Deaks hope you have a lovely break away! Twinges all sounding good. I had sore boobs really early when preg with my boys.

LMW hope ov is soon for you.

Pinga. I was talking about smears with a friend yesterday as it's 25 for your first smear in the uk and i'm 25 in January. And the ones that have had theirs so far have all come back with abnormal cells! But this can turn out to be nothing. They ask you to come in between day 10-14 of your cycles as any old blood can come up as abnormal. Also your not ment to have sex for three days before as this can come up with abnormal. As any bacteria at all can cause an abnormal reading. So i'm thinking if your pregnant there's a good chance it will come up abnormal anyway and that will just worry you as there's nothing you can do about it! I would wait until after you give birth. As you don't want to worry about something that is probably nothing for 9 months!

OMG i'm so stressed. I had a call on Tuesday saying the replacement playhouse would arrive with us on Thursday evening waited all last night and nothing. Called them this morning and basically got fobbed off as to why it hadn't arrived, why I hadn't been contacted, how the lady who had contacted me intially was wrong etc. etc. In the end I was just so livid about being messed around with that I cancelled the order. So poor DP has been put under pressure to make a playhouse from scratch and errect it, finish decking the garden all before the boys party! I know he'll make a much better job than the one that's here it's just he has no time at the moment as he's helping his mum with their roof. Another freind put up a stud wall to seperate their kids rooms. As well as his regular day to day job.
He was hoping to get some of the decking finished tonight as it's stopped raining but I start work at 5pm. O dear. oh well it's out of my hands now.

On a good note doing well on the diet today because we went to a friends to play this morning breakfast wasn't all I thought about! I didn't eat anything till 2pm which is amazing for me.

Lastly please could someone help me with calcium citrate sups I really need to order them ASAP. I'm not too sure about the solarary ones as the mag and calcium levels are out for swaying.

[littlemisswilko]

i use the solgar brand for calcium citrate with added vit d and i know sunset did too. you can buy them off amazon

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Solgar-Calci...sr=1-2-catcorr

i would buy the 240 tabs as they last longer and are cheaper as when i first started taking supps i was having to buy these every week as i was only buying them in bottles of 60. I take 4 a day and so does my partner so they only last 7 days.

What a nightmare they have messed you about!! did they take the first playhouse they delivered and will you be getting a refund?

[Lavenderlime]

Thank so much you LMW.
Ok i will go for them there just so expensive but think i'll just have to bite the bullet and hope that I concieve quickly. DP won't take sups he thinks I'm a bit of a nutter (in a good way) for swaying.

Nope we still have the original playhouse which was the wrong order. They are ment to collect it at some point?? To be honest I feel like burning it lol. Can you tell that I've got PMT lol.

On a positive note the same friend who I was talking to about smears with is going to TTC after X mas. She has a girl and would love a boy for her DP. I've tod her about swaying in the past and we worked out that she does classic girl things.

She never eats breakfast, She's a veggie like me too so no red meat. She lives off of diet coke and probably only has one large meal a day and snacks in the evening. I think she naturally has low blood sugar as she says she often gets spots infront of her eye's or feels a bit faint. Also her DH is in a band and lives in skinny jeans!

So I've told her to start eating a big breakfast and ditch the diets coke and and just generally eat more food! Also DH has to ditch the jean! Don't think she'd properly sway but these things would give her a better chance of having a boy.

[littlemisswilko]

yeh they are slightly expensive but if your dp isnt going to take them then they are going to last a hell of a lot longer!

Its nice you can be so open to your friends about swaying like ive said before i wont dare tell anybody except DP. im glad he's doing exactly what ive told him to except he wont do the diet. he tried it and was on it for 2 weeks but he couldnt handle it and he loves his food so we had to make a comprimise!

Pinga - hope DS is better soon ds3 suffered with that as a small baby its horrid

As for the smear test I had one booked for thursday but cancelled it not sure if they do them when pregnant but i didnt want to risk it x

[charlieispy]

Deaks- yes I am sitting it out (which really surprises me!) as not feeling it this month.... really hope it is your month though! Have a great holiday and hope it makes the 2ww fly by!

WOW indigo go you hope you get a BFP i really do

Deaks enjoy your hols

Petal - hope that little man arrives pronto!!

AFM went to the park today and as we left DS2 wanted a poo so went to the loo - he took foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr by the time i made it back to the car i had a bloodly parking ticket brilliant cheap day out not so much £40!!! or £80 if i dont pay within a week going to appeal but how do you write my toddler needed to poop in an appeal letter???

[maybebabythree]

Petal - I had cramps everyday for about two weeks before DS2 came into the world. They started at 10pm and went on until 10am!! Until he came then it was a 48 hour labour!!! 48 hours!!! Mind you it was all pain free until I was 8cm dilated.

I would only consider high tech with a good clinic. If its cheap, but don't work you save nothing in the long run. If they could freeze DHs swimmers 3 cycles could be 25k. I can't belive that I would ever consider 25k as cheap! Also with four kids I would need to move. I was toying with the idea as we have a great school two miles down my road, but there is a great school in Hampshire that is the best school around here. So who knows. It's expensive here! If I owned this house it would 450k ish for a three bed semi!!!!!!! I could get a five bed detached for that back in Kent! Still both our jobs are here :¬(

I went to a RHS garden with the boys today. Love it there. So many babies there!!!!

[Petal]

LMW, yes you have to pay extra for flights and accomodation.

I didnt get twinges as such, ds1 was an induction and ds2 started as 'period pains' so we shall see :-/ I think hes gonna be a novemeber baby!!!

[maybebabythree]

Pinga - my smear was due when I fell pg. My doc and midwife said it's safe to have while PG but it can irritate your cervix and make it bleed so they don't like to do it over here. But then again my smears have always been ok. I am sure there wouldn't treat abnormal cellls while PG though? I would ask your doc the pros and cons and if they do routinely treat abnormal cells during PG over in Aus x
