Bellys to Bumps

Emmy that's great!!!!!!!!!!

5 dances are better than 0 dances. Get you with your groove on :happydance::yipee::ninja::loopy::rain::holly:
 
Emmy but it feels great afterwards, doesn't it, even though getting all sweaty isn't all that enjoyable! lol

lovie sorry about the bfn, but it really IS very early so fx that it turns into a bfp later on. :flower:

Traskey I don't mind laundry, but I hate vacuuming. You wanna trade? :D I did Jillian Michaels' 'No more trouble zones', which is more about strength training than an aerobic workout. Though since it's her dvd, you're moving the entire time so it's aerobic as well. My arms feel like jelly! Maybe do something else like a little while on the crosstrainer later, if I get my strength back. =)

What's the book about? Did you see the documentary 'The Great Sperm Race'? It explains conception quite nicely, and after that you also wonder how anyone ever gets pregnant, let alone how many women manage it so easily! So many things have to happen the right way, right after another, to make it possible.

Waiting for carrots to cook, then gonna add in some broccoli and do some chicken on the pan - again. Don't feel up to making anything more complicated.
 
:rofl: Traskey the booby one is more like me :haha:

and yep Strawberry it does feel pretty good afterwards :D Just wish they'd release some new songs as I'm not overly keen on the ones on the game :dohh:
 
Strawberry ~ absolutely I will trade you the vacuum for laundry. I don't mind the vacuum at all. Your dinner sounds lovely.

Emmy ~ here's hoping that sports bra is working then ;)

I got a tip from another WW to reduce my points to 29 to see if that shifts some of this weight! Here's hoping! I'll give that a go and no weekly points.
 
:thumbup: hope it works for you hun, let us know how you get on :hugs:

how are you feeling today?

yep the sports bra seemed to be working :happydance: just got to put it to the test properly at the gym lol ... really can't wait to get started, am going to ask them on Monday that if the assessment goes well, once I've done my induction, if it's ok to listen to music while on the gym equipment through an ipod, just that I'd probably concentrate better if I can switch off and focus on myself :)
 
hi all :) :flower::flower:

great idea with the ipod Em it will be good to be able to just concentrate on your workout! your induction is really soon! i cant wait to here about it when i get back! well done for the dancing :) 5 songs is half an album thats great:happydance: grrr for a rubish nights sleep, there is nothing worse! pyjamas is the way to go at weekends im also in my pj's now just so cosy!!

trasky the book sounds interesting! it is amazing we were ever conceived never mind born! I think its a good idea to drop the points you eat, at least for a trial and see if you loose better with fewer points, i must say when i did ww the points i was alocated worked out to be alot of food! will you let me know how the evening primrose oil goes? im planning on taking it next cycle with agnus catis. trasky i love :laundry::laundry::hangwashing: but i also hate hate hate hoovering! also i hate :dishes:

strawberry how is your low carb eating going? your dinner sounds yum! i hope your not missing your hubby too much!

off to do some :hangwashing: now xxxx
 
Emmy, you can have your iPod on whilst you work out. I do, I find I can exercise for longer if I am listening to my favourite songs. The faster the better though when working out. Too slow and I walk slow on the machine :haha:
 
Think I'd best download some fast dancey music then :thumbup: I can see me being exactly the same Traskey.

Got to go to co - op for the 3rd time this week, I've run out of lemons and salad :dohh:

What's everyone else up to tonight?
 
i have just died my hair and it looks ridiculous!!! i look like a dalmation! about to cook dinner and then go to the airport :)
 
Hi Ladies, :wave:

Hope you're all keeping well, sorry I havent been on in ages, we were having PC issues!!

We had our appointment yesterday with Dr Clara O'Flaherty in Galway, she is just lovely. It was a long consultation, from 11am till 1.15pm! It went fantastic, we had a chat about our history, she was delighted that we have nearly 5 months of tracking done, she went through the food print with us and told me not to be so strict on it, if I fancy something Im not ment to have not to deny myself, but once I get pregnant I have to be more strict on it (which I wont mind). :happydance:

I had told her about my previous vists to our old FS, who constantly told me to loose weight and then it would happen! Dr Clara told me that I know the importance of loosing weight to be healthier and she told me she wouldnt mention it again (which I was delighted about!) :happydance:

While there I had an internal scan, which Dr Boyle sat in on ( I was impressed) they both confirmed that I dont have PCOS or Endometriosis, I do however have a small folicile growing but they think its too small to rupture.

