Bellys to Bumps

[twinkle1975]

Woo twins would be fab!!

 

[twinkle1975]

Ooo - just read about ww angel delight - I made a knickerbocker glory type thing the other day in a sundae glass - tinned fruit (free) on the bottom, Sugar free jelly (free) next, then ww angel delight and a mini meringue crumbled on top (2 points) - it was quite yummy!

Also I was reading somewhere on here about charting your CM - can I just say that while this is a good idea I think you need to chart temps or do opks too as I (before this weird month) have always had EWCM at the right time but the blood tests have shown I'm not O'ing - sorry if I sound negative just want it to be right for everyone xxx

 

[Traskey]

That pudding sounds yummy!!!! All that for just 2 points. Count me in

As for tracking my cycle, I use the CBFM which tells me when I am ovulating. I don't seem to produce a lot of CM so i've never relied on it for tracking ovulation (trying grapefruit juice this month, yukky). I am seriously thinking of temping though next month. Is this overkill?

 

[Tarkwa]

I love tinned peaches! I'm using OPKs and temping, but I forgot to take it this morning . Apparently multiples run naturally in my family; all on my mum's side and skipping generations so it could be natural if it was twins (although not quite sure if this 'old wives tale' is actually true!). It's late now and I've got my legs up in the air so I'll say goodnight, sleep tight.

Night Tarkwa! Do you know, is it the legs that should be raised (pillow under the legs) or the whole pelvic area (sticking a pillow under the bum)?

Ps, twins would be awesome!!

 

[lovie]

Good Morning Ladies, :wave:

How are you all keeping? I haven’t been on since the weekend, my sister ended up in Hospital on Sunday, they thought it was her appendix, but it’s a cyst on her ovary its only 3cm too small to operate, so she’s still in a lot of pain but home. She is staying in Mam’s at the moment so Mam can mind her.

Love 2 congrats on the loss 1.5lbs that’s fantastic.

Welcome Lovie, hope you enjoy the thread, the girls here are lovely.

Emmy – Have you any scones left??? Its exciting booking a holiday it will take your mind off things….

Tarkwa – Yayyyy hope you catch that egg xx

Imogen – hope you & step daughter are friends again, I don’t know how my parents put up with me when I was 13….LOL

Getting weighted this evening, I have to be honest I wasn’t great this week & was just at the hospital getting my peak +7 bloods and treated myself to bacon & eggs followed by a Cadbury Twirl…. Tut tut tut! I better not eat for the rest of the day!! LOL

I have just had a chat with myself, I have my “big” appointment with our FS on the 18th of Feb, so Im really gonna get stuck into it for the nxt 2 weeks & Im going to start walking again.

I hope you all have great day & will let you know how I get on later xx

 

[EmmyReece]

morning ladies thnks for your kind words things not great i cant stop crying to day think its all the hornones, going to docs to day for 1 month on metformin but it is not till 5 so worried if i eat stuff i will not have lost as much as it says at home, i want to ask her to do a 21 day blood test to see if i did or am ovulating but not sure which day to have blood taken i started getting eggy on cd17, im on cd22 but only got ovulation pain yesterday so should i have it on day 25??

Have a great day every one xxx
Tarkwa get that egg for all of us xxxxx

April hi what time are you walking ill try make my self go x

lovie hi your making me hungey with ymmy fruit and scones ill try see if we can get pomelo in uk

 

[Tarkwa]

Hey Imogen, how long are your cycles usually? They say CD21 as it's 7dpo, but if you O late then you will get a falsely low reading of progesterone. The best thing is to confirm with your GP/FS when you should take it if you know you have O'd later than CD14, a phone call should be enough, or maybe at your appt later today? FX'd for the metformin - I'm going to ask my FS in 3wks if she will put me on it to help me lose weight (even though I don't have PCOS).
I think it's probably a combination of hormones and the whole TTC thing that's making you teary - it can really weigh heavy on your shoulders and life just seems so much harder . PMA is what you need, and maybe a pomelo , though aren't they really sour?! I hope you make up with your step-daughter soon as that will help (although she might be quite sulky if I am anything to go by when I was her age!!!) Hope you have a lovely day hun - remember PMA!

