Bellys to Bumps

[Traskey]

Oh have fun skating, what great exercise! I don't think the glass of wine makes a difference to your temperature, so you haven't let you and DH down. From seeing people's charts the temps do fluctuate.

I too am more of an evening eater, which is why I am trying this today to see if it makes a difference. I am always starving by evening so thought maybe I wasn't eating enough earlier on in the day. Will see how it goes.

Tonight I have mince out so either spaghetti or cottage pie me thinks.

Emmy, it sounds promising for ov, lots of My digi ov says I am day 2 of ov.

 

[EmmyReece]

Amy you haven't let yourself or dh down at all my temps have fluctuated like mad sometimes hope you have a fab time skating

Traskey I used to get absolutely ravenous later on in the evening and since making sure I eat 3 meals a day rather than snacking, I've found it really helps

I've been thinking of ways to tell my mum if I'm lucky and catch the eggy, and wanted to run this idea past you all. Mum didn't get me anything for my birthday and she keeps on that we need to go shopping so I choose something. I was thinking of waiting until the 2ww was over if I get high temps tomorrow, and then go into town and choose a pregnancy book from waterstones and see if she clicks

 

[Traskey]

Well, that would sure be a fun way of telling her you were pregnant! I haven't even allowed myself to think that I would get that far. The most I have done is work out on my iphone app what the due date would be

I am going to read up today on charting temperatures so I know what to do and what the different temps mean. I may sneak a look at all your charts! Having a relaxing day today as out tomorrow.

 

[EmmyReece]

I'm having a lazy day too ... I took the dog for a walk and when I got back I got back into my pjs

What have you got planned for tomorrow?

I've decided Chris is having a night off from tonight, the poor thing is knackered and I don't want to be putting him under too much pressure. I'll see what my temp does in the morning and then decide if he's on a promise tomorrow or not

 

[Traskey]

Nothing exciting tomorrow, just going to town for contact lense check and eye test. Been putting it off for ages and now they are saying no more until my eyes are checked!

Then a rest in the afternoon, as I always watch the American Football and it's Superbowl tomorrow so late night if I want to stay up and watch

Any plans for you or restful weekend?

 

[EmmyReece]

I'm having a lovely restful weekend I think ... I'm feeling particularly lazy to be honest

Lol doesn't sound a like a fun day for you tomorrow until the superbowl starts

I can't believe I'm getting so excited about the possibility of oving

 

[Traskey]

It's ok to be happy about ov. I always am when I see it and get stressed when I don't. Then it's the 2WW *bangs head*

I've just found out that our best woman at the wedding is expecting child number 3 with her new partner. DH has known for a few days but didn't want to tell me incase I got upset. Bless him. I didn't realise I was reacting so badly to everyone around me at the moment being pregnant! I think he just realises how frustrating it all is. I need to do the lottery so we can afford the IVF.

 

[EmmyReece]

awwwwww bless him Traskey you're entitled to get upset, we all are. we all want this so badly and we all deserve a bit of good luck and to get our bfps and forever babies

if I've been lucky I'm in my 2 ww now ... just got to try and keep myself from symptom spotting

 

[lovie]

hi all it sounds like you are both having a nice relaxing weekend emmy and trasky!! I think I may join you in the PJ club after dinner emmy The idea of taking your mum out to buy a book seems really unique! she could burst into tears in the middle of waterstones tho! I'm not thinking that far ahead yet but I will have great fun telling them when my time comes

ice skating was fun!! we are planning to go on a frozen lake tomorrow if we get time, it is my OH's cousins birthday tomorrow, he has such a big family there is a birthday every week, too tempting to cheat on the diet!!!!

 

[Traskey]

That sounds like loads of fun! I wish I could risk it but as walking is hard enough for me, my DH says the thought of me on ice is too scary to contemplate

Do you enjoy living in Sweden? Is it very different to the UK?

 

[Tarkwa]

Good evening ladies! I'm sitting here in my PJs after having got back from Harvester (and needing something more comfortable to wear!). DH and I shared a plantation platter and ice cream sundae. I only ate half of my salad before mains arrived, but I did have all of my roll. Can't believe I've eaten out twice in the space of a week - we hardly EVER eat out! Well, bang goes a successful weigh in on Monday ! The reason we did was because we worked so hard in the garden today (well kinda - I've just tidied up while DH did all the hardcore stuff). It's still work in progress but is looking much better today. It's taken several years to get to this stage (we do everything ourselves) so we've still quite a way to go.

