TTC Thread 14 ... Santa knows what we want for Christmas

good good twiga, here's my worpped sence of logic here (and please know i'm a natural blonde .... no offense to those who are also blondes but I tend to live up to the reputation of being a bit dense at times! lol)

I go swimming twice a week mon and thurs and do at least 40 lenghts (30 is half a mile) and as such I feel as a reward I can have my choc triffle after or a mars bar.... that way i'm keeping my weight even and apparently toning up??

doesn't include dieting, and only involves the gym if that's how you want to keep fit!

ok, will start us off once typed this! Munzie, the idea is set your own goal - hopefully achievable and then we all nag you to make sure you stick to it - if nothing else the extra christmas pounds might not stick as much as usual. We thought we'd try the whole excersice helps conception theory, also the natural endorphine release might help us keep our chins up! Definately does not mean giving up chocolate or wine!

lol @hester!! so what's this challenge then girls, as lonng as it doesn't involve......

1. joining a gym
2. 'trying to diet
3. trying to give up choc and wine

then i'm in! (oh and i'm not keen on sit ups so will avoid them if poss??)

Oh, Tania, nearly forgot - Happy birthday to your ds (it's stil friday here)!

{{{hugs}}} BeckiF and Tania, lol x

Right then that's seven of us on the old keep-fit thing: Me, Runtus, Rudydudy, Ernest, Morningpaper,Hester and Pooka. I've also ordered a pedometer thought might as well give it a go. Reckon we should keep this nice and easy, each one of us decide what our goal is ie Hester is aiming for the gym 3 times a week and then we nag eachother into sticking to it - should we start a thread for it? We could start from tomorrow and report in our progress at least once a week, say saturday to saturday. Once we get our pedometers we could record our step seach day as well?

BELLA- CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU AND YOUR PARTNER. I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU.

I AM OVULATING TOMORROW, SO SEND ME YOUR BABY DUST. I STARTED THIS THREAD THIS WEEK SO I HOPE IM AS LUCKY.

BIG HELLO TO NEWCOMERS..

XX

i know i am soooooo lucky to have my dp. he really is a wonderful man, i sometimes take him for granted.

Becki > hope you start to feel better soon. you really are overdue some happiness. you always have words of comfort for everyone on here, there is always an ear if you need it.

well i just read on the news that Madonna is 'seeing what happens', which all us ttc'ers know is a load of bull!!! she'll be going crazy just like the rest of us!

i am having a nightmare trying to decide what to wear tonight. i don't want to make my pregnant friend feel awkward. she's erm (how do i put this politely) a big girl anyway, and i'm the one you all love to hate (skinny, no matter what i eat). i don't want to be overdressed but am taking the (rare) opportunity to get dressed up.

lol shouldn't be too hard i've only got about three things to choose from anyway!!

anyone else got plans for tonight? or the weekend?

Running used to be my thing. Did a marathon just before dd conceived, had never been so fit, or so thin. Must admit that I'd been wondering whether it'd be a good idea to try and get fitter to replicate my physical condition when last conceived. Was rather underweight if naything, then. Oh blimey, I suppose I'll have to make the effort now.....harumphhhh. Count me in!

that's a lovely thought mp

hi pooka - can't help really re AF but I wouldn't have thought that a bug would delay it. Sorry not to be more help but I do understand how you feel. When my AF was late last month I got to the stage of wanting it to arrive so I could start another cycle. Fingers crossed for you.

Ooh ok then, I have just ordered a FREE pedometer from Walker's Crisps website!!! One per household - do it ladies!! It says delivery time is up to 12 weeks although this sounds a LITTLE extreme...

Maybe if we all take enough little steps we'll be hearing the patter of OTHER little steps sooner rather than later!

Congrats Bella
Sorry you're feeling low, Tania It must be really emotional having your ds's birthday party, such a tangible indication that he's getting older - mixed feelings, I'm sure. Hope you feel more up (and cooler) soon,

Still no AF here. Now on cd 32. Haven't a clue what's going on. I know I've said I have irregular periods, but not by much more than a dy or two. Def not pregnant as tested yesterday, think I have a bug as feel very hot and shivery. Would that delay AF?

Really hoping that AF comes soon now, as want to get started on another cycle, the sooner the better. Really worried and annoyed that periods don't seem to have settled down properly even though dd now 16 months (but did breast feed until 12 months).

Baby dust to all hoping to test soon.

I'm in runtus. what exactly are we committing ourselves to btw?

hi to all the new 'faces' & big gongratulations to bella

sorry you & dh are having a hard time beckif xxx

So what's the fitness challenge then? I'd definitely be up for it, though not sure when I'd fit anything in. At the moment I do a yoga class once a week and walk with DS probably about 1 hour a day. (My best bet might actually be laying off the Dairy Milk ). But always open to a challenge...pedometers seem to be the thing of the moment, perhaps we could have a steps per day / week challenge?

CD11 here for me and nothing too exciting going on apart from the fact (TMI warning) that I am as horny as hell! So lots of bd action around here but unfortunately at completely the wrong time!! I have about 8/9 more days until Ov so hoping that I'm not peaking too soon (so to speak ). The really good thing about it is that it reassures dh that I'm not just after him for his swimmers iykwim

Anyway, lots of love and babydust to all you lovely ladies xxx

((((becki)))) so sorry to hear you've been feeling low . Sounds like it might be an idea to have a break from the temping. Sending lots of babydust and hugs your way.

Congrats Bella Wishing you a very healthy and happy 9 months.

Welcome to Joshy, Magkel & Marinda. This thread moves very fast but is a fabulous source of support and information (and laughs - great joke munnzieb

hello all - had a really busy couple of days so not managed to log on and the thread seems to have run wild...as always! Will have a quick scan down for juicy bits

Sorry Beckif that you are feeling low.......no words of wisdom I am afraid just lots of hugs xx

Ooh and I'm up for the TTC fitness challenge - who's in???

Afternoon all! Been away from the pc since Weds so this is my first chance to catch up with you all.........glad the party went well Tania - sounds fab!

Massive congrats to the BFP - well done girl!!

Would you believe there is still no sign at all of af??? Now on day 49 and look to be heading towards missing it entirely. Did another HPT on Monday just to convince myself I'm not going mental and got the preictable BFN,thinking now that if AF doesn't show by the weekend I am going to have top pay the DR's a visit and see what he says. Is there anything they can give me to make me come on or do I just have to wait it out? What if I never come on, do I never get to take my pills???Sorry, as youi ay be able to tell, this is playing on my mind a bit! Think I would be handling it much better if the Clomid wasn't looking at me everyday!
