Hey lovely ladies! Loving the bump pic Amanda! Bailey that's fab news about your blood tests! Pleased that everything is starting to turn around for u. Are u still using the fertility monitor?
Aw Tara I can sympathise about the nights thing I hate when im working nights I feel really lonely and really miss Ross (my oh) when I'm
On them. It's hard isn't it.
Nikki sorry to hear mikes been out a lot at night too.
Tara as for smep it's bd every day from cd8, then wen u get positive opk bd for the next 3 days every night, then a break of one day, then one more bd for luck! Lol. I did smep although we prob never followed it to a T as I was nightshifts half way through!! But we managed to bd every scond night for a week up until O then bd'd the night I got my positive opk, and the night after. Lets have our fingers crossed it works for u! What cd do u usually O??
Afm I'm feeling a lot less sorry for myself! Lol. My friends came up to mine last night and it was lovely. Turns out that actually they've not seen much of eachother either so we've all been feeling the same! We've promised to all try and make more of an effort despite work and other commitments.
Had to take off my wedding ring on Monday as my fingers swole up like sausages! Now wearing it around my neck on a chain. Feet are quite swollen too- trying to drink plenty and keep them up when I'm resting to try ease them. Think I've also got a bit of carpal tunnel syndrome secondary to the swelling.. My hands getting quite tingly and pins and needles on occasion. Joys of pregnancy! Lol. I must admit I don't feel very attractive at all.. My legs look massive to me and I have developed spider/thread veins on them

I used to love my legs. Will they go back to normal afterwards? And also.. Embarrassingly I've developed some... Excess body hair! I'm assured this will disappear after I have the baby but its making me feel horrid! My belly looks like a gorilla! Hahaha. Tmi I know ladies! And finally, to top it all off, I keep leaking... Pee!! Not a lot but enough that I'm wearing a liner and feeling very self conscious. Don't even know it happening. Midwife says its just the weight of uterus and baby on bladder and that like everything else should clear up after bubs is born. But it's embarrassing!! And makes me feel like an old lady.
So that's my embarrassing body for today

hope everyone else is well xxxx
