TTC 2012 Group Year of the ball, Year of the bump

Afternoon Ladies,

Sorry for being MIA...

Ilse - jong, dit gaan al beter, maar ons baklei maar maklik deesdae. Ons is onder baie druk, finansieel, en dit maak dit baie moeilik! Bly om te hoor dit gaan goed met jou! Lekker BD! Die strike is vir 21 dae gesuspend vir verdere onderhandelinge, en ek hoop regtig hulle kom tot 'n besluit!

My temp dropped this morning to just above the coverline, so I guess AF will be arriving 2morrow...

How is everyone doing?

Esmari, that is alot to deal with at once... Wish you all the luck

Strikkie, how you doing?

Ika, congratulations on the weight loss, you must be feeling fantastic!!

Claire, how you doing friend? So has your furry baby arrived yet? So you think it's best to put 'sleep deprived' on my chart? I definately know i've ovulated sometime last week as CM is back to creamy again..

Ilse, sorry to hear you had a terrible start to the day, but it's almost over.. Goodluck with your BD marathon and ENJOY!!

I need this day to end...

Ilse: I have been on the diet since 14 August, (HAD TO CHECK!) So that would make it about 3.45 kg a week. I know it is a bit fast, but spoke to my FS on the phone just now and he seemed happy!
I just do not eat anything unhealthy!

NO oils, No fats, no sugars, no starch. I eat two apples a day, drink heaps of water, eat for lunch 100grams chicken fillets or 100gram fillet, and some asparagus. Then at night I have 100grams chicken fillets or 100gram fillet or 100gram fish, and some asparagus or baby marrows.

I then do light excersices and run after a 3 year old.

BUT I had a lot to lose and was eating like a demon, I drank wine and savanna's at night, ate pasta and chips and ate what my DH was eating! I am still heavely over weight.Need to actually lose 19kg from where I am currently, but think it should slow down soon.

I am currently just living healthy! Only drink tea's (No sugar ect and water) Given up on wine and savanna's for the time.

I think the diets works as I was so unhealthy for 3 years and now I am finally eating like normal women do!
Ilse: I think this is my BD week as well, as I have not tracked I am a bit lost, but what the heck, I will BD my heart out this week! (With out wine at noght I do need to destraction!!!)

Claire: I am gonna do the diet two more weeks and then I am gonna go to my FS to check my insulin and also I want my PCOS checked again! I am sure they should have gone down a HUGE amount! Can't wait! But I want to behave for another two weeks, as my DS bday party nis in 3 weeks, and I will have a glass of wine!! It's a celebration!

Hi girls!

Long time no chat! Was hardly near the internet last week! Hope all are doing great and that the Monday is not too blue today.

Mine had a shaky start, left my phone at home, was half an hour late for a meeting this morning due to traffic, huge stain on my shirt (have no idea where it comes from) etc. But luckily it is afternoon already, so not far to go until home-time .

Andy - so sorry AF showed up AGAIN! Glad the fertile XX is working and hopefully it will do wonders this coming month since you have been drinking it a while.

Tanasha - sorry about AF - how are you feeling?

Ika - well done on all the weight-loss!!! I still want to know how the hell you get it right? Do you exercise a lot as well? How long have you been doing this now? Good luck with the last few kgs, it is absolutely brilliant!

Strikkie- hoe gaan dit met jou? Enige nuus of iets interessant?

Tracy- sounds like you are working way too much! Good luck with all the packing and cleaning!

Esmari - shame man... I hear you about another baby and it is so sad that everything is so expensive and one has to have medical aid. Hope something presents itself quite soon to solve your problems.

Tanz - hoe gaan dit? Jy en hubby se dinge uitgesorteer? Alles weer terug na normaal by die werk?

AFM - this week is BD week! DH asked me this morning almost first thing if I am ready for this week So, here we go again - trying for a June baby!

The weather is SO nice, I really think we skipped spring! Just needs to rain here in Pta so that everything can turn green again.

Oh, we watched Shutter Island over the weekend. For me it wasn't that great, I expected more... I really like pshycological thrillers and felt this one wasn't up to scratch.

Have a great afternoon!!!!

Ika - honey look at your weight loss woo hoo!! I told you by end Sept you would be a completely different person! well done! I am sure you have reduced the insulin greatly.

Meags - yr tummy is so cute man! you are showing nicely now hey when you stopping the progesterone - coz it causes bloating.

Aw Esmari - we chat on another thread, but strongs to you - life sux sometimes hey!

Andy - your chart last cycle looks much better - no spotting hey? thats great.

Hayley - I think saying sleep deprived better on your chart. Charting is frustrating argh.

Tracy - thinking of you moving buddy

Howdy strikkie,

I am doing great! Feeling good. 13.5kg down, so I decided to get a OPK yesterday and start testing yesterday. I should be on cd12 currently. Thought that I will not actively TTC, but will try and BD on correct dates. DH is VERY busy this week, so we might miss it! But like I say, I won't actively TTC.
I will go and see FS on the in 2 weeks for a check up and plan foward, want to have some test run before hand to see if all is well, maybe I will go see FS on the 30 Spetember, as that will be my HPT day? So would be nice to see if anything popped up. But that will be my DS birthday, so don't really want to spend my morning at a docs, want to go to Gold Reef city with him!!! Would also try and lose another 5 kg before going to see my FS. Then we can plan on the way foward!

How are you?

Meags: LOVE YOUR TUMMY!!!!
Andy Tanasha: sorry about af
Esmari: YOU NEED A HOLIDAY!!!!!
Tracy: soon the move will be completed and you can relax.

Will say howdy in a bit!

Sorry Esmari, its monday i meant HUGS!!

Sorry if i forget anyone, if i did HI!
