Im waiting to hear the long awaited news PoP!!

after almost 6months of swaying without choice Im losing motivation! the thing thats really put me down is puting on the weight! I have cut out breads as much as i could and ive exercised more and still adding it on.. Iv cut the portions down and everything... I feel miserable at the weight gain but its like i have FIRM legs and butt, I know its the squats that have made my glute muscles so firm my butt looks HUGE lol sorry TMI but its all firm not flabby maybe Im just not use to looking like that
lol im at the point where i jsut want to be preggers and So tempted to go for an attempt this month but I dont know if DH would.. but I have learnt not to stress myself nor beat myself up about doing something "wrong" on the diet, I shall be taking it as it comes and want to enjoy TTC.

Anchor and Pom I hope it all goes well for you guys!

afy stay off the scales, if you are firming up it is probably just the added muscle putting weight on you, and that is fantastic for swaying, take measurements instead if you want to keep track. And the bonus to adding muscle is it uses fat for energy so the more muscle you have the more fat you will be burning by doing nothing. Im sure you look great!

Thanks so much Cinss...I just can't wait to finally be pregnant, I feel like this has been forever coming! I started this in August 2011 having my Implanon out and starting sups and diet in Nov 2011 ready for TTC in January. 6 months of TTC with messy cycles and constant BFN's, then taking a break till now, while losing weight, exercising, diet and sups to get ready for take 2. I think I will cry when I finally see that second line.

When you stopped charting did you still do opk? I would be afraid I would miss O if I did nothing at all. I only temped this month so I could check my CBFM was accurate and caught O. Now I know it works and understand when I will O approx after it peaks, I won't be temping again as it messes with my sleep. Might do CBFM and OPK just to be on the safe side, but won't be waking up all night desperate to know what my temp is today.

[Cinss]

No i ditched the opks... You can see my last couple of months here
My Ovulation Chart

I was mainly taking note of cm, as its pretty hard not to really so i just entered that in, dtd when it was ew and bam UTD And it was such an early O for me that cycle, i usually Od around CD17 not CD12!?

And i waited till AF was late to test so it was 24dpo that i saw my +.

[Princess of Pink]

My cycle this month was really weird. Got a +ve opk on CD 14 then a neg on CD 15, then a +ve again on CD16 then neg CD17. But got a peak on CBFM on CD 16 and 17. DTD CD 11, 12, 14, 16 and 17 so hopefully covered all bases there.

Must of tried to O on CD14 but didn't happen.

[KikiCal]

I only use opk but I might stop those after a couple months if bfn. I feel like it adds a huge element of stress for me. I tried temping but forgot every morning until I was walking around!

Afy I have had difficulty with the thought of gaining weight too. I use the app myfitnesspal and track what I eat. That way I stay within the range and it tells me sodium/potassium/protein intake which is nice. I have stepped off the scale too. I just keep working out in hopes to balance things a bit. I'm a little nervous about how I'll feel when summer gets here!

[The Anchor]

YES! I am officially "overweight". And I haven't even been doing full on HE, just trying to keep my blood sugar stable and proteins and carbs and snacks...wait, I guess it IS pretty HE. I have never been this heavy in my life. Not to mention that I put on 18 lbs last year when swaying, but that pg ended up in m/c. I can't afford to take any time off to lose the weight, my age is creeping up on me. My BMI is 26.0!

Thank you so much cinns made me feel alot better. I was feeling so down looking at weight. Iam taking measurements cutting down portions I've already limited breads to minimum. My legs looks huge but due to muscle and I'm not use to it.
I will definitely take on your advice and stay off the scales!! Not long to go till my attempt in April!

You ladies have any advice anything that I should include or remember as my attempt draws nearer?

Lol Anchor but when i looked in the mirror i thought Woahh this is by far the biggest i have ever been my whole life! I love your positive attitude..

if you dont mind me asking anchor what is your height and weight?

Im 5'4 when i concieved my DD i was 127 lbs thats like borderline below average weight for my build and height.
Before my sway i was 138-140 lbs.. and now its creeped upto 173!!!! but i dont feel that big ok maybe i have put some weight on it has to be but Iam taking note for a while and i am trying my level best to eat smarter for past couple months so hopefully it will bring it back down.
