You never know, you might conceive straight away because you are in a romantic phase! My DH is very similar, and even though AF came today and our first cycle is over, he's still convinced it'll happen next month and isn't at all phased by the whole monitoring thing (yet- I give it one more month!)

It really annoyed me today just how much everything costs in boots for people who are ttc. We picked up some his/hers conception vitamins before we realised they were £18! And £50 for digital ovulation sticks (I bought mine on amazon in the end). They must make a fortune! Grrr. Rant over.

They must make a fortune! And it's probably mainly from the people on this thread hahaha Grin

Have you looked in asda at the vitamins? They are probably a lot cheaper.... Bloody hell you'd think id have shares in asda. Just thought though because I looked in boots at my vitamins the other day and they were £18 but they were £3.50 in asda Blush

I've read a lot about pregnecare recently with them making people feel ill and stuff, I've used them since dd1 and have been fine. I carried on taking them after dd1 without a break due to the folic acid and TTC #2 :-)

This is what I need advice on actually ladies, my doctor said vitamin D and folic acid so I've been taking for a couple of months. Beyond that I really am clueless!

Evening all!

Sorry af got you Popple!

Me and DH use Pregncare conception we've never had any problems we get them off Amazon they are loads cheaper!

Mac what did you want to know? I'm sure between us we can answer almost any question on TTC Grin my midwife said to just continue with the normal pregnecare as I still had them and they have everything I needed in them Smile apparently taking them can also improve your chances of conception although I'm not sure how true that is.

Crazy, you deserve a medal! No poas!!!!! Well done! The amount of money I must have wasted on bloody poas at stupid dpo! It makes me cringe thinking about it. Are you usually regular? How many dpo are you?

Welcome Lulu Smile
sorry to hear AF came Popple. There will be lots of BFP this month Smile
I use the supermarket/boots own brand pregnant multivitamins. I think the official line from NHS is folic acid and vitamin D are the essential ones.
I'm feeling utterly exhausted and little overwhelmed today about coping with pregnancy, work and a toddler who seemed to spend most of the day in a tantrum Shock

Ducky23 · 05/05/2014 22:11

Ohhh Bugaboom I don't know how you manage Confused I'm still off work ATM and spend my day feeling exhausted even when I don't do anything! And I have no other children to care for all day Confused I was thinking today I don't know how people manage being pregnant with other children! Smile

Omg what a night I've had!!! :( it's been awful!!
DS went to bed at 9pm all fine and straight to sleep, by 1am I'm calling an ambulance as he's suddenly struggling to breath and coughing horribly and he's panicking bless him :( just got home now. He's been given special medicine and seems better now.
It was the scariest moment of my life :(
I don't dare go to sleep now, I'm sat by his cot constantly checking he's breathing. :(

Oh cupcake how awful. Can you bring him into your bed so you both get some sleep?Thanks

I really feel for you cupcake, that's awful. Glad he was better when you got back home though, how is he now? I'm keeping everything crossed for you, finders, eyes all of it. Let's hope for a power nap & a half too.

Bugaboom I take my hat off to you! I'm not sure I could cope at all to be honest.

Ducky I really don't have a clue! Is all a bit overwhelming - there seems to be a lot of products available and so much information. Is a bit like can't see the wood for the trees!
