Hmm, cant be by much, i would think?? I had a heavy AF, more than normal (mine are sometimes scant) . Seemed really healthy. It ended april 29th. Wouldnt that still be 4 weeks? Scratches chin.

other news, i had to tell my coworkers today, because we work with children with behavior issues and need to know to protect me or have better understandi ng that i cant be putting myself in risky situations...
 
I literally just spilled 3 out of the 5 oz I pumped today... I'm officially crying over spilled milk! :cry:

I soaked at least 3 paper towels with breastmilk. I'm devastated.
 
cd 13. nothing going on. Doc called back and wants to go over the ultrasound results. They said it wasn't urgent and my appt isn't until Wednesday so at least I know it isn't dire but when they want to go over results it usually isn't good. But I do wonder how much of my info from the fertility clinic was given to my regular GP. I have no idea if he knows about my hyperplasia (which is gone as of the last biopsy I had in April) as I once asked about weight loss and told him about being on Provera and he said "go off the provera" apparently not knowing that I was on it for the hyperplasia. So he may be seeing something that I am (or have been) treated for. Although I do worry that the Soy may have done something. My research (an actual peer reviewed studied) showed that Soy does not aggravate hyperplasia but with my luck I would be one of the few that it did.

But I can't sit and worry about it and stress myself out. I am only a few days from possible ovulation and I want my body as calm as possible.

diet wise I have been vegan/vegetarian for 10 days. I feel absolutely great. This coming week I will fully get rid of dairy. I admit I have indulged in some cheese. My plan is to go 100% vegan. I've always felt good as a vegan. On Sunday I start adding in exercise. Going to get into running again. I love running and I want to go back into road races.
 
I weigh myself every day. Most days I have been going down but some days I go up a pound. All normal fluctuations based on water, salt etc. Well today I am down 4.9lbs since yesterday, leaping into the 320's and down a total of 9 lbs in 10 days. and this is just with diet changes alone. I am so freaking happy.
 
My hubby is a meat eater. I'm lucky if he eats broccoli. :haha:

But I do want to clarify and put at ease. I am in NO WAY going to lecture about eating meat. While I am vegan for many reasons outside of weight loss and other issues I recognize that this is not the forum to be a preacher on my views. We have many different lifestyles, religions and ways of life on here and the best part about this group is the inclusiveness of you FAB ladies. So if you want to talk about how you dug into a steak the other night go for it. Not meaning you need my permission but I don't want people to think that I am going to suddenly go militant on you and make you feel bad.

I love all you fab ladies.
 
I wasnt worried about a lecture ;)

Maybe you can give us healthy options!

Tonight we had pizza, tomorrow is Chicken Kabobs!
 
Ok good. Just wanted to make sure. Some people are like "oh great..here comes the vegan...now they are going to spout all things vegan." :haha:

I just downloaded a bunch of vegan recipe books. Can't wait to dive in. I am always looking for new and tasty meals.

But I do highly recommend Black bean pasta if you can get it. Really high in protein and a great sub for regular white pasta. And it takes on many flavours so its great for tomato sauce and curries.
 
Hmm. Wed have to go to a farther grocery to get that but maybe I'll try it sometime!!

We recently have been trying to cook more Kosher but IT'S HARD!
 
Glad to hear you do well on a vegan diet! My mom eats a vegan diet as well and seems to do well on it. When you mentioned not being preachy all I could think of was that video that's gone around Facebook from that comedian about "preachy" vegans. Hilarious! Not that I feel that way about vegans or have every known any that behave that way, but I still find it funny!

Bean pasta sounds amazing! I absolutely love beans, but unfortunately they're off the menu for me with breastfeeding. :( I miss them terribly. I ate them once when we had Mexican for dinner and DD had the worst gas! She was miserable. I tested it once more with only a couple of bites just to see if it was coincidence. NOPE. Definitely the beans.
 
I hope everyone had a lovely weekend! My anniversary was yesterday and we made a day of it.

We dropped DD off at the sitter's, went to breakfast, and then stopped at a local nursery to buy some plants for our garden. Mostly vegetables - a variety of tomatoes, bell peppers, hot peppers, zucchini, cucumbers, green beans, watermelon, and cantaloupe. Now we just have to get our raised garden beds ready to plant! DH is going to be off work early today and will start on that when he gets home. Hopefully by the end of the week they'll be in the ground! I also got a small pot of succulents because I love how they look and wanted to see if I can keep them alive before buying more. :haha: I wanted to get some flowering bushes or perennials, too, but I'm just so indecisive! Maybe next year...

After the nursery we went home and I cut DH's hair and pumped and then we went to see the latest Fast & Furious movie in a dine-in theater. The reclined seats were comfy and I love the super unhealthy buttery theater popcorn. It was a great movie, too! Definitely one we'll be buying when it comes out on Blu-Ray. After the movie we picked up DD and went to my in-laws' house for a cookout. We stayed too late and Sylvie was overtired and cried all the way home... :(
 
Kinda TMI, but I found out yesterday I'm apparently STILL not healed enough to DTD. I would have thought after more than 3.5 months of healing I'd be fine, but apparently not. :( Poor DH...
 
i'm sorry onerth

lenora- sounds like a great anniversary except for sylvie being too tired and crying


have a great week ladies.
 
Sucks you can't eat beans right now Lenora but baby first. My aunt couldn't eat greek food with my nephew. It upset his tummy horribly. It's funny how i remember that 20 some odd years later.
So jealous of your garden. I live in an apt with 4 cats. Even if I wanted a deck garden they would likely eat it. I have no plants in my house for that reason. lol But it would be great to be able to grow my own veggies.
So glad you had a wonderful anniversary. I haven't seen any of the movies past the first one lol. But I am interested. Might watch a couple tonight.

Onerth: I am so sorry you are out this cycle. Did you not ovulate at all or did you just not catch?

AFM: cd 17. Had a cold yesterday. today I have the remnants of it but otherwise feel fine. Although I did take the day off work just in case. Great thing about working for my parents is that they would much rather me stay home than spread germs around their house. But I am thinking it more an ovulation cold. I have my fingers crossed. Somehow, while sick, I was even convinced to BD. :haha: my ovaries were in control last night I think. My temps are slowly going down. I am hoping they are gearing up for an O spike but I do wonder if it's because we have the a/c on in the bedroom. Other than that opk's are still negative so far. Not even progression. But then I rarely ever got progression.

Not ttc wise: I am going back to school. I am starting with distance education to get some upgrading done on high school classes I didn't take in high school. Plus it's been 20 years since I have been in high school. I don't remember my Bio 12 class at all. I am going to be a registered dietitian eventually. Once I get my RD I will work and go for my masters. I am looking at getting more into food research. How food heals the body and in particular a vegan, plant based, diet.
 
how awesome to find a way to further your education in something you love aayla

hope the cold remnants dissipate soon
