TTC girl- July 2012

My 2 year old...."Maaaa what that smell (as he holds his nose)."

Nothing goes unnoticed in my house. My 4 year old grabbed my receipt and gave it to DH. DH looks at the receipt and the ribbon and officially thinks I have lost my mind. Then in the background the sense and spray lavender scent goes off and I took off running before anyone could ask!!!!!!

And....I am about to decorate my wooden spoon and paint my nails before DH gets back from the gym.

One OPK test left... after 44 neg tests. Wow. I'm never buying them ever again! £30 down the drain.

My weight is also up by a pound this morning?! I feel so defeated now. My weight keeps bouncing around 114 - 116 lbs and my sensible goal was 110. I've got nowhere near that and without drastically decreasing my calories, I doubt I will. I wonder why it was such a breeze losing weight the first time I tried to sway around Christmas and this time it's so hard?

Hopefully that's not make or break for me because I'm feeling really discouraged this morning.

Is weight gain a sign of upcoming ovulation? I still am having that sore achey spot near my left side near pubic bone and sporadic twinges... and last I checked yesterday, though not yet this morning, my cervical position was highish. Trying to be hopeful.

with regards to your weight - it could be that your body has gone into 'starvation' mode (thats not the right term for it, but i can't remember what the proper word is)
Basically your body has said "thats too skinny, not gonna let that happen again" so your body is 'hoarding' more - as in its converting more of what you are eating and storing it.

I have heard that happen to people when they go on a drastic diet to lose more weight then they should, they eat much less then they should, shed some weight, then fast forward a couple of weeks/month and all they have to do is look at an apple and gain a kilo...

i could be wrong, thats just my guess...

I know that i personally lost a ton of weight when i first started swaying, and now, no matter how little i eat, i just can't lose any more, nor can i lose the little bits that i put on.

suregena - i just had another random thought.
Was it you who said that your cycles are normal when you are not swaying? In which case you would be o-ing normally / on the average day range ??
Is it possible that maybe your body does this delayed o when swaying because you are not eating enough?
I mean i know you are probably sticking between 1200-1500 calls per day, but maybe this is not enough for your body? Maybe yours needs more?
I know women struggle with o if they are dieting heavily or are losing too much weight..

Could it be that when you do finally ovulate whilst swaying its because you have loosened your diet a bit and are having more 'cheats' therefore more calls, so your body finally o's ??

i could be well off the mark, it was just a random thought and i thought i would share
