I am so so so angry I could cry AngryAngryAngryAngryAngryAngryAngryAngry

I spent all day asking h to mop kitchen floor (the one thing I have asked him to do) he eventually says he's done it, I go in and the floor is disgusting... He hadn't done it, so I went to go and do it, leaving ds in his Moses basket in the lounge, h was watching telly... Came back in to find h super glueing something with all doors and windows closed and the smell was ridiculous. I went light headed AngryAngryAngryAngryAngry I went mad and ran round opening all the windows and doors. Am now sitting by an open window with ds wrapped up.

What the actual fuck is wrong with people Confused

Cupcake92 · 14/12/2014 15:20

Lulu I'm sure it'll pass once baby is here. Must be awful feeling like that Flowers

And 21 I think once u get a smiley it stays there for a few days so u can't actually test again? Mine stayed about 2 days on the screen when I did it.

Ducky that's rele silly of H to superglue when DS is there! I hope u gave him a good telling off!!

I am feeling much better today! The AC worked last night so I managed to sleep. Sadly I'm not joking about the price, so it's really bloody annoying that they haven't sorted it out until now just lucky it's only stopped working in the evenings a few times.

Last day today as we fly back tomorrow, pregnancy tiredness could be used as a form of torture!

Oh Ducky! I think men do cleaning badly so they don't get asked again Hmm. So I've been meaning to ask, how would you rate child birth? Perhaps up until your little one got stuck lol!

Lulu not long to go, try and hold the rage in lol big deep breaths!

It must be an amazing place for that money Siarie Shock You really wouldn't expect problems with the ac that's for sure.

Ducky hope you are ok now and Dh is helping you.

It has gone from the screen cupcake. I did an ic opk after and it was positive so it must have been right. It does say in the instructions to stop testing now though. It's not the dual hormone one I'm using just the normal one without flashing smilies. I'm supposed to be trialing the stork thingie so might try later on if dh is up to it Confused

Ducky23 · 14/12/2014 17:10

That's a hard one siarie, I think given the circumstances if my last birth and it being an induction, it's kind of hard to say. It was frustrating as I wasn't allowed to leave hospital the whole time. Sounds strange but my favorite bit was when the epidural wore off because I had no choice but to do it myself and I felt proud Smile but then it all seemed to go mental with the crash teams and episiotomy (sp?) and ds being whisked away which caused me so much distress.

Due to the cuts aswell I was unable to stand/sit/walk the day after even with pain releif. I was stuck in a wheel chair propped up in an awful position with loads of cushions but I got a beautiful beautiful son from it all who I am IN LOVE with Smile

LuluJakey1 · 14/12/2014 20:03

Ducky, I despair at your DH. I don't know what to say except your DS is lucky he has you as his mum.

We have had a nice afternoon. DH said he was putting the decorations up and I got involved and we just had a lovely time together, reminiscing about some of them and putting ones that were my mum's up too. He hoovered up and we have opened a bottle of champagne and I have had two half glasses with fresh orange juice in it.

Then we sat at the table and wrote the cards we send- we only send them to close family and close friends, and he gave me my card which made me cry. I am so sorry I am horrible at the moment and what he wrote in the card was just so loving.

Anyway, pizza in the oven and all is well in our little world tonight. Long may it last.

LuluJakey1 · 14/12/2014 20:05

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

Purplelilly · 15/12/2014 19:02

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.

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

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.

LuluJakey1 · 15/12/2014 20:04

2 days not 2 1/2!

still awaiting bfp here Hmm im just over midway into cycle 13 now Confused having some issues with my cb ovulation testing but finished the trial, received 30 ovulation tests as a thank you!

hope everyone else is well Smile

Purplelilly · 15/12/2014 20:44

Thanks again Ducky :)

Congratulations Tori!!

LuluJakey1 · 15/12/2014 22:52

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.

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.

Cupcake92 · 16/12/2014 08:14

Hi Iam! Nice to see u back! :) and i do hope u get that BFP this month!!! Grin

Lulu so glad u and DH are back on track!! :) that's brilliant! And yep I think ur having braxton hicks! :) exciting!

And tori and Lulu as for having another baby.... I must be mad! Grin im on my 2nd and DH has told me he wants 3!!!!! GrinGrinGrin im not sure I could handle 3!! Shock it's been tough trying to get number 2 let alone 3. I hope he decides once DC2 is here he doesn't want 3 Grin
