F.A.I.T.H. (Forsaking all, I trust Him)

[Dipar_Butt3]

Hello Ladies,

There is something I wanted to ask you, before I hit the hay! I was reading on implantation and the things people used to aid or help with implantation. I heard of the B-Vitamins that help it... But the “pineapple core”?? They said it also is mostly on the stem of the pineapple...They said the pineapple core or the stem suppose to help it because it has the “enzyme Bromelain that helps with the aid of implantation.


They also said that, the enzyme Bromelain can also act as a blood thinner (and so does Aspirin) that some dr use for fertility treatments to improve circulation. They went on to say it “MAY” increase blood supply to the necessary areas the body needs for implantation. Now this info came from WikiAnswers. It goes on to say that canned pineapple has no bromelain because it has been heated so the fruit has to be eaten fresh. And you have to eat it on an empty stomach otherwise the bromelain will be absorbed by the blood and instead it will react as an enzyme that will aid in helping your stomach to digest the food in your stomach.

I’m going to do more search on Bromelain. Good night ladies . See you whenever I get back on bnb. If i don't come back on soon, I wish you guys a Happy and Bless Christmas and Happy New Year!

Thats very interesting Diaper Butt! I have never heard of using pinapple before. Let me know what your findings are!
I am taking B6 to lengthen my LP and i think it worked! B6 helps the hormone that tells your body to start your period, to not start it, hence more time for implantation. Good luck doll and sweet dreams

Well girls, i wanted some reassurance so i tested with an HPT. Praise God! The hCG line showed up instantly AND it was DARKER than the test line! I am so relieved now! Now i can sit back and enjoy this pregnancy instead of worrying about MCing again. Thank you ladies for praying for me and the bean! You girls are great!

Hello ladies! I see for the most part that you all are doing pretty well!!

Sayuri-I will pray that you can get your ring back and all will be rectified for you and your husband. I know I would just be crushed if it were me!! for you!!

Guppy- I am glad you are at peace about your pregnancy! Keep having faith girl!! I am sure God has a wonderful plan for you and your baby!!

Dipar- I have never heard of pineapple before!! Hmmm . . . how interesting. . .

As you can see, I am on CD 9. . which means BD'ing every other day starting tomorrow!! I have decided not to use OPK's or anything this month. Well, I am still taking my multivitamins, but nothing else. I have had a lot more CM this month than last month, which is good!! Hope you all have a great Monday!

 

[mrskcbrown]

Hi all! Just checking in to say hello. I hope all is well. I am still taking my clomid + metformin but no OPKs for me this month. Just relaxing! Be blessed!

 

[somedaymama]

glad to see everyone is doing well...we took my nephews back tonight and now I miss them so much. It was fun to have a baby that was all mine to take care of, even if it was only for a coupld days.

diper, I don't know anything about the pineapple, but let us know what you find out!

Guppy, YAY for a nice dark !!

mrskcbrown and Rdy2BaMom, lots and lots of for this month.

Here are some sites https://www.babysnark.com/ttc-supplem...upplements.asp

Now i found more on this:

Pineapple contains bromelain. Bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme that breaks up proteins that inhibit embryo implantation. Consuming a whole pineapple (focusing on the core as it has the highest concentration of Bromelain) during a fertility cycle can be beneficial.

They said also to time it:

one pineapple , divided into 5 portions - consume one portion each day, over five days, beginning on the day after ovulation.

Be careful not to start consuming pineapple core too early in the cycle. Beginning to consume pineapple core BEFORE the recommended days above can actually affect your vaginal and cervical mucus PH, making it more acidic

Here is the web site: https://howtocutapineapple.com/

Read on this, because i saw some sites where they mention that..If you eat to much it can cause m/c. So once again ladies, do not take my word for it. I'm going to bed. Good night

 

[Sayuri]

This is so very interesting I am not taking any vitamins for a 'newbie' what essential viatamins should I be using?? can I get this from food alone?

 

[Vilranda]

Well girls. I tested this morning and got a BFN. Oh well. I was not expecting anything this month due to the way our BDing was.

Tomorrow the is due, so roll on and the new year!

to all!

Hi girlies!
Just catching up! You have been chatting!

I have had a mad busy weekend trying to get the house sorted for my family who arrive tomorrow!! My mum and I are soooo close and I can't wait to see her as she lives a 3 hour drive away. I haven't told her that I am TTC but my sister knows and am not sure if I will be able to keep it from her while she is here. I can talk to her about anything and I know she will be so supportive that it will be easier to talk to her when I am a bit down after these dreaded 2 ww!!

I reckon that I am getting close to ovulation (thanks to CM!) so am going to be at it today and tomorrow and weds!! (Quietly as my folks will be in the house!! )

Am so happy for all the good news you girls have brought, it is so lovely.
CPngrats for the BFP's (again for you guppy ) and great news about your FIL rdy2bamom!!

I am taking the prenatal vits (not sure if they are the same ones in the US)
by vitabiotics:
https://www.vitabiotics.com/Pregnacare/?utm_nooverride=1&gclid=CJ7otu_S554CFY8A4wodjDsmJw
I am taking the trying to concieve one which contains:

Folic Acid – Pregnacare® Conception provides 400mcg folic acid, the exact level recommended by the UK Department of Health for all women who are trying to conceive. As well as the healthy development of the foetal neural tube, folic acid may also play a role in conception, and is required in the first days and weeks of life, before you are even aware that you are pregnant.

