Hey All

Sassy :Happy 1st December , its Christmas shopping time arghhhhhhhhhhhhh lol i have nothing brought hardly god help me these next few weeks. I hope the new meds are being nice to you and are settling down ok , its good to see you around again.

Sept : My hubby doesnt have many of the symptoms only really the nails and the knee caps but he is being geneticlly tested again by Kings college hostpital in London to make sure that is what he has , cos he was diagnosed with it as a child and it was never mentioned to him again , cos he spent some of his childhood in care and foster homes so i guess they never really knew about it to help him , we found out he should be having tests every year to check his kidneys are eyes but he never knew any of this hopsfully the gp/hostpial will keep check on all that stuff now. Well done on the weight loss hunni i wish mine would drop off like that. I have an appoinment with my gp on Monday im gonna ask her if there is any other slimming type pills i can take to help me lose weight , i am currently on Xenical (google it) and its ok but it not doing as much as i would like , she did mention to me about an Anthetamine based medicine that is legal to take here but i am not sure about that one i would need a lot more info before i decided to take that, if not i will continue on the Xenical.Happy 1st December.

Vanessa : I hope your ok hunni , and not working too hard. Happy 1st Decemeber.

Me : I am away tonight till tommorow so i will see you all when i get back , oh and i put on 2lb this week lol totally expected after a pigging out session at the wedding totally self inflicted but i will lose it again.

Take care all love you lots

:carrot:Teresa :carrot:

Teresa: Happy December to you also! I'm not looking forward to shopping at all! I haven't done it yet and it'll have to wait until the 5th! So things ill be even more hectic.....yikes. How is the weight loss coming? Are you getting a pill to help you out? I've been considering getting something just to give me a boost to reach my birthday goal on time. Let me know what you find out, k?

Everyone: Keep on truckin'! Today is a new day, a new opportunity to get these pounds off, a new chance to make babies. :)
<3 I love everyone on here so much and wish you all happiness every day! <3

INTRODUCTION:
Hi I have PCOS and I'm TTC. I am currently taking Met. so I finally get TOM which is great for about the first 5 seconds. At least something is working because without it I get maybe 4 a year. I already have 2 dc 16yo ds and 9yo dd but I have always wanted more and we have not done anything to prevent since dd was born. That is how I finally found out I had PCOS you would think that it would of been as obvious as the hair on my chiny chin chin.
I am looking for support since I am not getting any from my dr's. I am currently exercising regulary and I need to work on my diet. I just started to try to do low glucose. Some days are better than others.:dizzy:
I need to do something otherwise I just fell like giving up. I need to keep on working! Kelli :present:

Hi Cysters! Happy December! ;)

Meds are doing good. At first they made me feel really crappy, but I think I've gotten used to them now and its okay. Also I think they are working as my BS was only 114! :woohoo: I know that is still "high" but its "low" for me and not too far from "normal" (70-110).

:welcome: Kelli!

I hope you all are having a Great Weekend!

Hi Kelli! Welcome! This is a great bunch of girls here. I'm still a bit new here too but everyone has made me feel so welcome! It's nice to finally have some sort of support system, I mean besides my husband, lol! I mean female support. Oh you know what I mean!

Teresa: I'm doing fine, not over doing it right now. Finally nobody in the house is sick! That was lame! Like 3 months of someone or everyone here being ill, one after another. How have you been feeling? I think about you a lot, I don't want you to be discouraged because of that stuff at the Dr.!

Sassy: Right on about your BS! I'm glad something is working for you, it's too hard to get these bodies under control, huh?

Everyone: I'm recovering from Thanksgiving nicely, I'm down to 216 as of today! My weight loss is getting exciting because I've never broken the 30 pound weight loss mark before! I have always given up between 20-30 pounds because I never "actually see" the results.

This time I'm going to persevere, though. I'll have to be able to see these results by the time the number gets to 50, right? I have to keep going and I think I can with all of you behind me!

I plan to be at 195 by January 30th, my 27th birthday. 26 has been a year of "catch up" for me. I've been trying to correct mistakes, fill gaps, make ammends, etc. I'd love to put "lost 50 pounds" on my list of accomplishments for this year. Wish me strength girls, I'm gonna need it.

I'm coming gradually to the grim realization that I'm not going to be done losing weight at 50 pounds. I look in the mirror when I'm brave enough and with just shy of 30 pounds gone.....I can harldly tell at all. I easily need another 30 gone, who knows after that.

I live 10 miles from the beach. This summer I'd like to wear a bathing suit and play in the surf with my 4 year old. What amazing fun that would be. :)

OOPS- watch me take up the whole page---sorry! I blather occasionally.

I check in again later~ Much love!

:welcome: Kelli: its great to meet you , i hope you find lots of help and support from this group aswell as the 3fc site.

Vanessa : We did someshopping today and actully it wasnt to bad hehe , i think its cos we didnt stress about it we were like if we can get something then were try again in a week or so or we were thinking alternativly , worse is gonan be the DH present i dunno what to buy him but his written a list they comprise of 2 ps2 games and a dvd typical lol. I have a dr appointment tomoz morning to discuss the other tablets and to see what else she can do for me , to be hoenst i realised today since i went to the fertility appointment my diet has been slipping and i think its cos i am telling myself there is no point in bothering cos im never gonan get pregnant , i think i need to tell my dr this has ive been depressed before and im kinda feeling a bit stressed with it all, i dont want it to get worse or cause me problems does this make sence what im saying ?

Sassy : Im glad to hear that the tablets are helping you hunni , its great when you can see the difference and has you say your BS is normally high so seeing an improvment is defintly a bonus. Had AF left the building yet ?

Me : I am ok just really tired and my boobs are killing not sure if thats a good sign on not , im only on cd21 so we shall see , I got most of my xmas shopping today so thats done nothing really left to do now. hubby is about to put us christmas deco's and im gonna do the tree aww i will post you all a pic later to see the lovley finished result.....Santa's Grotto Here We Come lol.

Take care all and Merry Christmas

:carrot: Teresa :carrot:

Good morning everyone

Teresa - Well that's good you guys are on it now - that's too bad he didn't get the proper testing beforehand, thank goodness he's had no problems. I was on Xenical for about 3 days - I had the unfortunate side effects that no one likes to talk about! I probably had too much fat in my diet at that point, it might help me more now that my fat intake is much less. At the time though, I wasn't in the "weight loss zone" mentally and so it was not a good experience. Happy 1st December to you!

