Thanks girls, It has seriously gotten to the point where I feel like I need to go on medication to control it. I have been on and off meds most of my adult life to control a panic disorder and this just brings all that back. Not on anything now though, haven't been since about 6 months before I fell pg with Oliver. Not even sure if you can take something like that while bfeeding??? I just know that I need to get it sorted because it's ruining everything. I mean it's only for a week out of four but I have done some serious damage to my relationship in this time. Lucky Brian knows what is going on but last night I told him I hate him!! I actually screamed it. OMG, what sort of a thing is that to say to your partner...and all because he didn't answer MY question about if he knew where the remote was while he was talking on the phone!!! I am NOT like this any other time of the month, only when PMT strikes. It's like I become someone completely different. Hmm then there's the crying, good lord, I cried today because the driver in front of me didn't indicate. Crazy.
Raels - When I was TTC Autie, I was on a herbal formula made up for me by a naturopath at a place called Sharkey's Healing Centre. They have a lot of success treating people who have trouble conceiving, but also cover other areas. Anyway, the reason I believe it helped me was because I could see my temperature chart (and therefore hormones) changing and balancing out over the months I was taking it. That was the aim in my case because I didn't have any other reason to be having trouble.
If you are interested, you can look up their website. They ask for a lot of information but that can all be done long distance (or I think online), and they can post the formula to you. (I'm lucky I could go in person as it's here on the Gold Coast)
I think bad PMS is something they could really help with. Anyway, just thought I'd mention it as an option. Hormones - who needs em! LOL Imagine if we had testosterone as well...
Raels, you broke my heart reading your post. Hugs hugs hugs many hugs to you. I'm glad Brain can understand. I think you should see someone, I hate to hear you so down because of it. You shouldn't have to suffer, I'm sure there is something out there safe for you to take while BF. I was on anti depressant/anxiety tables while BF that were safe to take, so I'm sure there is something that can help you get past this.
Lis, I think Jan had some great ideas to help with Olivia's feeding habits at night. IMO I'd let her go for it, there is worse things she could be eating. I read once, it's common for kids to go through these type of stages. I can understand why your concerned though, if it's nutrients your most worried about maybe some multi-vitamins might help.
Em, at Tom escapee episode, what did you do. at the thought of you running after him topless. Let me know what camera you decide on. We will need a new one soon. We have a Pentax ATM but been dropped in water too many times and now starting to freeze up. Love the brand though, would definitely buy another one.
Us, we are all well. Nothing new to report. Oh it's DH 40th birthday in 2 weeks, I got him 8 laps in a V8 car at QLD raceway next tuesday, so that should be fun to watch. He doesn't know what is happening yet.
Mel - luckily the sales guy grabbed him and distracted him while I made myself decent. It also gave me an escape clause because the bikini looked cr*p but I felt guilty because the guy was so nice, so I said "Oh I'll come back when I don't have him". I didn't want to have to explain that the top made me look flatter than I already am (if that's possible) and the bottoms were made for a 3 year old boy
Sacha - thanks for that information about the website. I have checked it out and will email them soon. I would much rather take something natural, I know other medication has it's place and it has certainly helped me in the past, but I did have a hard time coming off them.
Mel - thankyou also!! It sounds like you have been through some rough times yourself. I think the worst thing is the anxiety, which leads to the depression - I mentally fight to keep this away every day!! I do not want to go down that path again so whenever this happens I totally freak out. It's not as severe every month but when it is it's bad. I feel a bit better today because AF has actually started. Great gift you are getting your DH, how cool is that!!!
Lis - you are so not a failure This is so common of toddlers. Oliver is the same, eats all the good stuff all day, then when it comes to dinner will hardly touch it unless it's pasta. Hates meat. I was really surprised when this started though because DS1 was always a fantastic eater. I would advise to do what Em and Jan suggested and give her the main meal at lunch time. Good luck.
Well I have to cut this short as I have a cranky boy at my feet. Might take him to the park before it gets too hot. Hi to those I have missed. BBL.
These little toddlers are so cheeky aren't they but I am glad Olivia isn't the only one, I was so upset when she didn't eat dinner for the 4 time in a row but I have so many things to try - thanks Jan and Em!
Tonight we were at Mum's and she made Chicken/Zuchinni burgers and had them with oven potatoes and cherry tomatoes - she loved the tomatoes and had a quite a bit of the other stuff so was happy with that. She seems to like it when I give her my BIG fork to use - she gives me her little one in return
Em - that was such a funny bikini story!!! They are so hard shopping and trying on clothes!!
Raels - I am so sorry to hear about your PMT! I don't usually get cranky, I have the odd spat here and there each month but not too bad. I don't really know what to suggest but maybe a natropath? My cousin is one (in Bris) and they do some really wonderful things for people so maybe someone like that can suggest something you can take for it?
Well I have 1 AF down and 2 to go until we start trying again!!! I am a bit scared due to money and no house!!! I didn't want to rent but we will have to know and there isn't short rental agreements so that is a bit stressing. But I dont want to wait any longer and if we start in 2 more months we will have a possible feb/marc/apr baby!
Out again tomorrow looking at houses - 44 degrees what joy that will be!!
Ok, DH needs the pc.
Kisses to all!!!!

Hi to everyone! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
HELP! My brain's dying. I need a good riddle or brain teaser or something.
Also, I just learnt recently that there is a tribe on an island somewhere that still lives as they always have, shoot arrows at any helicopters that pass over or try to land, and kill anybody unlucky enough to be washed up there. No-one, therefore, knows much about them or even how many there are. Bit unbelievable in this day and age, huh?
