Tonight for my third meal aka night snack, I was just going to have some grapes and raspberries... but then my husband opened a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos! At first I measured out 30g worth, which is like a little packet size amount... but then I probably ate double. Couldn't help it. :/
My totals are still well within LE ranges, just not ranges I would lose weight with. (1,603cal, 35g fat, 32g protein).... but I still feel SOOO guilty and so doomed. I told my husband we were having a Dorito boy.
But then again... it wasn't like it was a cheesey, beany, bowl of chilli or anything... it was just Doritos! :/
*thinks happy thoughts, thinks happy thoughts*
suregena, I used soy this month, too, and had several surges before I finally ovulated. Lots and lots of ewcm, several temp dips as if I'd o'd, etc. I understand how frustrating it is! Hang in there!
Tons of girls ate conceived with no change in diet so don't give yourself a hard time suregena! I'm just as bad as you, just can't help myself, I try so hard to be good, but so often I have! Fries are my worst enemy, and biscuits and crisps!
I've ordered some soy for next month, I have read so so so many success stories on the net about women who conceive on soy straight away after having been ttc for super long! Here's hoping it does the trick for us all :)

Hey girls,
Can I join?
1DPO today... FX this is it. I am well fed up of dieting! I have been mainly on IG site, but this cycle have been trying to broaden my sway with oth ideas, so I have been looking at GD.
Good luck to you all!! X
We're glad you're here, Maple! Welcome to the 2ww!
I wish I had started temping again 'cause I have no idea whats going on! My 3rd BFN this am with FRER!!! I swear I see something but it's just my mind playing tricks on me!!!!
So strange! Maybe there is a line there! I bet you could still get some kind of idea if your temps are high or low if you took a reading tomorrow AM. My cover line usually stays around the same temp each month. Fingers crossed!!!Quote:

Krazy, still holding out hope for you!! I agree, you should try taking your temp tomorrow.
And Houston, we have a problem. I bought 5 pregnancy tests at the dollar store today. I figured that it would give me 5 days to give in to my temptation to POAS. (Now I'm sorry I didn't buy a few more...although, I am not gonna lie, it was a little embarrassing buying so many. LOL)
It was negative anyway...which I knew it would be, since it's still very early.
LMAO!!!!! You sound like me! I HATE going into stores and buying pregnancy tests...especially with 2 little ones in tow. I am only on CD5 and I have ordered 3 CB digital tests, I have 1 FRER test left, and I am plotting a trip to the dollar store when the babysitter gets back with the kids. I vow to only buy 3....Quote:

