Today’s guest post is from Laura, a Mummy of two who blogs over at Laura’s Lovely Blog. She talks about a journey I am very familiar with, losing weight in order to conceive. It’s funny, I spent most of my 20s trying not to get pregnant. Having a mini panic attack if there was a slip up. Because in my mind there was no way I was ready. Of course after all the contraception fastidiousness it seemed to me that as soon as we started trying to fall pregnant, that it would be easy, that it would just happen. That the little spermy …
TTC
When?
When? Something I started to think about on Tuesday, only one day after my miscarriage. When to try again? Something that must cross the mind of every couple when they lose their precious baby. So, we weren’t actively trying for little bean and it was a bit of shock when we got our BFP as after our journey with little man, we were not in the slightest expecting to catch straight away. But once we had gotten over the shock we were so ecstatic and so looking forward to being parents of two. We were originally planning on waiting until …
TWW
Well, it seems I’ve been neglecting this recently! Haven’t posted since I was taking my clomid… I haven’t much to report anyway, except to say ‘So this is what a TWW feels like?!’, after never having an ‘official’ one in the 28 months we’ve been TTC. I’ve been baking a lot, and this has been taking my mind off of it, although it still seems to be dragging! CD28 is on Saturday, so that’s the big day, seeing whether AF turns up on Sunday, if not I have to test, eek… A few more people have announced BFP’s and had …
I’m overweight!!
I know, not the usual thing that is good to hear, but after being obese for a few years it IS a good thing! Today I finally hit the overweight BMI category! Right on the line! 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 …
