TTC after Miscarriage or Loss ~ August 2007

Oh, i forgot.....

Megsmum- enjoy the PAML thread. I hope we don't see you back here again. Good luck! :clap:

Can anyone give me any info on charting and OPK's etc? i have no idea about any of that stuff.

Thanks

Satya the Royal Women's Hospital in Melbourne runs a recurrent m/c clinic. I only googled it quickly and got this number from the betterhealth.vic.gov.au site and this link

Recurrent Miscarriage Clinic, Royal Women’s Hospital Tel. (03) 9344 2709
http://www.nevdgp.org.au/info/womens...iscarriage.pdf

I think there's one in Sydney too, and you can refer yourself to the Sydney one (don't need a GP), after 2 early m/c or 1 late loss. Not sure how you get into the Melbourne one.

charlotte_77 - At least you can start TTC again :) I'm just annoyed that I still haven't gotten mine (and I m/c'ed before you) :dunno:

ems - Don't be sorry bout the TMI! I remember the week after I m/c'ed, I had a HUGE gush at work and it embarrased me cause it almost went through!
And if I knew anything bout charting, I'd happily help, but I've got no idea to be honest!

LOL LizJessie, bet my gush beat yours!! :)

kiwigirl - I bet it does too! Mine went for about 30 seconds, then stopped and continued on for a little while

Oooh Kerry the temp rise sounds promising. Will keep :crossfingers: for you.

Penny Don't worry, your bub's pic will be up on your ob's wall in the not so distant future. I hope your check up went smoothly. My doc alternates between "chemo is inevitable" and "I'm happy to monitor the levels for a while". So I really don't know where I stand, but I trust that he's going to do the best thing by me. My fist m/c was in Sydney & he's had the slides from the d&c sent to london so that his pathology ppl can run more tests on them. He's very careful & thorough.

Rachael I'm glad your work pressures have eased a bit, you didn't need that kind of stress on top of everything. How are you at working from home? I'm rubbish at it: keep getting distracted (mostly by the fridge, tele, internet occaisionally even housework!). I'm glad you're feeling better physically as well & have stopped bleeding. I'm in my 6th wk after the 2nd d&c, and HCG is still hovering around 600, so I really hope it goes down as well. It had peaked at 217000 so its had a long way to go. Everytime I look in the mirror, I wish I was pg. I don't want to think that my bump is just fat now. So all my new clothes are bump-disguising and could also double as maternity wear (:redface: I am a basketcase).

Charlotte77 Yay! You can move forward & start ttc again! That's good news.

ems you sound like a really strong person. I was in pieces when I started bleeding and I can't imagine what it would be like to know its coming and have to wait for it. What is a balancing BTW? Fertilityfriend.com is the site most ppl here use for charting, and when you join up, they send out really comprehensive tutorials that tell you everything you need to know.

Nothing much to report from me... just that I really wish I was pg. I bought a cute little summer dress for my niece today and didn't drop to the floor in tears. But I wished i was pg (and not just cos of the gorgeous newborn stuff on sale). I have no urge to scratch out eyes of the pg women I meet, but I wish I was pg. I have a great life, loving DH, caring friends, interesting work, happening social life, but I wish I was pg. :wall: Its doing my head in!

Hello Everyone - Thanks heaps for all welcoming me aboard!
Its sad to see but helps to know that im not the only one whos gone through a misscarriage or TTC!
Recently on the 27th of july (day before my bday) i had my 1st mc - it was also my 1st pregnancy - so it was a bit tough on my husband and I. We meant to be at around 8.5 wks but apparenlty the baby had stoped at 6.5wks!
Im now not sure where to go from here?!?!

TREELO - you asked where i am in my cycle at the moment - to be honest with you im all new to this and have no idea where im at - when we feel pregnant i had only been off the pill for about 6mths so i never really got to understand my cycle - so any help you can give me would be muchly apprechiated as we both want to try again and hopefully fall pregnant again before end of year if that is possible - when i had my post op appointment with the dr he said there was nothing wrong with my i should be able to concieve again - it must of just been one of those things!

Hi ladies,

There's many new faces in this thread, hope you will be out of here real soon.

Just a quick post from me, I've put many posts in the two PAML threads, for those that know me and want to read my latest sad story.

