Batteryhen I hope you won't mind me responding. I have every sympathy with you, both on the weight issues and on the frustration with your body not doing what you want it to.

Seriously, have you tried slimming world? I found it amazingly good, and there were ladies there with a lot of weight to lose - many lost a stone a month, following the plan. It's a diet where you can eat as much of certain foods as you like. There are restrictions on foods, but you can find tasty foods and fill up on them - for example, you could eath three whole chickens on a 'red' day - or twelve jacket spuds on a green day! it's about food combination and honestly, once you get used to it it's incredibly easy, and actually you can make quite tasty stuff! It also works with your metabolism, and honestly, when you get into it, you don't feel like you are denying yourself as you can always feel full.

I hope you don't mind me making this suggestion, and please don't take offense.

I just really feel for you if you are seriously feeling suicidal about all this.

I'm kind of assuming that you will try anything to get to the point where they will help you, so I really do hope this is helpful.

PS: I know how hard you have worked to lose three stone, as well, it's so hard to lose weight, I know from personal experience.

batteryhen · 26/05/2010 21:05

Hi Hairy - I think in your joyous moments - you may have got me mixed up with empty ?? xx

hairytriangle · 26/05/2010 21:05

oh gah, sorry that was meant for empty not Battery. Sorry, very insensitive of me (perhaps my huge hormone drop is doing something to my brain)

hairytriangle · 26/05/2010 21:07

hah cross post Battery but thanks for pointing it out!

Evening all, apologies for not being present and correct this week it's been a bit hectic at work since my return from holiday!

Hopefully & Moofold sorry to hear the RTD has got you both today onwards and upwards girls, positive vibes for you both x

Welcome to TAcrazy sorry you find yourself here however we are a smashing bunch and very supportive and welcoming!

Were's that ViV I've been boobie grouping all day! all your fault woman. x

Terrible news from a good friend at work today, been having heavy painful periods. Been into hospital and found put she has severe endometriosis, a real blow as she wasn't expecting that!

I'm currently in the 2ww, no signs apart from me touching my boobies like some mad woman.

Love to all x

digitalgirl · 26/05/2010 22:23

Good luck egg popping in Germany batteryhen remember you've got up to 5 days after your last shag to ovulate.

empty could you afford to go private? Then you wouldn't have to wait till you've reached nhs 'guidelines'. I'm so sorry you're feeling this way. It sounds like you've already achieved a hell of a lot. It definitely sounds like you need to deal with your anxiety about your situation as the stress and depression can't be helping with weight loss or fertility. Have you thought about acupuncture? Or counselling?

hopefully and moof commiserations to you both. Wine and chocolate may be in order.

Well big drama in the house tonight. DS managed to knock over a couple of glasses from high up and shards of glass went everywhere. In the dinner we'd just finished cooking. In my hand (ouch). And all over the kitchen floor. I reckoned a lapse in the low gi diet was allowed in order for Thai takeaway to rescue the evening.

Still got strange cramps, but am ignoring them. (even though it feels like my failed ovulation did two weekends ago).

clareanna · 26/05/2010 23:00

moof and hopefully big pile of arse. So sorry. moo have an inking I'll be joining you on the short luteal phase this month- we'll get through it together.

hairy hurrah!

Welcome newbies x

am on 1dpo and large spot has arrived - excellent. Been at an awards bash and consoled myself with free champagne. Going to the Satc2 premiere tomorrow night so life isn't too crap... But what to wear...!!!

VivClicquot · 27/05/2010 09:40

Hahaha littlemiss, I think you'll find I've been the epitome of restraint during this 2ww. You won't find me prodding my boobs or googling various non-symptoms, no sirree....

So today is 10dpo and since 8dpo I've been having twinges on the right hand side like someone's stabbing me with a needle.

