Uk ladies

Speak to doc about some progesterone supplements? I understand that these help to lengthen you LP?

Thanks, I'm going to see what happens over the next couple if cycles, I don't want to take anything if it's going to sort itself out.

Friend of ours due same time I was mc. She was 17 wks, has 3 girls, this one was a boy. She lost one at 13wks a few years ago and it took her this long to try again. It's just not fair..

Such sad news babybeaublue. Life just isn't fair to good people at times xx

Is anyone going to see Dr Potter talk in London on Wednesday?

Not me.
How's everyone doing?

I'm going weezie, some other UK ladies on the HT private board are also going.

@ MOB, have you tried vitex Hun? This can help lengthen LPD and is recommended for a pink sway :) I know it can cause ov to be delayed and messed with some people's cycles but I felt great on it. Also it used to be called 'chaste berry' and some people believed it was a 'natural' way to prevent pregnancy so might stop some peeps falling pg, but might be worth a try? Xx

I'm not sure, I'm still bfing at night so always worry about what's safe

Ah ok, I didn't realise you were still bf'ing. Might be worth asking atomic if it is ok in one of the ttc girl forums (but I imagine the answer will be no). The bf'ing could cause the LPD (?). My NCT mummy friend was struggling to fall pg (I'm not sure she was still bf'ing her DS but her issue was that she wasn't ov'ing) and she had fertility accupancture and bam, she had her dd 2 months ago :) x x

Yeah I had the same issue last time while breastfeeding but was hoping the fact I'm only partially breastfeeding would make a difference. I've only had 2 full cycles so could also just be that everything needs to settle down. My previous cycle could possibly have only been a 4 day lp so I'm just going to see what happens.

Well I've started exercising doing wii fit cardio exercises for an hour or more a day plus have started tracking what I eat on my fitness pal. I'm doing it all pretty loosely at mo as hubby is still slightly against another baby but is also coming around to the idea. We are also still mid house renovation/house move so defo no plans yet but I've noticed hubby getting a bit lazy with protection recently so have decided to make the changes just in case!! I've not cut out meat yet but am planning on becoming a vegetarian but want to get used to heating just around 1500cals first. Have been so good with no snacking though! Never thought I had that will power in me!! Lol! Just hope I'm not on the exercise too long before we do actually try if we do!!!

Well done foxy, the hardest part for me has been no snacking, and then not eating a massive meal in the evening because I haven't snacked all day lol
I've had a couple of bad days and I did consider just taking a break with the school holidays here, but I've decided I'm going to stick as closely to the diet as possible and then restart the exercise in September. With my cycle not cooperating ATM I think a break won't do much harm. It may even help if I'm not putting my body through too much.

Yes agree you need to let your body get back to normal and a break in exercise will probably help! Well done for sticking to the diet though! Think it's defo the hardest bit especially with the exercise!! Hey a couple of bad days are only cheat days and they are recommended!!
We went to legoland at the weekend so didn't count calories then and totally enjoyed my cheat days! Think the chocolate fudge cake alone was my days calorie allowance! Lol!
Have been good since I got home but really want to cut out meat and fish which we tend to eat a lot of but know if I say to DH why I'm cutting out hell just start moaning again about how he's done with sleepless nights blah blah and can't be bothered to listen it that right now lol!
To be fair to him he has said he knows how much it means to me and because he loves me he can see himself caving to give me what I won't but he doesn't believe we have any chance at a girl.....maybe we don't but we can't afford ht and if it's boy no 3 for us then he will be meant to be and at least I can say I tried and gave it my all iykwim? No way would he give in to a fourth as much as I'd love to! lol!

Yeah I know what you mean I just want to say I tried something different

Sounds really good for pink foxy! Hope boys enjoyed Legoland ��

Aw thanks sweet! Glad I read this as was just about to tuck into the boys left over scrambled eggs lol that gave me the willpòwer and reminded me why I'm doing it! Lol!
Yes they loved the legoland Monday was sooo much buster than Sunday thought it'd be the other way round but seems like a lot of schools tagged inset days onto the end of the sumner term! Still nice to do as we're not going away this year so was a nice break. Totally worth it just for the chocolate fudge cake though, lol!

