Uk SMOG Wannabes ~ January

LMW-I agree with Charlie, I think you will prob be able to have a tummy scan. I was only 7 weeks with this scan and they got a really clear pic on my tummy. I only had an internal with a previous m/c when they couldn't see anything on tummy (babe was too little). I'm sure you will be fine, try not to worry about the pains, I had EXACTLY the same thing with this pg and was convinced it was an ectopic (my mum had one so thought it might be more likely), stabbing pains up on the side. Praying you will be Ok too.

i love the 'name' dave it reminds me of ds2 - we called him 'gary'

My regrets from my sway - not being so strict on the diet as i thought i had o'd and eased off a little - also no abstainance as we thought we had o'd so only 4 days i think then BD day before o however i think i killed everything with lime juice and then +12 other than that nowt i would change

oh i hope the people on the bus were ok and the driver :S

I thought i was bad having to walk home in the worst rain i have ever seen blowing straight at me - it was so bad it was running down my jeans into my boots from my head down my back, i had ds2 with me as no preschool and no buggy board he was soaked through even ds3 was and he had a rain cover. I couldnt see at one point it was raining so hard and so windy!!

Thankyou lovely lady, that brought tears to my eyes....

Praying all of us get our pink

Lmw nope didn't get to swaying, I was about to start buying sups etc but didn't get to, I did start changing my diet and increased -ions by walking the dog etc but to be honest if I get a little girl this time it's not because of swaying. How do I feel about it, well I'd been ttc for 8 months so was kinda just desperate to get pg by the end, I probably would be gutted if it turns out to be a boy, but I know I'll be ok with that in a few days, I do worry how dp will react tho, I think he would take it very badly.
If this is a girl I'm pretty sure this will be my last pregnancy, atleast for the foreseeable future anyway because I've really not enjoyed it this time round so far, I loved being pregnant with the boys but this times been quite hard.
Having said that I am only 28 and I don't know how I'll feel about more kids in my late 30's

LMW - good luck for tomorrow, Ive had internal scans done and its just like a wand with a round end, they put a condom on it lol and some lube and in it goes, sometimes you feel a little pressure as they lean to the sides etc. but they put a sheet over your legs so you cant see and its dark too so I dont even feel embarrassed. Had a few of them before so its the norm for me! Reminds me of after birth - I was just laying there legs wide stunned looking at my baby and then a nurse puts a sheet on me and says 'there you go, save some dignity' ............ and Im like 'oh yeah, I had my baby like 5 mins ago and Im still laying there with legs open wide' ........... much more embarrassing lol!

Deaks - hope you get your bfp really soon!! Will you alter your sway next month if this month isnt the one?

Charlie - my sway sounds similar to yours, I thought Id ovulated so slacked on the diet, and abstinance ended up only 5 days instead of 7. PH also was about 5 at the time of dtd but rose to the 6's around ovulation 2 days later.
Still, I agree that it was important to fall pregnant than get my sway 100% but of course I will always wonder 'what if'.

Hi Girls wow you have been really busy since this morning!!

Charlispie the wind and rain was awful today your right, I really struggled driving on my way to work this morning, so I can t imagine how it must have

Deaks how are you feeling this evening, I hope that your cramps that you experienced have been implantation cramps!!

LMW I agree with the other girls, I'm sure one of scans was a tummy scan at around 6-7 wks and I had one with DS2, DS3 and DD!

Indigo how are you feeling today, has the sickness eased off any ??

Much love to you all xxx

chocolate, no i wont alter my sway next month but WILL remember to remove my femmecup before dtd! Will also make sure i do 2 attempts in quick succession at 0+12.

3LM, still feeling crampy though didnt notice it in the daytime today. I have no idea whether it is definately the crinone as its quite hard to find other users stories on the net or whether its af (though considering crinone delays af i wouldnt have thought this that likely yet...am only 8 out of 13 or 14dpo) or implantation. It is low down, in the middle and just like dull pains. I iwsh i could find out if any other crinone users had crampy symptoms start a week after starting the meds.

Anyway just gonna have to wait til tomorrow to test but not very hopeful.

Ahh Deaks I forgot about the femme cup thing lol!! xx

[charlieispy]

you never know deaks x leaving a femme cup in might be a girl sway in the near future...seriously

indigo - you are more than welcome

Hello! Just posted on the Dec thread but seen the Jan thread now! Not sure if you ladies remember me but I started posting on your UK SMOG Wannabe thread on plumlily but when plumlily shut down I lost where you all were. I have noticed that since I last posted some of you are expecting girls and Inglewood your twins are girls OMG how amazing a thousand congratulations!!! I have 2 DS and hope to start swaying in April, any advice from anyone?!! I am willing to do anything for a girl for our third and final child. I am determined to do the diet, ions, started the supplements already and thinking of going for abstinence but not sure on cut off or o+12 (our boys were every other day bd through Ov) Hope you are all well and that 2012 brings us our pink dreams! x
