Ovulex

Mummy2chloe

hello chicken i am feeling alot better today it sounds like you are totally on my wave lengh of thinking its nice when someone understands. what you were saying about not being pregers it is so annoying when people say just relax it will happen or dont think about it so much how can you not when its the one thing you want more than anything and as to the AF reminding you everytime you go to the toilet that is hard as when i had to go into the hospital to give birth to brooklyn they put these tablets up me and she said when you start bleeding it means things are starting to happen so i went to the toilet and on my way there was a bunch of healthy pregnant people having a hospital tour to see where they will be going when they give birth anyway i went to the toilet and they smiled at me and i thought i am not hear for a good reason so i went to toilet and saw the blood and all i wanted to do was curl in a ball and cry but no i could see a the bottom of the door shadows and hear the people who were on there tour so i held it in and now when i have my af all i think about is that and the fact i havent falen again. god it is hard when i think in detail of what i had to go though it was a long few months of scans appointments and the birth and then the funeral and that i just wish it was somehting i never had to do. i went to my sisters last night and i told her a few things she forgot it was brooklyns due date so did dh but she helped alot also felling so down about my weight my sister said i sound like i am full of guilt and blaming myself for absoultly everything and sound loney which i am not but at the same time i feel like i try to deal with things on my own if that makes sense but she is gonna diet with me which will help and i will go and buy some O tests today as i will be O soon so hopefully i will fall this month. sorry to rave on again anyway i am also hear for you if you are feeling crapy about your cycle not working it is so dissapointing and like you say people really dont help with there insensitive comments they proably mean well but they just dont understand. i had better go as i am finnishing work now so have to take puppy for walk and then get harvey from school speak soon lovey.

hi munchy and mummy2chloe,

i havent been ignoring your posts i check them in my inbox a few times a week. i'm not good at expressing my feelings even when the thoughts are in my head, they come out all wrong. so, i thought i would take a back seat and just think of you in my prayers. i realy do hope you feel better soon.

i hav an appt on friday with the infertility specialist so i thought i would be prepared and take a hpt and i couldn't beleive it when it was positive. i had all the dates planned in my head for when to start my injections and when i would ovulate it came as a massive shock. i still can't really beileve it i feel as though i am going to wake up any minute! i went for a blood test yesterday and that confirmed i am about 3-4 wks. i go again on friday to make sure my hormones are doing the right thing.

i pray that this has cheered you up rather than upset you, only i know too well your happy for other people but it hurts more inside. im sorry guys i feel guilty but i felt i had to tell you.

i hope you have a great well desrevd holiday mummy2chloe.

take care

Dear munchy, I gotta tell ya, I'm following this thread with interest--
Have you actually started the Ovulex yet? And if so, how is it going--like are your cycles more regular, etc.
I just started taking Optivite this week. It's a multivitamin especially for women to make their cycles more regular. But this is NOT an endorsement, because I don't know if it's working yet, LOL!
(I'm waiting for AF #2 after MC and my temps are all over the place this cycle). Good luck to everybody.

hey munchy,

thanks, i'm so glad your okay ill be :pray: for you both nxt month you will see a :bfp: and happiness will def come your way.

i've had blood test to check my hormones are doing the right thing ill get my results later today so :crossfingers: my body's working.

got to go now im taking care of my neice for a while so handsful.

hey munchy and sofy

I am back from holidays and OH MY GOD sofy that is so great darling i am so so so happy for you sweet, i want to hear all the details, how far are you? are you feeling ms yet?? wow this is so awesome my love, now dont you go away and leave us just cos your preggers we still want to hear from you and with any luck having you in hear might rub off on munchy and i and we might get pregnant :dance:

munchy

how did you go at the dentist honey?? hopefully its all fixed for you now? i hate dentist aswell. i think the diet that your on is the same the my dp is on and he has lost 6 kilos so far, and he doesnt seem to be struggling with it at all, he loves all the flavors of the shakes and stuff so thats a good thing, and absolutely loves the bars they give you, he said he could eat them all day he isnt real keen on the soups though, so he just has his 2 shakes and a meal. so how are you going with it??