Vanessa - Playing in the surf sounds like a great plan! You're doing awesome! I'm like you, once I get to the 30 or 40 pound mark and starting to feel good, I fall off the wagon. Not this time darnit!!! I know what you mean about need to lose more...I look in the mirror and think I am still so fat!! LOL 37 lbs seems like so much but really it's hardly a dent. OK, a dent, but not a big dent. :)

Kelli - Welcome!! This is a great group of laides and the support is fabulous. Post away!

Sassy - Glad your meds are working for you!

Anyhow as for me no new news, DH & I are going to start our BD marathon in the next few days, and hope to catch any eggie that might happen along!

Good luck on catching the eggie this month Liz .

I went to the dr's today and i ended up crying lol i didnt realise how upset i was getting about it all, we talked about other medication and she said i could try Reductil instead of Xenical so im trying that only downside is i cant get pregnant on it , so i am going on the pill for 2 months to prevent (not that i need to with no O but cant take the chance) and be on the reductil for 2 months to get my body losing again , she said then we will work out a plan where me and kevin are trying for a few months then having a break and then trying again and so on cos she said hopefully after that weight loss we might be in a better postion to fall if not then ill go back on reductil for a while and then try again so im happy with that and feel a lot more posative already just by knowing she is on my side and has i stressed to her at one time it would have been the fertility side i was stressing about but now been told i have to lose 6 stone (84lbs) before there help me all of a sudden the weightloss is more of an issue than the fertility she was understanding and im so glad cos she agreed with me that my weightloss shouldnt go the other way as it was starting to do.Hope ive made sence.

Good luck for your loss this week.take care


:carrot: Teresa :carrot:

Teresa: That's a fantastic plan! I like the idea of alternating weight loss and TTC, that way neither one gets too overwhelming. I don't know about you but I totally obsess, it's just my personality. If I get hooked into anything, be it losing weight, trying to get pregnant, or even a friggin' video game, I am unshakable, DH calls me a pitbull. It's all I can think of, I dream of it, wake up thinking of it, what I can do to achieve it, etc. It sounds like a good thing, I know, but I take it to destructive extremes, so moderation is a better thing for me.

Liz: Heh heh... have fun in bed!

Everyone else: I'm out of time now but will check in later! Hope you're all very well!

Teresa - That is great - i'm glad you're feeling more positive and your doc is on your side. i think that is a good plan, like Vanessa I get very obssessed over whatever goal I am going for at the moment. I was so obssessed with TTC last summer, it was all I thought about, sleeping, waking, whenever. Then I stopped TTC'ing and started to lose weight, same thing. Now I'm trying to do both, and not become overhwhelmed, and just trying to stay CALM. We are here for you and we can all do this together!!! :hug:

Vanessa - HAHA thanks - sorry if that was TMI! ;) Congrats on 30 lbs lost by the way!!! WOO HOO!

Hey Vanessa & Liz

Thank you so much for your support girls i really appreciate it , i too am like a pitball when i get my mind on something but then in same breath after 2 years of ttc i started to realise that its not that simple and whether i go at it like hammer and tongs or not its still not gonna achieve anything. The aim with this plan is to hopefully kickstart the ovualtion after losing some weight on the reductil and then by time it comes to trying i might be a bit luckier , its a good plan and in the long run the break will proberly do me and kevin some good no more stress. Halleluyah (sp) , so yeah im so much happier today, all i got to do now is wait for AF to start the BC pill and Reductil cant take it just in case i did maracuiously get pregnant lol , so hope AF aint a long one this time , besides its not a long time its only 2 months im taking the bc pill for and reductil to see how i go.

Sorry waffling on about myself again , i hope your both ok and nice and relaxed.

Liz ill speak to you on msn soon hopefully and Vanessa ill catch up with you soon on here.

:carrot: Teresa :carrot:

Teresa: You sound great! Just please try to stay positive. I want to hear all about the Reductil, I totally feel like I could benefit from some pills at this point. I think I just want an excuse to get lazy though, so that's no good. I'll just keep hacking away, at least for a few more months. I figure if I can keep up like this for another 3 months or so, I'll be fabulous in no time.
I've also been considering going on the pill for a while. DH is totally against it though, he said I was a nutcase on it. It's not like there's a real huge chance of me getting pregnant, but I've had a few AF, lost 30+ pounds, etc. It could happen! I want to have a kick a** summer with DS since he'll be 4 this year, lose all the weight so I can be healthier for a pregnancy and I really really need my teeth fixed!! I feel like these things are more of a prority for me right now.
But what to do about birth control? lol, I haven't thought about it in years!

Liz: LOL!! Yeah, Too much nice information! I'd much rather hear that people are gonna stay in bed all day (jealous!) than something like fighting all day or something!
:cb: Get it done girl!:cb:
I know that's supposed to be a banana but I'm getting point across, right? ha ha ha ha

Sassy:HI!!!

Vanessa - :lol3:

Vanessa : I know totally what you mean about BC i havent had to think about it in years either but the dr was asking me about using condoms for a few months and i automaticly thought no way hehe DH wouldnt like that at all cos he dont really like them plus i know what its like in the spare of the moment sometimes you forget to use it and i cant really take that chance on that Reductil so i am better off sorting the contreception. I will definatly let you know how i go with these tabs , my dr warned me to stay on a healthy eating plan with these and dont go off track , but i am not planning to go off track anyways so she has nothing to worry about , and you know what since going to the dr's yesterday i have started behaving with my eating habits no junk so i must have really needed to get it off my chest and have someone to listen to me and help me make decsions.Just wish id come to you guys sooner before it got out of control and maybe it wouldnt have got so bad. Ohhh before i forget if your bearing these tabs in mind for yourself , u cant take them if your on Anti-depressant medication or if you suffer from high blood pressure and you also have to have your BP checked every 2 weeks on it. When she took my BP and HR (heart Rate) yesterday she told me my BP was at the high end of normal but she thinks its prob cos i was stressed going in there but shes gonna keep an eye on it.

Liz : Your set to away on msn so i take it your BD'ing like a mad woman HEHEHEHEHEHEHE

Sassy : Hello hunni , hope your ok

:carrot: Teresa :carrot:

Hi all.

