Bellys to Bumps

[EmmyReece]

thanks hun, am going to transfer it to my phone tomorrow. I felt amazing when we were there, I strutted around in a bikini (even though you can clearly see I wasn't skinny), I just want the whole attitude back and I'm determined to get it back somehow

 

[lovie]

hello lovely ladies

I am sorry i have been away for so long! it has been a busy summer!! no good news from me tho... i tried relaxing, it didnt bloody work!! oh well back to stressing, alltho not this month as my sperm doner (boyfriend) is away over my fertile time (how inconsiderate!) i actually considered asking him to "donate" some sperm and freez it (yuk i know) i didnt do that as a;I dont think it would work and b:id probably forget about it and accedently get it out the freezer when we had guests.

as for ww.. i ate rubish all summer! i weighed 91 kg but the last 2 weeks i have eaten very healthy and am back down to 86 kg... back to ww next week, and i really have to focus on getting my weight down to 75 kg, i could do with some advice, it has now been a year that we have been ttc, do you think I should go to the doctor even tho my bmi is over 30? i am not sure if they will do anything for me till i loose weight anyway... i am in half a mind to loose the weight and then go to the doctor... maybe aim for christmas... all opinions would be helpfull

emmy you have the most amazing tan in your older pic! as others have said use it as inspiration! dont be too hard on yourself, i think you look really pretty in the pic at the beach, concentrate on the bits of you that you love

im sorry you have been feeling rubish twinkle pj's are just so comfy, it is hard to not stay in them all the time.

I'd go to the docs lovie but be aware they might tell you to lose weight. It's a good idea to get a couple of months worth of bloods so that could take you up to Xmas anyway. Might as well get the ball rolling and it'll be hard to lose weight over/just before Xmas

 

[EmmyReece]

I'd say go the dr and get the ball rolling hun, they could do tests etc. If it's concerning you then it could help to put your mind at rest slightly if you know you're doing something about it

Sorry hakan is away over your fertile time hun, will still keep everything crossed for you for next cycle xx

I'm just going to work as hard as possible to get back to the size I was at when I was in tunisia, because I was just so much more confident in myself, and that's what I want more than anything - the confidence. Plus there's the added bonus of af hopefully returning properly as I was having once every 6 weeks then

I'm really lucky and tan soooooo easily, like this one from turkey, we'd only been there a week

at my boobs in this piccy, think they need some more support

 

[lovie]

oh my gosh i have tan envy!! i am allways scared to wear a bikini incase my boobs escape... mine have minds of their own lol

 

[Traskey]

It's official. I have no boobs and have boob envy

Add in tan envy too!

Welcome Amby

Twinks, sorry you are having a pj crisis moment with Dominoes Any reason why or just general pd off?

Emmy, you are gorgeous whatever size you are. I'd use the Tunisia pic as inspiration for your weight loss. Don't let that nasty relative make you have a food crisis. You are doing so well. Hang in there.

Amy, I'd go and see the doc, get the ball rolling with the bloods, like Cran said. Welcome back, we missed you and your SOH! Freeze the sperm



Ps, the IVF drugs are making me as hungry as a horse!

 

[EmmyReece]

I'd happily share if I could

 

[twinkle1975]

Amy!!!!!!!!! Very selfishly I'm glad to have you back!! I nearly choked laughing at the thought of you getting a bag of sperm out of the freezer in front of guests! I'd definitely go to the dr - my BMI is still in the 40s and my GP sent me for blood tests, DH for SA and the FS has got me down for an HSG. Yes they've told me to lose weight but at least they're checking other things while I'm doing it (or not doing it!!)

Cran - how are you doing? - I love the fact that your LO is learning which is the right way up atm!!

Emmy - can I borrow a bit of your confidence? I wore a swimming costume for the first time in 6 years on Sunday & I'd made sure I faded into the background with as boring as possible costume - wish I had the confidence to wear something prettier!

Trask - what's down regulation??

hey Lisa & anyone else lurking!

I'm not 100% sure why I'm down -things haven't been great at home -

Matthew was a knob over the weekend - drunk out of his head on his birthday night out, nearly knocking a flat screen tv off the pub wall & using foul language in front of my boss & his wife - I ended up shouting at him like you would a small child "Get down off there or we're going home Right Now!" All the women there looked at me with pity and all the men were making out I was a hen-pecking wife - they didn't have to go home with him later!!! I was so cross with him!!

The weight loss isn't going great, my house is a shit tip, we haven't had decent sex in ages and I'm just feeling totally listless

Sorry I know that's all pathetic but I just feel like it's all piled up!

 

[EmmyReece]

no hun it doesn't sound pathetic at all it sounds like you need more support from your oh and for him to act like an adult when you're out sorry hun if I sound out of order, but he should be helping you and supporting you

as for swim suits hun, I get mine from simply be ... and the bikini I was wearing in tunisia I got from matalan

the way I think about it when I'm abroad is that none of these people will ever see me again so why not wear something that makes me feel good about myself, and you should too hun

 

[twinkle1975]

You're not out of order - thanks petal.
p.s - Hubba hubba - your boobs look amazing in that last pic!!

Hi. Quick update. Spoilered in case you're having a poo day and don't wanna hear it. If you are then big hugs

Spoiler

I'm good. Had to start insulin A few weeks ago. Had been monitoring it because of the pcos making my bloods a bit high in the past. I'm not sure if it's diabetes but it's def gestational diabetes ATM. Hopefully it'll go back to normal after the birth. Its not so bad and means I can eat biscuits! The weight has started to creep on but I didn't gain anything til 23w or something so I think that's quite good going

All good tho really. Sugar levels are the only concern and they're fine (average level since 0w preggers is 5.2 which is well in the normal range) just gotta be careful. It's going too fast tho! Totally don't feel ready for this but I know it's gonna be fun and scary etc. Time just seems to be speeding up. Making up for when it dragged while ttc i spose.

[EmmyReece]

we're going to Chris' mum and dad's caravan for a few nights, can't wait to get away

 

[EmmyReece]

Could I sleep last night? Could I bugger

But I now know what's causing it Af has decided to make her appearance today of all days the one night that we're at his parents caravan without them and af decides to turn up

At least it explains the stomach and back ache, doesn't make it any easier though, I just want to curl into a ball and cry myself to sleep

 

[Lisa84]

 

[EmmyReece]

thanks hun, just counted and it has been 43 days since the last visit from af, I don't know whether that's a good or bad thing

just kicking myself now as I had kinda got my hopes up for some stupid reason

 

[Lisa84]

Never gets any easier does it Wish my bloody AF would show her face. I'm on 100+ and it's doing my head in!! xx
