TTC pink in july-august 2013

[crazyladyneedsababy]

I won't have any issues skipping breakfast as I tend to have it late anyway. Can you have a drink though, I've bought peppermint tea lol. Sounds like you are doing great cauliflower! I'm glad hubby has decided to try again too. Fingers crossed we all get our pink bundles, you definately deserve it after working so hard x

Thank you for your support crazylady, you girls are so good to have!!
Yes I usually have a little coffee in the morning with a splash of milk, you can have peppermint tea. I used to do that, but it really messed with my cycle. AF was late by 18 days!!!! And if you are to TTC that month, you shouldnt have it after O.
You can have diet soda in the morning too, helps you feel full for longer....

yeah ive been drinking peppermint tea, strangely im quite addicted
I had read about the diet drinks so may give that a go which should help. what about water? thanks for the advice, its really helpful. So do you have a name for your future daughter? xxx

[Cauliflower]

You can drink as much water as you want too! The whole idea is to keep bloodsugar low for as long as possible, one way to do it is by skipping breakfast and quit snacking...
I dont have any names yet, maybe because deep down I think It wont happen, although a part of my tells me it is possible.
My sister just got her second daughter, she really wanted a boy this time. She did not want to know the gender at scan 20wks, she said it was much better to live with the anxiety whn she did not know, than living with the disappointment if it is opposite. I think I just had to know!!!!
One thing I am already being nervous abt is scan

Btw, my sister never eats breakfast, skips meals, and is very slim, she never take ny vitamin or supps! We have talked abt triver willard hypothesis and come to the conclusion that it fits us

I had GD in my last pregnancy so im going to monitor my blood sugar through the months im ttc to make sure its not too high. I saw a great idea on here where someone suggested not finding out the gender. then when baby is born having them passed to you all wrapped up. You get to bond with them and in your own time you can have a peak and see, I thought it was a fab idea but Im not sure I have the will power.

I love the idea of waiting until birth, but I certainly don't have the patience lol. I found a registry website just for people who are team green. notfindingout.com It would be so cool to have all that gorgeous pink/blue baby stuff delivered to you all at once.

Crazylady,
I had GD too in my last pregnancy. I am also going to monitor my blood sugar. I hate it, but it is very important that the bloodsugar is not too high especially the first trimester when the organs are being developed....

[crazyladyneedsababy]

Just purchase my personal sway plan, so excited.

It sucks doesn't it cauliflower? Did you have to inject insulin?

[Cauliflower]

No I was closely monitored and my blood sugar levels stayed in normal range, so I did not need insulin. What abt you?
Congrats on your plan it is so nice to have it all customised only for YOU

[Hopeful37]

I think it does. From my understanding, we are suppose to trick our body into thinking we are in hard times. So that means your blood sugar needs to be low, especially in the am. Guess that is why we don't eat breakfast. you can have sugar but not too much....good luck
