Aw 21 sorry AF got you. Hope your cycle sorts itself out soon and short cycles are better than long ones as you have less of a wait until you start trying again the next month!

Cupcake your DH sounds awful. If your ds needs nappies can you just go in his wallet when he's upstairs or something and take the cash out? If he confronts you, you can tell him what you've done and why you had to do it for your ds!

Ducky23 · 09/08/2014 17:59

And the nappy thing is disgusting. He has money to feed himself crap but not get his son essentials?!?! What a knob.

21questions · 09/08/2014 17:59

Cupcake thats really awful. He sounds very immature and you can make him leave if thats what you want.

Ducky23 · 09/08/2014 17:58

That's exactly like mine cupcake Hmm bloody horrible isn't it.

Really feel for you as I know exactly what your going through.

Have completely wiped myself out! Feet and ankles are throbbing and back is killing me! And I only got the bedroom and lounge some properly!

LuluJakey1 · 09/08/2014 17:56

Oh Cupcake- that is so horrible. He is just awful to do that. It should not even be a real question- will he buy nappies for DS. He should just do it. It is shocking behaviour.

Can you get DS some nappies? Have you got any?

Cupcake92 · 09/08/2014 17:51

Thanks bradders and lulu he'll have a great bday :)

21 sorry to hear about AF!! :( :(

And Ducky that's mean of him!!! Ur pg!! He should help!!!
:( not nice for u to struggle!
My H (even tho I'd rather he not be that at all tbh!) is being effing HORRIBLE to me today!
I know it sounds horrible but I wish he'd cheat or do something that gives me a reason to kick him out. Cuz everytime Ive told him to leave he won't. I just want him gone. I can't do this anymore why do I always have to be spoken to like crap :( and treated like a slave! I asked him to buy DS some nappies and he said he couldn't afford them and that id have to buy them when I'm paid.
Then he said "I'm getting a Burger King" so I said "well u can't u have no money?" N he goes "I have money to treat myself what's ur problem"
He has money to eat shit but not get his son nappies?!?!?!? WTF?!?? I hate him so much! NONE of my ex's were horrible to me like this ever!

Thanks guys it was only first month of trying so shouldnt of got my hopes up really. Onwards and upwards.

No ducky I'm not on the trial. My cycle is usually between 22-26 days so it has been exceptionally short last 2 months.

Ah fil sounds lovely lulu make the most of it and relax.

Good luck this month bradders and all the others trying hope you get your bfps.

LuluJakey1 · 09/08/2014 16:53

DH and MIL gone for walk along beach. FIL just knocked on bedroom door to say do I mind if he does a bit of weeding for us as the borders need a bit of a going over.
Not at all, thank you very much.
Says he will bring me another cup of tea in an hour and just to get some rest. Awww!

LuluJakey1 · 09/08/2014 16:34

Sorry 21 FX next month Sad

I am having a lie down. We have been up to Alnwick and Morpeth with PIL.
Exhausted. DH is sitting in garden with them. I am lying on bed with fan on me having some peace and quiet.

Cupcake- you must be so excited about the birthday party! Grin

Ducky23 · 09/08/2014 16:26

Sorry 21 Sad that is a very short cycle! Were you on the cb trial?

bradders85 · 09/08/2014 16:22

sorry AF got you 21. cd 15 for me today and I have already ov'd on cd 12 (earlier than usual) which shocked me but I had the cramps to match the solid smilie on the ov stick! Having a day of cleaning today (the joys!) currently distracting myself from mopping the floor! :-) hope everyone is well and your son has a fab first birthday cupcake. x

iamdivergent · 09/08/2014 14:27

Af arrived already ffs another short cycle 18 days. Sad

Ducky23 · 09/08/2014 13:37

Well we decided that we would get a skip and have a good clear out of the house cus there's crap every where and it's gross, because of te skip there's only room for one of us to park so 'd' h has said I have to park elsewhere so I have to walk down the street to my car (not a massive deal but it's hot and I'm pg and quite big for 20 weeks and my feet keep swelling).

