New thread, hopefully not clashing with another new thread! This Is Our Month, Rat Smackers.

Well I do make a nice lemon and lime cheesecake, so I suppose grapefruit isn't a million miles from that

maybebabyR · 27/07/2011 15:45

Grapefruit=citrus, so lemon and lime is close enough in my book Smile Plus, cheesecake is a pretty balanced little dish - carbs, protein, calcium, fruit... need I go on? Grin

PS I love grapefruit

NinjaChipmunk · 27/07/2011 15:46

you love grapefruit? You are weird. It is the large sour scrote of the devil.

maybebabyR · 27/07/2011 15:48

Sour scote Grin Brilliant Ninja

I do love it, and you are right, I am weird. I could go a whole one now actually

GenericDietCola · 27/07/2011 15:49

Oh maybe I like grapefruit too and isn't it supposed to help with weightloss (actually, that may be an outdated fad diet, but it's good for you in that it's low fat!)

maybebabyR · 27/07/2011 15:50

I think so Generic, and a good source of vit C too! Other than my Dad, I don't know a single other person that likes grapefruit.

my belly twinge has finally worn off i think. Those of you who know about abdominal organs, what else is near your right ovary? Thats roughly where my twinge was and stayed twingy for about 2 and a half hours.

maybebabyR · 27/07/2011 15:53

Just your bowel and kidney Ninja though kidney twinges are normally felt ore in the back. Could well be minininja making their way down to the uterus Smile

Biscuitsandtea · 27/07/2011 15:54

Hmm, I'm not good at organ locations. Surely it could be your right ovary? I get lots of twinging there....

Where are you dpo or cd or whatever?

NinjaChipmunk · 27/07/2011 15:55

this was definitely felt at the front, to the right hand side. Lets just hope it wasn't a fart making its way out of my bowel instead Grin

NinjaChipmunk · 27/07/2011 15:55

af not due on saturday.

GenericDietCola · 27/07/2011 15:57

Agree with Maybe, that will be babyNinja making her way into the uterus, or possibly implanting a bit more firmly seeing as I think you are testing this weekend.

Er, does anyone know if jelly snakes are good for conception? I am also drinking grapefruit juice if that helps

NinjaChipmunk · 27/07/2011 15:58

aren't jelly snakes made with fruit juice? in which case they are perfectly good for you.

GenericDietCola · 27/07/2011 16:00

Fab, thanks Ninja - I've always liked you

I love this thread! I shall henceforth be getting all of my nutritional advice from here, in addition to all of my ttc advice of course!

So healthy foods include:
-Cheesecake (check)

  • Grapefruit (will have to pick some up - sigh)
  • Chocolate raisins (CHECK Grin)
  • Jelly snakes (CHECK Grin)

Ninja that sounds like perfect timing for uterus nestling to me. Have you not tested at all yet? With AF due on sat? I am in awe at the self-control on this thread!! Loving the sour scrote comment as well!

NinjaChipmunk · 27/07/2011 16:45

my twinge is back. I have half an hour of finger twiddling time before I finish work.
scream I don't tend to keep tests in the house as otherwise I'm far too tempted to pee on them. I am wondering if one should fall into my shopping basket on the way home. Has anyone used sainsburys tests? Its either that or boots.

havealittlefaithbaby · 27/07/2011 16:53

I am so tired. Like eye stingingly tired.
I agree ninja minininja is settling in, gotta get comfy!
I like the fantasy future (sorry bit behind work interferes with my MN posting!). Dc1 will be girl, Lily Faith (geddit? DH came up with middle name!). Next dc will be conceived without all this fuss and stress. either as s sprise of

havealittlefaithbaby · 27/07/2011 16:55

Smart phone played up easier to post and restart last sentence....either a surprise or within a couple of months of trying, haven't decided get. Rory for a boy (agreed) or Briony (which decd on

maybebabyR · 27/07/2011 16:56

I have used both before Ninja obsessed with piss sticks

They aren't very different from each other. Are you talking about the pink dye boots ones? Only I had bad evap line on the boots '+' test.

DH and I love Lilly too Have and Eva.

havealittlefaithbaby · 27/07/2011 16:57

(DH has no idea about Briony I chose it today at work>.

GenericDietCola · 27/07/2011 16:57

Ninja I think I had a good result with a Sainsbury's test once - buy a twin pack though because you might get a false negative at this stage

Have love your girl's name - you'll get to use it soon!

maybebabyR · 27/07/2011 17:02

Definitely make a gf cheesecake Have Smile

NinjaChipmunk · 27/07/2011 17:04

I think some cheesecake might fall into my shopping basket too at this rate!
