@seanbell nwannem nwayi.....I can't even say how happy I am to hear all the good news...
I am in a state of euphoria.

Reading all ur posts with a smile on my face(with the occasional bursts of lafter that confirms your return). Totally stalking ur diary too! I remember when you first wrote that letter....(((HUGS)))

@ipio. LWKMD!!!
I know the feeling. Sometimes I wonder why am not like shiloh or slimphemmie that are chasing after this same fat am trying to lose!

@udoka...no worry,my weigh-in date is next week Tuesday. I hope all dis sufa will pay off when I climb that scale.

Amen o @udoka...we will all testify even b4 the end of this year IJN...Amen!

@ipio..yes I was surprised that when I thot back I could remember what I ate. I think its because the meals were eaten in the middle of various activities so I just recalled wat I was eating when I was doing either this or that.
Then for the weekday meals, well everything fits into a plate that I open and eat from at intervals.Not enough food there so its easy to recall

Awwwww!! Sorry bout that. Let's pray that this cycle will be our last cycles before we get our BIG FAT POSITIVES....(**Dropping the babydust and carrying the baby(ies)**)

@udoka...don't feel bad. Thank God you asked for your blessing and it was given!
Recall the story of how Jacob wrestled with an Angel? (Gen 32:24). When he realised the identity of the person,he said 'I will not let you go unless thou bless me'
So u see, sometimes you may fight the person thru whom ur blessings are coming but so long as its your destiny den its never too late to ask!

@mamatriplet. You don take laf finish me for here!

@udoka...is Ipio is not cup-rate-ing! Das why the faya have off!

Hi Arlington, I have missed u terribly o!!!!!!
Why did u leave us for so long na? Atleast be checking in once a month so that the faith of the ladies will be strengthened!
We have missed u....I have missed u(((HUG))).How is your LO? Am sure he is running all over the place now.

@silent members.
Please dis call goes out to every MIA member of this thread....
Come in to say 'hi' once in everywhile.
Seanbell, where are you o? Even if its just a 'hi' you will say and go cos am actually worried!

@jessamy. Welcome to our thread. This thread is for ladies who are in God's waiting room and who wish to shed some weight to gain baby weight!
Incase what I said does not make sense to you, please check the health section and you will see another thread for weight watchers. Am pretty sure your question will be answered there.

@mamatriplets. Yes o!!!! Let's buddy up! I pray that this is the last cycle b4 our bfp!

Friday's log

Breakfast: 3 pieces of fried plantain and a forkful of moi-moi

Brunch: 3 pieces of fried plantain and a forkful of moi-moi

Lunch: half moi-moi and 2 pieces of plantain

Lundi: one moi-moi, 2 pieces of plantain and a small piece of beef

Dinner: half ripe plaintain and vegetable sauce

I feel so light! If only I can do dis all month long!At work I buy a plate of food then start eating it in small portions all day long.
A lot of dieticians and weight watchers swear by the 'six-small-meals' diet thingy and I hope they are right! I googled it, the results are supposed to be amazing cos it jumpstarts your metabolism and cause meals to be processed very quickly without depositing in fat zones!
Am not only doing this for ttc but to make sure that in this race for baby, my bory will still be doing dh paulina paulina!

@ipio. Amen!!!!
Meanwhile here is yesterday's log

Breakfast: two forkfulls of boiled yam

Brunch: a forkfull of yam, a tablespoon of vegetable and a one leafwrapped moi-moi

Lunch: two forkfull of yam and half of another moi-moi

Lundi: half moi-moi, a forkful of yam,a tablespoon of vegetable and one small beef.

Dinner: playfully putting small small rice from dh's food into my mouth!(What God has joined together,let no diet put asunder)

It all looks like much I know but what I actually did was to get a plate of food and eat it all day long. Something like that six-small-meals diet thingy..but I don't promise to keep it up o!

@udoka. I dey fear to know my bmi so i neva calculate am.

