Urghh, I have just downed a glass of grapefruit juice in preparation for ov. Hope it's worth it, it tastes awful and uses valuable ww points Let's see if it has the desired effect, never tried it before.

Saved points on dinner though, the sausages were off and I couldn't smell it due to the heavy cold, so we had toad in the hole with no toad

Hey ladies - just caught up on several hundred pages!!
Yay to those of you who've lost & big hugs to those of us who are struggling!
I'm still waiting for AF - I don't know why but since the tests showed I wasn't ovulating I've suddenly gone from really regular 28 day cycles to not having a clue what's going on! I'm now on day 36!!

 

[Traskey]

Welcome back Twinkle, we missed you

Wow, day 36! I take it you have checked that you aren't bfp? Are you getting any symptoms of af or bfp?

 

[EmmyReece]

healthy eating seems to be going well for me today, I had my lemon and water this morning, then a yoghurt, nectarine and toast for brekkie, chicken satays for lunch, and I've just had 2 pitta breads filled with tomato, cucumber and turkey ham

I might treat myself to some ice cream while glee is on later

 

[Tarkwa]

Hey Twinkle, have you taken a HPT? If not then it might be worth taking one.
Am watching OBEM - looking good so far; no-one has pissed me off yet (like that woman did last week - empty handed - I'll show her empty-bloody-handed!)

Oh, i've got that on Skyplus to watch as soon as Silent Witness is finished

I am a bad person, it's official. I couldn't face answering the phone tonight to hear whether my brother's 3rd child is a boy or girl. I've just found out it's a boy, due in 8 weeks. They've put it on FB.

Didn't want to be at work today at all. Got there to be told that one of my students had just had a baby girl this week (in my adult class). Whilst I am pleased for all of them things are still a bit too raw from Thursday and i'd rather hide under the duvet.

At least I haven't gone completely off the rails with my food! Usually that's the first place I would go.

Anyway, thanks for letting me EXPRESS not REPRESS lol xx

You are NOT a bad person in the slightest hun. I've had to tell my cousin that we have plans for when she wants to come over in April because she'll be 6 months pregnant by then

 

[Tarkwa]

I ignored the phone when I saw MIL calling, and again when SIL called later the same day. I felt really bad but I just didn't want to speak to either of them. I told DH and he seemed to understand. Don't you just hate FB - people forever making announcements on there. I hardly go on any more, instead I posted on the thread Facebook Status in 'short term' TTC what I'd like to say. OBEM is back on...more later!

[twinkle1975]

I'm not doing an HPT - I've got PMS so badly that I'm even worse to live with than normal! I know I'm not O'ing so I can't be pregnant and I've managed to close off the worst of the devastating sadness & seeing a BFN only brings that back.
Thanks for thinking positively for me though.
FB is the bane of my life - the wife of one of my friends is due in the next couple of weeks & she won't stop going on about it - she updates every 2 secs - doesn't help that I can't stand her!

 

[Traskey]

Thanks for your understanding Tarkwa. Fortunately, my husband felt the same way and didn't want to know either. It's a very long story as to why he feels this way and I'd rather not say on here. Not that I mind telling you girls, just the rest of the world!

I hate that I feel this way. Let's hope it's just a temporary thing due to me feeling ridiculously sorry for myself and hating the stupid NHS and Primary Care Trusts!!!! Grrrrrr.

 

[twinkle1975]

Can I ask do any of you find you just can't watch OBEM?

Mine too! I've been invisible since Thursday (how bad am I). Every post is my back aches, I wish it would stop poking me, i've got restless legs, and when I see that I think along the lines of, "You don't know how lucky you are."

So sorry that you are feeling PMSy. I didn't realise there was no chance that you were ovulating . I wish I could make it better for all of us Maybe Clomid will help with that.

 

[Traskey]

Strangely I can watch this one Maybe it's because I don't know the people on it. Seems to be i'm finding it harder with all the people I know and my lovely nan asking me when i'm going to have a baby. I haven't even told my parents yet we are having problems.

