Deaks, hang on in there. I had incredible back ache a few days before I found out. Keeping everything crossed for you that you get 2 stronger lines tomorrow x
Congrats Deaks... Hoping your lines get darker and darker..been thinking of you after your experience last month :) Fingers crossed for you!!
Deaks I hope the morning brings you good news. Night all x
Definately only a hint of a line today that you have to squint at to see. Better get the roll call updated to deaks ttc....again. This is a pretty depressing situation to be in again but I will get to the bottom of it. Gonna head to the docs tomorrow and relax the diet/supps. Also what do you ladies think of the following?
If i take baby aspirin am I right in thinking I should not take the cranberry?
Also do you think if would be ok to either drink lots of milk each day OR take the calcium supps.... Which would be best? Whatever I do I want to stay consistent but I just don't want to be doing everything anymore.
Thinking of making sure my o+12 is no later than 36hrs after +opk and even bd nearer to ov and putting dh on the liq. Root again as he didn't take this this time and I still had chemical. Have heard it makes most swimmers female...what do you reckon?
Lastly Tamara reckons its very rare to have ewcm with low ph but I'm sure that is what the acidiphilus has done for me...has anyone else experienced this and do you think it gives male or female swimmers the advantage?
Sorry for all the questions, just want to get things sorted in my head.
Hope you are all doing well X
Sorry Deaks I don't know the answers, wish I could help!
Thinking of you! I hope this is not the end of this pregnancy and that af doesn't arrive x
Gosh deaks, this situation is so so stressful and horrible for you. Remember you are still not out and there is HOPE.
Will be praying hon:HH: Really hope this all ends with a positive outcome.
charlie- how are you doing today? :pray: for you too
Oh deaks - i really hope your bean sticks - are you using exactly the same type of tests and urine?? Also HCG takes 48 to double I tested everyday till i had no tests left and some days didnt see it get any darker from the day before x I am keeping everything crossed for you x x
Love to all you ladies - thank you for thinking of me - I sat on my arse as much as i could with ds3 being the PITA that he is right now (love him but he is HARD work scaling every object possible and at the stage where emptying anything and everything out just because) Mum took the older boys overnight and DH let me lie in am as of this morning no spotting - fear it will return if i go to work tomorrow though but i feel bad phoning in sick :( I have MW tomorrow afternoon so will quiz her then x
hope you are all ok x x try and get back on later off for a shower/bath whatever ds3 allows!!
charlie- hope you get your rest. Glad you got a lie-in. My ds2 is just the same at the moment, totally exhausting and exasperating, wanting everything and everything, climbing and just so full of energy. I know this is a wonderful age but I'm struggling at the moment too. Of course we love them but they are just such handfulls. wish we could get them together and they could exhaust eachother! Glad no spotting today. Have you phoned in sick with this pg? if not I think you can definitely have tomorrow off, you have good reason and do need to rest. good luck hon.:HH:
I am going to text my manager and say i can come in but have to take it easy extra breaks etc or if easier i wont come in x dh doesnt want me to go in at all tomorrow is also the stage I lost my mc baby really want to fast forward to my scan!!
indigo - sounds like we have similar monkeys ;) indy is a climber much worse than my other boys he is super cheeky too - we only had him last night and he totally used it to his advantage not going to sleep till late snacking on all DH's crisps etc....being a wotsit but too cute too! He is napping now after a morning of similar antics! Has your BFP sunk in yet?? :D
Deaks keeping all crossed for you x
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
Maybe some of it is hormones but mostly it's genuine bad feeling towards him and his selfish ways. Everyone likes him he is funny and caring but useless as a husband when it comes to supporting me. I think I might him to go to councilling should have done that when I first found out about the card. Thanks x
Evening ladies.
Deaks ~ I'm so sorry!! I'm still keeping my fx af doesn't turn up! would you like me update the rollcall to ttc?
Lavenderlime ~ love your new ticker!! when is your first attempt? are you excited? :)
Maybebaby ~ Oh no, i'm so sorry to hear you're feeling so upset with your dh at the moment.. i don't blame you though, i would be pretty pissed too!
Charliespy ~ when is your scan booked for? hope you manage to get some rest!!
Hello to everyone else!!! hope you've all had a nice weekend :) xx
maybe - how you describe your DH is very much like mine at times so I feel your pain - the longing for someone else to be the sensible one the one who says no I cant afford that rather than it always resting on your shoulders. I find he doesnt see how his actions affect us as a family. We are in alot of debt due to student loans plus his personal credit card debt - my mum bailed him out but he will be paying that off for 4 years......if he didnt have to pay that we could go on a lovely holiday at least once a year be able to have savings incase the car breaks oh and he wouldnt have to work overtime every weekend....I hope you can get him to go to councilling maybe go together too so you can vent too x at the moment mine is behaving although he ordered a new credit card to get an ipad i hit the roof needless to say there is no ipad and no credit card x hugs hun i hope you sort things out x
am only working a short shift tomorrow thank god bless my manager she is good x mw at 3.30 x my scan is next sat sunset cant come soon enough
Hey everyone, hope your all well and had good weekends!