They have given me the following meds....

Naltrexone - these tablets are to help control PMS, Sleep disturbance & low moods. I have to take 2mg for 1 week, then 3mgs week 2, then 4.5 on week 3 and continue until Dr says to stop. She explained that there can be some side effects if I have any for a more than a week I have to lower the dosage.

Femera - Take 5 tablets on Day 3 of cycle.

HCG Injections - on Peak day I have to inject 20,000 units which is 2 10,000 into each side of my stomac, then on P +3 +5 +7 +9 I have to inject 5000 units.

Vitiam's - both myself & DH have to take
4000 mgs of Vitiam D 3 (sona brand) which is 4 tablets
2000 mgs of Omega 3 (sona brand) which is 2 tablets
1 Fertility Plus tablet with our main meal, DH is on these for 3 months I am on them until told otherwise.


I still have to have peak+7 bloods taken each month & then phone Galway with the results Dr Clara might adjust the meds if needed. She did say that it could take 2 months from the time we start all meds before we're allowed to try. I wont be starting my meds till March as we have missed this cycle.

We have our nxt appointment with Dr Clara on 2nd of June, which is 13 weeks time.

So how have you all been keeping? I have really missed chatting with you all, its going to take me ages to read all the posts xxx

Wow! That is some medication. It sounds so complicated :wacko: but so worth it if it gets you that bfp. :thumbup:

Its good that this doctor isn't mentioning your weight either because I can see by your ticker you have lost 65lbs so they can hardly say you havn't tried. xxx
 
:hugs: it sounds like it was a really constructive appointment april :thumbup:

the meds sound really confusing, but as ebony says if it helps you to get your bfp then it'll all be worth it :hugs:
 
Hello ladies :wave:

Twinkle - you must have felt amazing going for a dress TWO WHOLE SIZES SMALLER!!!! Yay :wohoo:! I'm sure you will look stunning chick!

April, that sounds like a lot of medication, but if it gets you that much wanted BFP then I think I'd probably chop off and sell my right arm so popping a few pills and a couple of injections is nothing! Yey for Dr Clara - we like her :happydance:.

Traskey, I hear what the others are saying about kick starting your diet to shift a few extra pounds, but long term it's just not good for you as you've already said. Maybe a couple/few days to 'detox' your body is ok, but any longer and it could backfire. The key is drinking lots and LOTS of water - it really fills you up chick (I just wish I'd remember to drink it!).

Lovie - I dyed my hair once at home and it went REALLY patchy so I know what you mean when you say dalmation :haha:! So sorry about the bfn hun, if AF is late then try again - FX'd. I hope you are enjoying your time with your family hun :hugs:.

Ebony - :hugs: - getting that bfp and then losing it must have really hurt. Good thing is that you got there - FX'd for you chick.

Lisa, 4.5lbs is FABULOUS! :wohoo:! Keep it up girl :happydance:.

Emmy, 5 dances is a great start - remember you are at the beginning of your journey and will keep getting stronger :bodyb:.

Strawberry - I'll do your vacuuming! I love my dyson and would give anything to use it again (we have no carpet in our house - bare floorboards upstairs, and wooden floor downstairs). When our house is finished it will be carpet EVERYWHERE and I would hoover every day if I could (well, I can, but I'm not going to!). You have so much energy - I wish I had that this week, it's been a bit crap, but it's picked up since last night :winkwink:.

Hi to everyone else on here that I've not mentioned above. Hope you all have fabulous weekends.