Thanks for the kind words. I think this medicine is actually working. I just need to get myself to doing better and I think it will do even better! I'll be honest here I haven't been eating well or exercising here lately. :( My back has been killing me, but I know that still is no excuse.

AF is still here, but I can tell she wants to move on, but she is stubborn and wants to hang around a bit. :p I wish she would just pack up and leave already! I'm sick of her! lol.

Have a Great One!

Teresa: I actually posed the condom question to DH!! He laughed and then got REAL quiet. Then he asked, "Whoa, what--you were SERIOUS?"!!! LOL! We've never ever used them and we've been together for 10 years!

We disagree a little on the birth control issue and I totally understand his feelings about it. Seeing as we're married and already have DS, he wants more babies. I do too but I just want to get myself straightened out before I get pregnant, I mean try to anyway, I know it won't be an easy task.
He doesn't like the pill since I was crazy when I was on it before so I don't know...
Condoms? Nobody likes 'em, I know I don't, I know DH doesn't either. It's something we'll have to discuss a bit more. I'm going to buy some though, just in case the *ahem* need arises, so to speak. LOL

Sassy!: Good to see you again!

Liz: Busy? Getting busy? Busy getting busy?
lol, I could harp on that all day - lol!

Sassy : Good to see you hunni , im sorry AF is still here that really is a long time now id be losing it by now and would be in PMT MANIA hehe

Vanessa : Totally agree i dont know anyone who likes Condoms they are nasty and feel horrible , to be honest i dont mind going on the pill its fine at least i know one of us is taking care of it , although i dont wanna go on the pill at this moment i have no choice but i know its not forever and like you say if it gets me straight then its a good thing. :)

Liz : Your still set to Away on msn my god what is it a marathon BD'ing session hehe Aren't you warn out yet pmsl. :) Were just jelous really.

Me: Had to get up at the crack of dawn to wait for a parcel , Joy not hehe now im am feeling really tired and my boobs are killing me , god i wish it would stop , althought im hoping the sore boobs is a sign af is on its way but who knows with my body lol.

Take care lovez you all.

:carrot: Teresa :carrot:

HAHAHA you girls are too funny!! You crack me up.

Sassy - AF should just leave you alone for goodness sake!! I hope she takes off very soon for you! Sorry to hear your back's been bothering you. I totally feel you on the eating/exercsing thing...I've been eating OK, I guess, but exercise has been one excuse after another lately. No more!! Tonight, Liz, meet the gym! Gym, Liz! haha

Vanessa & Teresa - I think DH would freak if I told him we had to back to condoms! LOL Truth be told I don't like them either. I think I'd go on the pill for a couple of months before using condoms again.

Vanessa - yeah yeah, busy at work! That's all the busyness I've had lately! haha Soon though, DH, soon....I'll pounce! :D

Anyhow my day is almost over...well in another 1/2 hour...thinking of checking out early though! No one'll notice, no one's here but me anyways! haha Hope everybody is having/had a good day and talk soon.

Love Liz

Hi Ladies.

Well AF is still around, just enough to be annoying, but so far, nothing major. I just wish she would leave already! I don't think I remember what its like to go without wearing a pad! lol.

Back was really really sore lastnight, but today, so far its okay. I just think its this crazy weather, trying to make up its mind. lol.

Well I hope you all are staying warm! :hot:

:hug:

Yeah, condoms are not gonna happen....

How is everyone? I'm having trouble with monster children today. DS and 18 month old niece are tearing me up today!
I had an emotional eating episode today, chocolate frosting out of the can and sugar cookies for lunch. Bad I know!

DH will be home soon so I'm gonna run. I don't think he'd appreciate me blabbing on the internet about condoms. lol!
That and niece is screaming at me and hitting me with her empty cup. Think she wants something? lol

I haven't posted much in the past, but I read you guys almost everyday, if possible. I hate trying to give advise and when I do have an opinion everyone else says what I think so much better.

As for myself, My OB prescribed me Provera almost three weeks ago and I took them as prescribed and within three days of ending them AF arrived in full force for the first time in I can't remember when. It's like the Red Sea at Niagra Falls. Going through a super plus between 1 to 3 hours.

On weight loss news, I had a resting metabolic rate test done almost a month ago and finally got to talk to my primary physician today. I knew it wasn't good when he called me personally, instead of his nurse calling and leaving a message that everything was fine. Anyways, I have a very low metabolic rate and anything short of eating less than 1500 calories a day will allow me to lose weight alone. So, PP prescribed me Adipex-P (Phentermine) 37.5 mg today. I got the prescription filled and took the first it seems to be curbing my appetite a lot like I need. However, I am having one side effects that he warned me about (nervousness/jitteriness). I hope it is something that will eventually dissipate if they work. If not my only option will be WLS.

Does anyone else take Adipex-P (Phentermine) with any suggestions?

Thanks you guys for listening.

Morning all. I'm typing in red because that is all I've been seeing this morning is red. No, I'm not angry, my AF decided to go into overdrive and I bled all over the place! So I am staying up now to get laundry done. (Sorry if TMI!!) Also I am going to call my dr and see about getting something to get this to stop. I've had this AF since October for crying out loud! Its time for it to stop! My old gyn. gave me BC pills to help me stop before when I had this problem, but she told me to take more than just one and I can't remember how many and for how many days and all, so I am going to call my dr and see what they say. Something needs to be done because I'm really sick of this. I can't take it anymore. One minute I am fine and the next minute I'm gushing like a river! (Again Sorry if TMI!)

I'm debating about calling off of work too, but not sure. I know women have periods everyday and go to work and all, but this one is a bit different and kinda extreme I think. I mean I've gone heavy before, but I know when enough is enough. You know?

Anyways sorry if TMI but I'm just plain sick of this and I can't take it anymore. I kinda had a mini-break down after I went to the bathroom. I am so sick of this disease. (PCOS) I know there are worse diseases out there, but I'm just honestly sick of this disease and what it does to my body. :cry: :cry: :cry:

Well sorry to be a drag.................

Have a Good Day.

:hug:

Sassy - I'm so sorry you're going through this. I can't even imagine how frustrating that must be. I think you are completely entitled to a day off...you are so right this isn't just some normal period that a woman can go to work and deal with just fine. I would need a day off too...it's not like they need to know why you're taking a day. Let us know what your doc says - they need to do something to help you with this....this is way too much to be dealing with.

