Hi everyone, hope things are going well. Love the mammoth posts everyone so here's another one..
Happy Birthday Satya! Its nice that your work folk made a fuss with a cake. V sweet. Hope you had a good day.
Rachael - IKWYM, I struggle to keep up too. So much happens in a day to so many ppl. BTW were you temping before your D&C?
Bun - *Hugs* belated. Just read about you crossing your EDD. These shows should come with warnings! Don't know exactly what's happening over there with big brother & a girl who MCed, but it seems really heartless for a show to exploit someone's pain. I wouldn't like that at all. And how rude of the nurse at the clinic. You'd think her job would require more sensitivity.
But funny about the legs in the air business. I did read somewhere that lying on your back, pelvis raised and doing a cycling motion with your legs can help. Never tried it for fear of freaking out DH!
Salt - You're so close to testing! Yay! Be strong girl, you can do it. Got my fingers crossed for you. I'm try not to test until after I miss my period for 5 days. I think if I have a chemical pregnancy, I don't want to know about it. But I don't know if I can manage to wait that long.
jenjams - I understand that you don't want to get excited... but how can you not? Dunno, not there yet.
Heidi - Congrats about the wedding. Hopefully that'll keep you busy for a while. It must be tough though having a constant reminder that you're not pg like your friend. And frustrating cos you can't even do something about it right now. But maybe... you could be in the same situation as Lee.
Lee - you and your dh could always sneak off for quickie between the ceremony & the reception! I think that's really kinda romantic.
Shoegal - Welcome and I'm sorry for your loss. My AF returned 31 days after my D&C, which was my cycle before. But I don't really know the average. I hope it is short for you so that you can get back on the wagon.
Alex - Maybe the second AF will be heavier & maybe the second month you will have a better rebuilt lining? I read somewhere that heavier is better? Don't really know, but I'm sorry it didn't stick for you *hug*
Patience - IKWYM about becoming addicted to reading everyone's posts. I unsubscribed, cos I was spending too much time on it, but then found myself logging on to read it anyway.
About the green tea, my sister-in-law, who's a doc, stopped drinking it when she was ttc. Well chinese green tea anyway, because apparently it has a lot of caffeine. Having said that it is ok to drink 3 cups of coffee a day when pg. No idea about when ttc. But she doesn't drink any coffee so maybe it was just her choice, not a medical reason.
And with the low dose asprin, how does that help? My parents suggested I take it when ttc after my d&c (in a typical you could do things better kind of way, though not really, I think they were just trying to help, but I don't think I took it very well). I googled it & only looked at the gov sites and the BBC. I got the impression that it can be detrimental when ttc & in the 1st trimester. But is sometimes prescribed by Ob for 3rd trimester. And got the idea that you shouldn't take it unless prescribed? I always thought that aspirin thins your blood, so I thought that you wouldn't really want that when ttc?
About me - I'm trying really hard not to be nuts about all this. Before getting pg the 1st time, I didn't really pay any attention to all this stuff. Just went off the pill, cut down on alcohol & kept track of AF. Now, I want to temp, I want to test, I want to know what's going on, and I really want it to happen. I wish I could relax, and not care so much, like before. I just feel so neurotic.
Sorry to anyone I missed. Our pc is also our TV and DH is getting impatient
