Send some healthy bubba thoughts my way ladies - I was bleeding in the night and now have a very tender tummy. My midwife is making me an appointment for a scan, hopefully tomorrow.

Oh no! I hope all is well. I hope you are able to rest.

I have a question: Next month will be my actual attempt. I plan to use cut off HOWEVER, if I miss it and get a positive digital before I try, I will go for 0+ so I want to be prepared. Last night (Saturday, CD 15) at 10:40pm I got my first I know I caught it early bc I tested several times yesterday bc I knew it had to be coming. If this was an actual attempt and I went by the 36 hr rule my attempt would be Monday morning at 10:40 am and I would want CM to be creamy/dry. What about CP what do you want? Last night after my it was so high I could barely reach.

What confuses me about 0+ is that you need to DTD before your temp spikes on FF. Is that correct?? If you look at my ovulation chart from last cycle (sept) I got a CD 14 and my attempt for 0+ would be CD 16 in the am (also when temp dropped lowest) I thought ovulation happened at the rise in temp. and then I would be too early. OR FF puts O day on CD 16, is it safe to assume O took place the evening of CD15 and the temp can't pick it up till am.. which would actually have made that a perfect 0+ 12 timing. Am I understanding this correctly? I think I'm getting more confused even as I write this. I'm just afraid I DTD too close to O. Can someone tell me how this works in relation to the temp.
Sorry if this is super confusing

oh hun FX FX FX for you i hope all is ok and the scan shows that you are in my thoughts and prayers

Zanacal Really hope everythings ok! good luck for your scan!

Thanks for the welcome ladies! I've been reading up on the 7 sway factors, i am quite use to charting temps, cm and cp from ttc my youngest son. The confusion for me comes in terms of which diet to go with, testing ph and negative ions/ moon info!
Theres a few things i need to get buying before i even think about swaying! Is there an particular ph testers you guys use?
Oh also lime douches, what do you buy for this and where?
Unfortunatly in the past i've had problems with DP sperm and ended up with infections, i'm convinced this is due to our ph differences, so i know this will be a big thing for me to have to perfect!

Sorry i'm sure i'm asking things for the millionth time, if the answers are writted already feel free to point me in the right direction! x

Do you weigh less than you did before pregnancy at 21 weeks that's crazyness!

Iron....?? what's this ironing you speak of?

The nearest thing to an iron in our house is a tumble dryer!

Good luck with the wardrobe sorting I did the same this summer and was brutal if I hadn't worn it in a year then it was going to charity/ rag pile. So much nicer having somewhere to fit the new clothes.

How is Dave is he a kicker?

I do weigh about 3lbs less than my pre-preg weight. I wonder when it will pile on? I still don't wont to eat much as I just don't fancey anything. I can see my arms getting thinner too.

I get more lazy with time. Before I had kids I cleaned the house every saturday morning, now it's once a month if I am lucky, but I have to hoover all the time as my DH and boys seem to secrete crumbs! I haven't been near the warddrobe still. I can't pull my clothes apart to see them its so rammed! My maternity jeans ripped yesterday and I debated keeping them. Gawd I am useless at de-cluttering. Mybay Dave can go on top of the ironing pile? lol!

Yes he kicks, not much but if I lay on my back he really boots me one! Probably because I am upset he is never going to want to wear a pink dress or play dolls with me :¬)

Oh fx all is ok for you both! I had really bad cramps before 12 weeks, I honestly felt like being in labour. Its just horrible. Feet and up try to take things very easy xxxx

[Lavenderlime]

Hope your not worrying too much Zanacal and can get a scan sorted tomorrow. x

[Inglewood]

Z, I too had terrible cramps and still do, they worry me when they're really bad. Take it easy and rest! Keep us updated after ur scan. xxhugsxx

Charlie, we have a Honda civic sport (dh begged me for ages for ths car) got it 1yr ago and it's new, so big loan taken out!! and prob loose lots £ now!! My friend has same as u and she loves it!

[maybebabythree]

Inglewood - Do you have two cars? DH has a astra and I have a Zafria so we can have one 5 seater for the school runs and then the family car. Shame you have to sell your new one :¬(

I only got rid of 6 things from my wardrobe but there are things in there I haven't worn for ten years!!! My interview suit (too small now anyway) a dressy dress (No where to wear it and I have other dresses I would rather wear if I was to go out somewhere posh) things that don't fit but I hope to slim into and shirts for work even though I don't wear shirts for work as they seem to come undone all the time. I wish I had more will power! We did a great job clearing up but there is still so much to do!
