Threelittlemen - Sorry ph strips didnt get to you in time. Shame we cant fax things! Was just a quick post to send the pic of PHion chart for you. But I guess i'm too late. I have my FX for you.

Sorry just a quick pop in DS are really giving me the run around this morning, will try and catch up later.

Love my sonds no worries - I tried to use my didgital ph monitor but as it wouldn'y calibrate i dont think i have much of a chance it said my PH was about 5.3 i couldn't budge it no matter what i did even with lime douche, the litmus paper strips were really hard to read and didn't realy chnaged but if i was pushed i would say 5.5.  So this am i chcekd with didital again and it said 6.5 so i did replens and then it only changed to 5.8 so i did again and tested with litmus paper and it chnaged to less than 3.8 eekkk so i think i may have killed them all based on what i was doing.  And to top it all off not sured if i messed up timing anyway as this am initially no cm but then after replens i did have some and now cervix feels medium one side of it feels super squishy and the other side firm so no what, i said to DH maybe we should just DTD tonight anyway just in case and i will do one douche of lime and then use replens, I think i am on course for another yeast infection! 

Temp did rise this am i took two the first was after a very restless nights sleep and i was cold and it rose from 36-36.1 so i wnt back to bed for a couple of hours and nodded and kept warm and my temp was 36.4 dont know which one to use the 36.4 would confirm o and i'm sick of al the douching, gonna do the odd replens maybe later now and just try to forget all about it!  I do want to be pregnant and am already worried i have killed them all cause i dont know what my PH is, hopefully those PH strips will arrive to day and i can check properly, but i feel if i have conceived i will have 4th boy on the way at least he already has a name Zac

You must be exhausted, all this swaying is tiring at the best of times. Its sounds like you made the best with what you had. I would DTD tonight too, you never know! I really hope they get there today, they should do. Really hoping you dont get another YI.

With your temps what time do you normally take them? and what time did you take those 2?

Well my DS1 & DS2 are in bed already..... They're both really tired and REALLY naughty. I'm having a bad day and its only 10:40. Its days like today make me wonder if DC 3 is a good idea. DH is at work, ive been spending most weekends on my own as DS have had chicken pox. Hopefully things will get better soon. Also I have come off the IG diet and i'm loosely going by the TWT. But i'm so tired all the time. I don't know how long I can do this, I'm getting what im assuming are sugar lows when I'm shaking, wobbly and feel like im going to faint. Which can't be good for me. Does anybody else have this?

How is everyone else?

Sorry your little men are taking it out of you today, mine are so far being fairly well behaved but i think that may be down to the XBOX i hate it but DH introduced it and DS1 and DS2 are hooked!!  The ph strips arrived so thanks i will go and test once DS3 is down for his afternoon nap and hopefully all will be well, think we may well DTD tonight if i'm passed Othen its not gonna do me any harm, all cramps have ceased now so i suspect I'm done for this mth. 

I think you are having sugar lows you need to look after yourself especially if you feel faint you have two little ones to look after!

HI girls tlm i hope your attempt has worked i guess you are in the tww fx for uxx

what a terrible day i could kill my 3 today they have been a nightmare but with this weather they have been in all day i hate days like this and its not as if I can sit down tonight and have a chinese with a bar of chocalate!! I dont know about everyone else but being on this diet really depresses me especially on the weekend. well at least the weight is falling off me. Hope everyone is well c u later xx 

Cars so know what you mean about the diet, today after bakin gooey choc chip cookies with my boys i had a tastless homemade scone with a some cream and horrible diabetic jam but to me thas a treat now!  What i would give for a glass of wine, big choc dessert and nice big pizza!!!

Well I have been very naughty and went out for a curry with tomatoes in and lots of greesy fatty yummyness. I find that with the IG diet I just become so disinterested in food and eating. I skip breakfast and don't miss it. When I think of eating chicken and rice I really could just stop eating altogether.Then when I eat something nice (like half a pear) I feel so guilty I wish I haddn't. I hope I lose more weight this week at weight watchers - at least thats a good focus for me. Not so good for all you slim girls (I wish I had that problem!)

Love My Sond - that dosen't sound good if you feel faint. I would eat a bit more if I was you. Maybe get some craisons in as they are full of suger and good for the PH. You could try to snack on them. Or eat more pasta as it is good for slow release of sugars. Have your biggest meal at lnch time? You don't want to let your blood sugars dip too low for too long. I know it's good for TTC pink but it's not good for your health. You will be nodding off in the day soon!

morn girls,

TLM- fingers crossed for you!! the lime douches are horrible, im wondering if thats what stopping us all get pregnant, i think this next time im only going to use my aci jel, i didnt check ph every half hour in cup as i feel like my insides are gona come out with it every time i take it out!! well ff has now marked ov on my chart and looks like now as it came later this mth, i have a 2 and 1 day cut off, blast!!!!! and all my pre temps were low this cycle, and that means it was a boy cycle doesnt it?????[:'(]

Love my sond, my lovely 3, seem to be off the wall at the moment, and we havent even started the holidays yet, its gona be a nitemare!! as re the diet, yeah you really shouldnt be feeling like that, some how must keep that sugar level up,

good luck to all you ladies this mth

 I totally agree about the lime douche - it gave me the worst YI Ihave ever had! Im NEVER doing it again! I just used repHresh as a lube ....

Im 7dpo today and not really feeling anything......I felt really sick in bed last night but there are so many bugs doing the rounds here at the mo. My temp climbed a bit more this morning......but it is following my normal pattern so there isnt anything different I can read anything in to!

Cottontales it happens that we are a few days apart again i think i am 1 or 2 dpo today, my testing day will prob be friday 24th July at 13/14dpo.  FF isn't going to give me DPO or cross lines as it still thinks my O date was CD25, i'm wondering wether to take out all the info from earlier in the cycle and see if it gives me cross lines later on. I am so unsire of my timing the first time we DTD it was 36hrs after the first +OPK and 24hrs after the digital (done the same day one am and one pm) and the second time we DTD was the next night, so i figure we either caught O+12 the first night or we DTD right before O and then O+12 last night. 

I'm glad its over for now as i dont think my cervix could take much more, last night i didn't douche any where near as much and ph didn't raelly go down very well, the highest combined ph was 6.5 and the lowest i got it to was 5.5.  Ah well i think i just want to be preg as i cant cope with these long cycles so i'm praying for a BFP!!! Cottontales when will you test.

I'm thinking that after i have my three consecutive rises confirming Ovulation i might stop taking my temp as i will start to obsess over evry little dip or rise and then i may start taking it again on the thurs before i test on the friday who knows i just hate this waiting period!

My 3 boys are also playing up a little at the min, its like i have fed them nothing but fizzy drinks and sugar they are very hyper, and don't seem to be able to calm down, and DS3 is dribing me mad he is such a little clingy monkey, he wont leave my side he just whinges and says mummy up, mummy up, until i pick him up where he will happily stay all day, i cant even go to the loo!!!

How many are there of us in the 2ww it seems there are quite a few, Indigo, Nic and Idlovepink i think are the furthest on aren't you all 7DPO and then cottontales and then me, wow thats a potential 5 BFP's this mth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 How funny! That sounds EXACTLY like my little man!! Drives me mad when I can't do anything for myself. The only reason I'm on IG is that he's having his nap.
