Yea, another Friday.

pettycrocker · May 2014

Dear May,

You're already pissing me off. Get that shit in line, please, thanks.

MrsLaurenandDan · May 2014

DD,
I can't help thinking that if we lose this one, this will be our 3rd Mother's Day in a row that we were TTC. Please don't make it 4.

Jodee37 · May 2014

DD, These mid cycle cramps are bullshit. Either show the fuck up AF or simmer down cramps. And please let me avoid being laid off, mkay thanks. these hospital cuts are freaking me out.

Dear Diary,

Please tell me that all of chocolate that I am eating uncontrollably has no calories and is very good for me. I'm currently attaching rubber bands to my pants so I don't have to go up another size. IF is hard enough without the weight gain.

xxoo

DD, this week can go eff itself. And I'm hungry.

Ugh! Yes! I've gained 30lbs (yes 30!) since I started seeing the RE last year. The shit is stressful, and I guess I've been consistently coping with food ever since.

I realized this, and ordered 2 dozen chocolate covered strawberries. Because; SCIENCE?!

I need to get my ass in check.

pettycrocker · May 2014

Dear Diary,

Thank you for blessing me with the migraine from hell.

GraceyandTroy · May 2014

DDF,

Can the pasta salad that I'm supposed to take the family bbq tomorrow just make itself, please? I don't feel like making it.

And what is up with DS's horrible diaper rash!?!?! I feel so bad, he's got blisters that open and bleed. My poor baby, this happens every couple weeks, I don't know why his skin is so so very sensitive. I feel bad having to wipe him

Clagore · May 2014

DD,

Only 20 school days left which means only 20 more afternoons with my current child care kids. Hallelujah and Amen!!

Clagore · May 2014

@GraceyandTroy‌ what do you use for his diaper rash?

GraceyandTroy · May 2014

@clagore, I rotate between aquafor, buttpaste and calazime paste. I cloth diaper and I keep stripping the diapers because I think it might be an ammonia burn or yeast infection. But it doesn't seem to keep it away. I also think it could be something we're feeding him, but I can't seem to narrow it down.

DS had a diaper rash with a yeast infection once and it took an OTC anti-fungal to clear it up. It only took a day or so before we saw a majo difference.
I hope you find a solution soon! Diaper rash is no fun.

Another DD for me: DD, why did DH have to schedule his SA for Tuesday? He has to abstain for 2-5 days and I am going to O in the next few days. I know we have a next-to-nothing chance this (or any natural) month, but still...

Starting fertility diet tomorrow after having a week of screwing off. Cronut, Mexican food, bottle of wine, huge size of my head apple fritter... Had pancakes, eggs and bacon for breakfast... All healthy eats from here on out... Till the next BFN (or P.. We'll see, I'm not impressed with my luck but maybe third cycle is the charm). I have my pantry stocked with quinoa, chia seeds, peas, beans... Maybe I won't be so sick of avocado this time... Maybe... Anyone know anything about subbing avocado oil for avocado or is there no cheating with this????

Clagore · May 2014

@GraceyandTroy It looks like calazime paste is similar, but I was going to suggest Resinol. My son used to bleed also and that's the only thing that ever worked. Maybe check it out? DD never had diaper rash but DS got it if you looked at him funny.

GraceyandTroy · May 2014

@clagore, thanks for the tip about resinol. I'll check it out.

@GraceyandTroy
I cloth diaper too. DD had what you are describing last year and it was TERRIBLE ammonia burn. I tried everything I could think of. I eventually just had to replace all my inserts with flour sack towels (which you have to fold and are a little bulkier but I LOVE b/c they don't hold on to anything like ammonia and are just as absorbent) and stripping all my shells one at a time by scrubbing them vigorously with Oxyclean Versatile. Had to switch to disposables for a few days so I could strip all the diapers. Good luck, stripping them is such a pain. Hope DS's booty feels better soon, poor guy

DD: My husband routinely barely strings two words together all evening and then when I finally sit down to read a book or an article then he's chatty Cathy. I'm glad he wants to talk to me but seriously....how come?

Eating and drinking are two of the things keeping me sane but then I get depressed at how much weight I'm gaining! Did your RE tell you no strenuous exercise too? My first RE said only waking, yoga, and Pilates type activities. That's not going to help me!

Frenchteachermama · May 2014

@Momarazzi007‌ can you share your fertility diet? I'm thinking of really trying to be good next cycle...

sailorgal · May 2014

DDF - we're supposed to be benched. Why do I torture myself by still trying anyhow for a big let down.

DH was away on business this week. I figured O would be Day 13 or 14 as per usual. He came home and we were both exhausted that night (him from the long drive and me from parenting solo) and I figured we still have time. Nope, O happened Day 12.

So these are my base ingredients to go off of to try and get to 20-25 grams of protien each meal and half to all for snack. I won't lie- going to go smoothie route too- found a good vegan one- Vega Protein.

And basically throwing those in combination together for 20grams of protein each meal, 10 for snacks to get 90grams of protein each day.

Here are some recipes I found:
https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/quinoa-with-peas-and-onion

https://livewellnetwork.com/Good-Cookin-With-Bruce-Aidells/recipes/Quinoa-Lentils-and-Avocado/8353849

https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/robert-irvine/red-beans-and-rice-recipe.html#! (Probably won't use cilantro on this one)

https://www.glamour.com/health-fitness/blogs/vitamin-g/2014/03/recipe-sweet-pea-and-avocado-s.html

https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/4389/braised-peas-with-bacon-lentils-and-cod

Basically as much vegan protien as possible and clean fish, healthy fats, and superfoods. Starting now on suppression cycle so all good effects are already in place by the time lights camera action times comes. Going to have Saturday or Sunday as a fun day to have a dessert, but other than cup of coffee a day- no refined sugars or carbs. Switched to organic coconut sap sugar and that doesn't spike blood sugar either. Last time did a lot of avocados, but this time I'm not going to be as heavy on them- I just hate them. Google any combo of these ingredients and the word healthy and you can find a ton of other recipes!!! Hope that helps!!!

Momarazzi007 · May 2014

Also, I found a different leaner Canadian bacon, so change the above from 3 slices to two for a little over 7 grams if protein and 20 cal saved. I am also using Lose It! Fitness app to track it all. Can record workouts and nutrition and add custom recipes and all. Neat app, was using another before, but I like this one for my needs better.

Momarazzi007 · May 2014

Oh, sorry I keep adding, cut out butter and veg oil, only using coconut oil and olive oils.

Aw damn. You lost me here. I can ditch the vegetable oils, but I'm a little Paula Deen about my butter. Everything else sounds good though!

Hahahaha!!! I know right??? It isn't easy, but I just keep thinking of all the holiday cooking in 4-5 months and it will taste better then... Trying to psych myself up!!! Making a list of the things I want and keeping telling myself if this works it will make it all taste that much better. Plus it helps that we are going into hot weather and the diet I'm looking at matches the weather pretty well. I'll be honest though- I'd love some nice fluffy biscuits right now...!!!
