TTC #1 Thread 14. Shroedingering Like Champions! (It's an art form and a skill!)

Ooh great recommendation crazy! I've always wanted to try zumba!

Twinky I've just started doing 'zumba for dummies' from a youtube video, I love it!

Twinky I want to join! I am doing the same. I was eating whatever I wanted because a) I thought I would be pregnant by now b) I was upset I wasnt already
But I have been avoiding treats and bad food all week and I will keep it going! And running a bit again
Congrats maya! First BFP for a long time!!!!

Yoga with Adriene!

Awesome news ladies! I think we should share what exercise we manage to do throughout the week so keep each other motivated. Also any good you tube videos please share. I do body coach Hiits but would love to mix it up a bit!

What was the name of the yoga video someone recommended?

Yeah my cycles are longer too Lillian around 32 days. I think I ovulated day 18/19. Just need to keep reasonably calm now and wait it out I suppose. I have two short weeks in work this week and next week so that should make time go faster and destressing a bit easier!

I hope so feefs - it was reassuring that the sonographer said everything looked otherwise fine for a 5.5-6w bean - also I know my cycles are longer than the usual 28 so makes sense if I'd ovulated later than the more common day 14 - how long are your cycles?

Hi jem things well here with the bee - sucking up all my energy though I'm always so tired!

Congrats Mayago, great news

Congrats mayago, so lovely to see a BFP!

Theorchard, keeping my FX for your TWW. We never DTD as much as we 'should' but I'm trying to hold on to the hope that, as Jem says, we only need one!

I'm definitely in for twink's healthy regime. We're in the middle of a month long holiday and I started off making lots of healthy choices and feeling much better than I had in months but I've reverted back to my old ways (says the person who is just about to get out of bed and go and buy donuts for breakfast...)

Vix, lovely to see you! I definitely think a relaxed approach is beneficial to my mental health if nothing else and that can only be good. I haven't peed on anything for months!

twinky i'm in !

me and OH have fallen off the exercise wagon recently, but managed a nice 6 mile walk today ... it snowed!

Congratulations mayago, lovely to see a stick with two lines on it!!

I'm definitely on board with the fitness pact...I lost 19lbs with weightwatchers (the glamour!) before TTC, but over the past four months I'm creeping back up the scales again. I was hoping DTDing as much as poss would prove to be enough exercise () but sadly I'm going to have to dig out my trainers again!

Checking in just to say Kwick I'm so sorry . Thinking of you. Take care of yourself

I'm on board Twinky! I need to feel strong and toned again! Definitely recommend my fitness pal-i used it religiously for 6months a couple years back and lost a stone...then used it on and off for a while to help maintain weight.... I haven't used it in a long time so obviously things have been creeping back!! Don't want to diet too much while ttc but incorporating walking, some cycling to work and maybe a few weeks of focused cardio (back to 30day shred maybe?), then hopefully lots of regular yoga. What are you guys planning?

congrats maya !!

to 5tar and kwick hope you guys are looking after your selves.

Thanks jem it could be difficult for us, (can't say why, too outing) so trying not to get my hopes up, but it is hard not to. I am most likely to be with you guys for a number of cycles. But as you say it only takes one winning swimmer.
What I find totally mind blowing is that when any one of us was conceived we did all these things,; turned into a ball of cells, travelled down the tube, implanted into our mums uterus, etc and here we are now on mumsnet, seems utterly mad!

All it takes is one determined swimmer theorchard hope you managed to catch your eggo

Hi vix glad to here things are going well and you're feeling more relaxed. Good to see you too Lillian - lovely to hear about little bee!

Thanks Lillian that's really nice to hear your story I hope I'm in the same boat! What kept you sane during those three weeks?

Congrats mayago!! Great news for a Sunday. Can I jump on the weight loss band wagon? Really need to as no will power. Literally typing this from Taco Bell...
I think I will use my fitness pal too. Guess it starts from now!

Checking in late to this thread so just catching up.

kwick so so sorry to hear your news I hope you are being looked after. It's so tough after the rollercoaster of TTC + BFP. Take care

feef my first scan at what my dates said was 7 weeks I only dated 5.5 - 6w as well. We had a follow up scan at 10w and I was dating 9w so although I was a week off the bean was growing at the right rate. Try to stay positive and I hope you have good news at the next scan.

Congratulations maya!!

Update from me, I have had no positive opk's yet, but a couple of faint pink lines previously and Ovia now thinks I ov'd around CD9/10 presumably based on symptoms and cycle length. This moved my fertile window and we only dtd twice in that time. I have had positive opks in the past, but that was earlier in the year when we weren't trying and I was just trying to figure out if I ovulated. So it's all a bit inconclusive. I've ordered a thermometer so I can track bbt next cycle.
I highly doubt I am preg this time, although I've got a very heavy, full /dragging feeling in my pelvic area, nausea, tiredness and palpitations, which makes me irrationally hopeful, BUT I get these feelings every month (except the palpitations which are weird)! If Ovia is correct I am 6 dpo today.
Fx For all in tww, I love seeing the + test pics, I am obsessed!!

Yayyy!!!! Finally another BFP!
Congrats may!
I think we needed this today!

Congrats mayago, definitely 2 pink lines there. Great to see some BFP news on a Sunday morning!

Hi guys, just popping in to say hi!

Feeling so much better now after breaking from ovia, here and the stress I was putting myself under. I have no idea where I am in my cycle, and I'm enjoying that too! Going to continue on the same path and see where I get. I did get curious today because I wanted to see who's got upduffed!

Hope everyone here is well, getting through their 2ww and potentially preggo :)

Congrats mayago!

Congrats mayago!! I can definitely see two lines there! Welcome to the weird and wonderful world of pregnancy ;)

I'm so glad there's been a BFP on here again, it's been very quiet on the upduffed front. Hopefully the winds are changing and there'll be more to follow as we go into May!!