was so nice to get away for a few days, we took dd to dreamworld and she had the best time, plus we went to the big shopping centres and oh my god i just couldnt believe how many shops there were, and to see all the big buildings when we were driving around, it was just so great, cos we are from the country we dont have big buildings or huge shopping malls, i was like a kid in a candy shop, but it was lots of fun, spent to much money and ate lots of junk food but it was all worth it. anyway i better go unpack

take care

Hi girls sorry i havent replied for a while i was signed off work from docs cos of my rsi in my hand i so wished i had a laptop on my week off i would have been on hear all day ha ha well forst of all

TM - i started ovulex 3 months ago and it has definatly made a change in my cycles it has made them regular and they are not heavey anymonre and last for 5 days instead of 7 to 8 so thats good and i had a hormone test done at docs and everything is good there as well just waiting on the results to see if i am ovulating now but i think ovulex are good i just wish they would get me pregnant.

Sofy - how did the blood test go honey also like mummy2chloe said tell us everything how far gone you are etc hope it is all going well for you.

Mummy2chloe - sounds like you had a real good time away as to big buildings and that we have loads of them hear we never used to but where i live is changing rapidly its know as the new city where everyone wants to go i hate it though i prefer it to be quite i dont like busy places. funny how us girls love shopping ah i am the same i have almost finnished my christmas shopping i am a very organised person alot of them are wrapped up as well i cant wait to put my tree up on sat 1st dec i got harvey a little one for his bedroom he is so excited to put it up bless him everything he sees on telly at the min he wants for christmas i just sit there and say ok we will have to see what santa brings for you. my dentist trip was ok had my filling they numbed my face which felt really weird but at least it is over with now wasnt half as painful as what i thought it would be. as to diet was going well i dont really like the shakes but love the bars and the soups i fell of it on weekend i might go back to doing the slimming world diet as it suits me better i think my problem is sticking to anything but as to excersise i have been doing an extra 7 hr walking a week so surely that will help i dont have any scales to weigh myself i will have to go buy some. so did you get any christmas bits when you were away with all them big shops around?

Dear munchy, sorry to hear you weren't well lately. Hope you're feeling better.

You're probably going to get weary of reading my questions, but I had to ask. Does the doctor know you're on ovulex? and If so, when are you supposed to go off it? The reason I ask is because you said there were herbs in it and I was wondering if any of them are bad for baby and if you have to stop taking it right after you ovulate or if it's safe through your whole pregnancy...

Hi Tm

the ovulex i got them shiped over from america and they are all herbal i only told my doctor about them 2 wks ago as i was having a hormone test so thought i had better tell him but he didnt really say anything about them also you take 2 everyday an hour before bed and if you were to fall pregnant then you stop taking them. i dont think there is anything that will harm your baby but i am not 100% i just no that the herbs help your body get ready for pregnancy such as hormones and make you ovulate for longer hope that has helped a bit i you can ask as many questions as you like i dont mind. so are you thinking of getting some?

Munchy xxx

hi ladies,

i got my blood reports bcak on friday it seems im 5wks and my hormones are doing what they should, which is a relief. ive got a scan boked in for friday 30th nov. im already on bed rest soim bored out my brains. i've asked dh to buy me a laptop so i'm not so bored. sopke to the prematurity prevention clinic doctor and i'll be booked in for a cervical cerclage within the next 6 weeks.

enough about me! hope you ladies are well. how are you xmas preparations getting on, not long left.

take care, ill keep you updated as and wheni can.

hey girls

sofy thats great new on bt results, thank you so much for coming back in and letting us know how you are going, we are always thinking about you and are so very happy for you my sweet, now you rest up and cant wait to hear from you soon

