Excellent news Charlie!

Deaks, I see your point about PH I have a feeling mine is going to peak at ovulation, not sure what Id do then. Planned to use replens but no idea what that will do as havent used it yet.

Do all your PH readings change? I can test mine on one sample and get a high 5 reading, then test another and get a high 4.......

I did a big cheat today, McDonalds chicken burger and chips and diet coke! Did have unsalted chips though......... but Im not ovulating till 4 weeks away. And around then I have one evening out where Im having, soup, chocolate and then chocolate yule! Hope the one offs dont effect the PH too much, I will hardly eat on the rest of those days to compensate.
Does baby asprin always lower PH? Just feels like the first 2 days on diet PH was lower then I took baby asprin and folic acid and its a bit higher.

Kell - infection sounds nasty! What started it?

Charlie i agree with rainbow, i wouldn't worry at this stage about the difference, So glad they saw baby and heartbeat!!!

I've ended up back at the doctors with bad eyes again, the swelling etc all went down, but for some reason its back again, And really sore! My doctor said i've got infections around my eyes and the natural oils in my skin are gone because of the burns to my eyes so i have to apply cream almost hourly and take anti biotics He also said long term my eyes are going to suffer from this reaction and i maynot be able to wear make up.
I know its not that big a deal but i feel quite gutted by this!

On another note we've decided to breed our black lad in her next season, which could be fun for me! not sure i'm happy about looking after lots of puppies :S
I also went shopping for new clothes for ds2 today, got some lovely bargins in matalan!!

Kell your poor eyes! I'd be truely gutted about the make-up thing! I've got allot better as i've got older but I didn't used to be able to leave the house with-out some make up on! I really hope they heal up soon. Maybe you should research into some really mild/natural make-up products for sensitive skin. Katie Piper still wears make-up and she had acid thrown in her face (which really puts things into perspective for me and my hang ups!). So there must be some sensitive products out there.

Chocolate, i had a severe allergic reaction to ysl touche eclat over a week ago! It did start to clear up but i think the make up has left my eyes really sensitive now. its really nasty
Lavendar- i'm looking at sensitive make up's now, but i think for a while i'm going to have to do without, i need to give my eyes a proper chance to heel the doctor said!
I'm not actually that bad with it, i only tend to wear it when i go out for the night, which is rare!

Hello levy! I was wondering about all us original smogs the other day like mrs Pitt etc. So are you still broody? It took me 2.5 years to get pg!!!!! I wonder if I should have gone for tests sooner but never mind. Are you still at uni?

I am enjoying my pg? To be honest - no. The only one I enjoyed was ds1 until I got confined to hospital with serve pre-eclampsia. Everyone tells me not too, but I worry about things going wrong. Hence the two weekly visits to the midwife and six weekly growth scans. I was ok and it was fine with ds1 but a good friend had pe and baby at 26 weeks. She made it but not without massive issues. Bring on 30 weeks I say. I might relax then.

Charlie to see a heartbeat at six weeks sounds pretty Darn good to me!

Hope it wentwell inglewood x

[Kell]

Lol Charlie I'll do my best to purswade you to have another one! I can't have lots of labs running round my house!
We are looking at a fox red stud dog so we will hopefully have a variety of colours!!

I'm glad all was well charlie, like the others said try not to worry about the small discrepancy in dates. Yay for the Babybond scan too!

Has anybody heard from Inglewood, wasn't she having her scan today too?

Everybody's pH will go up around ovulation and it's only the pH of your fertile cm (usually EWCM) that matters. The normal vaginal secretions you get for the rest of the month are designed to be at around 4.5 anyway - that's why Replens/Rephresh etc. which are designed for treating BV work by keeping pH at 4.5, because that's what the body should do naturally anyway.

Petal ~ many congrats on your beautiful little boy! So great to hear you sound so happy...enjoy your little man xx

Charlie ~ not read all posts but hope im right in saying you've had a scan and all went well great news. I would ask for non drowsy meds for sickness as some of them literally knock you out!

Inglewood ~ I hope your scan went well, cant wait to hear all about it. I wasnt sure whether to have the flu jab or not??

Hi everyone else... I need to catch up!!

Sorry not been on, still having a dreadful time with the feeling sick/ being sick!

I have my dating scan on Thurs

Had to take ds3 to a hosp app today as he's got to have an op on his toes next week...dreading it!

[Inglewood]

Hi all, Charlie so glad ur scan went well!!! I measured 2 days behind in dates, but at that stage try not to worry!!

Well, my scan and Consultant appts were changed yest to 3.30pm/3.50pm, why that's me just online! Scan was amazing!! One was asleep the other kicking me lots! They are about the same size which they are happy about and sac's are the same size. They couldn't tell us the gender, but the Consultant herself is scanning me in 2 wks and she says she'll have a good nosey about to look for the sex, she was so so nice!!! Will be 18wks then, she said boys are obvious at 18wks, girls not always, she said we might get a better look at 20wks! I have to be scanned every 2WKS!!! and see her every 4, unless I want to see her sooner. They will be born by C-section at 36wks-ish and I will get my date closer to the time.

Off to make tea (late) will pop on later. x

Aww, that sound amazing Inglewood - I'm envious! Did you get another photo? You're going to have loads if you're being scanned every 2 weeks!
