That OTHER 2 Week Wait!

[Beanwood]

Hey everybody - hello.

Love hope you are ok. XX

 

[GradMommy]

Hello everyone! I hope you don't mind if I join into this thread! DH and I are in our third month of TTC! Right now I'm CD#5 and have a wonderful feeling about this month! So I'm doing prenatals, VitB Complex, and robitussin to help thin out the CM.

Good luck and baby dust to everyone!!

Thank you for the welcome! Lisa - do you have a "gut feeling" down to your toes that this month could be *it*?? I can't explain it, I'm just laughing, happy optomistic and bouncing around!

Welcome Grad!

Good luck Lisa! - Can you please tell me how you got your chart and journal on the same line without needing the link written?

AFM: CD7, really big dip this morning, pretty sure it can't be ovulation this early, but really weird. I might do an opk this afternoon just in case and see if we need to dtd or not.
Still staying positive that this could be my 3rd time lucky month. I haven't lost all the weight I wanted to, I'm a little disappointed in myself, but I remind myself I only really have one vice - Chocolate! I have never drank, smoked, took drugs or eaten tonnes of junk, but PCOS means I cling onto any weight. I have cut down a bit on Chocolate but it's my one pleasure food, so it's really hard. I'm currently 5' 4" and 13stone...so I know I'm overweight (some would say obese) but I do exercise and walk my dog daily, I have an 'easy shaper' and I am trying to get in more fruit and veg.
Anyone else have trouble with their weight? Does anyone know if sugar, like from chocolate, affects your fertility chances? If I had evidence of it stopping me be pregnant then maybe it would help me cut down/stop....hope you girls can help!!!!

Grey--I have had weight issues since I graduated from college. I have never read or heard that chocolate causes any issues with fertility. The one thing you need to be careful of is that chocolate does contain caffeine, so that can have an impact on implantation if you overindulge on chocolate that contains higher amounts. I really would not be too concerned, because women still drink coffee and the like while pregnant/ttc, they just have to cut back some. When I get near O, I usually stop any caffeine intake and then about 10dpo, I work in a little chocolate here and there. I have completely stayed off coffee and soda with caffeine though since my BFP. But I will sneak in some chocolate every couple days or so, and my md said that is perfectly fine.

Hope that helps!

You will see: Your Charting Home Page Web Address: it should say https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/(It should end with a 6 digit number/letter that is unique to you). Copy this address and go to User CP to edit your signature. on the advance signature window click on the icon that says Insert Link, a window will open where you paste the FF address...click okay (this will copy the address twice but the second address will be hi-lighted and this is where you type, "My Chart" or whatever you want to call it....

for your journal, go to your journal and copy the web address on the address bar...and follow the same process above, (click Insert Link, etc)

Thank you! Yes it does help, I'll try and cut back around O time and beyond. More manageable than stopping altogether - gotta have something to enjoy!

grad....welcome

There are 14lbs in a stone in England. So in American I'm about 182lbs. I'm considered obese, but I'm not as physically 'big' as other people my weight. With PCOS we often have more muscle (hidden under fat sadly) than other women so can be heavier than we look.
Thanks for your help re chocolate

 

[loveanurse1]

grey..thanks for the info..some might also consider me obese although i don't look it..but what are numbers anyway????

 

[Amberyll23]

Grey, you weigh less than me and I'm about an inch shorter than you, so you are just fine!

 

[GreyGirl]

Thanks guys, I feel a little more hopeful

 

[LiSa2010]

I'm a shorty LOL and almost 170lbs and it's so hard to shed anything these days.. I also don't look like I weigh that much but I know I do (weighed myself yesterday) and Im only shy by 2lbs of being 170... I am considered obese by my doc and wants me to watch my diet... the thing is that I don't have a sweet tooth and I don't eat junk foods. I think the thing that is doing me in is my age and the fact that I don't exercise. I know that once I become preggo, I will definitely have to watch my diet, but I know I'll be fine once that happens cuz it'll give me something to actually motivate me to watch what I eat.

not sure about chocolate and fertility issues...I think you're fine too grey...