Christie - Glad you're checking in! I am like you, I always feel that other people give advice much more eloquently than I do...but don't let that stop you - post away! haha. Besides every viewpoint is always helpful. I have never taken that so I don't have any advice for you on that - hopefully someone else may have some experience with it.

Anyhow nothing new for me, just hanging out at work...hope everybody has a great day.

Liz :)

Sassy : hunni i am so sorry you having such a tought time , i wish there was something i could do to help you , this doesnt seem fair you should have to go through all this , them doctors need a right kick up the arse for leaving you like this if they have been aware for it. If you dont feel like going to work dont althought most woman have periods as you say they arent coping with a 2/3 month period so dont worry about them worry about you hunni , use it as time to rest and go see the dr and get something sorted , im sure if u explained to another woman who you work with what you were going through they would tell you you were silly to be in work anyways. (unless you work with evil people that is). Pcos is a total nightmare , i see what my sister goes through with it aswell as you lot on here , they seriously need to have more PCOS studys done to see how it really affects woman and need more help in hostpials etc cos most pcos patients are just left cos no one really understand it. Hunni if you want to talk we are all here for you even if its just a post of pure screaming if it helps do it.
I hope they can sort this out for you and investiagate what the problem is .
lots of love :hug:

Cldavis (christie) :Please dont feel you can say anything on here we would love to hear whatever you have to say , and often if u read my posts i make no sence whatsoever but everyone just about gets it..We are all here most days and we really appreciate the advice and support from every single person that posts. I am so glad to hear your AF finally showed there is nothing like waiting ages for an AF. Im not exactly sure what Phetamine is but i have just been prescribed something called Reductil , its suppose to speed up your metabolism and tell you brain your not as hungry or something so im not sure if they are similar or not. Google reductil and read it and see what you think . Look forward to reading your posts :hug:

Vanessa : Naughty Naughty with the Chocolate and cookies but hey ho you only live once and it is christmas after all...If id have to cope with 2 kids causing havok id proberly have eaten the chocolate and cookies too lol. Your neice sounds mad wacking you with a cup lol i take it she wants a drink kids hehe my niece is the same and shes 8 , she wants everything done yesterday lol. Have a good day :hug:

Liz : Finally come out the bedroom then hehe good to see you have gone into retirement for the time being. Seriously good luck on your actual bd'ing marathon when you get to it. :hug:

Me : My boobs are still sore but i am passed worrying about that, hubby decided he wanted to leave his job on tuesday but not till he found something else cos where he is at the moment they had a lot of issues with the staff cos some were taken over from an old company to the new company hubby works for and there all kicking up cos they dont have the same benifits as they did before. So hubby got sick of being in middle and asked me to look for a new job for him online so i did and i found one at the local hostpial doing Security which is his trade , he emailed them his Resume when he got home on tuesday night and the rung him yesterday morning asking him to come in for an interview as soon as he could so he went after work last night and was offered the job on the spot , we are both so happy its more money for less hours ,he has the option to work more hours if he wants to , he gets a company pension, the money goes up from January to £8 ($16) an hour and if he does Public holidays he gets Double time and a half so he would be on £20 ($40ish) an hour , plus he gets 26 days payed holiday straight away , this job is so much better than what he has at the moment. So he starts as soon as he can get out of where he works now and i got a big big kiss for finding the job lets hope hubby shows his appreciation in my Christmas Present hehe.

Lots of love a very happy

:carrot: Teresa :carrot:

Teresa - That's awesome!!! I'm so happy Kevin got the job. It sounds great (HOLY COW 26 PAID DAYS OFF?? I am so jealous!!) yes, the BD marathon has started, as of last night! We'll see how long we last...hahaha. Actually we just had a minor tiff over the phone so last night might have been it. ON the other hand, though, tomorrow's my birthday, so he has to be nice to me!!

Vanessa - Sorry I forgot to reply to you earlier - LOL I know what you mean about DH's and the internet...half the time when DH comes in I minimize everything so he can't see and pretend to be doing something else! haha He wouldn't like half the things I say online but oh well! That's his problem!! I hope your niece didn't leave any bruises!! ;)

Teresa: I looked up Reductil and there seems to be a lot of simularities with Phentermine. Let me know how it goes with Reductil and I'll keep posted on Phentermine.

Good Chilly Morning all! :coffee:

It is a lovely 11 degrees F outside! BRRRRRRRR! But of course our new car warms up in just a jiffy! :D It did just fine today in the cold. We didn't get that much snow at all really.

I made it through work, so far AF has lightened up and my back amazingly enough isn't hurting! (So far!)

Only 3 more days and we get one whole week off! :carrot: No word yet about thte 16th & 17th. I kinda doubt that we will get it off, but you never know! If we don't get them off, I told hub that we should ask our boss if we can leave early maybe.


My mom sent me an email saying she took some vacation days off after Christmas so she is hoping to come up to visit with us, if the weather holds out! So I hope I get to see her! :D


I hope you all have a nice WARM Friday! Thanks for all the kind words and support!

:hug:

Hey Girls

Sassy : Im glad to hear you a bit more perky , enjoy your days off you deserve them after everything you have been through latly. :hug:

Vanessa : Hope your ok hunni. :hug:

Liz : I hope to catch you online soon and we can catch up , I am so so happy about kevins new job it will be excellent, and whats good too kevin told the boss man that me and him are under that hospital for stuff and the bloke was like thats fine if u need to take 30 mins off to go for an appointment thats fine no problem so thats really great cos normally he'd have to take a day off for an appointment. :hug:

Cldavis : I thought they were similar i am starting the Reductil tommorow or tuesday so i will let you know how im going on them and you tell me too how ur going. :hug:

Me : Guess who turned up yesterday after 26 days you guessed it the witch , i am so over my cycles now i have no idea what they are doing i seemed to becoming regular at 27,28,29 then last month it went to 46 now its gone back to 26 this is the shortest ive ever had , my dr reckons i might be ovualting on these short months but im not so sure. Arghhhhh but on an upside i get to start the Reductil now cos AF here so i will start that either tommorow or tuesday , Goodbye TTC and Hello Weightloss well at least for the time being anyway. Im still gonna post here if thats ok even tho im not ttc , i hope no one minds.

