Morning ladies hope all are well, i should be actively getting myself back in shape from tonight, have had this horrible FLU/Broncitus/Lung Infection so been in bed 24/7 lately...

Take it easy and be good....

O wanted to find out how many of you ladies inject with B12 and B Complex?????????????

I've gotten nowhere and have now been told landlord is definately selling so we need to move. Have nothing saved for deposit

 

[Smurfette]

Can you not use the deposit you get back from your current house for the next one? I know you have to hand over the new one before you move in but maybe you could get an ultra short term loan from someone which you can pay off as soon as you get your old deposit back (thinking along the lines of family or chatting to your bank about a very short term loan rather than the evil loan sharks out there!!!). If you rent through an agency they might be able to transfer your current deposit if you rent another one of their properties. It might be worth asking them.

Hope you manage to get something sorted out honey

we rent from friends at present, so only have £100 deposit here, and need £1,100 inc rent in advance. If we cut down as much as possible, I might just be able to get it by the end of september, but dont know if the potential new landlords will wait :s

 

[Smurfette]

Oh honey, that's rubbish for you, but like you say I'm sure you'll be able to manage it. Maybe you could knock them down a bit on a deposit? It wouldn't ever have occured to me to try but a friend of mine managed to barter her rent down by about £30 a month and got them to knock a chunk off the deposit. Fingers crossed for you that it goes smoothly for you

My mum has offered to lend us £500 towards it, so that'll make it easier in the long run. Feel bad about borrowing it though. Definately time to start making regular savings me thinks. On the plus side, I'm losing a smidge of weight through stress, and havent even got two minutes to think about baby-making!

an update:

the house was really tiny and had an open plan kitchen/living room (my pet hate). there was no parking provision at all, the nearest spaces in the next road were 30 min max, then it was a 5 min walk to pay and display car park. Looking for others, still really struggling to find somewhere that'd accept a dog and 4 cats

the stress has led to no appetite and insomnia, so I've lost 2 lbs.

Well I guess every cloud has a silver lining! Well done on the weight loss sweetie. Shame about the house not being what you wanted but you'll find something. Rightmove seems to be overrun with houses at the moment.

Good luck

sorry I've been awol, been so busy with looking for house.

right, now waiting on references for a house, hopefully moving beginning of october, so busy busy. unfortunately two of the cats will have to live with my mum, but hoping to persuade landlord a few months down the line to let us have them back. Its alot more money a month (595 versus 425) but still resonable for the area, 3 bed, gardens, garage etc.

Baby making is not technically on hold, but not getting any attention. will probably start provera and start afresh as no sign of ovulation.

hows everyone else?

41.8 Pounds now in 17weeks, getting there slowly but surely.....

 

[sparkle83]

I'm making no progress, just yo-yoing. No O or AF,so clomid not working. I need to take another dose, but dont want the side-effects whilst moving

Hi sparkle, Im sorry to hear about no progress.... If i may can i tell you that you won't lose weight on the CLOMID....
I was on CLOMID for almost 10 months and 10 cycles, 2 Cycles 50mg - 4 Cycles 100mg - 4 Cycles 150mg, and also NO Ovulation and NO Natural AF....

I stoped all Fertility treatments in FEB 09 and started focusing on stricktly LOSING WEIGHT.. My GP gave me DUROMINE and i started that in MAY 09, To date i have lost 41.8 pounds, and since losing weight i have a regular 27/28 day cycle, my hormones are for sure much more balanced and i have no signs of PCOS or Menopause anymore.

I came to the conclusion that the CLOMID was actually fueling the problem instead of treating it.... My GP told me get the weight off and take it from there and i do feel TONS beter....

For each person it is diffrent but your signs sound exactly like mine, even though i see you have less weight to lose than me...

Just thought i could help out with that, and i hope it might help a little...

Good luck with the move, im moving house in 2weeks time too....

Hey girls not been on here for a while.. WELL done Jacky24 for loosing all that weight, well done huni and glad to know your cycles have returned to nice 28 days!!
I bet your get that BFP in no time, focusing on something else instead of ttc is always a good idea to not stress yourself over getting that BFP (well i am finding trying to loose weight have taken over ttc) thats a good thing less stress and upset!!

I been really strict dieting for about 2 weeks now, i have been on diet for about 10 weeks and managed in the whole 10 weeks to loose about 9lbs, but in these last two weeks prob lost 5lbs of the whole 9lbs!!

I cant feel it tho and clothes not gone any bigger but hoping i will notice it soon.
My target is another 7lbs in the next 4 weeks in time for my HSG scan in middle of October i wanna be a nice weight of 11stone!!

This past two weeks, i been so strict limiting myself on my daily in take doing slim fast for lunch and doing the whole fruit smoothie for breakfast and healthy snacks and a healthy tea!!

I really cant wait to get to my target of 11stone.. (i know it might not seem like alot, but i have pcos and since quitting bc last yr really struggled with weight, i put on like over a stone and a half since last July and since putting that extra weight on my cycles went crazy, i swear even with that extra stone and a half i really think thats what is causing my cycles to be quite irregular only when i took a break from bc years ago and i was thinner then my cycles were around cd30ish and since putting on weight they been cd38 to cd60..i know i had to loose the weight and then the gyno cant say im over weight and that affecting my cycles.. i am only small and my weight for my height is putting me on the over weight scale!!

I have read the pcos diet book and started having loads of fruit, wholegrain bread and and wholegrain pasta and rice!!

Keep the good weight loss up girls, I read that losing 10% of your body weight having pcos will really help with cycles.. So even if you can shift 10% you may notice that difference in your cycles..

Good luck girls xxxxxx

Question for you wonderful ladies - are any of you taking metformin for pcos too?

I have just recently started my weight loss journey and 12 lbs in 3 weeks so far. I have pcos too and quite some weight to lose. My fs said she wanted me to go on metformin for the pcos - is this necessary - I have heard it helps you lose weight too. It is kind of funny though because I have regular cycles and do ovulate.

Best wishes.

 

[sparkle83]

Metformn does nothing for me, apart from upset tummies... but it might work for you, it does for alot of women, and especially if you already ovulate

My gyno wants me to run metroformin with clomid but wont get that until after my hsg scan! But its suppose to help with weight etc..
