Yes. But I agree with maybe that temping is quite inaccurate...

BlindKitty · 06/09/2013 06:24

keep should my temp rise back up then?

keepitgoing · 05/09/2013 20:43

That's hink, not gunk...

keepitgoing · 05/09/2013 20:42

Sunday could be a bit early then kitty, I think they assume you ov the day of insemination, which would make Sunday 11dpo. And would make today a perfect day for the famous 'implantation dip' of temperatures. Am just saying a bfn on Sunday may not be a bfn.

Grin gunk amazing!!

NoMaybeAboutIt · 05/09/2013 20:24

O M f-ing G Hink!! I'm so bloody excited!!!!!

hinkyhonk · 05/09/2013 20:11

Oi brookers have I got some news for you.

We've just moved house and its got some big sheds with it. My dad is a churchy type and helps run the fete every year. He's asked us to store some crap for it and tonight he dropped off a well known game.

Can you guess what it is?

NoMaybeAboutIt · 05/09/2013 19:13

That's exactly it Kitty Grin. I don't think temps are always that reliable. Especially if you're taking them orally. There have been ladies on the IVF thread who's temps have dropped and they've been diffed.

BlindKitty · 05/09/2013 18:50

Well i guess I'm 9 days post trigger as you take it at night. Oh and what's a fanny candle lol? Is it some sort of prog pessary???

BlindKitty · 05/09/2013 18:33

geek it's around 3500 cal but differs from person to person depending on build, exercise, sex etc

keep I'm 10 days post trigger, 9dpo today (according to ff) but 8 days post insemination. Normally have a 14 day lp but has been as long as 16 days. My temp dropped below my cover line today so I'm guessing game over though. Did go for a wee on the night but not sure how close it was to waking. What do you think?

Oh well done scarlett that's brilliant! Sounds like your future boss interviewer must have really liked you to give you tips for the next one. Brooking for Wednesday! Your detox/diet sounds absolutely terrifying. I'm struggling with 5:2, and that's even with knowing I can eat normally the next day. Fabulous results though! My old WW leader used to say you had to burn 5000 calories to lose a lb in weight - no idea how accurate that is, but it does tie in with the deficit your detox gives you.

kitty brooking for you!

Oh Scarlett that's amazing news, I'm so chuffed for you!! How you feeling about next Wednesday?

10 pounds Shock turn sideways and you'll disappear Wink

ScarlettInSpace · 05/09/2013 09:30

Morning all,

I got through to the next round Grin 2nd interview next Weds I also got some really good feedback from the interviewer [who will be my boss] about things I need to work on for the next stage, so she must want to me to do well which is a good sign. If I get through that ok then it's the final meet the directors & do a presentation time eeeek!

Re the diet, its supposed to be a detox really and the weight loss is secondary but I do it for weight loss 10lbs off on the scales this morning, even if its water, its water that shouldn't be there! And I am drinking shitloads of water/fruit teas etc, I've never wee'd so much lol.

The first 2 days are intense, no food just tablets, aloe vera & 1 shake in the evening but from day 2 to day 9 the aloe drops to twice a day & its 2 shakes a day + a 600 calorie meal which I'm struggling to eat if I'm honest. I'm not scientific about the 600 calories btw I just ballpark it, fill up with salad & veg and have a piece of fruit if I'm hungry in the day... Both times I've done it before the weight has stayed off [until I go on holiday and eat/drink like a pig]

The key for me is cutting out carbs I dream of pasta sarnies and drinking water when I'm hungry.

geek glad to hear MrG is on the right track again!

keepitgoing · 04/09/2013 22:21

How many dpo is Sunday? What is your normal lp? I assume you are not on any fanny candles?

keepitgoing · 04/09/2013 22:20

Yes, normally by 9 days post trigger it has gone. You could test tomorrow to check if you were brave. Brooking for you!

BlindKitty · 04/09/2013 22:14

keep they're only hurting coz I keep squeezing them haha! Otd is sept 11th but might have a sneaky poas on sun. The trigger should have left my body by then yeh?

keepitgoing · 04/09/2013 21:46

BlindKitty · 04/09/2013 21:18

scarlett although you'll have list some weight, a lot of that will be water you know although you may not want to take advice from someone who squeezes her boobs every hour

Fox82 · 04/09/2013 20:46

Hope the interview went well Scarlett! And 8lbs!!! Wow! Very jealous! I keep losing 3lb during the week, then putting on 3lb over the weekend Blush

We won't know for certain until mid-October maybe, but the feedback that MrG's had so far is that things are on track, so that's a huge relief. Not so sure about the healthy eating plan. Today was our second fasting day of this week and I think MrG was starting to see pork chops and legs of lamb everywhere he looked!

Looks like it will be my first ever (as in EVER, ever!) 27 day cycle.

Sorry not to namecheck more, have only just finished work and I'm knackered and can't even have a bloody coffee
