    Hey guys. CD9 (38?) for me. POAS every day this month & trying to remember to take temps. I am determined to find out when I ov this month.
    BD every other day started CD 7 and will keep it up till af shows as think we stopped too early last month.
    Had a bit of a tough night last night. Went out with friends for a catch up & found out one of them is pg & engaged! :eek: They weren’t trying, she’d messed up taking her pill but hadn’t thought too much about it. I’m over the moon for her coz they are in the right place really and think an accident is the only way they’d ever have got round to it but obv its hard to hear people who aren’t even trying can manage it & we’re now on our 8th cycle.:o

    OH doesn’t want everyone to know we’re TTC but I ended up telling 2 of the girls last night as everyone was asking when we were going to have a baby & it was too hard to keep pretending like we’re not interested. Haven’t told the pg one, didn’t want her to feel she can’t talk about her news as its so exciting.:T
    I’m still very shocked and not sure why….guess I jst always thought I’d be next and it hit me quite hard esp as it was soo unexpected. Another friend is TTC from next week and it’ll be jst as hard if she falls quickly. But I don’t want to be the selfish friend who everyone tip toes around….need to just get over it and not wallow in self pity.
    [FONT=&quot]PMA PMA PMA, we might all be pg together & that would be so great [/FONT]:j

    Oh rubbish, a) so what if he tried at five, people's tastes change and b) speaking from experience, he's probably lying his @ss off! Sorry, but I've been there and not wanted people questioning me so I used to insist I'd tried stuff when I hadn't.

    His heart isn't the only part of his body that is effected by unhealthy eating habits. All that sugar could cause diabetes. Your GP will be clued up on all the health risks. WOuld he go with you to the GP's to discuss it? If not, you could tell him it was about TTC instead ;) and spring it on him then. He might listen more to a GP.

    Or, try getting his friends involved. I quite often find that my OH won't believe something I tell him, and then his mate/colleague/brother tells him exactly the same thing and suddenly he's taken it on board! :eek: Infuriating! But I guess sometimes people just need to hear certain things, from certain people.

    Other than that, there isn't much you can do. It's his life and his body, so he has to want to change himself. I'd keep pushing on the changing for the good of the family aspect. I bet you aren't a pushover, it's just hard in relationships balancing what you know is the right thing to do, without pushing the other person too much. It's a fine balance. ((HUGS))

    Ah supersize and superskinny! Love that show! You should totally enter him on the sly! hehehehehe :rotfl:

    Edit: You could always use me as an example of someone who WAS like him, but has managed to improve her eating habits and found that a lot of foods she thought she didn't like, she actually does. Change is scary, it might make him feel better to know he isn't the only person who's struggled with this stuff.


    He's too stubborn, his mum tries to help when we're together just ignores us all, lol. As of last week I have managed to get him taking multi vits, codliver Oil and Folic acid for TTC and wellbeing so I suppose that's a step forward!! We've made up this morning anyway ;)

    Didn't ov last cycle and doesn't look like I'm going to ov this cycle. I have had it before - just a pain in the backside short cycle. Last cycle was longer with light period and no ov. This one is short with no ov (and hopefully light period!)

    I thought it could be mid cycle spotting but it seems to be a bit more than spotting now iyswim. We'll see - onwards and upwards to next ov :o

    Could be ov spotting, I suppose...?!? When does spotting become light AF?!?

    If you could mentally add all the spotting and find it equals to one AF?:p

    Looking at your chart, you could've just ov'd?
