The 'OFFICIAL' Ex Mirena Thread

[BrandysBabies]

Hey girlies! Just got back from grocery store. I just spent $500 on all of the things I need to start my LowCarb diet to try to get some of this weight off while TTC. I am super excited!! I am hoping that now that I have my Mirena out that I will be able to lose easier! Plus eating LC is really the only way for me to eat healthy as I have diabetes. I am hoping that if I can get some of this weight off that I can stop taking my insulin injections! That would be awesome!!!! Wish me luck!! I put up a ticker so you all can see how I am doing. I weighed 290lbs this morning!!!!!!!!!!!! EEEEKKKK!!!

Thanks! Lol, I have been doing the exact same thing! I have been crocheting like a mad woman the past week! I am opening an online store next month selling crocheted baby and toddler items! I am super excited about it! What kind of things are you making?

Hey brandysbabies good luck with the diet! I never found it difficult to lose weight on Mirena but I know some people do. Low Carb is great!!!!

Thanks! I love Low Carb! I lost 120lbs in 8mths back in 2004! Then I got pregnant, had my DS, and then had the Mirena put in. Over the next year I gained all of the weight back, while low carbing?!? It has been 5yrs of LCing off and on with no results. I am talking hard core low carbing and no more than a 10lb loss. The only thing that was different was the Mirena. So I am hoping that now that it is gone, that I can get back to losing.

 

[Calasen]

well I hate making clothes and stuff so focus on trinkets and bags and that

Have made so far this week ...
4 hats
2 sets of fingerless gloves
A mug warmer
A bag for a 6 yr old
3 rose corsages on bracelets
Trinket/candy box

Have only taught myself this week how to make the roses and do scalloped edges and have also learned recently to knit so mostly thats been to make sample squares trying to learn the different techniques but its slow going

I am hoping to get to a place where i can sell stuff but atm I am just doing it as a way to pass time as I can't work due to illness.

 

[BrandysBabies]

I absolutley love crocheting. My grandmother taught me when I was about 10yrs old. I have just recently taught myself how to read patterns and learned all the different techniques through YouTube! Lol! I would love to learn how to knit!

I hope everyone is doing well! I finally got a bittersweet visit from AF this morning. Hopefully this will help to take the guess work out for now... I've also decided to join myfitnesspal as well!

 

[lucyoz34]

OK so my temp went up this morning, but no higher than it has been at other times this cycle, its been all over the place! so Im still not convinced Iv O'd! idk.

Megarice03 Im sorry bout af, she's vile, but on a positive youll have some idea this month when your due to O, and have something to work to. Hope your ok hun.x

 

[curly123]

Oh megarice finally! Good luck this cycle - here's to this month!!

Lucy - hehe your message was funny - I felt the same way! I'm just using opk's now - had 2 days of positives so will prob ov today or tomorrow! Had ov pains ALL day
all round!

 

[lucyoz34]

Curly123, I think opk might be the way to go if there's no bnp after all this BDing, OH os knackered!

 

[Ttcbabynmber2]

Ladies I have an ovulation question. My ticker says I ovulated yesterday CD15 of a 28 day cycle. This is my first cycle since mirena removal but today vie had more EWCM than I have had in the past 3 days does this mean I still haven't ovulated or that maybe I'm ovulating today? Please help. Thanks

 

[Ttcbabynmber2]

@MEGARICE definitely bittersweet but I'm glad that at least you can figure out your cycle now.
I think Im out for this month no BD but maybe my OH will cooperate better next month FX.

 

[MEGARICE03]

Man! She's back with a purpose. After 7 years of no AF this is just ridiculous.. It's like it saved it all up for today. lol I sure didn't miss all of this. I am one step closer to O though and that's all that matters..

Lol, I got hit with my first one yesterday as well. Last might I told DH that I have used more tampons in one day thenI did in 5 YEARS!!!!! This is insane!!!!! My 4yr old send DH running into the bedroom this morning because he thought I was hurt! I had bled all over the bed!

 

[lucyoz34]

Well I thought Id O'd yesterday, but my temp had shot up again this morning, so I had to wake poor OH up for some BDing just in case! I wish I knew what was goin on. No more ewcm though so something has definitely changed.
PMA for everyone.xx