There isn't much that isn't worth it for chocolate fudge cake lol

Lol couldn't agree more! Lol

Today is a good day. Today I feel happy and relaxed and like things are falling into place. Today I feel satisfied and like the lucky person that I am, I have 4 healthy, mostly happy (lol) children. Who cares that they are all boys?? Not me! Today I feel like I could be happy with 5 boys, in fact today I feel like if I never am lucky enough to get another bfp I could move on and be happy with my all boy family. I mean I'll have to do it at some point anyway right?
And today I have managed to eat according to the diet with out even thinking about it! It's so much easier when it doesn't matter. When I'm feeling really down about it I just want that huge slab of chocolate cake and to constantly munch all day, and it's hard not to do that because I feel like all the struggling is in vain anyway. When it doesn't matter that much it suddenly becomes easy.

Good on you and it must be the sun shining as I felt the same today! It's been a good day works been pretty boring but hey at least I'm lucky enough to have a job and a beautiful healthy family! The house is finally coming together and I'm slowly beginning to understand the calorie/fat intake and went to tesco today and got some fab low cal low fat food so hopefully will be able to rustle up some yummy food during the week.
Also bought some quorn burgers which are nice, think they're prob more high on the protein then what's ideal but figured it's one way of slowly cutting out the meat!

As long as protein is with in the limits then it'll be fine. And you could always make sure the protein in the other food you eat is lower over that day so it balances out


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Or even if you go a bit over one day it won't matter too much now and then


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's what I thought I'm just determined not to stress over it. Finding it hard to keep my fat down but after buying some low fat food that is actually easier than I thought. I think I'll harm my sway more stressing over it than if I actually go over it. Think just longs I stick to the cals which Im doing 1500 a day then going a little over the fat or protein every so often or more often than not lol as the case may be May not be a problem
Annoyed today though someone at work bought me a box of chocs to say thanks for helping them and when I got in from work today DH has eaten them all!! I mean not even saved me one! I know I shouldn't be this pissed off about it but I'm really upset!! Thing is I'm so below on my cals today as dinner just went tits up, not even sure why and so thought I'd make them up with a couple of chocs and there's seriously none left!! So angry! He's offered to buy me more but seen as I've been paid and he hasn't and the money hell use will be my wages no point as I'm buying them for myself iykwim? Lol!
Yes I know how crazy I sound but it's stolen chocolate people!!! lol

My dh wouldn't dare touch my chocolate ha ha
No I'm lucky he isn't a chocolates person do if he did he'd eat like 1 or 2 and that would be it. But I do get your point, it's not the same buying them for yourself. I'm mainly concentrating on cals too. Although I have switched to lower fat on some products and I figure with out my usual snacking I'm getting much less on the day front anyway. And lowering protein where I can too.
Since I found the list of grade a,b,c,d foods I've found it much easier. And with just 2-3 meals a day I can get in or under the cals. If I'm going to go wrong it will be dinner. Like Tuesday ds2 has requested tacos (thanks Lego movie and taco Tuesdays) so that is mainly meat. I'll allow myself that extra meat that day, a lot if this weeks meals either have no meat or I'm able to discreetly eat less meat than I usually would. But it's so high in everything and I can't stop till I'm stuffed. I feel like I'm having a cheat every week and like that is too often. I guess it isn't a bad thing that my cycles still messed up.

Lol I am still so angry at him think it's just me relying on them to bring my totals up that annoyed me more! Lol! Also was annoyed as had inky done 20 mins on wii fit when he was yelling at me to help as he can't do donned by himself and look after the boys! Mmmm wonder how I do it everyday!
I think you're doing fab! You've done so well to cut out snacking I'm sure meat one day a week isn't going to ruin everything! Am sure there are billions of girl mums out there who have taco Tuesdays! lol!
Have your cycles still not returned to normal? That's pants still means to can enjoy those tacos even more without feeling guilty! Lol!

Yeah I get annoyed when dh 'can't do everything' and it's like 2 things. I mean he is pretty good and I shouldn't complain cos I have friends who's dh won't lift a finger to help but today he was upstairs playing Lego with ds3. I has ds1 moaning at me because he wanted to play on the playstation but they have been given homework for over the holidays. There's an a4 sheet in their books with 5 columns and they have to do 1 task from each column so we said if they do one each Sunday then it's not loads all in one go and they'll soon get through it. But no games till that homework is done on the Sunday. He didn't want to do the homework. But he kept calling me from the front room. Ds 2 was in the dining room doing the home work. But kept calling me to tell me that the laptop had gone wrong or ask how to pronounce something (homework he chose was to find out how to say hello in 10 different languages, so he was using an online translator) and the ds4 is still hardly sleeping with the heat and he is usually really happy but this morning it was all too much and I couldn't put him down so was running from room to room with him on my hip grizzling and sinking his teeth into my shoulder every so often. While trying to get the general day to day stuff done. Then when dh was asked to find something he said "I just wanted 1 day when I didn't have to run around and do loads of stuff and could just relax before I'm back to work tomorrow" gee wouldn't that be nice!
Sounds like a mad house this morning but it honestly isn't that bad, or maybe I'm just used to it lol and it isn't always like that. This afternoon it was much cooler and ds1 and 2 went outside with a ball, dh played playmobil upstairs with ds3 and ds4 finally had a decent nap (2 hours) and as he fell asleep in my I had no choice but to sit and watch friends the entire time lol
My last cycle af arrive at 7dpo. I'm now on cd12. I'm not sure what's going to happen yet as I seem to be getting ready to O but I geared up to O a few times before eventually Oing on like cd32 last cycle so we shall see.

