Losing Weight While TTC

[todmommy4568]

I was wondering where you were! I knew you were walking so I figured you were ok lol..

that's awesome, startled DH when I started laughing haha. I have a really good feeling about it so I am really hoping it works out! All prayers are appreciated!

8 pounds is excellent!!!! The personal trainer sounds very interesting, I would be excited to see how it all is!

Tod- your son that is just to cute!

I'm pretty sure we are going to ttc next month. I am going to order some preseed soon and take baby asprin. Those were two things I did with ds so hoping they help me. I am not sure I will ttc for awhile if we have another chemical.

 

[Ali33]

I don't blame you Krissie. That is hard. Especially to experience to CPs so close together.

My happiness about AF is over. It is so damn heavy! To be expected but I am sick of it lol. I want to just lay on the couch and eat chocolate. lol

 

[krissie328]

Ali- I always hate af when she shows so late.

 

[Ali33]

Not to be too gross but I stand up and feel like my water broke. Part of me is glad it is a regular period but the other part of me wants to go out and buy puppy pads to put into my undies lmao!

 

[krissie328]

Lol, yea I know the feeling. I use to have really heavy periods. Then I had ds and they have just got lighter and lighter. My last one was little more than 3 days of spotting.

 

[Ali33]

I wish mine were lighter. I am hoping the Vitex helps. Obviously this one is heavy because I haven't had it since April!

So what do y'all think about the VIP version of FF? Is it worth it?

 

[krissie328]

If you can get it on special I think 25 for a year it's worth it. I had it until a month ago. I dropped because I wasn't feeling like ttc any time soon.

 

[Ali33]

Right now it is offering me a special but it is $45 a year. I am debating on if I want to or not..

I need to make breakfast. I am feeling so lazy. I just am not in the mood to do anything lol. Well anything productive anyway.

 

[krissie328]

Hmm... I always have it at 45. I can't remember where I saw the 25 special but I've seen it quite a few times.

I had a ham sandwich because I am just not having a good time with being good.

I did get all my strawberries planted in my raised garden beds. I am just happy they are finally back in the ground.

 

[Ali33]

That's awesome! We have strawberries, dewberries, and blackberries that were growing here before we bought the house. Those and onions and various flowers including my favorite, lilies! I want to start my own garden soon. I have a serious black thumb though lol.. Any advice?

 

[krissie328]

I've found the two major things is a good fertilizer and plenty of water.

I am wanting to plant blackberries but I need to to get this current garden spot finished. So maybe I can do it next year.

I've never heard of dewberries.

 

[Ali33]

Dewberries are wild berries typically grown in the south. Do you plant in the ground? I want to do raised beds (bad knees) and a greenhouse.

 

[todmommy4568]

Sorry about the heavy flow Ali, what a pain in the *ss. I have zero advice, I'm just trying like hell to save the aloe Vera plant I recently thought I killed. When someone has killed something that only needs to watered once every week or two you don't want their advice

Krissie that makes sense for sure. I keep reading that clomid dries you up, is that the reason for the pre seed? Or is there any truth to it?

I had insomnia really bad last night so now I am tired as crud today and I am in a seriously foul mood. I think everyone is basically steering clear of me at this point, pretty much anyone that has talked to me has gotten an earful. Come on happy and pregnant! Because I don't want to do this again!

 

[Ali33]

Holy hormones Batman! I have been in those moods but I have no excuse lol.. I tell them to steer clear and apologize ahead of time for it lol.. Maybe I will catch your mood because we are cycling lol.. Speaking of, my daughter also got her period when I did. She has long cycles too. I am going to be making us both appointments. I know that PCOS can be hereditary and if I have it I might have passed it down. She has like 40-45 day cycles though which apparently can be common for 13 year olds. She definitely ovulates. I had her pee on an OPK for fun when she was crampy and it was positive. It falls in life with her days and a 14 day approx. lp so I am hoping she is good. Damn Eve.. You got us into this mess!!! LoL

 

[krissie328]

I don't personally dry out but I want to give us the best shot. I'm really over ttc. We've actually talked in length about not trying anymore and just having ds. So I think if it doesn't happen soon or I miscarry again we will be on an indefinite break. Which will mean just dtd as we want and not tracking or anything. But I doubt it would happen seeing as it never has before.

 

[krissie328]

Oh, and I have planted in the ground but we are installing raised garden beds this year. I like the look and they are easier to maintain.

 

[Ali33]

ok so I am sitting here eating some Cheese Puffs and drinking a Dr Pepper. AF problems lol!

TTC is stressful. Sometimes taking a break and NTNP is what you need to do. It is even more stressful with losses. Truth me told, I am terrified to get pregnant again. Losing Aidan @ 24 weeks tore me to the core and I am forever changed because of it.

 

[krissie328]

I will say at least being early losses seems to have made it easier. But at the same time I have this nagging feeling something bigger is going on and needs resolved.

 

[Ali33]

Maybe schedule an appt with your Dr to get checked out? For nothing else just peace of mind..
