Jan , sorry AF came - on to a new cycle - positive thoughts!

Jo, still hope!

Becks, that`s great news!! I may have already asked, but are you having an early scan?

 

[Oasis717]

Thanks Lisa, we were so relieved particularly about the progesterone, I'm going docs next week to book an early scan xxx

My progesterone has not been checked this PG even though I am taking 800mg of it per day!!!!

My MS is strange, felt a littel queasy this morning again, but nothing major, so I start owrrying, but then as day foes on I start to feel sicker!!

Find I stop feeling sick when I eat, but as soon as i finish eating i start feeling sick again!!!

Still getting a few rogue readings on my bloods so really need to try and cut down on the portion sizes and be a little bit more careful with my diet!!

I was more worried about the progesterone than the hcg levels! Knowing only too well it can mean a failing pregnancy or one that can't be sustained because of low prog so to get a 72 was fantastic. I've been sucking tic tacs today cause the horrible taste in my mouth makes me feel more sick, mines still coming and going but definitely much worse in the evening, the thought of eating chocolate makes me heave and that's not like me at all lol xxxxxx

I love chocolate, but not allowed to eat now because of diabetes!!

Saying that, last week kids were eating cadbury cream eggs and i didn`t like the smell, and thats not like me!!

Strange question, are baths ok in PG - I think they are but not too hot. i am a shower person, but i don`t know why when PG I fancy a bath, but worried that they may have an adverse effect!

 

[Oasis717]

Yes Lisa fine just with warm not hot water as raising your body temp too high can be dangerous I used to love a relaxing bath at the end of my ds pregnancy I just used to have warm water My dh had just reminded me that a week before we got our bfp he bought a double luck bamboo plant for our bathroom he'd just decorated, I just looked at the instructions and it says it brings happiness, positive energy and good luck! Hope it keeps working if it's true xxxxx

i might try one later.

Well just had my tea and nearly sicked the whole thing back up!!!!

Maybe the plant did bring luck, make sure you look after it now!!!!

 

[Oasis717]

Lol you never know Lisa! I'm def gunna keep watering it! I know how you feel gagged on my dinner last night, some things just turn my stomach at the thought of them! I'm trying to drink my de caff tea cause gone right off coffee but I think I'm going the same way with tea! Good job dh cooks every night I don't think I could stomach it! He cooks, I wash up I hate cooking and he enjoys it so I'm happy for him to, he's a fantastic cook, probably why I'm a stone heavier than I'd like to be! Xxx

We end up eating out about 3 times a week, cos I can't be bothered cooking and DH doesn't get time, probably why I'm overweight with diabetes

 

[Oasis717]

Oooo I love eating out I'm overweight too, I lost a stone for my wedding last march and I've put it all back on since lol xxx

 

[dancareoi]

After my loss in jan last year, I decided to try and lose weight, at one point I lost 18 pounds, but it slowly crept back up.
Managed to keep some off and put on about 7 pounds.
I am actually about the same weight now as I was 3 months ago, I think not being able to eat anything nice is keeping the weight down.
They weighed and measured me at hosp and the machine works out BMI - it said 32, which is bad, but in my defence I was fully clothed with my boots on.
Who am I trying to kid, if I took everything off I still think my BMI would be scary!

 

[josie1234]

My BMI was 30 in the pregnancy I lost at 12 weeks last june and the midwife said I was classed as obese and I had to see a specialist cause of my age and weight, I was horrified, neither me or dh drive so I walk every single day, it's an hour round trip twice a day three times a week to take ds to pre school. We walk into town, to Asda and back with our shopping, I'm a size 12/14 and very fit because of all the walking so to class me as obese is ludicrous, over what I want to.weigh yes but obese? my doctor couldn't believe it and said BMI doesn't take into account muscle mass and is not a reliable way to class health, I don't drink or smoke either and the doc said I was extremely healthy, cholesterol, blood pressure all excellent so it really annoyed me! Xxxxx

 

[josie1234]

BMI is definately not reliable. Being qualified in the fitness industry I have been told this by other people also qualified. Best way to know if you are losing weight is measurements. Measure waist and hips. Even weighing yourself is unreliable as u need to weigh yourself same time every day plus things affect it such as time of month and muscle weighs heavier than fat. Pleased to say temp still above cover line. Still got crampy feeling. Xx

 

[Oasis717]

I agree Jo! Those temps are still looking good xxx

 

[josie1234]

I agree Jo! Those temps are still looking good xxx

[Oasis717]
