Beedle and Keep, am keeping my fingers crossed for you both (and Imps).

Losing track, how many weeks are you all and when are the various scans due?

I weighed myself today, now lost 15 1/2 lb since Christmas. Am hoping the steady loss continues. I have plenty more to lose. Have worked out that if I can lose 4lb a month then by October my BMI would be below 30 and I'd be 15lb lighter than when I conceived the boys. Obviously I'm hoping that I get a sticky BFP before then! But it's something else to focus on each month that I'm waiting for the BFP!

BeedlesPineNeedles · 18/03/2016 12:39

That's great loopy well done you. Is it just due to the metformin or have you been doing something else as well? I hope it can make a difference.

I'm 6+5 and have a scan on wednesday next week, bit scared. We haven't told anyone yet (apart from you lot!) but if all goes well next week I'll tell my parents and a couple of friends. not sure when MrB will tell his family but as they don't know anything about how hard its been I Think he might decide to wait until 12 weeks. But there definitely won't be any FB announcements for a very long time, and absolutely no scan pictures!

I'm 11+1 scan on 31st, I think imps is 8 weeks and scan a similar time

I never did a fb announcement beedle, and wouldn't this time

Brilliant weight loss loopy! And as you say a great distraction

BeedlesPineNeedles · 18/03/2016 14:00

yes I Think imps is 1+3 ahead of me so she is 8+1 now. I had a feeling she had something happening the day Before my scan but I can't remember what - must be baby brain (yeah another symptom!)

cartoontrickster · 18/03/2016 20:07

That's great loopy are you following a particular diet?
I've just started doing weight watchers again because I gained over Xmas (as you do!) But have carried on gaining since so I've decided to try and put a stop to that before it gets too bad. I'm aiming to lose one stone.

Loopyaboutmy2boys · 19/03/2016 08:27

Beedle fingers and toes crossed for Wednesday for you. And hoping that Keep and Imps make it a hat trick of good scans.

Re weight loss, no I'm not following any diet. The metformin is definitely to thank, it's taken away my appetite. I have spent my whole life feeling starving, even after a decent meal I'd be craving snacks in the evening and in the afternoons too. Now I just don't feel hungry. I'm not allowed to drink whilst on it (it's got very serious implications if I do) although I rarely drank so that's not saved me many calories. I just never feel like snacking and I'm eating smaller portions for my meals but eating exactly the same types of food as before, just less of them. I've had small portion of chicken and chips this month, had a sausage with mash and peas last night, had a French bread pizza thing from Tesco for tea earlier in the week but I only needed one to fill me up and it was 200 and something calories. If I were to eat too much "bad stuff" then I'd be risking being stuck to the toilet for hours on end dealing with the consequences but I just don't have the appetite for a great deal anyhow. But I've lots of weight still to lose, if you listen to the BMI charts re ideal weights that people should be, then from my starting weight I needed to lose 5 stone to be at the supposed ideal weight for my height. I'd be happy to get to the level where my BMI is below 30, so if I lose another 2 stone more I would be at that point. Feels like a long way off but for the first time in my life I feel it could be possible to lose more.

farfallarocks · 19/03/2016 19:50

Brookers! I can't believe what I am reading! Imps, beedles and keep yay!!!! So excited for you all. Imps that was a real fufcbfp??
Best of luck to loopy and trix thinking of you all.
Little G is 4 months old can you believe it! He is a major sleep thief and we seem to have all been ill all winter but can't believe I have 2 brooking babies. Am here cheering you all on x

Loopyaboutmy2boys · 20/03/2016 07:16

Something odd is happening here. It's cd14 today. The day before yesterday the brown gunk that's been happening for about a week stopped and ewcm appeared, and even more of it yesterday, and feeling pressure like ovaries are doing something. This is all very odd. During the 2 clomid cycles I didn't ovulate until overnight between cd19/20. My average natural cycles prior to the clomid cycles I was ovulating between cd26-30. Did an ovulation test yesterday and it did detect LH, although not anywhere near dark enough a line yet. We DTD last night just in case but my brain is telling me it's way too early for ovulation unless coming off clomid has somehow rebooted my body to behave normally?!

Imps9 · 20/03/2016 09:50

In a cafe with wifi so thought I'd sneak in and say "hello".

Loopy sounds like ov is imminent. May not come for another couple of days I guess and CD16 isn't that far off CD19. THIS is the one, esp without the stress of scans etc. Keep smacking that rat!

Keep and Beedles, so willing those scan dates to come quickly for you. There's just too much waiting and time goes so slowly. Did you have sickness last time Keep? Not that it's relevant to this pregnancy - they're all different.

Far so lovely to see you. And G is 4 months old already?? Wowzers! Yes, this is a FUFCBFP and an accidental one at that. We were hoping to avoid getting diffed that month on the basis that another MC/ectopic would delay IVF again. Not taking anything for granted, but all seemed as it should at the 7 week scan. I have another one on Tuesday when I will be 9+1.

