Hi!

Jilliesmomma

Hey ladies.  I've been a bad bumpy lately.  We moved then I was dealing with a lot of stress and emotional trouble.  I sat down with DH and we had a serious talk.  We are going to be working on losing weight, etc., before ttc.  I am sad that I have to wait, but excited about losing weight.  I've lost 12 lbs, so far, by eating less and exercising.  I've been taking Natural Fat Burner by Applied Nutrition.  I had started to take this stuff before but stopped when DH seemed more interested in ttc and didn't notice anything but some extra energy before.  Now I have noticed a huge difference.  I have energy, I'm not starving - when I'm hungry, I'm just hungry. 

 I'd like to lose at least 30 more lbs. I'll be checking in on you all from time to time. 

 I do have one weird - maybe coincidence - my cycle was exactly 28 days and I know when I o'd because I had perfect cm at the right time.  I'm sure the cm was due to all the water I've been drinking.  I am normally really bad about drinking it, but since I've been taking the Natural Fat Burners, I want to drink more.  

 Also, AF showed up on Saturday - great way to spend Mother's Day, with AF!  Anyway, today, I've felt a lot of tugging on my right side, which feels like O pains.  Every once in a while I can feel it during AF, but it's especially strong now.  I may ask my OB when I see him later this month.

Thats great jilliesmomma, as of lastnight im walking also, need to loose some lbs too, happy healthy to you!!! I get the tugging also, always at 'o' but sometimes like this cycle towards the end of AF, im just used to them now, am getting b/ws done so far so good and off to a fertility clinic whenever i get the appt........so if anything they will find, good luck with your ovary, im sure its totally normal!!! Good luck on the move and sorry to hear about your stress, life isnt plain sailing as we all know, hope your feeling much better now!!! Take care and have a good tuesday!

Hi!  I'm sorry you've been having a tough time, but it sounds like you are on a positive path.  I've been getting the O pains/tugging from O all the way to AF.  Let me know what your doctor says!

Good luck with the weight loss, I need to get on that, too.

I have been wondering about you and how you are doing.  Great attitude, I am glad you are seeing results. TTC consumes us so much and to make that decision is healthy for you.  Keep in touch and gl on losing more. Oh, and the 28 day cycle is great....I struggle most with cm, and water is hard for me. With my age i have no quality cm and with even drinking lots isn't very effective for me. this is an area i am really going to have to find a solution for. Great to hear from you!

Congratulations on the weight loss!  I also have a weird tugging, but always on my left side.  I call it "poking" because it feels like something is poking me from inside.  I would love to hear what your OB says about it!

Jilliesmomma

Thanks ladies.  I have the tugging every month at O time, so it's just weird that I am feeling it now.  I will let you know what he says. 

I'm enjoying some wine right now.  I usually don't drink at all during ttc, but I figured, what the heck?! 

 DH is supposed to be working on his weight too, but it's a slow start.  I won't worry about him, I'm just taking care of myself and going to the gym every day.  I am actually feeling rather addicted to working out.  That's a first!