Munchy how are you going hun?? most of my chrissy shopping is on layby i have almost finished paying them off ( 2weeks should be all paid for) and i will then wrap them all up, i cant wait. i have started to really put on the weight lately most of my cloths are starting to get tight, i am wearing dp shirts to hide my fat ha haha i am a sor tof disappointed at myself as i worked so hard to lose the 25kilos and now i have gone and put 10kilos back on, but it feels that i am in the spot that i just dont care right now, i sort of hate my body , sick of it failing everytime iukwim but then i am sick of always worrying about my weight and for the last 2 mths its been great as i ate what i wanted and it felt good not to be worrying all the time about my weight, but now i feel like sh*t cos i have put on weight, look and feel terrible hahah ahhhh its a cruel cycle isnt it. anyway enough about that, its my birthday in 3 weeks and cant wait, we are going out for dinner and i am having lots and lots of drinks he he he plus i think we are planning on going away for the night which will be soooo nice. what are you guys doing for chrissy?? are you going away of staying home?? we are going to my sisters who just lives outside of town so it will be nice not having to travel.

tempus moriendi how are you going?? how is the Optivite treating you? do you think its helping you with your cycles?? i wonder if its got the same sort of ingrediants in them as ovulex??

take care girls

SOfy - glad to hear bt was good and make sure you rest up like docs say just think before you no it you will be holding your beautiful baby and hopefully by that time us other girls will be preggers.

Mummy2chloe
i am so excited about christmas im not sure what you mean by layby but i take it its like a thing where you pick the pressies pay them off then recevie them or am i wrong sorry just never heard of it before ha ha. sorry to hear you are feeling crapy about your weight i can say i definatly no how you feel on that front it would be so nice to be able to eat what we want without having to worry about piling on the pounds ah. and you are so right it is such a visous cycle i hate the way i look right now i would do anything to feel attractive again and get my confidence back i have quite low confidence and self esteem at the min i always say to hubby that i feel like i look like a man i no its sounds funny but i do i saw my councellor last week i thought it would be my last session and she turns round and says i am suffering with deppresion i didnt think i was there was a few times where it crossed my mind so i was telling my sis and she said we have known that for ages you have been like it since loosing the baby i said why didnt anyone mention it to me she said we thought you new anyway i dont no what to do about it now i dont feel bad all the time but when i do have a down day i get really down and want to be on my own and then my anixioty comes out has anyone else got this? soprry to rave on honey. So its your birthday in 3 weeks i bet you cant wait what day is you actual birthday sounds like you will have a nice day will be nice to stay away for a night and do some baby making ha ha. also christmas day i have my dad and sis with her bf and her kids all coming over for dinner so that will be nice gonna stay home all day and just enjoy watching harvey play with his toys and then do visits on boxing day and usaly my friends come see harvey on boxing day to give him his pressies i have got him loads this yr but to be honest i buy him stuff all the time i never used to my councellor said i am over compensating because of loosing brooklyn i must admit when i lost her a week after i took harvey to toys r us and spent about £100 on toys for him as it made me feel better anyway i will stop now keep babling on.

munchy: I was surprised to hear that Ovulex is made in America--that's where I live! Actually, I think a lot of docs are still very ignorant about herbs and what they can do. But every once in awhile you find one who's quite savvy. And yes, I might try Ovulex some time. I just like hearing what other women use and how it works for them.
btw, when you said about buying your son a bunch of new toys after your loss, I totally understood. Obstetric loss makes you appreciate more what you already have.

sofy: I can understand your boredom. But you know it's for a good cause. After the cerclage, will you be allowed to resume your normal activities?

