9babiesgone, hi. I'm sorry that you've endured so many losses. I meant to tell you that that is reason enough for them to do betas, or even if it's just to relieve your stress it's a good enough reason. My ob will do betas for me upon my request, but I don't think that my regular dr would so easily. Being assertive that you need it and expect
it helps. Like Katie calling and being so persistent. If that doesn't work, your dr is supposed to be working foe you, you are supposedto be working together as a team, if he can't give you that then maybe it's time for another dr. Just having peace of mind is worth so much. Lots of ladies fake pain to get betas and ultrasounds, I'm not so good at that. If you're worried, please do what you need to in order to get someone to listen. Best of luck, and you probably don't have anything to worry about. It's hard not to be scared when things have happened in the past. Hugs.

Mummylove, hope you found some bd time. Even if you didn't get to though, if o was already over it wouldn't matter anyway, besides it's really no fun to have to be quiet. :)

Andrea, I'm sorry about your lo. We've had croup several times and we've had whooping cough too. Fwiw, when my kids had whooping cough the dr told me that they call it croup until it's proven to be whooping cough. I had several with it at the same time so they tested. My tips, use a tent indoors is possible, camp in the tent with him so you can watch closely, pit the humidifier in the tent. Use a nebulizer if you have one. If he has another spell, the cool damp night air will often stop it asap, also a steamy bathroom. It's usually only this bad for a night or two. Good luck to you and I hope and pray he gets better soon.

I saw it on your test yeserday, second pic in a cassette for sure. :). It wasn't you that hurt my feelings, I promise. My point was just that we can all say something wrong sometimes, I think I may have hurt someone's feelings on here too.

Daisy, I agree with what you're saying about still taking the maca. I was planning on not taking it from 7dpo until af. I was rethinking that maybe it would be better to not take it from after o is confirmed until 7dpo, considering our bodies are already preparing for the next o before af comes????? I'm with you on the poas, I haven't yet but only because I couldn't get to my peesticks. I want to follow in Katies footsteps and get a bfp at 7dpo:). I don't normally start testing until 8dpo.

Katie, I think it's safe to say that the 'something' you saw yesterday really was something. While dozing earlier, I has a very short glimpse of a dream. I was trying to stay awake. Anyway, in my dream I came to visit you and you were busy. You said, you can't come see us now, we're getting ready to leave. There were two infant carseats at your feet, with two very plump healthy babies. They had pretty and delicate faces like little girls. I don't know that they were girls. Let me get to the good part. These babies were young, like not coordinated enough to hold things deliberately but enough to grab things anywhere and put it to their mouthes. Guess what they were holding?? This is nuts. They were holding those huge lollipops, too heavy for them. They were more like balanced on the stick and they kept getting them in their mouthes. They were STICKY Katie! They were sticky from head to toe. I totally understand your fears but you have to let it go and not let yourself spend lots of time thinking about that. I really think that at only 8dpo and your awesome beta that you've got a sticky baby. You definitely have an early implanter too. I'm so happy you got a bfp early too because now you don't have to keep testing, I'm totally joking. I can't wait to watch your baby grow through watching the lines getting darker. Oh, I can make her some hairbows????

I took my child to the ER and they told me nothing. I hate that I have to pay them to tell me to follow up with our dr. Duh? I do feel better that I did my part and he's not in danger. They checked all of the neurological signs, made him do silly things like touch his Noreen and bend over and touch his toes trying to see if it would happen again. It reminded me of Verizon checking my cell phone because they didn't believe me that it kept shutting off. He ate a Popsicle and said he felt way better, then he said he felt sick again, his blood sugar was 141 when he felt sick again. So I will definitely follow up with the dr on Monday.

Afm, I think I'm 7dpo since it's 2:30am. Maybe I'm only 6, I should check. Tomorrow I will rearrange my room again and getto my peesticks. We bd, and it hurt my tummy like right after o. Felt like he was hitting something. I dislike that feeling, but it's always that way right after o, but not usually this late. I keep waking with heartburn. I hope it's a sign. I know, don't we all? It's fun to hope. I shall hope.

I hope that you are all sleeping well.

Zoie, are you testing again tomorrow? Who's testing with me? Amber, are you in? There are bfps to be had, let's claim them. Daisy, hurry to the dollar store!

