[CLOSED GROUP] TTC to 1st diaper - Welcome Freya! Congrats to fezzle!

[Mrs. JJ]

Acupuncture is great!! And getting healthier is always awesome! Has DH been taking any supplements to help with his low motility? I've read good things and I think I've seen some success stories around BnB.

 

[lamago]

He has, but I'm not sure how religios he is about it. I really have not felt much with acupuncture but I'm committed for at least three months

 

[ClandestineTX]

The data says if you are overweight or obese, a 10% reduction in body weight is supposed to help. I would keep trying, even given your DH's SA situation, because low count/ motility still equals count + motility. You may have, in theory, less of a chance than someone with normal count and motility - but that's not the same thing as "no count" - was a girl on here about a year ago I was friends with and her husband was Dx'd with NO SPERM, total azoospermia. You may not have the best odds, but it would still be worth trying - if I were you, at least. Most people I've seen get BFPs over the past 14 months never really did anything different their BFP cycles, it just didn't work until it did. So, I'm going to keep 'trying' (as casually as one can without totally missing the boat) and continue working on getting my hormone situation sorted and my weight down. With as little emotional investment as possible, because I long ago gave up BFP thoughts and agree with Pirate about not even being able to imagine it actually happening, for real.

PS. My chart totally looks like I have an internal etch-a-sketch running the show! But I think I am having a slight display of "fertile signs" - not getting remotely excited, because they could vanish tomorrow and reappear in a few weeks, indicating I'm on another crazy cycle roller coaster, but I am just going to sit here with my FX for a normal cycle this time, with the HC on board.

@Cland - Your chart looks like a little like a stick figure drawing of a bat. I it. Charts always look ridiculous at the beginning of the month, though.

I hope everyone had a good Christmas. @lamago - if you or anyone else is interested in supporting each other with weight loss, I'm up for that. I got cleared to start exercising today.

 

[LillyTame]

I'm losing_n_kona on myfitnesspal...I just started this week and haven't been logging everything...and haven't started exercising yet...but haven't eaten out once! Kinda just taking it slow...letting myself adjust and hoping I'll get more energy and motivation the longer I stick to it. Doesn't help that OH has been sick....so if he isn't up for going to the gym or a walk then I usually wont either

 

[txbiscuit]

I added you Lilly! I am the same way about not exercising alone. Hopefully we can help motivate each other!

 

[Mrs. JJ]

I added you too Lilly! I still log everything I eat so I don't go cray on my calories and can watch my protein and calcium to make sure I get enough. I haven't changed my weight though from my lowest weight during first tri, I think I'll wait until after baby to change it.

 

[MIZZYD]

I used to have fitnesspal, lol, it drove me crazy, they never had the foods I ate, lol

 

[Mrs. JJ]

Really Mizzy?! They have almost everything under the sun, I'm surprised!

 

[LillyTame]

Yay I have MFP friends now! lol

Mizzy they probably have a lot more stuff now plus they have the scanner option so you can scan the barcode of something and find it that way

I haven't been super picky about matching up my foods exactly...just picking what is close for a round estimate. I figure I have a little ways to go before every detailed calorie matters. Like once I'm eating well AND exercising but not dropping any weight...that's when I get more hardcore with watching exactly what I'm taking in.

 

[Mrs. JJ]

I haven't been super picky about matching up my foods exactly...just picking what is close for a round estimate.

I do this too. Especially if it's something homemade or something from a random restaurant that's not listed. I just get as close as I think I can with the options available.

 

[MIZZYD]

I guess I was being too OCD, I wanted everything to be precise, but of course that is impossible.

 

[LillyTame]

Not impossible! I'm sure there is a way for you to enter your own foods, you just gotta find the time to do that I haven't tried it yet with MFP but when I used my sparkspeople app I did...I even calculated the calories for my 6in turkey breast and ham on half a slice of wheat with american cheese sandwhich from subway! lol And I even weighed my bananas, grapes and apples! So i definitely know what you mean, Mizzy, but I can't be that anal right off the bat because I'll get all frustrated lol I need to build up to it.

 

[MIZZYD]

Are you thinking about cutting certain foods?

 

[txbiscuit]

What's your MFP username JJ?

I have found lots of common recipes have been entered by users (like most of the Betty Crocker cookbook recipes my parents make, and my exact Subway sandwich). I am pretty OCD too, so sometimes I'll add recipes ingredient by ingredient.

 

[Mrs. JJ]

I do the same thing Tx, I added my own recipe for my creamy chicken stew by ingredients (did the same with my paleo muffins) and all the ingredients are there cause it's all Trader Joe's stuff. I was surprised how little calories is was and fed us for 3 nights! I love MFP!

Since we're already friends on MFP you already know but for anyone else, my username is Kittyfeliz.

 

[lamago]

That sounds great! My name is la_magp it was supposed to be lamago but I are a mistake,

 

[lamago]

What's urs txbiscuit?

 

[txbiscuit]

I'm sortasandy.
