I'm going to take a day off I think. DS3 is teething and I may have had a broken 4 hours sleep. I'm not too sure- everything is a blur. I may change my mind....

Still no AF. I've been faked out. BFN Sunday with a blue dye test and those never work for me. I'll get a FRER or a CB digi this weekend if nothing happens.

See this is weird. I've worked out much harder for longer periods of time with my other two boys while nursing, and my period always came right on time. Even when I used to run regularly. I had pink CM Saturday and Sunday along with cramps. Nothing. I also have had a dip in my supply with softer breasts like I always do before AF comes, DS3 doesn't seem to like the taste as well (this didn't happen when AF first came in March), I'm more thirsty, and my appetite is HUGE. Some of these could be progesterone related. Needless to say, I'm freaking out, which is an understatement, haha!

Seeing those +ve hpts is making me soooo broody right now!! I've done my walk and swim and just had lunch. Running tonight and doing hill sprints in the morning with a friend - this is where the exercise gets tricky as trying to get meals in too with a good fast in between but not too soon before exercise can be a mare?!x

Beautifulrainbow, So brilliant to see that strong BFP! Good girl!

Help me - I'm off the wagon-whip me now! No exercise for 3 days ladies. My legs are knackered, basically all my own fault. Can't be arsed to warm up/cool down (3'sacharm-poison to your ears no doubt hun!!!Sorry!!!) and now I am paying for it.

Any advice girls, been going so long really don't want to lose it now! Change up my exercise do you think? Too scared to go couch potato.

Faithinpink-you came back!! Missed you lady xxx

Glittermouse can you do something low key like just a walk/slow jog/low intensity bike? I went to the gym 2 days ago and felt it in my legs as if my muscles had a big work out just from the xtrainer,bike and running. So now I'm only doing that once a week as I don't want to build muscle and just doing low key bike at home

Thanks hun for the reply and your suggestions. On Sunday we did have a big family walk, bit start stop to be honest, no sitting/resting, just pulling the boys out of puddles, mud pits etc My legs were so painful when I ran after them I thought I'd better rest and leave the TM for a while. I've just spent the last 2 evenings having muscle soak baths and using massage oil to try and soothe my legs (TBH it's been a real hardship and I've missed running in 16 layers in my freezing cold garage!! ).

I think you may be right about the bike, I have one set up so will give it a go. Is that less impact on the legs? Otherwise I might have this week off fully to recover and then force myself to follow a proper warm up/cool down from then on?

How you getting on? Still feeling a bit weak/lethargic? Gotta mean it's working eh?

[3'sacharm]

Why is it your legs are so sore glitter mouse?? Get on the bike!!! I find it a doddle compared to anything else; I like running but to be honest, I'm really not a fan of the treadmill so I'd lay off that and either walk for an hour or get on the bike for sure!! And yes, 3 days without exercise?!! You've made me seriously twitch now lol!!!x

I guess that for me any muscle aches mean Ive worked the muscles which I don't really want. I got a cheap exercise bike from argos for about £80 and do an hour a day on level 5 or 6 and only ache when I get off it but not later in the day like I do after a gym class or using the gym machines. I think an uphill walk would make me ache though when dieting!
I'm feeling OK but I have dropped 1 metformin tablet as I think it lowered my sugar too much. My plan is to eat low gi and low sugar/carbs/protein and the month of ttc to take my metformin again and grin and bare the aches and lethargic feelings. I've just booked my mum to babysit for 10dpo so me and Oh can go out for a slap up meal without worrying so much :-) Something to aim for!!

Ladies, thanks so much for your replies xxx

I think my legs are sore because they're injured. Lack of warming up , strain, wear and tear on them etc. Shin splint pain which a running specialist told me is largely caused by your calf muscles and mine are quite tight due to my running style. I'm not a natural runner, different strokes for different folks I suppose. I enjoy exercise but much happier doing yoga, pilates, aerobics DVDs that sort of thing. Just can't find one that lasts for 60 mins cardio?? Its all weights and toning and 20 mins cardio. I'm tied to working out at home. We don't have the budget for the gym at the moment- I already feel guilty on my boys for focusing so much on swaying so feel any extra cash should go on them-days out, treats etc.

I will defo give the bike a go. It's not an exercise bike but a road bike on a stand. Still be ok?

Chocolate, can I be thick? What is metformin? Your plan for a slap up meal sounds fantastic!!

[chocolate]

Metformin is for Pcos to lower blood sugar levels, I used to have Pcos quite badly but it's eased off so taking it now may mean my sugar levels go quite low.

Yes I think your usual bike on a stand will be a great alternative for now!

I too struggle with shin splints,can only run every other day or less for 20 to 30 mins maximum before I get really bad pains. Don't suffer when I only run once a week and use the bike though :-)
It's great to have a date to aim too, I already know I'll be having lamb shoulder with garlic mash and veg followed by a pudding :-)

Ha! The last line of your reply really made me giggle chocolate! x

Right, the bike it is! I will change things up, bit of running when recovered, bit of bike. Might be the boost I need TBH. Managing ok with diet but think changing my exercise might shift a bit more weight and motivate me further x