Antioxidant minerals with natural vitamin E – Important co-factors in antioxidant enzymes, to help protect genetic material from free radical damage. Vitamin E is an essential nutrient, important for helping maintain healthy skin, nerves, heart and circulation, muscles and red blood cells. Pregnacare® Conception contains a low recommended dietary intake of 20mg. This is present in the natural form which is better absorbed by the mother and transported to the foetus than synthetic vitamin E.

Inositol – Inositol may help support ovarian function and influence fertility. It is involved in the cell signalling pathway which influences fertilization and cell growth.

L-Arginine – Well known as a precursor in nitric oxide (NO) metabolism, L-arginine can influence release of the egg from the ovaries (follicular release) as well as healthy follicular blood flow and implantation.

N-acetyl cysteine – A precursor of glutathione, an important antioxidant in the body. N-acetyl cysteine is also important for healthy cervical secretions.

Vitamin B12 – Part of the B complex group of vitamins, it has been found that B12 supplementation can help to maintain healthy ovarian function and reproductive health.

So I am hoping that they will work!! Sayuri - the absolute minimum vits you should take is 400mcg of Folic acid (alone or in a multivit) as this is essential for very early growth and proventition of spina bifida.

Re pineapples - how fascinating Dipar! I have heard about eating pineapple to loose weight but not for TTC! Interesting!

Well, I break up tomorrow from work and am not sure how much i will get online (I try on my phone but it is hard to read on my blackberry ) So wishing you all a fabulous christmas, and lots and lots of blessed

Fingers crossed for our BFP's!! 5th of Jan for me!!...

Ooo almost forgot!! I found this lovely poem about friendship and made me think of you guys!! lol

"Portrait of a Friend"

I can't give solutions to all of life's problems, doubts,
or fears. But I can listen to you, and together we will
search for answers.

I can't change your past with all it's heartache and pain,
nor the future with its untold stories.
But I can be there now when you need me to care.

I can't keep your feet from stumbling.
I can only offer my hand that you may grasp it and not fall.

Your joys, triumphs, successes, and happiness are not mine;
Yet I can share in your laughter.

Your decisions in life are not mine to make, nor to judge;
I can only support you, encourage you,
and help you when you ask.

I can't prevent you from falling away from friendship,
from your values, from me.
I can only pray for you, talk to you and wait for you.

I can't give you boundaries which I have determined for you,
But I can give you the room to change, room to grow,
room to be yourself.

I can't keep your heart from breaking and hurting,
But I can cry with you and help you pick up the pieces
and put them back in place.

I can't tell you who you are.
I can only love you and be your friend.
Anon.

This song has been running through my head this morning:

When I fall down you pick me up,
When I am dry you fill my cup.
You are my all in all.

 

[Aster]

Aww thats lovely!

[im_mi]

Hey sisters.

I just wanted to post because i am feeling really low today. Maybe im just hormonal and tired but i feel pretty crappy. Finding it hard to see the positives in anything. plus i have to have a very awkward and difficult conversation with my husband soon and i am nervous of the outcome.

If you remember, please pray for me. i need all of the strength in the world right now.

 

[Guppy051708]

Will do im_mi

 

[J_K_L]

Im_Im,

Here is a prayer for inner peace. I am saying one for you as well.

Lord, please put your peace in my heart. I'm worried and anxious. My mind races and obsesses. I can't help thinking about my problems. And the more I think about them, the more depressed I become. I feel like I'm sinking down in quicksand and can't get out. Calm me, Lord. Slow me down, put your peace in my heart.

No matter what problem I have, Lord, you are bigger, you are more powerful than it is. So I bring my problem to you. I know what I want. I know my will. I do not know yours. I do not know how you will use this problem for my salvation. I do not know what good you will workout at this evil. But I trust you. I trust your goodness and your wisdom. So I place myself in your hands. Please fill my heart with peace.

I get overwhelmed and this helps.

Rdy, Could you put me as testing on Dec 30?

 

[Dipar_Butt3]

Speaking of Rdy2,

How are you? What's new in Texas? How are things?

 

[im_mi]

JKL thank you so much for that prayer. I got all shivery when i read it aloud to myself i love our Lord so much and I so want to be a strong woman of God.

 

[somedaymama]

praying, im_mi.

There Is no problem too big God cannot solve It
There Is no mountain too tall he cannot move It
There Is no storm too dark god cannot calm It
There Is no sorrow too deep he cannot soothe It

If he carried the weight of the world up on his shoulders
I know my brother that he will carry you
If he carried the weight of the world up on his shoulders
I know my sister that he will carry you

 

[mrskcbrown]

Im_mi, I too am praying for you. Yes you might be hormonal but its ok to feel that way sometimes. I hope that God blesses you in your conversations with your husband!

Sidenote: Pray for the return of my cat, Robyn. DH was painting today and left the door cracked and she left out and we just realized that she isnt in the house!! She usually doesnt go as far as the bushes and whines to come back in. Now she has been gone for a while and I fear she isnt coming home! My daughter is so sad about it and me too.

Thanks!

 

[somedaymama]

aww I hope you find your cat!!

on a side note, I didn't know that you have a daughter! Shows how much I pay attention...
