    Amanda - I would could that as spotting. Since Mirena is imbedded with hormones, I would think that it's like coming off the pill...so totally normal for the first cycle off...

    Okay, so this is not AF itself and I really think I should have one of those before we really try because I have heard that you need to wait awhile.

    Alisa, you are not the only one who had an epic failure today. :indifferent: It started off when I got up at 5:30 this morning, put on my workout clothes then planted myself in front of the computer until it was time to get in the shower. Yesterday I baked a two layer chocolate cake with cream cheese icing for my co-workers birthday today. (Mind you I had way to much "testing" the batter and icing last night when I was making it.) I had way more than the one piece I planned for. Dinner tonight was leftovers and I opted for the unhealthy pizza, followed by a piece of my mom's homemade meat pie and lots of Sun Chips. :embarassed: Surprisingly I don't feel sick, just horribly guilty. But as DH pointed out, maybe one really high calorie day will be enough to shock my body out of this plateau. :ohwell:

    Alisa hope you know there is no judgement coming from this girl at all! I'm so much like you when it comes to rebellion and restricting and binging! And it is really hard to just have a little of the "forbidden" food as well. I am having an "epic fail" day right there with you. I was on track this morning. Got in my strength training workout (LOVE my Tracy Anderson!) and planned on a 4pm Spinning class that I always go to Fridays. Well my doc appt went longer than expected. So I was STARVING. Hadn't eaten lunch and only ate oatmeal and a protein bar. So I missed spinning and found myself ordering Chinese (which is VERY rare for me) and making dessert (low fat brownies, sugar free cream cheese pudding, sugar free chocolate syrup, and light cool whip. mixed together = AMAZING! not necessarily healthy, but not as bad as it could be).

    The Doc told me that we'd stick to the same game plan this time around. I take Metformin and then start Clomid day 3 through day 7 of my cycle. As soon as I get a positive pregnancy test that I'll do suppository progesterone immediately and basically be on bed rest for several weeks. For the rest of my first trimester I will have to take it easy and can only walk or do light exercise (I don't know the meaning of this "light exercise" she speaks of...). I feel all my hard work to try and lose this weight is all for nothing. I won't be able to continue my exercise routine like I planned and my goal of only gaining 25-30lbs seems like it will be really tough without having exercise as part of my everyday life.

    I'm not complaining really I'm not...if it results in a baby then I'll do anything. Just kinda bummed about not being able to workout the way I planned through my pregnancy is all.

    Heather - All your hard work IS paying off. You have spent all this effort working to make a good home for your baby to grow in. THAT is what is important when it comes to weight pains and pregnancy.

    I know it's hard to shift focus from your weight challenges to 'best for baby' - I think most of us will have difficulty with it. But it sounds like you've really been working hard to do what you need to for the future of YOUR VERY OWN family.

    We're here to support you. All the way through. And remember, bed rest and light activity can be counteracted with food control (if there is such a thing for pregnant women). Your doctor will be able to help you figure all this out when you get there. Recommended calorie intake, acceptable activities (prenatal yoga, prenatal aqua fit, walking, etc).

    It may not be so bad, although I know you can't help but worry about it. One day at a time for now, is the best any of us can do.

    Hugs!

    Today was one heck of a day. Hubbie and I have been working on getting the little renos done again before his grandmother visits from the east coast. She's been in the area for a while, but she's coming up to visit us next weekend. I got a call from his Aunt this morning asking if they could come by for tea this afternoon. I was like a whirlwind. Our house was a construction zone this am. This afternoon, a comfortable house again.....YIKES!!!!!

    On a side note, hubs and I did alphabet date L last night :) P is for Puzzles....we went out and bought a big old puzzle and started it last night. Obviously P is going to be an extended date. We did miss a few weeks, but just wondering if anyone else is still doing it?

    Well, I think we are finished trying for this month. I "O" two days ago and now we are hoping for the best! On day 20 of this cycle and praying the next few weeks go fast and end with great results!!

    On a side note: I went to a scrapbooking party today and was able to get all of my wedding pictures on paper...now I just ave to journal and embelish them! So excited to have that accomplished with the thought of how many pictures I will have after ths baby is conceived and born!!!:smile:

    Amanda, it was an idea that was brought up by one of the people on here when the group first started. For me, it's an easy way to make sure hubby and I are keeping the fun in our relationship and not so focused on the technical aspects of the babydancing. Our rules are that the dates cannot cost more than $30 a week and we take turns deciding what we do. This forces us to be creative with our ideas and makes sure that neither one of us gets stuck planning something every week. It's a total surprise to the non-planner of the week :D Each date should start with the next letter of the alphabet.

