me I have tons left over now that I'm more than happy to send you? X

Thanks ducky and lil I hope so. I have also taken evening primrose oil from cd1 until today which increased ewcm definitely.

Me624 · 13/09/2014 19:03

kato that's so generous! Thanks, that would be great. I'll pm you. I didn't realise you have to dehydrate yourself to use them! That's a pain as I drink so much water during the day, I think it's something to do with the air con in my office just makes my mouth and skin feel dry all the time. I'm not so bad at home though so maybe I can do them in the evenings.

iamdivergent · 14/09/2014 09:00

I'm on day 6 of flashing smiley Confused I'm wondering if these sticks are a bad thing for me

Hi everyone :) hope everyone is well this morning.
I hope everyone using the opks catches their eggs!
I'm not going to use opks this month but will next month :)

Siarie · 14/09/2014 11:05

Urgh feeling rough today, I've lost 4lbs in the last two weeks while being on holiday and sick. Home now though but haven't been able to eat much and threw up this morning, boo hoo when it the nausea going to go!

7w 4d today, I found OPKs to be really accurate for me. I used the cheap sticks off Amazon.

Imustbecrazy26 · 14/09/2014 11:07

Hi all, the last time I posted I was getting my hopes up that I might get a BFP but af came 2 days later then I thought it would! This month I got my smiley face on cd14 and I'm now 19 past that and no af and no BFP (even though I convince myself I can see something everytime I poas) any ideas??

I know I've missed a lot again but sorry to read about you cupcake I can't imagine what it was like!

Congrats to any new BFP!!

Sounds like everyone who is months along are doing well!!

Cupcake92 · 14/09/2014 19:46

Sorry to hear ur feeling awful Siarie :( :( hope u feel better soon.

Hi crazy!! Hmm maybe leave it a couple days then test again? I'm not sure but I hope u get an answer soon!

It's my birthday tomorrow. Feel like crying. I would have been 12 weeks and be announcing it tomorrow. :( :(
Eugh. N I'm not even getting a bday card from DH or DS as DH forgot to get one :/

Ducky23 · 14/09/2014 20:55

Well I still hope you hVe a lovely day cupcake after DH forgot the card. How has he been recently? Have you got anything nice planned? It's my birthday on Thursday aswell!

Me624 · 14/09/2014 21:17

Hope tomorrow isn't too hard for you cupcake. My DH often forgets to get me a card too - think men just don't see them as important really! He even tells me not to bother getting him one though I always do.

Cupcake92 · 14/09/2014 21:23

Thanks Ducky :) he's been alright tbh ! Shockingly haha! Oooooo happy bday for Thursday!! :D

N thanks Me! That's exactly like my DH! Lol!!

LuluJakey1 · 14/09/2014 22:37

Happy Birthday this week Ducky and Cupcake. You never know, DH might surprise you after work with a card and pressie. We don't make much fuss of birthdays- always low key but we do get each other something.

I have felt like shit all day today- exhausted and sicky. Think it might be something I ate plus DH's shenanigans last night. Long story but I had a bad night's sleep because of his kindness to my first boyfriend who turned up drink and distraught after his wife has had an affair and DH brought him in and made pals with him while I was out. He stayed and snored all night very loudly!

DH has never met him before. But they quite took to each other- discussed music, watched a film and had a pizza and a few beers. Hmm

Bearsinmotion · 15/09/2014 05:45

I feel dreadful today. Pregnancy insomnia has hit really bad again - I tend to suffer anyway and pregnancy makes it so much worse :(

I'm also feeling really down - worried about baby. It doesn't feel like there's anything in there, if you know what I mean? Am seeing the midwife tomorrow and am convinced she'll find something wrong. Hopefully it's just exhaustion making me feel so negative - literally not had a solid hours sleep last night - but I just can't shake it. No symptoms that anything is wrong, but none that are "right" either Confused :(

21questions · 15/09/2014 06:46

Cupcake and me my DH is the same. Always forgets the card unless DD reminds him Smile Happy Birthday cupcake CakeFlowers

Bears everything always seems worse when you cant sleep. I'm sure you will be reassured by your midwife later.

