@IPokeBadgers I hear your pain! I am 43 - started TTC at 40... had 9 treatments, 2 MCs and then wank stain FC told me they would not treat me anymore unless I lost weight. I changed clinics, lost the weight and waited for divine scientific intervention. Kwicklet is now 22 weeks. I am still very anxious I will have another MC but am 🤞🏼🤞🏼
I would hate to see anyone give up their TTC dream.

@RiskIt4Biscuit where do you procure the Alpha-H?

Wowzers @PurpleNailVarnish - you are doing so well!!!

Happy Friday everyone!!!!

@Experiment627 I get Alpha-H from Cultbeauty or M&S. I tend to only buy it when on offer.
Cultbeauty currently have a set of two 100ml bottles for the price of one: www.cultbeauty.co.uk/alpha-h-liquid-gold-duo-worth-67.html

It's not that I'm doing well experiment but that we've got so many half empties to use up, thanks to DDs.

How are you?
22 weeks is great. You'll be grand, keep taking care of yourself lovely .

Don't worry another when the zombie apocalypse does happen I'll swap you some of my fancy shampoo for your body moisturisers. That way you'll have apocalyptically swishy hair and hopefully I'll be moisturised enough to slip out of their hands and evade capture.
I hope all goes well for your friend, at 50 she is older than me and DH and we're empty nesters with a bathroom full of half empty bottles.
It's funny how life turns out.

strike out fail there, but you get the gist.

Finished a burst bees lip balm yesterday. So am back on my preferred carmex.

kwick 22 weeks?! How did that happen?! That’s gone fast! Do you know what you’re having? I’m guessing you’ve reached the “holy moly I’ve got a ton of energy now” phase?!

Pretty sure you’re exactly where I was this time last year. Exciting times.

Good luck to all of you ttc xx

Should I be preparing for a Zombie apocalypse? 😬

I have an empty:

• Radox pink grapefruit and basil shower gel: not bad for £1!!!

@ememem84 where is this energy of which you speak? . No energy but an desperately trying to declutter and get flat in order. So I had better get up off the sofa and do just that!!!!!

Have a great weekend everyone!

I have an empty:

• Palmers Foot Magic scrub: did not like smell, do not usually get scrubs. This was a gift.

It’ll come. The energy will come. As will the not sleeping because you can’t get comfy and you have to pee all the god damm time.

So you have a full body pillow? If not get one. Towards the end I could have happily married my pillow.

Can I join. Please
I have a totally ridiculous amount of stuff that I don’t need, and I need to use up before I buy anything else.

There’s at least 6 half empty bottles of shampoo under the sink....and don’t even start me on the hand lotion. I need an intervention of sorts.

My dp and I are talking about living together, and I cannot move all this stuff, so I am going to start using it, and saving the money that I am not spending on it on something lovely and expensive for me!

A wee empty. Delighted to be done with this. It was fine, had it as an in shower face wash , but it has been never ending, as all products tend to be when you aren't that fussed on something!

Hi all I've been doing rubbish and it's just got worse- ordered some new bras from m&s and yes have bought the bloody summer box 🙄

I have finally finished a Kérastase Discipline Fondant Fluidealiste conditioner.
I have a little bit of the shampoo left - hopefully I'll be done with it soon!
The products are nice enough, but I'm just not loving them, and they make my hair greasy really quickly.
I've been using them after swimming, and I cannot wait to get something else. The bottles are so bulky as well, which is annoying.

I binned a Giorgio Armani blush the other day - it was very light pink with quite large darker glittery bits in.
It didn't work as a highlighter and didn't work as a blusher, so I never reached for it - and when I did, I just got annoyed with it. It was also very old, so it was time for it to go.
On a positive note, I know what not to buy again :)

Also got rid of some old Paula's Choice products - a retinol product and some other product with salicylic acid in, both not recommended during pregnancy. I didn't really rate them, and had completely forgotten I had them, so no point in keeping them.

I've fallen off the wagon - I succumbed to the M&S gift box. I do have an empty though - glycerin and rosewater. It doesn't offset the huge box of stuff though!

Would that be this box? That I'm just about to open? 😂😂😂😂

I have another empty:
Dove moisture rescue conditioner

Had it for about 2 years on the trot so it was time.

Ipokebadgers - that's the one. It looks great! I'll use everything except for the hair products which I'll give to my niece.

Apples I'm really impressed by the value in this box

I. Want. That. Box.

But must not.

I treated myself to a gel pedicure today. Turquoise glitter toes now. Yay.

Almost done with my night cream.

I haven’t been taking care of myself properly so have let my routine fall down. Must pick this up again.

Ooo I’ve seen that box....
managed to finish a lipstick (small sample of bare minerals liquid lipstick but still!) and that is a huge deal for me!
Nearly there with 21 by midsummer except for stupid foot powder. I mean who needs that hassle in their life!?!
Hi Huck. Welcome. You’re among friends!

The last time I was on this thread I was very impressed nobody even mentioned THAT box.
I got mine delivered earlier this week, very impressed.

Another 2 empties for me:
Garnier honey cleansing milk
Olay 3point serum

The honey milk cleanser is brill, good thing that I bought 2 when i did as its being discontinued.

The olay stuff is so so

Ok, I am 16 down in my 21 by Midsummer.
5 more to go.....one last push!

@HuckfromScandal welcome to the sisterhood!
BTW love your username. I gave up on Scandal after the fake prison thing but Huck was always one of my favs.

I have an empty!!!!

• Superdrug Simply Pure hydrating serum (day): will repurchase no doubt but first want to try the Lush Grace serum

The problem with this thread, is that you are all talking about stuff and I go.....ooooo.....that sounds good.

I used up a travel body wash over the weekend, and a freebie conditioner.

I have tidied up all my products to one place, or two or three places 😱😱, and will buy nothing else.

I am avoiding Markies, but I can’t see anything I want to spend £40 on, so I think it will be ok.
Happy Monday everyone 🙂

Hi all! I've been AWOL again, sorry!
Been a bit distracted as I've found out I'm pregnant... so I'll need some tips experiment! It's very early days but keeping my fingers crossed for a sticky one.
Really really sorry for another baby bomb though ipoke. Don't give up hope. I'll send you all the baby dust I can. It's taken us ages - I think I've actually spoken to you about it on the conception boards but under another username. You'll get there I'm sure. We had just decided to give up (I wanted to have some other medical treatment that meant we wouldn't be able to TTC for a while) when it happened. Such a cliche, I know...

I've used lots of empties but forgotten most.
Eyeko mascara in silver tube - really liked this.
Gatineau advanced rejuvenating cream, lovely texture but a bit rich for my skin really so I wouldn't repurchase.
Caudilie vinoperfect serum, really liked this. Was the nicest to use serum I've tried. I would repurchase but to be honest I still don't really see the point of serums.
I'm sorry to say that an m&s box might have arrived today. Don't know where that came from. Oops...
Got a few nearly empties so watch this space!
