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

[somedaymama]

Hi everyone! :wave: I've had family here the last couple days which has been GREAT but I missed you all!

Im_mi, I am SO sorry to hear you had another chemical. This is such a hard time, I know. Try to lean on your DH for support and not shut him out, even though it's hard because he probably can't totally understand.

Sayuri, congratulations!!! Yay for a !!

Willynilly, I don't know about the nosebleed thing, but your chart is looking good! Your temp is still climbing!

I'm never quite sure what to call you guys when I talk about you to my DH, so for now you're my "Christian friends on the baby board." It means so much to share this journey with you all. My friends in real life are either 1) single or 2) quite fertile and have trouble avoiding unplanned pregnancy, not trouble getting pregnant. Plus, unless it's a really really good friend (and even then) you just can't talk to people IRL about your cervical position and if xxxx is a simple of pregnancy. They'd just think we were weird. My sister is pretty much the best girl friend I've ever had, but I'd never in a million years ask her if she thinks I timed my BD correctly for conception!!!

 

[Willynilly]

Someday - haha - that's funny and so true about not being able to tell people you see face to face about your conception adventures.

"Grandma - my cm was crumbly yet sticky yesterday - and should I be concerned that dh doesn't want to bd as much as I do?"



I can only imagine. plus the other thing is - people that had no trouble conceiving usually don't know ALL the stuff you guys know. bbt, cp, cm, ov strips, etc. so you are all the best advice givers! and of course, it's awesome that we pray for each other.

my temp is high again today and I haven't slept well for going on 3 nights now. I just feel uncomfortable is the best way to put it...plus my stomach bothers me all night. but - I'm trying not to get too hopeful b/c I've certainly had signs before that turned out to be nothing. could be my prenatals which always give me a little trouble.

have a good day all!

Hey everyone! Willynilly, your signs sound promising but I know about not getting your hopes up. I have been doing this too long, so I no longer listen to my body. It plays tricks on me! As for me, we have just been BDing every other day. My siggy says I "O" in 4 days but I truly believe that I have "O'd" already. I had those O pains starting late sunday into monday and so we BD 25, 28 and today. We will continue to BD every other day through Jan 3.

@Dipar: That sounds promising. What did they call the break through bleeding? Did she say it could be implantation? I can never see clearly on those ultrasound machines. Glad that your mom is there with you. Does she know you are TTC? GL.

@im_mi: We are definitely here for you. I hope the DRs can find out what the issue and correct it. Im praying for you still.

Babydust to all.

I didn't know you took prenatals(why shouldn't I?) What prenatals are you taking? Because my stomach been all over the place..Queezy, gassy rumbling all over the place like a boiling pot on the stove lol. Gas pains here and there. I take the One-A-Day prenatals with the Omega-3 pill that came with it.

@Mrskcbrown:

I'm praying it is implantation. She couldn't really tell me what that was. She said that it's normal for blood flow in there. But she couldn't really say for sure what that was, she only advice me to wait until I get that report from the OB and that wouldn't be until next Monday. Yes my mom came with me, but she never went inside where I was. Yes she knows i'm TTC. Thanks

Dipar_Butt, i take Spring Valley prenatals and i havn't had a problem with them at all. But i usually dont get queasy or anything like that.

Guppy,

How are you mama! How have you been feeling these day? I never heard of Spring Valley prenatals. When i was pregnant with my other kids, i normally took the prenatals that the doctor would gave me. And the same thing, stomach issues.

Wow i'm all ready in the 1ww..Time sure do fly. How is the weather in State College? Are you guys getting more snow like we are down here in Indiana Pa?

 

[Guppy051708]

No snow yet, but knock on wood!
Its FREEZING outside!!! BRrrr.
Anywho, the prenatals that i am currently taking are over-the counter from Wal*Mart in the vitamin section

I have been feeling great! Some days i have to remind myself there is a baby in there because i seem to have a lack of symptoms. Dreading getting to 9 weeks. I feel like once i make it past the time (8+3) i MCed last time than i can truley enjoy this pregnancy. I am def. putting trust in God, and i really do believe this one is a sticky, but ive been having bad dreams about MCs so that keeps me on my toes.

 

[Willynilly]

Dipar - hey girl! hope to hear your results soon...and on me, I do in fact think it could just be the prenatals. last month I stopped taking them when I was pretty sure we didn't have a chance (I know I know - I should take them all the time) but they just make me so queasy. but I have a very sensitive tummy...Panera makes me run to the bathroom as does a list of about 15 other chains.

