Kell that sounds amazing x hardwork but definately worth it x

Arianna - was on my girls list too but I couldnt think of a good nickname arry sounds awful lol x

I have both my boys and my girls names sorted but I never tell till the baby arrives! But boys names are so hard i struggled for months with ds1 (luckily i found out he was a he!!) I read 2 baby name books the huge ones back to back before deciding on Nico, Beck is named after the musician but then I found Beckett and Indiana was a bit of a joke as Nico wanted to call him that but I love Indy and in the end we just went for it x middle names are after family bar ds1 who DH chose gerrard after the footballer SHAME!!!

Ladies please can I have some advice!! Feeling so lost and confused since joining this site as there is new stuff and contradicting stuff!!

I dont know what diet to do now, how much research has been done for each-was going to do the ig one but now I dont know!
Also just read that obsessing wont help to lower testosterone which mine is high, so maybe shouldnt focus too much on timing ....... then read not to take cranberry supps but to take a low dose baby asprin as no nutirents. Im lost!!

Which diet do you think is the easiest to adapt for uk ladies with access to products etc.?
What info are you all sticking too?

Thanks

a confused chocolate!!

I know Chocolate, it is very confusing. Unfortunately I think you just have to read everything about everything and let it sink in until you come to conclusions that you're comfortable with. I think both diets are perfectly easy to stick to in the UK, plenty have done IG and LE is even less restrictive regarding what foods you eat (basically, it's up to you so long as you stick to the overall 'rules'). Are you swaying now/soon?

Hi all...

Thanks for the well-wishes. So I had the scan yesterday and I'm not sure how reassuring it was!! Great news was that baby was there and there was a heartbeat! But the sonographer was one of those annoyingly cagey ones who won't tell you anything. I kept prodding for answers - meanwhile DS1 is marching about the room trying to climb onto the bed with me!
The sonographer said that there was some bleeding in my uterus but said I'd have to wait to talk to the doctor about the scan results. So I'm not really sure what that bleeding is... so I'm trying not to get my hopes up. I'm going to go back to the doctors today to see what the results say. I'm trying to take it easy today...

Charlie - it makes you so anxious doesn't it... I can't stand the not knowing!! Fx you get a scan soon!

We have a slightly different system here. The doc gives you a referral to a clinic that does xrays/ultrasounds/CTs etc and there are usually 5 or 6 in different locations nearish to you... and you ring up and make the appointment yourself. The other option is to go to emergency but that can involve up to a 5 hour wait!

I haven't decided on a girls name. I just feel like I'll never get to use one!! We kind of have a boys name picked out but not 100%. DS1 was easy - He is Ernie (it was my Dads middle name). DS2 was much much harder but we decided on Percy. I love it now - it really suits him. I love old fashioned names!

Anyways - I'll update after the doc tells me some more info.... hopefully I'll get in this afternoon...

[charlieispy]

Hope the doctor has only positives to say hun x LOVE your boys names BTW x percival is my boy middle name for this bean as it was my grandads middle name!

Hope all goes well x

Pinga great news about baby and heartbeat!! I can understand the worry though and them not giving anything away!!


Zanacal - we were going to wait to ttc until March, but Im just wondering now that working and having 2 young boys isnt working well and maybe the sooner I give up work the better which would mean ttc earlier .......
But then Im sure with the xmas season approaching, there would be a few occassions of the diet not being stuck too by OH,and I have some dates that it wont work well for through December.... so hard!
If I can wait, maybe its worth doing supps beginning of Dec. and then diet from just after xmas and ttc from mid feb. so thats about 3 to 4 cycles away. But then with the chances of not falling pregnant straight away etc. I wonder wether to just ttc now and do the best with diet but let the slip ups go, really dont know!

oh ping, sorry you still don't feel very reassure though great news that heartbeat all fine! hope you can get more answers from your doctor today. let us know!

chocolate, the amount of info is absolutely overwhelming isn't it and when i think back to my sway plan early in the year and how far i've come its absolutely boggling! i personally wouldn't hold off too long as it could take you a while to conceive and time is precious... wish i had started sooner really! but then again if you start now, you will have to deal with all this over christmas... that is the exact reason i started sups etc in jan last year so i could enjoy christmas first! hope you find a method that you are happy with!

[chocolate]

Hey deaks - saw bits about where u were at but haven't caught up with anything over the last day or so - hope your ok xx. Yeah that's it, in an ideal world time can just wait, but we all know that this world isn't ideal so that's why I think to crack on, but then know december would prob. Sway more to a boy than waiting for jan as OH would diet more from Jan. I'm going to dedicate an hour a day to research and draw up my plan. Also need to check lp for defect and decide what to do too. I think in a practical sense ill have to focus on diet and scrap seasons and moons or else the time will never be right! Will try to do doet and supps soon incase I do suddenly decide to ttc earlier lol