Ducky23 · 15/09/2014 06:46

Happy birthday cupcake!!! GrinGrinGrin

Bears, I completely understand how your feeling! I wAs completely the same and felt like I had no symptoms! Now even though I have a big bump I only feel pg when he's moving around!

Managed to get a video of him jumping around last night Grin

Bearsinmotion · 15/09/2014 07:05

Happy Birthday cupcake! DP always buys good presents and often makes his own cards, but I NEVER get them on my actual birthday Confused. I always feel childish being upset but I just don't understand why he can't get it for my birthday, it's not the same! Hope he comes up with the goods later!

Ducky, I remember that with DD, it's a weird feeling to feel something wriggling around but it's lovely. When I drive to work there's a big hill that always makes my stomach go a bit - when DD was in there it would always make her jump!

Me624 · 15/09/2014 07:43

Happy birthday cupcake! Thanks

Lulu I saw your thread in Aibu about your DH and ex! Very strange but quite sweet! Hope you managed to get a better night's sleep last night.

iamdivergent · 15/09/2014 08:19

Happy birthday cupcake I hope you have a nice day x Thanks Wine

Thanks everyone! :)
Hope ur all okay this morning :)

steph1204 · 15/09/2014 08:45

Happy birthday Cupcake!! And happy birthday in advance Ducky!! :)

Bears, I feel the same... I wasn't very active on the thread recently because I didn't wanted to sound negative, but to be honest, I don't feel to be pregnant at all... I've no idea if a baby is really growing up inside me, and my bump is so small I'm not convinced it's a pregnancy bump (I could have eaten too much chocolate...)! I talked to my doctor about that and he said I should wait 20 weeks (in two weeks) in order to feel the baby moves, and then I'll realised what is really happening... Until that moment, I can't stop worrying about the baby, and I can't talk too much about this with DH as he is more involved in this pregnancy than me at the moment (can't stop touching my little bump, talking about babys names, diapers, etc...). It's a hard time, hopefully all will get better soon...!

Siarie · 15/09/2014 09:35

Morning Ladies,

Firstly and most importantly happy birthday cupcake!Thanks hope you've got some cake later to eat Smile.

steph and bears I know EXACTLY how you both feel. I have my private scan Thursday and am expecting them to say there is nothing in there anymore. I know it's illogical and the chances are that everything is going fine but until you get a nice bump I think it's so easy to think that. Remind me where you both are at weeks wise?

I'm feeling better today thank god, managed to eat half my breakfast. I was physical sick twice yesterday and ate hardly anything. Now I don't mind losing some weight as I am about a stone heavier than I used to be it does worry me when I don't eat.

I've decided to strike while the iron is hot and booked a beauty appointment for later today, need to get things sorted for my scan as it's an internal and I'm due my appointment now. I've heard waxing is a killer when pregnant due to extra blood flow, which will be funny as I am usually really still and calm haha.

How's everyone doing today? Xx

Cupcake92 · 15/09/2014 10:59

Thank youu!! :)

I baked cookies today for my bday! :D so ull make sure I eat all of those! :)

And sorry that I just ignore all the pregnancy questions etc. I'm not being rude or horrible, I'm just not ready atm to sort of talk about it and give advice. I keep just trying to avoid it lol. But I do hope u are all okay and hope ur babies are all healthy and happy. When i feel ready (which I'm guessing won't be till I get a bfp) I'll give advice and help :)
But sorry again, I'm honestly not being mean or rude! Thanks

Cupcake92 · 15/09/2014 11:06

Ooo also it said on this morning ... (As it's also prince Harry's birthday today) "who will marry Harry?" Ummm I would!!!! I'm surprised he's not. Married yet!

Me624 · 15/09/2014 16:06

I have slight cramps today Sad I don't normally get many symptoms for AF but I think this can only be a sign that she's coming. Oh well at least if she comes earlier than I thought (wasn't expecting until wed-fri) she'll be gone quicker and I won't be lumbered with her on my holiday.

21questions · 15/09/2014 21:09

Me that could be a good sign if its not an AF symptom you usually experience. Here's hoping for you.

Cupcake you dont need to explain yourself I'm sure everybody understands it must be difficult for you. How was your birthday, did you get your card in the end?