 

[Tarkwa]

Twinkle, I have no idea why I watch it - it's like torture , but I think to myself that will be me one day . The older woman on it tonight (not difficult when the other girl is only 18!) was so irritating - I just know I will be much worse than she was! I've told my DH to tell me to shut up if I go on and on and on and on.... I completely understand why you don't want to watch it hun, but for me it's a bit like toothache - you know it hurts, but you just can't help touching/pressing on the tooth to make it hurt more! I hope you know what I mean. Why oh why?!?!
Traskey, if you ever need to talk about it just pop me a private message hun - I'm here for you.

[zowiey]

All the pregnant people (6 of them!!!!) on my facebook are on my hide list!! Well aside from one of my closest friends, but she doesnt update no where near as much as the others!

And Traskey and lots of them too!
I'm pretty sure we have all done something similar, but you have to put yourself first sometimes. Why should we always have to gracefully and cheerfully receive news that breaks us apart, because it's not us?

[EmmyReece]

I haven't dared to even attempt to watch OBEM ...

This is probably going to make me seem like a spoilt cow, but I am so unbelievably jealous of anyone who's had their bfp, not so much if they've been trying for yonks and appreciate it as much as we would, but the ladies who get their's by accident, or while they're still on birth control, I just ache with how unfair it seems, here's all of us who would give anything for ours, yet we're all struggling ... life is pretty unfair sometimes

BUT, when we DO get there we'll appreciate it so much more ...

"It's easier to go down a hill than up it, but the view is so much better at the top."

When the world says "give up ..." Hope whispers "try it one more time"

Sorry about the cheesy quotes

 

[Foxybabyhg3]

Foxy, you are definitely rattling if you take the folic acid too! Just think though, all of these pills and potions are there to help us achieve the one thing mother nature intended us to do. Let's stick with it and hope for the best, eh?!
I think I may be getting ready to start O'ing. Could 'feel' something in my pelvic region (as I normally do). No EWCM yet, but I think I O'd last cycle around CD13 so that would be tomorrow for me - FX'd. I did an OPK last night at about 6.30pm but it looked -ve. Looked again this morning (I know it's way past the time limit) but could see a faint line, so I guess if I do it again today it might be darker? Will try not to do it at night when it's dark and I can't see properly .

Or turn the light on I always do it on a morning, I always think it'd be more concentrated

Just watched OBEM. OMG does that woman EVER shut up??? 1st it was the sending the husband out 3 times to bring stuff back, then it was the singing, then it was the constant talking about their musical backgrounds-even the Docs were like "er, yeah, shut up so we can try and turn the baby" Even my DH was like turn it over, whenever she came back on

 

[lovie]

Hi ladies I was wondering if i could join you, I know this is in the LTTTC and I have only been trying for 5 months, (feels like quite along time to me allready!!)

my name is Amy and I am english but living in Sweden with my swedish OH... on a side not I am so envious of you all getting to watch OBEM, we dont get it over here and the catchup TV doesnt work outside the UK, probably for the best tho because i just end up in floods of tears when I watch birth programes, so does my OH (makes me cry even more!) Im 26 and my OH is 34. I am 5 foot 4 inches and 227 pounds (bmi 39) I have tried diets before but actually I have never really had a reason to drive me enough to stick to it, I'm lucky that my OH loves my curves and I am healthy despite my extra weight. All I have ever wanted to be is a mum, and that is reason enough for me to really really try to lose weight, I know it will be healthier for me and a baby if I was lighter and also that if i need to seek medical help I will need a lower BMI.

My aim is ultimatly to be 146 pounds (bmi 25) I'd love to be 177(bmi30) by sept 2011 (our 1 year aniversery of ttc) that is 7 pounds a month, I hope I can do it!!!

My diet starts now, so i'll weigh in on a monday evening, my plan is walking everywhere, lots of water and lots of fruit veg + counting those lovely calories.

I had a couple of questions, does anyone know how much dieting effects your chances of conceiving negativly, I asume its very hard to conceive whilst dieting also does anyone know if dieting will change my cycle?

So lovley to (cyber) meet you ladies, good luck, shed a tear for me next time you see OBEM! good luck you are doing so well allready its so inspiring for me
