Bellys to Bumps

Ladies - I am EGGY! YAAAAAAAAY! I had some EWCM today so guess I am about to ovulate. I did an OPK (pic below) and I think I'm nearly there.

Welcome Lovie! I'm just about to have dinner so will do a proper post shortly.

good luck catching the eggy hun

Well, that was a quick dinner, and not entirely nice . Beef Teriyaki from Morrison's - it was stupidly sweet and I have a sweet tooth.

Anyway, so I'm eggy today, even though the OPK says I'm not O'ing yet, I think it will tomorrow. The EWCM comes first, then you O, right?

Welcome Lovie :wave:. I'm with Traskey on the dieting and weight loss whilst TTC. I've spoken to my GP and FS about this and they say it's fine to continue eating healthily whilst TTC and PG, and will actually be beneficial. My weight loss appears to have helped regulate my periods which I think in turn has helped me to ovulate (I didn't see any EWCM for a while at the beginning). 5 months is a long time and we've all been there chick. I was starting to get worried that I hadn't had a BFP by that point, but then again, I'd pretty much only had one visit from !

If you love OBEM then you might be able to watch online: https://www.channel4.com/programmes/4od though not sure if it will work outside of UK. It's also on Youtube - just search for the full title and there is an official 4OD Documentaries section - it has 12 episodes right now.
Hope you're feeling better - I've not had food poisoning since my honeymoon which was over 3yrs ago now, phew!

Love2, well done on the weight loss! Very impressed with gymming at 8.30am - defo get some sexercise too! And I love lemon with fizzy water - yum! Have it every time I'm eating out, though probably not as strong as you've had it !

4maggies - I hope you find something else that works. Have you thought of going it alone? That's what I'm doing and it seems to be working so far. Well, apart from the cravings for sweet stuff at the end of last week (should have had the beef teriyuki!)

Emmy, Turkey sounds fab, and definitely an incentive for the healthy eating . But please hun, only weigh yourself once a week, twice absolute max if you are desperate to see. Weight fluctuates so much that it can be quite depressing . And always do it at the same time otherwise you're not comparing like-for-like (I do it in the morning after a visit to the loo . I'm sure you know all this already hun, but every little helps.

Foxy, yeah thanks for that! The light WAS on And that woman - I don't know how many times I said SHUT UP!! I just know I'll be like that - chatting away to anyone who will listen (or won't in some cases!).

Yeah I'm going to stick to weighing myself on a tuesday because it's generally a tuesday that I go and see the nurse, but am going to try and swing it so I only go in every other week.

Just had weight watchers salmon risotto and it was yucky, certainly won't be buying that again. But I have got the ww version of angel delight for pudding

[zowiey]

Yay for being eggy!! go get him tiger!!!

 

[lovie]

Thank you for the advice tarkwa the 4od doenst work in Sweden and neither does the youtube stations just comes up with "you are not allowed to watch this outside the UK" rubish! oh well i'll just have to catch up when i go home to visit my family your cat in your profile pic is super cute! looks like a bundle of hugs x

Tonight and last night I've had strong faint lines. Could you see the pic I posted? I can see it ok. I hope tomorrow/Thursday it will be nice and dark - I might get DH to every night now!!!

Zowiey, it's so hard to hold it in when everyone else announces their happy news. The only people where I won't be feeling jealous, just immensely happy, is you ladies (well, maybe a teeny bit, but nowhere near as much as those who fall PG at the drop of a hat, or by accident ).

And hi Twinkle - hope you're good chick! Not long to go until your FS appt .

Emmy, meant to say I LOVE baking. I make a pretty mean scone, but try not to have them too often as I rather like them with a dollop of clotted cream and a splodge of raspberry jam!

I'm sorry about that. I've managed to find websites that do US shows ahead of the UK . One is called cucirca and the other sidereel. I'm rather addicted to Chuck and Grey's Anatomy. Not sure if they do UK shows, but if not have a hunt around, I'm sure there is somewhere out there!

