Hello everyone!
Just wanted to drop by and say Hi to all and wish all you very deserving women BFP'S this month:pray:
As you all know U/S went well yesterday and baby is in the right place...
BabyFever - I also see a herbalist and take 12 vitamins a day also drink the gross herbs twice a day....but it seems to be working for me
and I do think I rattle when I walk, get a little over all the pill popping but it's for a good cause:cryinglaugh:
All the best ladies:pray:
JOey- Sometimes I think I do just like Larz says. That or when I pop one it sounds like a cork blowing out of a champain bottle.. :rofl:.. I must say everything that the acupunter gives us no matter 30 pills a day or not they work lol. IT has been getting more difficalt to swallow Im having to use apple sause..
Lars- I feel you on the whole rattle thing. My goodness.. He said he wants me to be on liquid too, I'm on this stuff for pain -> down below it is, This is number 1.
Antitiox- It helps Ovulation cramps and AF cramps.. 10 drops every hour, Its got cherry plum, Impatiens, Star of Bethlehem, Clenatis, Rock rose, Aonitum Napllus, Apis Mellefica, Arnica Montana, Belladonna, Bryonia alba, Bellis Perennis, Chamomilla, Colocynthis, Dulcammara, Eupatorim Phosphoricum, Histaminum, Asenicum Album, Celendula Officinals, Echinacea Purpurea, Echinacea Aungustifolia, Hammamelis Viginiana, Hypericum Perforatum, Syphytum Officinaus, Millefoourm, Rhus Toxicodendron, Sulphur, and 20% ALCOHOL.
Babyfever - I like the apple sauce idea. I had never thought of that. My DD sometimes has trouble if she needs a panadol. I'll try that with her next time ... and may be with me if I get to that, depending on what the acupuncturist gives me.
Ladies - just wanted you to know that I won't be ignoring you for the next few days. We are travelling interstate tomorrow and will be back sometime Tuesday - during which time I'm not relying on having internet access. I wish everyone optimum health while I am away and look forward to more good news from you all on my return :pray:
:grouphug:
BabyFever - I love the apple sauce idea too, I will try it tonight.
Not sure what my hebal drink has in it. The first one I was drinking was to clean out my tube,(I say tube cause I only have one now) it must have worked since the sac passed through it this time. I now drink another herbal mixture that supports the pregnancy. Think I'm getting used to the horrible taste, helps to know it's actually supporting a baby:pray:
Can't believe yours has 20% alcohol in it!!
:pray: you get your wish this month
Jen - What's going on? No temp added today yet???? Is it even Thursday there yet? It just occured to me, may be that's why there's no data for Thursday :doh:
POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS POAS :dance:
Well ladies i'm still sat here waiting and going crazy :p. How can they expect you to wait this long and not know!:wall:
i've now started feeling really sick , either i've eaten something dodgey or it's a good sign.
i didnt get any sickness at all with my previous Pregnancy so i dont know what to think.
I've been doing a few bits of reseach on the net into HCG levels, and according to this, if am pregnant it puts me at about 5 weeks, which sounds about right.
I so hope the outcome is positive when i visit docs next week :pray:
Hope everyone else is ok :-)
fifi - Hang on in there honey. You sure you can't call the dr again and check you can't get in any sooner?? That's what I'd be doing. :hug:
This website is a good one for hormone levels during pregnancy... FertilityPlus: Hormone Levels & Fertility Bloodwork
My normal doc is on holiday (How dare he!) and i really dont want to go in and see the locum after the way she was with me on the phone getting my results, she had me in tears. was so insensitive its unreal! so i'd rather wait for my normal one. so hopefully fingers crossed on tuesday i can get in, and get some proper answers from him, but the waiting game is killing me!:wall:
Evening all,
Ruthie - thanks for the cake...... it looked gorgeous. 8 wks already - awesome, so excitied for you
Babyfever - bugger about the BFN's but as suggested maybe wait a few more days before testing (if you can bear it)
Joey - can I be frank..... you seem to be chopping and changing your approach every single month based on people's and internet opinions. These girls here are fabulous dont get me wrong but our bodies are all very different, are you going to see the FS again?? Maybe you should see what she thinks cause she's the expert and would know your body better than we would.... does that make sense????? I am scared for your body just freaking out with all the changes each month. Has the FS done full blood work on you to test all your hormones? Has DH sperm been tested? Maybe that needs to be investigated first to determine the best treatment. I hope I haven't offended you - I just hate seeing you get disappointed each month :hug:
Jen - nearly the weekend - still holding out for HPT or have you caved again:p
AFM - DH did his :bd: with the jar bless his cotton socks
Have further appt with gyno for all the results next thurs or fri
Friday tomorrow - yayayayayayay - cant wait to sleep in on the weekend as I am soooo tired :asleep:
Joey - How weird it must have felt for you to be welcoming AF. I'm so happy to see you being so positive and "knowing!" that this is the last time AF will be visiting you for a long time to come. You're such a gorgeous person :hug:
PS. I love the acupuncture :)
Easha - How did your DH go with "the jar"? I hope you weren't jealous ;) Hehehe.
