Lucky thread

[Tawn]

Yeah, Cath, I think you will O tonight (I think most women O while sleeping, I think I read that somewhere! lol) Just my opinion but those OPKS look perfect, even better than yesterdays! So I think if you DTD today and already on Wed you are SPOT ON! Whahoo!

And yea, he is on medication for his ADHD, which DH and I don't like much and are hoping to ween him off over the next couple of years.

BAILEY! Glad you are back. Freak out totally understood hun, I think you will recall I was exactly the same before finding out whether it was in the right place! Seriously, you would be crazy NOT to have a wobble at this time in your pregnancy! So glad you are back! How many sleeps till your scan hun? Just a few right? And then you will see bean so safe and happy, wiggling away, I am sure you will be SO relieved!

Hi Bump, welcome back!

 

[cathgibbs]

oh yay!!!! We will be dtd after Asda - oh said he doesnt want all his energy going before shopping - cheeky git all he does is sit in the car and wait for me haha!!

yeh weaning him off it would be a good idea hun, you never know what the long term affects are off medication do you?

I think we are all going to go a bit crazy in the first tri - like you said Tawn its only normal to do that xxx

 

[cathgibbs]

Hi Bump, glad your hol went good hun xxx

 

[baileybubs]

Thanks cath and tawn, I am glad to be back, and glad I feel like myself again!! I did not like myself earlier this week, I didnt recognise myself, I am not a negative person. But thanks again for your support and kind words xxxxx

Cath - I agree with tawn I deffo think today is O day by those opks. So dtd after Asda lol!! Why does he wait in the car? Do you have to do all the shopping lol!! Although I think I'd prefer that coz my oh is a pain when we do food shopping!! That should deffo be enough to catch that eggy though, and again tomorrow just for good measure lol!!
Aw sorry about the BV, I have had that too and was told the same reason, about the soaps and stuff. I buy that femifresh stuff now and have showers more than baths if I can. If your PH is high I would deffo recommend one of the sperm safe lubes hun coz I think high PH can be bad for spermies, did you say you are using preseed or am I imagining that??

Tawn - yeah I think weening ss off meds is good, I have done a lot of work with autistic adults (although most are on the more severe end of the spectrum) and I have found that the right attitude and care is far more effective in improving behaviour than simply prescribing meds. I have seen doctors just randomly prescribe drugs to my clients in such a cavalier fashion with no care for how it will affect them, its just a "errr lets try this drug" kind of approach!!

 

[cathgibbs]

yeh your not negative at all hun, but dont beat yourself up about its totally normal to feel like that chick, im glad your back

Ohhhh i didnt even think of that!!! well i just googled what is normal and its 3.5 - 4.5 and my PH was 4.5 so im just on the borderline lol! im starting cranberry juice aswell so im hoping it will come down after that, i think my spermies (lol my spermies) will be ok as its classed as 'normal' iv only took 2 and half days worth of anti b and it feels so much better already!!! Yeh Hun he just sits in the car!! I literally do everything in our relationship, clean the house, make food, washing, take the bins out, deal with the bills!! I even used to get his socks and pants out ready for the morning!!! WTF!?!?! that soon changed haha!!

Thanks girls for looking at my OPKs im going to do one this afternoon and compare - tawn those OPKs you recommended are brill i love them, nice and chunky! xxx

 

[baileybubs]

Oh good glad your spermies will be ok lol!! Well you oh better be ready for when you are pg again coz he'll have a lot more to do, no more housework, cleaning, hoovering etc for you!! You will need to take it easy! (says me, my oh has been off for a week and yet this morning he went back to work and I have had to clean the whole house!)

Oh and my scan is 13 sleeps away!!! Just 13 thats hardly any lol. I think I will be so relieved either way what happens coz its been built up to this massive climax coz I feel Ive been waiting so long!! I keep reminding myself of the guiness advert......good things come to those who wait!!!

