I don't really know. Loss has slowed down as I knew it would. They didn't tell me how much they wanted me to lose. I don't know what will make them happy
 
Even if it slowed down Braven 11lbs lost in the time it took you is amazing! Nobody can knock you for that and my guess is that they will be delighted with how well you have done! Feel proud of your achievement - it will keep coming off, it just takes time... :hugs:

I on the other hand have gained 4 1/2 lbs :( So depressing....although my own fault as I have been feeling super hungry the past week and eating more than I normally do (although not horrendous)... Still it's the last thing I need after doing so well and of course don't want to start the Christmas season already over weight!!

How is everyone else doing?

AFM: Just got back Day 3 blood tests back and all good and within normal range. FSH was 7.6 with a normal range for this time of cycle being 3.5 - 12.5, and LH was 4.1 with a normal range again at this time being 2.4 - 12.6. I haven't done any research on it yet but I like the word "normal"!!!

It's definitely a relief cause with all of the night sweats I have been having I was a little nervous that things were changing.... Weirdly this cycle again I have been getting way more creamy CM than I used to get - before I got barely anything! I totally can't keep up with my body! :wacko:
 
Nope... at least not that I know of :( I thought they would do that with this test but I guess not. Kind of frustrating as wish I knew what it was at. I guess they will test that in Jan.....
 
It was one of the last tests I had done too. But it's a good sign that all your other levels are good!
 
Braven nobody can knock your efforts 11 lb and maybe a few more in the next couple of weeks isn't to be dismissed. There has to be a limit to what they expect you to loose in such a short space of time. I hope this doesn't depress you but my clinic won't start treatment if a lady has a BMI over 30. But what they do is weigh at first appointment knowing that it takes a few months for them to do the various tests and will check where ladies are when they are ready to start.

Orchard accept all is fine with normal.

Lanet how are you doing? I take it all is still going ok. Have you started getting your nursery sorted.

Hello everyone else.
 
Braven - you walk in that clinic with your head held high - they are the ones that should be freaking embarrased and humiliated... You are making positive changes and you have nothing to be ashamed about - ugh I hate this for you!!! :growlmad::growlmad::growlmad:

orchid - loving those test results!! wooohooo for normal!!!and I gain four pounds it seems with the :witch: is here... so don't worry about that - once baby 2 gets here - then worry about slimming down and toning up ! until then :icecream::icecream: :hugs:

tommy - one of those doggies pooped in the house this morning - but it was my fault I was trying to squeeze in one more thing before taking them out... so I guess I shouldn't be too mad... but jeez I wish they wouldn't do that stuff - they are so bad!!! :haha:

:hi: cali

good luck to all you mommas trying to figure out all those gifts for your wee ones... I am buying for 18 and 23... I tell them go make a wish list on amazon... sooooooooooooo much easier and they actually get what they want...



AFM: 11 DPO and woke up with two white heads on my chin WTF??? when i was younger that was a sure sign of the :witch:... so its made me irritable this morning... (great another :witch: sign:haha:)
damn... I was so hopeful - freaking clomid!! gets those hopes up... but no testing still... I am going to pack AF supplies for the weekend - FF says she should show up Monday - but I want to be prepared in case - I am thinking I will leave the HPT's at home and if I make it all the way to Sunday night without spotting or her arrival..then I will test... but ladies the way I feel right now - those tests are safe this time around...:growlmad:
Today is my Friday - tomorrow morning I will sitting waiting for a deer to show up... yeah three days off - for me hunting guarantees a nap in the middle of the day!!! whoopeee!!! :happydance:
 
Tommy im doing ok but suffering so terribly from restless legs. It's so bad that I get maybe 1 hour total of sleep a night:(
 
Lanet - UGH is there anything your OB can do to help with those legs??? I am so grouchy when I don't sleep -
what about sleeping in a recliner or something - would that help???:hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs:
 
Recliner wouldn't help bc they start when I'm sitting up on the couch in the evening. It sens not much can be done in pregnancy but I can't keep up like this with no sleep. I just want to cry and scream in the middle of the night. I can't take naps either, any time I relax they get restless and start spasming
 
Thanks for the encouragement guys. I really appreciate it. I can't say it's been easy with the approaching holidays and it slowing down significantly. I'm enjoying making /finding alternate healthy versions of what we already enjoy. I just still feel like, I don't know. Embarrassed that I've got to get a weigh in. And if they're not happy with it, due to the insurance issue, next month is really the only shot we've got. And Tommy I'd never get any help if I had to be below 30 bmi, goodness.
 
