Hey everyone

@magic - I hope everything turns out okay

So pleased that we have so many BFPs now it gives everyone a bit of hope

I have no idea about weight loss surgery so cannot give any advice on that other than to say do what is right for you. Second opinions from specialists are always good if you are unsure.

I have had so much baby talk today that I thought I was either gonna cry or scream lol

Started out with my mom visiting and she talked forever about 2 cousins of mine who are due to give birth any moment which of course led to her talking about when she was pregnant and then to top it off she made me watch toddlers and tiaras

Then when hubby got home we went to pick up a few grocery items and there was babies EVERYWHERE

Then inlaws came round and kept talking about our niece and other toddlers

I just wanted to yell at everyone to stop talking about babies as I was getting upset. I have been feeling a bit anxious about it all and me and hubs have been arguing a lot so I think we need to relax about it all for a while.

He has promised me that we will have a serious discussion about stopping smoking tomorrow so I am hoping that I will be more positive about that after tomorrow.

Weight loss wise I am doing crap. AF is just on her way out now so I will not know my proper weight for a couple of days as I always gain when she is here and then it goes when she is gone but I know its not going to be good. I need to get motivated. Well to be honest I have the motivation its just the energy

I feel like getting everything in order at the moment. The house, my life, the weight, stopping smoking and getting things done.

I think I may sit down with a pen and paper tomorrow and start making some lists

Special to the two Jo's.

Hi Everyone

I hope it's okay if i join you all! I'm most definitely a curvy girl who would like a curvy bump to go along with the rest of the curves!

I've been reading through some of your messages and you sound like just the type of gals I'd like to wait with. I'm currently 5dpo and plan on beginning my poas addition monday morning! It's only my first month trying with fresh donor sperm so we shall see what happens!

 

[Mrslandry]

Hey bbbunny,
I know what you mean with babies every where I just had two cousins give birth to beautiful girls and next month two more cousins are due with boys. Plus just found another of my cousins is pregnant. It sucks seeing other people in your family have unplanned maricles when you can't seem to have one of your own. Also understand the stopping smoking it is really hard to do and tempers will fly. Hope all goes well for you and if you need some quitting support more then happy to help, I'm trying to quit myself. Have a great day

Ooh exciting! Good luck you are very welcome here!

I'm so fed up today AF arrived (after 42 days!!!) and I can't stop thinking about how I want to start trying this cycle. DW and I both want this so much but I think I need to lose more weight. I really really want to just start trying.... Is 14 and a half stone too heavy to successfully TTC? Would it be a waste to even try?

 

[Heather11]

Hi Girls!

I would love to join your group!! A little about myself my hubby and I have been TTC since the fall. This will be our 8th cycle coming up. I did have a chemical pregnancy in January which was heart breaking as for about 72 hours I thought I was going to be a mommy!!!! I am trying to shed some weight during this whole process which has been a process on its own. I have a decent amount to lose, but I started my first goal at 30 pounds. I am down about 10 lbs at the moment. I am really hoping that this helps move things along. I will be 32 next week which makes me sad as I really thought I would be pregnant before my bday!!!

Looking forward to getting to know everybody and finding some support!!!

Heather

I wouldn't of said that 14.5 stone is too heavy to TTC. I'm 18.5 stone and 5'2" and my doctor hasn't said anything about my weight and TTC. I know some doctors might tell me I should lose quite a lot of weight first but she has never mentioned it.

Welcome heather :wave: sorry to hear about your chemical pregnancy not sure i know what one is if im honest im still so naive about stuff, nice one for losing 10lbs, its better off than on so your doing well, you'll reach your target soon enough
Sending lots of hope you get your BFP soon hun

 

[bbbunny]

Right Mr Stork enough is enough now get that baby in my belly pronto

Af is now gone and to celebrate hubs and I DTD for fun instead of TTC which was a welcome change.

We have had a long discussion about stopping smoking and I am going to get a plan of action down tomorrow

Weight wise I had a chocolate bar today and felt like such a cheater but I am determined to lose at least 2lb this week.

Due to the bad weather we were stuck indoors all day and hubs very kindly helped me get loads of housework done which was great as it means I will be finished extra early tomorrow and can get some exercises done.

@mrslandry I really hope that your quitting smoking goes well. I am sure I will be on here ranting through my nicotine withdrawals before long. I just keep thinking now of all the money we will save that's a big motivator for me.

I really really want to get pregnant before my 32nd birthday which is in July.


How is everyone else doing?

Thanks for the welcome!

