mocha ~ :fx: for you!!!! :) :)
zanacal ~ I am feeling the same way!! My older two (6 and almost 4) have been :fight: allllll day!! I am feeling so irritated and like a totally bad mom!!! My oldest starts first grade in less than a week and I am almost looking forward to it. :( It will be the first time he is away all day.
Hang in there!!! You are soooo close to your attempt!! :) I am then about one week or so behind you for my first attempt! I swear my days are going soooooo low right now!!!
Thanks Rachel, hugs to you too. Can you believe I looked at your profile pic earlier and cried - it's a pink flower ffs!! Oh well, chewing gum furiously to avoid the temptation of eating a big cheese & pickle sandwich right now :D
Good Luck Mocha, I hope this is your month! (mine too, hehe) I know what you guys mean about feeling down. I have been like tht alot lately. Questioning timing and second guessing everything. Wondering what am I doing....scared of the gender disappointment....I don't know just scared overall. Swaying is so stressful. Gender envy, desire, and disappointment is exhausting. Family pressure is crazy! My DH's mom has had 4 grandson's in a row and no granddaughters except for step-granddaughters (which she treats amazing), she just really wants a girl so I feel the pressure of not only my own gender desire and potential gender disappointment but hers too!
Emmy I hope you can make your mother in law happy very soon :)
Zanacal, I´m sorry you´re feeling that way, hoping you´re doing better today.
What you´re describing is exactly how I felt a week ago, I would blow up for the smallest things Ds1 would do or say..I think the kids being at home for school holiday makes it a lot harder now to stick to the diet. Skipping breakfast, not snacking is so much easier if you have to go out mornings.
I have a real coffee now half afternoons and that reaaally helps a lot for my mood. Plus I let them play a lot in the garden with water without worrying things get wet, so I can relax and read magazines for a little while.
I actually ate breakfast the past couple of days because of my guests :oops:, but it was fine. I ate all carbs and only the protein that´s in bread, and i could really feel my blood sugar crash after a couple of hours.
Aww zanacal!!! :( I hope you are having a good day today!!! :) :)Quote:

Thanks all. The weather was awful yesterday, it rained constantly, I'm sure getting outside would have helped!
I ended up having a big food blow-out and then of course went to bed feeling terrible (and sick!) but today I'm cutting right back and what's done is done (or eaten!). I feel yucky still though, sick all day and like I've been kicked in the tummy. If we had been trying to get pregnant then I would be expecting a BFP (I'm not btw and I know because we didn't DTD unprotected and I took a test anyway!). My hair is also falling out today - definitely some weird hormonal stuff going on which I'm going to ask AS about.
Hello everyone!!!
I'm back from my Hols and there are solo many posts and new people!!! I'll have to catch up over time but the one thing I did notice is doulamama's news, omg!!!!! I can't believe it!!! Congratulations to you, dm!! I think that little bean really wanted to make it's way to you! I had a fantastic holiday and we had no internet access so a welcome break from swaying madness! I've had a really good think about every whilst I was away for a numberr of reasons which I'll go in to later but the main one is that I didn't ovulate this month, my temps never rose and although I wasn't reliably temping I know my usual cover line and it didn't go over it and the research I've done says my temp was not high enough to ovulate. Basically I think I've become too thin on this diet and my body is no long working properly. Obviously this had really worried me and scared me that I may not be able to have ANY other baby if I continue to deny my body. So on holiday I did skip breakfast but other than that I was pretty relaxed, we ate out every night and I really enjoyed pizza, pasta, garlic bread, fish and chips - it was a so good to eat real food! I have only put on 2 lbs so I don't know if I've done enough to ovulate next month but I'm going to carry on eating mo normally. Also met a couple who tried for 10 years for baby no 3 after 2 normal pregnancies and this really shocked me. I don't know if they swayed but they had boy no 3 after their long wait! The other reason I decided I needed to change something was the worry I'm causing my family who have no idea why I've had such a drastic weight loss. Lots of my mum's friends are expressing their concern to her too. Sorry that's a bit of a depressing return post!! Looking forward to catching up with all of you!
Zanacal, sorry lots of rubbish stuff is happening to you. Just to let you know I had terrible pms with bites and I've never really had it before. This month having taken it every day I didn't have pms. I also had a phase of being mummy from hell, food really affects your mood, fx for a first month bfp for you!!! hope you're feeling better today, x