Hay every ounce off is better than an ounce on. Hope they are happy with what you have lost.
 
Hello, everyone. I'm going a tad crazy this cycle. I'm on CD 41!!! I rarely have cycles so long. I'm angry because somehow, even though I only had sex once this cycle, I'm wondering what if??? My plan is to go buy a test and take it in the morning. If it's negative, I'm drinking a bottle of wine, lol! I am so sick of this! Plus, I've been tired and moody lately, but those are classic PMS symptoms for me.
 
MomwithBabes are your cycles normally fairly regular?
Have you been stressing about anything that could delay your cycle?

AFM the witch is back in town - arrived late tonight - will call the clinic on Monday. IUI round 2 take 2 coming up (hopefully).

How is everybody Wish you off shooting?
 
Yes, my cycles usually are pretty normal. I have had weird cycles like this every now and then. I haven't been overly stressed, though. I hate to hear AF has arrived for you.
 
Don't feel bad for me I'm Happy. How many times have I said that so I can start the next round? . My iui cycle was abandoned this month far too many follicles so the risk of multiples was just too much. I was sorely tempted to try naturally but decided that I would hate to have to reduce numbers if I ended up with more than 2.

For you Mrs I'd test. You just never know what stranger things have happened.
 
I tested this morning and of course, BFN. I have no clue what's going on with my body. I'm so tired of this. I had two dreams last night that I got BFP's, so I woke up maybe a little hopeful. Sigh.

Tommy: That's right. I completely forgot about your situation. I admire your strength to do what's best, even though you want a baby so badly. I hope this cycle is the one.
 
MomwithBabes sorry it was a BFN especially when you are normally so regular. I have to say the biggest advantage of being irregular is I just never get my hopes up for natural cycles.
Let's hope your next cycle is better.
 
It's gone all quiet on here. However I'm good to go with IUI round 2.

How is everybody else?
Wish did you manage to shoot much at the weekend?

Excuse my American geography but are any of you ladies being affected by the horrendous snow? Hope you are all ok.
 
YAY tommy!!! I am so glad to hear that you are rolling foward with IUI number 2!!!! :happydance::happydance:

momwithbabies - so sorry for the screwy cycle and the BFN :( I hate it when the body plays around!!! :growlmad:

:hi: orchard - Hope all is well with you!! :hugs2:

:howdy: Lanet - I sure hope you have gotten some sleep lady... nothing worse than not sleeping!!! how are your babies??? is the nursery all set up??? Happy 24 weeks!!!

:hi: eyemom - hope you are getting some sleep with the new princess in the house!!! :flower:

:howdy: Braven hope the weight loss is continuing on for you!!! :hugs:

Hi to everyone else!!

AFM: no Tommy no where near all that snow THANK GOODNESS!!! Just cold weather here... the other day when my hair froze it was 13 degrees Farenheight or however you spell that... I forget that different countries use celsius etc... when I was in Canada I never knew what temp it was going to be :haha:

and i didn't even shoot my gun this weekend... nothing to shoot at... bummer!

waiting for AF to arrive in full force - she is playing around - spotting here n there - having cramps temps have dropped - I just wish she would get on with it - the first two days are always the worst with cramps and all...plus I have to call the doctor to get my next clomid prescription...

clomid sure does make one hopeful... hate that sometimes... just wish I could be one of those ladies that suddenly find out they are preg and they are 8 weeks along! ha never happen to me!!!

hope everyone is doing well - I will be taking my oldest DD to her new apartment in GEORGIA (about 12 hours from mom) she starts her new job on 1 December... how quickly time flies.... :cry: but I know she will do well and she will be ok...