So ladies, I'm completely and utterly confused :? as to what AF is playing at :shrug:. She STILL hasn't appeared so I'm just going to assume it was a really weird period (TMI ALERT - all that brown goo) and start bonking every other day now. Because of the lack of 'proper' period, I'm not going to take my clomid (just yet), just in case she does come later (wouldn't want to muck up my cycles more than they already are right now!) Will explain situation to FS on Wednesday and see what they have to say. Not sure what will happen at this appt - are they expecting me to have a BMI below 30 so they can move onto ART? I'm not even sure what I weigh right now and I don't want to weigh in on Monday as I'm scared (I must have put on weight). I just want this nightmare to end - I've had enough nw and want to wake up to that bfp. It's not too much to ask for, is it?! :cry:

DH and I were in the garden all day getting it ready for our log cabin so lots of moving rubble and soil about. Didn't feel like hard work, but hoping a few lbs will fall off :haha:! He's just finished studying :coffee: for the night so I will catch up with you all tomorrow.
Have a lovely Saturday evening! :thumbup:
xxx
 
:hugs: it's not too much to ask for at all ... I think you're right to wait until you see your fs to confirm whether or not to take the clomid, maybe they can offer some suggestions about your weird af? And I should think moving the soil and rubble about in the back garden should help you to shed a few lbs at least :hugs:

April ~ welcome back, we missed you! Your meeting for the napro sounds really positive and I have everything crossed for you. I am glad that there is no endo or pcos :) Good news indeed. Let us know how you get on with the tablets and injections! Hopefully you will have a bfp in no time.

Lovie ~ sorry about the hair dye disaster! Just in time for your holiday too. Is it fixable or is a visit to the hairdresser needed?

Tarkwa ~ I am glad that you are feeling a little better today :) Hopefully that was your period so that you can move on with your new cycle. Good luck for Wednesday at the clinic, I hope all goes well.

Emmy ~ I'll have a look on my ipod and see what's on it. I have all sorts. 80s rock and pop and I know I have a dance workout cd but can't remember what's on it. A lot of the tracks you've picked I suspect.
 
Good morning ladies, how are you all today?

Tarkwa it does sound confusing whether you've had af or not, but I guess you'll hear more at your appointment! We don't have carpets, actually hardly anyone does in Finland, we have wooden/vinyl floors but with two cats and two dogs weekly vacuuming (should do even more often...) is a must! Of course I also mop the floors as well each week. I've often figured that if/when we have a baby crawling round on the floor, I'll have to start vacuuming more often! And I don't think it's too much to ask either, I think we've waited long enough...

lovie
sorry about the hair disaster! Did you end up dyeing it again?

Emmy sorry I'm no help as I don't have workout music, since I use DVDs or just watch telly while I'm on the crosstrainer.

april wow you got a whole lot of meds to take, sounds like you had a good appointment. You mind me asking what your ttc "history" is? =)

I hopped on the scale again today as was curious, and this morning was -0.7kg since last weigh-in I told you about (Thursday or Friday?) so about -1.2kg in a week. Very happy with that!:happydance: Now I think I need to stop hopping on the scale so often as it's confusing to keep track of it! I'm sure you ladies agree. lol Just had to see it's going down again as that +0.5kg really annoyed me! :growlmad:

Did some yoga first thing today, it's fairly easy, mostly just relaxing and stretching but a couple of sweat-inducing postures in there. Maybe some zumba later on.

Have a great day ladies!
 
Morning ladies!

Well I LOVE my new hair, I feel very sophisticated and sexy! :haha: ok so maybe the sexiness is in my head!

Emmy, madonnas get in to the groove always energises me! Anything that makes me want to dance I used to listen to.

Just wondering if anyone has tried the fertility plan? I came across it last night, if you google "the fertility plan" the website comes up and there is a test to determine what your fertility type is, I did it and it was pretty accurate. You then buy the book and follow it's 3 month plan. I'm very tempted but thought I would check here first to see if anyone knows anything about it?

xxxx
 
No, I haven't heard of that one, but I am doing the questionnaire out of curiosity now hehe.

So glad that the haircut went well and you feel fab! You deserve it after all that hard work decorating :)

Strawbery, :wohoo: that's a good loss in the right direction. I have to restrain myself from hopping on the scales all the time.
 
I don't normally go in for things like this, but for £8.99, I'm kind of thinking its worth a try?! And they reccommend certain supplements too. Hmm! Let me know how you get on Traskey. xxx

ETA: My types are tired and stuck, think I agree with both, but especially stuck.