Now he's refusing to chuck anything else. He's just watched me climb up on te windowsill trying to put new curtains up and it was v difficult, instead of helping he's sitting there laughing at me.

I've spent the whole morning tidying, he dragged himself out of bed at 11 and just made a mess.

Now there's an old sofa we need chucking out and I can't tidy tht room until it's gone and he's refusing to do it cus he's 'watching tv' so I don't know what to do Hmm

Awww 1!!! Must be exciting! Grin

Cupcake92 · 09/08/2014 13:18

It's Wednesday lulu! Can't believe he's going to be 1! His first ever birthday :') he's got his birthday party tomorrow tho.

Uh oh Ducky :/ he's a week late. What's up with him?

Ducky23 · 09/08/2014 12:29

H's time of the month must have been switched this month cupcake Hmm

LuluJakey1 · 09/08/2014 11:11

You too Cupcake. When is your little boy 1? It's soon isn't it?

Cupcake92 · 09/08/2014 09:55

Lulu I think in going to have to bake a cream cake today. I've been craving a slice since u mentioned it!
And that's true my DH could just be being cautious, I just really like talking about the baby as it excites me.

Hope u have a nice day today!

LuluJakey1 · 08/08/2014 23:01

Cupcake I am sitting in bed with a large piece of cream cake and a mug of tea. What is the betting I have heartburn tonight? DH is watching me in disgust I think.

PIL have gone to bed. We are talking very quietly as they are in the room next door. We are going shopping in Morpeth in Alnwick in the morning which they will enjoy.

DH keeps putting his hand on my bump when I feel the bubbly feelings but he can't feel it yet.

I do have awful wind again. Blush

Your DH might be being cautious until the scan- it feels like tempting fate sometimes I think talking about it.

Bearsinmotion · 08/08/2014 21:41

I'm taking my kindle - there was a lot of hanging around last time!

Cupcake92 · 08/08/2014 21:34

Ooo lulu fresh cream Victoria sandwich! I'm so so very jealous! I love baking too but as u say it's just an every day thing. I bake a lot, I love making cakes and brownies :)

DH I dunno tbh. I keep taking about the baby and baby related stuff n all he says is , "I don't really want to think or talk about it at the minute" he says he'll talk about the baby after the scan. :/

LuluJakey1 · 08/08/2014 21:19

Yes Ducky we usually end up there at some point on Boxing Day. My mum was very frail for the last few years so we have spent the day itself with her- I was an only child- but this will be the first Christmas since she died.

They live in West Yorkshire about 130 miles from us so it's a good drive- pretty village though outside of Bradford.

This will be our first Christmas alone - and probably our last for a long time. Just going to have a nice relaxing day.

Cupcake, DH has now bookmarked lots of baking sites on his iPad to research his next effort. This is what drives me mad. I bake and it's just baking. He bakes and it becomes a research project and he has to know everything about it and everything has to be analysed and admired. And I know for a fact he'll get sick of it once TGBBO is over. It is a fad, whereas I bake regularly and make no fuss about it. Smile I might have another bit of the fresh cream Victoria sandwich for my supper. Grin

Is DH being nice today Cupcake?

Cupcake92 · 08/08/2014 20:52

Lulu bless ur DH well done him!! :D
And a quiet Xmas sounds lovely :)

Yes maternity pants are a must!!! And make sure they are big ones so that the elastic doesnt hurt ur belly! (It did mine from my stitches and staples from csection )

And Ducky yeah u can't wear trousers when the catheter is in plus u can't feel ur legs for a good 12 hours haha.
For me the catheter was fine I thought itd hurt to come out etc but never hurt one bit :)
How exciting that ur little man could be here with u on Xmas day!! What an amazing present :)

Hi Happy!!! Congrats on the bfp!! :D

Ducky23 · 08/08/2014 20:46