DH and I went for our 12 week Ob appointment just over a week ago - and to cut a very long story short, we lost our little boy one week later. We are pretty devastated. Don't think we will ttc straight away again, will let the emotions re-settle I think.

Big hello to Satya and Pash - who'd have thought we'd all be back in here. You two are amazing. I have such respect for women these days. I'm more determined than ever to have a baby though - and the more you get kicked in the butt the more determined it makes me. I shall follow the advice I keep giving you girls - try try again, there's no other course of action.

I'll pop in from time to time to say hello and let you know when af returns and if we decide to go for it.

Wishing you all the very very best on your ttc journeys.

Lee xo

Kiwigirl - I hope that the break from work will do the trick for you and that you get your energy levels back up :hug:
pash - I cross my fingers for you that you will not need the chemo. It's good to hear that you have a good doc - that is so important!! Thanks for your kind words! I managed to wait amongst all the preggie bellies for almost an hour without getting too tearful... I am glad I made it!
ems - good luck with charting. I just started to chart with fertility friend (I previously just did my own on paper) and it is a very good website with heaps of info...
megsmum - thanks for your good wishes and hopefully we can join you soon in the PAML thread :). Congratulations and a happy and healthy pregnancy!!
Treelo - I also had a fairly short and heavy AF after m/c. This one was a normal long one again though... I have also ordered stacks of OPKs and HPTs from Lullaby. They should have been delivered yesterday, but unfortunately the delivery guy didn't leave them on the front porch as instructed, so now I have to drive to the other side of town to get them from the Australian Air Express depot :(.
I am going for every day around O time, that's how we got pregnant last time :lol: Good luck with it!!!

Here is a bit of useful info from my ob yesterday. He recommended the Lullaby OPKs. Also he told me BD 3 days before AND after ovulation should catch the egg.
I wish it was that easy...sigh!! - but no harm in trying!!!:lol::lol:

Oh Lee I'm so sorry. This is just not fair. I was so excited to learn you were pregnant again and my heart goes out to you. Take care of yourself xx

Lee - I just can't believe what I'm reading. I am so sorry this has happened to you. I hoped to never see you in here again.... nothing personal but you know what I mean. We all think we get to 12 weeks and things will be OK but clearly that is just not the case. I really don't know what else to say. Sending you :hug:.

Pash - thanks for the info. I googled it too and found we do have them... just as you found. It was so kind of you to do that for me. I found that there is one at Monash Medical Centre which is where my gyno works out of and that is also the hospital that I'm most likely to have my lap at. I'm not sure if I should ring them before the lap or wait til after. Too many decisions to make with all this TTC stuff.

:cry:

Had some more tears last night after hearing about how well my SIL's 1st scan went. It wasn't so much that things are going well for her but more the show offy way it was presented to us by text message. Didn't need it done like that the week after another m/c.

satya, *hugs*. That's rough. You know, scans are *the* thing I have the biggest hurt in seeing/hearing about, I guess since that was the awful moment when things completely changed. I only have bad experiences associated with them. I turn the channel if I see scans on TV (and gee it seems to happen *a lot*).

I think that going through a m/c means we would be way more sensitive of how we talk with others who have had m/c. I don't think there's any way women who haven't had one can understand the hurt/feelings/emotions/journey women who do go through.

Well I am feeling great that I haven't had any weird spotting for a week now, feels so nice after all that blood lol. I feel like O is coming soon.

pash, working from home is pretty good. Yeah I get distracted a bit by the internet but I do at works sometimes too. I often have a lot of disruptions in a shared office and work and it can be hard to get some jobs done when you need peace and quiet. So it has its plusses and minuses. I'm looking forward to getting out a bit more tho, went for a walk last night and after about 1km I felt like I was gonna faint so turned around and came home. I was used to walking 6km a day before.

Lee - I am so sorry that this has happened to you and your family . We must have pressed the send button at the same time - I did not see your post this morning... I am sending you lots of hugs :hug: and take good care of yourself. :hug:

Lee~ I am so sorry for your loss! Our time will come hang in there :( We are all here for you whenever you need to vent at all.

Kiwigirl~ Glad to know your doing well. I hope we get prego together as well, if I had it my way every single person in this thread would be. :) I still haven't gotten AF, BUT I am wondering if I could have still ovulated meaning my AF would come at the end of the month?? I don't know we shall see.

Satya~ Sorry for the SIL thing, I completely understand its not that your not happy for her but its hard to not feel like its all unfair.