Oh Daisy, you're not crazy or bipolar, you're just ttc and it's hard. You are so sweet, I don't have real sxs anyway, just those silly things your brain makes you analyze over and over and in detail. I know it's not real stuff. I just want to be HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY. I think we both need to take some Ambien and get to sleep though or our temps won't be accurate. I think you're 2 dpo with two high temps, but really it's already tomorrow so you're 3dpo.

I'll definitely test tomorrow and post, my dh is leaving for a bit anyway.

My maca is by NSI, it's 525mg. I need for my dh to be more in the mood, he tries to be in the mood but he's so freaked and scared about not working things don't always/normally work as they should. Not that it matters that much, we've had 4 more babies this way as it is.

The soy, I took it when my cycles were already messed up. I was oing late, late for me was after cd18 and I Od on cd16. I had intense O pain, and I think it freaked out my body enough to get back on a normal schedule/cycle. My last soy cycle, I went in with midcycle bleeding and I had a cyst on one ovary. Maybe from the soy, maybe the soy resolved it because my cycles got better from there. Maybe I took too much, I was trying for 120mg but sometimes I wouldn't remember if I took it or not and take another. I wanted to O right so bad. I would definitely try it again. I felt like O was more intense on soy than what it is now on Femara. If the maca has you regulated well I wouldn't mess with a good thing. I'd just hang tight and see what happens.

babyhopes, I think if you know maca works you should do that.

I gotta get off of here before my dh has a cow.

Nite, for real this time. My ipod is dead so I can't sneak back on.
 
its just after having mc im paranoid taking all this things will increase the risk
 
Mummylove, looks like you are 2dpo, congrats!!! Tomorrow when you put in another high temp you should get crosshairs.

Daisy, I wouldn't believe that. Maca capsules are just dried ground maca. The same thing, although I don't know how many capsules you would have to take to get a teaspoon of maca powder. I think that it's a ploy to get you to buy their product. As long as it says it only contained maca I think you're good. Did you notice anything different this cycle than before maca? How about your dh? Did he have any changes? My conclusions are that maca is just a root vegetable like a beet or a raddish, it can't hurt because it's a food. I'm totally comfortable with this one and I'm usually pretty hesitent about supplements until I understand them. I'm ready to take mine, my dh already started because he was anxios to try it.

Nite again.

Thanks babyhopes2010. I'm very sorry for your loss. :hugs: After my most recent MC I decided it was time to do everything I possibly could to get my body ready to carry a baby. I'm hoping getting to a healthy body weight will help stabilize my hormones though since this last MC they've been all over the place. But PMA! I think I'm finally about to have a normal cycle and hopefully that will help with the weightloss too. It's been at a standstill since the MC with the wonky hormones.

I wish you the best of luck on your weightloss journey and TTC. :D

I quit smoking in Jan. 2008 and made it my goal at that time to not gain a single pound. I wasn't necessarily looking to lose weight per se, but I just didn't want to gain any. Then in March of 2008 I ended up with a massive DVT and pulmonary embolism and almost died at 27 years old so that was my wake up call. The doctor told me it was directly related to my weight. For me, I had dieted for years and had literally lost a ton of weight over the span of my lifetime, so I had a lapband installed in in November of 2008. Really though, it was the exercise that got me really losing weight. The reduction in my food intake helped me to a degree, but I really started seeing the pounds melt off when I started weight training. I also set small goals so it didn't seem so daunting. If I had sat down on the day I decided I needed to lose weight and said "I have to lose 175lbs" I'd have just set myself up to fail. So I set 20lbs increments until I hit 100lbs lost, and then 10lbs at a time until now. Now I'm itching to get the last 25-ish off. I can't go on hormonal treatments like the pill to stabilize my hormones, so the miscarriage I had in September has really thrown my body for a loop and I've just been losing and gaining the same 5-7lbs over the last few months. I've also been really ill for the last few months so that certainly hasn't helped as I haven't been able to exercise much or eat properly. But I'm feeling better and optimistic that the weight's going to start coming off now. I'm happy with 0.5-1lb a week at this point. I know realistically the last 20-ish pounds are the hardest to lose. Just need to increase the veggies and decrease the cookies. :blush:


Don't beat yourself up for the 7lbs. You're human and you're hurting right now and if that's the crutch you need, allow for it. As each day goes on you'll start to feel the joy in life a little more and the hurt a little less. :hugs:

Congrats on quitting smoking, I know how difficult that is. And you're right, if you can do that, you can do anything!! :D

Gosh I'm a little long-winded, hehehe. :dohh:
