Monday 15th July – 8w 1d So tired tonight as I’ve been busy pretty much all day, helping the in-laws out with stripping the wallpaper on their stairs and landing. I’ve been told to take it easy, but I mainly did the bottom so I was sat down most of the time. So ner. The craving I had with little man has also reappeared! Potato wedges with salad cream! Tuesday 16th July – 8w 2d Have started getting nervous again as in a few days is around the time I started spotting with bean, and then 2 weeks late I miscarried. I …
BMI
Consultant appointment
We had our first consultant appointment today, after being referred because of my BMI. Was quite a short appointment, and we didn’t actually see the consultant, but one of his staff. I had to do a urine sample when I got there, the results from this were fine. Then had my blood pressure taken, this was also fine. Then just went through a bit of history, like medical problems, procedures etc., obviously mentioned about the PCOS, then she asked whether we had fallen pregnant naturally or with help, I obviously mentioned the clomid then, then she wanted to know how …
Booking in with the midwife
Well we had our booking in appt. with the midwife last Wednesday, it went quite well! Got there, went through medical/family history, last AF etc., gave us our EDD which is the 10th March – I had it as 9th March, so not too far off, though it will probably change again at our 12 week scan!

Well, it turns out my BMI is just on the …

Just where I need to be for treatment with the FC, right before our appointment on Tuesday! Now just need to keep it there! Well, preferably get further below, and not go above again! I am SO SO happy, it’s took a while to get here! Especially since my plateau started back in January, when I was so close to being here already (0.2 …
The (not so) amazing shrinking Stacey
I have been on my weight loss journey for just over a year now. TTC was the reason why I decided I needed to lose weight. The other reason was because I wanted to. I needed to lose it because I knew if we ended up needing fertility treatment at any point in the future, I would need to be in a healthy BMI, or overweight at the very most. A BMI of 30. Well, I am nearly there. I’ve lost around 42 lbs so far, since I started my journey at the end of January last year. I’ve had my ups …