Take care all

:carrot: Teresa :carrot:

Sassy: Don't worry about exerxising when you've been bleeding for over a month!! I can't believe the doctors haven't done something about that by now. Like I can see 4 weeks absolutely tops (I went for about 3 once, thought I was gonna die) but any longer than that sounds crazy! What's the latest?

Teresa: I kinda think that you arestill TTC, even though you're on the pill right now, don't you? I mean, it's just part of the process for you but the end goal hasn't changed any, right? Same with me, I'm not obsessing over getting pg right now, just getting healthy with TTC in the future.
I'm so happy Kevin got a new fancy job! I can't wait until DH granduates and gets a hotshot job and things will be better for us!
Make sure you keep us all posted about your new meds! I want to know if it works for you and how you're feeling!:carrot:

Everyone: Remember all that condom talk? Yeah well, DH is not going for it and I've had a change of heart. His point is that with PCOS it's not likely I'll accidentally get pg and if I do we can just be grateful. Also, I'm not taking anything daily that would harm a baby so..... Unprotected BD for us! I think he's right for once lol. I think he thought long and hard about that one, probaby just to get out of the condoms, lol!

Whining... Yesterday I woke up with a KILLER toothache! It was so bad I cried. I didn't even cry when I was in labor and at least I got a baby out of that! lol
Anyway, DH came home early and took me to a dentist (the only one open on Saturday) and they say that I need a root canal pronto as well as several other things post haste. I already knew all that. So, root canal on Thursday....yuck.
The office was awesome though! I'd never been to a female dentist before yesterday, and I think I may prefer it. Also, they do sedation dentistry there, which is what I really want. That's where they semi-knock you out and get everything done all at once. Sounds good to me!:D

SMALL TRIUMPH!!
I saw SIL briefly yesterday (she took DS while I went to the dentist) and she commented on HOW GOOD I LOOK!! She said she and other SIL (I have tons!) actually had a conversation about me the other day. That's so encouraging.... :)

Sorry to blather on like this, it must be the meds..... lol

Hey Vanessa

That is so great you got a compliment like that its always good when someone says you look good or they can see you have lost weight , i saw my aunt on friday and she said she could see i had lost weight so i was mega happy with that too. your right in what you say i think in my mind i was still be ttc but i know i cant get pregnant cos im gonna be on the contreception pill and the diet pill so i guess i will look at it as perfecting my bd technique lol you right too my end goal is the same i still want a baby at the end of it just means that somewhere in between things will change slightly in order for me to get to the end and im fine with that , i think if i had to be this way for a year i was be stressed and proberly wouldnt bother but because im only doing it for 2 months then having a break i feel i can cope with that method just fine and in the long run it may work out to be a bonus for me. Im glad you decided against the condoms and to continue how you are i dont see any reason why you shouldnt just stay how you are , i know you want to get pregnant at a better weight but if your body is ready for it, it will get pregnant cos it knows it can.... ideally you would want to be slimmer but in the grand scheme of things in the end it doesnt make much difference everything happens when its ready and not before. I should take my own advice right hehe and stop worry about things so much. lol

Good luck at the dentists hunni , i have had several root canals , on front teeth too that was the worse my nose was numb for ages lol i hope it goes ok and your not in to much pain.

lots of love

:hohoho: Teresa :hohoho:

Vanessa - YAY on the compliment from SIL!! I've been getting more of them lately and it feels absolutely wonderful!! Sorry about the root canal - that's good about them knocking you out for the procedure though I would definitely prefer that too!

Teresa - Glad to hear you got AF and you can move on with your plan now. YAY! I'm sorry I haven't been around online lately, I had a crazy weekend and now my office is full again so it's hard to get away with it! Our time difference stinks! Are you ever on in the evening (well, late evening for you).

Everyone else - how are you doing?

I'm doing good, busy busy weekend...but a good one! My temp dipped down today so I'm hoping that I'm O'ing (please please please!! hahaha). Anyways hope everybody has a great Monday. :hug:

Hey Liz

I am normally on at night yeah , if im there you will see me sometimes im on as late as midnight my time so you will catch me at some point. I have had to make a dr's appointment for today cos last night i had a touch of a sore throat and thought it would go away but through the night it got worse and to the point now where i cant even swallow , all i have managed to eat is some soup and a soft roll and even the roll was a bit of a mission , some rice cakes which kinda melt away to nothing , i think i may be having soup for dinner too lol oh well i suspect its either a virus or Tonsalitus we shall see , i will update when i get back.

Lots of love

:hohoho: Teresa :hohoho:

I have the FLU coming the dr said my throat is very sore but its not tonsilitus thank goodness , she said that cos it only started last night i am gonna get a lot worse before i get better and she said the bout of flu that is around at the moment is very sinusy which is just what i dont need , since comeing back from the dr's my nose is feeling more blocked and im sneezing quite a bit feels like my nose is gonna explode very painfull so i guess shes right.

Oh well ill be all better again soon hopefully , goodnight girls .

:hohoho: Teresa :hohoho:

Hi girls! I'm still feeling pretty bad with this tooth... Hopefully the antibiotics will kick in tonight or tomorrow so the pain will go away! I'm trying my butt off to stay on course with my exercise, though the toothache is hard to work around! I still managed to use the treadmill for a while today and hopefully I can get through another round and maybe walk the dog tonight.
I'm way short on energy because I can't eat hardly anything. That'll be good for weightloss, right? LOL I'm living on yogurt and protein shakes since Saturday.

Teresa: After a lot of thinking, I have to agree with you. If I end up pg by some chance, I'll throw a damn party. There's not much chance of it, I used Clomid to have DS, so I think I'll give my body a chance to do the right thing by itself.
I'll admit that I'm a teeny bit jealous of SIL, who's pregnant....again. I'm totally happy for her and the family of course, the envy was a surprise to me! I've been fairly passive in TTC and I plan to stay that way for a while, but wow! I think I really do want another baby!

Teresa: Poor thing! I swear I've been sick more this year than the last five put together! Take care of yourself and try to rest. At least it's not a throwing up flu, right? :)

Yeah its not a throwing up flu its just an illy flu , throat , nose , achy etc i should be ok in a week or so. Dr told me to lay off the reductil till i feel better so i wont be starting that till about next week now , but have started the BC pill so at least im getting something sorted. I know you will get pregnant when you least expect it and even if u need clommid in the end at least you have a fall abck plan.