On the clomid dose...u know me and doctors,when he first prescribed bromo and clomid, I asked if the side effects will affect my job and he advised me to take the clomid one in the morning and the last in the night with the bromo.

So far am not feeling side effect but if its better to take both at once woh I will join them together as from tomorrow o?
Shey taking two at once then won't have any adverse effect since I'd have taken one each the day before?

I'll google it still though but am gonna follw ur advice. Worst case I proceed on vacation if the symptoms get too much to bear.
Am happy we have people to talk to here o! Some things I get to know, I won't find it by just googling...
Thanks udoka for havin my back!

@slimphemmie our Lepka shandy. When the Lord says yes, who is it that can say no?NOBODY!!
He has said yes in your case so it is settled in heaven. All u need to do is chill and wait for the earthly manifestation to show face!
And because of the past neg tests that ended up a mc,pls intensify prayers that this missed period will be the Bfp you have been waiting for.
Forget hpt and blood test,when u have missed it for 12weeks, go for your scan and believe by faith that you will see ur baby. This I pray through Jesus Christ our Lord!

@all I am ready for this weekend!
As it is, AF has already started so I am ready with my clomid-the correct dose this time!

@udoka, I was at the clinic and saw a young lady carrying her baby boy. The first thought that entered my head was 'this baby looks like Udoka'!
Then I started to reason with my self that I don't know udoka's shape size or face cos I haven't seen her b4 so that must either be the cocktail of drugs talking or pesin don dey kolo!
But I claimed it for you that may u have a baby sooner than you expect!

Lol @udoka!
Can u help me to see??Me I dey find her weight, she dey complain
Anyway am currently 82.5 courtesy of clomid (cos I noticed weight gain last month),hence the desire to shed some pounds!
Oh and by the way, today is CD1......I am armed with a brand new pack of clomid.

I have realised what made take the clomid wrongly. The doctor wrote 1 tab to be taken twice daily from day 2 x 5days.
Naim my tired mind promptly did the mumu 5-2 maths!(I assure you that on a good day, I can solve simple maths equations)

Anyway e don pass! This month's gonna be my month by fire by force!!!

Please o! The fact that we can rant and rave is the essence of this thread!
Although I suspect that I have a stalker, if the person no show face,den I no send am! And if I find that its making me not wanna update, den I change to another username and tell my sisters here privately (subtle advice for Aladunni )!

That's me sha! Cos the alternative (losing my friends on this thread) is not even thinkable!
But na wa o! (Shudders) am just imagining what I'll do if an enemy knows my ID on NL...

I and dh have agreed that when I have my bfp, I'll only tell you all in the first couple of months. But if the wrong person knows my ID, will I update only when I want that person to know or use another username to give my testimony and send private mails to y'all?

Anyway Tufiakwa!Olorun maje!for onye ojo to know my username or any other of my name for that matter!

Ipio as I dey here so, am still trying to gather courage to do the all-day-long-fruit-diet o!
Its not easy dear....done it b4 for a whole month and quite frankly, I am not looking forward to it!

Meanwhile this is so helpful. Just because I have to come and post here,am typing in the room as dh is eating!(U know... 'resist the ----- and it shall flee', 'avoid temptation and thou shalt not fall', 'if ur left throat is making u fat don't stay near the food', 'don't do longer throat tins cos it'll make u fat', etc)

@ipio.
No shakes...so long as u start it!

Cramps still at it....waiting for AF with mixed feelings. The good part of which is that I get to restart my clomid the right way again.

ipio: @ RocksQueen, am on CD 20, lets start 2morow, ur routine is ok by me but pls I suggest we reduce d fruit diet to two days cos d last time I tried d fruit diet for a day,it was not easy atall. Waiting 2 hear from u.

Cool then! Although I already started last nyt with a meal of boiled plantain.
So from today we will be off carbs for two days. Is it okay if we choose any two days of the week for the carb free days and any two for the fruit diet?