    So we did: Agricultural Fair, Bingo, Comedy Club, Dog Park, Extraterrestrial Watching (basically stargazing all night)....etc.

    Wow! That sounds really fun. I may have to steal that idea! Sounds like a creative way to do some fun things with the hubby.

    Got a positive ovulation test today! whoo hoo. Now question? Can you get a positive after you have ovulated for the cycle or just right before?

    The ovulation predictor kits monitor your LH surge which occurs right before ovulation. So get to baby dancing! ;)

    Blah. I have been battling a cold or allergies for the last week and half or so. It's kicked my asthma into high gear. I am feeling better on that front and woke up this morning with a killer stomach ache and have been feeling lousy all day. It was probably brought on by mild buffalo wings last night and hormones, but at least I don't feel like eating anything. :laugh: I didn't work out this weekend, but I did spend 5 hours cleaning my house and doing laundry yesterday, so I was moving and lugging and bending etc. Back to it tomorrow if my stomach is better.

    No peak on my monitor and no +OPKs. I just think my urine is too diluted for the the OPKs. The monitor will adjust next month and look for a lighter surge (or it should). I think we've covered our bases anyway and I actually followed my doctor's recommendation by hitting CD 10, 12, 14 and will hit 16 and 18. I'm expecting my temp to go up tomorrow to show I ovulated, but maybe I'm just ahead of myself and that's why I haven't gotten a peak... We'll see.

    Whirlwind weekend....I can't believe it's Sunday....I love it bc the HUBSTER COMES HOME TOMORROW!!!! I will be able to work the full day and then leave after work to go pick him up...Can-Not-Wait!!! I've actually forgotten to do my OPK's today...I'll just do one later this afternoon and then make sure i'm testing the rest of the week.

    So I've been dealing with some Drama in with the other wives in my husbands squadron and it makes me sad bc they are supposed to be my family while the guys deploy and right now i feel very jaded and am having a hard time trusting any of them right now....Luckly i have one good friend that i've known for a while (we were in the same training squadron together too) so she and I have been buddying up and it looks like it may be her and I against the world when the guys are gone....Who knows, maybe this too shall pass and the one stirring up the drama will quiet down soon...

    Eating has been decent this weekend....haven't been eating a lot mostly snacking here and there and MOST (not all) of it has been relalively healthy. Well i'm off to scrub my house so it will be all nice and clean for my hunny!! (ps finished the bathroom yesterday and it looks GREAT!)

    Weigh In Stats
    FFF SW = 268.6
    Week 14 Weight = 241.2 (-2.4 lbs)
    Week 15 Weight = 240.7 (-0.5 lbs)
    Week 16 Weight = 239.9 (-0.8 lbs)
    Week 17 Weight = 240.1 (+0.2 lbs)
    Week 18 Weight = 237.0 (-3.1 lbs)

    I'm happy with the progress this week. Woke up this morning with a killer throat though. I know my sinus' have been draining again so that's the cause. YUCK. Started taking the Sythroid and the Provera yesterday. Doctor told me the Synthroid will help with the weight loss as well. It's nice to know that not all the weight I put on over the last 12 years was because of my eating habits or exercise habits. It's also nice to the that this is the first time in my life I haven't had to struggle to take off the weight because I have the right medical treatment....it makes all the difference. I don't feel like Indiana Jones with the giant ball of weight coming to smush me.

    Hope everyone else had a great weekend....looking forward to reading about them.

    Ok, so I didn’t really give myself the time over the past 4 days to write on here but have been reading the post.

    Kkuhly – Hope this is the month for you guy’s!

    Heather – Happy BD’ing!

    Erica – Hope you get over your cold/allergies soon, I hate being sick so I feel for you.

    Alisa - Glad to hear your hubby’s back home today, enjoy your time together.


    Last time I wrote I mentioned that I was afraid to not keep up with my goals during my days off, well I worked really hard and kept them (for the most part). I did go out to eat a little more than I’d have liked but I made sure to exercise and only went over 115 cals on my highest day. So I think this weekend was a success (to short but a success).

    I hadn’t weighed in for two weeks and had gained a little over 1 lbs but didn’t track it, this morning I weighed in loosing .2 lbs since my last weigh in, so I actually lost almost 2 lbs this week. I’m very happy with these results and hope it keeps me motivated.

