This is my first month using opk so i was like is this normal? Lol. I had to look up emetophobia. That would be a horrible phobia to have, especially being pregnant! I'm sorry you go thru that. Yeah, I can understand not wanting to scare him. Well I hope it'll all work out for you. I'm sorry about the sore throat, those are horrible. I had a virus a couple months ago that left me with a really bad sore throat, to where I really couldn't swallow cuz it hurt so bad, and they couldn't do anything for me and said it needed to run its coarse and it lasted 10 days. It was horrible. At least when I had strept throat they could give me antibiotics to get better.
