Now Im all confused because I thought it was raw fish in any form, in case it upset your stomach ... isnt that what they say?

I'm going to have to come up with an excellent excuse for not attention my best friends party and sending the DW instead in that case!

*mourns sushi loss*

I remember hearing that you could eat raw fish as long as it has been frozen before hand. You could always call the restuarant in advance and ask?

Awww BigZee. So sorry you're down. I know TTC can feel like a horrible treadmill at times. You've made fab progress with your weight loss so you are achieving lots even though you don't sound like you feel like it.

Thanks I was really impressed with myself at first, but now I've sort of plateaued for a few weeks, same clothes size etc, I don't feel like I've got very far. I need to crack on with it and see some more pounds (and inches hopefully!) drop and I think that will give me some more positivity back. Nothing like getting back into an old pair of jeans to lift the spirits I think once I've lost the 10% that's supposed to be helpful for restarting ovulation I'll feel better too, and that's approx half a stone away.:o Then the next one to crack is another BMI point, and then reaching the BMI that I think they'd accept for Clomid, and then keep going, obviously...

Sorry rambling now lol.

Is it true that you can't eat sushi when pregnant, or ttc???? I thought it was when you were pregnant?

It's most important because when the placenta is supporting them, which isn't til around 12wks iirc. Plus, I think sushi is like the runny eggs debacle - it's all about risk (of food poisoning I think) management - there's a small risk involved and it's up to you to decide whether it's a big enough one to avoid it Also remember that the eggy doesn't implant til nearly the end of 2ww, so it's not really taking anything from you til that point...? :cool: It's all about what you're comfortable with though. And maybe you could check out the menu in advance and pick out some things you could "safely" eat?

I had my internal scan this morning and the lady (who was so lovely) said that my ovaries do look like they belong to someone with PCOS.

boo hiss but at least you know what the score is now, and it's not a shock cos it's been suspected iyswim?

My PMA for today is that I'm amazed at how calm and laid back I was today about this scan. It was just over a month ago that I cried at my first smear test. I'm clearly getting tougher with all these undignified tests. Plus in comparison to the biopsy last week today was a walk in the park

:T

Have you considered going private to get the clomid?

It's in the back of my mind somewhere. In fairness I need/want to lose some weight anyway. If I was pregnant now (on BMI plus medical conditions I think) I'd be seen as a higher risk pregnancy, so that's not good for either of us (me or future bubs) and I'd like to get down under that higher BMI threshold before I took matters into my own hands iyswim?

I think I'm probably going to end up in the same situation as you. I have quite a lot of weight to lose and whilst I recognise the benefits of losing weight I do believe it will take me some time to reach BMI 30. I might consider going private when the time comes.

We can do it :j

Sending you more hugs anyway and I hope you're feeling a bit better today x x x

Thanks And thanks to everyone else who's said the same/similar

Me too! I was a little squiffy and was telling some of my friends about how my boobs got bigger due to the hormones and haven't gone down. I kept saying stuff like "oh look at my new big boobies":eek:
Oh well PMA at least I guess!

I finally got my bum to Weightwatchers last night again. In the 2 months I have given up smoking, I've put on a stone! :eek:

Well done on giving up though! Hubby has done 9 months now (and me, I used to sometimes be a social smelly back in the day ) and I'm so proud. When I met him he used to smoke over 30 a day! :eek:

Hugs BigZ, it must be soo frustrating when you've been trying a while and things aren't going right. I'm only on my second cycle and already starting to worry 'what if it doesn't work'!!!

Thanks, I'm very aware that it's not as long as either it could be or as some on here though It's not for want of trying though - I think me and DH are setting a record atm for DTD 7 days on the trot!!! :shocked:

:rotfl:Ooo-eer! No, I'd never get on a soapbox and rant about someone's choice of food while TTC/preggers, it's nothing to do with me! I hope sushi is OK though, I'd miss it a lot and I've already heard you can't have goat's cheese, brie or potato skins (apparently!)

I've just got a book too. I got one from the "for dummies" range. The one thing that I'm really happy about is finally understanding why I am often so tired and why I get faint. My books says that it's one of the symptoms of PCOS.

I'm going to start following a low GI diet too to try and lose lots and lots of weight. Finger crossed

Oooh I got the same book! Mine arrives next week sometime, used a gift voucher for it :money: I'm also going to demand a glucose tolerance blood test on Friday to confirm insulin resistance so that I have a valid medical reason to eat low carb/low gi diet. I've already had several family members telling me I'm either being 'silly', 'controlling' or 'kidding myself' by eating low carb :eek: And it doesn't make it easy when there's people around you saying 'one chip/mashed potato/chocolate/slice of cake' won't hurt!
