ladies, how important do you think the post bd douche is? cant decide what to do if anything after my o+12! really dont want to do a large amount 1-3ml but not sure its worth doing a small amount of douche or acigel either. hmmm decisions!

Hard to say Deaks, best to go with your preference, I douched with ds3 but it does work for lots of people so go with whats right for you. GL x
Hardly had any sleep last night and been at work all day so feel dreadful, wish it would get easier :(
BABYMAD - Sorry your still feeling ill. I am back on the tiredness and heartburn stage - blurrgghh!!! Was falling asleep at work today. My team lead asked how I was, so I told her and she didn't reply (why ask? when my blood boils due to stress I am off work anyway to be admitted to hospital). I could do with time off, feel pooped!
Tried not eat extra today but have decided that nots going to work as I need to keep my energy up. No point putting on the lowest amount of baby fat just to crash on the way home! I dearn't check my emails in case MIL emails me. I think I will say to her that no one else has said I am big, but that probably as its rude to say and most people are too polite - unlike her...
haha! Still in a bad mood. This one might last a while I think
Gosh think you need a break maybe! Could you possibly take a couple of days holiday to re energise?
Deaks, maybe just test it out with a douche, I wouldn't have been able to
Use them as I am prone to bv, but I would have used represh to keep my ph constant! Do what you thinks best for your body!
I agree with Kell, take a few days off Maybe and have a rest. Just ignore your MIL, that will annoy her more! I wish my body liked being pg, its so hard, being a working mum of 3 being so bloody sick but I know it will be worth it so focusing on the end result!!
Babymad, sorry you are feeling rough. Was the lack of sleep ds's related or pg related? It will definately be worth it in the end :)
Maybe, you really sound like you are going through it at the moment. I definately dont think you should not eat as that will make you feel rubbish... and avoiding the emails from MIL definately worth while if she hasnt got anything friendly to say.
Lack of sleep is pg related Deaks, I really wish I had something positive to say but my body really doesn't like being pg :( I've always felt quite cheated that I cant enjoy being pg like others do. it's such a special thing after all. I can't get to sleep for ages then I always wake about 5am and struggle to get back to sleep, had the same with my other pg's so shouldn't be surprised!
GL with your attempt tonight, has the shift in cm happened? Hope all goes well. :)
Hope everyone else is ok :)
Poor you babymad! i also do not enjoy pg like other ladies do. With ds2 i felt like i couldnt breathe properly for 4 months which made me really panicky. I wander if there's anything you can do/take to help you sleep...something herbal maybe?
Think the shift is slowly happening. Not got as much ewcm which is good though it means im struggling to test my ph as a small blob never gives me as low a reading as a big amount! My opk went neg sometime between 1pm and 6pm so im wandering if this side of midnight might be a bit early. Gonna keep monitoring and avoid testing ph til 9pm and hope i have a big enough amount then. Last cycle i dtd 40hrs after i first noticed +opk (and that was a quick ovulation by my standards) so 40hrs this time would be 4am tomorrow. Gonna aim for more like 36hrs which would be midnight bding!
Good luck deaks x
Good luck Deaks!!
still missing that 'like' button, I need it ALL the time!Quote:

