I know it's probably daft to think of names etc ... but Chris started batting girls names around lol and it's one we both like Lorelai / Rory Wright though

 

[Traskey]

Sounds good to me I've been reading through your journal too.

How has the diet gone today? I've managed to stick to points today so far

 

[EmmyReece]

yay for sticking to your points how are you feeling about the diet?

I've done quite well today ... had a banana, yoghurt and slice of toast earlier, then chicken, tomato, cucumber and a bit of stuffing for lunch ... not sure what to have this evening I might just have some soup and another yoghurt

 

[Lisa84]

Awww Nice names Emmy xx Its not daft to think of them at all. We have had names for girls picked since before we even started trying lol xx

 

[Traskey]

I talked through the diet with DH. He's convinced me to give it another week or two to see if the weight starts shifting again before I try and think of more drastic measures. It just seems too early into the diet to be hitting a plateau. I've upped the exercise, upped the water intake, cut out sugar and fizz to see if that jolts my system back into loss.

I hope so anyway!

hia lovely ladies

Welcome countrylass everyone here is so lovely you will love it here!! these ladies are keeping me sane! well done with your weight loss so far, you did amazingly! what diet did you do? (id love tips!!) I know what you mean about being happy with your self image untill you started to ttc. im 227 pounds and a size 18 and I feel sexy with my boyfriend and confident in my physical ability. for sure I have bits of my body I dont like but I had bits of my body that i didnt like when I was a size 12! have fun here im looking forward to getting to know you better

zowie I hope you had a super cosy sunday with your hubby! B+B is great, its good that we are all so truthfull! id love to put my B+B post and facebook status next to each other.. B+B might say something like "what a rubish day stupid cycle, grrrrrrrrr!!!!!" and facebook would say "having a lovely day in sweden!"

Hay trasky hope your good mmmm roast dinner lucky you! and lucky your OH!!

emmy I am soooooo excited for you!!! happy ing feels so good doesnt it? im loving the name ideas especially Lorelai

the ice skating went well, we skated about 1.5 km out onto this frozen lake and then I had to walk back, (bit tricky on slippy ice!) just had fetta salad with fresh coriander for dinner it was yum! I need to google how many cals 1 tsp of oliv oil has in it, but i have allready eaten it now so not much to do! Oh and we did DTD on friday when I had my ewcm so my fingers are tentertively crossed!

[EmmyReece]

oooohhhh lovie, fetta salad sounds so yummy ... think I'll be sending my fella out for some tomorrow

did you fall over at all when you were walking back on the ice? I'm so clumsy I'd have ended up on my backside so many times.

I'm very, very excited about being 3 dpo ... every little ache and twinge I stop and think oooohhhh it could be a little eggy travelling down ready to implant I'm so glad you ladies like Lorelai It doesn't sound odd with the surname Wright does it?

it may be down to ov hun ... my nurse was saying that last time I saw her and she said it's natural for weight to fluctuate around then

 

[lovie]

WARNING TMI!

just went to do my evening OPK, the ones I have say that you have to leave the wee to cool down to room temperiture befor you test (very yuk!) so before dinner I did my wee and just went to do the OPK test... this is what was happened next

"BABY!!!!! what did you do with my wee???"
"put it down the toilet"
"BAAAAAABY!!!!"

I really hope my neighbours didnt here us!

 

[EmmyReece]

awwwwwwww no lovie

 

[Traskey]

OMG

I know I shouldn't laugh, but I have had the absolute worst day and that made me chuckle.

Looks like you need to drink and produce more for your test!

 

[lovie]

I didnt fall over once on the ice but i did fall over in toys r us carpark later in the day! i never get injured doing dangerous things, its allways when its really safe and therefore more embarrasing!!!

I think Lorelai sounds like a super pretty girls name, definatly not a surname! go eggy go!!!!!!!

the salad was yum, although I put 2 teaspones of olive oil in the dressing and just googled it and it 66 cals! I wont have olive oil next time!

trasky I'd keep up what you are doing for a little while longer, how many weeks have you been on it? sometimes i find that i dont lose anything but my chloths still feel looser, weight loss is just so odd! maybe your body is just getting used to it, I bet soon you will get a masive energy burst and a nice loss to go with it

xx

ahhhhh you sound like my complete and utter clumsiness double

Traskey, glad the bigger brekkie helped hun and well done on saving your points ! Dieting does get harder as you progress - I have a book by Judith Wills called the Diet Bible and it explains lots of questions about why it's harder to shift weight. I'll have a proper look at that section/question and let you know if there is anything that might help you chick. I think what you're doing is a good thing though. And why have you had such a horrible day hun? Anything we can do to help?