Trix you are deffo deffo deffo diffed. There is no other outcome. Well done!

AFM, having a lovely holiday. Less active than usual on account of tiredness and sickness (me, not Mr Imps) but it's always nice to be away. Have had a few al fresco voms during our walks but luckily no one other than Mr I had been around. And I for one think that the site of Henry VIII/James IV 1513 battle is significantly improved with the addition of some regurgitated mini-Babybel.

Right, best be off, hope you all have a nice Sunday.

BeedlesPineNeedles · 21/03/2016 06:20

Glad you're having a good hoilday imps shame about the vomming!

loopy it sounds like something is happening, maybe the clomid has done some good.

We had a nice weekend, managed to go to the gym (I hadn't been for 2 weeks!) and we did some stuff in the garden, it was Lovely and sunny.

My boobs have deinitely got bigger, I've gone up a whole cup size Shock and even though I'm feeling fatter in the evenings, I've only put on half a kilo in weight.

Checking in too and can't believe all the amazing news on this thread. Thrilled for all of you Cake Flowers

Don't know if any of you remember me but I had DC3 (a little girl called Lara) in November

Pastamancer · 21/03/2016 09:05

I remember you, congrats Thanks

Pastamancer · 21/03/2016 09:06

Beedles while we are talking about your boobs, are you in the correct size?

BeedlesPineNeedles · 22/03/2016 06:20

Close enough I Think pasta the wires lie flat against my chest, no overspill from the cups. Though it is from M & S so that's probably a crime!

Whilst we're talking about boobs, how much bigger will they grow? Or is that a how long is a piece of string question? :o Do I need to start thinking about buying the next size up?

I remember you gobbo, haven't you got all 3 kids quite Close together? I hope its not too hectic in your house! Congratulations on DD Flowers

imps Another scan day, good luck

OP posts:
Imps9 · 22/03/2016 09:07

Scan done (not a fanjo one today hurrah!). Everything's looking fab and baby is measuring 9w exactly. I can't believe it - I honestly can't believe it. Brooking that things stay positive.

Re: boobs. Starting off from a teeny A cup, I am hoping I will go up to DD at least, but it's not looking like that's going to happen. Boobs are a bit bigger but not massively so.

Loops what egg news?

BeedlesPineNeedles · 22/03/2016 09:13

yippeee imps so pleased for you :o Did you know in advance it wouldn't be a dildocam? I Think I prefer dildocam to sitting around waiting with a full bladder! I can go for ages without needing a wee. But if someone says I mustn't wee, then I need one. Even if I've just had one!

What's next for you?

OP posts:
Imps9 · 22/03/2016 09:19

Oh and Gob it seems like only yesterday you were back here TTC DC3. Can't believe she's 4 months already!! Congratulations Flowers

Pastamancer · 22/03/2016 09:27

Fab news Imps. Oh and there is absolutely no way you are an A cup. I can tell without even seeing you.

Imps9 · 22/03/2016 11:41

I am certainly of minute boob Pasta. No confusion with mountains here.

Just got to the office to find that my boss has put me forward for promotion! Today's turning into a good day.

cartoontrickster · 22/03/2016 11:59

Yay! Brilliant news imps. My consultant always said that 9wks was a good mile stone. Have you measured yourself the mumsnet way? And you beedle?
I gained several cup sizes during the first trimester with N and then switched to crop top type things because bras were too uncomfortable. I went up to a 30f which is what I still wear now. As for weight gain nothing until we went on an all inclusive holiday when I was 10wks (approx) Blush I made up for the fact I couldn't have the alcohol!
As for me just hanging around till test day.

keepitgoing · 22/03/2016 12:09

Oh double yay imps!! Amazing news! I'm so jealous I'm desperate for a scan...

beedle in my experience they ger bigger fairly early then not much more till right at the end. My bras are def wring I went to get measured yesterday but no slots so I'm just spilling over the top. I have a wide selection of bras from my last pg but I'm just confused as none seem to fit...

When are you testing *trix?

cartoontrickster · 22/03/2016 12:30

I'm wondering if Friday is too soon, as we are going out for drinks in the evening. My positive ov stick was on the 15th. Saturday will be 4 weeks since last af started.

Pastamancer · 22/03/2016 12:38

I'm not aware of anyone as small as an A when in the proper size. What band are you wearing and what size top do you wear? PM me if you don't want to post it on here but I bet you are wearing a band that is too big and a cup that is too small

BeedlesPineNeedles · 23/03/2016 06:08

D-Day has arrived (that's dildocam day!) but I still have Another 7 hours to wait. Feeling really quite anxious, I'm worried it might break us if its not good news