    Oh, DH and I found a boy’s name too! We’d been struggling to find a boy’s name for some time, we have a girls but can never agree on a boy’s till now! We were having a hard time because I didn’t want it to be all that generic but needed it to sound nice in both English and French. Living in Quebec I know how annoying it is to have an English name that is mispronounced by everyone (btw my name is Ashley, it’s a pretty popular name yet French people cant people cant pronounce it properly).

    abeare, fantastic job this past week!!!

    Pam, I love my synthroid. The last time I lost weight, synthroid played a major role. I just didn't work hard enough to keep the weight from creeping back and discovered a love of beer..... :laugh:

    I put on a pound between yesterday and today... so I imagine it's not a true pound... though I did drink a ton of cranberry juice and gingerale this weekend, so who knows... I'm definitely feeling better today and I'm 99% sure that I ovulated. So now I just need to focus on working out for the next two weeks to take my mind off the two week wait. Though I'm approaching this cycle with an entirely different mindset, so that shouldn't be too hard. We either timed it right or we didn't and there's nothing I can do now to change it. I am grateful for everything I have in life and I'm not going to let this one thing make me forget that. My life is so much better than I would have ever imagined 3 years ago.

    But I'd take any positive vibes/prayers that I can because next cycle will be our 12th and I'm not sure I can keep up the positivity after that one.

    :heart: Pam - congrats on your huge loss! I'm so happy for you! I also noticed that you changed your ticker - it must be feeling good!

    abeare - well done on your goals! I'm super happy for you!

    Alisa - yay hubby's home! Enjoy!

    erica - i hope everything works out for you this month! My family LOVES cranberry juice and gingerale - too funny!

    Me - So I did really well last week - I worked out 4/7 days (I'm pleased with that) and when I weighed in yesterday morning I was a lb less than I am now.... but then I ate too much lasagna last night (yum!). So my goal for this week is to workout 4, if not 5, times andtry and stay closer to my daly calories. I'd like to have that lb gone for next Monday!

    As for TTC - I've been doing OPKs since CD8 (now CD15) and I haven't seen anything yet. On average I O around CD18, so there's still time. Like I said last week, I will feel MUCH better once I have gotten at least 1 positive OPK. Saturday both DH and I saw a 2nd line, but it was yellow (I'm assuming an evap line?), and last night and this morning I saw a SHADOW of the faintist line ever - but it's the first time I could even really tell where the 2nd line is supposed to show up. So I hope to get a + in the next 24hrs or so. I'm still testing twice a day (10 am and 11 pm-ish). I welcome thoughts or tips!

    Also - we bought a new car this weekend - totally love it! It's the new Chevy Cruze and it's wonderful! It's our first new car ever. So fun! Dh also started a new job today, so we went out and got him some dressier work clothes - it's always fun to shop with men. It's like dressing a real live Ken doll! :heart:

    Good job on the working out last week, jalara. That's my goal this week (it was last week, too...). We can do it!

    As for the OPKs... maybe you're testing too late in the evening? Or it's possible that you're just not gearing up yet. I've never used the regular OPKs, so I don't know much about them besides the test line is supposed to be darker than the control line. I know some women don't get a line until it's nearly positive and some can watch their LH increase over several days. Good luck!

    Alisa – yea for hubby coming home!! :heart: But I’m sorry that you have to deal with drama.

    Pam – great loss this week!!!

    Abeare – DH and I have been arguing over a boy’s name since before we got married. We had no trouble with a girl’s name but we’ve been stalled on a name for a boy. We talked about it yesterday and he finally agreed that we will not be passing his name down. He’s still a little disappointed, but he’s slowing coming around. Even my mother-in-law pleaded with me not to pass the name down again. Her exact words were “3 Castor’s in one family is enough!”:laugh:

    Ericaroo – I’m got my fingers crossed for you!

    Jalara – great job on working out last week!

    Oh, weigh in day……..I’m up 1.5 pounds to 158.5 this week. :sad: I think I took it a little too far when I upped my calories to break this plateau. I broke it alright, but in the wrong direction.:grumble: However, AF is scheduled to be here tomorrow so I’m hoping some of the gain is because of that.

    On a different topic, I sliced my finger open while making dinner last night – it bled FOREVER. So DH stepped in to make/clean up dinner. Other than Saturday morning breakfast he hasn’t cooked since we got married, and even then his cooking was limited to stuff that came from a box. I had to stand there and tell him step by step what to do, but it turned out really good. He now has a much bigger appreciation for what I do every day. :laugh:

    Ouch! But at least it ended with hubby making dinner. LOL Mine also made dinner last night, grilled cheese sandwiches and soup. :laugh:

    Alissa, I hope you have a great time with your DH and the drama dies down before they leave.