Ice skating Lovie - how cool are you?! Last time I went (~16 yrs ago!) I hit a ridge, fell to my knees and ended up bruising really badly (and I don't bruise easily!). I've not been skating since

Traskey, good plan with the breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dine like a pauper(!) plan - it's meant to be the best way of eating your meals (other than those who say little and often throughout the day).

Emmy hun, I've got everything X'd for you - I hope it was late ovulation (it's so hard to tell with such long cycles, isn't it . I love the way you'd tell your mum. I've thought about how I would tell my family, but I think I'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

I've been having 'twinges' today, down in my pelvic region (on my right side). I'm guessing it has something to do with my eggy - I'm hoping it's being fertilised and travelling down my fallopian tube into it's future home for the next ~38 weeks! I'm so hopeful about this cycle, but right now I don't feel any different from normal.

Hi everyone else! Enjoy your Saturday evening!

[EmmyReece]

Tarkwa it sounds like you've had a really productive day and eating out doesn't mean you won't have a good weigh in. I'm keeping everything crossed for you

Fingers crossed that the twinges are the eggy travelling down ... I've been having aches and twinges too and I'm pretty hopeful, but trying not to get too excited as I know I'll be really upset if it turns out I don't get a bfp

 

[Traskey]

Sounds to me like you've burnt of loads of calories in the garden today so I wouldn't feel to bad about going out to dinner. Fingers crossed for that eggy, keep going with the PMA, it all helps I think

 

[lovie]

hi tarkwa sounds like you had fun in the garden today, so sweet of you to clear up after your hubby! your dinner sounds super yummy! im sure you used up tons of calories in the garden today. My ice skating made me look very uncool! i was being overtaken by 3 year old children! I wanted to do something different for excersise today as I walk monday-friday.

trasky sorry to here walkings hard, is there a gentle kind of excercise that you enjoy like swimming? I do enjoy Sweden in some ways, it is very well organised, it doesnt really have a class system in the same way the uk does, so everything seems very equal which makes for quite a calm atmosphere. We chose to live in sweden because it is such a great place to bring up children, just need our BFP now!! I miss england lots, I miss the tv I miss the humour... swedish people have a ummm particular sence of humour! I miss the way english people can be synicle and love moaning! I miss going to the shop and knowing what to buy... they have NO jelly in sweden we checked today

yay for twinges tarkwa and emmy!! go eggys go!!!

 

[EmmyReece]

lovie I bet you didn't look half as bad as you think, I've not been ice skating for years ... was it as much fun as I remember? I can't believe they don't have jelly :O I'll send you some across if you want?

I'm feeling quite sorry for myself ... my cramps have turned into a bit of a sicky feeling so am scared I'm coming down with a tummy bug as 2 dpo is far too early for morning sickness I've decided to have an off night, so I'm having marmite on toast because I don't have folic acid in and it's better to be safe than sorry right (?), followed by choccy mousse and a mug of hot choccy with some biccies.

hope everyone is having a nice night

 

[lovie]

your a sweety emmy, my mums visiting in 2 weeks so i will put jelly and marmite on the shopping list for her to bring me, thanks for the offer tho hun your a super star!

I definatly didnt look cool, im really really bad at looking cool, a good friend of mine once said "amy you are so uncool you are allmost cool!" I have some what of an at best "unique style"!!

I hope the sicky feeling doesnt turn into a tummy bug has marmite got folic acid in it? i have 2 pots of folic acid but i am really bad at remembering to take them!

x

 

[Traskey]

Aww Emmy, I always have marmite and toast when I am feeling blech. Hope you aren't coming down with something. There is a lot of it around at the moment.

Lovie, you should make a list for your mum. These are all the things I need and can't get over here. It's amazing what you miss when you can't get hold of it!

 

[EmmyReece]

oddly enough I feel loads better now I've had something to eat

lovie yep marmite does have folic acid in it, my friend told me now that I've ovd I should be taking it, but because I haven't got any in at the moment marmite should do the trick until monday

it's better to be unique and to have your own sense of style than to follow everyone else and not feel comfortable in yourself

 

[Traskey]

It takes 3 months for the folic acid to get into your system properly, so you need to be taking it asap girls. I know it's a pain, remembering to take the tablet, but it'll be worth it

 

[EmmyReece]

Id better pick some up on Monday, it's top of my shopping list now

Am not so bad remembering to take tablets, it's remembering to buy them that gets me
