Bellys to Bumps

Sorry I'm always moaning but I asked DH if we could DTD last night as a last ditch attempt for this month. He said yes, got into bed & promptly fell asleep!!
 
I'm new in this section. I'm hoping to find more serious, mature ladies in this LTTTC section, as I'm getting irritated by the 17-19 year old little girls in the regular TTC section who repeatedly ask the same questions, symptom spot from 1dpo, conceive within two months, or claim to have been ttc since they were 14. Yeaaahhh....
Anyhoo, enough with the bitterness. ;)

DF and I have been ttc since 2008, with an almost ntnp approach, but with it always being on our minds. DF was told years ago he had low count, low motility. Then I got thyroid cancer, so it sort of went to the back burner. But I still was always asking the doctors what role this or that played in my ability to get pregnant, constantly conscious to not do anything that would hinder our attempts.
After losing my thyroid to the cancer, I gained a LOT of weight. I finally tipped the scales at 250lbs...ouch! I'm 5'2".
When we saw a RE last year, I was of course told to lose weight, and DF had some terribly disheartening SAs....it turns out he's completely azoospermatic. :(
Fast forward to now. I lost 30lbs in just over 3 months with weight watchers, and am a size 18, looking at a 16 soon, hopefully!
We have been using a known donor for four months, and clomid for three. I had an hsg test last fall and the RE showed no blockage, and said I have eggs. With clomid, I've had perfect 29-31 day cycles, and have been ovulating.

We are so ready to be parents, it doesn't seem fair that it hasn't happened already. I'm sure you ladies understand this feeling.
If adoption weren't financially out of our reach, we'd be parents already, I'm sure.

But at 217lbs with a bmi teetering around 40, here I am to join you!
Let's get our BFPs sooner than later....who's with me?
 
Hi welcome to the club.

I know exactly what you mean about those who get pregnant too early, just aint fair is it. Sorry to hear youve had health problems, sounds like youre getting on top of things now tho and losing weight well :)

Oh, ppl here do symptom spot, but thats human nature hehe
 
Symptom spotting is only natural! Even when I tell myself I won't, I still do...I just don't dwell on it. I'm just tired of seeing silly non-symptom spotting from girls in their first cycle ttc (or "accidentally" pregnant) "My period is due in two days but I'm afraid I might be late cuz my bf had sex wif me and (lol tmi) he cummed inside me and I feel a fluttering in my stomach....is that the baby kicking?"
or "I'm 3dpo and was so thirsty I drank a lot today, and then peed a whole lot! Do you think that means I'm pregnant?"
Granted, the first example is more likely found on yahoo answers, but you get the gist. ;)
My palm meets my forehead a whole lot.
 
I found one q on yahoo answers

Can I see my baby without an ultrasound

Answer. Yes. Roll your eyes back as far as they will go and you will get a flash of your uterus for a few secs >><<

Cran, you crack me up!!!!!! :haha: :haha:

Welcome to Kahlua :hi::howdy:

You are right about some of the youngsters in TTC. Whilst we can occasionally be a bit silly we aren't so ignorant to ask ridiculous questions such as the ones above.

Good luck on your weight loss journey. Sounds like you have made a fantastic start already by losing 30lbs. I'm sure that will help when you do get your bfp. I hope that your donor sperm gives you what you need.

Evening all, hope you've had a good day food wise and otherwise. DH is trying to eat healthier and have salmon and pasta. Smelt divine.
 
:rofl: I have encountered some seriously funny questions on yahoo answers and some sarcastically funny answers.

KahluaCupcake- I've heard great things about weight watchers. I'd like to join but can't spare the cash right now, I maxed out my credit cards buying meds for the past 3 months. Anyway I think if I've not made good progres by August/September I'll join.

So my best progress losing weight was when I used a food journal. I randomly got an email from calorie count, which I joined days ago. I decided it was good sign to start doing it again. Hopefully it works!
 
I'm not an official member of WW. I had my mother, a member, buy me the calculator. You enter your age, heigh, weight and it gives you your point allowance. Then you can enter the nutrition facts into the calculator and it tells you how many points it is, and even keeps track of how much you've had each day.

But if you're not all that into it, pay attention to the content of food and instead of calories, pay attention to:
Fiber
Carbohydrates
Fat
and Protein

the lower fat and lowest carbohydrates are the best for you. High fiber & high protein is the best.
Good luck!
 
Welcome Kahlua - well done on your weightloss so far!!
I'm determined to get back on the wagon today - I went 12 points over yesterday!!!
 
You can do it Twinkle!

I feel like I am drinking for England with all those litres but another pound went off today so I know it's worth it. I was craving DHs salmon dinner tonight, looked gorgeous.

Hope you are all having a good food day!
 
Well im seriously hacked off!! I have been so good this week and ive put on half a pound :shrug: How the chuff did that happen? My SW lady seems to think it could be because im due AF tomorrow :shrug: :(

O well i will not let this discourage me. Tomorrow is a brand new week :) xxx
 
I never lose a thing when the witch is due. It's my crap weight loss week every month. I'm sure it will come off next week instead.

:hugs:

Don't despair!
 
Woohoo Traskey - so proud of you!!
Lisa - grr to pre-witch crappiness!!

I'm feeling down in the dumps today - will try really hard to avoid the chocolate cravings!