mummy2chloe: I started taking the Optivite a week and a half into this cycle, so it's too early to tell how it's working. It's supposed to be especially good for women who have short luteal phases, and I've only had two days of elevated temps so far (you know--elevated temps after you ovulate should last 14 days then AF starts). My other issue is my mucus drying up 5 days before my temp goes up, so I seem to be very out of sync. On the other hand, I'm only taking one Optivite a day (recommended dose is 2-6/day) because I wanted to see if I had any weird reactions to it--I'm also on synthroid for my thyroid. When AF starts I will up the dose to 2 a day. No, it doesn't have any herbs, just loads of vitamins and minerals and nutrients.
btw, I know how frustrating the whole weight loss roller coaster can be. Good luck with it all, but remember, people can love you just the way you are (to quote Mr. Rogers) even if your body isn't the "perfect" weight!!!

hey munchy

sorry i sometimes forget that we are in different countries he he he, layby is exactly what you said, pick something pay it off then pick it up. sorry to hear that your suffereing from depression my darling :hug: are they going to put you on depressants?? i suffered pnd ( Post natal depression) after chloe was born but never relised i had it till she was almost 6mths old, i didnt feel in myself depressed or anything, i loved my daughter and was so happy and blessed that i had finally had a child, the only sign i had was i couldnt stop crying but i thought it was because of all the hormones and just everything catching up with me, i went to gp and he said that depression comes in all different signs, he put me on 50mg of zoloft and the change in me after about a week was amazing and yes my anxiety was pretty bad before i went to doctor, i was always scared that i was going to do something wrong, like when i dress her i was worried i would hurt her and stuff like that but once i was on the tablets things settled down so much.
Please let me know how you go, i will always be here for you if you need to talk.
My birthday is on the 20th december and i truely cant wait to get away for the night and go out for dinner, its going to be nice.
i know what you mean about buying stuff for the kids when they probably dont need it, i am always buying chloe stuff and honestly she is spoilt i know it but i just cant help it, it does make you feel better.

tempus moriendi with any luck now that you know that you wont suffer any side effects from the Optivite your next cycle you can up the dose and it might start working things out for you, so can you take optivite and ovulex at the same time?? maybe that might help??? really hope you receive a bfp very soon. do you have any kids already??

TM - its funny that there from america and you didnt know i am from england and they dont do them over hear the only way to get them is on the net but not sure if they do them in shops in america. well i really hope ovulex works and hope that your optivite works and we get our BFP i just cant wait for that day its seems hard to imagine that i will ever be pregnant again.

Mummy2chloe
Yeh i was right with the layby thing i forget we are in different contries at times but then i dont think there is many people from england on this site i no that sofy is but thats all i no of. about the depression i didnt think i was depressed either i no i am alot more short tempered and have my down days i just thought it was to do with the loss of brooklyn and it was just me grieving but saying that my mum had depression at my age which is weird but i no it can run in the family im not sure what to do about it yet as i havent told my doc that my councellor said that i really dont want to take tablets if i am TTC but i really want to feel better in myself i will have to speak to docs and see what they say. so birthday is 20th i asked cos my dads is on the 17th so is you star sign a sagaterius cos thats what my dad is i am a taurus and a typical one ha ha. i hope your birthday is good my dad has harvey friday night so me and DH are getting a curry and a film and have a cosy night in i am due on around then so no baby making unfortunatly. and about buyong kids toys i am so bad i will have to stop it cos i dont want him to turn out a spoilt brat at the min i spoil him so much but i dont want him to get to a teenager and think he can have everything so i will try and put my foot down a little bit with it. also i am so excited about saturday gonna put chirstmas tree up when do you put yours up on the 1st as well.

Munchy xxx

munchy

my dads birthday is on the 17th too ha ha ha and yeah my dad and i are both sagaterius. we usually put our tree up on the 1st dec but we just couldnt wait so we put it up the other day. as for depression i am pretty sure there are some anti depressants that you can take that are safe while ttc ( i think there is but not quiet sure) just have a good old talk to your gp and tell them what your councellor said and try and work out something that you can take that is safe whilst ttc.
that is so good that your dad is going to take harvey for you guys so you can get out for a while, i really hope you have a lovely night, its always nice to go out everynow and then.

take care