A chemical pregnancy is essential an early miscarriage. It usually happens when you test early. I tested early and got a positive test two days in a row and then about 4 days later I got a negative and them my period came. If I hadn't tested early I would have never know that I got pregnant and it didn't stick. When it happens that quick they call it a chemical pregnancy

 

[cravemyheart]

Yesterday I was ovulating. I know because my cervix is now firm and closed and yesterday it was open and I had ov pain in my left side. But I'm in the hospital so df and I quickly dtd in the bathroom. It was exciting. Hopefully that did the trick because it'd be an awesome story. Wish me luck

 

[Vankiwi]

Hi ladies, hope everyone has had a great weekend, and welcome to all the new people! Warning - it's a fast moving thread!

AFM - CD1 today. Poop. However, looking forward to giving it another go this month, will be using Preseed again around O date. Fingers crossed!

I'm also thinking about setting myself an exercise goal for the month of May. Although, knowing me, I'll be all talk and no action

 

[kirkie11]

Hiya! I'm loving this thread! I too am a curvy girl (size 20 UK) and can't wait until I hopefully get my own curvy bump!!

Please can I join this group?

 

[Jo_Bean]

Hi ladies I will reply properly later on today but just wanted to say sorry I've had a really busy weekend so not been on much.
Welcome to all the new ladies, I'll read everything later but didn't want you to feel ignored!

 

[Laura91]

Hi everyone

Panda - Glad everything went well at the doctors x

Ariaforte8, Waiting4bub, Heather11 & Kirkie11-

BabyHopeful - Congratulations

Jo_Bean - for testing on my birthday! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you x

Magic - Glad everything went well at the doctors x

Bbbunny - I know exactly how you feel. No matter where I go, there's babies everywhere! Or no matter what I'm watching, it's full of babies I'm the same with AF, I generally only gain a couple of pounds but I get bloated as hell. Glad to hear you're getting everything organised - maybe it will help take your mind off TTC for a while and help distract you? x

Hopeful - I'm 14 stone 6 pounds (ish). I don't think it's too heavy at all. There are some ladies in here heavier than 14 stone and their doctors have said everything is fine x

Cravemyheart - I would love to know how to check my cervix but it kinda creeps me out a bit Yay for spontaneous BDing

Hope everyone's good?

As for me, the witch arrived on Saturday but at least I can enjoy my 21st without worrying about having a drink and we can start a new, fresh cycle using OPKs properly x

 

[nexis]

So I've started exercising again from today. My god am I unfit, was sweating buckets I've got your shape fitness evolved for the kinect, used to do it every morning but got out of the habit but I'm determined to stick with it this time. It's really good as it'll tell you if you're doing it right and there's loads of workouts on it but I don't have to go to a class full of people smaller than me

Been getting period type cramps so hopefully that's a good sign. Only got today left on the tablets then got to see if I have a withdrawal bleed. Got to go to docs on wed for another blood test too

 

[bubble89]

Hi ladies I haven't managed to post in a while so I never had the chance to say thank you for the advice you all gave a couple of weeks ago.

Congratulations babyhopeful that's amazing.

Fx'd to all.

Have a wee question I was due AF between sat n today I have been getting cramps subtely now n again but nothing happened n that's been since sat. I thought it had come yesterday as a I had a very small amount of pale brown gunk (sorry tmi) now that isn't really there sometimes its white gunk n sometimes there are none. Do you think its worth testing? Is it too early to test? Do you think its just a BFN that is taunting me?

For all you curvy ladies who are considering surgery it is your choice absolutely and if you are going to do it I would make sure you have looked at every avenue before going for it. I have suffered with weight problems all my life and about 3 to 4 year ago I accepted I needed to do something about it. I joined ww and in the beginning I thought it was great but it soon changed n I was up and down in weight I recently found Slimming world and even through most of that I think I have lost the same stone over and over again but the more meetings i attended I realised I just hadn't officially accepted it and found my will power. I have also considered surgery hypnotherapy but that doesn't change who you are. You need to accept who we are and change our lifestyles to suit. It was my leader who helped greatly it doesn't matter if you binge out now and again as long as you have the control to start fresh the next day. With the plan youban eat loads of the rights things n they are so tasty especially when you dot just want a banana. Hope this helps a little ladies. Sorry if its confusing.

