UK SMOG Wannabes ~ December

I hope tomorrows Doctors appointment goes well. And they can prescribe you something along the lines of what HopeandDreamG has as that sounds really good!

I'm goo thanks. Just gearing up for my sway. We'll the rephresh worked but my PH looks to be about 5 now not in the 4 region two days later so think I'm going to have to use it about 6-12 hours before my attempt for it to be really effective.
People use lime which has a much lower PH and still manage to get pregnant. So just have to hope a girl sperm battles through. I think i'd rather the conditions be too harsh and not get pregnant than having a higher ph and getting pregnant. Because I'd have 12 weeks where I would be convinced it was a boy!
What will you be using for your sway?

HopeandDreamG - Did AF show? How close to your attempt did you use rePHresh. How were your bloods? Sorry for the 20 questions!

This is how I feel, if pregnant Ill believe its a boy and not have that 'possibly girl' excitment. I used replens about 3 hours before dtd this month but feel it was a boy month so wont mind if a bfn.

If it is a negative this month then I am going to do everything to sway girl next month. Although did the diet alot and still didnt lower PH so going to do some research.


Bit worried now that Inglewood hasnt been on, just hope she is busy or internet is down and scan went well,Im always a worrier!

Thanks ladies. I've tried to google it but there's not really much information out there on high blood pressure in pregnancy. I don't have pre eclampsia yet and hopefully it won't develope into that but i guess i'll know more after i've been for my next to midwife appointments this week. Hopefully my bloodpressure will behave and not climb anymore, preferably even go down lol

Babymad ~ what a lovely gift for your dh! i love that idea! and congrats to your ds!!!

Maybebaby ~ How did it all start? just high bloodpressure or both high bloodpressure and protein in the urine? and what kind of birth did you have? c-section or induced vaginal?? I've never had high blood pressure before, but i cant say i was surprised today considering how much swelling i've had since 22 weeks.
I too am sorry to hear about your dad, so sad! but i bet he's looking over you from above!

Deaks ~ fx your doctor can give you something a bit more appropriate for the rash!

Lavenderlime ~ sounds like you're all sorted and ready for your attempt! good luck!!!

hello to everyone else, sorry i will make sure to catch up more properly on your posts later, just busy cooking dinner at the moment x

Me too! I hope she's ok!!

I was induced at 37 weeks. I had swelling and put on two stone in week. Thought that was normal ( what a idiot!) went for routine midwife check my bp was 145/90 and I was admitted straight to hospital where my bp went mad! Was there for a week, went home for a few days then re-admitted. Hopefully the protein will go. You can have pe for weeks before they deliver but unfortunately it only gets worse never better with time. I hope you don't develope it, but it isn't always that bad. My bp went to 195/165 ish and at no point did I ever feel I'll.

Yeah Im about 2dpo, kinda hoping it will be a bfn as dont feel confident with my sway, however, if a bfp I will still be grateful and wouldnt wish away the chance of my child ifuswim.

What time was Inglewoods scan? Was she going to update straight after?

Maybe we should all have a phone buddy to txt so we can update for us in case we cant ever get online and also if we need a quick answer to a ttc question and cant get online?
