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 no the thought of a section fills me with dred! How come u had to inject is that something everyone does after a c section? Never knew that! Would you rather have a vaginal birth then for your next or another c section? That's if we could choose 🤣 at least with vaginal birth the pain goes almost instantly. c section pain must be hard the recovery. X

@Skl2021 It's so you reduce the risk of blood clots after major surgery. It was vile. They did it for me in hospital the following morning and I thought 'oh it's not that bad' didn't realise I was still numb though 🤣 so then when I was home, the following morning I had to do it myself and it took me about 10 minutes to put the needle in standing in front of the mirror like a quivering mess 😂😂 luckily it was only for 10 days but some women have to do them for 6 weeks!
I'd much prefer a vaginal next time to be honest!
Recovery was hard I thought, I just didn't obviously plan for it so it was a shock to me! Couldn't even get out of bed to baby when he was crying so my OH had to do it for the first week or so, which I found tough too because I felt very useless! I couldn't even walk up and down the stairs properly.
My wound reopened after about 3 weeks too which wasn't great but it did heal well in the end! Xx

@Confused678866 omg i didn't know any of this?! Haha u have scared me now I cudnt imagine going through all that. Give me vaginal birth anyday 🙈 IV never had any sort of hospital/surgery apart from childbirth 🤞 the more we talk about this the more I'm thinking wtf am I doing 🙈🤣😱 why do this again 😂 xx

@Skl2021 Haha! No honestly it was still all very much worth it.. just not exactly as I'd planned 🙈 it was tough but I suppose I didn't know any different because it was my first.
Haha yeah, and all those sleepless nights! .... to be honest, 2 years on and I still don't get a full nights sleep so I'm very much used to it still 😂 xx

@Confused678866 don't expect the sleep to get any better mine are still terrible. 🤦 Would love to go back to the toddler years they are so funny then! X

@Skl2021 Oh don't tell me that 👀😂 I've got friends with young ones and they sleep through the night pretty much every night and don't wake up until 7am ish.. mine doesn't sleep through properly, probably done it twice since he was born and gets up at 05:30 🥴
Ahh yeah they are funny aren't they when they're toddlers.. I love the little things that he comes out with and the things he gets us doing 🙊 xx

@Confused678866 how u doing today? Af stayed away? X

@Skl2021 Hey! AF not here yet but think it will be shortly, cramps and backache today.. but at least it's a longer cycle which I'm happy with. How are you? X

@Confused678866 glad your feeling upbeat 😄 yes I'm fine thankyou. Day 5 so not much to report. Too early to test 🙄🤣 xx

@Skl2021 Yeah I'm gutted it hasn't happened this time around but the longer cycle is definitely a positive thing as I was quite worried about it. Haha when will you start testing? 10DPO? X

@Confused678866 yes IL try for then but maybe might last until 8/9 🤣🙈 I want to know already xx

@Skl2021 😂 well fingers crossed for you! I'm curious when AF will show for me... as much as I want a longer cycle, I always want to get going again 🤣 x

@Confused678866 aww I hope it's soon for you 🤞but on the other hand it's good that it's getting longer. Would be even better if u got a bfp tho! I hate being in this first week waiting is not my strong point 😂🙊 xx

@Skl2021 Haha yes a BFP would be even more welcomed!! And it would be a shock! 😂 had stomach ache and backache today but still no AF 🤷🏼‍♀️
Haha yes I know what you mean, it seems ages away doesn't it but it will soon be here! Xx

@Confused678866 do u normally get stomach ache for a few days before af? How many more days away are you from longest cycle? X

@Skl2021 Well I did last month but I had it constant for about 4 days before which is something I don't usually get 🤷🏼‍♀️
Erm, I'm on day 25 today and the longest one I've had since tracking was 29 days xx

@Confused678866 so maybe another 4 days to go. Just thought with you having cramps af would arrive pretty sharpish. Bit of a mystery. Are u going to try another test if u get past day 29? X

@Skl2021 Yeah seems a little strange but I don't have a clue what's going on with me lately 🤦🏼‍♀️😂 yeah I'll definitely test again if I get to day 29 with no AF. I know it won't be a BFP but I'll have to test 🤣 xx

@Confused678866 our bodies like to mess us around you know keeps us on our toes 😂 u might go longer than day 29 🙊 my 49 day cycle was a killer wondering what the hell was going on just waiting around for something to happen. And obv we like a test don't we 🙈🤣 x

@Skl2021 49 days 👀😲😳 don't tell me that! I'm used to 22 🤣
I'll be such a stroppy cow if it goes on longer and longer! 🙈
Haha we do love a test! Are you feeling optimistic this month when it comes to testing? Xx

@Confused678866 yes it was a shocker for me too! Was convinced I was pregnant as I was so late then as time went on and the bfns came I was pissed off and wanted af so badly! Drove me crazy! I'm sure that won't happen to you. Part of me is optimistic as ovulation was back were it should be but then on the other hand it's taken this long now so probably won't happen 🤣🙈 bit mixed ATM x

@Skl2021 Oh gosh I'd have been so frustrated too!! I really hope mine isn't that long 👀😂
It's good that you ovulated earlier though so your cycles aren't as long. Well fingers crossed for you, one of us needs to get a BFP!! 😂 xx

@Confused678866 don't want to get my hopes up tho. Messes with your head so much this ttc. Wish I was laid back and didn't know my dates as I want to fast forward to testing now. How do u get round this?! Maybe I need a hobby 🤣🙈 suppose your hands are a bit more fuller with a toddler to keep you occupied x

@Skl2021 Yes it really does mess with your head! Because I fell pregnant first cycle last time, I really underestimated how long it can really take and how stressful it can be! Haha yes try and find a new hobby 🤣 I must admit, now I'm back in the office and not working from home, it does help me because I don't have as much time to think about it xx

@Confused678866 yes part of me wishes I started ttc this one sooner as I wanted a 2021 baby so that's not going to happen now. Presumed like you it would happen first time again 🤣 how wrong were we! Took me so long to decide to have another now by the time it happens I will have changed my mind back 🙈 might have to take an opk at this rate! Doing my head in. Have u tried an opk? 🙊 X