It is like a curse and a blessing! The POAS drawer calls my name as soon as FF gives me crosshairs! I am already needing my next POAS fix and put it on the calendar when to take my OPKs. I want to start using them soon, but I only have 7 so I have to be strategic!!
LOL!!! I know what you mean, Shell!! My middle son came in and asked me how you would know if a woman was pregnant. I'm pretty sure he went into my bathroom (I'm the only one who uses the master bath, so it's just my stuff in there) I need to do better about hiding my stuff. Anyway, I asked him where he got that from?! And why he was asking! And he said, "Well, you know mom....when I'm older and married, how am I gonna know if my wife is pregnant?" I said, "The doctor will tell her." And about an hour later, the color came back to my face :) LOL!!!
I started to buy some online last night...I think I will. I just thought that by the time they get here, I'll be able to use an FRER anyway, but maybe not. Plus, the ones I found on ebay last night were 10miu sensitivity...the dollar store tests are 25. LOL...Oh man...I am so pathetic.
Oh man Beadin...that is hilarious! I just have to worry about my 2 yr old coming in when I am bent over the counter staring at a test..."Maaaa what's that?" is all I get. I just say a test. He says, "oh" and walks away. LOL!!!
LOL!!! That totally cracks me up, NC!!!! I love it!!!
What are we gonna do when we all get pregnant and don't have to pee on sticks anymore??? LOL
Having all kinds of twinges and shooty pains today. My left lower pelvic/hip area has felt like I've pulled a muscle all day! I wonder if I have bigger egg/s on that side or something?
You just come here and stalk the ttc boards and cheer others on:) cause its hard to not come on here!!(for me anyways!!!)
Thanks Coocoo!! :)
Suregena, that's how I've been feeling...twinges and cramps on my left side and now just a dull fullness in my pelvic region. I REALLY hope this means something.
Are you waiting to O?
Even though my cycle is going to be long again... at least my temps aren't sort of all over the place and fairly consistant.
Oh no, I'm sorry...I'm 6 or 7 (depending on who you believe) dpo.
I hope this is your body gearing up, though. I really, REALLY hope this is it for you.
Me too... I have 2 weeks I need to ovulate within... because I'm off the diet starting August 1st because I'm going to Berlin!
If I don't get pregnant this cycle, I'll be skipping the next cycle because no doubt I'll gain my weight back while in Germany... Haha.
LOL!! I hear you!! I would love to go to Germany and I can only imagine the food! I was in love when we ate at the Germany pavilion in Epcot in Disney World. LOL.
They have the most vegetarian and vegan restraunts in the world... or Europe... can't remember which it is... but me and my vegetarian hubby are super spoiled there! And it's super child friendly, oddly. We were there three days last year and three days was not enough! :D yummyummyummy. My son was conceived while on vacation in Belgium in 2009........ hence me taking a break TTC if I'm not pregnant this cycle! Haha!
suregena, I didn't know that about Germany! I had some really strong O twinges/pressure right before I O'd this month. It has definitely been a different cycle than my non-soy ones... my temps overall have been higher, so I wonder if I will have a better lp this month? I hope your egg gets released soon!
Ladies, I am awful about the tests. I always say I'll wait, but then I start testing at 7 dpo, and THEN when it gets closer to the end of my cycle and I'm still getting those stark white tests, I line up three or four to dip in a cup just in case it's the test's fault. :o
Hi Ladies
I am 7 dpo and I am feeling normal pre period breast pain so am thinking I have not done it this month, sad but I will keep on trying, good luck to you all x
Missgozo...it's still early!!! For my first DS, I had no symptoms at all. In fact, I think I took 6 tests cause I didn't believe I was pregnant. LOL.
I am so bad too! I went to the dollar store to pick up some pregnancy tests...for my stash...and I walked out with 3 preg tests, 3 OPKs, pink ribbon (don't ask), and a lavender aroma ball. :hide:
LOL!!!! NC...I am loving it!!! I really did laugh outloud!!!
My 2 year old...."Maaaa what that smell (as he holds his nose)."
Nothing goes unnoticed in my house. My 4 year old grabbed my receipt and gave it to DH. DH looks at the receipt and the ribbon and officially thinks I have lost my mind. Then in the background the sense and spray lavender scent goes off and I took off running before anyone could ask!!!!!!
And....I am about to decorate my wooden spoon and paint my nails before DH gets back from the gym. :suprise:
Hahahahaha!!!! You are killing me, girl!!!!
surgena...it looks like you may O in the next day or two in the afternoon from about 12-7pm. Watch and wait..because it looks like you have a fast surge too according to your chart... : ) I say tomorrow or Thursday.
NC, you are hilarious!
Humor when TTC is a MUST to stay sane!
Good gracious...ain't that the truth!!! ;)
One OPK test left... after 44 neg tests. Wow. I'm never buying them ever again! £30 down the drain.
My weight is also up by a pound this morning?! I feel so defeated now. My weight keeps bouncing around 114 - 116 lbs and my sensible goal was 110. I've got nowhere near that and without drastically decreasing my calories, I doubt I will. I wonder why it was such a breeze losing weight the first time I tried to sway around Christmas and this time it's so hard? :(
Hopefully that's not make or break for me because I'm feeling really discouraged this morning.
Is weight gain a sign of upcoming ovulation? I still am having that sore achey spot near my left side near pubic bone and sporadic twinges... and last I checked yesterday, though not yet this morning, my cervical position was highish. Trying to be hopeful.
with regards to your weight - it could be that your body has gone into 'starvation' mode (thats not the right term for it, but i can't remember what the proper word is)Quote:

I have heard that happen to people when they go on a drastic diet to lose more weight then they should, they eat much less then they should, shed some weight, then fast forward a couple of weeks/month and all they have to do is look at an apple and gain a kilo...
i could be wrong, thats just my guess...
I know that i personally lost a ton of weight when i first started swaying, and now, no matter how little i eat, i just can't lose any more, nor can i lose the little bits that i put on.
suregena - i just had another random thought.
Was it you who said that your cycles are normal when you are not swaying? In which case you would be o-ing normally / on the average day range ??
Is it possible that maybe your body does this delayed o when swaying because you are not eating enough?
I mean i know you are probably sticking between 1200-1500 calls per day, but maybe this is not enough for your body? Maybe yours needs more?
I know women struggle with o if they are dieting heavily or are losing too much weight..
Could it be that when you do finally ovulate whilst swaying its because you have loosened your diet a bit and are having more 'cheats' therefore more calls, so your body finally o's ??
i could be well off the mark, it was just a random thought and i thought i would share
