How many of you are taking Vitamin D supplements along with Prenatals ?

How many of you are taking Vitamin D supplements along with Prenatals ?

I am. I take a calcium + Vitamin D3 along with my prenatals. I have also been taking cranberry because I am prone to UTIs (TMI but especially when I lay on my back for 30 min after we BD) Haven't gotten one since I've been taking cranberry, though. For a little while I was taking iron and flaxseed oil for Omega 3s but one of them made me nauseas.

I'am taking prenatals (Pregnacare) along with folic acid.
Other than that i prefer fresh juices and fruits.
Should i take anything else?

Me and DH saw a video last night (about pregnancy that how much fun it is and how baby feel, it was made in a baby's perspective).
My DH wanted me to share it with his SIL and i just couldn't help myself. Part of me was envious that she got pregnant and the other part was like no, girl this is so wrong. (She got pregnant darn easily, They weren't even planning, had unsafe s*x and well got pregnant.)
I'am not a mean person, not at all. I do help her by counselling and being there for her. Now i feel guilty by not sharing that link , its so painful for me when the whole world is revolving around her, while here iam trying every month to get pregnant. Am i being selfish? Or do you guys also feel the same?

It will be okay! I know it hurts really bad at first, but take it as you get to start over this month If you need someone to talk to - we are here!

Seriously! Its so hard to move on. Its like your whole world is falling apart. Anyway, How many cycles have you been trying?

I know its hard! I am there too, especially when its all you want. For me, I've learned that I can't stay upset. My husband deserves my best and I can't be that when I get upset all the time. He wants a baby just as bad as I do and he remains so positive, and that really helps me!

This will be our 7th cycle this month. Surprisingly, I have been the most calm and stress free this month. I think reality has hit that we didn't get pregnant quickly and I keep hearing more and more of how it took women several months to get pregnant. It puts me at ease.

We also found out this past week that my husband's best friend got pregnant trying to avoid it. That hurt a little. She isn't married, but will be in a few weeks. She had wanted to be married for several years before they started trying. I am very happy for her now. But when I first heard the news, I didn't take it so well!

How long have you been TTC?

I feel the same. All my friends have been giving this news one after the other for a long time.. Same with my sister in law they werent trying but got pregnant. Its really very hurting ! I used to be ecstatic when i heard if a friend or cousin or sil was pregnant before we started trying .. Now I react emotionally . feeling bad for myself a few tears at first but calm myself later on I have often felt guilty but I remind myself that BEST THINGS COME TO PEOPLE WHO WAIT.. I am hopeful that god has something real good in store for me..and hopeful for you guys too !

 

[babybeans0230]

I've had the same prob before..

But this really helped me

1. Wash before BD ( both partners )
2. After BD keep legs against a wall and hips propped up for 25- 30 min
3. Mild wash in lukewarm water after step 2

This does not prevent you in getting pregnant cause by the time you BD there are about 20 million sperms in !

This is hygenic and really in no way comes between getting preggers.

I have done the same before and got my BFP which landed in chem pregnancy ! So this can be followed to avoid infections of any kind

Its my 6th cycle, earlier we weren't really trying. Had unsafe s*x though, didn't end up getting pregnant. I thought it would be easy but i guess life doesn't go the way we want it to be. God has something better planned for us, all we gotta do is wait (and thats what is the hardest part).

Hey Ladies! I hope you're all doing well! I am in my 3rd cycle of TTC and ready to roll! I have been so sad the last couple of days thinking about my last cycle. At first I thought I knew exactly when i was ovulating and I used OPKs to confirm it. But this last time I don't think I ever ovulated or i ovulated later then usual! and we made sure to cover our bases and bd almost everyday...and nothing. :-/ I feel like now that we have been trying to conceive...my cycles all of a sudden want to be irregular! -_- I have tried charting, but waking up in the morning is a struggle lol

I found out my bestfriend is pregnant, and they werent evening trying . Although im a jealous beast, I am very happy for her!

Any one have any advice?

 

[Megan105]

You're right babyjourney89, God does have something more wonderful than we can imagine planned for us. The longer we wait the more we will appreciate our gift when it comes.

When do you ovulated again?

 

[babybeans0230]

Ladies what's the way to calculate dpo .. Like if I have a positive ovulation day.. They day after that would be my one dpo. ??

I'm out for this month /: came this morning

 

[peachcheeks]

Thank you for the advice, babybeans! We'll do that. I also read online that softcups help so you can get up sooner. I've used them before but I've never been pregnant so I don't know if they are helping or hurting.. anyone know anything about them?

babyjourney, I know exactly how you feel and it's perfectly okay to feel that way.

Ortegapg, I also get so jealous, and it's okay that we do. I try to be happy for them, to them, and just keep my jealousies to myself though.

Sorry about AF, Kittykat!! *hugs*

I hope everyone is having a good day today and a relaxing weekend!! I am supposed to ovulate tomorrow. DH and I haven't BD'd in 3 days to try and 'save up' sperm.. Hope it helps because I am horny today and we're trying to wait until the morning! (lol so sorry!!!)

 

[babybeans0230]

Everything will be fine! Don't see it as the end of a month.. see it as a beginning of a new one! Loads of baby dust for this cycle!

[FLArmyWife]

so peachy I just went back and opened the link I had posted and it didn't work for me but I found it through a search.

Did it work when you tried or would you like me to post the new link?

 

[babyjourney89]

When do you ovulated again?

I ovulate at 20+. Found out in January when i started using OPK's.
How abt you?

 

[babyjourney89]

Awww! I can totally understand.
Fx for the new beginning and new cycle. Lets hope all of us get our BFP this month.