Thank You to everyone for filling out my survey I got a little over 200 responses and some great data! :)
Diane XOXO

zionsmum - 200 responses?! That is fantastic!

Satya - I can understand the sadness - I've been the same with a friend of mine who got pregnant and she wasn't even trying *shrugs*

Lee - I'm late, but I'm so so sorry :hug: Nothing I say will make things better, but a hug seems to always help! :)

Oh Lee How devastating. I am so so sorry. You know you have friends in here you can turn to, no matter how dark your feelings get. We're also here to remind you that things will get easier, and you will feel better. I think the crab apple tree is a lovely idea (oops I've stalked :)) and as you start to feel better (emotionally) it will be a positive reminder of your boys. I understand that you've had a really tough time with tough choices. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Big :hugs:

Penny I'm glad the check up went well. It's not easy being surrounded by bellies when you should have had a belly too. But it is all positive for you from here on. I am sure you will have no trouble falling pg.

Satya Your SIL is happy, let her have it. You will have yours too. In fact you have a fantastic DF who adores you, the two of you can fall pg naturally, you have a gorgeous step-daughter who brightens weekends and makes you mothers day cards. And soon, you will have your own child, someone for you and DF to love together. Your life is great and will get better. Whew, don't know why I'm being so preachy. I guess its helped me to focus the things in my life that bring me happiness, without the joy that a child would bring. Sorry for being so preachy.

Rachael I guess its good that you are out and about a bit. You went through something similar after your first d&c didn't you? Scans are a scary thing for me and DH as well. Before the 1st scan for my 2nd pg, I felt more afraid & nervous than before my scariest interview or before a school swimming carnival (a school full of girls screaming in an indoor pool area, trust me, its scary). But I can watch scans on TV. There's a reality show here that covers Katie Price & Peter Andre's latest pg (Princess whoever). And the first bit of it showed them going for a scan and finding out that there was no heartbeat at 13 wks, having a d&C. I was impressed at how well they held it together. Having been through something similar, there'd be no way I'd want a camera crew around me at that time. But they did go on to have Princess T when they next fell pg. Not that I usually watch a lot of celeb trash tv, honest :redface:

Diane Wow, 200 responses! That's great, I'm assuming not all BB members! How are you doing? Any sign of AF or O? Are you temping?

I am enjoying my last few days of unemployment by bumming around at home... Will find out yesterday's HCG result today. So much of all this is waiting. I feel determined not to let life pass me by while I wait for our family to unfold.

hello everyone,
only been 1 week today since my d&c, still not sure if i want to ttc again just yet, but you guys are so inspiring, i am definately considering it.

Welcome StarrySky. What a beautiful name you've chosen. I am sorry for your loss. Whether you decide to ttc straight away or not, you'll get loads of support here.

My HCG dropped again by 200 from last Thu. Its now around 400, so I am hopeful that it will go down to 0 in a couple of weeks. Then I'll get AF in about 6 weeks, and can maybe start ttc then or a couple of months later :crossfingers: Its so slow, but better than the alternative!

Morning everyone! Have a nice day :)

Lee: I know I'm a total stranger since you had left for PAML when I joined but I wanted to express my deepest sympathies for your loss. :cry: Take care of yourself. :hug:

Diane: Great news on getting your 200 responses! I didn't mind the survey at all. It gave me something interesting to do as I was rather bored at work that afternoon. Congrats on your upcoming graduation! If you don't mind me asking, what is your degree in?

Charlotte: I hope that spotting was your AF and everything has gone back to normal for you. Countdown to TTC! :goodluck:

Starsky: Welcome. I'm sorry for the loss that brought you here. I hope your stay is short and that you will find us to be a supportive bunch while you're here.

Penny: Glad to hear you made it thru the OB appt w/ your sanity & emotions in tact. I expect to be going in another week or so to get the results of my d&C analysis. I know I will be sitting there wondering about the other women there - pg or not, did they have a tough time or breeze right thru...? Of course I will then assume everyone is pg and that they all have no problems staying that way. I hate it that I do that but I can't help it. But as for you, I'm sure it won't be long b4 the other women will be wondering those things about you. :)

Kiwigirl: I agree with your comment about women having had an m/c being better able to support someone else who has suffered the same trauma. What I don't get is how some other women can be so clueless about their reaction to hearing about someone else who m/c'ed. I have seen some real doozy responses ppl have given to those in here after their loss. The lack of sympathy and decorum by some ppl lucky enough not to have gone thru this truly amazes me.

