yes so true. As much as I am enjoying what I am eating, its not natural for me to go for long periods without food, I am a snacker!!
I have requested an appointment with the GP at work as I am not able to take time off to go to my own GP. Atomic suggested that it would be best just to get the medication to bring on AF rather than trying vitex, in case I am one of those people that vitex lengthens cycles for, best not to add fuel to the fire.
married, an anniversary weekend sounds like the perfect time to cheat :) must be lovely for your hubby to have 2 brothers as well, if they all get on thats great. Where are you going, is your DH surprising you?
kitkat , I think you have something there lol, with the le diet being the cure for GD, I literally laughed out loud in this quiet office lol.
steph, I hope af does come soon, I am really praying that I get pregnant on the first cycle, I don't know if I could go the entire summer on this diet. Oh and we are going to a place we went to before right after we got married. So that will be nice.
Dh did surprise me and told me that we can go to florida for our family vacation, but that will be right when we are to have our first attempt!
Steph, you work in the medical field?
yes i realised when kitkat replied, how dumb am i lol, lack of snacking has gone to my brain :)
i have a doctors appointment tomorrow morning woohoo. I guess i should take another PG test in the morning to prove I need the medication.... I took one on monday, no idea why of course it was negative!
Thanks for the advice kitkat!
How are things going for you?
lol we are on at the same time, I read that after I had already replied, note to self, read all first before replying lol :)... I edited my last quote to youQuote:

No I dont work in the medical field, I work in HR in a bank and before I went on maternity leave I was in the investment banking arm. Mostly women in HR but the environment was pretty competitive and although I didnt go for politics or competition, its not me, you do have to influence others, and you are constantly taking on challenges, projects etc. No prizes for guessing that mostly boy mums work there lol. Now I am in a different part of the bank, different less challenging role (dont get me started lol)
I know what you mean about not being on the diet all summer. We are going to start having BBQs very soon, all we do when the weather is good is have BBQs. I normally have fish but even so its pretty extreme eating and it will be weird if I dont partake. Although I am so expert at the diet now I can probably make it work....
Hey ladies, married mother you are six feet tall wow amazing!!!! Wish I had not gone so hard on diet to start with thinking I would get instant BFP both boys conceived first time and now gearing up for third attempt with zero Weight to spare ! So upping calories is good for you. February had a massive amount of first time BFPs so I hope you are one of the lucky ones.
Today the before school check lady told me Charlie was going to be six feet tall plus I'm. 5 6 my hubby 5 8 so I was so proud:)
Vacay marriedmum how exciting relax and enjoy it LE will be like second nature by then.
Stephk I work at an art gallery love it been back almost a year now after taking six years off with boys but I do find the juggling hard, married mum what do you do? AF came today I had the heads up so feeling good got weekend away minus boys and house plans to look forward too. Trying to resign myself to the fact it may take longer.
Xxxxx

