Bellys to Bumps

[Lil_Pixie]

MZ that's wonderful news hopefully things will start movin forward for you now

WI day for me, I've lost 2 lbs I'm happy with that, especially after how drunk I got on Saturday night, and the subsequent takeaway

I'm really loving sw, the only problem I'm having is I have no clue how to figure out the syn value in things, but they're all things I shouldn't be watching anyway

 

[EmmyReece]

Well done Pix, brilliant loss hun

3lbs off for me this week, I'll definitely take that as it takes me to 8lb lost in the last fortnight yay

Just baked a tray of brownies last night. We found out yesterday that dh's test said zero sperm. What's the point of caring about bmi if can't have a baby anyway?

 

[twinkle1975]

Oh awifey, I'm so sorry about the test results. Have you seen someone about it - have they said if there's a next step? Big hugs xxx

He didn't see a doc, will take results to mine in a couple weeks.

He will quit smoking and see if that makes any difference. Will have to wait like three months though as that is how long it takes to make spermies.

My DH had a low sperm count & crap motility when he had his first test done - he then took a whole load of vitamins & supplements & it made quite a difference to his second test results - might be worth yours giving it a go?

Will try. What supplements did you have your dh take?

 

[twinkle1975]

hmm - looking in the fridge there's a general multi-vitamin, a high dose vitamin c, l-carnitine and selenium - I think there might have been others but we've kind of given up taking them all now we're looking at the adoption route. I'll ask him when he gets home but there are various threads on here about what to take - try looking in the general TTC section. More hugs x

 

[EmmyReece]

I think zinc is good for spermies too Sorry the test results weren't good awifey, but it's definitely worth a try with vitamins etc to see if you can improve things xx

 

[Lil_Pixie]

sorry about the test results awifey. Hopefully things will improve with quitting smoking and taking some vitamins. How are you feeling today?

Sw is amazing! I think lol. Will see how the weightloss goes. It's so easy! And I'm not hungry and I don't feel deprived. I'm actually struggling with not feeling guilty every time I eat. All my favourite foods are free

 

[twinkle1975]

Pix I'm really thinking about DH & I going to SW for a few weeks to get the idea of how it works & then trying to do it on our own.
I've lost 7lbs and he's lost 5lbs in 3 weeks but i'm finding the fast days really hard - I'm just not used to having a rumbling stomach, I know I should get used to that but when I'm really hungry & I can't have anything to eat I just freak out - I ate a whole bar of chocolate yesterday where I would normally have just had a few squares!

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Twink it's wonderful! It's all really health focused so its about fresh, good food and as much of it as you want. Definitely the best diet I've done and I know it's a favourite with the ladies in here. I actually feel like I don't understand how I could possibly lose weight because I don't feel like I'm on a diet at all. I'm not missing crisp and chocolate and things yet though

 

[EmmyReece]

Twinks, even if you just go, get the new packs so that you have the information there and do it yourself, it really is possible. I'll help anyway that I can and I can recommend a site where you pretty much get all of the information too

 

[4magpies]

Slimming world is really good twinks. It's what I recommend to everyone.

I didn't lose anything this week, well I lost 2lb of fat and gained 2lb of muscle so that's not too bad.

Refuse to be disheartened and sticking at it!! Haha.

It was ov week and I never seem to lose during ov week. So I was kind of expecting it. I'm hoping next week shows a good loss!!

[xMissxZoiex]

hey girls!,

Hope your all doing well!.

Tinks the fast days sound hard!, I don't think i could do it myself i HATE to have a rumbling belly.

4magpies the 2lbs fat loss is great! the muscle gain is unavoidable when you are doing things the healthy way . Also GL with you consultation for IVF, My next appointment is on the 19th

 

[4magpies]

Who you doing egg sharing with Zoie? Is this your second appointment? Are you paying for your blood tests?

Aye I know but it doesn't help with the BMI for my IVF.

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend. I had lasagne for tea as my cheat meal. It was amazing. Haha.

[xMissxZoiex]

I'm sharing anonymously through the clinic so they match us and everything. This will be my second appointment, I had the scan done to check my ovaries and the blood tests to check AMH to see if i was eligable to donate eggs that was paid for by the clinic, the next appointment will be for genetic bloods & HIV testing for me and DH is having HIV bloods which is costing us just over £300. I'm also having counselling which is manditory for egg share but is also paid for by the clinic.

I know it really sucks they don't take body fat mass into consideration or body type!, I have broad shoulders and wide hips so not your average body type. Also BMI wont effect the success of IVF they have those rules in place due to the risk on a pregnancy, that is what i have been told anyways.

IMO the whole BMI system needs a review!.

 

[4magpies]

Nooooo I know it's anonymous I meant which clinic are you using.

I'm hoping my GP is going to do my screening for me so I don't have to pay as my clinic said they will accept those instead of paying.

[xMissxZoiex]

Oh right lol

I'm with CARE Nottingham

I tried to get my GP to do the tests to but it takes weeks to get an appointment and I would have missed the IVF appointment before i even get to see a GP at my surgery, My GP is great but the receptionists think they are the law! lol. So i figured lefts just get things moving and pay for it ourselves.

 

[4magpies]

Ahh we can't really afford to pay for ours privately with the wedding and everything so if our GP won't do them we will have to wait till after.
