Bellys to Bumps

[4magpies]

Ive just got back from fat club and lost 1lb. Not massive but im happy with that coz i havent been too good. I had a curry and been to the cinema twice and had popcorn and sweets both times so jm happy with just a pound xx

1lb is fab honey! I bet you wouldnt want it back if we asked ya? Haha.

Keep it up!!

Oh and I am now in my 2WW girls as I felt myself ovulate from my now good side yesterday (whilst in with the FS irony eh?! haha). Maybe the good news kicked it into action. This is the 1st month I have felt confident something could even happen so please have your FX'd for me.

My time will come! lol

 

[4magpies]

[Traskey]

Awwwww, she got me yesterday too

I love the little ditty Let's all hope we can use it next month

I'm trying to stay positive and have ordered some sensitive pregnancy tests from Amazon. I've also dug out the results of my hysteroscopy that I had last year to take with me to the FS next week.

 

[4magpies]

I have 20 IC preg tests to use this month... Lol. Dangerous.

I have swedish meatballs, lingonberry jam and some gorgeous mash potato with the creamy sauce last night. Was my mini treat for good news but still not really bad to eat. Just used a healthy extra milk to make sauce and syned the butter in the mash and the jam.

Sounds like you've been to Ikea recently! I love it there. Sorry about the Traskey and Love2bamummy - she finally made an appearance this morning for me, so I guess our cycles are fairly in sync?! I knew she was on her way, but at least I know I can start taking my clomid tomorrow. And god knows why they made this smilie with a smile on her face?!

With my bulk buy of IC OPKs and PT's I got my BBT thermometer so I've started charting today. Not sure if that will help or make me worry even more. My temp was around 36.4°c - not sure if that's normal or not, but it was above the red line, whatever that means!

I'm working from home again today (I do love my new job - it's so flexible. I quit my last one as I hated it there and thought the stress was stopping us conceiving, but no, it's unexplained ). I think I will go to the gym again today, might even have a swim! DH has headed up north for uni again - he's back on Sat night so I just have my 15 yr old puss (see avatar - isn't she gorgeous?!) to keep me company. Blimey, I do waffle, don't I?

4magpies - good luck with your 2lbs this week, I'm sure you'll do well. And lots of - I'll keep everything x'd for you.

I use the CBFM which tells me when I am about to ovulate but I was wondering whether to chart my temperatures as well. I would need to read up on it though as I have no idea what i'd be doing

I suspect a combination of weight, stress and age are working against me. I am working on the weight, age I can do little about. Not sure what to do about the stress though!

 

[Tarkwa]

Hey Traskey, I have the CBFM too, but can't use it with the clomid. Not sure I can use the IC OPK's either but hey, at only a few pennies a pop I don't care! The charting looks easy - I just mark the temp, day of week, month, OPK result, CM, saliva , period, and . Will see how it goes for a month and then decide whether to continue.

[Traskey]

Tarkwa, sounds like a plan to me! I didn't know you couldn't use it whilst on Clomid. I'll start charting and see how it goes. Just in case that's what they recommend next week.

Is it better to use a C thermometer or a F?

hello ladies - just read your thread all the way through - please can I join you?
I'm 36 and am doing WW - I've lost a stone (14lbs) so far but would have to lose 91 pounds to get my BMI to 30
We have our first FS appointment on 8th Feb - I know they're going to tell me that I'm too fat for them to do anything but will they just send me away full stop or will they tell me to lose some weight & then come back?

 

[Traskey]

Welcome Twinkle Good to see you

My first FS appointment is next week so I can let you know how badly I get moaned at! I have a very long way to go to get a BMI under 30 too.

Congratulations on losing 14 lbs so far, that's FABULOUS

What tests have you had so far? It depends what you problem is.

My problem is a buggered tube that they can fix. So they are fixing it for me because there is no BMI stipulations.

Welcome Twinkle1975, it's great to have you here with us!!

I was told to go back to FS when I'd lost 3-5 stone. I could have thumped the woman Typical comment from a stick thin Dr! I know I'm fat, I certainly don't need to be told it!

Ah well, I'm determined to prove them all wrong! I'm going on a WW soup making mission this weekend, I read they are good to freeze so I'm going to get some tubs and make a few batches of different varieties and label them up with the flavour and pro points value then I can have something different everyday and be all healthy!

I will try them out and if anyone wants the recipes just give me a shout.

 

[4magpies]

I love soup but I am on SW so I would have to syn the recipes!! Lol.

I feel dead hungry today. But I am gonna be good.

I had ONE minstrel before. How is that for self constraint? Haha.
