Fit For Future Families - December 2010

Last night I began to miscarry. Nothing I can do here and it is the same as it was last time. I'm trying to stay positive. I'm gonna take a break for a little bit and will be back on the wagon trying to lose that little bit more weight before trying again. Thanks everyone.

You will be in my prayers.

Amanda – Congrats on the Confirmation! Sticky vibes to you

Heather – I’m so sorry to hear that, my heart goes out to you. Hugs!

Jalara – My work only offers top ups to permanent employees too, happy break.

Erica – DH claims the reason we haven’t gotten pregnant is because I cant stay in bed after, that I run straight to the washroom. I had so many UTI’s when I was younger that it’s a force of habit to not go!

Ron – My thoughts are with you and yours and your DH’s family. You’re right when it rains it pours!

Pam – I’ve been doing the same every cycle! It’s so aggravating! Oh, and I understand the weather thing too, we are on our fourth snow storm in two weeks!

Poeticpurl – Welcome!

Abeare, that's how I usually am so I was switching it up this cycle by laying down for at least 30 minutes after. What a horrible idea on my part! Ugh. Never again.

Sooo sorry to hear it.....that's so not fair!!!!! Is there anything they can do for you next time. Obviously the progesterone isn't enough!!!

Thank you all for you kind words. Women with PCOS tend to have a higher risk of miscarriage than the average woman so I guess I have a lot of things against me on the TTC homefront. We are going to try again next month and if I miscarry again we will just have to scrape our pennies together and go to a fertility specialist (we have amazing insurance...unfortunately infertility is not covered AT ALL). So I guess I am just going to focus on taking it easy for a few days (still cramping and bleeding pretty bad) and then get back on the wagon with my fitness and eating healthy. Today is my 30th Birthday...I sure do hope this isn't a preview of how the rest of this year is going to go.

I am sorry to hear about your miss carry.

Awww Heather what a crappy birthday! I sincerely hope the next year brings you nothing but happy moments, peace,and a take-home baby. Thinking of you!

I second this!

Heather, my heart is breaking for you, I am so sorry. It just doesn't seem fair!

Happy belated birthday! :flowerforyou:

Hope everyone's weekend is going well...today's my open house. I scaled way back on the food....it's going to be very basic, no fuss snacks instead of hors d'ouevres.....I just don't have time, space or patience. LOL

Weight is still all over the place...I'm interested to find out where I stand tomorrow.

TTC is driving me certifiable. So far I think I've geared up to drop an egg twice this month (which with the 2 AFs is not unreasonable - I think). I was pretty surprised when there was EW CM last night....again.....It's also possible for a gear up last week and a real drop this week, I suppose. PCOS oh I hate the games you play with me.....Wouldn't it be great if they sold an at home machine that would tell you all your hormonal levels (actual levels) so that women with trouble TTC could test daily to see what was going on with the different hormones on a daily basis to get a "normal" baseline for them (and provide their doctor with a daily readout). Today is officially day 90 from DH's varicoceles surgery and so we should be playing with a full deck now.....I hope. He goes for his final SA in 2 weeks and then doctor's appointment in a month.

I can't beleive it's less than a week to Christmas now....yikes

KCurtis - Glad you had a great time.....Your cruise sounds like it was just the ticket and good luck with the TTC now that everything is settled down a little

Happy Monday everyone! Wow, less than a week till Christmas, I think I’d be more exited if I thought my goal was attainable! BTW my goal was to reach my halfway point by New Years which is 145 lbs.
Yesterday I weighed in for fun and saw the scale at 148.8 lbs! I was so exited I made sure to stay within my cals and water goal, along with exercising to make sure I kept that weight. This morning I weighed in at 152.2 lbs!!!! WTH!!!! How could I have gained 3.4 lbs in a day! Let alone the fact that I was good all week and yet gained 2 lbs? I’m not logging this weight in and instead going to re-weigh myself tomorrow morning, I refuse to accept that I gained weight this week!
On the TTC front, I know I was Oing this past weekend, but because DH works crazy hours leading up to the holidays, and worked 12-14 hour days all week and weekend no BDing was done. So I can basically throw my hands up in the air for this month too.

SW: 204
LW: 156
CW: 155.5

I’ve been horrible the past two weeks. Yesterday was the first time in a while that I’ve been under calories and had enough water. I’ve slipped back into old habits and I need to snap out of it. On a good note, my family Christmas party was last Saturday and my cousins spent the whole night telling me how “disgustingly amazing” I looked. :laugh: Then on the way home DH and I stopped at the store to get me winter boots and I saw a gorgeous sweater for more than 50% off. I figured no way because the only size left was a small, but I tried it on anyway and it fit perfectly. I’ve NEVER been able to wear a small!!!! :bigsmile:

The bad news is that I think I’m getting a UTI. :frown: I stopped running to the bathroom immediately after, so I guess it was bound to happen. And I’m starting to get cramps on and off so I’m sure AF will be here soon. She’s not scheduled to be here until Sunday but who knows what my cycle will be like now. I kept telling myself not to get my hopes up about it happening our first month TCC, but really how is it possible NOT to? It’s always in the back of my mind. Oh well, I’ll know for sure in a few days.

Erica, I’m so sorry for your loss. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

Happy Monday and a very merry Christmas to you all! I've been a little MIA the past few days, the internet is STILLS down at our house. We have a guy come out and fix it...hopefully I'll be able to be more diligent with tracking. Been holding steady at 139....super depressing since I was doing so well. To be honest I'd be okay if I got pregnant at this weight but would be happier if I was closer to 130...I'm really excited to start trying next month!! I keep telling myself that I won't be too upset if it doesn't happen but I think I will...boo...I should o sometime this week...
Kcurtis - glad you had a good time on your cruise!! It sucks that at came but at least she's becoming more regular!

I’m an extremely impatient person and couldn’t wait another 5 days to see if AF will be here on time, so I took a HPT this morning. Of course it was negative. My hopes weren’t completely killed because it very clearly says on the box that it’s not accurate more than 4 days before your expected period. But now my cramps are here in full force so it’s only matter of time before AF shows. :sad:

I have an appointment with my doctor today for my UTI. I stalled on calling earlier because my symptoms went away for a while ---- stupid, stupid, stupid move on my part. :ohwell:

KCurtis I'm right there with you with needing to re-train your stomach...I "let myself go" over thanksgiving allowing myself to eat whatever and however much I wanted....I now am starving after eating a portion size that would have normally kept me full! I've given up until after the first of the year, my family will be here and I know we'll eat out a bunch!
I keep having dreams that I have a new baby and it's a boy, which is strange bc every dream I've had before I'm either pregnant and it's a girl, or the baby is week's old and it's a girl. I tend to over analyze my dreams bc I dream so vividly!

Ron, I'm sorry about your uti! I haven't had one in a while but I know how bad they can be! Didn't Erica just have one too? You girls are clearly BDing more than I, I almost never get up after we're done to go potty etc

Erica- sorry for your loss! It seems to be hardes
OVer the holidays....

I am praying for baby dust for everyone here!! So excited to start seeing somemore BFP around here!!

TEMPING QUESTION! So I've been temping and Sunday morning (CD15) my temp spiked from 96.4-96.6 to 96.96 and got what I thought was a +opk (got the target brand ones where you have to decipher the darkness of lines...) on the same day....then Monday it dropped back to 96.4 and then 96.5 today...I'm confused...did I ovulate?
