Btw sorry if my posts dont make sense today, I have swollen glands, feel like rubbish but have to work as I work from home, no excuse to do nothing! :nope:
 
Hey sammylou, I've never heard of angus castus...What is it? Is it something you can buy over the counter or is it prescribed? Oh I would love to work from home! How do you do it? I've seen like the virtual call center type jobs,but I'm just not sure if thats for me. But making money from home where I could be a stay at home mom would just thrill me.
 
Agnus castus is a herb, we have it from holland and barratt over here but Im sure you can get it over there! I just take two a day and Ive not had regular periods as such but 3 in 3 months works for me! Its sold as a womans vitamin, not sure how it works but it does!

Well its dull staying at home, always sounds more appealing than it is! I process benefit claims but log into work through their systems. The plus points, i dont have to leave the house, negative, some days I NEVER leave the house or see anyone from the time my husband leaves to work and returns and let me tell you, my cats dont talk back :haha:
I have work to do so cant look after a family too but at times when our system is broke, can have spare time to clean and stuff so guess its not all bad.

My auntie works from home too as a childminder (day care if you like) and she earns quiet a bit! She did it when her 3 were small so she could be at home and earn something extra.
 
@babyjla - from what I'm understanding, depending on the blood test you actually do, it might not be better then a urine test anyway. That's one of the reasons that I'm going back in today to have a new blood test done. They will be doing a quantitative test (measures exact amount of hCG in the body) as opposed to a qualitative (which is what I had done on Monday and can actually have a higher limit then some of the more sensitive hpt's). So even if they'd done a blood test, you might have had the same result. I'm not sure if that makes you feel better or not, but it's something that I'm learning about now with my situation.
 
Sammylou, ohhh okay. I'll look around and see if we have that in our stores lol. My doctor told me the provera SHOULD help regulate my cycles, so...But then again I've never been regular so I'm not surprised it didnt. If we have the angus castus, I'll try it. I'll try anything lol.

Dodgercpkl, Okay, yeah I didnt know that. I took one last pregnancy test today, just to kind of put my mind to ease, and it was negative. If I were pregnant I would have been 9 weeks along, so even the cheapies that don't need higher amounts of hcg should have detected SOMETHING. And there wasn't anything. So I'm pretty satisfied that I'm not. And I don't know what the symptoms were, but I do know now that I cant trust my body to let me know when I am. I'll just have to go by tests, cause I had like every symptom in the book. So this round I'm not sure HOW I'm going to tell besides a test, I just know that any symptom I have I wont be linking it to pregnancy haha. I'm so excited to hear the results of your test!!

Yeah I'm learning so much stuff just about every day with this I swear. I do have a tiny bit of partial news though. My OB had me come in to do a new blood draw, and while there they did a urine test.... which came back.... wait for it.... wait for it.... positive! So that makes 10 positive tests from 3 different manufacturers over 4 days. :) I'll get the quant results tomorrow by noon my time. :)
 
dodgercpkl!!! Thats so exciting!!! Yayyy! I got my fingers crossed for you that everything stays going smoothly! CONGRATS!!! You must be over the top excited!
 
I'm trying hard to keep myself grounded and not count my chick before it's officially impregnated... lol. I'm just very hopeful for tomorrow!

Oh bless you, but at least they have seen it with their own eyes a positive test! Sometimes when i go see my doctor I swear they think im lying to them, like I have anything to gain by doing it!!

I'm ALWAYS learning something new with this illness, mainly thanks to people like you guys who find it out for me :haha:

Haha! I think my OB was worried that I thought they thought that too. I knew they didn't though... they were just going by the only thing they had seen.

Hehe... I'm glad I can test run a few things for you beforehand, but please let this be the last until I hold my beautiful baby in my arms ok? :haha:

Deal :winkwink:

Though think Ive got (hoping) im having ovulation pains today!
 
Thanks hun!

I have to say finding this tread on here makes it easier and more hopeful. When Im surrounded day on day by people having children at the drop of a hat, it gets frustrating to try and make people understand!
 
Oh yeah I definitely get that. It seemed like everyone is always bugging me about why we don't have kids yet, or telling me to "relax and they'll come"... argh. lol
 
Worst I had was my best friend who burst into tears when she told me she was pregnant with her second (now born, 14 weeks old and sooo sweet!).

I never wished anyone to not have their happy endings and felt bad she felt worried to tell me! :cry:

My sister, well there is a different story, 4 kids and half the time she has farmed them out to others to look after because she is too lazy to care about them. Makes me beyond angry! :growlmad:
 
Ugh yea I can totally get that. And then add to that the teenagers that are having them, or my cousin that had 2-3 abortions, gave up 2-3 kids to adoption all because she was a crackhead and couldn't be bothered to have protected sex. >.<
 
Ouch yeah that sounds bad, she sounds worse than my sister and that is saying something!

I work in benefits so bascially i process money for people (mostly) who cant be bothered to go get jobs, stay at home and breed and they always always manage to have a house full of kids! Learned a long time ago that life wasnt quiet as balanced as it should be!
 
Yep I know exactly how you feel. I haven't worked in that field, but I've had enough experience to see that for myself anyway.
 
hi everyone

i have been ttc for 5 years now and have been diagnosed with pcos and type 2 diabetes i have had 3 pregnancy losses.

I am now on metformin to help my diabetes but i am hoping that it will help me conceive aswell.

Hope that we all get our bfp.
xx
