Cyber Cycle Sisters! ---- 2 BFPs again this month, we are on a roll sisters!!

[groovygrl]

good morning ladies!

Lolly - thanks for the primavera recipe! I'll make it tonight and give DH 2 nights off.

Hb - sorry about your car but glad you've got it back nice and clean!

mrsG -I agree with Hb, you're prob just a bit hormonal and even though your preggers, there is probably still a little sting to be felt for your past loss. hope you're feeling better and I look forward to scan pic's too.

The-key - ya, I think I'm super lucky that DH cooks. It's a really good arrangement really. He cooks and I do the cleaning up.

Queenie - I am right there with you sister. You see, I'm of the opinion that God has richly blessed the grape and the coffee bean so....staying off the wine and the coffee is TORTURE. Actually, I'm making myself a coffee treat right now! I've gone down to one coffee a week and no more than 3 glasses of wine a week (except on special occasions) Glad you're facing the demons of MC head on. It's tough but it's better to be informed and in control.

Okay, my opinion is that we move over to the buddies section and re-start this thread. Obviously, happy to go with majority opinion.

Hi initally said I should be 6w + 1 using the wheel thing and then they've put me back to 5w + 1 with a 2mm embryo on an abominal scan. I thought they would do a transvaginal and be able to let me know heart rate because heart rate is correlated with prognosis in first trimester but apparently they dont do that.

Did any of you other girls have abdominal scans or get heart rates. I thought best practice was TV.

Anyway saw the flicker of heart so its there at the moment. I am such a paranoia at the moment and really finding it hard to think positive. I know im in such a privilaged position and should just try and relax but dont think Im going to be able to relax until I give birth.

Forgot to say yesterday that so pleased Lolly and Thekeys scans went well. Hope the 2ww goes quick for everyone x

 

[hb1]

I thought they would only do a tv if they couldn't see anything.....

 

[Lolly W]

Morning all,

Glad to hear scan went well MrsG although strange they didn't do a tv. All of my early scans (I've probably had 7 or 8 over the last 18 months) have been tv and I always thought abdo scans were good for 10-12 weeks +. I've never been told the actual heartrate but have seen it flickering like you did.

Can thoroughly recommend the Primavera Groovy - it was bloody lovely! It was tedious to shell the broad beans but I got OH doing that job.

Chilli, rice and guacamole tonight - Really good way of getting some superfoods in me for bean. Kidney beans, chickpeas and avocado all in one delicious meal.

The reason I'm always making such nice food is I have a lot of time on my hands. I was made redundant about 18 months ago and have been a lady of leisure / professional wife (!) ever since. It suits OH to have me home looking after things and I was always going to give up work when we had a little one anyway.

Fingers crossed for lots of bfps this month!

I think they do a TV if they can't see anything too, as thats why i ended up having them....but i'm not sure on that. Glad the scan went well though. xxx

Hard day over and done with, got observed today, plus gcse coursework deadline, want to just relax now, but have coursework to mark. Opk lighter again today, so def oved Wed i think.

Lolly wish i could make some yummy meals for DH, but he is sooo fussy, we end up having different meals most days! Sounds like a nice yummy meal tonight! enjoy!

 

[hb1]

Hey Lou - check out bbc good food - it's cool as you can filter out types of food, time to make etc etc - I find it good being veggie and picky

[cutelou101]

Thanks hb, I'll have a look at that over weekend and see if I can come up with something new for him xx

Hello ladies

My ticker says 1 dpo but I think its 2.

Is anyone in the 2WW yet? Who is leading us in the 2WW?

I feel really relaxed about TTC this cycle, I've sort of calmed down and have a target in my head of being pregnant by xmas( though by pregnant I mean 12 weeks plus so really thats september)

Cutelou, have you heard of this new diet - the dukan diet, loads of my friends are doing it. I might try it next cycle to lose another 7 pounds. I've lost about 4 pounds so far this cycle, wanted 7 off and 12 days to go so hopefully will do it!!

Got the day off today - just had a leg and bikini wax - poor OH , I should have had it done before the BD marathon, not after. Think I might treat him to a non TTC BD tonight. It was agony the wax, really want to get it all lasered off, sure its hurting more as I get older.

Off to Richmond shopping now.

[mrsG5]

Hi Queenie, Better late than never with the waxing! I was meant to work from home today but had done absolutely nothing other than nap. Im knackered. Richmond sounds lovely. You mustnt be too far from me. Hope you dont get soaked though its meant to rain and thin it might start here any second.

My good food magazine arrived today so might have to make something nice over the week as yet again I had tomato soup and toast for lunch.

anyway bring the wait. Im very excited for al of you and hope you all join me, Lolly and Key in first trimester very very soon.

 

[Lolly W]

Hi all,

I'm loving the recipe exchange we've got going on! Mrs G - Make sure you let us know if there's anything in Good Food worth making. I love those mags - I used to have a subscription to Olive which was great.

