[TntArs06]

Thank you girls for the and support. It was super rough for a while and then I had postpartum really bad and then Amy left..so it was rough.. But I got the hang of things now and in control and the girls are amazing. I dont know how I do it everyday considering Amy and I had a problem figuring it all out when they were first born...but somehow I do it alone...interesting how its easier now than it was with her here. LOL

Linny- What a little cutie! I love her pics! I gotta get some recent pics on here! So glad to see you again!

SBB- Good luck hun! Can't wait to hear how it went!

Yazzy- Its pretty crazy when you really think about being pregnant and something is growing in there. It tripped me out all the time! LOL and I always thought wow I have two in there...they must be squished!


Ava is the one in dress and Naila (pernounced Nyla) is the one in a onsie. Hehe

Hi ladies i hate to highjack your thread but hoping for an answer.I took 900 milligrams of maca a day my last cycle which was the 24th of october. On November 11 thru the 13th i had some pink/brown discharge but only when i wiped. Nothing ever made it to my undies. So i stopped the maca thinking it could be ib. When the witch was due i waited but nothing. Is it possible that the maca changed my cycle and the spotting was the witch? She would have been 8 days early? Please can anyone help??? I am currently 11 days late but still getting neg tests.

Ya I have a thing that you can't search me and find me unless were friends. I only have that there bc i have some dangerous family member and I dont want to be found. But if you send me a link to you then I can friend request you. hehe Cause I forgot your last name

Oh and I can't wait to find out what your dating scan reveals!

Hello, I had ALWAYS had a super long cycle bout 36 days and the things maca helped me with was shortening my cycle a couple days and helping me with my endometriosis. And I believe most women had their cycles go a bit shorter after taking it. I dont think your spotting was from the maca. But I guess you never know. What CD were you on when you had the spotting? Was it during the 2ww? I guess I can look to see if you have a chart

And the mg of maca you are taking is kinda low and I highly doubt it would make your cycle longer. Most of us took between 1500-3000 daily. I took 1575mg of it. So I dont think it would be the maca. Maybe your tests aren't showing up just yet. Some women dont get a postive until later. Or your cycle could just be a little wacky this time. Is it normal to have a wacky cycle every now and then? Were you super stressed this month? I know a friend on BNB and her cycle would go crazy once she got to see her husband. So stress definitely screws things up. Sorry bout billion questions just could be alot of things?

Thanks for the reply tnt. My cycles have always been normal. Between 26 and 28 days. Ovulation right around cd 13. The spotting was on cd19. 6days post ov. Ive never had spotting like that before or an af this late in the two years ive been tracking my cycles. I have actually been pretty laid back since we were more ntnp then ttc. Ive had on and off sickness and headaches and ALOT of cm since the spotting. i wasnt sure the maca would play a part but figured it wouldnt hirt to ask some experts btw i have to say all of your babies are so cute and congrats.
Thanks agin for your help!!

quick hello from me!! last few days been crazy, my OH is back at work now and I've really not had a minute!! Kia been quite unsettled this week, and BF has been taking its toll on me!! today was a lot better though, and we had quite a good sleep last night so I'm feeling more human!!

TNT - lovely to hear from you, so sorry to hear about your difficulties and Amy leaving you. That sucks to happen at such an important and precious time. Big respect to you for being a single mum to twins and sending you big hugs too

Hi everyone else, will try catch up properly in next few days!!!

here's latest pic of Kia

 

[Linny]

TNT....your babies are soooooo cute. I really admire you an i think your fantastic for being positive for your girls

SBB...ha ha i recognised the pic from this thread, just accepted your request Thats great there sending you for an early scan, how far along do you think you are with how your feeling? Gosh sooooo broody right now Were you back on the maca train?

Lilfrog..i wish i could help hun. Like tnt says your dose is pretty low, i took 1500-2000mg and my cycles were always messed up and i alwasy got spotting regardless of maca. I wouldn't have thought that would be what caused the spotting. Can you get a blood test done at the dr?