Talking about CD21 bloods, I have a question for all of you. I've got a slip from the FS to have a blood test on CD21 (9 Feb) but I'm scared it could be bad for me. Reason I say that is that I get very anxious about blood tests and really work myself up about it and with the last one I had TMI ALERT lots of fresh red blood that evening. I'm fine with needles and injections, but it's just taking blood that gives me the goolies! I've had a number of bad experiences with blood tests including fainting (and I am not a fainter!). I have to lay down and have curtains pulled and wait for several minutes to calm down before they strap up my arm. I'm ALWAYS in tears whenever I go - it's the one thing in life I really do not like to do. I think the last time I went I worked myself up so much that if the little eggy had been fertilised that it may have said "Oooh, this is not a happy environment to be in, I'm outta here" and didn't embed itself. I know I have an active imagination, but I just feel so positive about this cycle, and I'm 99.99999999999999% certain I'm O'ing right now so why put myself under the unnecessary stress? If I get a BFN later this month I could do the CD21 bloods next cycle? What does everyone think? Any advice would be appreciated.

P.S. I decided against getting the orlistat prescription (actually I've lost it so the decision was made for me!)

omg just been to nurse to take step daughter and asked her to weigh me so when i go at 5 the nurse has already weighed me and she weighed that i have only lost 1hg since 31/12 i cant belive it my scales say i have lost 8 pounds !!! so now crying even more and feel rubish

 

[imogenwanted]

Tarkwa i would not worry to much about the blood test i was just thinking this morning i dont need to have ona as if i am ovulating and at least try to be talking enough to hb then just keep fingers crossed as i think if you get bloods back and say know it makes us feel worse any way.

i am so confused i have been eggy for 5 days know TMI alert but last 2 days been feeling really wet as well and the eggy bit is clearer and more streatchy, i thought i would know what all this means by know as spend hours a day trying to find out as much as poss and have done for nearly 5 years and now have know idea if i have ovulated if i am ovulating or whats going on.

have mad up with spet daughter but she is grounded and does not like me at the monent does not want sleep over as i will be here, i just feel so upset as i alwasy trey so hard and make her sleepovers go really well i get candyfloe maker popcorn make waffle maker out which i brought for her sleep overs and last night she said she does not want yo bring any friends over as im here i even had to sleeo in her room last time as there were up till 4 .

just find evey thing so hard this week and really cant stop crying to day even cried at nurse just then

thanks girls sorry to go on you really are helping xxx

[twinkle1975]

I'm meant to be seeing a friend today who TTC at the same time as me & now has a baby, after yesterday's melt down would it be wrong of me to cancel on her last minute?

 

[Tarkwa]

No chick, not wrong at all. If you're not feeling strong enough to go then don't - I wouldn't. Now the thing is what to say to her . You could be honest and just say you're not up to visiting her today (if she knows you are still TTC she should understand, if she isn't too wrapped up in little one, which I'm sure most of us would be, looking after number one and all that). Or you could tell a little white lie (probably the option I'd go for ).
1. Really bad headache/period pain
2. Think you might be coming down with something and don't want to pass onto her babe
3. You have some urgent work to do today/tonight
These are all I can think of right now. If I can think of any more I'll post (though I really should log on and do some work!)

Hi ladies

its nice to (cyber) meet you imogen, thank you for your welcome! It sounds like you are having a hard day im glad to here you made up with your step daughter, I was a witch to my mum when I was 13 and i (hope) grew out of it, she is starting to go through her monopaus now and she is getting me back!! i hope the docs apointment goes well and I hope you are feeling happier soon

I thaught the pomelo woul be sour, it was on offer and I baught it as an impulse buy but its actually really tasty, not as sweet as an orange but more ummm watery less sticky.

Hi april thank you also for the welcome, you are all so friendly!! I hope your sister is getting better. FX for tonight weigh in, I wouldnt worry about the little treats, everyone needs treats!

tarkwa I have a simalar fear but with flying, it makes me utterly hystericle, i'm quite a realistic sensible person most of the time but when im in an aroplane i just know im going to die unfortunatly I have to fly between seden and england often and the last 2 times in december and november have been right at the end of my 2ww wait so I have not taken valium as I usually do and not had my 2-3 glasses of wine to try to calm me down. in november the flying really disrupted my period it was late and i had really odd pms, I have never ever felt such irational emotions! if i was in your situation i would cancle the apointment for this month, if you regret not going its only 1 month till you can go again but if you go and regret going because it causes you lots of stress that possibly effects your body you cant undo it. good luck with your decision

 

[april05]

Hey Twinkle,

I would tell a little white lie too, no need to go upsetting yourself xxx

 

[EmmyReece]

I'm meant to be seeing a friend today who TTC at the same time as me & now has a baby, after yesterday's melt down would it be wrong of me to cancel on her last minute?

It's not wrong at all hun, I'd probably feel exactly the same I'd probably pick one of the explanations Tarkwa said