Please reply
Meanwhile here is my log
Last night:
Boiled plantain and vegetable/egg sauce.

Breakfast: NIL (OMG I just remembered that I haven't taken my Met)!!!

Yes o! It shall come to pass in this season for all of us IJN...amen!

Sometimes I ask myself why me?
But I know that my Redeemer lives and he says "Peace! Be still!" I just need to stand still and see His glory.

"You may be down, and feel like God has somehow forgotten......
....that you are faced with circumstances you cannot get through.
And right now it feels like there's no way out and you're going under.
But God's proven time and time again, He will take care of you"

I love this song...it gives me hope!

@Mstia. Long time no hear. Please don't be a stranger o! How did u lose weight when on Metformin then sef?

@ipio. Am on CD 25 and am already feeling mild cramps.
As for the clomid, no effects at all except that I feel like am putting on weight. Then again, it must be all the rice and eba and bread
I will start dieting tomorrow.

What do u suggest we do this time?
Should we do a fruit diet for 3days every week den stay off carbs for 2days everyweek. That's 5days...cos weekends may be a challenge.
What do u suggest?

I am tired of eating carb based meals! Am hungry this morning but I seem to be eating a lot of carbs of late!
Currently feeling carbed out!

Let's start this dieting again na? This guilty-feeling-after-a--meal is driving me nuts!

ebony13:
@ Rocksqueen...yes o we are metformin buddies. I'm on 1000mg.I'm afraid to increase it yet, inshort not in the next one week! I went as high as 2000mg previously and i didn't need a soothsayer to tel me i was going to stop it the next day! The side effects were out of this world, i threw up everything that entered mymouth plus the headache and terrible nausea. My dear it wasn't easy, but I'm coping very well on 1000mg no effects sinx i restarted it.Halleluyah!

These our cycles must end in bfp by fire by faith!

Amen!!!
Pele bout d effect of the drug dear. U got me cracking with ur post. I can't wait for all of us to have testimonies!

@alwaystrue (hugss) thanks!
@pink and shiloh....maybe some hormones are emitted that are perceived in their subconsciousness.Lol!

shiloh: @Flakeey...I no get choice na!

@Rocksqueen..u knw dis!! If it's possible dat way I will gladly opt for it. Lol!

DH was nt even feeling too well..he was down wit flu so couldn't get to DTD dat day bt managed to coarse and seduce him ysday. I just dey pity am.

My problem nw is dat its during d 2ww dat he won't let me rest .

OH MY.....!Tell me about it! Do you know how many times I have complained about THAT here??
Infact its like we have different body clocks. Last cycle I surmised that it must be cos of the bigger bossoms, either that or God is trying to tell me something about my timing!
Choi! And during bd I will be praying that the motion or heavenly feeling doesn't vibrate the uterus to remove any implanted egg (I know Udoka will laf at me again. ).
In God we trust sha....I pray that if we are dtd let nothing spoil any bfp in the making.

(I noticed that these days I type in Nairaland grammar LMAO!Sometimes I even tell dh 'fluid' or 'bossom' when I want to code from people)

@ebony..so we are metformin and clomid buddies then. How are u responding to the met? For me, it was only last night that I felt funny again. I was hot and cold and nauseous. I didn't understand myself so what I did was to climb back into bed with dh and close my eyes tight till I went back to sleep.

@shiloh..lol! Yes it happens to me sometimes too and then the cramps will be so bad that I begin to wonder whether its possible for dh to do the job outside and insert it inside.

@ udoka. You are so right!@all our preggy mamas...please always come in. Like I always say, you will understand what we are going through better and have answers to some of our questions.

I so look forward to several of us moving on at about the same time so that the family stays together.

@hebrew woman. Please eat whatever is good for the baby and leave weight watching for now..we will welcome u back to the WL thread with wide open arms.

@champs this's so generous of u..you have increased my faith by sight! That is so sweet,am touched.and yeah that's a cutie right there. Can't wait to join u hon.
