Bellys to Bumps

[Tarkwa]

Yay for smiley faces! I think I might try them next time. Good news about the BMI of 35 though! Fingers crossed it isn't too expensive though Traskey. But I'm sure it will be worth EVERY penny.

good luck with ov Traskey hun

I think I've just ovd, super duper late for me, but I had a temp rise (went all the way up from my lowest point, right up to the highest temp I've had so far ... think my chart is linked to my ff ticker) and I woke up with lots and lots of wet cm, which has since turned creamy, white, but still incredibly wet so I'm having an early night tonight and getting a repeat of last night

hope everyone else is good

good evening ladies... happy weekend!!!

Zowie im glad you feel better now AF has arived, you deserve some treats on AF day! Im not sure if hsg would make a difference to the symptoms, it seems unlikely that it would change how your boobs feel. Are your pre AF symptoms usualy the same?

Tarkwa your evening sounded perfect! I wouldnt worry about the liver I think you are advised to eat it "rarely" when you are pregnant so once in your 2ww wont matter in sure Yay for a high temp!! xing everything it stays up! does anyone know what happens when we get our BFP does our temp stay up the entire 9 months?

Trasky im glad you got the wi sorted out! I have allways wanted to have a go on a wi fit. Yay for OVing !! did you know you were because the lines had been darker or did you feel different in your body? Its great news about the BMI for private IVF, 6 kg is so acheivable! are you going to make yourself a new ticker?

Emmy, you are OVing too!! its like OV week!!! I hope hope hope that temp stays up!! enjoy your early night hun

my day was nice, walked in the snow to my swedish class, sweden really is pretty when it snows! my OH is going to take the holiday as unpaid all he needs to do now is find someone to cover him. thank you so much for all being so sweet about it, im not usually a moaning mytle I promise!! tonight I am making chicken and vege stew, and I am going to be very naughty and have some wine!

Not to want to be left out from the OVing week my OPK is was quite dark this morning and even darker just now almost positive yay! Im on CD 15 of a 30ish day cycle. also (TMI warning) I have EWCM (before i started TTC I never imagined that i could get so excited looking at my own knickers!) I dont have any temp increase yet, its my 1st month temping and they seem really unpredictable

hugs to you all Amy xxx

 

[EmmyReece]

yay lovie am so pleased your oh is still going to take the holiday

the chicken and veg stew sounds very yummy

ooooohhhh Amy it really does seem like ov week here doesn't it?? good luck hun, hope you catch the eggy

we're having onion soup and cheesy bread tonight so I'll have to make a bit more of an effort exercise wise, ohhh and I got myself some choccy m & ms

 

[lovie]

choccy m+m's Yum!!! I have the a chocalate santa left over from christmas looking at me, he's going to just have to stay there on that shelf or maybe I need to hide him he's tempting me!!!

 

[EmmyReece]

I've not had choccy for ages, they accidentally slipped into the trolley

This thread is bonkers this week

Lovie, I was fairly positive I was ovulating as I had pains, I was on day 17 and I had 2 lines on the POAS. Usually, that's a definite ov so I was suprised when the CBFM still said high and not eggy. I have read that sometimes the surge gets stronger during the day so thought i'd check later on. The CBFM won't let you test more than once a day so I bought some single ov tests to double check. I am now so glad that I did!

I am very glad that your DH is coming on the holiday with you. That's fantastic and will be a great break for you both.

Tarkwa, your meal last night sounds gorgeous. I am so glad you had a lovely evening.

I am making beef casserole for dinner tonight, it's in the slow cook. Lots of veggies to fill me up. I had WW chicken noodle soup for lunch and was suprised to see it was 0 points!! I realised why 45 mins later when I was Hank Marvin starvng again ;-)

 

[Tarkwa]

Just been and done the weekly shop. Nothing exciting - going to have to think of something to do to some cod fillets - any suggestions? We're having left over chilli tonight with rice instead. And I'll get to eat the jelly (finally!) and finish off the muffins with a lovely cuppa . Have lots of heavy duty gardening planned for tomorrow (hopefully burn of the calories from last night and the toffees that weren't in the muffins ) and swimming on Sunday morning before heading over to in-laws so they can see DH for his birthday. Not looking forward to MIL going on about us having a baby, I just know she will . At least DH understands just how much it upsets me now. I've been thinking of answering her back with some statistic like "Did you know that 1 in 7 couples have fertility problems" or "On average it takes 95% of couples to conceive within in 2 years, well, we're in the other 5%". But then she and everyone there would know and I don't want that, I just don't. Raaaaaaargh! Sorry for the rant - I just don't want to go at all because of that, but I can't get out of it.
Please god - let it be my turn this month!