DH is a health and vitamin junkie - so he researched and bought "Nature's Way "Prenatal Multi" and then I also take Spectrum "Prenatal DHA"...I don't even know what I am taking - I just do as he says. but the funny thing is - I'm reading the label on the "Multi" and it says Stomach Gentle. Funny - although it prob is - I am just a weanie.

anyhoo - I started taking the prenatals again on O day. So I could still be getting used to them. But I don't know that they would keep me from sleepin at night? DH said that my face had the pregnant glow two days ago. I'm like "are you crackin up? pregnant glow?" but I still loved hearing it. so today I put on more blush.

Someday - never answered you on Group B Strep from several days ago. So, I guess 40% of women are "carriers" of it ...which means nothing. it can rear its head whenever - if it is gonna, it is usually during childbirth - some docs like to administer drugs to babies as they are born to protect them from it - haven't really done all my research as to what it can do. anyway, I've had ATROCIOUS yeast infections for my whole life. always told by mult gynos that it is b/c I'm a dancer and wear tights a lot. yada yada. but then for three months this summer it was so horrible that over the counter didn't help. so gyno did tests and they come back with that. I took antibiotics (hate all drugs - yet I take them more than anyone it seems) and it cleared up. hasn't returned yet. thank Jesus. I just pray it stays clear. But in the meantime, I try not to eat much yeast or sugar since that propagates yeast overgrowth.

Wowzers - I am a typer today!

Guppy,

I'm going to pray that this one will stick..And pray for all other sticky pregnancies..No more M/C's and Chimerical(and i hope i spelled that right)! Later i want to see our pregnancies progressing and see babies later on..

Yea, the vitamins get me the same way. queesy and gassy. I started to take my prenatals right after my last AF until now..I take them 1 hour after after eating and still it messes me up..I can tell the difference with the cramps then before..And i didn't want to symptom spot, but there are somethings you just can't ignore..Even if you never had them before. Not the norm AF cramps but more like a pulling and tugging.

 

[mrskcbrown]

Guppy glad to see you doing well and Yes this is a sticky one. I believe that! Sounds like we are talking about sticky notes, LOL!!!! Anyway, praying for you!

 

[Dipar_Butt3]

Sticky notes...Yes we have!! LOL. I'm believing for a whole wonderful things to come our way in 2010 not just having a baby(even though that's one of them)...

 

[somedaymama]

Thanks for the info, willynilly. I've never had my sis actually explain it to me.

What is it about prenatals that makes you guys sick? Is it the brand you use, or do you just have sensitive stomachs? I don't really have a strong stomach but I've never had trouble with prenatals. I currently take these, but I've used a couple other brands before and not had issue. Do you guys take them with food?

To me someday it's my stomach. It doesn't matter what brand name the prenatals are. They all do the same. And I always take my prenatals with food 1 hour after I eat

 

[mrskcbrown]

Prenatals dont bother me either. The crazy part is that I dont take prenatals. I do this because I am not BFP and until I get BFP then I will take prenatals. I know you are suppose to do this prior to but I didnt take them until I found out I was BFP with my daughter and she turned out just fine. I am already taking metformin + clomid, and I just dont want to add any other pills into the mix just yet.

When I did take them I just used Stuarts from over the counter. I hope you find one that doesnt mess with your tummies!!!

 

[Willynilly]

Dipar - I've found that the only way I don't get major nauseaus is if I take them immediately before I eat...then the food help digest them and take them through my system more easily. Just a tip - maybe it would help.

Someday - yeah - I am just a sensitive Sally - I don't know that very many people get the upset tummy. It's not too bad if I take them before I eat...but if after or on an empty stomach - watch out!

Willy,

Thanks for the tip. I'll try that next time. I take the prenatals because my OB told me i should. So by the time I DO get pregnant. It will help a lot so my baby wouldn't have any birth defects. I did this when i was pregnant with my first two.

 

[somedaymama]

If you eat a good, balanced diet with enough folic acid (dark green, leafy vegetables or fortified bread), you can get away with not taking the prenatal until you get your . However, if you have a deficient diet or even if you just want to be extra careful, it's a good idea to take them. I take a multivitamin even when I'm not TTC, so it's just an extra step of carefulness to take a prenatal (extra 400 mcg of folic acid).

Willynilly, I always do take them with my breakfast, so maybe that is part of why I don't have trouble.

 

[Rmar]

Yeah, though if you are looking for foods with folic acid, you wont find any because when it comes naturally in foods it is called folate. I eat a high folate cereal and I love spinache so I don't take anything right now. My doctor once told me that if everyone ate a good, balanced diet that is suited to them, there would be no need for diet suppliments.