Emmy, as Traskey says you must take your temp first thing in the morning before you get out of bed. No idea why , but consistency is important as you must compare like-for-like. The baby names you've chosen are lovely and go nicely with your surname. I try not to think about names that much and feel it's not right to talk to DH about it until we've got the BFP, but that's just funny ol' me! I did love the name Madeline until that poor little girl went missing, and Chloe before I met my DH - his sister is called Chloe! I guess I'm like Lisa84 having thought of names before trying, and even before I met my DH!!!!!!

Zowiey, 41 cycles is a bloody long time. No-one should have to wait that long, but I really do believe the best things come to those who wait. Glad your AF symptoms are nicer than they were before, must be the HSG if that is the only thing that has changed. Never giv eup though, but if you feel you need to then take some time out. Only you will know if it's right to do that (sorry, not much help at all). I saw a post for Emmy on another thread saying 'Give up/have a break, that's how I got pregnant" but it's different for everyone. I wish my DH would sit still for 5 mins, let alone 2 hours to watch a film. I just wish we could have 'relaxy' time together but he's always wanting to do something that's not sitting still or moping in bed . Infertility is a black hole - but let's not get sucked into it - we're stronger than that!!!

Lovie, your cycles sound a little crazy, and I completely understand about OH being away. That's happened to me for a few months after DH started back at uni. That's why I was so positive about this month, because it was his birthday, he's been taking wellman conception and valentine's day is coming up. what a present that would be! Better than the box of Guylian I've bought him (which does have a heart case around it). 2lbs a week is achievable - go for it!!! And yay for the ice skating - I think Emmy's right about it being good for your tummy (centre of balance and all that). You made me LOL when I read your pee story !!!

Welcome countrylass! I think you'll like it on here - everyone is sooooo supportive and it's nice to be able to talk when you can't/don't want to in the 'real world'! Our bodies are funny things - I like mine, but it's a bit big. My worst bit is the tops of my legs - I have chicken drumsticks for thighs! But the annoying thing is that our bodies do settle at a weight, which is why we find it hard to lose weight (Judith Wills - Diet Bible). No matter what we do it's more difficult to shift it and when it's the only thing that appears to stand in your way of getting that BFP it's heartbreaking. It was never a problem before, but now it's all that matters. It's so unfair.

Phew, what a post and I'm not even finished. Saw MIL today and she was fine. Only one metion of pregnancy and that was for her niece-in-law who is 40 and had her first babe a year ago. She said her biological clock was ticking so it wouldn't be long before she and her partner had another baby. It was a little hurtful as she did direct it right at me, but I guess I'm more prepared now than I was on boxing day when it seemed like she was dropping hints every few mins!

Still having twinges down there, but am even more worried as I ate peanuts and more pate today! If I was trying to read between the lines I'm thinking she was hoping I might say 'Oh, I can't/won't eat pate' and have to explain why, so I made sure she could see I was eating it. The way she is about baby stuff I don't even want to tell her until we have a scan but DH said that wsan't fair (true, but she winds me up so much sometimes that I feel it should be her 'punishment'!!!). Anyway, it's getting late and I've been typing away for ages. Going to snuggle up to DH and talk about log cabins/summer-houses for our garden.

Night night, sleep tight, and here's to a REALLY successful week!

I don't know how you stick it ... comments like that would really upset me. And I certainly don't blame you for not wanting to tell her until you guys have a scan. I'm so worried about telling Chris' parents when the time comes to it as his mum made a point of saying she was too young to be a grandma Hope you enjoy your night snuggled up with dh hun

I only record my temp in the morning before I get out of bed (I have the laptop at my side, fertility friend logged in ready to record the temp I get lol), though I have to admit I do have a go at night just to see whether it goes up or down the following morning lol

 

[lovie]

so glad it went well with the MIL today tarkwa, when you get your BFP it is your and your hubbys noone elses you tell them when you want to hun! I hope the twinges are is miss eggy and mr sperm getting settled in! I wouldnt worry about the nuts and pate, im sure our mums all at whatever they wanted when they were pregnant with us and we are fine!! log cabbin in the garden how exciting!!!

id like to say sorry to tarkwa and trasky, I always get your names muddled up! im dyslexic and the TARkwa and TRAsky is just too much for me, I do try but sorry when I get it muddled

I am found OBEM on a random website, it isnt great quality but im a happy girl, im watching the one with the young couple and the water birth and the black couple, I want it to be my turn allready!!

xx

 

[lovie]

awww emmy dont worry about his mums opinion

 

[EmmyReece]

awwwww I saw the one with the young couple in the pool ... she did so well, I really hope I can be like her when the time comes ... and I'd love a water birth, just because I can be in the worst pain ever and a bath really helps to sooth it

I'm getting proper achey niggles on my right side, but far too early for me to be feeling anything so I think I'm just interpreting any twinge as something big as I've never been in this situation before - knowing that I'm however many dpo

Chris' mum can think what she likes lol ... me and Chris want a baby, we don't need to consult her otherwise it'd never happen

 

[lovie]

you should enjoy tracking your DPO, hopefully you get your BFP so wont need to do it again for a long while! x
