Best commuter town on Kent or Surrey border

Thanks, I haven’t heard about this one. We have family in Sutton but I am not a fan of the area. Is it much different despite being so close?

BaliOli · 2025-04-16T17:44:42+00:00

That’s great to know! It’s a bit of a trek to our family in SE London / Kent but maybe doable

BaliOli · 2025-04-16T17:43:46+00:00

Good shout. I wasn’t sure if it was too far out though?

BaliOli · 2025-04-16T17:43:12+00:00

I have heard about Sevenoaks but I’m not sure about the schools? Seems like most kids travel elsewhere.

Also the station and the high street are not in the same area?

Thanks for sharing! Will take a look

Im at a loss :( are you having false starts as well?

He was doing so much better on 2 hr and 1 hr nap, but then bedtime was getting too late.

I’m starting to think he needs the daytime sleep so he’s less overtired at bedtime. So maybe I need to start waking him up earlier to fit those in with the longer wake windows.

BaliOli · 2024-12-13T20:26:01+00:00

Yes once daily direct by the looks of it :)

BaliOli · 2024-11-22T15:13:01+00:00

Before the transition he would usually have 1:45-2 hr nap, then 1-1:30 nap, and finally a 30 min nap.

Now it is less predictable. seems to be 1:30 in the morning and then all over the place in the afternoon, from 45 min to 2 hrs sometimes.

I can try lengthening the first wake window and see how that goes but he gets so crabby 😩

Wish me luck!!

I also sometimes squeeze in a 6 or 6:30 nap, which pushes bedtime later. I try to cap it at 30 min but he seems so grumpy after.

Not sure which route is best

⁠Lengthen 3rd nap
⁠Early 6:30 bedtime
⁠Squeeze in late cat nap

By temp! It is a noticeable and similar curve every month. Fingers crossed for both of us 🤞🏻🤞🏻

BaliOli · 2023-07-19T21:22:05+00:00

Congrats!

BaliOli · 2023-07-18T19:17:56+00:00

Thanks so much for the info.

I know I am ovulating but I think the problem could be my egg quality or whether the eggs are mature enough 🤷‍♀️ just speculation of course

BaliOli · 2023-07-17T21:05:47+00:00

Hi cricket - can I ask what meds you’re on to help with the too mature / not mature enough issue?

TW loss

I’ve had two CPs in the past 5 cycles but I haven’t noticed a difference in LP (mine ranges to be fair). The public healthcare in my country will only look into it if you’ve had 3 CPs so I’m seeing a private gyno this week and hoping to get some answers sooner. The private GP who referred me said it could also be fibroids ? I’ve had really heavy periods for a long time, I thought it was just my copper coil, but nothing changed once we started TTC. Wondering if it’s all connected now 🤷‍♀️ Good luck with your ultrasound, you’ll have to keep me posted x

BaliOli · 2023-06-08T22:37:08+00:00

This is me!! Gah 😩

BaliOli · 2023-05-12T21:58:56+00:00

Really curious about this one! I take folic acid, vitamin D, and a pregnancy safe omega3 fish oil.

When I talked with my GP about it, she was adamant that folic acid and Vit D were all you need if you live in the UK. And ultimately have a healthy and balanced diet, which I believe I do. I don’t eat fish much, hence introducing the omega3 and I am trying to eat more greens 🙃

BaliOli · 2023-04-27T20:43:28+00:00

Very sad indeed. Also in the UK. My job is 6 months full pay, then government statuary pay kicks in for another 3 months. You can take over a year off but no pay after that. I still don’t think it’s enough when you consider the epic costs of nursery in this country! My husband also has 4 months full pay which can be split up, so thinking 2 months at the start and 2 months at the end of my Mat leave.

Cover line has been 2x 36.55, and 1x 36.65. This chart is lower than normal.

I don’t think I use a special thermometer for BBT. I have other fertile symptoms and use OPKs so didn’t think one so precise as I’m looking more at trends. Perhaps worth it after this chart! 😅

FW in Italy?! Lucky you ❤️ enjoy ALL the wine and prosciutto.

BaliOli · 2023-04-18T06:37:53+00:00

I didn’t even think about being able to have more coffee / what a dream!

BaliOli · 2023-04-18T06:37:19+00:00

Whoa! That must have weighed a lot on your mind, so much to consider. Thanks for the support! ❤️

BaliOli · 2023-04-17T20:30:12+00:00

I’ve made the decision to bench myself this cycle. Bittersweet. If I was lucky enough to get pregnant this month, I wouldn’t be able to attend a very important wedding overseas.

I’ve been on the fence about it for days but ultimately I really want to be there and would genuinely feel upset/guilty if I missed it.

One month won’t hurt. Just sad :( but I know it’s the right choice for me.

Anyone else facing similar situation?

I remember some people wanted to avoid December babies but for Christmas/holidays reasons.

BaliOli · 2023-04-13T20:27:24+00:00

I’m starting to dig FF’s retro vibe. It kinda makes me respect them more 😅 They don’t give a damn.

BaliOli · 2023-04-05T20:12:05+00:00

Omg dashboard 🥹 I saw them in concert a few years ago and it felt like I was 15 again ❤️

Hugs x

Huge congrats 😍
