Bellys to Bumps

[twinkle1975]

Thanks ladies - I've told her that my boss has given me some work that has to be done for tonight - I'm sure it would be fine but today I think even the smell of babies would make me cry!
Tarkwa, if you're really worried about the tests I'd wait until next month. As far as when to do them my dr said its meant to be 7 days before AF is due - which in a 28 day cycle would also be 7dpo - day 21, however if your cycle is more than 28 days it would be later than that. I had 3 done on different days in the end!

Tarkwa – Day 21 bloods, on the Napro programme I was told that I’ve to get my bloods done 7 days after my last clear stretchy CM…So I had bloods done this morning even though Im in day 25 of my cycle. Hope this helps.

Ah Imogen, you poor pet – you need to close the door on this week, I would suggest before going to your appointment this evening stop off & buy a nice bottle of wine that you can have the minute you get home!! Im going walking at 7 but you can take tonight off & start again tmrw Pet, just mind yourself tonight xxx Good luck for this evening xx

Love 2 – I love hot water & lemon I could drink it all day… my boss doesn’t like it thought… think they should move my PC to the bathroom LOL…

Lunch time now, going to have WW home made soup & tea…… (would love chocolate! )

Tarkwa, I'd say wait until next cycle too hun ... you're feeling really positive about this cycle and it would be a shame for anything to upset you

Hi Ladies

Jeez i can't believe how much i miss only being away for a couple of days. Hope everyone is still cracking on with their weight losses. I have had a good week this week so i'm hoping for a loss at fat club tonight.

I had a FS app yesterday for more Clomid and the FS was stressing the importance of losing weight. He said i was doing well but kept reinforcing the difference it makes for ladies with PCOS I was like 'I am trying!!' haha xxx

Hey Lisa (ooh, that sounds like something out of Dirty Dancing!) - this thread moves fast, doesn't it! When I came home from the office yesterday there was tons, but then I do loads of posts and it gets even longer! Good luck with your WI tonight, and enjoy your acu appt tomorrow. If this cycle is a BFN I will look into it as I am such a stressy person .
Thanks for the advice about CD21 bloods everyone. I think I'm going to give it a miss this cycle as I just can't be doing with thinking "what if..." . I was surprised by the blood that evening (nothing the following day though) and really do think the little eggy didn't want to hang around .
Feeling a little peckish so going to have something to drink to see if that helps . Going to make chilli con carne tonight for dinner with plain boiled rice, but need to nip out to get some chilli seasoning. TTFN

Hey Lisa (ooh, that sounds like something out of Dirty Dancing!)

Took me ages then to realise what you were talking about lol xxx

 

[Traskey]

Evening all!

Tarkwa, I would agree with all the girls. If having bloods stresses you out so much then I wouldn't risk it this month. You have such a positive vibe going, I wouldn't risk it.

Twinkle, it's ok to put yourself first sometimes.

Lisa, I love how they stress lose weight as if we aren't trying! I've been so good the last two weeks and I haven't lost a thing (

Imogen, i'm sorry the doc scales say you haven't lost as much as the ones at home. I am beginning to hate scales grrrr. Just keeping measuring yourself on the ones at home as well, to be consistant.

for all!

 

[Traskey]

Oh and catching up on OBEM, i've had to mute that woman!!!!

As for the 21 day blood test, well 7 days before AF is due, I am going for next Friday I think. That will be day 24, if I ovulate on Friday as predicted but 7 days before af if i have a 14 day LP

 

[EmmyReece]

I'm being so good on the food front

Yoghurt, cherries and a slice of banana on toast for brekkie (after my lemon and water), chicken and tomato pitta bread and then lasagne later on ... I've had a special k bar as a snack

I'm so excited for weigh in next week

Still no sign of af or a bfp but we're bding again lots and lots just in case I'm having a super late ov

 

[twinkle1975]

Pah - this weightwatchers points thingy makes me cross sometimes - just made some ww mini muffins - worked out the points & it said they were 1 each, so I ate 2 and when I went to put them in my online tracker it said that 2 muffins was 3 points grrr!

