Those brownies.....look......AMAZING. Hmmmm... slutty. I guess I am cheating on my diet.

Yeah, I hear you about the diet thing. I ate crappy in my 20's, started really eating great when I hit 33-ish. Didn't seem to make much of a difference. Well, lost some weight. But fertility-wise....

I had my DS1 at 29, DS2 4 years later, no problems conceiving, easy, healthy, straightforward pregnancies and births. Found "grain-free/high-fat/traditional" eating, m/c's and fertility issues . I don't think that's necessarily the sole cause but I absolutely believe that it helped to spin some things out of control for me as well as for my DS1 so our issues got so much worse.

That could very well be. It just sucks to have to be so monk-like in our eating habits.

Yep, that's why we don't do it anymore . We were very strict for a long time and only got more problems. We went back to what we were doing before which was everything in moderation and my DS1's issues are for sure getting better. We'll see about mine .

Oldermom-I am SOOO sorry. I noticed the thread had picked up, but I wasn't expecting this news at all. Definitely go see a doctor. Maybe it'll be a different one from last time and you'll actually like him. It can't hurt.

Oh, and yeah to all the food/drinks you mentioned, except I don't like Diet soda. Keep us updated, and *hugs* again. Sorry.

Sis-Yeah!! Go for the gold! hee hee.

Yeah, I think we will go to some specialists...I just don't want to be treated like a know-nothing ditz. When he DX'd our blighted ovum (after 6+years of trying and two other previous chemical pregnancies from high quality embryo transfers), we were told by him that my ideas about my fertility were unwarranted- and if that wasn't bad enough- the ever annoying, 'Relax, don't cry, it will happen'.

Yay for French fries!!!!

 

[ttcinseattle]

Oldermom I'm so so sorry, I'm heartbroken for you Go eat all the fries, and before you give up coffee, make yourself a nice strong hot toddy to go with.

Funny how you can come to care so much about the outcomes of people's lives that you simply chat with on the Internet.

Sis and Momof3 good luck, and Fx the stork doesn't mix up your babies lol!

Terri, your chart is still looking strong! Feeling good for you, girl!

Yeah, that doc was sort of horrible. And what kind of whackadoodle tells a miscarrying woman not to cry??

One of the 'idiosyncrasies' of living in the middle east is that it is illegal to drink alcohol. So this particular country instead instituted a license system where people who can demonstrate that they aren't Muslim can drink.

A conceited, POS, douchebag, that's what kind . I've dealt with those . Either that or they're drunk. Either way they suck and need to be double back-slapped.

I was thinking maybe the middle east is where you guys are. Do you get a lot of flack for going in to get the license? Are you guys expats? I hope I'm not coming off too, too nosy , just curious about other people's worlds .

 

[oldermom1975]

I'm sorry that my negative crap has taken over this thread tonight- but I did want to relay this one slightly humorous event that took place in the greek tragedy that was my blighted ovum:
So after the afore mentioned meeting with the doc that DX'd my blighted ovum, I was shuttled then to a nursing station inside of the OB unit of this hospital (yep, this whole thing took place in a section of the hospital where I quite literally heard the heartbeats of the babies inside of happy moms in adjacent rooms). The nurses then prepped me on what I would need to do to prepare for my D&C the following morning. Then we spent a few hours twiddling our thumbs until I was checked into the hospital that night. The nurse gave me a tablet to insert into my VJ to soften up my cervix, and then asked to 'check me'. Well, I had no idea what she was going to look at, but thought (as most women would in this fertility journey), it was just another person who wanted to look at my hoo-ha. No biggie. So she looks down there and says to me, "you didn't shave".
"Huh?
What?"
"You didn't shave. Would you like me to do it?" (my DH makes a small 'Hmp' sound indicating at that point he nearly swallowed his tounge)
"Ah...no."
"Ok, you need to shave, I will bring you a mirror and a razor".
I just sat there with my mouth agape. A few minutes later she hands me a hand mirror and a mens shaving razor. So I waddle to the bathroom (as the cervical pill is starting to taken effect and walking felt strange). I spent the next twenty minutes awkwardly positioning myself over the mirror, which was precariously perched on the toilet seat so I could perform my service for the nurse, and ever so slowly started shaving a place that is never ever EVER meant to be shaved. After knocking the mirror off at least twice and breaking to clear the hair on the mirror blocking my line of sight, I emerge from the bathroom nearly clean shaven. And razor burned.
My freakin' vulva was razor burned!!!
The nurse came in to check my work after about an hour.
It wasn't good enough, and again offered to shave me herself.
I politely declined again, and waddled back to the bathroom to complete the job. Thankfully, this time it was good enough.
It was the only part of the experience that we still laugh about to this day.

Nah, but you do pay up the wazoo for it. I think it was nearly $400.
We are expats, DH works for a college here as a math prof. It pays the bills.

Oldermom ~ I'm so so sad to hear this news. At your request, I'll put up the angel for you after I post this.

Sis ~ Woohoo! Lots of + opk's recently.

I think o'ing is in process for me right now. Neg opk again this am, after last nights neg, and yesterday's during the day pos. Last month, I had pos the day before o as well as two days before o. Day of o was a neg opk. That matches for this month too if I'm o'ing today. Plus, I've been getting o pains since I woke up this am, and they're getting stronger now. Left side is pretty strong, and feels like the right side is trying to do something this month as well, but the pain over there isn't as strong. I happened to be awake at 4 am today, which is a half hour late for when I take temp in home time zone. Had a good six hours of sleep at that point, so I took temp anyway, and adjusted it for half hour late as if at home, and the temp was right there with my other pre-o temps. I think I'll just keep doing this to keep it all consistent. Wake at 4 am, and adjust for 1/2 hour late. IF I get to bed by 10 to have enough sleep! Expecting a temp rise tomorrow if all is working right. Glad we bd'ed last night. We're still in the game, and didn't miss o after all. O'ing today will be a Labor Day due date if successful.