Hope your shopping was productive Queenie - I'm overdue a shopping trip. I think I deserve something nice! I really fancy a maxi dress as I think it will be forgiving if (and when) I get my bump. I just haven't seen one I really like which is bugging me. I'm watching a few on eBay so fingers crossed I'll pick up a bargain without having to leave the house.

MrsG, I know what you mean, I'm exhausted! I've been for two naps today and don't feel any fresher for having either of them. It's like I'm running on no sleep whatsoever even though I've had a full 9 hours at night. My books say its normal though so that's reassuring.

We're going to my Dad's for dinner this evening and I think I'm going to need to wake up sharpish to be anything like decent company tonight! Hopefully a shower will sort me out. My Dad has two young children (7 and 9) so it will be an early affair. Thank God as I'll be asleep by 9!

If you're wondering why the weather is suddenly crap - My OH bought a barbecue! It's an all singing all dancing gas number which looks great (on the picture on the box) but it hasn't stopped raining since it arrived in my kitchen in its GIANT box!

10 weeks tomorrow - woopee! The spotting is back though so I'm not sure I'm out of the woods yet. I'm not due another EPAU scan as my 12 week should be soon but I might cave in and ring them if this spotting hasn't disappeared by Monday. What do you think?

 

[cutelou101]

Hi All,

Quennie, i haven't heard of it, i shall look it up. Thats great well done on the weight loss!! think i may have put back on 2lbs i lost last week, not sure why as i've been to the gym more and eaten the same. Your well on target for your 7lb!! Hope you enjoyed your shopping trip.

Lolly hope you enjoy your dinner tonight. not sure whats going on with the weather, it was so nice before, but back to rain just in time for the bank holiday. I'd give them a call Lolly, thats what thier there for xxx

Mrsg hope you find something nice in your good food mag for the weekend.

Anouther week done with and all coursework sent off so all good. Busy weekend ahead, paul merton and friends tonight, friends wedding tomorrow, then over to see my mum in surrey on sunday. keep me busy and not thinking about 2ww!! think i am 2dpo now, seems like a long wait at the moment.

 

[QueenieMurphy]

Lolly - we bought a barbecue last year and from that day forward there wasn't another sunny day!! Hoping to get some use out of it this summer.

Got a few drops of rain on way to Richmond(Mrs G I live in Barnes). Didn't buy much, just two tops in topshop, what I'm really looking forward to buying when I've lost a few more pounds is a bikini for my holiday in august.

Lolly - you should ring doc if you're worried about the spotting, you don't want to be worrying when a few words from them can put your mind at rest. I'm sure its fine, my best friend had spotting throughout both her two pregnancies.

Cutelou - with all the gyming your doing you're prob getting more muscle and that weighs more, your clothes are prob getting looser though!! Eventually the more muscle will be speeding up your metabolism and the weight will suddenly fall off, just don't give up!!! Have a lovely weekend - I love weddings!!

I was very put out when my mother in law got me a subscription to good housekeeping for xmas!! But I love it now - especially for the recipes, they always have fab recipes, when it comes this month I'll let you know if anything good, I love cooking, I've even applied to go on come dine with me but they just sent a standard email back saying long waiting list.

 

[hb1]

oooo - don't know Lolly - it might be worth it just to reassure tho hx

 

[mrsG5]

Hi Lolly, give them a call. Even if it gives you peace of mind for a few days its worth it.

Girls I'll keep my eyes peeled for good recipes we might like. I went to Wagamamas tonight but only managed to work my way through some noodles. Couldnt face any tofu which is very strange for me.

Queenie I live in New Malden. Was in Barnes a few weekends ago as my husband is working on a project there. Think it was an old bank on the high street which is getting converted. Its opposite the pond and the farmers markets which is open on saturdays.

Well done with the weight loss by the way girls x

 

[hb1]

Maybe Bump isn't a tofu fan

 

[Vickieh1981]

Is anyone fed up with the 2ww yet? I am only 5dpo and am getting poas withdrawal symptoms and fed up of waiting.

 

[cutelou101]

hi ladies,

yes vicki, i'm fed up already, already syp spotting only 4dpo, feel like i'm going mad, keep crying for no reason too!!

How is everyone else? xxx

 

[hb1]

I am 7dpo today - been v busy at work and dealing with car traumas that it's gone pretty fast, am off this week getting windows and french doors put in so we'll be busy with that too !!

[the_key2005]

Hi Girls, so sorry I been MIA for a few days. Been sick as a dog, I got it bad girls its terrible. I have nausea all day long. DH got me motion bands to wear they seem to help a little but gosh this is no fun at all. Glad to hear you are all well. Promise to catch up with you all later

 

[Lolly W]

Hi all,

I feel like I haven't been on here in ages!

Nothing really exciting to report. I've been updating my journal with all the everyday things but most of it is pretty boring.

Hope the wait to test doesn't get too tedious, who's furthest along in the 2ww?

Here's hoping for mores this month!! Who'll be next? ..........
