[Lil_Pixie]

Aww Hun, I don't have any tips! We all do everything right, and every single lady in here deserves a bfp (we've definately put our time in!) I honestly think in the end it just comes down to luck.

BUT me and dh were talkin last night, and i read somewhere that if your overweight losing 10% of your body weight can increase your chances by 14 times. I worked it out and I've lost 11%! honestly honestly I believe the thing that's different is bellys to bumps and all the support and advice and focus on losing weight and being healthy - I really believe bellys to bmps is goon be a good luck charm for lots of us! It must be the weight loss - it just has to be!

I haven't got any symptoms Hun, some cramps and that hippy pain I had but I'm not sure when that started. The only other thing is I'm drinking water like I'm in a desert! I never usually drink any, bub the last week and a half I'd say I've drank 2 - 3 litres every day.

Remember when I told you my dh had made an appt because his bro had poor sa results? He just told me this morning the weren't just bad - he had zero sperm. If he'd told me that I would have been terrified! We're nervous about telling him now though, my dh doesn't want to make him feel bad. But we're gonna wait and see, the docs have told him his count might improve (something about some injections he's had for the army)

Ooh look at me waffling! Sorry! Have a lovely day xx

I do think losing weigh is a good thing but I've lost 12% and nada. Is good to get support here tho as dieting while ttc is putting a double stress on things

I think im out this cycle. Had no lh surge and cbfm staying on high now for last 5 days. Laaaaaame.

Good morning ladies! How are you all today?

I'm with cranberry, I've lost over 10% of my weight and no bfp. Of course it's different for everyone and losing weight is a good thing no matter what!

cranberry sorry you're having an off cycle. Though I have to say that getting no peak on your monitor doesn't mean you haven't/don't ovulate, a long term ttc buddy of mine got pregnant on a cycle with only several days of 'high' and no peak at all. Though for me at least, sometimes it's easier not to hope at all...

Speaking of which, I've caught myself fantasizing about it all again - when my due date would be (very close to my bday), how I'd tell my parents etc etc - why on earth do I put myself through that?!? I thought I'd gotten over this part of the ttc thing, because thinking about those things only makes it more difficult when af arrives.

I have a hairdresser's appointment later today, probably not going to do anything drastic, but it's always great to get my hair done. Love the bit when they wash my hair!

 

[Lil_Pixie]

I hate having my hair washed! It makes me feel so uncomfortable - but my sis always says that's her fave bit too

 

[lovie]

hi ladies,

thank you for the tips lil pixie.. im going to try and work out my %weight loss.. hmm 8KG from 103 KG.. that isnt 10% yet 5KG more to go then i will have lost 10 % thats sad news about your OH's bro hopefully its to do with the injections you mentioned, I bet you would have been worried if your OH had told you that before! how sweet is he to not mention it. i hope it goes ok telling your OH's bro when the time comes, im not sure if men react in the same way we do when they are struggling ttc and their friends become pregnant, i have never really thaught about it (selfish me!)

sorry you dodnt get a peak on your moniter cranberry hopefully it doesnt mean you are compleatly out, its hopefull what strawberry said about her friend

strawberry id day dream away, i think it can help in a way to have something positive to think about enjoy the hairdressers! I hate it when they wash my hair! infact i dont like any of it really i dont like to be mucked around with.. silly me!

afm yesterday was crazily busy, i left the house at 7.45 and didnt get home till allmost 10 and i was on the go all day, class then 2 lessons then private tutoring then my new book club (which is great its my 1st time at a book club) we are reading "freedom" at the moment and id recomend it to everyone. all i ate all day was 1 cookie, silly i know, but i had no time to stop and eat lunch i literally had to rush rush rush all the time, dinner was mexican without the wraps, so loads of vegies and spicy minced beef and guacomala and grated chease, so it was not super healthy but only came to about 14 points, and as i had most of my points left it was ok

hugs to you all FX for some more bellies to bumps BFP's soon! xxxx

 

[EmmyReece]

ok ive put the pic up.

thanks so mcuh for being so happy for me everyone, i know its not easy at all, and i really appreciate all of you being so kind.

ohhhhh hun you've waited such a long time for this, you totally deserve it ... hopefully there'll be more of us joining you and Tarkwa in first tri soon

 

[cranberry987]

Lovie, how about taking some cereal bars or something with you? I always have some in my handbag and some of them can take quite a lot of battering and still be edible. you did well on the points but careful you dont eat too little.

 

[twinkle1975]

Cranberry sorry you're out this cycle

Strawberry - hope the trip to to the hairdresser's is relaxing, Matthew's sister cuts my hair so I have to wash it myself & I really miss having it done.

Lovie - Cranberry's right you need to make sure you're spreading your points out & eating something during the day or your body will hang on to the fat!

Hey & hugs to Emmy, Traskey, Tarkwa, Pixie happydance 4magpies & anyone else I've missed.
Afm, I went back to WW last night for the first time in 3 weeks - my scales said I'd sts so I was expecting a tutting at, but their scales said I'd lost 2.5lbs! Yay! I'm also keeping everything crossed that AF will arrive today - weird I know!!! However yesterday was day 28 so if she arrives today then this will be my second 28 day cycle & I might risk some opks next month!

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Twinkle, those boots in your avatar, are they yours? They're adorable! Well done on your loss - that's great!

 

[Tarkwa]

Log cabin pics in my journal ladies.
Pix, they are Twinkle's wedding shoes!!! Doc M's - how cool are they! They have butterflies on them .

[Lil_Pixie]

Oh my god hats awesome! My dh would have loved that!

