UK SMOG Wannabes ~ December

Charlie- that sounds like a good plan, if in doubt, don't go in, you have to do what is right for you and the baby.

Indy sounds so cute but yes, just like my little one,SUCH a monkey and nothing like his older brother. I'm just not used to having to watch him all the time (ds1 was just so 'sensible'!), he was eating chalk this morning and emptying baskets, climbing on the kitchen surface (from a little stool), chewing christmas decorations....the list goes on. he's having a nap now thank goodness!

No bfp not sunk in at all! Dh only home yesterday so we have been talking about it a lot, our house is pretty small as is our car so we're going to have to make changes (if sticky bean fx). Obviously havn't told anyone, I love having a secret like this!

Lavender- loving your new ticker! Praying this is your month!! What is your plan/ attempt?

Deaks so sorry your going through this. Don't take aspirin with cranberry I am on aspirin and have to stop by 36 weeks or risk losing too blood in labour. Ask your doc to refer you to the fertily clinic.

Wishing hope your ok now? How scary. Also Charlie I hope you can relax this week. My work wouldn't take care of me and the feeling is mutual when I felt worn out I didn't go in as I knew they would pile on the pressure regarless of my pg.

Dh is getting on my wick again. Supposed to have quit smoking but he was at ruby all day yesterday with his cousin. I thought he had started again so I said to his cousin that dh didn't quit for long. Basically got his cousin to confirm it without asking him outright. Told dh I was pissed and he said it was only one day. But non smokers don't smoke! Also my sister is buying me my pram now. He can buy iTunes tags and DVDs on his credit card and never thinks about how the rest of us go without. Worst thing is he never learns and always defends his actions. Where as I save and work hard and go without so the kids are ok. I think I am beginning to hate him. After 20 years I no longer like him and mostly wish I had never met him.

Oh maybe I actually felt this way about my DP over the Summer. We have only been together 7 years but he was doing my head in always working, his normal hours overtime and weekends. Not spending enough time with the boys unless it was when he had to watch them because I was working evenings. Not pulling his weight around the house etc. etc. every little thing that he did wrong just added to this resentment I was building up and we hardly talked. I actually wanted to leave him and was prepared to but My MIL made us try and work at it and talk it out and we did and actually hating someone and telling them that was such a big relief. And just getting that out and letting him know how I felt was such a weight off my shoulders and once that was in the open it made it much easier. DP still works alot but asks first to see if it's ok and we make more of an effort to do stuff together these days and have more of a laugh. I feel so much better now about our whole relationship and feel much stronger for it.

I hope you will be able to talk and things through with him. Actually telling him how he is making you feel towards him and not how you feel about his actions may be the shock that is needed for him to change some of the behaviour that is really upsetting you. Big hugs x

Thank you Indigo!
You now get to choose a Pregnancy ticker! I can't wait until I can graduate onto one of those! :)

Well I'm getting DP to abstain from day 7 of my cycle so that should be for 8 days+ depending on O being on CD 15 or maybe later with my cycles out of whack.

I'm going to use rePHresh and a one shot O+12 attempt. Think that's about it!

I 'm also going to drinks very concentrated crystal light and cranberry juice between cycle day 8 and O. as well as usual IG diet and all my regular sups.
Also DP is off work for a couple of weeks from the 16th so that makes the whole O+12 thing so much easier hopefully :).

Deaks I really hope you aren't out so sorry you are feeling so low I have everything crossed for a sticky bean. x

Oh god maybe, could it be hormone related hate? I get why you feel so frustrated tho, it's not fair that the saving is only one sided!

Thanks maybe and so sorry you are going through such a hard time with dh...hope you can work through it as lavender says but men can be very stubborn at times can't they.

Lavender can I ask do you worry that rephresh will mask ov symptoms and so make o+12 harder to pinpoint?

Well to be honest i've never actually tried to accurately pinpoint O as I don't temp, never really looked into checking my cervix or really tried.

I'm just going to go for 36 hours after first OPK really. I think rephresh will keep my ph at a constant low level and instantly react with dP's sperm as it makes contact with the rePHresh.

Quite relaxed about my O+12 as It what makes most sense to me timing wise, but to me timing is really the least important factor and hardest to control. So just going to do my best by trying to lower the amount of overall sperm from dp abstaining and make the conditions as girl friendly pH wise as possible and just hope a little X gets to the egg first and in time!

Keep getting double posts?????????

Deaks, hope thing are ok? Was nightshift last night, so just catching up. I still got some ewcm with the acidophilus, but not as thick and 'blobby' lol My Dh took 2 liq root a day as I read it sways girl, so FX on the 13th I'm praising it!!

Charlie, glad ur taking it a bit easier, my bump pain wasn't as bad and my workmates were great about it, I didn't move a single patient that was too heavy.

Maybe, sorry to hear ur Dh is 'mis-behaving' with his credit card again! Prob have said b4, but my Dh and I were so close to a split about 2-3yrs ago and went to relate couple counselling, it was so good and helped Dh realise he's alot more selfish than he thought he was! He's a hands on dad and great with housework etc.... no complaints there and he gives me all his wages in our joint acct, just take his cig money on a friday for the week, but a grumpy, moody guy, little emotion and not a romantic bone in is body!! Was only a £10-20 donation each visit, whatever we could afford that wk.

Wishing, hope ur better today?

Lavender, LOVE ur xmas ticker!!

Hope everyone else is ok? off to make tea, dh wall papering, my mum has boys at cinema to see Arthur Christmas and I'm not long out my bed!!! Spk later. x
