Morning everyone.
How sad to read about cancer destructing so many of your lives. @Tigsy I remember you mentioned about your mum before, you guys sound so close. It's just so shit 
I don't know how, but so far my family and I have dodged the Big C, actually I'm lying, my mum had skin cancer on her nose several years back but it was removed easily. I do wonder, as it is so so common, when (not if) it will hit us and it does worry me. It's a bit like a ticking time bomb isn't it 
I do think after all this crap that has hit us over the past few years, that this will be the next thing that will hit us. I think I am the only person I know who hasn't lost someone close or been affected by it so I am acutely aware it will be our turn soon enough.
@rather these symptoms are so frustrating aren't they! I think preg symptoms don't tend to kick in until about 6 weeks so, personally, everything I am getting which is nothing except constipation and the usual metal mouth, I am putting down to progesterone/TWW symptoms. Our bodies are so cruel to us , still I really do hope yours amounts to good things!
@Betty I have also put on weight for the same reasons. I keep berating myself for it but three losses over 3 years can put a strain on the body. I had a great figure before I fell pregnant with Emily. Then I got a bit too comfy and ate what I felt like while preg. Then it was a downward spiral from there really. I'm a pear shape so I only put on weight below my waist which (I think) looks really odd. If I was more in proportion I don't think I'd mind so much - like fatter boobs might be nice rather than thunder thighs 
Interesting that @edidxb and @buggles are talking in kgs, are you from Oz? I can only work in stones. I used to be a svelte 8st8, now I am 10st5 and a half! (this morning) and I'm only 5ft4. It's not overweight but I feel so gross. It's not me. I've just worked out that is 66kgs 
@Buggles1 I know what you mean about being stuck in limbo waiting to be pregnant. I started exercising (30 Day Shred DVD) pre ovulation but stop as soon as ovulation is confirmed to avoid hurting anything that may be growing in there (ha! as if)
@edidxb I'm glad you got a load of drugs to help. I used Cyclogest and aspirin in my last preg but it didn't work for me sadly but I guess nothing will help with chromosome issues. I will enquire about the other things though.
@tigsy how was it at collection last night?
@Betty I totally relate to feeling hopeless. I am spending all my money on so many supplements that I rattle, and gluten free stuff and sodding oat milk. I have no money left to enjoy myself whatsoever. All DP has to do is have sex with me at the right time, but he doesn't even do that.
I can't even talk to him because it will be 'pressure'. God forbid I mention the SMEP thing. He won't have the same reaction as some of your DHs as I am the one with the higher sex drive. I think he'd rather have less sex tbh. Then you look at other people and they are falling pregnant all over the place like it is the easiest thing in the world.
I overheard a guy in the phone in sainsburys telling his mate they are having a night out as his GF is expecting and so is someone else.
I wanted to scream at him "Do you really think you will get a baby at the end if it you IDIOT!" - obviously I didn't as that would be mental but it made me so sad and angry. Just because someone else is pregnant - I think I am probably not very well to be honest as I've had this jealousy for so long now.
@Rose How are you doing today? Re Clomid, I though it was just for women who didn't ovulate? I know a lot of women with PCOS are prescribed it (though it is hard to get it) because they aren't having periods/ovulating. I don't know of the benefits for someone like you who does ovulate. As for risks, it can cause multiples and I understand it screws with your hormones so you may become a bitch troll from hell 
@Kinsters Enjoy skiiing! (and the prosecco!)