 

[baileybubs]

I think I'm gonna start saying df (dear fiance) instead of oh (other half) from now on coz whenever i just say the word "oh" in a post I am confusing myself

 

[MrsDuck]

Hi bailey I'm glad you are back I've missed you x

Totally understandable to have a wobble but 12 sleeps will go in no time and you'll see baby wiggling away x

I love df haha, our dfs, ohs and dhs don't know how lucky they are til we can't do the cooking, cleaning etc, it's certainly been a shock to my dhs system x

Yawn I love your new avatar gorgeous x

Well my walk almost killed me, I got there and thought shir how am I going to get back I'm pooped, but I took my time and my dad called so talking to him while I walked helped but my dh and freaked when he found my note and also couldn't get through on my phone so was driving around trying to find me but to get to the shop I walk through the lanes and he wasn't sure which way I had walked, he found me as I was almost home aw bless x

 

[MrsDuck]

Blood auto text whenever I type tawn it changes it to yawn!

 

[baileybubs]

Aww mrs d bless your dh!! I hoep you rest for the rest of the day hun and let dh take care of you!

And I've missed you too!

 

[Tawn]

AWWW MrsD, your story about your DH worrying about you getting home is lovely. He sounds like a wonderful partner! And I am glad he felt the same way I did! I was worried you would be overdoing it going there and back! Tsk tsk! Take is slow for the rest of the day, mmmmkay!

K ladies, I will catch up laters! I gotta go take a shower and get myself ready for the long walk to stepson's school to then walk from there to the doctor's surgery! Will be really happy when I get my UK driver's license! Hahah applied for my provisional last week so Bailey you and I can suffer test anxiety together!

Update you all after the midwife, I need to go shave in case I have an internal

 

[baileybubs]

And I have just cancelled my practical tawn, was supposed to be next Friday but after all my panics and tiredness I am just not ready, gonna rebook for October! But any help on the provisional and I am here!!

I hope that your appointment goes well hun!!

 

[MrsDuck]

Aw I know bless him, I didn't call him to let him know coz I knew he'd be worried but I left him a note at home in case he came home and worried where I was. I am taking it easy for the rest of the day im knackered x

Tawn I hope your midwife is lovely, update us soon, lol at the shave bit x

 

[AmyB1978]

Cath,

I am in central time so, I think, maybe 7 or so hours behind most of you ladies. Right now it is 8:30am.

MrsD,
Closing date is Sept 28th, MIGHT move sooner but I doubt it. I will just be happy when we are moved in and I can know the house is ours and that the financing/etc all REALLY worked out! By then we are HOPING to know if LO is a boy or a girl so we can start getting the nursery ready too! (It is remaining painted the soft yellow/white that it currently is.) Until then PMA!

 

[baileybubs]

Bet you cant wait Amy! I remember seeing your pic of the nursery and its a lovely colour!

 

[MrsDuck]

Not long to go Amy I bet you can't wait. The nursary looked lovely in lemon I remember the pic x

You are 6 hours behind us in the uk, I'll try and remember that x

 

[cathgibbs]

OHs brother is staying down tonight so that means no dtd, im so pissed off he is 19 in November and he cant even stay at his own house cause he cant do nothing for himself!!!!!! sorry ladies for ranting but all our arguments oh and i have are about his brother :-/ xxx

 

[MrsDuck]

Rant away xx

Can you dtd very quietly? x

 

[cathgibbs]

TMI - im not quiet at all and if im quiet i dont enjoy it or OH doesnt lol im hoping his brother doesnt come down as when he is there i feel like im babysitting 2 children as they just leave their plates on the floor, stuff out of the cupboards and dirty laundry everywhere and i cant cope (im a bit OCD) i told OH that whatever happens we are DTD - if he has a drink he can perform so hes already been warned not to drink lol!!

how you feeling after your work hun? xxx

 

[baileybubs]

Aw cath your oh's brother sounds like a right pain!! Sounds like my own brother actually!

Oh ladies just when I started to feel better - the reason I have been doing so many nights and we have been so busy at work is coz one of our residents has been in hospital, I've just found out (via Facebook of all things) that she died this morning.

Its so sad because we really wanted her to come home so that she was in familiar surroundings and with those who love her.

And I feel awful because when I was asked if I wanted to go and do a shift with her at the hospital I said I'd rather not because I didnt want to sit in the hospital for 10 hours around all the germs and MRSA and stuff.

I'm really not comfortable with death and stuff, and some of the other staff have been up to see her today to say goodbye (once she had passed) and I am hoping I dont get asked because I'm not sure if I could cope with that. I'm not good with things like that, I dont know how people expect you to act!!
