I missed it, we were watching the new Harry Potter. I'll catch the repeat tomorrow hopefully

 

[Tarkwa]

Cran, you have such a LOVELY voice, with just a touch of West Country . Its sooooo much smoother than the other interpreters on the show (one sounded really young and squarky). As soon as I heard it I knew it was you (silly I know as I've never met you and only seen a photo on FB), but I just knew. Watched the Welsh wedding again on Living +1!!!

Good morning ladies!

cranberry congrats.

Nothing new here, just waiting for af. My lp has varied between 11-14 days in the past (though the 14 has either been on progesterone or the one cycle right after using it), so it's quite normal for her to make me wait a bit. Feeling she's coming, though.

 

[Traskey]

Good morning everyone

I too am waiting for af. I've got lots of strong pains for the last two days so I just wish she'd blooming hurry up and get on with it. Had my first weight gain Only a pound. I think it must be due to af, it'll go again.

Traskey, I remember you saying that you didnt drink much water one day - you know that if you dont drink enough you actually retain water like a camel? Your body thinks its a drought. so get drinking and that might actually help with the af water retention.

You know youre doing it right tho, youre eating what youre supposed to and you had a LOVELY loss last week so maybe you had just lost a bit too much water and its coming back on now? All in all tho youre down by loads so keep at it, youre doing great

 

[Traskey]

Thanks Cranberry

I am chugging away at it today. I've had 700ml already this morning and onto the second lot. I feel thirsty so I must need it, although I drank 2.5 litres yesterday. Are you having a relaxing day at home today?

 

[cranberry987]

"working from home" ie, sitting on the computer. Im working for a video relay service and its just stupidly quiet today, no ones calling as its easter and everyones on holiday in cornwall

If you took some dandilion root/pills would that affect your diet? theyre great for water retention around af issues. and good for dieting in general i think, detox type stuff.

Hurrah Cranberry!!! Great news!!!

Hi everyone

Things are really tough at the moment, af is on her way at the moment and I'm feeling really low. No idea why, but this cycle it's really hitting me hard that we haven't had our bfp yet and I don't know how to snap out of it

I have no interest in healthy eating, or exercise or planning for the future, I just feel like everything up until now has been a complete and utter waste of time

BUT, I have to say I'm over the moon for the bfps on here, I'm so, so, so chuffed for each and every single one of you ladies who've got your bfps And for everyone who hasn't yet, even though I'm not around much, I'm still rooting for you all

 

[cranberry987]

I think that moving house is a stressful time, losing weight makes everything more stressful tbh as youre constantly fighting with your emotions. And moving house while TTC and dieting, well I think youre not along in feeling overwhelmed.

Can you do something you really normally enjoy? I know it might seem like you wont enjoy it but something youve had loads of fun doing in the past. Maybe a visit somewhere or tea with a friend? You might find that you start to enjoy it once youre there.

 

[EmmyReece]

I think once we're sorted in the house properly we're going to go away for a weekend, even if it's just up to Chris' mum and dad's caravan, where we can go for walks on the beach and have some proper us time. Everything's just so up in the air, and with me not being able to focus on my weight loss, I'm feeling like I've lost control of everything if that makes sense?

 

[Traskey]

That sounds like a great plan Emmy. Moving is one of the most stressful things you can go through so it's not surprising that everything feels out of control right now. I hope that you find something to help you through soon but if it means you need to take a break from ttc and dieting to get yourself back in the zone then go for it. It might make you feel better

 

[twinkle1975]

Bih hugs Emmy xxxxx

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Aww Emmy I'm so sorry your struggling at the minute - the others are right, moving dieting and ttc are all super stressful, it no surprise your feeling overwhelmed right now.

Spending some time away with chris sounds like a lovely idea, maybe it'll be just the break you need. I home you feel better soon hunnie x

Cranberry I'm so happy for you!! Bellys to bumps has to be the luckiest ltttc thread ever - and there's plenty more bps to come! Woo hoo
