♥ JULY 2011 TTC Boy Chit Chat Thread ♥

I think I am going to have some time off... I am feeling AWFUL.. I am SO FAT and UGLY at least this is how I feel
I weighed today and a 74.6 :O
I used to weigh 60kilos at the very most!!
I want to take some time out to focus of myself and my family than obsessing over "swaying"... would like to drop a few kilos to put me at least under the 70 kilo mark.
I'm going to get a new plan in action with possibly LESS supps this time! And I don't think I will bother will charting next time, it goes to show my last cycle it is pointless and just stresses me out!

TTC5 I think taking a break can be a good idea if you're feeling overwhelmed and frustrated. I know how you feel on the body image issues - I am having a hard time myself right now, even though I know mine is "baby weight" and it hasn't been all that long since I had a baby! It's always frustrating to think you don't look your best and weigh what you ought to. Hopefully taking some time to reflect and have a break and re-evaluate your plan will be helpful

As women, I think we try to be "rational" about our weight but I just don't think we are made that way.

OK, I have good and bad news at 12dpo. I took a earlyprenancytest.com hpt this morning and there was such a faint 2nd line I thought my mind might be playing tricks on me so ran out and got a FRER. The 2nd line is still light but there. Soooo, BFP for me. I know everyone will congratulate me but I'm scared to death right now. If my thyroid levels are still off (pray they are not) I can m/c or my baby's brain development could be effected and other birth defects and issues. I've emailed my OBGYN & GP to let them know. I'm not scheduled to take another thyroid test until mid-end of August but the damage is done during the 1st trimester so I'm really scared. I wanted this to be a happy occasion, now I'm just scared.

the fun part is we found out on DD2s 7th b-day!

BTW- my symptoms during the 2WW have been some nausea when I hadn't recently eaten but not for like a 7 dpo (I'd have to look at FF to give an exact day), very bloated/somewhat gassy up until dpo11 then it went a way a bit, cervix has been high since O, had creamy CM at 11dpo. CM & CP aren't reliable ways to confirm BFP but I thought I'd let you know. Had what I guess is a implantation dip at 10dpo.

If this hpt is wrong then I take it all back. I will update you guys a little on my sway too but I need to get ready for DD2's b-day party.

Congratulations on your BFP Iluv!!! We're all prayin your thyroid levels are fine and the baby is growing normally and perfectly!!

iluv, fantastic news!! I hope you have the smoothest 9 months of all of us xxx

TTC5- I hope you are feeling a bit better I really feel for you...that was such a good chart and what a let down for you ....silly hormones......

3Pink- glad your feeling better but I understand the worry...I am not feeling ANYTHING yet - and despite some tugging in 2WW have felt completely myself - perhaps why I was sooo shocked at the BFP...but I am stressing thinking it is not gonna stick and stressing it will and my sway was not as good as it could have been.........FYI- I have posted my sway .......and am now stressing no one has comented on it cause it suxs and they don't wanna tell me...LOL hmmm mabye I have some symptoms......super hormonal/irrational ? LOl

[Kris217]

FIND out for sure at the first possible chance LOL For me I just know I will need to grieve for the son I will never have to then move on to celebrate another gorgeous girl.... but for me personally it has never been a problem having another girl the problem was I would have liked to experience a son and my selfish dh LOL won't let me keep having kids till I randomly hit gold .....Are you gonna find out?

Skrimpy - thank you. I have been reading your blog. Great information you have on there. I am sorry about your GD, sounds like all is better right now your DD1 must be over the moon to finally have a sister. I am sorry to ask you and if you feel uncomfortable talking about it then you don't have to answer, but it sounds to me like you did try to sway blue but you got pink. You say something about avoiding grains on your blog as the reason. I am avoiding carbs. I do eat bread maybe once a day and have cereal in the morning. Do you mind telling us more about your previous sway, lessons learnt, what you would do differently, but only if you feel comfortable.

Iluv - congratulations. I wish you a problem free pregnancy and a happy and healthy baby boy. Us women are so hard on ourselves, we immediatelly find the worst thing that could happen to us, then research it and find (or more like imagine) things that support our theory and then become convinced that it will happen to us. I have been told many times that I need to reverse this type of thinking, you know replace the negative thought with positive, but it is damn hard to do yourself and so much easier to advise someone else to do. Distraction works best for me until I hear good news. Reading a good book, watching a good movie, playing with the kids, crosswords... anything... before you know it, it will be time for your test results... and they will be good news for sure...