    Ashley - I understand. My grandmother in law, in the 10 years I've known her, has never gotten my name right. She's francophone from New Brunswick and calls me Carmella (pronounced to rhyme with Pamela)......But I've gotten used to it.

    Erica - loving the new attitude towards the new cycle. Good info on the Synthroid....I'll make sure not to get too complacent.

    Ron - OUCH. I did something similar right before my doctor's appt on Thursday....these darn fingers do bleed forever. I absolutely love liquid bandage. It didn't stop the bleeding right away, but did help coagulate it so that it didn't make a giant mess. The good news about going up is that you usually don't hit a wall on the way back down, so hopefully you'll breeze through

    Jalara - yup. I did change the ticker. Found that I was getting too "okay" with having lost 53lbs. I figure I'll remotivate when I see that I have 87lbs to goal instead. That's still a long way....just playing mind games with myself to keep myself motivated.

    We had a lovely evening last night with hubbie's family just out of town. I love spending time with his grandmother. She's coming to visit next weekend and is looking forward to having a quiet weekend (ours is the only house with no kids...terrible I know, but at least we can provide her with that rest). I told her not to expect a quiet place next visit though....LOL She loves kids, don't get me wrong, but she lives on her own and is not used to the busyness that happens in the cousin's houses....LOL

    Hi ladies!! I would like to say Happy Monday, but I wish is was not Monday at all. It was really rough getting up this morning for work.

    Ericaroo- I'm glad to hear you are doing better. Also, you are in my prayers! I know it has to be hard and frustrating! Keep positive, He has a plan.

    Alisa- YAY!! Hubby is here today! I'm so happy for you! And good job on finishing the bathroom.

    Pam- Great loss! Glad to see your hard work paying off! I am going to be changing my ticker too. I am SO close to the end, I need to see it and get my butt in high gear.

    abeare- Way to go on keeping to your goals on the weekend! Only over by 115 cals is great!! I think I went over by 400 cals...Not a good weekend for me. DH and I have had a boy name forever. We just don’t know about a girl. He gives me the “I don’t care” answer when it comes to the girl. He really wants to have a “little buddy” boy.

    Ron- OUCH! I hope it heals soon. Finger cuts always seem to get in the way.

    Jalara- Good luck on the + hope you see it soon. Wow lots of changes, new car, DH new job, and TTC sounds like fun!! Great job on working out too!

    Me- This is one of the worse weekends I have had in a while. I actually said "I don't care" and ate whatever I wanted. Ugh bad idea, because now that I look back I feel completely guilty. Pizza+bread sticks+wendy's+chocolate=BAD WEEKEND! I did make it to Zumba Toning on Saturday and had a great class, but I don't think it made up for all the bad choices. My weigh in this morning + 1 lb, I'm afraid that isn't reflecting this weekend either. So I have to get my choices under control!

    I started temping yesterday morning for the first time. I have jumped 1 whole degree from yesterday to today...is that normal? I guess I have some researching to do. I ordered the 10 pack of HPTs and 40 OPKs from Amazon this weekend. Now that I kind of had a period I think it is time to start monitoring things closer. When should I start OPK testing? I'm on CD9.

    My mom brought my future family plans (and lack of menstruation) to our Zumba instructor when I was not there (I could kill her for sharing my personal business with strangers! This is not the first time she has done this! I lost a good friend because my mom couldn't keep her mouth shut when I got engaged. Grrr I want to scream!). But the instructor said that I have too much testosterone from working out so much and if I cut back a bit it would drop and I would regulate more. I go to Zumba 1-2 times a week, teach 2 times a week, and work on the house (which is much more mild now that we are getting to the end) all the other days. I don't think I am working out that much. How am I suppose to get to my goal without working out?! This whole hormone stuff is frustrating! I don't know how to get everything to balance! (Yes, can you tell I am having a bit of a meltdown?)