It's a bit of an anniversary for me today - a year to the day since I got the most amazing shock of my life and found out I was pregnant with my mmc. Sigh.

hopefully - I'm holding your virtual hand as I know you and I are on the same number of cycles so I'm sorry this one wasn't meant to be either. Same for you moo, my lovely.

batteryhen - wishing you godspeed with your anglo-germanic egg dash

emptyshell - my heart aches reading your posts as you just sound so bereft. I hope you're getting lots of love and support at home, and remember we're here to hold your hand too.

Love to everyone else
xxxx

hairytriangle · 27/05/2010 10:29

viv sorry about your anniversary lots of love to you.

I feel shit today - exhausted - think I over did it with an hour or two of retail therapy yesterday!

eighth day of heavy bleeding wish it would stop!

batteryhen · 27/05/2010 11:42

hairy - quick post as I am at work. Has the Dr checked your iron levels? If you are losing so much blood I am surprised you are not anaemic......

Must dash before I get fired !!

hairytriangle · 27/05/2010 12:03

Battery yes And so far so good. Am eating iron rich stuff and feel a bit weak n low so might get it checked again x

hairytriangle · 27/05/2010 12:04

Really bored of bleeding now has not eased up at all

slimyak · 27/05/2010 12:38

Oh boo there seems to be some hard times going on at the moment, but there again isn't there always.

sorry no time for full name check and everything is so complicated.

Wishing everyone some sunny good times what ever point you're at over the bank holiday

I'm still keeping a low profile so moof, thanks for the offer but I'm going to steer clear of the Graduates list for a while. It's one day at a time and as much distraction as possible.

I'll be lurking

lucysnowe · 27/05/2010 13:22

Hi all

What ho littlemiss and viv can we be 2ww buddies? My cycle went well this time - seemingly ovulated and had a smidgen of EWCM - have been re-reading the Taking Charge of your Fertility book and comparing charts. Now am trying not to think of pg symptoms but they are like a zebra, you know, soon as you try not to think about them, you think about them...

VivClicquot · 27/05/2010 14:17

Ha - here's to all zebras, real or otherwise...

digitalgirl · 27/05/2010 16:24

Ha littlemiss and viv I'm only 3dpo and ridiculously aware of every little sensation. Am hoping it's just a good dose of progesterone coursing through my system.

Just found out a friend who has been trying for ages (pcos) for her first is 3 months pregnant. Hooray for her! She's offered me her leftover opks. Have heartily accepted.

WestYorkshireGirl · 27/05/2010 20:00

Hello All

Been completely exhausted this week and going to bed after tea so not been up to MN, but have just caught up on all the news. Hairy It sounds like the saga might nearly be over which is good. Everyone sorry to hear there's been some tough things going on - I hope things improve for you all. I'm sure some other people should join me on the Grads list - I'm getting lovely....

Had some severe pains in my right side very low on Tues and it sent DH into a total meltdown about ectopic pg, but I think I just got up funnily and pulled a muscle. It's so important to be positive so I'm just focusing on that. Going to see mw tomorrow to see if I can get an early scan - anyone know what the chances are or anything I could say to persuade them?

Muser · 27/05/2010 20:06

I'd tell them about the pain WEG, that might help. I'm sure it's not ectopic, but might prompt them to check just in case.

digitalgirl · 27/05/2010 22:06

wyg you could also wave the UK Miscarriage Association leaflet at your mw reminding her that early support from the medical profession (ie an early scan) does actually reduce the chances of another miscarriage.

But exhaustion sounds promising!

Hopefully · 28/05/2010 09:02

Morning! Am feeling a teeny bit more positive today - at least having such a very short cycle last month means that I'm on CD3 now, whereas i was expecting to be on CD28 and awaiting AF. Really really hope that this month is our month.

I'm going to phone doc's and get an appointment as I'm increasingly wondering whether my cervix healed funnily after giving birth to DS (tore it. Nice) and that's causing a problem. Also really need to have a smear test and keep putting it off, so perhaps she can do the whole lot in one nasty go.

We'll probably find out today whether DP's being made redundant. Not pregnant and redundant would be crap!