Pash: Glad to see your emoticon on 'Cheerful' - I hope you truly are. You seem to be doing amazingly well despite all the lemons life has been throwing at you. Congrats on your further HCG drop. Can't wait to get the news of your *BFP* in the coming months! It will happen - it will!

As for me, I think I'm spotting so hopefully AF is on her way. RIght on time too. Hopefully that means I'm back to normal and we can TTC in two weeks time. Yay!

Welcome Starrysky. I hope your stay here is a short one. I just seem destined to stay here forever.

Pash - I'm glad your HCG is dropping. There's more to the SIL thing that I didn't write. Lets just say that she actually doesn't care how my DF & I feel. These words have actually been spoken and have been related back to us. She knew all the circumstances about the baby stuff plus the illness that is in my family but she said she didn't care about it.... this was said when a family member warned her to be careful about smsing us because of all the stress we are under right now. I had to visit my aunt on the weekend as they have started to withdraw treatment and she will have weeks not days to live. It's really hard to watch my mum fuss over her sister while she herself is so ill. Maybe I could feel happier for her if my mum and my aunt weren't so sick but put it all together and I just can't be. They need some happy news and I am just not capable of giving it to them right now. All in all I'm actually in a very good mood most of the time, but everything going on all at once is sometimes just a little too much for me to handle.

Lee - I caught up on the details the other thread. I cried for you last night, you have experienced something I have a real fear of and I just felt devistated for you. I started thinking about you on the way home in the car and by the time I got in to my house there were tears. It was hard trying to explain to my DF that I was not crying about my own situation, but when I eventually spat it out he understood. I hope you can get the courage to try again but don't think I could if I were in your situation, then again I am a few years older than you and of course the risk for me is even higher.

Hi to everyone else.

Pash: I know this might sound strange but I put my HCG level data and the dates into Excel to follow their drop off (hey I needed something to do while waiting around for the next BT lol). The doctors told me they usually follow a certain drop-off pattern, like an exponential decay curve (fast drops at the start, then slower and slower). I could see that pattern with mine and it helped me see when I thought the HCG would be done to zero :)

Just a thought...

Satya You're right, I'm sorry. I should be supportive instead of preachy. Obviously, I don't know the whole story, and I didn't mean to come accross judgemental. I'm sorry about your aunt. And I do hope your mum pulls through what is a tough time for all of you.

SweetPetite I'm glad AF is on her way & you can move on with TTc. Fantastic news. I guess I am more hopeful than cheerful. But I guess I feel more positive than I've felt recently.

Rachael I've been charting my HCG already :redface: but it is good to know that it comes down exponentially. I was told it should halve every 48 hours, but my drops are a lot slower than that.

Hi everyone! Thank goodness for this site....I think I AM OVULATING! I miscarried on the 25/7 and have been following some threads about people who have concieved again without waiting for AF,anyhow I didn't realise you could do this and my DH and I have not used any protection. My husband was very much we will TTC AFTER AF so I didn't tell him it could still happen.
Anyhow the last few days I noticed all my Familiar (very obvious) Ovulation signs and my husband asked me last night as he had noticed too......I asked him "what if we Fall again" expecting him to be worried etc but he said "That's a good thing isn't it" so there you go I thought he wouldn't have thought about it at all.
Anyhow fingers crossed and I'll keep you posted if anything comes of it....can't test for 14 days can I? I'm just excited that my body seems to be returning to normal.

Oh the doctors never said that to me - it was more halving every week from memory.

Pash - your preaching was fine. I probably deserve it, regardless of what she has said and done. I really do wish I could be happy for her but I just can't. I'm done trying now. Luckily we have very little to do with her and her husband so it's not going to impact our lives too much.

I just got an email from my mum. One of her brothers has now been diagnosed with cancer. Right now that means my mum, my aunt, my uncle & a cousin all have it. I know a lot of people get it as they age but seriously this is getting ridiculous. Some good news though, a cousin's daughter has just had another baby (number 3 for her), I'm very happy for her but it still makes me a little sad about my situation.... no tears though.

Dawnee - You go girl !!!!!! i tried straight away but no luck, but it does happen. Fingers crossed it happens for you !!