    Well I guess I should get to work. I work at a theatre in Detroit as the Dance Admin. Assist. and we have The Nutcracker over Thanksgiving weekend. It’s starting to get busy around here! I love it! :happy:

    Kcurtis - that irritates me so much. The Zumba instructor isn't qualified to talk about hormones - even if she is certified as a trainer, which most are not. If you are really concerned about your hormone levels, ask your family doctor for a referral to a Reproductive Endocrinologist - they are medical doctors that specialize in hormone balancing and they can certainly rule out any medical issues that you are having AND prescribe treatments to correct it. It's crazy first of all that your MIL would take it to someone unqualified to figure out what's wrong and what's even crazier is that the instructor blamed testosterone without doing blood tests. If you irregularity of cycles goes on for a long period of time (5-9 months) having the full work up will alleviate any concerns that you do have about various hormone levels.

    As for jumping one degree - depending on the time of your cycle you're at, it is possible. The most key things about temping are consistency around time and not getting out of bed before you take it.

    Yikes, kcurtis. Thanks a lot, mom... I doubt that you're working out too much, though maybe Zumba is just too intense, but I'm 100% it has nothing to do with testosterone from working out. It doesn't work like that. The reason women miss cycles when working out is because they've lost too much body fat. I would think it's just due to the shot still working it's way out. Your body has to remember what it's supposed to be doing. And it sounds like it's trying to do that.

    I would start with OPKs on CD 10 or 12 depending on how long your cycles used to be. Shorter cycle, start earlier. Or you might want to try starting now until you see AF again.

    As for your temp, are you using a regular fever thermometer? If so, that will make it all sorts of wacky. Best bet is to get a basal thermometer from Walmart, CVS or Riteaid (avoid Target and Walgreens... and don't tell my DH who manages a Walgreens that I directed you to CVS). To get accurate temps, you have to take them at the same time of day after 3-4 hours of sleep. If you are using a basal thermometer, then you might have ovulated yesterday... but your temps would need to stay up for at least three days to confirm that. Sometimes your temp can do random things.

    :love: Happy Monday Ladies! I am so tired! I was up until 12:30am last night folding laundry and doing HW and then had to get up at 6am to FINISH laundry (which i still have one more load in the dryer)....I am so excited that Monday is finally here! I'm workign a full day at work (well i'm leaving 30 min early to go home and mop the kitchen...) bc I think if i were to stay home i would go absolutely stir crazy! :ohwell:

    Got a lot of the drama worked out last night....Here's what happend: I had a conversation with one of the wives a few weeks ago and I guess bc alcohol was involved a question I asked got completely misinterpruted and this person decided it was her job to tell people what I was asking and that i was trying to find out the "dirt" out on people in our squadron:grumble: ...which was NOT what I was doing at all. So yesterday I noticed that one of the other wives deleted me from Facebook, so I emailed her and asked why (even though i knew...) and she was very open and honest about how she felt what was I was "doing" was hurtful etc, so I apologized for the misunderstanding and told her what I ACTUALLY said and what my true intentions were. I think we got that part all worked out...just not sure what more damage control I have to do....AND I have to see all these people at a formal event we're going to this weekend...ugh

    Pam - Great idea on theticker...I'm sure changing your ticker will help you see the light at the end of the tunnel and be super motivating! :flowerforyou:

    Ron - Right after my hubs and I got married I was making guacamole and used a steak knife to cut open an avacado and the knife slipped and sliced open my hand/finger and I ended up with 4 stitches...most painful thing ever and it bled all over the place, when we got home from the ER my kitchen looked like a murder scene! :laugh:

    Ashley - Great job stickig to your goals! I know weekends are the worst for me bc i'm not on a set schedule like I am during the week!

    Jalara - I intentionally got the clear blue digital OPK's so that there was no confusion on the lines...I hate the idea of being like "Well MAYBE that was a +...or could have just been an evap line..." just like when I take a preggo test .... I would like to just say "Pregnant" or "Not Pregnant" (preferably "Pregnant":happy: ) - I did read that it is less accurate before 10am and after 8pm so maybe adjusting your testing time would help to get a more + and hopefully you won't miss it!

    So I found out today that Wendesday will be my last day at work! Woo Hoo! Hoping to set up some interviews for another job at the end of this week and the beginning of next week! I am now REALLY excited to go to the gym a few times this week and really start toning now that i'm so close to goal!
    No :smile: on my OPK's yet either but i know last month I got the :smile: on CD16 so i'm not too worried about it! It is a little terrifying that I know there will be A LOT of "BDing" :smooched: going on this week and this is the right time for it...IF we wanted to get preggo this month. IF we got preggo this month it would be an august baby which is WAY too early....so back to the rain coats it is! :blushing:

    Thanks everyone for all the positive thoughts. :flowerforyou:

    As for names, we agree on NOTHING. So maybe that's why we can't get pregnant. :laugh:
