Woo hoo, congrats Spicy!

Fx for Lola, Layla, Alexis, everybody who is testing soon!

Af is here full force for me, ugh, but with school starting up next week I'm hoping August will be a better month for me because I will have something to keep me busy besides obsessing over swaying and such.

[Alexis2007]

Lola I forgot to say I have my fingers tightly crossed for you. I really think this is your month. Yep I am 12dpo and not testing until 14 or af. I think Alexis is still waiting. I think she might be 8 or 9 dpo?

I'm 10dpo today. I will be testing in the morning with a FRER. I am so nervous! I want it so bad, but I feel like it won't come I have some signs and then I don't have signs. I could chalk them all up to AF or pregnancy. That's the part I hate about it. Every single time we ttc, I get all these ips, when I NEVER have before. I never get pms, until AF is actually already here. But noooo.....my body whacks out when we start ttc!!! Ugh!

WOW ...Congratssss spicy

[Layla]

Af came for me. I am feeling good about it though. I am changing strategy and going on the French GD. I read everything and I think it works and there is a lot of good and real science behind it. I think 3-6 months is all that I can give it, if it does not work then I am dumping swaying and going back to my girly friendly diet which brought me lots of fertility and only girlls.

I bought myself french earl gray tea and green tea to celebrate.

Daisy so sorry about af I really thought you had hope. Alexis I think this is your month too Don't worry about signs all of mine were obviously PMS and bad too.

Kris there is nothing wrong with not putting on too much weight during pregnancy and thus in a way loosing weight. I usually get gestational diabetis when pregnant and have to follow a very strict diet with limited amount of carbs. I have to see a dietician and an endoctrionologyst during pregnany. They both say that in fact a lot of large babies are being born from people who put on too much weight during pregnancy rather than from people who have gestational diabetis and everyone should not put on more then 12kg. If you are overweight you should do your best not to put on more than 5. Being iron steel will power I always stick to the diet 100%, I am sure the mother instinct kicks in and tells me to look after the baby properly. That being said it is much easier to do these things when you have both a dietician and an endoctrionologyst present at each ob appointment. Maybe your ob can recommend a dietician and you can see one if you are really worried.

Thanks Layla that's good advice, I will be trying hard not to gain too much. I'm sure having a dietician helps a lot too!
I'm 85kgs now and i don't want to add to that by too many! No more junk food for me....hopefully i can stick to it!

[Layla]

Yep avoiding junk food is best bet. The protein + carb at each meal is still good advice for pregnancy. If you can aim for low GI carbs at each meal and snack that would be great. The low GI diet is mainly an Australian discovery (I swear we are so smart :-) and is great for any time including pregnancy. Dieticians are not too expensive, you can get some money back if you have private health insurance. GL I am so excited for you and your partner to get pregnant the way you did. I can't remember is IVF still not allowed for same sex couples in NSW or is it allowed now?

It is allowed now but it's a longer process due to the use of donor sperm. There is a nation wide shortage of it so they're shipping it in from America. Then you have to go through counselling then a cooling off period. I'm glad it worked at home for us, the money we saved on IVF or IUI will go into the baby bank account
I just went shopping and bought lots of fruit, veggies and health food snacks so i will see how i go!
Thanks Layla