Satya - It is natural to feel the way you do, i did after my first loss, but this time im taking others joy a little better. sending you lots of hugs sweety, dont be too hard on yourself, you cant help the way you feel.

starrysky - i agree, such a beautiful name. Welcome and good luck with your ttc journey. You are certainly surrounded by very caring and understanding ladies here !!

Well i recieved my hpt's from lullaby conceptions. They sent the wrong ones, but they sent better ones, than i ordered. I told them, and they are sending my order again but told me to keep the first ones !! lucky me....i am very impressed with there service...and would recommend them to anyone.
Now i just have to wait for O and some serious BDing and then i can use them!!!

Im abit stressed cause im not working which means im not getting paid. And the worst thing is that Cooper will probably get them soon, which means i will have to have another 10 days off.

hugs to everyone
treelo

sweetpetite, wanna ask AF to pop her vibes around this way??

Hi everybody, hope you don't mind, but I'm finally ready to join you in the TCC journey, and I'd love to be able to share the ups and downs with you guys, because I know you've been where I am.
At the moment I'm half way through my 3rd cycle since my MC, and have stopped taking the pill (2 days ago) and started on supplements. Obviously not expecting anything for this month, but hope to get serious next cycle.
I wondered if anybody knows anything about takind Omega 3 fish oil while TTC and Preg. Have been taking it for a month or so, and wondering if it's safe in Pregnancy...
Anyway, looking forward to sharing the ride, and wishing you all BFPs really soon:D

Beaksie,

Welcome although im sorry its under such sad curcumstances. I am so sorry for the loss of your 3 precious angels. I have read in another thread that its ok to take them, although i think with most pregnancy vitamins, you get everything you need all in one. I think a pharmacist would be the best person to ask.

I hope your start here is very short Beaksie.

hugs
treelo

Welcome Beaksie,

Yes it's fine to take in pregnancy. It was in my Pregnancy & breastfeeding multi vitamin that I was taking for the short time I was pregnant recently.

I must say I'm not looking forward to starting those vitamins again though, I could barely stomach them, the fish smell was foul and I could still "taste" them for about half an hour after I swallowed them. I don't know how I will swallow them if I have morning sickness.

Hope your stay here is a short one.

Hi all, your stories are so familiar to me. It is comforting to know I'm not the only one out there feeling these things, especially as so many of close friends and SIL are expecting. My story is"
My DH and I have been TTC since oct 06, cycles were all over the place, i commenced on clomid in May and fell pg first cycle, we were so excited. Unfortunately we lost our baby last friday at 11weeks 1day. I had a D&C on monday and just want to get going again, because i feel the only way to end my sadness is to be pg again. My FS advised for me to see him in 6weeks to induce AF and then start clomid again. Obviously I would like to pg this cycle and have read that it is possible, my dilemma is when/if i would ovulate. I lost a lot of blood, could this impact on my next cycle?? I charted previously to clomid but we weren't certain I was even Ovulating, so it wasn't very clear. When will my pg hormones go? Should I have blood test each week to check? they never offered this to me. I'm feeling so sad and impatient. Anyone got any thoughts?

Thanks ladies :)

Satya - you made me cry that you were crying for me :cry: - it has been such a cruel choice to have to make, and I'm so very very sad for my little man.

I woke up today with a bit of the old vitality returned, guess those pregnancy hormones are dropping - although it's good to not feel sick - I'd rather be suffering morning sickness.......

Caught up with my midwife (from my March birth) - who has been very supportive and a wealth of knowledge. She tells me women are usually very fertile after a D&C.

I can't believe that a short 3 days after such a terrible thing was done, I'm considering going again, but I am. We women are suckers for punishment, BUT, it's the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow we seek - and I'm determined I will get it, I'm not giving in. And neither are any of you.

We'll see what happens............

Thanks for your kind words everyone, it really helps.

Lee xo

Thanks girls for answering my post. To Nellsbells, welcome, and sorry for your loss, you've come to the right place for a bit of support. About your HCG levels, it can take quite a while before they go back to normal. I took 6 weeks, and usually you don't have blood tests to check this, unless there's another underlying issue they want to check, though you might be able to request it.
Lee- I've read your story,a nd I'm totally devastated for you. How cruel it is that one person can go through so much. You must be an incredibly strong person to be able to pick yourself up, and I truly hope that your next pregnancy results in the gorgeous baby you deserve....look after yourself! :hug:

LizJessie: I would love to send her your way but I fear I jumped the gun (wishful thinking I guess). That little bit was all I saw - it stopped again. ARGH! But whatever, I've got 2 wks til O and whether she comes or not, we'll TTC anyway! If I see her tho - I'll send her over! :)

Beaksie & Nellsbells: Welcome! I am sorry for the loss that has brought each of you here - I hope your stay is a short one.