Charlie hope your spotting has stopped - only read the last 2 pages so didnt see if it had.
Deaks - hope the drs go well and you can get an action plan together. I started the acidi tabs yesterday and had a tiny amount of egg white today but this cycle its mostly been creamy and not a lot of it, but my PH has spiked to 6.6 today and that was a day after dtd but also using replens.
Hope everyone else is all good and gearing up for Christmas, put our tree up today!
I thought I was due to ovulate but not sure if I have yet or whats going on, opk's have almost been positive for days but the line is mostly darkest in the am but I read LH is weakest then so maybe Im all backwards, wouldnt be suprised with my stupid PCOS hormones lol.
I stupidly forgot to chart my temp this am at 6am but went back to bed and took it after an hour or 2 extra sleep and it was really high, but am not taking that as a sign of ovulation as it was taken hours later than normal and cervix has been playing tricks on me the last few days, one minute it seems open and soft and then it closes again and does it all again! Must remember to take my temp in the am.
Off to Butlins Friday, can't wait but know the diet will go out the window, hope I ovulate before then.
Charlie - dh wanted me to get him a iPad for Xmas but I am only spending about £20 on him. If he wants a treat then you can gaurantee he will get in anyway for himself. Our dinning chair has Brooken so no way for us to all sit round the table for Christmas dinner but what is that in comparison of going without fags? Will tell him sister is buying pram as she feels sorry for me as she knows he can't afford it. That will piss him off!
Just wanted to post this as I've done one for DS1, DS2 is a bit little yet!
http://www.portablenorthpole.tv/home
You can add a photo and Santa actually says your childs name (don't think it did that last year) Thought some of your boys might like a message from santa to promote some good behaviour between now and Christmas and if they've been really cheaky put them on the naughty list :D can't wait to see Ds's face tomorrow!
Night x
Babymad, love ur Fb announcement!! I haven't done it yet, not like me, but doing it on 13th, won't say the gender, just say I'm pg! Looking at ur scan pic it looks very girly to me. xx
Just did the PNP santa video's for the boys, love it! Ordered a big bertha bean bag for the boys on Groupon for £40!! was £135!!! and Dh has almost finished our living room, so out the dining room and back in living room now and I wrapped my secret santa!! A great night! Of to my bed now, nite ladies. x
Oh god this weekend I've been so sick! I'm so scared of eating as well because it seems to make me feel worse! My house is a mess because I just don't feel upto doing much! Fun times!
The Santa thing looks good! I'll have to have a go!!
Awe Kell hugs you poor thing. x
Inglewood have you felt anymore movement with the twins?
DS1 don't think I felt him move way past 20 weeks but at 20 weeks I just looked like I'd had a big meal and was slightly bloated.
DS2 I think was about 14-16 weeks and felt like little bubbles to start with not kicking or anything. I also started showing much earlier.
The materials I ordered to make my secret Santa present arrived today So hope to get the time to make it one evening this week and get it posted out at the weekend. So excited.
Charlie how are you today hope your short day at work went ok and you get some re-assurance from the midwife this afternoon!
Deaks how are things today?
Sunset do you have a bump picture? I bet it's pretty impressive now even though your so tiny!
Hi lavender, things ok today, bleeding finally started properly though have had spotting for couple of days. Getting my next attempt finalised and feeling better about staying on the diet a little longer but not quite as intensely! You are good getting materials for your ss! im struggling with mine a bit, but gonna get it sorted soon! X
I don't actually :S I have to get around to taking a pic this week lol but let me tell you, i'm not so tiny anymore! i've gained far more weight in this pregnancy than i ever did with the boys so i feel like a walking beach whale at the moment :/ it all seems to collect on my bum and thighs haha horrendous :rofl:
how long until your attempt? :)
Hi all

Kell - with you on the sickness x huge hugs it sucks doesnt it x
just got back from MW omg it was horrid couldnt get any blood been poked and prodded and alas nothing back tomorrrow for another go - mentioned the spotting etc but the appointment was so long it kind of got forgotten amongst the stress of bloods or lack of it x they told me to ring in if it happens again so just praying for a healthy baby on saturday prayers please x
Hi everyone.....
Deaks - so sorry hun, praying that line gets darker hun. Have you done CB again?
Charlie - not long until your scan!!