Where are you from originally, if you don't mind me asking?

And my puss is..well...old and cranky! She was about 10 in the piccie, but she's 15 now. We adopted her from a rescue centre called Last Chance back in 2002 when she was 6.5yrs. Her last owners gave her up after they had a baby; she became very jealous and left 'messages' around the house. She's become very vocal in her old age - I wonder how I'd cope with a baby sometimes when she constantly miaows at me!!! And she's very scratchy - you should see my hands from when I play with her! But I love her to pieces and wouldn't give her up for the world. She's my baby.

She's a beautiful cat Tarkwa

 

[zowiey]

Oh I LOVE scones!! Mmmmm! I'm getting ready to watch midsomer murders, John Nettles is my guilty crush!!

 

[zowiey]

Doh!! I was convinced it was Wednesday!!! Haha!

 

[Love2bamummy]

Weight Watchers ladies, I've found a fab new treat! It's called chocolate and vanilla ice cream waves, it's by ww. Absolutely gorgeous and well worth 3 points! It's just like vienetta.

With the lemon and water thing, I used a whole lemon, but I'm thinking a saccharin might do the trick! I shall give it a whirl in the morning!

Much love ladies xxx

 

[lovie]

I think you are allowed to be cranky and vocal at 15 (in cat years) if a human year is 7 years for a cat she must be around 105! I greaw up in Devon, so i'm used to alot of rain and temps between +5 and +25. I have been living in sweden for 5 months now and its CRAZY cold! it doesnt help that I lived in australia for 1 year right before I moved to Sweden. The temp was +1 today here and everyone was talking about it being sooooo warm! I miss the Uk lots, I miss my family and friends, my little sister is 7 and im like her 2nd mum, so I feel bad for leaving her. Sweden is a great country for families tho. you get 18 month parental leave! and even if you have no job before the baby is born, studying as I am you get around 600 pounds a month for 18 months. All the houses have big open parks around them and all daycare and schools are free (there is no such thing as private education) all I need now is a baby!!!!

Emmy I haven't had angel delight since I was a little girl, I loved it!!

 

[Traskey]

Love2, I saw those ww waves in the supermarket and thought they looked yummy! Next time i'll pick some up.

Congrats Tarkwa on the eggy Not long to go now.

Lovie, I think we all need to move to Sweden!

A scone sounds really good about now. I fell asleep after work and am now frantically trying to cook something to eat. It's taking ages I'm starving.

 

[lovie]

yay all move to sweden!!! im off to bed now, catch you all tomorrow,

 

[imogenwanted]

hi ladies just had worse row with step daughter ever (she lives with us 13) just wanted to say thank you for all being here even though i have not had great couple of days no dedding and think im ovulating on own first time i just keep thinking of you guys and know you all all here for me so huge thank you xxxxxxxx

 

[Traskey]

Imogen, I am so glad that you think you are ovulating! That's a positive on what sounds like an awful day I am sorry that you had an argument with your step daughter. 13 year olds can be very hormonal. I hope that you aren't too upset.

We are all here for you, when you need us.

 

[Tarkwa]

Imogen, I was a bitch at 13 to my mum so I'm sorry you're having to deal with her right now, especially when you need love and support (which I'm sending you ooooooodles of right now ). Fab news that you are O'ing on your own I am too (with help from clomid) so gonna grab DH and ! Have very dull ache down below/pelvic region so hoping that's my little eggy getting itself ready. Feeling REALLY positive . Can't tell if left or right side let's hope it's both and I get twins!!!

[Traskey]

Sounds positive to me! I've already grabbed DH this evening I am glad that the Clomid seems to be working I don't think I will ov tomorrow so that will give the time before Thursday or Friday.

I'm also under points today for WW so my body must be getting used to less food. That's 2 days in a row

As for the WW bread, I've tried, I really have, but I am going back to my normal bread and just eating less of it!
