TTC Pink February 2014

All these ladies saying they're heavy at 5'6-7" and under 120lbs are kind of freaking me out! I'm 5'6" and 136lbs and feel pretty dang thin. If I was any lighter I wouldn't have a butt or boobs. It's a healthy BMI for my height too. Are we aiming for UNDERweight? My pants are all falling off me at this point as it is!

Nooooo. You want to stay in the normal bmi range. I was on the low end at like 19.2 give or take.

My bmi is 22.2 add everyone is commenting how thin I am! I am 5'2 and 127lbs. I am not the lightest I've ever been as that was for my wedding. Not sure I'll get there again but I'll try if its a bfn this month. I cant imagine how thin id be for a 18/19bmi!

So who's next for testing?

I am 7dpo now. Had an 8 day lp last month so could be out soon! We go away on holiday for a week today so will try add update when I can.

I had a real cheat day yesterday...stopped counting fat at 80g...oh well back on it today x

Heavy FOR ME...I realize I'm still thin! I do have a very delicate frame and carry extra weight poorly, though. I also have almost no muscle at all so it's all fat, especially what I've just gained.

Don't know how i will stay strong on holiday I usually pig out!!

Yeah its right unfortunately. Been tracking cycles with temp for 14 months now.They go between that with the odd 10-13 every fee month. Had blood test and I've low prog and get referral in March if not pg before then. I just live in hope of a longer lp monthly x

Welcome to the group, essnce629, and good luck!

Dreamingofwin, I’m exactly where you are – 5’2”,127lbs. This is the thinnest I’ve been in years! I’ve had to buy all new clothes…which hasn’t been all that bad. Unfortunately, it’s still not near my lowest conception weight, which is probably more like 115, but that was 15 years ago and I doubt I’ll ever see that size again. I’m just focusing on steadily losing weight.

Which I totally failed at this week. Just got back from vacation where I had the best of intentions to stick close to LE, but ended up totally cheating by the last day. Hoping to get back on track this weekend. Stocking up on rice!

Congrats greeneyes!! That is so awesome!! I would be so skeptical if I start spotting too...it's my usual bf AF and I've never had implantation bleeding. But you give me more hope for sure!!!

Sorry I've been MIA (limiting my time online these days) but think I'm in the 2ww now. I should have ovulated around the 19th...This is month 3 for us and I decided not to do opk. Instead we are DTD every 3-4 days. But I am tracking temps and am on cd23 (my avg is 30days) without any significant temp spike yet I've lost 2-3lbs (5'3" 110lbs now) but reeeeally hope that didn't mess up O!

Hoping for lots of bfps for everyone in the 2ww!!

dreaming, did you start taking Vitex again? The only good thing about a short LP is you don't have to wait very long to know if you're pregnant. Do you/will you test early, say at 9DPO if AF hasn't come? That's Monday for you, right? Fx for you.

greeneyes & bethwade, it's my understanding that if you usually spot before AF and it is due to low progesterone, then often you will still spot right after conceiving. I bet that often when people think they have IB, it's actually just spotting from low P. Though of course you could have both...

beth, I am in a similar situation. My cycles are usually 28 days but I have a short LP, often under 10 days. I'm on CD21 and still no temp spike. I'm on my 3rd day of EWCM with HSO cervix (the last two months I had only 24 hours or a bit less of EWCM right on O day). I have intense O pain for a few hours that always coincides perfectly with O, but this month Ive just had 10 days of ovary twinges (I usually only have a day or two) and still no true O pain!

Does anyone think starting on Vitex right when I usually O could be delaying my O? I took my firsr dose on Monday, then when I didn't O I stopped taking it on Tue & Wed, then when I still didn't O I decided to resume it again on Friday/yesterday.

Oh beth, when did you BD (what CD)?

I am worried now about sperm surviving, since I BDed late Wed night before I had any EWCM. If my temp doesn't spike tomorrow, I will definitely BD again then, but does anyone think I should BD tonight? Would that be every 4 days or only 3? Last month I missed O and only managed to BD 12 hours after when I believe I Oed, after my temp had already spiked, too.

Ugh, I'm so sorry u r going thru this too! ( I'm doing a personalized plan bc I have Sjogrens (autoimmune) so I can't eat a ton of girl diet stuff, totally inflames me. AS said to bump up my fat this week to see if it kick starts it... I'm DTD every 3 days bc I need to get pg quickly and get back to my normal diet routine :-/

This is my chart so far this cycle...we are Dtd again tonight!