 

[Traskey]

Grrr, I hate it when they do that. I've noticed that on a few things. One is one point but two is three. Boooooo

 

[imogenwanted]

well ladies dr said i had not lost any thing on her scales and i siad well at home i have lost 8 pounds so she gave me another month of zenical she said i should go on ll or atkins, i said i did that and then when you stop you put it back on, she said ovulation tests should work with pcos i said i thought it gave falsh readings, she said dont use cm as a test!!! to see if ovulating i sais well what was i ment to use she just said sex every other night and loss weight . so came a way with face like beetroot and not happy

not going back for 3 months i think ill just wount listen to the skinny dr who has just come back from maternity leave

oh then she said do you really want to get pregnant!!!!!

as i said it was hard to have sex every other night when you have a 45-60 day cycle!

any way girls going to have large vodka and coke xx

 

[zowiey]

Imogen, Drs can be horrible sometimes can't they? Just ignore her, and carry on with your weight loss, you're doing really well.

[Tarkwa]

Imogen chick, I know exactly what you mean. I've had GP's tell me that, and at first, when my cycles were stupidly long and irregular (between 35-97 days!!!) having every other night made it quite a chore (and we didn't even do it every other night!). Honestly, some people just don't understand, do they, silly skinny doctor, eh?! But losing weight did help me regulate - so annoying as it's INCREDIBLY difficult to lose the weight. If it was easy we'd all be a size 8, wouldn't we?!?! Some people just don't put on weight so cannot understand why us curvy girls find it so hard. Well done on the 8lb!

Had chilli con carne with a jacket spud. Had a sprinkling of cheese and a bit of butter in the spud, along with a few nachos/tortillas - YUMMY! DH didn't fancy going swimming this evening so I guess I'll go tomorrow morning after I've made him a birthday breakfast (oven cooked bacon, poached eggs and freshly baked bread).

Lovie, I tried to buy a pomelo today but my local M&S food hall and giant Tesco didn't have any . The fresh produce guy in M&S said he wouldn't recommend it and that it wasn't a very nice fruit but I still want to try it. I'll check my giant Sainsbury's when I go on Saturday to do the weekly shop.

Ooh, and whilst I was out I bought some more Bailey's, and some lemon/lime jelly. It's sugar free crystals and I wasn't particularly impressed making it and it didn't fully dissolve. Humph! Made it with diet lemonade and topped up with fizzy water to 1pt mark. I've just given it a wobble and it is still liquid!
I'll stop waffling now! xxx

 

[zowiey]

Ergh, more decorating, and I'm feeling really emotional and poop, af is on her way, so everything in my life is rubbish and I'm never going to be happy again! Obviously I don't really feel like that, but I'm pmt-ing like a mofo tonight! Just shouted at hubby for no real reason, I want to shut myself in my room and sleep until next week, when it's all over. Gee, I'm a happy little ray of sunshine aren't I?!!

[Traskey]

Oh dear, she didn't sound particularly helpful did she? I hope you aren't totally disheartened. I am trying hard to stay away from the appeal of doing a more drastic diet. I'm just not losing in WW and i don't know why. I know slow and steady is more sustainable and long term but some loss would be good! Are you finding it helpful to be on Zenical?

I can't believe she asked you if you really want to get pregnant! That's not very supportive or helpful. Is there another doctor at your practice that you could see instead?

I bought some sugar free jelly crystals because they did the lime flavour and you ladies made them sound so yummy. I hope your jelly sets because I was going to try and make some this weekend.

Mmm, that sounds good. We had plaice, veggies and mash potato. Not my usual dinner but for healthy wasn't too bad!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO TARKWA'S HUBBY!!!!!

So close to ovulation it could be a husband birthday baby

I am sorry you are having such a day. Pms sucks! Feel free to vent as much as you need. We all have bad days and the thought of af arriving is enough to set me off too.

 

[EmmyReece]

Imogen, I'm so sorry your dr wasn't any help Is there anyway of switching to a more supportive dr? I'll echo what Tarkwa says and it's definitely difficult to keep up every other night

zowiey you rant away as much as you need to hun, we can't all be 100% full of pma all day every day

Traskey I got some of the jelly crystals too, but Morrissons only had orange / peach and apple / blackcurrant ... I love the sound of the lime ones. Ohhhh I got some weight watchers cream too to have with it. Good luck for a hubby birthday conception hun

As for me, I am sooooooo achey, right down where my ovaries roughly are ... I've just started my epo tonight as I think I haven't ovd yet this cycle, could it be that that's brought on the cramps?? I've made a new batch of scones as the last ones turned out like rock cakes Just about to microwave my ww lasagne

 

[Traskey]

Sorry Emmy, I wasn't very clear. It's Tarkwa's other half that has the birthday tomorrow
