UK SMOG Wannabes - November (moved from PL)

Gosh this is an early one ladies but dh just about to leave for work and am really hoping I have done the right thing! Forgot to wake up in the night to check cervix so hope nothing happened then that I don't realise about! Just checked it now and still low and quite firm. Not a lot of cm but what there is is still stretchy. We didn't dtd mainly because my opks are still very dark. Not + dark but only a shade off that. So I'm convinced my surge is still pretty strong and that I cant have ov. What do you reckon? Should we have dtd?

Morning deaks! I dont think it's too late for you yet! :)

Pinga ~ welcome hun, glad to see you made it over! :)

Maybebaby ~ wishing you lots of luck for today! I’m wearing pink for you and I’ll be stalking this thread for an update! Enjoy seeing your baby on the screen! :)

Inglewood ~ Oh no i’m so sorry to hear about the breast abscess! I developed a severe breast abscess after ds1 was born which i needed to have surgery for. They managed to drain out 60ml of pus and i was on antibiotics for nearly 2 months so please make sure to keep a close eye on your breast abscess so that it doesn’t get worse! Hope you feel better soon! Btw LOVE your scan pictures, especially the one where you see the babies lying next to each other! So cute!

Charliespy ~ I hope it goes well for your sister tomorrow. What a tricky situation you’re in.. i completely understand why you don’t want to tell her yet, but at the same time want to tell her.. if i was you i would probably tell her before she goes ahead with the termination because she might be struggling with feelings of guilt and regret for some time afterwards (or she might not) and the news that you’re expecting might potentially hit her hard iyswim? Good luck whatever you decide to do!

Zanacal ~ haha i know, these ladies certainky know how to talk! i’ve been active on smog for a year now and it still surprises me when i log on and i have 10 new pages to read through lol :D How’s the pregnancy treating you? :)

2monkeys ~ nice to hear from you hun!

AFM we had a horrible night last night! DH got such an allergic reaction to the cats that he had to go to hospital we’re they gave him all sort of drugs to widen his airways. In the end he had to stay overnight so im waiting to hear from him now. I’ve also had to sort other sleeping arrangements for us this morning so i’ve been a busy bee who’s operating on autopilot as i’ve only had 4,5 hours of sleep last night *zZz*

Hello to everyone else! Indigoviolet, Babymad, Maybepink3, Onemore, Karo, Wishing4pink, Threelittlemen, Lavenderlime, Deaks and anyone else i might have missed! :heart:

Thanks sunset, just hoping tonight isn't too late either! Getting some cramps now so going to see what cervix is doing in a bit. Your poor dh, like I said on fb, such a shame at the start if your hols. Hope you hear from him soon and he can be discharged today. Where will you stay? I guess removing the cats wouldn't work as their hair would still be about.

Hi pinga, glad you found us!

Maybe, good luck today Hun, thinking of you. Bet you are so nervous!

Charlie, I'm tempted to agree with sunset about your sis as if she knew you were pg, she might feel differently about her own situation. Even if she doesn't, it might hit her less hard before the procedure than after. Tricky.

Inglewood, how are you today? Hope not it lots of pain. I have suffered with mastitis badly as I had breast surgery and one of them doesn't drain on it's own. Horrific, so I really feel for you!

hiya pinga, glad we didnt leave you behind xxx

morning everyone else

Fx crossed for you mabey altho you will already know what flavour baby is!!! ohhhhh exciting!!!!!

Morning all, just a quick one as I'm having such a slow start today and still have so many jobs to do. Like the never ending washing pile. I'm great at getting it washed and dried it's just the putting away bit!

Sunset your poor DP!!! I hope you get some rest too today as you must be exhausted. Thank you for your reply I'll PM back Asap.

Maybe thinking of you!

Deaks I still think you've got a really good shot this month! and I'm sure lots of people miss the actual start of their peak and go from the first + OPK of the morning, also I think you have to think you may ov 26, 28, 30 etc hours after first opk espcially as you usually have a long surge anyway and not worry too much about ov being 24 hours after first + OPK as that's just an average. I hope you have a great attempt this afternoon/evening do you have everything ready? I hope you have a nice chilled and calm day today.

Hi Pinga!

Thanks lavender, i think i have everything ready. tbh, im not going to fiddle about with things much so hopefully just get dh to point of no return, dtd, prop hips slightly, 5mins later do douche and then keep checking ph every 30 mins. Still getting cramps and cm was ew/creamy with ph 5.8 so glad we didn't dtd this morning! Its so easy to feel rushed and really hard to wait. Cervix feels softer but not high but trying not to read much into that. How are you? you didn't attempt this cycle didi you? just saw u r 9dpo on your ticker.

glad youve got thing ready and feel confident this month!!!! FX for a successfull attempt!! xxxx

GL Maybe!! Hope you hear pink hun xx

Sunset ~ How awful, hope your DH is better now x

Deaks ~ Hope it all to plan! :)

Attempting to venture out this afternoon...!!
