Getting Ready for Baby Challenge -Pt 2

Buzz that sounds pants! Sorry to hear it's so rubbish
Nikki wow I'm jealous!

It's quite nice in a weird way having af as for a few days my minds not completely taken up with baby related stuff as nothing's happening if that makes sense?! Had the most productive couple of hours.

Oh and more agreement about ovia... I wanted her to say something comforting when I logged first day of AF and all she said was "you are having a heavy period..' yes, thanks ovia, I know that, where is the emotional support?

I think I'm expecting too much from an app.

Ohh buzz sorry you've had such a crappy day. So unfair. Hope you're okay.

Mummyme the suspense continues! Fingers crossed for you tomorrow. All of the symptoms you've described sound very promising...

Nick amazing weight loss well done! I'm going to weigh myself at the end of the week as AF in full swing and won't see any loss of water retention for another couple of days.

Confused so sorry to hear about your arsehole ex. It sounds awful but how liberating that you don't have to spend your life with him. At least you can sit back and enjoy that feeling!

Oh no buzz that's awful! Screw work, you shouldn't be made feel like that! Also.. Ovia is a real bitch when she wants to be!
mummy sugar hopefully if u get a frer you will have good news!
theres and pony and nick I am off to make some egg muffins!!
Doing homework with DS now...... Fave Part of my day.... Not!!

buzz sorry you're having a bad time at work 🍷

I haven't given up yet. I'm only 10dpo and AF isn't due for another 4 days

I think wine is the answer! 🍷🍷🍷

Oh no Buzz that's awful, i don't know what to suggest but make sure you look after yourself

Just an extension of yesterday's issues being expected to do everything but now lots of people shouting at me down the phone about things out of my control it just got too much! 😔

Aww buzz what's up?

So guys, we have resorted to crying in the loos at work ffs! I want to blame hormones because Ovia says I'm in my fertile window? But it also says that means I'll be happier? So calling bullshit on that Ovia!!

Sorry for bfn mummy, don't give up yet!

Niggles not bugles

So i tested today and was BFN... however, I thought I was buying a FRER and realised when I got back it was a rapid response not early response 😫 Sensitivity is apparently 50mIU so highly unlikely to be able to detect a pregnancy at 10dpo. The saga continues. I'm going to fat club tonight sonwill go via Tesco and get some FRER 😡

I just had some (sorry TMI) yellow CM, EWCM consistency and having lots of pelvic bugles today

I'm another fan of egg muffins- I make a big batch and put them in the freezer and then pop two out and heat in microwave wither tomatoes for breakfast. So tasty.

Nick well done! A stone off already! That is fab!

A stone in 3 weeks is amazing nick ! well done!

I have also just discovered egg muffins, had them for dinner last night stuffed with peppers, bacon and mushroom, very filling aren't they.

Those Porky Light sausages are causing a real stir - sold out in lots of places as only 0.5syns on SW.

I find it hard to keep up with you lot! Anyway, weighday Wednesday and I only lost 1lb this week but I wasn't particularly good.... but that's a stone down in 3 weeks which I'm chuffed with :)

Healthy snacks - I love fruit generally, but I also like mini egg muffin things - whisk up a couple of eggs, shove in some ham, onion, mini toms or whatever and pour into a muffin tin and bake until cooked. Ooohhh and I snack on porky light sausages!

grumpy not sure about posterior cervix... I know before AF it gets lower and should go high if pregnant but apparently isn't a good predictor or pregnancy.
Im not feeling over positive... last cycle I was having brown discharge for the 2/3days leading up to AF but only on my cervix, wasn't actually coming out.. so keeping a close look out for that again.

mummy good luck with testing! Very exciting!
So diet stats.... Im not officially looking to lose pounds although if I lose 5lb I would be happy! I am however trying to improve my overall health so have been eating lots of kale and having kale, berry and pear smoothies every morning for breakfast which I have to say does fill me til lunch! My problem is breakfast, lunch and dinner are really healthy but then I keep having bad snacks like crisps and chocolate and if I could stop that!! Also need to exercise more, keep saying I'll get out walking but never seems to happen!
theres how long til you go skiing?
If anyone has any healthy snack ideas please share!

Mummy is posterior cervix a sign? You are killing us all with the suspense lol. Can't wait to see the next test.

Lost so far - 5 lbs
Aim for Jan - at least 6 lbs (but unlikely, being so poorly this week has really messed up my eating)

Total aim is still 2st this year, i lost 4st in 8 months in 2013 when i was very overweight so i know i can do it!

Morning ladies!
I didn't retest yesterday as didn't have any FRER or pink dye tests, had a really busy day at work yesterday and ended up getting an uber home so didn't go to any shops. I have however collected my FMU and will go in to town shortly to get more tests.
I'm 10dpo today, AF due on Sunday. Symptom spotting like a crazed neurotic woman. Getting daily lower back ache and I kept thinking my boobs felt fuller in my bra yesterday.... cervix is really posterior (facing backwards) which I haven't noticed before and still quite high, can only tip it. CM is like white lotion, wouldn't say it was in abundance however.
This whole tww is driving me bonkers 😖

On the weight front I am not losing but then I'm not following slimming world. Must go back tonight and face the music

I did buy this last night though:

www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002VF8EXC/ref=pe_385721_37986871_TE_item?tag=mumsnetforum-21

So about to enter the world of opks and temperatures! I'm worried about the temperature malarkey though, I always wake up at different times and wake up to go to the loo in the night. Will this make a big difference?

I'm only 5lbs heavier than wedding day so goal is very close but the last 5lbs are the hardest!!!

I am 4lbs down from start but fluctuate by 2lbs daily.. skipping dinner on the nights I do yoga. Trying to eat less carbs and more veg.

Sorry to hear about the idiot ex confused

confused sounds exactly like my ex! Emotionally/financially abusive and not until I met my DH to be that I realised the extent and that I had been with him for 5 years feel like I wasted so much time! Oh well it all worked out in the end I suppose!

Diet stats:
Started SW last september, lost 24lbs in total so far but only 1lb since January (after the extra Christmas weight came off) so not feeling that great! Got another stone to lose before May!

And got Carluccios night with my friend again so pasta and wine 😩 (Well 🎉 really, but not for the diet!)

What have you found helps your weight loss? I really need to drink more water. 2-3l per day sounds so much though confused

theres congrats on your linking success!!
