****December Testing Thread**** 23 BFP's

[Mimzy3]

Any of you ladies try soy isoflavones?? I am thinking of trying them this cycle but I have a feeling my gyno might not approve. I have an apt the 19th and don't want her to yell at me if when i go in there but I got AF today and want to start today to push my O date up. I O very late this cycle not till CD30ish..

Today is CD 27 of 28 after being a week late last month. We decided to take a semi break and not track anything. If fact we only BD 3 times.... and very far apart.

A few days ago I decided to use my OPK's, and was surprised that they were coming out positive. CD 15 I had pink and brown tingerd CM. I assumed ovulation... but we didn't BD around that at all.

Today I took the chance and bought a pregancy test and used with only 2 hour urine. Instaneous Bfp.

Doctors office is not open on Friday, so I left them a message and hoping to get in next week. Praying something doesn't go wrong cause I know some people get a bfp and then have their period. And wehere mine is due tomorrow I'm terrified.

If all goes well me and DH are going to tell the family on christmas eve.

Congrats!!!!!

The
Super Fertility
Nutrient:
Vitamin D While most folks associate vitamin D with bone health, a little known fact is that it can also play an important role in fertility.

In fact, a number of studies have shown that Vitamin D has a direct impact on the reproductive organs in both men and women. In men, it works to help produce more testosterone, the hormone responsible for making sperm. In women, vitamin D works directly on the ovaries, helping to regulate how estrogen is used to help egg follicles mature and grow.

Vitamin D also appears to play a role in how estrogen acts in the uterus, particularly in regard to development of the lining. In fact when vitamin D levels are low, your uterus may not develop a lining sufficient enough to hold on to your embryo – which in turn frequently leads to very early stage miscarriage.

In fact, vitamin D is now considered such an important fertility nutrient, one group of Yale researchers devoted an entire study to learning what happens when levels decline. Here they studied 67 women who had problems conceiving – and found that 93% of them were low in vitamin D. According to researcher Dr Lubna Pal, “ Of note, not a single patient with either ovulatory disturbance or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) demonstrated normal Vitamin D levels; 39 per cent of those with ovulatory disturbance and 38 per cent of those with PCOS had serum 25OHD levels consistent with deficiency. “

In another study, women who lost their menstrual cycle and were considered infertile due to PCOS resumed their periods and became pregnant when vitamin D levels were increased.

If that were not enough to get you to run right out to the nearest health food store and stock up on vitamin D supplements, consider this: Vitamin D is intrinsic to controlling blood levels of calcium. And when calcium levels go down, the rate of PMS climbs! More importantly, however, the reverse is also true – when calcium levels are sufficient, PMS is reduced – and ultimately that means fertility can prosper!

In studies conducted by University of Massachusetts researcher Elizabeth R. Bertone-Johnson, ScD, and published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, it was learned that when the intake of both calcium and vitamin D is high, the risk of PMS is significantly reduced. In fact, they found that women who ate just four servings a day of low fat dairy or yogurt, or drank orange juice fortified with calcium and vitamin D had up to a 40% reduced risk of PMS.

So what's the connection between PMS and fertility? Well first, when PMS is under control you will simply feel better with far less stress – which in turn means that all hormone activity will be better balanced. But more importantly, since PMS is a condition that is underscored by a reproductive hormone imbalance, reducing your risk of this problem also means helping to insure the proper hormone balance necessary for a quick and easy pregnancy.

Finally, the very latest research shows that Vitamin D deficiencies may be linked to a higher rate of bacterial vaginosis (BV) a very common intimate infection that has been linked to infertility. Indeed, not only can this infection create a hostile envioronment that can negatively impact sperm, if left untreated, BV can quickly turn into a a much more serious condition known as PID – pelvic inflammatory disease. This infection can easily spread into the fallopian tubes, ovaries and even the uterus and not only directly and immediately impact your ability to get pregnant, but also create scar tissue that continue to interfere with conception long after the infection clears. Moreover, if you do happen to get pregnant while you have a BV infection, it could increase your risk of miscarriage as well as lead to premature labor and a low birth weight baby.

The good news : You can dramatically reduce your risk of developing this infection - and increase your fertility in the process - by simply keeping your vitamin D levels high. How can this help? While doctors aren't completely sure, many believe that vitamin D helps give a boost to the immune system, which in turn helps keep the natural bacteria found in the V zone from growing out of control.

Thanks! Your sweet! I'm just confused Bc now I have no menstrual cramps and the red spotting from this morning is now gone and I've only gotten a couple light brown spots on the TP when I wipe. Didn't even need a pantyliner today. I'm officially one day late today if she doesn't hit hard by tomorrow morning.

I know you don't want to but I would just take a test. It will be pretty accurate today since you are already a day late. It will take the guessing out of this "game"!!

I will take it tomorrow morning with FMU if it hasn't progressed any over night. I don't want to test with diluted urine. When are you testing?

So, like 2 people have joked that I was pregnant in the past 3 days.....so last night, I thought..what the heck! Took a test !!!! Ran to Target and got more and got another ! Tested again this morning and +++++ again!!!!

I called my best friend before I told my hubby!

I stuck a hamburger bun in the oven and told him there was a weird smell over by the stove and it was scaring me. So he went over there was sniffin around, opened the oven and said, "Well yeah, ya got a bun in there." I just busted out laughing! He was like Oh.My.Gosh. Are you pregnant!?!?!? He didn't fully believe me until I showed him the two tests.

There were tears and hugging. Not I just have to hope we have a sticky bean!!
