UNLEASHING THE BEAST!
Meant to say about the Preg tests, depends at what level they start to read the HCG in your urine, some will start at 5-10mIU, and some wont pick up til 20. The lower the range they pick up at, the earlier you'll see a result.
I got a good batch from ebay, about 20 for £2 plus p&p, but had run out day I found out I was pregnant so picked up a couple of Rowlands Chemist's own. Then a clear blue digital.
Looking back I suppose I have no idea if they were sound tests from ebay or not, but the range they pick up at is quite low, so perhaps worth investigating if you are starting ttc.

UNLEASHING THE BEAST!
My mum clocked them on special at Asda, She bulk bought. I have enough to get me all through the 9 months. She meant well but still. . .
That was one of those times when no-one listens to a word I say about pregnancy and baby. "I don't need anymore" (as was planning to get the omega 3 ones) and she just went and did it anyway. "Don't buy anything else in for baby I've no room" and she goes and buys in stuff I don't need, top and tail bowls, baby breathing monitors to monitor for apnea, baby carriers, baby grooming sets. "No I'm fine I don't feel sick" apparently a lie, "No I'm walking to the shops" I'm over doing it.
I get they (grandmothers) are excited but can they no just listen to me? I'm not saying it to be horrible but I don't need have the stuff they're buying in and it's really stressing me out.
I'm getting to the stage where I'm circling depression because I can't exercise the way I used to, running, roller derby etc, my 'friends' for the large part seem to think being pregnant means you don't want to go to club nights or go out past 7pm, I feel like no-one listens to me and to top it all off I'm stressing about all this stuff people are buyign that frankly they can't afford and I don't need. I spend most of my time telling my mum to take things back that I don't want or wont use.
She bought a grooming set with a nasal aspirator, problem being it won't fit up a baby's nostril, it would barely fit up mines! "But its from Mothercare!" I don't care where its from stop buying stuff.
The top and tail bowl nearly sent me over the edge, as apparently YEARS that I spent washing patients in bed, has not prepared me for not mixing up the face and a**e water when washing a baby. My explanation washing the face first didn't fly.
This was after the baby apnea monitor which she bought because "it will alarm if the baby dies" (I'm not joking) I said they also alarm if the clip comes off, if baby moves off the mat etc so I'd be paranoid everytime I hear the alarm so i won't be using it. "Well, I'll just keep it here"
She's went and kitted out a full nursery in her spare room, and baby's not even here yet, for when "they stay over" tried explaining that won't be for MONTHS, so she's about a year too early. "well it's there anyway"
ARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHH!
Sorry for the rant but I needed to vent

LOL

It's like you stop being an autonomous person and become this dainty wee thing that's incapable of making decisions or has any semblence of a personality beyond being a hormone fuelled mess.
I don't regret being pregnant for a minute, but part of me wishes I could still hide it so people wouldn't treat me quite *so* differently.
I promise I will be in a better mood tomorrow,. Honest!

So yea now I'm lost as I have only just started monitoring my bbt and have had 1 period since coming off the pill that lasted 12 days.

I havent really been tracking properly either and havent a clue where I am.
All I know is that since stopping cerazette in Nov, I have had 2 periods, (late Jan and late Feb) but havent had one now for nearly 6 weeks!
Yet, have had three negative tests (2 last week, one this morning).
I need to do some biology homework I think...

Blimey Lexie! I'm not surprised you are blowing a gasket! It sounds like you are being suffocated :hug99:
Could you write them a letter explaining how smothered & unheard you are feeling? If they don't listen to you when you talk maybe they will in writing? It might help by getting all your thoughts out- also you can write everything you want rather than forgetting some of it while you're talking. You can be assertive without being horrible and maybe they might actually realise how much it is upsetting you?
Hope you're feeling a bit better today
Hope everyone else is well and happy :hug99:

Lexie - sorry to hear about the trouble you've been having, I guess you've got to either blissfully ignore it or put your foot down. I know both are easier said than done but you can't let them take the enjoyment of pregnancy away from you - you need to relax and take on the experience without this stress.
I worried a bit what my MIL would be like, but as my SIL has just had a baby, I think the pressure has been taken off me a bit and to be fair, she is very good and allows us to be very independant.
Sadly I lost my Mum 5 years ago (almost to the day - it'll be 5 years tomorrow) and I am really struggling with the fact she's not around, especially as I'm an only child.
Plus I've got a wierd relationship with my Dad and I'm not sure he's really going to be there for us once the baby comes. And this isn't unfounded - we visited him for a long weekend last weekend and he didn't ask one thing about me or the baby. In fact he'd even bought wine for me to drink and had just spent £2000 on a beach buggy (he's already got 3 VW campers) when we're struggling for cash. I don't really expect anything financially, but considering this is his first (and probably only) Grandchild, I was kind of hoping he might offer to help.
Doesn't help that he lives at the opposite end of the country.
Oooh sorry didn't expect that to turn into a bit of a rant.
Families eh!!

That's a really good idea - something I never think about. Letters are great as you can truly get all your feelings out, certainly worth a try Lexie if what you're saying simply isn't getting through

Nah- letters, talking, naked protests, none of it will work. Just going to have to ride it out till they all calm down. Thanks for the suggestion though .
Its their first grandchild either side, husband is an only child so its just excitement misdirected as pressure.
I get it, it doesn't stop it being frustrating though. Most of the time I try to let it go in one ear and out the other, MIL nags me senseless about "nipple conditioning", weaning, cleaning bogeys, and about how "left out she'll feel because she's not the mums mum" etc and my mums buying out half of Mothercare on her overdraft and I'm in a one bedroom flat we're trying to sell so have no room.
Feeling more chipper today so heading for a shower, walk and then lunch.
Speak to you all later and hope you all have a great day.

Families............can't live with em , can't live without them! lol
All is good atm, hot water n lemon seems to be working for the constipation thank god, will carry on drinking it as its suppose to be good for flushing out toxins or something? I don't know!
Getting use to the nausea now, eating tends to keep it at bay so making sure i've got loads of SW friendly snacks such as fruit, eggs, low syn crisps, ff noodles, crackers.
Had a lovely manicure/pedicure off my friend last night followed by a creme egg..............lovely treat!
Hope everyone and bumps ok xx

Hi mandy! I was on cerazette too and came off last Monday but I had started period on the Friday before hand so I kno it wasn't a propper period. With all cerazette stories I decided to monitor my basal body temperature daily and and other signs. Have an app on my iPhone or there is their website fertilityfriend.com which is really good and charts ur temp readings and there are tutorials so u understand what ur looking at.
Am wondering whether to get ov sticks to see when I ovulate especialy as had unprotected today.... Just so I can look out for pregnancy symptoms

I'm not happy - my nausea and tiredness seems to have returned after feeling great for a week and a half.
It better not last - I need energy for the weekend!! I've got lots of shopping and haircut on Saturday before a wedding in the evening.
Then Sunday I've arranged a surprise birthday party for my hubby's 30th so that'll be a crazy afternoon! Can't wait though - he hasn't got a clue!

Hi ladies! How are you all doing?! Sorry I've been AWOL, been busy with the little one. Unfortunately SW has flown out the window, I'm exclusively breastfeeding and eating like a truck driver! I'm joining a group near me on Wednesday though, need to lose a stone now sigh... My little girl is doing very well, she's started laughing and commando crawling now at 7 weeks! She also learned to roll over at 5 weeks (front to back though). Thought I'd share a few pics with you!