kitkat sorry to hear about AF. Like you I thought it would be a lot easier than this to get a BFP (last time it took 3 months of perfect timing to catch an egg). I guess it happens when it happens but in the meantime its going to be a hard slog for us all with the delicate balance of not losing too much weight and not being too tempted by lovely food!!!
Working in an art gallery must be lovely, hopefully not too much work stress there?
married, wow 6 feet tall that is amazing for a lady, i feel a short arse now at 5'7" lol
Doctors appt in 30 mins, my test this morning was of course a BFN, so depressing telling me what i already knew! But feeling positive that things will soon be sorted. Bring on the drinking tonight!
just need to come and have a rant somewhere understanding. I saw the work GP, asked for Provera, he said he didnt want to prescribe that without investigating the problem, wanted to refer me to gynacecology. This is through private healthcare as we have insurance. I thought OK fine will try it and with it being private I will at least get an appointment soon. So I called my insurer who will not authorise the appointment, they were so patronising on the phone. So it looks like I am going to have to take time off work to go and see my NHS doctor for the medication I need, this is so ridiculous! I am actually sat at my desk now in tears I am so sick of this. I dont even want the stupid private appointment I just want to take this medication and bring back my periods :(
Steph, I am so sorry, that sucks. I wish I could help in some way. Did they at least give you a reason why they don't want to authorize the appointment? Have you ever looked into Lydia Pinkham? It's a over the counter supplement used to regulate periods.
And yes being 6ft tall used to be annoying now I love it. Believe it or not I love wearing heels and my husband is only 5ft7in. lol. He likes when I wear them too.
Kitkat I hope that you catch an egg soon. Sorry af came. Working in an art gallery sounds like it would be so much fun!
Kitkat I work in the medical field. I work for a Medical school/hospital doing research for infectious diseases (some research studies I work in the lab and see patients and other studies I just see patients).
I do not recommend Lydia Pinkham for anyone. There is stuff in it that may sway blue and other stuff that is not safe for people who are TTC. Save it for menopause.
the health insurance we have doesnt cover fertility treatment, I should have known that really. To be honest I am kicking myself now for not refusing this in the doctors but I only have half a brain now in the morning with no breakfast (even though I must say how much easier it gets as time goes on not to eat and not to be moody through not eating). The doctor told me to say nothing about TTC and this should have set off alarm bells and I should have insisted on the prescription....anyway whats done is done, I now have to wait and see the NHS doctor on thursday. I will be praying that they see sense, want to get me out of their surgery and just write the damn prescription!
You guys sound like you have such cool jobs!
Married, thank you for your suggestion, I hadnt heard of it and Atomic - thank you for sharing your knowledge on it. I will wait for the doctor to prescribe something.
I didn't know that, I had just heard about it in passing, thanks for that I won't mention it again lol :)Quote:

UK doctors generally don't like to prescribe or refer, generally just don't want to help! Anyway I will try not to dwell now just make sure I don't take no for an answer on Thursday. Wow does a medical background run in the family married, must be really interesting.
DH almost home then it's cosmopolitan time!! May as well make the most...
Hope you enjoyed those cosmos Steph!! And I feel for you being at mercy of doctors!! I lived in UK for three years so I remember the nhs health system a little and what I do remember is they have alot of patients to see so be demanding :) they will give it to you way quicker or your other strategy be upset hope both works. I like you would just want the medication so you can move on to positive attempts. I felt for you frustrated and crying at work :)
Art gallery is not really stressful until we have big exhibitions then it can be one in a week another in November. I do buying/product development/management of our shop and I love it!!
Married mum your job sounds really interesting and like you would have to be very clever!
Have a good weekend guys off to park with my boys xxx

Steph that's not fun, dealing with the docs that is, I hope you enjoyed your cosmos.
Kitkat, your job sounds like fun! Hope you had a great time at the park!
I have totally over indulged this weekend!!! Oh well be better tomorrow..... Also been feeling on the cliff edge of AF coming and am very surprised it's not here. Anyway hope you had nice weekends.
Hey guys Steph hope she comes anyday now Thursday if not for your appointment? Good luck ! Lovely sunny weekend we went to a farmers market where they had art and craft which the boys loved! Busy busy at work which takes my mind off all this swaying bizz also indulged in a smashing ginger slice at sports night totally worth it !!! How about you both? Xxx

sounds great Kitkat. I imagine farmers markets are great to take kids to and they can run around :) it has been sunny here too but cold. We had a week of warmth and thats it lol
I had meat and fat all weekend, ate frequently and not very LE style at all apart from managing to skip breakfast and do some exercise!! Well that is what weekends are for to be honest, I am not going to deny myself 7 days a week. AF did not come which I am pretty surprised about as it felt so close, had a BFN yesterday as well, the only reason I tested was due to the drinking. I dont feel AF like at all today but as you say, doctors appointment around the corner.
Its great to be busy at work and in general really otherwise yes, you do end up thinking too much.
Hey there ladies! Glad you had fun kitkat, sounds like it was a great weekend farmers markets are great! We have them here at work, but they aren't fun, it's a medical school/hospital campus so they just come and set for a few hours and then leave lol.
Steph, I totally understand lol. We had ladies night Saturday night so I kind of went over board but oh well. Hoping af comes for you by Thursday that way you won't have to deal with the doctor.
