**things.

@GCS34 much better thanks! I’d love to post mine but it really is super identifying. Ohhh I hope it is nice too so we can get out in the garden as well. I think grapefruit juice has something to do with progesterone? Or is that pomegranates? But I might be totally wrong and I have no idea. I’ve sort of given up on dietary changes. I do just have one cup of coffee a day but I think eating healthily in general is a good thing. My acupuncturist suggested cutting all sugar out (even fruit), and that’s when I decided to stop going 😂

@CAGH03 It’s probably worth getting a gp appointment if you’re struggling so much and the gp won’t mind at all, it’s what they’re there for. X

Oh good point re apps @CAGH03 I know there’s an app called freegle where people give away all sorts, including food. And that 2 good to go one is really good, I’ve used it before in Edinburgh X

Glad you’re on the mend!! 🤍and I think that’s pomegranate but I dunno. I Just buy in to everything. I should know better given my job but it’s so damn hard! 😂
as if she said that. I don’t agree that your acupuncturist is giving out dietary advice. She’s not a nutritionist and know it’s added sugar that’s the bad guy, not pissing strawberries. Less nutritioning, more needling lady! But yeah sack her off ( I still want acupuncture 😂) I do still have 1 coffee a day too, but no alcohol 🙄 well. In my mini break now I’m allowed right?! 😏

@CAGH03 have your family been able to help out at all? Xx

@GCS34 my family won't even let me borrow £10 let alone £100🤣 I get a free meals at work around 3am so I'll just have to do that all week until o get paid next week x

I know right?! I don’t have a lot of extra sugar and I really enjoy my berries with my porridge everyday so there’s no way I’m cutting them out. Also they are beneficial in other ways. Same I have one coffee and no booze, but it does get a bit tiring doesn’t it? So many restrictions on us! Absolutely allowed booze on a mini break, you have to live otherwise we would all lose it completely. I also keep thinking of all the pregnant heroin addicts I see, I am pretty certain they are not being super careful with their diets so don’t beat yourself up about it too much.

I sound way more relaxed about ttc than I usually am (maybe I’ve given up?). I promise I am a monster in the second half of the 2ww @GCS34

Well I'm just back from my acupuncture appt. She also tried to give me nutrition advice but when I said I was vegetarian she had nothing for me lol. She kept telling me an authentic Chinese diet is the best... well ok lady but you're going to have to come cook it for me every day! 😂 cos I'd butcher it.

She's also given up on me getting pregnant.. didn't even try to book me in for next appointment. She just said call me when you want one 🤣 nobody has any hope anymore!

@dabs9 Oh gosh, it was probably the vegetarian thing that set her off 🤣 or refusing to give up the good stuff (fruit) I always see people recommending a mediterranean diet but I'm veggie too 🫠 @GCS34 we need you! Don't leave us because we're plant eaters. 🤣 Grapefruit is supposed to be good for CM!

@dabs9 Oh wait, @Annapolis35 your acupuncturist was the one saying to quit sugar 🤣 gosh, so many acupuncturists around. Like @GCS34 I still want one though so I can ignore their suggestions 😅

@CAGH03 Oh gosh, you poor thing. What a pain! Have you tried asking your new company for a small advance? Just for your first pay check? Definitely try to avoid payday loan companies, they prey on people and you can end up in a lot of trouble.

I'm also really sorry to hear your food bank requires a note. It's so unfair that because you aren't on benefits you can't get help. 😔

I'm glad you can get meals at 3am. Can you take extra for your other half (pop them in a sandwich box) and then eat them the next day? X

Oh god the pressure!!! I mean, I’m not saintly. Literally I ate a crunchie for breakfast this morning, with an apple chaser. Balance right? 😏😉but yeah the acupuncturist proper got the hump with you when you said you’re veggie @dabs9 😂 are you actually it was that a lie? Are you veggie too @LeopardLover? not the time to tell you red meat is BANGING for your lining 😆 that was on the list in my order.
did the acupuncture make you feel just chill? And did you ask her about fertility ones?

@Annapolis35 ah haha can you even imagine a crack addict worrying about too much frickin sugar? I bet that’s why they get knocked up so easily - cuz they’re so bloody chill. X

Don’t eat crunchies for breakfast. That’s the advice of the hour

@GCS34 @dabs9 Making a note! Although Crunchie = chocolate = practically a continental breakfast 😉😋

Yes, I've been living the veggie life for about 7 years! 🌿

@GCS34 @LeopardLover yeah I've been veggie since I was about 10 or something. And my husband is the biggest meat eater around 😂
Totally agree with a crunchie basically being a continental breakfast.. has my full support haha.

@dabs9 CUTE. Did you just decide one day that was it? My husband is the same!! Although he's massively cut down I'd say. He loves seeing his family because they are huge meat eaters 😂 obviously Adolf is a meat eater too ❤️

Well.. my parents stopped us eating meat when we were kids because they couldn't afford it 🥹 and then we started eating meat again but I had a friend who was veggie at school and she totally put me off eating meat again so I went back veggie haha.
I wish I could eat it because it'd make life so much easier but I just can't!! Husband would never turn veggie and meal plans are a nightmare. Do you end up having to cook different things? Or just make a veggie meal and add extra meat for the boys? Lol x

Well meat is SO flippin expensive! So that makes perfect sense. I save a fortune now I don't eat meat 😅 I think it must be hard to go back to it after so long. I went veggie for ethical reasons, but still miss the taste of chorizo 🤣

Well, my husband mostly eats meat for lunch so we can have veggie meals at night 😅 but sometimes he just craves it, so we have the same thing but with a meat / non-meat version!! My son usually eats before us due to when we finish work etc. He loves fish and roasts but my luckily parents live down the road so they mostly feed his salmon / meat addiction 🤣 they are my childcare while I'm working ❤️

What do you all think please

@aimee25 like I said on your other thread, I maybe see an extremely faint shadow but you'll just need to test again in a few more days. Have you not done a new once since the other day?

Am goin to do 1 today

admire yours and @dabs9 commitment to the plant cause. Tbf I don’t eat that much meat myself. I’m a big fish fan mostly. I have often thought about turning, but I’m a bit funny about ultra processed foods so the equivalent veggie version I can’t deal with. So what I do eat meat wise is organic as I’m bit weird about subs.
Check out the pinch of nom recipes / books below. They’re like healthy versions of everyday meals Just done lighter. And theirs a big veggie but in it.

ps HAPPY FRIDAG YA’LLLL xx

@SnookyPook checked your premom App yet for a miraculous change in dates? 😂🤍

@GCS34 haha weeeeeell I'm now 10dpo 🥳 haha. But irrelevant anyway as not testing early.

How are you getting on? X

Haha GOOD! Well done 🌟
im okay - 2 weeks today we go again so enjoying this weekend away at our close friends wedding, and next weekend away at a spa hotel, so 2 weekends and the chance to have a wine and reset and relax, then come back at it hopefully chilled and rejuvenated and ready to make some bebbbeeeeeeezzzz. Xx

@GCS34 ah that sounds like the perfect chilled out couple of weeks! Great that the wedding and spa hotel have fallen in a 'safe' time as well so you can indulge without any guilt or anxiety! Will definitely set you in good stead for trying again next cycle 😊

Haha love that I've got my gold star for not testing early 😀