Beaksie: I saw your little angels - I'm sorry you have lost so many. If I had mine up, we'd almost look like the same person.
m/c: Jul 03 & July 04, DD: Aug 3, 06, m/c: Jun 07
Here's hoping we both get to add another DD/DS very soon!

sweetpetite - Thankyou! This sounds weird, but in 16 minutes, it'll be 7 weeks exactly since I m/c'ed and I'm getting annoyed with waiting *sighs*

Hi sweetpetite! We are rather similar arent we? You must have just celebrated a 1st bday so HAPPY BIRTHDAY to your little one!!! My daughter turned 1 on the 8th, so we had a ball with the cake, games etc. I've actually just gotten back from the 12 month needles this morning. I was so proud, not even a whimper after 3 needles....much braver than her mother (lol)!
We're so lucky to have a healthy bub amongst our losses, it makes it all that much more bearable. Particularly after what some of the other ladies on here have had to go through, without a good result (yet!).

Just a quick message...

Hello Nellsbells and Beaksie - I am sorry for your losses and let's hope that your stay here will be a very short one!

Beaksie - My naturopath has also put me on the Omega 3 fish oil supplements. They are from nutri medicine and I think they might be practitioners only. Anyway, they have a coating on them and I cannot taste or smell anything fishy :). Check with your doctor if you are unsure about taking them, I am taking them in addition to my prenatal vitamins.

Pash - You are such an amazing woman, finding the right supporting words for all of us after all that you have been through! Thanks again and don't stop "preaching", it was exactly what I needed...
I am glad to see that you levels are continuing to come down and keep crossing my fingers for you. Take care.

Hello to everyone I have missed :). Got to run...

I hope everyone is having a good day. :D

Pash- I don't think I am a "strong person" but I have been trying to be super positive. I got to a point last year when i finally realised that being sad or depressed only made ME feel worse. I know it's hard not to be sad and upset sometimes (we wouldn't be human if we weren't) but I try and see the positive in everything. It's not easy, but I'm trying. A balancing is kinesiology. Basically, you lie on a table and the person running the session kind of 'asks' your body what's wrong with it so it can 'fix itself' more or less. Sorry to anyone I've upset with my bad description. In my session we found, surprise surprise, that I had trouble "holding onto foetus or embryo". Who knew!!!?? It's not for everyone but I get a lot out of it.

Lee- I'm soooooo sorry you are back here. :cry: It's sad seeing the new faces pop up all the time but even more so when people leave and come back. I hope you, along with Satya and anyone else that has returned, are only here for a short visit. :hugs:

Satya- I understand your sadness with hearing about other peoples scans going well. I find them so scary now. I on't know if I'll be able to handle having them done next time because it's too hard when something isn't good on the screen.

Well, I am probably the only person in the world who was relieved to have a miscarriage. Only because I waited for about 5 weeks for it to start. Hopefully I won't still need a D&C after all this because that would be really annoying. So many people told me how crazy I was not having the D&C straight away. It just didn't feel right for me. Why do people (who have not even miscarried before) try and tell you that you should be doing something the way they think it should be done? It made me very angry. i also felt kind of stupid. It's all happening naturally now and I know that, for me, I have done the right thing.

Sorry for venting.

Ems

Where is my brain???!!!

i forgot to say a welcome to Nellsbells, Beaksie and Starysky. Welcome, hugs for your losses and I hope your stay in this thread is a brief one. :pray:

Dawnee- Good luck with your O. BD as much as you can, I say. I'm glad your DH is happy to do that also. I can't wait to start TTC again! Good Luck! :crossfingers:

Beaksie- My Ob gave me some Blackmores Breastfeeding and Pregnancy Supplements to take. They have Omega-3 in them. They don't smell or taste like fish, which is good. The only bad thing about them is that they are HUGE! I call them my "horse tranquilisers". I am still taking them now, and will continue as it's for a good cause.
