beck -- you need to stop beating yourself up hun!! SO not worth the agony you're causing yourself......believe me - i know about weight loss and more importanly - weight GAIN......it was during the time i was falling madly in lust and then love w /my dh that i had all the willpower in the WORLD!!! i could say no to anything!!! and then we got married...... and then life happend.....and then a big part of our social outings always include yummy foods and then, and then, and then ---- 50'ish pounds later - here i am!!!! so i get it....and the smoking thing too --- been there, done that.....although - never really took the place of food for me??? anyway.......................i know how you feel and i'm so right there with ya -- but don't get yourself worked up about it -- seriously, what do you think thats gonna do????? it will likely push you straight toward the giant banana split you can get your hands on cuz you'll have the attitude of "doesn't work anyway -- why bother" (cuz i've been there.....in fact - am there about every night!!!) my point is (yes - i have a point....) we just can't beat ourselves up about it!!!!! CONFIDENCE is incredibly sexy... use that to your advantage girlfriend -- cuz you're one of the most brilliant, confident women i've ever had the pleasure of meeting!!! back in the day when i lost all my weight (i actually lost about 75 lbs ) here was my "diet plan" ----- i drank tons of water (and i'm the WORST water drinker ever....will ALWAYS choose soda over water anyday!!!!) SO...drank all the recommended 8-8oz glasses a day......i exercised to a video in the comforts of my own home atleast 5 times a week --- i really got to a point where i loved it!! i knew the routine and i really enjoyed and looked forward to it!! and i ate whatever i wanted!!! NO JOKE........i simply did it in MODERATION.....for example -- i can easily eat several pieces of pizza when first out of the box - just fresh from the pizza oven --- OMG, YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but i learned that i was FULL after only 2 pieces.......and if i wanted a candy bar -- i had one and was over it........but i wasn't doing that DAILY......maybe once every couple of weeks or so.......i quite literally did things in moderation -- that was the key....i didn't eliminate any food group.....i didn't eat more of one thing than another....i didn't take any pills......or drink special shakes.........i've always said if i could bottle up the will power of a woman in love i'd be a very rich woman!!!!! seriously though -- i drank my water....i ate in moderation and i was consistent with my exercise.....and i started in november that year and by the following summer i was wearing a bikini for the first time since i was probably 10 years old!!!!! smile honey...... you have so much to be thankful for....you're healthy...you're beautiful... you married to a gem of a husband.....2 gorgeous daughters.....pretty great if you ask me!

Hi ladies, glad your all doing ok.
becky, so sorry you put on, but probably due to AF showing up. Keep positive.
Carolyn, glad your resting up well, sorry your on your own. Keep that PMA going. Sorry can't help with the spa issue, difficult one, unless you say you've had a few dizzy spells and the doc is monitoring you, so no sauna's etc till its sorted.
Angel, sorry your MIL is being a pain. Don't have that problem as lived away from them for years. So when we moved back we were hassled for a few months then the novelty wore off. Re my mum and dad, they always come back over the summer but not usually until the end of July.
Angie, sorry your struggling at work, but i'm sure you'll soon get used to it and the benefits will be great. Hang in there.

As for me just got home after a 24 hour spell in the hospital, Had protein in my urine, and BP was up, so they were worried about onset of pre eclampsia due to the oedema in my legs. Anyway good news is BP is stable, and protein is minimal and no growth, so they let me back home. See my consultant on Friday. Twin 1 is 3/5th's engaged.

Catch you all later
Jayne

Carolyn, now what makes you think that WE would have devious minds

Except for pregnancy, I can't think of much else that could actually stop anyone from going to a spa. This is not the best reason, but could you just say that you have a killer AF, therefore can't use most facilities. But as your back is killing you you'll just have a back massage? That might get you out of most things. As for not drinking alcohol, you could just say that AF has also given you a massive migraine and alcohol will make it worse.

Or that you are on anti biotics and therefore can't mix the two. And before you think that I'm devious, can I just say that a friend used anti biotics as an excuse for not drinking on her own birthday as she had just found out she was pregnant. Needless to say, I started suspecting then, but not many others thought about it.

I wish I was as good as you. If one cookie makes you feel like you've eaten too much, I feel like an absolute pig.

mmm - could use that one - I knew my devious friends would come up with something - alcolhol not an issue as don't really drink now - I think I pickled my liver as a student and after a bout of food poisoning 10 years ago whenever I have a drink I am soooo ill - DH loves iot of course - no arguing over whose driving on nights out - one sniff of wine now an i am on my back

Ow Becky - what is a pound in the scale of things - stop beating yourself up over it - you will get there - I stopped smoking about 8 years ago and thats when I piled all my weight on

Remember you want to be slim - well temporarily till you get your BFP !!

You can do it - just have faith - if you can stop smoking you can control your eating - you are probably still comfort eating from effects of last cycle - right down all that is good in your life and when feel shit and want to eat look at that - you have a fab DH, 2 gorgeous daughters and your health - a lot more fortunate than others

YOU CAN DO IT !!! xxxx

WHERE IS EVERYONE??? USUALLY ANGEL HAS ALREADY POSTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Angie,Angel,Becky,Carolyn, Where are you all??????????????????

Hi Mir - been down staying with Dh for a couple of days to pass time .. oh no more sleeps till DH is come for you - bet there is plenty of BACCAb action in your house tonight - Icsi will be jealous

Has it got easy as week gone on with him being away??

[wishfull27]

I hope someone comes and talks to me soon otherwise I will have filled pages talking to myself - could not sleep last night so been up for hours .. apart from that no other symtoms to report - feel bloated but still weigh the same - nipps are tender but am sure thats progesterone

When do you think the earliest i could POAS would be - its now nearly 9 days since trigger shot - although only 5 since transfer - including today - was 3.5 day transfer - whats your thoughts ladies???

Oooh - chris it must be today you finish for summer - so jealous - are you going away??

Please come and talk to me
xx

[Hope644]

Good morning ladies -

I havent' caught up yet, but I read Carolyn's post this morning and thought i'd throw in my 2 cents, for what it's worth.



I had a 3 day transfer and (though I didn't tell u guys ) I tested two times earlier than I had previously when I had gotten my 1st BFP and they were both negative. I only got the BFP 9 days after transfer (12 days after ER)... SO... for what's it's worth - IF you're going to POAS... especially if an early neg will throw off your "game" & PMA... I would definitely wait until at least 12 days after ER. Just my 2cents!

Best wishes, Carolyn - you're in my thoughts and prayers!!! Sending you lots of sticky, sticky baby dust!!!!

[stephjim]

I did it 10 days post transfer. I would not do it before then because I did not want to face that negative in between period from the trigger shot and the real thing. Just 4-5 days to go for you. Try to relax and think of things to do to keep your mind off of it.

[wishfull27]

I hope you are going to be my firends and come and play with me today

[Angel505]

Hello lovely ladies,

Will you ever forgive me for not coming on for the past few days? I've been under so much stress lately that I fainted, then had a migraine that lasted for 3 days. And I don't get much of a chance to get online over the weekends anyway.

Will catch up with whats going on (not much by the number of pages since I last signed on!!! ........whats going on )

Carolyn, you're very close to your test date. How are you feeling? Any symptoms? You still on leave?