Im off now as i cant be arsed to type much lol

Take care and speak soon

:hohoho: Teresa :hohoho:

Teresa - So sorry you're sick!! Make sure you get plenty of sleep and plenty of fluids! No late night MSN chats until you get better girlie! haha

Vanessa - You are such a trooper...on the treadmill with a toothache! Wow. I would be at home feeling sorry for myself. (seriously! :)) I know about the jealousy...my BF's SIL is pregnant and I am so jealous of her! And I never even see her. LOL Usually I feel pretty good and relaxed about the whole thing, but now that I'm temping again I'm starting to FREAK out. Gotta relax. (deep breaths). We are all doing such good things for our bodies that they will work right one day! If you don't mind if I ask, were you overweight when you got pregnant with your son?

Hi Cysters!

Well here is the latest news with me: I just recovered from being "ill". I don't think it was the flu, I think it just may have been something I ate, but I do feel better today! :D I basically slept and slept!

AF is still around, barely, but around, she changes like the weather has been lately! I am in the process of searching for a new gyn as mine left and the practice she was in is a bit far away for me. So looking for something closer.

I'm also thinking about checking out chiropractors again. I used to go to one religiously for my back and it helped me tremendously. I am also thinking about buying some exercise equipment so DH & I can work out at home, whenever we want. Don't laugh, but I'm thinking about buying a kickboxing bag and some boxing gloves. I don't want to take a class because I would feel like a complete idiot, so maybe I will buy a DVD to work out too? I dunno Kinda want something a bit different and a little "fun" too. ;)

I'm not worrying too much over what I've been eating, trying not to go overboard mind you, but my goal is after the 1st of the year, I'm starting completely over. I want to be really really good and lose this weight for good. I know why not start now, but with the holidays and all, I figure its best to wait until the 1st of the year and begin a brand new me. I just want to kinda "wipe the slate" clean and begin again, you know? I've been not doing well here lately and I want to do a lot better, not only to "look" good but to feel good again. That is the most important thing to me, is to feel good again, inside and out. ;)

I also want to be able to buy new clothes, sounds really lame I know, but I want to be able to wear cute clothes again and not "fat clothes". I used to have such cute clothes and looked so cute! I know I'm older now and no I do not want to look like I'm 20, because I'm not, but I just want to look better.

Well I guess I've rambled enough. lol.

Take care!

:hug:

Sassy - My mind is kinda going there too, I can make a clean start again Jan 1st - not that I've been doing badly but I know with Christmas dinners coming up and another holiday party on Saturday and so on and so forth...plus my exercise has come to an almost screeching halt, so I am planning on starting that back up again religiously in the New year. I am all about buying the clothes too, I thought it sounded shallow too but you know it's important to feel good about what you're wearing and how you look...it's just natural to feel that way. Plus I would love to be able to go clothes shopping with my sisters.

Teresa - How are you feeling? I checked for you on MSN the last couple of nights but you weren't online. I hope you are starting to feel a bit better? :hug:

Vanessa - How's your tooth? Hopefully that's better too!

Well girls I am still waiting to O....starting to get discouraged perhaps it won't happen. I'm wearing DH out with this BD'ing..and a part of me is saying, you don't want to get pregnant now anyways, lose another 20 lbs! Which I probably should. But it's hard to turn the TTC monster off in my brain. Oh well chances are I won't get pregnant anyways and all this BD'ing is just good exercise! ;)

Hey Girls

Sassy :sorry to hear you were ill and af was still mucking around glad your feeling a bit better now tho.

Vanessa : Hope your tooth is feeling ok now hunni if not hang in there it will be better soon.

Liz : I havent been on msn to be honest i have felt like i am dying just been sat in the chair staring into space , i have checked my emails and replyed to posts and that in the morning and rest of day ive been doing an inpression of a zombie, Im just feeling worse and worse as the days go on but dr told me to expect that , i hope this is as bad as it gets now. Keep up the bd'ing hunni practice makes perfect and like you say even if your not preggers your getting some exercise.

Take care all lots of love

:hohoho: Teresa :hohoho:

Hi everyone... Just checking in, don't feel like writing much. I had my root canal today so I feel like total garbage.
What a baby I am! I did fne in the chair for the whole 2 hours (so long!) but I cried the whole way home and for a half hour in my bed before taking a long nap. If it were 1 root canal I don't think I'd feel as bad but I got the bad news that my teeth are so F'd up that it's going to cost me nearly $6000 to fix up completely. No way can I afford that! Even with insurance and financing and everything, it's still just so overwhelming.
I'm hoping I feel ok enough by late tonight to at least walk the dog. I'm still comitted to losing weight, so I won't have to be fat AND have crappy teeth!

I'm sure I'll be ok by tomorrow so I'll write more. I miss you guys!

btw: did anyone watch the Biggest Loser last night? Wow! Some of those people lost so much! I feel proud of them and soooo motivated, I hope I can share that level of success even if I don't have 100+ pounds to lose.
I think I might top out at a 60 or 70 pound loss, I guess I'll see WHEN (positive talk y'all!) I get there....
I swear even when I was my healthiest and smallest I still weighed a lot. My old doctor used to joke that I was made out of lead, lol.

I sure did babble a lot, especially for saying I wasn't going to wrote very much at all! LOL, it's the drugs typing.... Talk to you all tomorrow. <3<3<3

Hey Cysters.

Just a quick pop in. Won't bore you with my long-winded posts. lol

Af is still barely around, just enough to be annoying. I'm kinda bummed. :( Found out that someone I know has not just one, but possibly two daughters pregnant and one was unplanned. I know everybody has a right to have children and they can't stop just because I can't have them, but it still doesn't make it any easier and esp. when its unplanned and they are not even married. :( I know that may sound unfashioned of me and all, but I can't help it. :cry:

Well thanks for listening.

I hope you all are doing well.

sassy : hunni i wouldnt worry about it , i feel exactly the same ive had my fair share of pregnant people around me in the last year or so and it does get unbearable , your not old fashioned your human...I think everyone of us has felt that way at some point and will continue to feel that way until we have babys of our own.

take care hunni

:hohoho: Teresa :hohoho:

Thanks Teresa.

I know fellow Cysters understand how I'm feeling.........

