A group for TTC#1 and had more than one loss?

[Sooperhans]

Hi everyone...ntat ouch! I hope you are recovered from your procedure and I will be interested to hear your results. That's good you have found a potential place for Beach.

Hi Thurl, hope you are ok xx
Nicki how are you hun?

I've felt really anxious recently, had cold sweats in the night. Feeling out of sorts atm...hmm. think I'm thinking too far ahead about TTCing....there have been a few people around me announce pregnancy, including in my team at work. And I've been helping a friend who has recently told me about their losses. Combined with being a week into the 2ww, I think it has all been chipping away at me. For that reason, I think I might avoid temping for a little while, as my anxiety levels raised when I was doing that too. Just hoping it happens soon....sigh.
Xxx

thanks for all the supportive messages well i tested again last night 14dpo with an IC and still bfp it def a bit darker but still quite a bit lighter than the control line so just hoping and praying this one is sticking around!!

NTAT good luck with everything and you are very brave to go through such a procedure, I just about coped with a HSG I still shudder at the thought!

 

[Sooperhans]

Jfg that's great news! Have you got any appts lined up?

Oh, forgot to say....I got a bit of pink spotting yday, so that's got my mind whirring around today. Felt a bit of heaviness in my lower abdomen as well. But i know from previous months that it doesnt always mean what I want it to. Hopefully getting blood results tomo x

 

[BeachChica]

JFG - that's still great news! Have you tried testing in the morning? Its best to use FMU so its more concentrated.

Soop - that damn witch, don't you just hate her!! I am still keeping my fingers crossed that is an IB and not AF. I got some bleeding too on my last pregnancy. I thought for sure I was out but it was IB. FX for you!!!

 

[Sooperhans]

Thank you Beach, I hope it's IB!!!

 

[Nicki123]

Hello Soop :wave: I REALLY hope it's IB, that would be wonderful.

Jfg - ics take ages to go dark for me, sometimes I can have a really strong line on a frer but still faint on an ic. I'd try a better test if I was you. Fx!

Hi everyone else.

I'm doing well thanks. Am feeling very positive at the mo. DH and I have been talking about adoption some more and it's definitely what we want to do after one or two more tries. So have been feeling a bit more excited about the future.

 

[Sooperhans]

Thanks hun, me too....me too

That does sound positive, I hope either way you get a lovely little one, you really deserve one. See what happens, I have everything crossed xx

[Nicki123]

Hello to all the ladies in the US - beach, wooks, Emme, Ayclobes, Monro - just checking you're all ok and not in the path of hurricane Sandy? X

Monro - Just checked the fb page and see the guy was arrested for Homicide today. I hope the people in your town get some relief from that

 

[ayclobes]

Nicki - nope, i'm no where near the path of hurricane sandy! i'm in the midwest US. My step-brother and my sil are in NY--they're in manilus but i'm not exactly sure how close they are to syracuse NY..b/c when i checked the weather map, that area was in the RED. The same with my Esther (she's my step dads' mom..so i cant really call her a grandma?)

 

[thurl30]

Thurl - what's your diet secret, you seem to be losing it very quickly and I want me some of that!

 

[thurl30]

I'm following slimming world and I have a hot chocolate every night You're doing great, 26lb is loads, are you following any particular weight loss plan?

 

[NewToAllThis]

Just my own diet and using myfitnesspal to count calories really. Its taken me aaagggeees to lose it though (about 5 months as not lost anything this last month due to holidays). I have to be really strict and stick to my calorie allowance which is currently 1460. I just can't lose it quickly - what can I say, my body likes being fat

I tried slimming world in the run up to my wedding and it just didn't come off. Took me 9 months to lose 9lb - so I sacked it off and basically starved myself for the last couple of months.

You're doing really well - how long has it taken you to lose the stone?

 

[thurl30]

It's taken me 5 weeks but I have no doubt it will slow down very soon, do you get to exercise much? That's what I really lack, we just bought a cross trainer to make sure I do something because with the dark cold nights I will be even less motivated to get outside, weight loss is such a mission isn't it, but 26lb is so much

 

[thurl30]

Also, I go to this class called fit fans, it's basically a free 12 week weight loss programme, they suggested the best thing to do is have breakfast as early as possible, and divide lunch into 3 meals thoughout the day, I don't know if you do that now but it could be worth a try and they do claim it really speeds up weight loss x

 

[NewToAllThis]

5 weeks is excellent - well done!

No I don't do much exercise I'm not a fan and I don't have that much spare time (well I do, but I have to entertain my dog as can't leave him home alone too long), so the exercise I do do is dog walking. I take him on long walks but he doesn't walk too quickly as he's too busy sniffing

That's interesting about the early breakfast and divided lunch. I will give that a try as its obviously worked for you
I tend to take my breakfast to work and eat it about 9ish (I'm up before 7) so maybe I should eat breakfast at home, and snack through my lunch during the morning. Problem is, as I'm limited to calories, I find I'm not eating too much in general as otherwise I would have used my allowance up by teatime.
I have a Nature Valley bar/belvita biscuits for breakfast and a wrap/sandwich for lunch and nothing else until dinner.
I find I am at my hungriest at dinner time so like to leave around 800 calories to enable me to have a decent meal. I know your biggest meal should be early on, but I find I'm too hungry in the evenings.

Oh to be able to eat what I want and not put on weight

 

[thurl30]

Dog walking is really good, I did chuckle when you said he is too busy sniffing

To be honest I have no idea how many calories I eat but I reckon it's quite a lot, perhaps you don't eat enough? I have been told a few times that if I don't eat enough I will find it harder, I reckon there is some truth to that.

So has your doc told you to lose weight? They have said that to me, they won't give me any meds for my PCOS they just told me I have to lose weight, so frustrating

 

[NewToAllThis]

Oh yes, the good old doctor and the FS have both told me that if I want to qualify for IVF, my BMI has to be below 30. DH has a low sperm count, that's why we're eligible (see, its not even me with the issue here and they still look at me as if I'm )
My BMI is currently about 34 so I'm getting there slowly...

I know what you mean about not eating enough but I have struggled so much to lose it in the past and this calorie restriction has worked so far, that I'm scared to change things now. I need to lose another 24lb to get to my 'target' where the NHS will treat me.
I'm hoping I won't need the IVF but as there are some meds which I may need (oestrogen supplements for a thin lining) that I can't have either til my BMI is less than 30, I'm trying to lose it now, before I suddenly have oodles to lose and no time to lose it in iykwim.

 

[thurl30]

You're doing so well if it's working then don't change what you're doing, it would be awful to lose the momentum. I didn't realise the BMI limit was 30, I have miles to go until I get there, I really hope you won't need it though, I think it's really harsh they won't give you the supplements yet though with a BMI of 34, mine is quite alot higher than yours that might be why I'm losing quite quickly at the moment. Good luck with it hun, please keep me updated x