Most of us are already on the list, if you want to be included just give me a shout, the more the merrier!
TLM- I'm sure you are in, do you want to write a little note about the kind of colours, shop, style you like to help your secret santa?
Chocolate, Karo, Kell, Maybepink3, 2monkeys, Petal, ILP, are you interested? Obviously no pressure at all, just don't want anyone to get left out! :)
Thanks for all the luck! X
Well the af is here!!! And confirms another 9 day lp .......... have posted a thread for advice, but does anyone know anything about LP defects and what treatment is available? Particularly by UK doctor guidelines?
So here is CD1 eek!!
PS - sorry Im out for Secret Santa, thanks though xx
good luck hun x
huge hugs to the pregnant ladies suffering :( babymad - hope you manage to get some rest although i know with 3 boys that pretty impossible x
maybe - 2lbs is nothing to put on some people put that on each week x ignore MIL and buy yourself a treat for all your hardwork!!
EEeeeeeeeeeeeekkk for secret santa although at the mo my present may not be top quality the way i am feeling :S
chocolate, i am on progesterone crinone for my lp defect. It is a cream in an applicator that you insert into the vagina. I find it best to insert at bedtime as then it doesnt leak out (i tried using it in the morning and it was disgusting!) and by the time the morning comes, pretty much all of it has been absorbed. You have to clear the remnants out of your vg every few days but again this is a small price to pay for a lp that goes from 9 to 13 days! hope that helps. I went to my docs and said i had been charting for months and said i have an lp defect and that i had heard progesterone helps. They didnt seem to query me at all. Annoyingly i forgot to take mine last mine :(
Still waiting for dh to get home to bd! This is when swaying becomes stressful!
Yep, the pressure!! Run a nice boiling hot bath lol, then get out some lavender oil/lotion and give each other a massage to chill out :-)
Good luck tonight Deaks!
Chocolate go to the doctors hun there's plenty they can do for short lp!
I'm going to give secret Santa a miss this time, sorry! We are pretty much scraping pennies this month after dp spending grr! And I am about as useful at making things as a chocolate fire guard!
My boobs are actually killing me! And they have grown huge amounts! I love the bigness not so sure about the pain!
Good luck deaks x
Thanks so much for that info, Id have no idea! So how do you clean it out lol? Do you think the suppositories are better than the cream you can rub into the skin? How long would you continue using it for?Quote:

Charliespy ~ still suffering? :( the first trimester really is dreadful isn't it.. ((HUGS))
Inglewood ~ How are you doing in your pregnancy? is the MS gone?
I'm busy revising for my theory test these days which is booked for monday next week :p eek! wish me luck ladies! :D
yes - still sufffering i said to DH today I just pray everything goes ok with this baby as I dont think I could do this again EVER although today is the first day in 2 and a half weeks i have had 3 meals!! Usually its nothing near but then I am now worried that I should still be sick...silly i know x also constipated as I cant drink anything either sexy times!
Really struggling to keep my 2 boys entertained while I just want to lie on the couch and feel sorry for myself. I feel like such a bad mother when I keep resorting to the TV! Its just not good to watch so much TV!! Eeek don't know how those of you with 3 boys are managing!
Seems like quite a few sick people on here at the moment. I can't remember when it usually stops for me... :P
Deaks - hope attempt went well...
Money is such a pain at this time of year. We're coming up to 6 weeks of school holidays so I won't be earning for a while! The only problem with emergency teaching!! We're hoping to get down to the beach for a week in January. Might consider camping...
Anyhews - bye for now...
Hi all,
Hope you are all well and the morning sickness coming to an end for you babymad and charlie!
Aww your little baby looks perfect babymad, bet your lovely boys are thrilled!! My first instinct says girl too :-)) that dark line looks like the nub but not too clear.
We are all doing well, bf going ok, bit sore but trying to carry on. Baby O is such a good little boy, from the moment he was born our bond was just instant, i feel sooooo guilty for all those bad feelings i had when i found out he was a boy, i just love him soo much :-))
Will try and pop on here more often lol. How are the twins doing inglewood?
Love to you all x x
Ps, ill give the secret santa a miss this time, sorry to be a party pooper but id probably forget to get something, its taken me over a week to post some ebay stuff i sold lol x x
Good Luck sunset i'm sure you'll do really well on the theory test, have you been practicing on the computer with one of those disks?
Charlie yay for the three meals! How about wheatabix if you can stomach it for a fibre boost?
Pinga sorry you still aren't feeling great, My boys hardly watch any TV at all in summer as they are always outside but in winter they end up watching quite a lot and DVD's because of the weather and early evenings and general winter hybernating. Don't know what i'd do without it, it means I can actually get the house work done and cook dinner etc! Don't feel bad.
Chocolate not long until TTC exciting!! Hope you get some help from the Dr's r.e LP.
Awww petal do glad your little man is good! Don't feel guilty about your dissapointment your motherly love right now more than makes up for a small wobble!
I have to agree with lavender on the telly thing, Pinga if your boys are anything like mine even if the tv is on they are not necessarily watching it, they tend to play with toys and watch inbetween fighting with action figures!
I've got an appointment with the doctor Friday and then get to book in for my booking appointment with the mw! I'm thinking about joining sw now as well, but I'll speak to them about it first!
Deaks - got my fx that this month is your month, good luck
Good luck with your test Sunset!
So sorry you pregnant ladies (charlie, babymad, pinga) are feeling rubbish still. I really hope this stage passes soon for you all. Good luck to those who are also attempting soon
x
Nice to hear from you Petal!
Sorry to hear BF is sore I did a BF course after DS1 to become a bossom buddy and learnt that normally this is down to positioning and latch.
The basics that can really help to remember when latching on is tummy to tummy, nipple to nose and to wait until they route and open their mouth really wide before allowing them latching on.
I hope you are getting some support from your midwife, it's worth asking for them to check for tongue tie if they haven't already. So lovely to hear about the newborn love!! How do your boys like their little brother!?