Lots of baby dust to you all

Xxx

 

[Jo_Bean]

Its probably going to drive you mad hun lol fingers crossed for you

Quick update from me as im cooking so i dont wanna burn anything ohh:

Went to doc appointment and results are - thyroid tests were FINE
- Glucose levels were FINE


She started asking questions about ttc and said that shes going to get me to do another blood test next week for hormone levels, patocin levels and a few others.... ultra sound appointment should be here in a weeks or 2 so waiting for that now and these new tests, shes going to see if theres anything wrong with me or not, i really like this doctor.........NOT ONCE DID SHE SAY ANYTHING ABOUT MY WEIGHT!!!!!! NOTHING!!!!!

That's so nice! Sounds like a cool doctor

So apparently I did not ovulate based on my tests! I showed the girls in the "ovulation testing" and they said I did not ovulate. now I don't know what to do. I want to go exercise but afraid that there might be a small chance I might be pregnant. I want to lose weight so bad! :"-(

Hun, you can exercise anyway, it's not like you're going to go from nothing to running a marathon - start gentle and work your way up

DH and I went to see the RE Today. We had high hopes that she would tell us everything was okay, and she was going to start us on new fertility drugs. Well, it was the total opposite. She told us she didn't think we would be able to get pregnant unless I lost a great amount of weight and she thought it would be best to go on birth control until I lost weight. I know I need to lose weight, but I know other girls that are bigger than me that have had children and been completely fine. I guess it just hurt knowing that something I've wanted for sooo long was going to be put off even longer. I guess I'm going to call Monday morning and schedule an appointment to see a weight lose surgeon. My DH is not completely sold on me having the surgery. He wants me to try to lose it with diet and exercise. But I have been there and done that and it's not worked. The whole situation just completely and utterly sucks!

BITCH! Can you change doctors? That's not really very helpful is it!

~Hey sweetie xxx I have moments like that too. One time I wrote a list of everything I wanted to change. I then realised that by doing things one thing at a time, I could tick off loads of things. I did have a few big things on there that I still haven't completed, but getting some of them out of the way made the mountain seem smaller. I hope things get better for you soon xxxx

I'm so fed up today AF arrived (after 42 days!!!) and I can't stop thinking about how I want to start trying this cycle. DW and I both want this so much but I think I need to lose more weight.

Not at all! I think you should just go for it anyway!!!

Heather welcome to our band of merry curvys
Well done oj the weight loss so far hun! It's good to have little goals to work towards, you can reward yourself and be realistic about it!

Yesterday I was ovulating. I know because my cervix is now firm and closed and yesterday it was open and I had ov pain in my left side. But I'm in the hospital so df and I quickly dtd in the bathroom. It was exciting. Hopefully that did the trick because it'd be an awesome story. Wish me luck

Get in! I so hope you get to tell your little one they were made in a hospital toilet when they are old enough to ask awesome story!

Hi ladies, hope everyone has had a great weekend, and welcome to all the new people! Warning - it's a fast moving thread!

I'm also thinking about setting myself an exercise goal for the month of May. Although, knowing me, I'll be all talk and no action

that also sounds like me! All talk no action! Sorry got you, but onwards and upwards! Get yourself ready for ov and catch the egg next cycle!

Hiya! I'm loving this thread! I too am a curvy girl (size 20 UK) and can't wait until I hopefully get my own curvy bump!!

Please can I join this group?

Kirkie Of course you can! Welcome welcome welcome!



riiiiiiiiiiight, afm - still patiently waiting to test er well not managing the patient part very well!
Symptom spotting went a bit crazy and now I just have random twinges every so often and a bit of backache. But apart form that, I can't shake the feeling that I'm already out, just don't feel like this is my month. It's cool though, I shall plod on

Xxx

bubble - do you know when you ovulated? The reason I ask is that if you ov'd later then AF could be due later because your LP would stay the same. I've had what you describe before, but not every month. I guess there is a chance it could be IB though...... fx'd it's the latter!

 

[Magan85]

Stopping in to say hello to all you wonderful ladies! Welcome to all the new ladies good to see everyone is doing well Congrats to those who got there BFP's and hugs to those who got AF!
Im very proud of myself this cycle! I havnt once obsessed and I have managed to do what I wanted to by not knowing what CD I am on! I really thought it would be hard to lose track.. Lol but it helps me not knowing. It feels so good to be in control of myself. I have a rough idea of where I am which is all I need to know to keep myself sane lol.
My crazy busy schedule starts today! Going to work today and after work we will be loading a cargo van full of stuff as we get the keys to our house tomorrow! Im soooo excited! I think thats the only reason why ive managed to lose my cycle day because instead ive been counting down to tomorrow!
