Ha with ds I bled like a normal period (maybe even less) for about 4-5 days and that was it, so maternity pads were ridiculous!

I thought I was being clever this time by getting two packs of 'slim' maternity pads, I went through 3/4 packs of hospital maternity pads, dm had to get me 4 more packs and I just got through and started a new pack of the 'slim' ones... All in 8 days!

I think I had crazy hormones as I felt very down at the end of my pregnancy and very very touchy the days after but I am starting to feel like my old self again now and me and h have got on today ShockShockShock

Tori after sickness has gone you'll change your mind, we must be programmed to forget. I felt exactly the same but now I'm feeling better it seems easier than it was.

Cupcake92 · 16/12/2014 16:18

I made the same mistake with DS Ducky! I didn't buy enough maternity pads at all! And had to ask mil to go buy me some!! Haha!
And aawwww bless ur DS! He typed 'Jim' !! Maybe he's trying to tell u he wants to be called Jim Grin baby Jim!
And the sickness is a bit worse today but I've brought some ginger biscuits see if they help :) can't believe I'm pregnant, its just so great !! Haha! Grin

So happy for you tori Smile

Thanks I am Grin

Glad you are feeling better lulu Smile one word of advice from me, get your maternity pads, then get more, and more and more and more... I completely underestimated how many I would need even though I have birth before Blush I was wearing 2 on top of each other the first day and was soaking through then quickly BlushBlushBlushBlush
Jim (ds just hit my phone and wrote that Grin)

Tori, I searched mumsnet last night and was amazed by how many threads there are of women feeling exactly as I have been feeling in the last few weeks of pregnancy. Wish I had done it before. It made me feel much better.

I slept really badly last night but. it was nice having DH there.He got up and got me some stuff for heartburn about half 2 and made me a cup of tea when my moving round woke him.

I have been having twinges across my bump low down but they have stopped. Would that be Braxton Hicks thing?

Believe it or not, I am up showered, dressed, hair and make-up done and ready for work. Might as well go in and sort some stuff out. Only 4 days left and I need to leave everything right. The building opens at 6.30am.

DH thinks I am mad. He could be right.

Iam- hope your Christmas present is a BFP. That would be so good for you.

Tonight me and DH are tucked up in our bed - hurrah! we have been chatting and had a cuddle and a bit of a snog Grin and he is fast asleep. Why I suddenly feel so much calmer I don't know. Pregnancy is the most bizarre thing. I am never doing it again- and that is before the birth. Confused This moodiness is just awful. Poor DH does not know where he is with me.

Purplelilly · 15/12/2014 20:44

Thanks again Ducky :)

Congratulations Tori!!

iamthedivergentbuddytheelf · 15/12/2014 20:32

2 days not 2 1/2!

LuluJakey1 · 15/12/2014 20:00

Congratulations Tori! Welcome to the club- another baby boy. How many weeks are you now?

My baby boy is like a big pea in a pod ready to pop. Have packed my hospital bag and another bag for DH to bring in and a list for him. Only 20 days to DDay.

We are OK today. 2 1/2 days of okayishness. He slept in the spare room with me last night and apart from radiating heat and breathing- which annoys me- once I fell asleep it was nice having him there. Xmas Smile He has been making me laugh tonight which makes a change.

Ducky23 · 15/12/2014 19:56

Purple I think a positive opk means you will ov in the next 24 hours Smile I don't know much about temping though Smile

Tori wicked news!!! GrinGrin How you feeling? I love my little boy Smile

Thank you Ducky and Cupcake.
I didn't think about possibly ovulating on the day of, or day after the positive opk. I really hope so! :) Sadly I didn't temp those days.

I have started using Fertility Friend, but there are quite a lot of days where I've not taken it due to being up a lot during the night, or forgotten my thermometer when away. My graph is not very useful I think due to the lack of data inputted.

www.fertilityfriend.com/home/54f11e

I'm not sure why my temp at 8dpo was so low, so I should probably disregard that one.

My CM is watery so early/often because I started taking EPO this month to increase my CM.

Cupcake92 · 15/12/2014 17:25

Purple for the temps if u have dip and then rises back up to ur usual temp then Ov has happened. Ur temp may not rise till implantation. And will only drop if AF is on its way.
Do u have fertility friend? If not I suggest u get it and enter ur temps into it and it will tell u automatically if uve ovulated.

OP posts:
Ducky23 · 15/12/2014 17:11

Purple if you had a positive opk that would be your ov day? Me and h DTD 3 days in a row when I got my first positive

Purplelilly · 15/12/2014 16:39

Just wanted to add, do you think it is worth me bd today just in case I OV tomorrow?
(TMI, sorry) I'm still sore from Saturday, so I don't want to unless it will increase the chance of a baby.

Purplelilly · 15/12/2014 16:30

I don't think I've ovulated again this month :(

I got a positve opk on Saturday and bd that night. Yesterday I got another positive and today a negative opk. I was away for the weekend and forgot my thermometer, but my temp this morning was similar to that which it has been for the last week.

If my temp hasn't risen tomorrow morning I'll keep doing opk's to see if I have another surge later in the month.

Lulu, I hope things improve for you. It sounds like you've had a lot of stress.

Good luck to all of you who are still awaiting that BFP.

Cupcake92 · 14/12/2014 21:16

Glad ur feeling better Siarie! :)

21 let us know how the stork trial goes! Sounds interesting!
Oh and go get that BFP!! :)

Ducky it's amazing the love u feel for ur child once they are born :) :)

And Lulu im so glad uve had a good day! Hope things are looking up for u and DH :)

I think my biggest pg symptom atm is headaches I keep getting them. I drink a lot so I'm not dehydrated. Headaches are awful things lol!

21 I am no help to you with anything technical about conception. Hope this is your month. BFP for Christmas would be lovely.

Sairie- I would be furious if AC wasn't working as well. Hot bedrooms are my worst thing on holiday.
