Doctor Appointments

Dmom I find that website interesting,
Have you tried any of their tips?
With me being obsessed with healthy food and natural things I think it is good! Saying this I need to lose few pounds, as all I eat in work is rubbish lately due to lack of time for lunch

I just found the website last night and was looking more at the supplement info; it's about the best that I have found, regarding recommended dosages.

If you are talking about the fertility diet, I think it might be a little much.

 

[Sus09]

Actually I was looking at the suplements myself, have not got to read the diet yet.
Athough I have downloaded the recipes, to look at. Not for fertility reasons, but I might find some healthy recipes there.

 

[dachsundmom]

The website has the fertility diet and a gluten free diet....I guess those with celiacs canhave infertility issues.

I did order some vitex today, so we'll see how it goes.

 

[Sus09]

I was reading about Maca there, as I am taking it as well as my OH.
I will read about VITEX now just to see what it is.

gluten free diet! I will have a look at that, interesting!

 

[dachsundmom]

I wouldn't go GF without a diagnosis, bc you will have to take more supplements to make up for what is missing in the GF diet.

I was going to order maca, but NS told me today that it's a stimulant and I don't want to interrupt my sleep or raise my blood pressure.

 

[Sus09]

It is my colleague who suffers from gluten intolerance, I am will email the link to her.

Yes, I can see the effect of Maca as a stimulant... I have noticed (although I don´t see any change on my OH)

I am worried about my blood pressure going up, I am keeping an eye on that one. However one of the reasons I am taking it is because my doctor has reduced my cytalopram dose, as he is not too sure if it would have a negative effect on the baby if I conceived. I noticed the change when they reduced the does, I had a very dark week! and Since Maca I am feeling a bit better.

It is maybe just in my head, but it works

 

[dachsundmom]

If you feel good, then carry on, lol.

I have to be careful with those types of sites, bc I'll start buying every supplement I can get my hands on, lol.

 

[Sus09]

lol I am the same! I want everything now,

At this rate my OH and I will be rattling

 

[dachsundmom]

Well, the place where I bought my supplements today, turns out to be the US division of Holland and Barret. I hear you girls talk about them, so I assume the company is good?

 

[Sus09]

I find it very good, I buy my suplements there and some healthy foods as well. I try not to go too often as I always end up spending a lot and leaving with a bag full of items lol

Now I am getting paranoid! I am not going to carry on reading about the fertility diet! I get obsessed with healthy / unhealthy food so better not go there

 

[dachsundmom]

Yeah, don't read it....you'll start fearing all forms of soy.

 

[Sus09]

True

OMG I want all the suplements now

 

[dachsundmom]

I kinda see myself on the website and making a list of things to order in the morning. Do you think it's weird if I ask for supplements as my Xmas gift?

Not sure if I'm on the right thread, but I've pulled my neck out of sand and booked doc's appoint for tues. I've been ttc for 2 yrs but properly for 14 mnths and today realised I need for my sanity to see if anything wrong. On checking threads and posts for things to ask I see people get bloods done on certain cycle days. When I go it will be cd14 will this be ok or should I make another at beginning of cycle???? Hopefullly this makes sense

 

[dachsundmom]

BC this is your 1st appointment, I am not sure if blood work will get done...typically tests are done on CD3 and CD21. Your doc might just examine you and wait for the testing...CD21, really should read 7DPO; so if you OV on CD18, you won't have this test done until CD25...if this makes any sense, LOL.

 

[Dylis]

I didn't think about it when I booked the appointment it was a now or never moment. I think I'll go anyway might do some thing.

 

[dachsundmom]

Oh, I think you might have misunderstood...by all means, go to the appointment and the doctor will just line everything up then and go over it with you.

I am so sorry if I confused you at all.

 

[Dylis]

Thank you, as you say least it will get things in motion. And after reading that fertility site will get some royal jelly and look into maca

With the royal jelly, just please be careful. If you are estrogen dominant, it could make matters worse.
