Dreaming Pink Due Date Group: TTC and Beyond

[I Love Ladybugs]

Charlee....what happened to your ankle initially? There is a part of me that says "eat for two"....and the other recommends runnng as much as I can! I am making effort today in just making healthy food choices and not eating just because. I am definitely there for the losing the baby weight...this gaining is scary!!

TTCand beyond could turn into a weight loss group in the new year!

I am still 10kg under my normal adult weight so am eating for England and Spain! All that time on the LE diet has made me appreciate food much more. I am. Trying to make sure I eat good food with lots of nutrients but am not thinking about calories in the slightest. I probably should be more careful as I am not naturally a skinny minny but cake tastes sooo good

Emily, I am absolutely going crazy for cake at the moment. Like I could have a slice or something every day.

I liked this part...

Trying to make sure I eat good food with lots of nutrients..[...]..but cake tastes sooo good

And I can certainly see this thread turning into a weight-loss thread in the New Year.

Now you are making me feel guilty - is a slice of cake a day not normal? I have had that everyday my entire life except for the time on the LE diet. Today was a rich chocolate cake /dessert with raspberries on top. Will try and post it here as it is sooooo easy and yummy.

Fertility Friend finally decided to give me crosshairs! I went from thinking I had possibly not yet ovulated this month to being 6DPO. LOL! This will make for a short 2WW if it is correct! (I posted this on Longtermers thread too, so sorry for the double post for those who follow both.) I am excited and feel like there may be a bit of hope this month after all!

[GeCon]

Woohoo for being 6DPO already, TTCPink. Fingers crossed this is your month.

And so the ranting begins.. As you know I am an "ex HT, two failed attempts" kinda-girl. I´m desperate for a girl, and now that I am finally pregnant I can hardly handle the pressure. I know it will be ok when he arrives and I will love him as I do DS1 and DS2, but as DH wont have any more babies I will be out of the game.. Want to spend the next 10 weeks happily fantasizing about "her" room and her clothes and all the girly stuff we will be doing together when the boys are out doing their boring boy stuff, but I´m afraid I´m going to make it all the worse for myself. It´s so worth ruining my career for a girl, not so for a boy, and that makes me feel like sh*.. Such a "make or break" situation!! Charlee: I think you hae a wonderful attitude, I wish I could do the same when my day arrives in the end of august...
I wish we all could meet...

Going to dr on friday to confirm and be sent to hospital to rule out XU pregnancy as my first was in my left fallopian tube..

Wow, just catching up with this weekend's news!

As I've said on other threads Charlee, I'm so happy that your little one is doing well but am so so sorry that your dream of a dd has been crushed this time around. It's so unfair, but this little man is so special, determined and will steal your heart!

Ladybugs, that's fantastic news about hearing your LO's heartbeat. Your intuition is very good, but it still must've been such a relief for you.

Congrats on your BFP Mathilde! I hope that this is the end of a very long road for you and heralds the start of an exciting *pink!* chapter for you.

Bunnywabbit, how are you? What cd are you on now? I really hope that this month brings you a sticky pink BFP!

Emily, look after yourself and no more lugging DS2 up the stairs in his buggy!! Hope you're feeling better soon. That's rubbish about not being able to getting anyone to mind him for you during your scan. I hope something turns up before Friday and DH gets to come in with you. Could you get ds2 to fall asleep in his buggy beforehand and wheel him quietly into the corner of the room?!!

Cagirl, what wonderful news about your betas!! It must be great to know that they're rising really well.

3boys, urgh it sounds like you've had such a rough week. Glad to hear that you're coming out the other side of it now, but I really feel for your poor ds1. Is he on antibiotics for the infection? Glad you heard a great HB, I'm hoping for the same when I have my consultant appt tomorrow.

Gecon, how are you feeling about things now? Hope you're keeping well.

Niva, I hope you have great results very soon!

Ladybugs, I've just started doing antenatal yoga (following a DVD) and it's fantastic. Would you consider something like that at all? It may be kinder to your knee and still give you the stress outlet that you need. Look after yourself

Woohoo for being 6DPO already, TTCPink. Fingers crossed this is your month.

^^^^ what she said!! I know I commented on this on the other thread but I'm here as your personal cheerleader, lol!!
Go TTCPink!!
