UK SMOG Wannabes - November (moved from PL)

[indigoviolet]

I still like KathK but it is getting a bit too all over the place and not so 'exclusive'. I love the spots and the mugs, having a cup of peppermint tea from one right this minute!

Gosh Maybe, that is so so sad. Praying for healthy babies for us all.

Petal- hoping you get to meet your little man soon! He's obviously enjoying it too much in there!

So chocolate, basically whatever diet im on, i should stick to till af really. And if i cant manage the IG diet for all that time, i should add in other foods the whole way through my cycle not just after ov...is that right? Basically we want to keep the blood sugar levels constant and for ttc girl, preferably low? Seriously, all this swaying brings out some kind of dyslexia that i've always thought i had! need to be told something about 20 times before it sinks in!

Hi indigo, you must be about a week off your attempt aren't you? are you doing o+12 this cycle and what else will you be adding? Exciting!

[deaks66]

Sunset, i miss our emails! hope you are ok hun! X

Woohoo I found my bbt thermometer! I know Im in the 2ww anyway so doesn't matter but now I'll defiantly be charting starting next week! I really want to spend a few days solidly looking into different sways but I've got so much else I should be studying I almost feel guilty for being on here! I suppose it's keeping me from being totally obsessed which is a good thing for testosterone! Altho the stress of college I'm sure had a detrimental effect somehow!?

Inglewood I saw those after I got my 7 seater!!

Kelli how long does your bbt thermometer take to read, mine feels like it takes ages and I have to lay there listening to DS2 cry while I wait for it to take the temp!

Deaks - Ive been searching for that info but havent found it yet, if I come accross it Ill copy and paste. May have been in the Dream member section. Have you joined? It was only about £7 :-)

Deaks - you can take a baby aspirin every day (it'a round 80mg) but if you notice you're bruising easily or more or your periods are longer or heavier then you must cut back. I took mine 3 times a week then increased to every day when we had our attempt (throughout the 2ww and weaned off during the early weeks of my pregnancy). Some take it as an alternative to baby cranberry for acidity as it doesn't have the extra nutrients cranberry has - but they're both blood thinners so you mustn't take them together We don't know for sure how long it's important to keep blood sugar levels low but it's probably safe not to worry once you have a BFP (ie, not having to wait the whole 2ww if you get an early BFP). I kept my blood sugar levels low until I got my BFP BUT I was a bit more lenient with what I was actually eating - so you can eat a treat food if you still keep your blood sugar levels low by only having 2 or 3 small meals each day iykwim? My main treat was egg mayonnaise in my sandwiches! I would definitely have a blow-out meal on AF day if it took me a few months of trying!

[Kell]

Oh that looks interesting inglewood!

Chocolate mine takes probably around 10 seconds, I do mine internally tho not in my mouth, but I set my alarm to wake me at around 5am take the temp then go back to sleep, otherwise I'd not end up doing it because I know ds2 would be crying or shouting at me!

[deaks66]

Thanks zanacal, i do take cranberry so when i have been taking baby aspirin it was at the opposite end of the day to the cranberry as i heard this is ok. Does it matter when you start/stop taking the aspirin?... i take it it doesn't affect blood sugar levels?

Inglewood, those seats look amazing and might prevent us having to buy a new car again!

Chocolate, no i have joined the dream member section, to be honest i haven't yet had much of a look around this site and didn't even know you could do that! is there lots of extra info on there?
