Bellys to Bumps

[twinkle1975]

lovie - thanks for putting a positive spin on my frankly piggish behaviour - I'm very jealous of your Ikea trip - I love their meatballs! I have a recipe my Godmother gave me for Danish Frikedelle - very similar - I wonder of they'd have less points If I made them at home?

 

[Traskey]

Evening ladies, I hope you have all had a good day.

Mmmm, pain au chocolat, I love those things. Shame they are so many WW points though. I like Lovie's spin on it though, a cultural experience doesn't count. Nor do Ikea meatballs. I've heard they are yum but haven't tried them.

DH is being super good this week and cooking all his own meals so that I don't have to be around food. They are all cheat meals of course, but it's so nice of him to be so considerate when he knew i'd find it tough the first few days.

Good luck with the house viewing Lovie, let us know how you get on!

Evening ladies

Ive missed soooo much as ive not been on for a couple of days coz ive been revising so im not even goin to try and catch up coz id be here hours lol

Just want to say hope your all well

AFM i have been really open about TTC and alot of ppl know we are. I dont tell ppl until they ask. I think i just cant be bothered to lie most of the time. I have started to use gettin married as an excuse tho xx

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Well i feel like a wimp. . .

My dh is off work today, and should be registering and making an appointment at the docs. I know he said he would but tbh I wasn't so sure. Anyway, one of the men he works with (he works in a workshop where they fart all day and look at porn - proper boys place) asked him what he was doing today and he just told him the truth!! Well I believe he put it more along the lines of "I'm gonna go wank on a doctors face. . ." he's really not that gross usually!

I'm so proud of him - I asked him to be more involved with ttc and he's stepped up perfectly!

I kind of thoughed he wouldn't want me to tell my sisters or friends about all this, but clearly I have a much bigger issue than he does! My husband I ace!

On a more on topic note - it's WI Tuesday and I've lost 2 lbs! It's not quite the three I was hoping for but it's still a great result! It puts me on 13.0 st so hopefully I'll be in the 12s this time next week!!

 

[lovie]

hia all

little pixie thats a great loss, so close to 12st miss skinny mini your hubby sounds awsome, i think he has the right attitude, i think humour is the way to go when ttc!

twinkle i think they would have less points if you made them at home! youd actually use calories in the cooking process aswell hehe

lisa getting married is a great excuse!

trasky your hubby is ace aswell, doing all the cooking! the last thing you need to be doing is cookinga yummy dinner that you cant eat! the house had a rent on it aswell as the purchase price (håkan only realised this 10 mins before we were supposed to leave!) it was about 400 pounds a month rent but you owned the house, very odd! seden is like that we own the appartment but still pay rent. so we didnt go, but we went and did a quiz with some friends and that was fun

today i have work this afternoon and then meeting up with some english girls, i feel like af might come today my tummy is so crampy so i must remember to take some pads and painkillers with me!

hugs to you all xxx

 

[StrawberryTTC]

Good morning ladies!

Traskey I'm glad your dh is being so considerate! Mine might do the same, though he can't cook, so it'd just be ready-made dinners and take out and stuff.

Lil Pixie it's always great when our other halves surprise us in a good way! And yay for the 2 lbs.

lovie at least in Finland we always pay "rent" when you live in apartment building, even if you own the apartment, that goes toward maintaining the common areas like the hallway, possible laundry room, yard, etc and possible renovations needed. As for a house, it may also be a part of a larger whole with the same kind "rent", or perhaps it's a part-ownership thing, where you gradually buy the place for yourself, or just pay a % of its worth to live there, and then pay rent like described above? In all of those cases the "rent" you pay is much less than actual rent would be if someone else owned the apartment/house and rented it out to you.

AFM nothing much going on, fairly busy at work, which is good as it takes my mind off things. Having a hard time getting under 1300 calories per day, even 1300 is okay but I'd prefer to be around 1100-1200. Especially now as I've had to leave off the exercise due to my sore hip. But I've noticed that I don't get hungry as soon after eating, so that's a good sign!

 

[lovie]

good luck with keeping your calories down strawberry! 1300 is really good going!

i think it is pretty simalar in sweden, all apartments have rent, im not sure what the spend it on!! but most houses dont have rent, so it actually works out cheaper to live in a house as you save yourself the rent. it isnt very "lagom" (info for the english ladies -lagom is what sweeds espire to be, it means just enough, or adequet, not too much and not too little, so sports cars are not lagom, wearing a big flower in your hair is not lagom, raiding your voice in public is not lagum, talking to strangers is not lagom, and living in a house when you are just a couple is not lagom... the problem is that english people are not very lagom as a nation, especially me!) so even tho it would be cheaper or as expensive to live in a house all the couples we know and many of the families live in apartment, even with well paid jobs because they dont especially "need" a house. very ood imo!

Hi

Well sounds like everyones being v good, 1300 calories is great

Im being totally evil with food, just ate two clubs and a packet of crisps, but im going to the gym at 6pm so im sure thatll even it out NOT

My Knit your own dog book arrived today, im so excited. Totally stupid book but its going to be fun https://www.amazon.co.uk/Best-Show-Sally-Joanna-Osborne/dp/1843405733

 

[Traskey]

Evening everyone,

I hope you've all had a lovely day. It reached 17 C here today, gorgeous.

