@candycrush2298 You're hoping for that temp drop aren't you but you're like the most amazing out of all of us at taking temperatures why do you want a temp drop? Does it do more than BBT?

candycrush2298 · 07/09/2020 10:13

@Kaybobx sorry just seen the previous messages you testing Sunday ooooh can't even wait.

@Elakiya yep sure am hahahahaha because I want my life to be easier I don't like waking up at 5am 7 days a week and if I wake up a bit before 5 I get so mad at myself knowing my temp isn't 100% accurate I am really anal about doing things exactly as it should be 🤣🤣🤣 its a terrible trait of mine lol so tempdrop will be less stressful and no it only temps 🤣🤣

@Kaybobx you bet we're getting PG. I am not BD-ing anymore. If I am not PG cycle, it's going to be a full insemination cycle next month lol!

@candycrush2298 Fair enough.

candycrush2298 · 07/09/2020 10:24

@Elakiya lol I love your thinking!! Full insemination month 🤣🤣🤣 hey it may just work you never know.

@Elakiya hahahaha!!!

@candycrush2298 aww i hope you get what you want but hope you're not disappointed if it's not that.

candycrush2298 · 07/09/2020 10:45

@Kaybobx me too but I won't be because whatever if it is I am sure I will like it. I am trying to think of what I have mentioned I wanted over the last few months weeks and I just cant think of what it is lol.
Oh well I will let you all know on Sunday hahaha (but think I will get it before then because hubby is terrible at keeping secrets when he has it in his hands he can't help but get too excited to give it hahaha)

@candycrush2298 Your husband sounds like me this is usually how ours go :
Me : go out and by it like the day before.
Me (in the evening): I have a present for you for tomorrow.
Hubby: Oh really, what is it?
Me: Nope

2 hours later
Me: Do you want to know what it is?
Hubby: urmmm okay
Me: Okay I'll get it out but you can't open it

10 Minutes later
Me: Open it open it
Hubby: urmm... okay
Hubby opens present

Me: Listing all the other things I was potentially going to buy him before I settled on this.

Also we have a joint account, I use his credit cards and I use his amazon account therefore I can't really get away with much. But that's usually what happens when I do. I am pretty useless.

candycrush2298 · 07/09/2020 11:01

@Elakiya 🤣🤣🤣🤣 omg you have just described my husband to a T!!! That is exactly what he does 🤣🤣🤣

Its so cute though I think its super sweet!!! It adds to the type of person you are - such a softie and love spoiling others 💜💜

Kaybobx · 07/09/2020 11:16

@Elakiya haha yup thats me too! 😂

candycrush2298 · 07/09/2020 11:37

@Kaybobx awww you're also such a sweetypie!!

@Elakiya don't know if you have used the app Flo well when you log certiain things a dialogue box comes up and one of the things it says is spotting when you're not on your period could be due to multiple things but one thing stood out and it said thyroid issues.... have you ever had your thyroid checked??? Just thought I would mention it in case.

OP posts:
Elakiya · 07/09/2020 11:44

@candycrush2298 Yh I use the flo app. I am not sure I've been tested for thyroid but will check with my gynae after doing all his blood tests etc.

candycrush2298 · 07/09/2020 11:50

@Elakiya yeah well I logged spotting so the virtual assistant popped up with 9 possible reasons for spotting when not menstruating and we know most of them but saw the thyroid one and was like hmmm, that never crossed my mind before (mine just popped up because I forgot to edit my AF dates I am still spotting tody argh just want her to end already) might just be worth mentioning to your gynea as I am chatting with this American girl and she said she had to stop TTC to get her thyroid under control with meds and she had some other illness that needed her to be on BC for like 8 months and the month after stopping BC bam she conceived first time.

@Welliedays my user name is the same as on here

Welliedays · 07/09/2020 12:36

I've just sent you a request @kaybobx

Elakiya · 07/09/2020 12:41

I don't really have instagram. I made one to document my pcos journey but haven't really posted anything. I am a bit useless like that, also don't have facebook.

@candycrush2298 Unsure if we discussed this but when you mentioned you making slimming world recipes, did you actually join slimming world or just follow the recipes?

candycrush2298 · 07/09/2020 12:48

@Elakiya no I didn't actually join, I just used recipe ideas I got from here:

www.slimmingeats.com/blog/slimming-world-recipes

And then created the recipes on myfitnesspal using the ingredients I actually bought and weighed my food. Didn't actually pay to join Slimming World though.

I also bought a Fitbit Aria scale that syncs to my app and linked myfitnesspal to my Fitbit app so all my food synced to Fitbit and I could see my weight going down along with the calories in / vs calories out.

OP posts:
Elakiya · 07/09/2020 12:56

@candycrush2298 omg it even has meal plans. That's amazing. Going to follow 16:8 until exams end and try to control portions then after I'm done with exams I'll do these meal plans because I can cook :)

candycrush2298 · 07/09/2020 13:07

@Elakiya I know right it is absolutely brilliant - I never followed Slimming World like with syn free meals etc. I did full on calorie counting because myfitnesspal worked out the calories and macros based on the meal ideas I got from slimming world.So many fab ideas on switching high calorie foods with lower calorie foods but still having nice yummy meals. Honestly it was how I lasted on it for so long because I didn't feel like I was on diet.

16:8 sounds like a great starting place remember to keep your water intake high as well it definitely helps during the 16 part. That is a great idea, glad I could help :)

@Elakiya OMG I had no idea there was a part of Mumsnet that had this. That is wow just crazy. Feel sorry for the girl but at the same time man its like just why... I would not have the patience to be doing all this.
