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!

[Babymad]

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

[maybebabythree]

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!

[Babymad]

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!!

[deaks66]

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.

[Babymad]

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

[deaks66]

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!