I think the crinone is supposed to be better than the prog cream you can buy online because it is stronger and works immediately. And its supposed to be better than the suppositories that you can get on prescription as its less messy. You use it everyday starting a couple of days after ov (to be sure ov is over) until either af arrives or if bfp (fx!) arrives you use it for whole first trimester i believe. Im pretty sure its fine to use alongside the supps you mentioned but worth double cheacking with a doctor. GL!
Petal, so lovely to hear from you, i just love that immediate bond with a baby! But like lavender said i hope you are getting good support from your mw!
I did my attempt at about 11.30 last night. Just a straightforward abstinance of 9 days and o+12 with zyrtec a couple of hours before and slight propping of hips after. i didnt bother with any lime or acigel but my ph has been quite low throughout ov and although i didnt have much to test at the time, the tiny glob i could get was ph 5 which usually means for me that my ph (if i could get a bigger amount to test) would have been low 4's. I had a tingley feeling around my ovaries for the hour afterwards and really felt like i had caught the egg....FX!!!! My temp was massively up this morning so hoping i got my timing just right. Was 36 hours after first opk. PLEASE PLEASE LET THIS BE MY MONTH!!!
Thanks Deaks, so did you get prescribed the crinone or did you buy it? Id rather get something from the dr incase I need to go back to them for extra help/advice, they may get a bit annoyed if I just buy something to use instead of following their advice.Quote:

PS- sounds like a great attempt! Fingers crossed
Petal, glad your so in love with your baby, thats what I felt like with DS2 after feeling a bit deflated in pregnancy after hearing 'boy' but so glad in the end I just had so much love for him. Now I can relax next pregnancy knowing the bond will come regardless of gender.
Petal ~ it's so lovely to hear from you! i was actually thinking of you this morning and wondering how you're enjoying the baby days :) and i agree with Kell, you shouldn't feel guilty for how you felt when you first found out, all that matters is how you feel now :)
Deaks ~ glad your attempt went well, and it sounds like you got the perfect timing :) good luck in the 2ww! i've got my fx for you!!
Charliespy ~ fx you start to feel better soon!!
Pinga ~ don't feel guilty for letting your boys watch tv, your MS won't last forever and soon you'll all be back to doing fun stuff :)
Lavenderlime ~ I lied, my theory test is not on monday but on wednesday next week :p i got it confused with a growth scan i've got on monday.. yes i've got the disk which is brilliant! :) I do feel ready for my test so hopefully i should pass first time :)
AFM i had a midwife appointment this morning which went great. My baby is measuring ahead which has never happened to me before, but my midwife reassured me it can fluctuate :) i really don't want to push out a "big" baby lol
I was prescribed the crinone as i too felt like i wanted soemthing from the dr incase i needed help or advice. Its also a REALLY expensive medication so to purchase it online would cost a fortune each month!Quote:

Beginning to feel like i dtd too early last night as my temp seems low again, but then i know i shouldnt compare temps at different times. Its hard as i always wake it a bit overly cosy in my bed but i suppose if thats always the case then its still consistent. The thing thats annoying me is my cervix feels slightly soft again but i guess again that these things vary. I was sure if had gone from soft to firm last night. Cm is definately creamy now so im hoping its just my body playing silly tricks and that my attempt was ok. At least my ph has been lowish through ov do for the first time i can say that timing shouldnt matter as much!
lol lavender just reading weetabix made me heave i dont do cereal as i hate milk!! (can only drink it in a milkshake or latte!!)
I got butterflies straight after DTD and knew we had done it x hope this is the same for you :DQuote:
