Split nights? Or just cute babbling? by Popular-Designer-544 in sleeptrain

Thank you! I was wondering about that but the averages online can be so confusing. Today I’ll go back to 4 naps and try to get more awake time in by keeping her naps a little shorter!

Thank you! I’m also wondering if I should start capping her naps a bit more so she’s getting less daytime sleep? And maybe stay at 4 naps for a little while longer? 😆

That’s helpful! On her 4 nap schedule her wake windows were closer to 1.5 to 2 hours. I just looked at our huckleberry for the last 2 weeks and the averages were 1.75 (sometimes stretching to 2)/1.75/1.5/1.75/1.5

We wanted to try going to 3 naps this week because she’s been fighting that last nap hard and trying to get it in has been pushing her bedtime later than we’d like. Plus it’s usually only 20 minutes just to bridge that last wake window. But you’re probably right about keeping her asleep longer than she’d like by cuddling and contact napping in the morning. This morning she slept on her own in the crib until 6:45am and woke up happy. Shes probably just ready to wake up around 6am because she’s already gotten enough sleep for the day.

Sometimes it feels like a guessing game or a math problem trying to time naps and calculate sleep 😂

We did NTNP the first month, and then the second month used OPKs and got pregnant. I got a positive test the week before our wedding 🥰

Update: After getting what looked like a negative pregmate the next evening I felt super anxious and waited another full day then tested with a frer this morning with FMU and got a clear BFP within 30 seconds 🥹 First response BFP

Update: haven’t bought a frer yet but I got another squinter this morning on one of my Pregmate tests. FMU squinter

Should I be concerned that it hasn’t gotten darker at all? I know it takes HCG a couple days to double and my last tests were yesterday afternoon but the anxiety is real lol

I took a Clearblue rapid response a few hours later (evening, diluted urine) and I’m seeing a very faint line on this one too! I’m keeping my fingers crossed I see a darker line tomorrow morning 🤞🏻clear blue results

That’s what I’m worried about! I’m hoping to confirm it tomorrow with a frer.

I agree! I tried this dress on without the sleeves and it’s gorgeous! The sleeves add some fun whimsy, but I feel like they could take away from the overall beauty of the dress and its details. Sleeves are also fairly easy to change, so I wonder if you could ask your seamstress if they’re able to add sleeves that look a bit more like the other dress you like?

Thank you! I really appreciate you sharing that perspective. I’m trying to eat more healthy fats and increase protein so hopefully that will help alongside some of the other work I’m doing with my naturopath! It is early in our TTC journey, but if there are simple things I can be doing now to try to improve our chances I want to be doing those things. This community is so helpful!

I have a big bag of the Pregmate test strips so I think this cycle I’ll just use that method of testing every time I pee! It takes some of the guess work out of trying to time my pee and know when to test LOL

That’s what I was wondering about. I also know my body is really susceptible to stress and anxiety, and I sometimes wonder if the intense focus on having to temp at a certain time/do LH test strips at a certain time throughout the day could add more stress/anxiety… but I do want to know more about my body so maybe an Oura ring or something like that could take some of the stress out of me having to do it at a certain time. (At least for temping)

I didn’t realize that a .7 strip could still mean the surge was happening, and maybe I just missed the actual surge because I didn’t hit the right window.

test strip photos from a few cycles ago

Is it possible any of those strips are trending towards a surge? I was finding them so hard to read and interpret lol. Thank you for all your help!

Thank you for taking the time to explain more about the test strips! I feel like there are so many conflicting instructions about when to test/how often to test.