Argh you've just described my DH!! Lol! I shouldn't complain as you say as he is good in general and sooo much better than some of my friends DH's but honestly men really can't multi task!! He was the same as I had work today and he had his ds from previous marriage today too so all three boys and obviously that was too Much! Thing is he moaned that he was stuck indoors as too much hassle to go out which surprised me as usually he's an up and out person! So I suggested he go to an out door event that was on in the next town. He sake the boys if they wanted to go and they didn't so he didn't go! The. Moaned about it when I got home! I told him he's the adult he shouldn't let them dictate!! If he wants to go out then go out!! Lol! Men!!
I try not to moan too often as I know he's good and he's so hands on with the boys but it was just frustrating that I always let him go for a run etc no problem but all of a sudden he can't handle it when I'm in the next room exercising!! Ah well I'm sure tomorrow will be a better day! Lol
Ah agree with friends no matter what if nothing is on friends is fab god knows how many times I've seen them but they are still so funny!! Love it! Glad you took time out today for you too!
Oh hopefully you are o'ing soon! So hard when we just want our bodies to do what it's supposed to be doing and it's not!! Gah! Lol

I'm trying to just relax and go with it. I had the same problem last time and I keep telling myself if I hadn't then might have fallen pregnant sooner and would have had ds4. Although I don't want it to take that long again I try to tell myself that it's ok cos I'll get who I'm meant to get, when I'm meant to get him/her.
I have to give him credit. And be extra nice as I haven't yet told him that I've been invited to my friends 40th, in York, we live in kent so it will mean staying over night so he will have all 4 practically all weekend. It's not till February though so ds4 will be about 16 months.

Oh yes you need to stay in his good books! Lol! But then think you'll deserve a good weekend away even if you are preggers by then you'll at least be able to relax!
Yes think relaxing is the best way with it all! Think well all just send ourselves stir crazy otherwise! Lol

Yeah your right we'd all be completely mad if we did stress over it all. Didn't really do me any good last time anyway lol
Yeah I'm hoping that I'll be at that nice in between stage of pregnancy by feb, when the sickness is over and you have a manageable sized bump and can feel kicks etc but haven't gotten uncomfortable. It's going to be a surprise birthday dinner rather than a party. She's expecting to just go for a meal with her hubby and when she gets there a load of her friends will be sat there waiting at the table, so won't have to worry about keeping up with everyone else anyway. Then again might but be pregnant at all lol
I tried to take a photo earlier and my phone said my memory was too full. I've just spent an hour deleting a load of photos, I've had the phone since September and there were 4800 photos on it! Got it down to just over 1600. They are all on the laptop anyway and I have ally favourites printed out too. There were still bump pics and teeny newborn ds4 pictures. And the change in the bigger ones in less than a year is mad. Their faces are not as round now as they were then, they look older (lol) ds3 has lost his toddler cheeks and has a little boy face now.

Aw a surprise meal sounds wonderful! Yes hopefully you will be pregnant by then and in the lovely stages! Oh how exciting as you say so much changes in less than a year so you never know....
Aaaw their little faces! It's scary isn't it how much they change! I noticed that with ds1! His nursery pic is so much different from his reception pic and that's on,y a tears difference! He just looks older and wiser in his reception one! Lol! Think school really makes them grow up fast!!

They do change so much in such a short space of time. The bump pics and pics of ds4 as a newborn made me so much more broody lol

Lol I know waft you mean I'm on mega broody alert already and anything baby related especial pics of my two sends me crazy! Lol

I was going to dh "aww loooooook!" I've got that time hop app and that's bad enough. Today's were pictures from a trip to the zoo 3 years ago when they were 5, 3 and 1.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Aw cute! I keep meaning to die load the time hop app! I must do it! Live reminiscing! Bet it'll make me even more broody though! Lol! If that's even possible! Lol!

Yeah it doesn't help the broodiness.
