Getting Ready for Baby Challenge -Pt 2

[confusedat23]

Just a follow on from our 1st thread!

Theres is our motherhen, we are all just a bunch of crazy ladies either TTC or waiting to start!

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!

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

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!

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.

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!

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'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!

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

Niggles not bugles

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!

Aww buzz what's up?

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! 😔

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

I think wine is the answer! 🍷🍷🍷

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

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!!

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 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.

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.

I never used an app. We just did it the old fashioned way and dtd every other day.

Is excessive hunger a pregnancy sign lol.. just ate half a pizza and half a pack of ravioli

Possibly pre AF carb cravings..?

Thank you for all the well wishes! You're a lovely bunch

As if today couldn't get any worse, my only rl ttc friend has just found out she has pcos. How rubbish is that? Both trying at the same time now it's going to be so tough 😔

Holly how are you feeling? Lots of sickness?

grumpy pizza and ravioli sounds perfect!!

tigger totally know what you mean! Feel like it's 4 days of calm in the whole month!

All good really here thanks buzzmoon. Sickly in the afternoons and bugger boobs but otherwise fine. Lots of people on the september thread are having no symtoms so dont loose hope all.

Waiting to see this frer mummy!

Keep positive all xx

Buzz here's to a better day tomorrow ! 💐

I better get my stats in now. I've lost a lb since the start of Jan (-3 then +2) and I'm sure that will be gone when I weigh in next week. I really need to up the walking. Need to plan a lunch time route. Once spring arrives I'll be trying to eat lunch in the park to encourage said walking. It's cold now. ❄️

Tww is annoying! I'm so busy, I should have time to symptom spot, but I'm managing to squeeze it in. (So far nothing but a bit of nausea and a sudden aversion to strawberries... which was odd, but I think they were just rubbish strawberries!)

Glad all is well holly!

Here's for a great day for everyone tomorrow!!

Thanks dancing!
It's absolutely freezing this morning isn't it!
theres what's it like in Dubai?? I'm dreaming of hot weather and beaches right now!