Mollycat - I'm going to laugh if your temp is 36.3 tomorrow!!!
Plc - Enjoy your trip! We'll miss you!!
Larz - Good luck with your results
Jen Nuff - The calender is going very well! The abstaining is in process at the moment (just for DH, I can do as I please hehehe). Well, I think it's happening... I guess I can't monitor him all the time, lol.
I'm getting an avatar too! I messaged Astrolady about my membership so that she can help me sort things out :)
Angel Nuff - OMG, I saw the funniest thing and I thought of you! But I can't tell you because it's a secret :ROFL: Don't worry though, you'll see soon. *mwaahhh*
AFM - I noticed that there has been a bit of talk about children on medication, and I just wanted to mention that I have two brothers that have been on medication since they were about 6. They are my younger twin brothers and one was diagnosed with ADD and severe learning difficulties, and the other was diagnosed with ADHD and slight asperger's disorder (and later with possible slight OCD and bi-polar tendencies). I wanted to stress that sometimes medication is the BEST option for some children. My brothers had major problems as children. One developed severe depression and self confidence issues due to an inability to learn that was a direct result of his inability to concentrate caused by the ADD. The other had huge behavioural issues due to the inability to concentrate, lack of focus, and due to his advanced learning which left him bored in class.
The decision to put them on medication was not taken lightly by my parents and many MANY options were exhausted first. We went tried counselling, naturopath, dietician, kinesiology, chiropractor, hand-eye-coordination programs, "special" school, homeopathy, sub-conscience reinforcement, and aromatherapy. None made any difference.
The choice to put them on medication was the best thing my family ever did. Their self confidence went up and they were not only able to concentrate at school, but were able to finish high school and both have gone on to do further studies at the tertiary level. They both turn 20 next month and one still chooses to take his medication, while the other one made the decision to trial stopping his medication about 2 weeks ago.
Just wanted to share my story because I'm pretty passionate about it. I'm pretty sure one of my brothers would have suicided without his meds.
Easha! Lol! I thought me and one of my bosses were the only people in the world to say "bless their cotton socks"!!! :ROFL: !
Hi Gurlies...I just wanted you to know I am here lurking...I want to know who gets the BFPs! I am doing fine with the decision I have made..I am just not sure I need to be posting on a TTC website when technically I'm not...but I'm lurking so what ever you write I'll see. Be good!
jen...not sending "happy mornings" has been very difficult to say the least...LOL
:pink-babydust::bluedust:
:stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy:
larz & fifi-- Sending bucket loads of :stickyvibesgirl: :stickyvibesboy:
plc--Hope you enjoy your trip! Be safe and have a great time, we'll be thinking of you and missing you! Take care of that little :babygirl:
joey & Easha-- No POAS for me... temp keeps dropping, so I won't be too surprised if/when AF comes knocking. Just going to leave it alone and see where it goes from here! Oh, and Easha, your DH is such a trooper--hope he gets some great results!
mollycat--I'm keeping my eye on your chart to see if your mirror image pattern continues! ;)
Oh, joey, I forgot to ask you... did you take the progesterone before O, or after? I read that using prog before O can create a hormonal signal that tells your brain not to O--maybe that's why my dr. said I had to have a BFP before he would put me on the prog.--he said the same thing, that taking it before could actually cause fertility issues! Did you ever call and confirm that you should take it before your BFP, cuz I thought I remembered you saying that he said to take it after??? Maybe I'm just confused... :dunno: And thanks for the info on OPK's as HPT's--I was just asking someone the other day if an O strip could detect pg'cy!
