Eek I've been in a rubbish mood all day

No nap for dd today as she refused to go to bed. Then crapy mood all afternoon, almost asleep at dinner time. Then melt down at bedtime.

More tears once she finally went to sleep. Bloody hormones.

 

[Pusscat]

Oh no Did she go to sleep reasonably quickly? Hope you're having a relaxing evening. It must be so difficult when both you and dd are feeling emotional! Are you looking forward to you scan tomorrow?

 

[smawfl]

I ended up lying next to her and she fell asleep quite quick. Not sure what to do. What time does your dd usually nap?

Nervous for scan,think that's why I've been a bit emotional too.

 

[Pusscat]

If possible I try not to let her nap any more. She only naps in the car now. I find she can cope most days without a nap and it ensures she's tired enough to go to sleep quickly at bed time. She took 40 minutes to go to sleep tonight because she had a late nap in the car when we went to the station to pick up grandma and then was incredibly excitable once we got home because grandma is staying the night. She was dancing and drumming along to the Edinburgh drumming thing before bed

Haha you ladies make for some fun reading. I would cry over food now and I'm not pregnant. Still BFIng though which makes me hungrier than ever before in my life lol.

Pusscat im so excited for you, that's a great looking chart! I have a good feeling!

Smawfl, wow over 12 weeks already!

You ladies are giving me serious TTC envy...but now is NOT a good time for us My union is on strike and has been since June, I'm flat broke but still looking for childcare which is also stressing me out...ugh not a fun time over here!

 

[smawfl]

Sorry it's a tough time Gaia, how many days did you go back to work?

I see your wtt ticker, I bet that will come round sooner than you think and perhaps your circumstances may change between now and then to bring ttc earlier. Would be lovely to be bump or baby buddies again.

How's the temp this morning pusscat?

Scan day today. Scared!

 

[smawfl]

Scan went well,baby wriggling all over the place! Measuring 13+4 so EDD is now 27th February!

 

[Pusscat]

Aw, lovely scan photo smawfl. Glad all us well with baby. What was your previous edd? Wow, a February baby, potentially That doesn't seem very far away!

Temp still on same higher level as yesterday. Gas has been so much it was uncomfortable this afternoon! Feel better now I'm home and can relax, if you know what I mean!!!! Really hope I can blame it on pregnancy! Felt a bit crampy his afternoon but may have been down to build up of gas!

Gaia, hope things sort themselves out in the education system where you are. That's not good if it's having such a financial impact on you.

Had my fist day back at school today, no children in but so much to get done and I'm exhausted now. And still got some planning to do this evening The holidays are well and truly over.

 

[Pusscat]

These definitely aren't gas cramps! I've had dull back ache cramps for a few hours now. Hopefully good sign. 6 dpo would be about right timing for implantation wouldn't it? If not then AF is on her way. Tomorrow's temp should give some clue..

 

[smawfl]

Previous EDD based on LMP dates was 4th March. Based on OV I reckon will be 2nd March.

Sorry for the uncomfortable gas.. but I'm taking it as a good sign Cramping in early pregnancy is common, fingers crossed!!
6 DPO is great for implantation.. did you feel or get any implantation signs last time? Last time, and this time I had a temp dip I think.

 

[Pusscat]

Last month I had a temp dip but hard to know if it was implantation because I wasn't sure when I ovulated and could have been something going wrong. So a dip in temperature could be a good sign tomorrow. Or a bad sign! I'll try not to read too much into it. Hopefully they just stay high. First time round i didnt have a dip. The cramps have stopped now I've had a nice long sit down.

 

[Pusscat]

Temp went down to previous high level today. I think if AF was on her way it would have gone below cover line? The urge to poas is taking hold!

 

[smawfl]

Hmmm..7DPo is a bit too early yet... What tests do you have left?

 

[Pusscat]

I'm not testing today. I've had a positive at 8dpo and if I wasn't at work tomorrow I would have tested tomorrow. I'm at work on Friday as well. The sensible option is to wait until the weekend and test for a clear result at 10 dpo. FF predicts AF on Friday so I would be late on Saturday. My cycle hasn't been normal though so I'm not really sure when AF would show. If I get a positive I know I'm going to be nervous for mc happening again. So I should really wait as long as possible so that worry doesn't start too soon! I've got 3 FRERs and loads of ics which I have no faith in!

 

[smawfl]

Yes I agree, i'd try and wait for the weekend if you can.

 

[smawfl]

Pusscat, I'm itching for you to test! How's the temp today, and how have you been feeling? I guess being back at work helps avoid overly symptom spotting!

 

[Pusscat]

Yes it's certainly helping. Definitely would have tested if I'd been at home. Temps looking good, still high. Felt sick this morning but might just have been down to the early morning! Had sore throat last night but may have been down to being back around germy children! Gas seems to have subsided. I'm going to be nervous to test tomorrow. I'm glad I've held out though.

 

[smawfl]

Don't be nervous.. think positive. BF Positive to be exact!

Interesting statistics! Wondering whether to test tonight because I know I'm not going to sleep well waiting to test in the morning....

 

[smawfl]

Sorry only just got home to see this. Did you test??
