isn't it. The cold has now gone to his chest so he's coughing like no ones business 🤦🏼‍♀️
I'm 27 weeks today, barely sleeping as I'm drowning in acid reflux now, literally waking up in the night with it in my mouth 🤢 it's vile.
Had to wait over an hour in the hospital this morning for a blood test as I have my Anti-D injection tomorrow.. the waiting was vile, I'm impatient when I feel rubbish and sleep deprived 😵‍💫😂
Then I have another appointment on Friday at the hospital! So 3 days, 3 appointments.. why they couldn't just do it all in the same day 🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️
So yeah, I'm great!! 😂😂
How many weeks are you now? Sorry, I keep forgetting! Xx

@Confused678866 omg the cough I know they can't help it but it's doing my head in 🤣🤦 literally every 2 minutes. He couldn't sleep at all last night due to coughing it just wouldn't stop didn't know what to do 😩 he's on antibiotics now so hopefully they kick in soon 🤞 I don't really suffer with acid reflux is there nothing u can take? Doesn't sound pleasant 🙈 and u still have a bit to go 😩 An hour for a blood test what a joke 🙄 haha I have to get the anti d injection aswell how weird 🙊 it's a horrible one isn't it so thick! Did u have to get the diabetes test? Think I wait at hospital for around 3/4 hours for that not looking forward to it drinking that gloopy drink 🤮 yes u get them told to do it all in one day 🤣👌 I'm 11 weeks now. Got my scan appointment for 26th so I should be 13 weeks xx

@Skl2021 Haha oh I know, it drives you mad doesn't it! I know it's awful for them as they just don't know how to try and clear it do they.
Oh bless you, you must be so tired. 🥴
I'm feeling pretty exhausted the last week or so because of this cold and acid 😭😭
I suffered in my first pregnancy but towards the end so it was a shock this tile when I've got it so early. You can have something prescribed by the GP but I'm trying to avoid for as long as I can.. so I live on milk and Gaviscon 😂
Yeah I've got that Anti-D tomorrow I'm dreading it 🤢🤢
No, I've never had to have the diabetes test! It doesn't sound very nice though 🤮
Ahh amazing! Are you looking forward to your 12 week scan? Xx

@Confused678866 absolutely knackering isn't it when you have a couple of things at once hit u at the same time 😩 Dont they say baby has alot of hair if you get that? Or am I making that up 🤣🙄 yes I don't blame you it's a horrible injection u can feel it going in 🤮 yes kinda excited to see how much baby has grown but always have something in back of my mind thinking something has gone wrong 🤦 xx

@Skl2021 Yeah just wipes you out doesn't it 😭
Haha yes they do say that but my firstborn came out as bald as anything 👀😂 so I reckon this one will be the same!
Ahh I'm sure all will be fine! I was the same though, it's only natural to worry isn't it xx

@Confused678866 hey again 👋 hope your ok! Just a quick drop in. I started bleeding again yesterday 😩 alot more this time than previous and bright red. This pregnancy is definitely putting me through it 🤦 head All over the place. Thankfully it slowed down and stopped 🤞 such a rough ride wondering when the next bleed will happen 😩 don't know why it keeps doing it. Praying everything will be alrite trying to keep positive 🙌🤞 xx

@Skl2021 Hey.. oh no, hope you're okay?! It really is a rougher ride for you isn't it 😩
Have they said much about the bleeds you've experienced? Must be very stressful but you're doing the right thing by telling yourself to keep positive! 🙏🏻 xx

@Confused678866 bit up and down had a cry. It's so hard to get attached to this baby as I'm constantly living in fear of loosing it so want to detach myself from it 😭 last time I went in they couldn't find a reason. They said they would see me again but there's nothing they can do as it stops apart from scanning me everytime. I might have to see if consultant can tell me anything or if there's anything I can do or take to try and help it. I know some people bleed all the way through but it's torture. And I never had this with my previous pregnancies. I just needed someone to talk too 😩 sorry for the doom and gloom xx

@Skl2021 No I totally get what you mean though! It must be very hard. Yes, some women do have bleeds all the way through don't they and everything is absolutely fine, and I'm sure it will be for you too!
It must be very stressful though and I do really feel for you! No not at all, I don't mind! Healthy to talk to people xx

@Confused678866 thankyou for being there 💕 I will plod along take one day at a time hope it stays away 🤞 how are you doing? U having a good weekend xx

@Skl2021 No problem at all!
You'll be fine, I know you will but I appreciate it's not very nice to go through and obviously causes a lot of worry for you.
Yeah I'm okay thanks! Weekend has been okay so far. Had an appointment yesterday to discuss birth options because of my section last time so that's made everything feel a little more real 😬🙈 and I now realise how underprepared I am 😂 xx

@Confused678866 how did the anti d go? 🙊 Oh my yes so much more real now your planning the birth 🤭 is it gettin scary yet?! Do u plan on having another section then? Xx