Lil Pixie, glad DH is being so supportive! Giving sperm samples can't be much fun for them, or aiming for the pot. Congratulations on the 2 lbs loss as well this week, that's fantastic

Lovie, I hope af stays away for you. Have a lovely afternoon with your friends.

Strawberry, sorry to hear that your hip is still giving you problems. 1100-1200 calories is not a lot so i'm not sure how you can keep cutting down further.

Cranberry, have fun at the gym tonight. You must take a pic of the dog when you've finished it. We want to see.

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Ladies have you ever had anything like this??

I have a pain in my lower tummy - just above my left hip. It's been there for at least a week I'd say, it feels like somethings trapped and I wasn't to move to ease it, but it doesn't help at all. It's not super painful, just bugging me. I don't think I've ever had it before.

Traskey I'm so glad your dh is being sp supportive! My dh is good with most things, but food is not one of them. If he didn't have any biscuits/chrisps he'd think he was dying!!

Cranberry don't worry too much about your little snacks - it's not so bad really, and with the gym it's almost like it never happened!!

Hope everyone has a lovely evening x

 

[cranberry987]

Hm above left hip sounds kinda bowelly. Not sure what cd you're on but post ov some say that digestion slows down so maybe that's it? I had similar painish feeling last cycle but it was around my left ovary and yours sounds higher.

I'd try a bit more roughage and maybe some senakot or something. And if it still there in another week or so go to the gp, you can bug them about fertility stuff while you're there hehe

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Haha that's true I could! it's not high it's really low - like just on my knicker Line. Urgh it's just odd - I think I'm about 7dpo today. Cd 28 (last cycle was 28 days - think this one will be 35 ish) I'm real not sure if I had it more than a week ago or not - I think I did.

What is roughage? Lol

 

[cranberry987]

Depends if you've got granny pants on tho

Roughage is fibre, fruit bread etc

 

[Traskey]

Not sure what that is Lil Pixie. I had that sharp pain last cycle but it was only one evening, not a whole week

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Ahh lol I eat lots of that

I think if it's still there after af I'll pay more attention. I've go to go to docs for a smear test soon anyway (I've been putting it off cos I'm scared )

Traskey I hope your mid week LL meeting goes well & hope everyone else has a lovely Wednesday x

 

[4magpies]

Hey girls, my op didn't go well, both my.tubes are fucked.

Getting referred for ivf in June so got until the to lose this last bit of weight (and more hoefully) more I lose, more chance of sucess.

In agony today, just wanted to update.

Xxx

 

[lovie]

awww 4 magpies im sorry it wasnt good news with the op I hope the pain goes away soon june will come really quickly xxx

lil pixie im not sure what the pain could be, i tend to get random tummy pain when im stressed, I hope it gets better soon. Dont worry at all about your smear, is it your 1st one? I went for my 1st one a year ago and i was thinking oh god i dont want to go! but it was absolutly fine, it didnt hurt, the lady was just really matter of fact about looking at my woowoo, i didnt feel embarrassed, and after i felt really releived that im all clear for 3 years

xxx

 

[StrawberryTTC]

Good morning ladies!

4magpies I'm really sorry. I'm sure you'll get that last 10lbs off in no time and get ivf and your baby really soon!

Lil pixie smear test is nothing to be afraid of, and you need to get it done regularly. I know it's not nice and can hurt a bit. I get one every two years. I hate going to the gyno, for whatever reason, but let's face it, if we get pregnant we'll have loads of people looking at our private bits and, well, in the end have a baby coming through there, so what's a little smear test eh? =) That's what I've told myself anyway.

AFM had a little too many calories yesterday, so determined to do better today. Hip still sore so no exercise. Hmph! Nothing new going on, really.

[Lisa84]

Helllloooo everyone!

Well i've done my exam now (and passed) so have well and truely put the books away and will be on BnB more now. Phew!!!

Traskey Thats fab that you hubby is being so supportive. My OH is stick thin and just eats crap constanty. He tries to be supportive but i think his love of curries tend to overpower that support lol

Strawberry Wowza lady 1100-1200 a day!!! How do you manage that? I wouldn't be able to so you are doing soooo well. Glad your body is starting to get used to it. Don't cut down too much tho or pretty soon you will just be eating an apple a day lol

Lill Pix Glad OH is ok with being open about the TTC process. We have always been open about it. I think everyone at his work now knows about the quality of his sperm lol Get your bum to the docs tho Missy and have that smear test. They are really important and i don't know what it is like where you live but here i had to have an up to date smear before i could start fertility treatment.

Magpies Big for you xxx I'm sooo sorry the op didn't go well FX for losing the extra weight before IVF gets here xxxxx

Lovie That mentality baffles we Definately wouldn't work in the UK would it haha Sod if ya need something. If ya want it and can afford it then why not! xx

AFM it's weigh in night tonight and i'm feeling fairly confident but ya just never know. I'll probably come away with a gain.

Right i'm off out now to enjoy the sun while it lasts xxx
