Doctor Appointments

[Sus09]

Dylis, they wont take bloods at your first appointment. They will gather information and then arrange what they want to do. I think timing is great as probably you can time your 7dpo bloods just after your first appointment.

I totally second what Dmom says, be careful with suplements, wait until you get blood tesults. Maca is ok but dont take royal jelly jet just in case.

A bit of advise, dont forget that your OH needs to be tested as well. I took it all on myself and was afraid to ask him to be tested as well. Male factor is also important! Xxxxx

With the maca you also have to be careful, as a stimulant it is bad news for anyone suffering from sleep disorder, anxiety or high blood pressure.

For everyone else it's fine

 

[Sus09]

Oh no! I suffer from anxiety and tend to have high blood pressure i have to monitor maca effects then!

 

[NorthStar]

Sus, how long have you been taking it?

2 out of 3 risk factors, hmmm I'm not sure that it's a great idea for you then, particularly considering the stress you're under at work

I only found this out about maca yesterday btw.

Does he monitor it at home?

 

[Sus09]

I think I am going to give Maca a miss, Northstar is right, I am going through too much stress now and it is only going to increase so the last thing I need now is a stimulant.

On the positive side I have given a scan date on the 25th of January so we will find out how things are inside me!

[Sus09]

Ah, and also the private FE has contacted me, (via my OH´s brother) and said to phone him for an appointment, so maybe I will be able to see him before my scan or even have my scan even sooner.

Coincidece the two things happening at the same time!

Maca made me break out.

 

[Sus09]

What do you mean?

 

[Sus09]

Now I freaked out, so I stopped Maca, at least for now! I am stressed enought to get higher BP and more anxiety!

My OH is taking double dose though
Jokes appart he says that he has read somewhere that during fertile times it is good for him to take two tablets a day? No clue where he read that though!

By the way what is that suplement called "fertile CM", my BFF today asked me if I was taking that as she took it before she got Pg with her little girl. I don´t have a clue what that is.

 

[dachsundmom]

To the best of my knowledge, Fertile CM, is made by the same people who make Fertilaid....let me look for the ingredient list online...there is something about it I found odd, but I cannot remember exactly what it was...

Save your $ and just buy L-argenine on it's own...the acidophilous can be bought for about $5 or you can eat yogurt.

Great Reviews
When my friend mentioned it I thought it was going to be something like Preseed, pass on more tablets for me!
So far CoQ10, folic acid and Vitamin C for me, as I have just dropped Maca.
This until I get to see my doctor in January and then I will decide what I take depending on the results.

 

[dachsundmom]

I bought some vitex, so we'll see how that goes...I haven't heard of anyone growing a beard from it, so I think it should be ok.

 

[Sus09]

We are all obsessed about growing beards now!
Let me know how that Vitex works for you. Funny enough the nurse who took my bloods mentioned that suplement to me, she rated it quite highly.

 

[dachsundmom]

What did she say about it?