[Traskey]

Awwwwwww, Tarkwa

I wish I was clever enough with words to think of a suitable retort for your MIL! Alas, my thing is numbers. I say bamboozle her with statistics Although to be honest, i'd probably resort with sarcasm, "Trust me, you'll be the tenth to know!" Is that bad of me?

Would it help if DH had a word in her ear, away from the rest of the family about not asking every time you go and see them. You don't ask about her haemorroids or flaky scalp every time you go, right?

I still don't understand why people feel they can say this stuff and that be ok. I am sorry that you have to go through this every time you visit.

I have everything X that this month will be your month! You have a good feeling about this month so stick with it.

 

[karla1]

well it was second week at fat club (first real weigh in) and drum roll please......................................4lbs off would love to get 3 off this week to make it the half a stone mark

 

[Tarkwa]

WOW!!! Well done Karla - you should very proud of yourself.

[karla1]

thanks hunny my OH joined with me as he will also do whatever it takes to get us that sticky little pickle (i always think scan photos look like a pickle) and he lost 3lbs so hopefully we are well on our way x

 

[Traskey]

Wow Karla, that's a great loss. CONGRATULATIONS to you and hubby

 

[lovie]

thats awsome weight loss karla!!! yay for your hubby aswell!! do you 2 ever get competative about your pounds lost? when i have dieted with my OH he gets really grumpy if i get a bigger loss that him, really unfair as I have more to lose! FX for 3 for you next week, if you keep up what you did last week there is no reason why you cant get 4 again!!

oh tarkwa it must be really hard to have to try and deflect MIL's questions. Maybe ask your DH to deal with these questions, it is his mother after all. I really really hope this is the last month of you having to deflect these questions FX!!!!

so far we have kept ttc private knoledge apart from my mum (she thinks we are ntnp), and a couple of close friends, I find friends dont have so much personal hoping for a baby, whereas family want a baby for you but allso for themselfs. At the moment when we get asked we are just doing the coy we will see rutine. what has everyone else done with the family questions?

trasky I LOVE the "dont worry you will be the 10th to know" I might follow this up with "we will send you the payment details for the pram/cot/nappies that we need seeing as you seem to think this is your business!"

Thanks for the info on OV trasky, I have really obvious symptoms when AF is due but I have never noticed much around OV....

 

[karla1]

hi lovie yeah we do get really competative about it but we find that helps us both stick to it he was pretty miffed i lost more than him lol 1-0 to me lol x

 

[lovie]

im on team karla! i bet you can get him again next week! xx

 

[EmmyReece]

karla that is a fab weight loss

I've watched the first episode of season 2 of one born every minute, and am on the second episode now ... already shed a few tears but everyone seems to love it so I thought I'd best have a look what I'm missing out on

 

[Traskey]

Morning ladies,

I've cut down my points and managed to only eat 26 of my 36 points allocated yesterday. This morning though I am trying to eat a large breakfast, smaller lunch and even smaller dinner. The turkey rashers were yummy

 

[EmmyReece]

good luck for today Traskey, sounds like you're doing brill with the points

have you got a meal plan for today?

I'm on a high, tomorrow if my temp stays above 36.03 then I'll be 3 dpo I decided to have a play about with temps on ff and figured out that's the minimum I need to hit

 

[lovie]

well done cutting down on the points trasky! good luck with the big breakfast smaller lunch and smaller dinner, I find it really hard to cut down on food in the evenings, I am not bothered about food in the day but as soon as it gets to 6 o'clock my tummy starts rumbling! I have tried to drink fruit teas instead of snaking.

yay for your high temps emmy I hope it stays up!!

I think I have messed up my temps, it was 36.9 this morning (36.5 yesterday) but I think this might be from drinking wine last night, I feel like I have really let myself and my OH down

we are off out to go iceskating now, I hope you are all having a nice relaxing weekend! amy xxxxx