 

[twinkle1975]

Thanks ladies - I was so happy with them! When I got married for the first time I was 23 & let my Mum talk me out of having DMs, this time round I stuck with what I wanted - they were comfy & fab - I spent most of the day flashing my ankles at people!

 

[twinkle1975]

I've just changed my weightloss ticker as it was really depressing me - I've put how much I've got to have lost by the time I go back to the FS in August (even though I don't think I'll be getting the funding I still want to show him I can do it) and for the first time I have less to lose than I've already lost!! Much less depressing!

You're right, we all deserve a bfp. Let's hope this thread is now on a roll and we'll get lots of bfps in here 3 mor pounds for me and i'll have lost 10% of my starting weight. That would be great.

I do think losing weigh is a good thing but I've lost 12% and nada. Is good to get support here tho as dieting while ttc is putting a double stress on things

I think im out this cycle. Had no lh surge and cbfm staying on high now for last 5 days. Laaaaaame.

It's the pits! I'm amazed we're not all I know women can multitask but diet and ttc?

Speaking of which, I've caught myself fantasizing about it all again - when my due date would be (very close to my bday), how I'd tell my parents etc etc - why on earth do I put myself through that?!? I thought I'd gotten over this part of the ttc thing, because thinking about those things only makes it more difficult when af arrives.

I try not to do this but I do have a due date calculator on my iPhone and I have been known to look up when it would be! 21 December if we get lucky this cycle

afm yesterday was crazily busy, i left the house at 7.45 and didnt get home till allmost 10 and i was on the go all day, class then 2 lessons then private tutoring then my new book club (which is great its my 1st time at a book club) we are reading "freedom" at the moment and id recomend it to everyone. all i ate all day was 1 cookie, silly i know, but i had no time to stop and eat lunch i literally had to rush rush rush all the time, dinner was mexican without the wraps, so loads of vegies and spicy minced beef and guacomala and grated chease, so it was not super healthy but only came to about 14 points, and as i had most of my points left it was ok

Sounds like you had a lovely, if busy day Lovie! I've never been in a book club before but that would be fab. I love to read, although my poor books have suffered a little since i've been on here

Afm, I went back to WW last night for the first time in 3 weeks - my scales said I'd sts so I was expecting a tutting at, but their scales said I'd lost 2.5lbs! Yay! I'm also keeping everything crossed that AF will arrive today - weird I know!!! However yesterday was day 28 so if she arrives today then this will be my second 28 day cycle & I might risk some opks next month!

YAY, for a loss, that's always good news. Well done!

I've just changed my weightloss ticker as it was really depressing me - I've put how much I've got to have lost by the time I go back to the FS in August (even though I don't think I'll be getting the funding I still want to show him I can do it) and for the first time I have less to lose than I've already lost!! Much less depressing!

That's a superb idea. My ticker shows what I need to get to for a BMI of 30! If I put the whole lot on I would just get depressed. Seems a bit more manageable that way.

Hope you've all had a good day. WI for me tomorrow, it won't be as much as last week but I am hoping to have lost a few more pounds. I've been super good again this week, no slip ups at all so I am really hoping it's gone down.

 

[cranberry987]

Hi. Im drinking tonight and im going to get a curry and im going to eat jaffa cakes. Pissed off. Stupid face rubby pregnant people.

 

[StrawberryTTC]

Good evening ladies!

lovie you gotta eat! Something like a cereal bar or even just fruit to take with you is a good idea.

twinkle I've got my ticker counting down to just under bmi30, to make it to normal weight would be much too intimidating! And congrats on the loss. =)

Traskey I've got my fingers crossed for your weigh-in!

cranberry sorry you're having a hard time. Want to share what's going on?

Just got back from a nearly 1,5 hour walk with the dh and dogs. Tomorrow is my off day, dh's birthday. I'll try hard not to go too overboard though, but we'll see how I manage!

 

[zowiey]

Cranberry, I think sometimes you do just have to say feck it all, and do what the hell you want! I find it helps keep me sane. Hope you are ok tho?

Well I thought i would pop by and say hello and goodbye! I'm off on holiday tonight, REALLY looking forward to it. I'm so glad we booked it now, I so wasn't prepared for the crazy emotions following our last fs appt. I literally feel sick everytime I think of starting treatment. Its crazy, things are finally moving forward, I've waited for this for over a year, yet at the moment it makes me feel phsically sick. I hope this will change and I can become more positive, but right now the closer we get to starting treatment the closer we get to it failing. Such a bad attitude to have, i know!!

I really must work on my pma!

Anyway, I'm not going to need the treatment, because I'm going to get pregnant! Hubby is slightly concerned about the amount of loving I've planned for the holiday! I'm going for a different approach this month, going for everyday during Ov! I know the troops need time to recover, but damm it I only need one!!

Hope every one is doing ok?

[zowiey]

One more thing......

I want to slap the shit out of people who put on their bfp announcements "finally after 8 long months", "After 5 hard months"

FECK OFF!!!!!

I know I shouldn't look, but I can't help it!

 

[Tarkwa]

It is hard reading things like that when they don't understand what 'infertility' feels like , but I know when I was trying back then it would have seemed like it had been a struggle (only because I didn't know how hard it was going to get). Obviously we've all been through a lot on here (and most are still going through!), and have additional worries with our weight, but we're all here for each other, and I know we wish everyone all the best with their pregnancies, and that we wouldn't wish what has affected us onto anyone else (even our worst enemies!). Making a baby is so much harder than we thought, but that's what BnB is here for - to help everyone get through it.
Think PMA ladies!!! to all