Krystie--Can't wait to see our avatars!!! :cheer: I'll look into the travel agent thing later on today for your trip out here! Is it ok for me to give your e-mail address out to an agent if necessary?
I just wanted to give my input on the whole medication theory... My oldest DS has been on meds for years for ADD. The school he went to in first grade actually brought up the notion that he had a problem... had to take him to a therapist who confirmed that she thought he had ADD--not the hyperactive one, but the unattentive one. I've always hated the fact that he has to take meds, especially given what it is, but when we've tried to take him off them, his grades go down. He's always had confidence issues, is very distractable, can't focus and is unable to concentrate without the meds--and his school work proves that without the meds he'll get lost and left behind--which will only make his confidence in himself that much lower! His father had learning issues, and I'm convinced that I had ADD as a child--and still have some of the same tendencies as an adult, that DS has! So while there may be some negatives that come with being on the meds, the positives far outweigh the negatives--at least in my DS's case. To each his own, I guess....
smilanatu--You don't have to be TTC in order to say good morning and keep in touch! You're a member of the family--TTC or not! :hug: The whole point of the thread is to support and be supported by the friends that you've made! :grouphug:
Fif- Yeah every pregnancy is differant, I never had Morning sickness with my first 2 pregnancys (my girls), And last month when I was pregnant I did have it (lost the baby at 6 weeks 1 day).
ATM- I think I may know whats going on with my body. either 1) I'm going to get AF right on time 2) The + Ovulation test I had yesterday and Tuesday are when I Oed instead of the first time I had a + which was 9 days ago or so, and somehow my body geared up for O but never released the first time but is now. My cervix was WAY too open for AF expechally since there was no blood yesterday, And its now closed back up..
I think I'm going with number 2 that my body geared up to O last week but never released an egg? I have no clue, I know I'm not prengant
Hey girlies....
Just wanted to wish everyone a great day!!
Jen & Joey.. Doc put me on prog. after my BFP because my last 2 m/c were due to low progesterone. hope that helps. ( I didn't use it to ovulate though..maybe I'm diff cuz I used Clomid to help me ovulate.)
Here is a helpful link that explains when to use it when TTC.. hope it helps.
Progesterone and Fertility
:goodluck2: to all POASIng soon. I am :pray: for :bfp: news from you girlies!!!
I'm doing good.. just have severe morning sickness ( more like 24 HR sickness):rolleyes:
But I'm overall great. I have had no more cramping since week 4 so am really happy. I guess it was the uterus stretching after all. they were so intense it really felt like AF was coming. So beware ladies when you get your BFPs.. I guess cramping is a healthy sign unless there is bleeding involved.
Can't wait to be 12 weeks to see my bub again. :dance:
Good luck to you all girlies!!
:grouphug::goodluck2:
Ruth- Yay for morning sickness.. lol. Not, I thought having morning sickness somehow would be fun (but it wasnt) I got it my first time with this last pregnancy before I lost the baby. I got it at 10 DPO.. When you getting your next U/s.??
Krystie- My temp today is.......................... 36.2 sorry
jen - just couldn't keep the mirror thing working anymore. Feeling so much better this month without the tamoxifen. no major headaches, no hot flushes (just hope I O without it).
Ruthie - so glad you're feeling sick (in the nicest possible way). Won't be long, you'll be 12 weeks and you'll get to see your little bub again
Joey - hope your starting to feel better. Definately something going around - sent one home yesterday with the flu (mum was going to doctor for herself so talked her into taking her little one with her). I've also got two off with impetigo (brothers) very quiet day today - one three little ones in, 2 x 2yo and 1 x 4yo - shame it's raining.
