I thought I would be really doing my baby a disservice if their birthday was around Xmas but my dad's is December 26th and there's always making a big to do for half birthdays instead. I'd be more worried about flu season. If we have a winter baby we won't be leaving the house for three months lol.
No I grew up in Yorkshire, but think I was very tough when I lived there as we often went out without coats in winter (yes really!), since Ive moved down south Ive become a bit of a wimp lol. I dont mind the cold weather so much as I can put on clothes but when it gets extreme cold and snowing I dont like it. English summers are good because they dont get too hot, when I go abroad and its 30c plus I melt and my brain doesnt work!Quote:

The champagne is on ice for whenever AF comes, who would have thought....Yes we do all seem to have O issues when swaying for pink, I guess we are trying to decline fertility a little in order to sway pink and I guess there is a delicate balance in doing that, we dont know how much decline we will get with any given variable. I blame BCP personally, I really regret going back on it after DS was born.
i am so with you all on the feeling thin. Most of my clothes are all falling off and dont look good at all. I do look healthy and am a healthy weight but the only reason I am so thin is the daily exercise and calorie restriction which isnt natural. The exercise maybe but not the calorie restriction. I enjoy what I am eating but dont enjoy lack of snacking, no breakfast etc. You are right kitkat it really is a distant memory!
Flowergirl - i am not going to ask for clomoid right now, I will try and see if provera kick starts things and if not I guess its the next logical step.
And thanks everyone for your support, it means a lot to be able to fully express things to people that understand. Even though I cant get an attempt in, I will be rooting for you all and hope you get your BFPs soon :)
I'm SO jealous of you ladies getting thin. I'm only 12 lbs down and it's creeping off 1/5th of a lb at a time! And that's with about 1500 calories and an hour of cardio a day!:hair:
I feel like such a dork. My OPK is still negative, but it's getting darker and I'm getting so nervously excited! I think I'm over my cold feet and just ready to get pregnant so I can have some brisket, bacon and corned beef. Ah, to be able to hit the gym hard for only 3-4 days a week instead of just slogging along everyday...
UGH I TOTALLY screwed my diet today and think I am going to O within the week. Not going to stress, not going to stress lol
Hey all Steph can't wait for this to get sorted for you:) lilithwiser sorry the weight is not coming off so fast we are all so different and le affects us in different ways but you've still lost weight and that's the main thing good luck for your attempt !mom to 4 boys I did the same just before O ate breakfast the first in months plus a snack it did not end in a BFP but I did not allow me myself to stress its one slip up in the overall sway no big deal xxxxxx

My diet isn't going too well since my bday. I ended up having 3 pig out days and I've struggled to stay on track since. Sort of lost all motivation for it. I was so strict before too. I am still within limits but high end and for a small lady I should be lower end. I've gained weight too and stopped exercising.
All my symptom spotting has gone and I don't feel preg so expect af either over the weekend of by Monday x
Hi all!
Regarding christmas babies - we have always said that we would try to avoid having a baby around christmas/new year. With our first one we skipped ttc in april so eldest son is born in january. This time though, if our first attempt doesn't work (which I doubt it will), we don't care about having a christmas baby. If cycle continues to be regular next cycle would be a baby at new years eve(!). Not great, but it would probably be more around christmas since both sons are born 5 and 18 days before set date.
We also have several family members born around christmas but I just can't see waiting another month as an alternative now, especially not since swaying.
About diet - mine isn't going very well either. Yesterday was a really bad day. Kids are sick, I was at home and it's just too easy to wanna grab a snack. At work I don't have as much time to even think about snacking or eating, but at home... really hard.
Calculated it all though and it was within limits, even though calories were fairly high, around 1700. My cheats were sweets (swedish fish and marshmallow fluff - had really bad sugar craving!)
Will try to shape up and get some focus again, I haven't even been on the diet so long, I shouldn't be off track yet!
Hoping to see some bfp:s here soon!!
Trust me Lilith, it's not all it's cracked up to be. It's actually really hard being underweight, looking bony and having to still deprive yourself of food and calories. My work provides lunch but because it's often something fatty like fish and chips I've been bringing in my own LE friendly options and the comments I get are so hard. Everyone is saying that I'm fading away to nothing and even probing me as to whether I now have an eating disorder. It's not nice :( my only motivation is my baby girl... XxQuote:

dreaming, i am sure you will be back on track soon. I have 3 pig out days every week, friday to sunday, sometimes I manage OK but most of the time not. Fingers crossed you get a late birthday present in the form of a BFP :)
marika, doesnt sound like you are doing badly at all, the calories are fine and having a few sweets doesnt harm - they dont have the same nutrients as fat plate of chicken.
flowergirl that sounds really hard. People make such stupid comments without thinking. Its nice of your workplace to provide lunch but they should be thinking of their employees health and providing better options. If I was provided with free fish and chips every day or something along those lines, LE diet or not i would probably have their food once or twice a month and bring my own the rest of the time. I get similar comments from friends/DH's family - oh have you lost weight again - are you eating - why have you lost so much weight, what are you doing - do you realise if you want to have a baby you shouldnt lose weight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sometimes I think it is down to jealousy and also some people just like drama. Your work colleagues should not be making you feel uncomfortable at work like that.
I had to buy a new bra today as seriously the bra i bought in november is massive up to my tiny boobs :( I was wearing a 36B and now have a 32C. Have held off buying so now hoping I will get PG soon and have go back up a size again.....