:hug:

Sassy - I've been there too for sure...it seems that DH & I have everything together...we have a home, good stable jobs...we're more than ready for kids, and all these people who don't seem as ready just get pregnant no problem. It's very frustrating and you're definitely not alone in your feelings. You know, hearing about pregnant people is actually the reason I stopped going to Curves - it seemed like a grandma's club where all they talked about was their grandchildren or their daughters who were pregnant or whatever...it got to be too much so I quit and now go to a gym where it's mostly guys! No pregnancy talk happening there! haha

Teresa - How are you feeling?

Vanessa - Hope you're feeling better today! Sorry you're having challenges with your teeth - my sister has a lot of problems too and it sucks. I didn't watch the last Biggest Loser but I did watch the one before it - it's amazing what those people have accomplished!

As for me nothing new, just waiting for my workday to end so I can head home! Come on 4:30!

Sassy: I feel that way right now too! And I feel guily for even saying so....My SIL is pg now (again) and I swear she just gets pg to have an excuse to quit her jobs! It happens every time she get a job, I'm not kidding! I mean, I love her and BIL very much, I think it's just negativity and a bit of jealousy on my part.
My point is, I know how you feel! I don't think it makes us bad people, but it's impossible not to react somehow. We're have really tough challenges to get around, we deserve a break too!

Liz: Thanks for the good wishes for my teeth! I'll get over it eventually, it's just going to cost a fortune. I sometimes wonder what's behind my letting it get so bad, I mean, I do bruth my teeth and floss, but never go for cleanings, checkups, etc. How I can I treat myself so badly? In more ways than just the teeth, I mean. My body (and mind I guess) in general has gone to **** and I've been letting it.... Guess I've just got issues...

Teresa: The mouth is feeling ok today, maybe a bit sore though. How's everything with you? Have you started your new meds yet?

:carrot: Ladies, I have to tell you that I was extremely ecstatic when I got on the scales yesterday!!! For the first time in almost 4 years, I was BELOW 300 pounds. Granted it was only 299.6, but the scales that I have now have never shown in the 200s since I owned them (when I get on them any)!!:carrot:

And it's down to 297 today!!! I couldn't be happier!!!

Yeah! Christie that's awesome! Are you still dieting and exercising?
I'm waiting, not so patiently, for the scale to say something below 200! I'll have a damn party when that happens.

Congratulations!

Christie: Sorry I called you Teresa a little bit ago! I just saw dancing carrots...Ay, so embarassing! You can blame root canal pain meds! I'm only a fraction functional. Anyway- you're doing amazing, keep it up!

Hi Cysters and thanks for all the lovely responses.

:hug: to everybody.

WTG Christie! :woohoo:

Hey Girls

I am glad to report im feeling a bit better i think the Flu is starting to leave. I am not gonna type for long on this has i have to get going , but i just wanted to say t everyone thank you for you get well messages and i will reply to all properly when i feel much better.

Take care lots of love

:hohoho: Teresa :hohoho:

Sassy: Your friend sends shivers down my spine... My BEST friend has had two abortions and eventually a son at 19 years old that she loves now but didn't want to keep initially. Granted, this has been since we were like 15 or something, but still....The son (who is now 7) was meant as a trap. Didn't work, his dad bailed. It's awful to see that kind of thing, especially when we have such a hard time. I used to threaten to take my best friend's boy because I was so mad at her when I was ttc. It just isn't fair.
To recap: She's fine, her son is fine, and I'm not mad at her for her fertility anymore. My, how we've grown...lol

Teresa: I'm glad you're improving! I'm sick too so I know how you feel!

Everyone: I'm sorry for no personal notes! DH is on his way in the door and he always reads over my shoulder!! I hate that! Anyway, DH will be hanging around a lot more int he next few weeks but I'm going to make a point of checking in at least once a day! Ill just have to beat his butt away from the computer so I can have my privacy! LOL

Hey everybody. Just not feeling in the best of "spirits" lately.

I hope you all are doing well!

:hug:

Sassy: You ok? Is it the holidays? Or did I mess up by telling that story? I hope I didn't make you feel bad!

Everyone: HI THERE!! Ready for the holiday? I'm trying really hard to get into the spirit but....it's hard. MIL willb e here Thursday....Joy...She'll spoil my little guy though, that's good.

Hey Vanessa, no nothing you said hon. I think its just me. Either its hormones or me just readjusting to the Wellbutrin again that I messed up on and went a week without. (ARRRRRRRRR! I need a personal assistant for my brain sometimes!) I think I am going to set up some reminders on my computer to REMIND me when I need to call the dr or the pharmacy for refills so I do not run out!!!

Okay and I need some energy here to finish up my cleaning. I am almost done with laundry!!!!!! :carrot: But I need to finish up the bathroom and organizing the linen closet.

I feel "better", emotion wise today. So I think it could be hormones, because I do notice that it seems I feel down or whatever when AF is raging and she just had a "spurt" again and now she has calmed down again. So I'm thinking its hormonal and I know, I know, I need to get to the dr.

Well won't ramble on, but I wanted to pop in.

I hope you all are doing well and are ready for the holidays, I'm surely not!!!! lol.

:hug:

Hey girls!

Sorry I've been MIA - fertility friend has been sucking all of my time away...and my focus has definitely not been on w/l like it should be. I was up 3 lbs, but am now up only 1 lb on my ticker weight, I seemed to have lost 2 of them overnight so that's good! I can't bear to change my ticker though, I'm sure it will be back to 218 before long anyways.

Vanessa - I am pretty much ready - just a bit of wrapping to do is all - and then I'll be set! I know what you mean about MIL's - mine is a big weirdo. She came over the other night and saw that I had flowers from my bday and realized she forgot it (it was on dec 8). So she ran out to get me a card and brought it back to give to me, and then proceeded to blame DH for not telling her it was my b-day! I told her it was no big deal and DH was like "hey, don't blame me!" haha I mean, i've been with DH for like 10 years, you'd think she wouldn't need to be told anymore. lol

Sassy - Glad you're feeling a bit better and definitely set up that reminder for yourself girlie! :) And tell that AF to GET LOST! I would be very down too if I had to deal with that for so long! :hug:

Anyhow should get back to work, talk soon!

Hey all.

