LLPM - Praying for your little one! Keep us posted!

Mum 2 Quigley - chart looks good really hoping it's your month!

 

[Mum 2 Quigley]

LLPM - hope everything goes well with yur little one, I'm thinking of you! Also hope your testing goes well when yo get to it!

thanks girls...even if I'm not preg, I'm feeling good about learning to chart my temps now, so looking forward to seeing next month to see where I'm at!

question about Blackmores pre-conception multivitamins......Does anybody take them and feel sick when they do? If I take them before food and eat straight away afterwards, I feel sick & often throw up from it.... I also feel queasy if I take them during eating breakfast, but throw up less often. It's not all the time, but it does happen quite often....has anyone else had this? I wonder if I should be trying something different?

 

[Pauls_angel]

I don't use the pre-conception ones but do use their pregnancy ones (a little cheaper and only slightly less folate) - I've never felt sick from them though. I used to use elevit which have a bit more folate and would sometimes feel sick on them. I changed brands as my doc said I have very good folate levels anyway and that the blackmores preg one would be sufficient - I changed due to price though - not feeling sick was a bonus

 

[Mum 2 Quigley]

cool, thanks. Yeah, the pre-conception are a killer! It's ok if you take them for 3 months before TTC and then nail it first try, but it gets expensive a year down the track!!

I might have a chat to my doc about my folate levels next time im there and see if I can do something similar to you.

Agree with the stuff about getting better at charting - I feel the same. That last month was just a practise round for charting - this one's the real thing. In my mind, anyway.

I bought some Blackmores supplements. There were 2 tablets a day. Appart from the fact that they were the size of horse tablets, one of the pair smelt SO bad that I could not get them down at all without hurling. I have started taking something else that the name escapes me - they start with F but aren't Fefol - which are smaller and don't smell bad, so the theory is when I am pregnant they will be easier to swallow even when pregnant and feeling off.

Thanks ladies! Not too worried about LO, she has bowed legs at 16months but one leg is mildly shorter than the other. Going to see the orthopedic peadiatric specialist at westmead so I know we're in the best hands! will let you know how it goes.
Been having sharp stabbing pains in abdomen this morning...not sure what from!

 

[Mum 2 Quigley]

Yeah, I find they don't taste great, but I don't really have any trouble taking them, except for being sick afterwards, which isn't ideal. The things we do for our babies! Haha

Blackmores pre-conception made me very ill, as well as pregnancy, right now until I get a BFP i am on Blackmores folate and centrum womens one a day, I will try another brand with the BFP!!

 

[Pammy31]

Yeah I stopped taking elevit it made me queasy in the morning....

Look down. Is anyone actually stabbing you? If it's not that, perhaps it could be a good sign - my fingers are crossed.

hi ladies, hope you're all well

This cycle was the first cycle I started taking Blackmores conceive well gold -but to be honest I just choose that brand because they were on sale at woolworths at the time (25%off). Before that I was just taking folate. To be honest I think it's probably just a coincidence that I fell pregnancy when I started taking conceive well, but I find that once morning sickness kicks in I find it very hard to take anything, so thought I might try and get all the good stuff in before hand if possible. By the way, I take them just before going to bed and I haven't felt sick from them - but have gagged a couple of times > they're huge tablets!

 

[Mum 2 Quigley]

That's a good idea Ginny, might try evenings.

Hot tip for everyone buying it, it's always heaps cheaper at woollies, usually no more than $28 when not on special

Hi Ladies,

Do you mind if I join??

I am 6DPO & I have everything crossed. We have been trying for four months now. It dosent sound long but it feels like forever. I come from Melbourne and I already have a little girl who is 13 months. So I am desperate to have a little play mate for her soon. We are also trying to conceive a boy so it been hard.

I have been using OPK. The first response gave me nothing. The Clearblue digital gave me a smiley face for one day!! I also used Discover & that was positive for about four days!

Hope your all having a good day.

 

[LLPM]

Welcome Lisa! Sure you can join!

Well Maggie saw the specialist - he was very good and said her legs are bowed from being in utero! She was only 6lb 14oz at 41weeks but I'm only 5ft2 and 52kgs so she was pretty squished in there. She sleeps on her tummy with her legs in the same position she would have been in whilst I was pregnant so it's caused her bones to twist - both of her tibia's are twisted and her left femur is twisted which makes her legs seem uneven lengths. he said it will correct itself by the time she is 3 or 4 and in the meantime she might be a bit clumsy! It was a very quick $275 anyway, but glad she's ok and doesn't need treatment!
15dpo and no sign of AF still...

 

[Pauls_angel]

Welcome Lisa!

Lucy that is great news about Maggie's legs/hip! Also good news that AF hasn't shown up - when are you testing next?

Melainey and 2mums - any bfp news as yet?

cd11 for me today - less than a week to ov

 

[Mum 2 Quigley]

It's so worth it to spend the money on the specialists when you get good news like that!! Must be a relief!

Yay! Ov time again...it goes so quickly!

 

[Trying2b2mums]

Lisa- welcome and fx for you!!!
LLMP- thats good news for your little one!!! $275 stings, but small price to pay to find out everything is ok and you can settle

No news yet still too early, but i slept heaps today, lower back is excruciating, and i was hungry so i had one of my favourite muesli bars, couldn't get past the first bite, made me immediately nauseas, thought it weird, but could be coincidence...i guess

 

[LLPM]

Yeah a big relief! Thank you!
I'll test again when my tests turn up - they weren't in the post today so hopefully tomorrow! If it's negative I'm going to assume I ovulated really late (Saturday just gone - I had some ewcm!) and will expect AF to show up next Wednesday, so will test again next Thursday (2nd) if AF hasn't showed up by then!

 

[Mum 2 Quigley]

Hopefully no coincidence 2mums!

I had some cramping this afternoon, different to AF cramps, but along the same line...if that makes any sense. lol I'm hoping this means I'm getting close to either BFP (hopefully) or AF...

Lisa....hopefully you will be getting a positive next week!!! xx

Makes perfect sense to me, yesterday, particularly in the evening, i had similar AF cramps, but they were different, hahaha, more of twinges and i guess a slight pulling or tugging that others are always talking about, but im still trying to stay grounded as I think its too soon. I think i am about 6dpo, but since OPKs havent worked out for me, i am 8 days past first , so anything is possible, but AF shouldnt arrive for 2 weeks, and ive never been that early, plus no cramps today, but also no spotting no cm. Hope its a good sign for you Mum 2!!! fx!!