Just a quick hello. :wave: Well for now (knocking on wood here) AF is very very very calm, like she wants to go away, I hope she does, would be a great Holiday Present for me! lol

I all of a sudden feel like crapola. I think that I need to eat something.....:barf:

Well I'm off to go join the "Rat Race" and finish up some shopping......;)

:hug:

Hi everyone!! I only have a minute to type. DH is underfoot so uch right now! LOL! I almost want him to just go back to work! His vacation is for another 6 days...hope he survives!

Sassy: Are you feeling better yet? You seem like you've got the blues pretty bad....Stupid holidays! And I swear! AF still for you?!! If I could take some of it for you, I would. LOL, Seeing as I skipped last month, I could use some AF.

Everyone else: HELLO!! I promise one of these days soon I'll have enough time to devote to all of you personally! MIL gets here tomorrow night (yay) and we're hosting Xmas so it's going to be tough going. DH is aslways reading over my shoulder when I'm on here so I avoid it.
Sometimes I see him coming and I yell something like "Cervical Mucous!!", and he stays away. But I don't always get to him in time. LOL.

Anyway, I've met my December weight loss goal!! Yeah! And 10 days early even! I'm hoping to continue to kick *** (I'm so modest, I know) and maybe start January off ahead od schedule. I want to 50 pound total loss by January 30th! I think I'm within realistic range for that.... omg!

I'll definitely make time to check in tomorrow morning or maybe late tonight.
<3<3<3

Hello Ladies!!

Sarah - A very big WELCOME! to 3FC and to our thread specifically! That's great to try to lose a bit of weight before TTC'ing...I'im sort of doing it together, but it's hard because I lose focus on the weight loss and focus only on TTC'ing.

Everyone else - MERRY CHRISTMAS!! Hope you all have a wonderful holidays. I'll be checking in before Christmas but I'm feeling very festive since this is my last day of work before the holidays! haha

Anyhow should get my work done...maybe I can get out of here early! Talk soon. :hug:

Merry Christmas Everybody!

So Has Santa come to visit???? :hohoho:

Hope your all having a good day. I cant believe there are just 4 more days in the year. Im really hoping to concieve next year. Dh just told me my SIL will be trying to concieve in 3 months. Shell get preggo in the first try just like last time. And I cant help but be jealous. I wish we could ttc now but we need a break. My diets gone out the window. I think Im gonna try weight watchers again after the new year.

Hey Girls

Sarah : Nice to see you hunni , I know how you feel about the whole siblings/in laws ttc , my sister got bfp on Day after christmas day while she was staying at our house , as you can imagine that went down like a lead baloon with me a bit , i am happy for her but just a bit upset right now. shes been trying for 8 years since my neice was 1 and has pcos so she thought she was just having a long period she didnt think she was pregnant its only after she was really sick ( neice had a bug previous to that) and started to spot i worked it out and told her to test. She had a scan today adn she is 6 weeks and saw a heartbeat so all is ok do far. Good luck with ttc i hope it happens for you soon.

Sassy : Hope your ok hunni and Christmas was good.

Liz :Hope your ok , i see on your chart AF came sorry about that hunni , hopefully your have a bfp in Jan 07

Vanessa : Where are you hiding ? I hope your ok hunni and Christmas was good.

Christie : Hope your ok and your christmas was good ?

Me : As i said above my sister got a bfp , so as you can imagine i am a bit down right now , once it sinks in i will be ok , im just fed up with it being everyone but us , its one after the other in my life right now and its becoming unbearable. Oh well im gonna quit moaning and get on with losing weight now i started my reductil this morning and i did my rosemary conley salsacise work out too & 10 min hip and thigh tone up ( got dvd for xmas off my mum) so im rearing to go and im gonan throw all my energy into getting fit.

Take care and happy new year to you all

:carrot: Teresa :carrot:

Hi everyone! I'm sorry I haven't been on.... My house has been crazy! MIL has been here until yesterday and she was sleeping on the couch next to the computer and needing things all day. Whew! Glad The holiday is over. Now on to New Years!
I managed to only regain 2 pounds over the course of the holiday. I didn't want any back but it was nearly impossible. MIL had me running all over shopping, then there was all the cooking and everything. It was damn near impossible to get on the treadmill. I did get on it a few times and also walked the dog a few times, so it's ok. I'm deciding to forgive myself and move forward.
Today I'm back on the wagon. Refocusing on my diet and exercise!

Teresa: Congrats to your sister! I know it's hard to be excited for the others sometimes I'm going through the same thinkg with SIL... Just try to stay focused and get your weight down so you'll get what you need from the doctors!
You got Salsacize? That's so cool! I got Carmen Electra's Fit to Strip! I must look ridiculous doing a strip tease at my weight but it's fun!

Sassy: Thanks for the well-wishes! We had a good Christmas, nobody killed each other anyway. I'll call that a success, lol.

Welcome Sarah!

I'll have to check back in later. I still haven't fed DS...oops! I was just excited to be able to post again!

Hey Ladies. Its me. Sorry I've been MIA. I have a really bad cold and I am lucky that I can make it to work everyday. :p I take medicine but I think its just going to have to run its course. But I wanted to pop in and say hi and let you all know I'm "still alive" lol.

Happy New Year to you all!!!!!!!!

Ladies, I'm sorry I haven't been around. It was a busy holiday. I waited until the last minute to do my shopping and it took me three days to do it. I had to take off work just to get it done. At least it's over for another year!!!:dizzy:

I got very off track for four days and didn't log anything I ate. I also ate anything and everything I wanted and didn't weight myself. :o Boy, was that a mistake. When I finally weighed the day after Christmas I was back up by 8 pounds!!:?:

Almost a week later of getting back on track and I am BELOW what I was before Christmas. Also, one more pound and I will have lost 20 pounds overall from my highest weight and 14.5 pounds from when I started phentermine. I've just got to stay on track and KEEP GOING!!:carrot:

Everyone: I hope everyone had a happy and safe Christmas. And I hope you have an outstanding New Year and wish you all the very best luck in the upcoming year for weight loss and conception!!

Teresa: I know exactly how you feel about your sister. It always seems to be everyone around you.

Sassy: Hope you getting to feeling much better!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!:hug:

Hey Girls

Just a quick one , i wanted to wish you all a happy new year. I have had a bug or something for a few days plus i think these pills are not helping the situation i am having a few side affects from them too and its all kinda mingling in together.