Leeze...awwww so cute! Maisy looks so huge now, i look back at pics of her and can't believe she was ever so small. She is super long though, think she's gonna be tall! Oh i came across an old pad i used to write the wakeups of maisy when she was about 8 weeks old cos i wanted to show the health visitor at the time and wow she used to wake up about 5/6 times for feeds. I dont know how i did it

 

[SBB]

Linny no I wasn't on maca, never even got my cycle back we were just ntnp... Since I had such whacky cycles before I didn't think it would happen!
I guess I'm 7-8 weeks...

Leeze its really hard when your OH has to go back.. I struggled too when Danny went back, but I will just say again that it does get easier!!! I promise you just have to muddle through and know that it will become clearer and get easier!

I second that TNT you're doing a great job!

Lilfrog I had really long cycles 65+ days, and maca shortened them quite a bit. I always got spotting too with or without maca so not sure what to say about that... I guess just wait it out - I know that's frustrating! Do you ever spot when you ovulate? You could be having a long cycle?

Leeze- Sorry OH had to head back to work. Before Amy left, and she went back to work. I remember freaken out!! And she only took a week off and that included my recovery time in hospital from Csect. And I was BFing at the time too. It does get a little easier though I might add...specially as you have a routine down. Then you get used to your routine and somehow feels like its easier! Love the pic too...she is just precious!

Lilfrog- Could that be implantation bleeding maybe? The first time I got preg I had the spotting. Unfortunately had a MC with that one and then after all that stuff that happened got preg again with twins and didn't get the bleeding. I wonder if you should get a blood test maybe. Specially if your cycles have been the same for two years. Do you chart on FF at all? That would help us alot to see the patterns of your cycle in such. Headaches and CM and tiredness is something I experienced the whole time I was preg with my girls. But I got a pos on test at 8DPO. Which makes sense, sense my HCG levels were double the whole time. Just for now try to relax and just rest and drink plenty of water. Which I know is easier said than done.

So my girls are 10 weeks today. So weird how much they've changed and see both their personalities. They are starting to sleep 3-4 hrs at a time at night. Which is nice but some of my friends had their baby sleeping all night at 7 weeks. When does that happen for me? I would LOVE a full nights rest. And sleeping during the day when they sleep just isn't possible for me cause I can't really sleep during the day unless its dark and not to mention I get all my other work done when they rest because I dont have time otherwise!

Hope everyone had a good day! Take care girls

 

[lilfrog01]

Thanks for your help ladies.guess ill just have to sit back and wait it out. If nothing changes then ill go see the doctor for bloods. Never had ovulation spotting before and i would assume if that was ov then the witch would be here by now. I think at 14 days late ill test again. Maybe its a shy bub? Thanks again for all the help. I wish you all the best with your bundles of joy!!

 

[sparkle05]

Hi ladies

How are we all ?

Lilfrog, my son didn't show up for a long time, by the time they took me seriously and did a scan I was 16 weeks lol nearly half way through. I would just keep testing every couple of days or so good luck, I hope this is the BFP you have been waiting for.


I will be uploading pictures as soon as my lap top has been recovered from kizi bedroom lol. Hopefully she will be up very soon she is at home with a throat infection

I think Isla is getting ready to move She keeps getting herself into funny positions and while I went out to do some washing up she managed to move herself to some Christmas things that were sat by the fire, I heard her laughing at herself and when I came in she had the letter e from my Noel sign, little madam, god knows how she got there :

SBB, I can't wait to see what your scan reveals. Imagine if your half way through already lol

 

[sparkle05]

here are some photos of Isla

 

[yazzy]

Isn't Isla a cutie, she looks very happy!

Hope everyone is well, i've been a bit under the weather, yesterday I suddenly started feeling really poorly, sick, needing the toilet (tmi) and headachey. Put myself to bed and was feeling really rough, all shivering but burning up. I took 2 paracetamol and within a couple hours I felt a bit better...managed 16 hours in bed! Feeling loads better this morning and no temperature luckily, just feeling washed out but i've only eaten 1 piece of toast since yesterday lunchtime. Hoping it was just a 24 hour sickness bug...was really worried about bubs but I think he/she is doing alright in there.

 

[Linny]

Aww yazzy i had something like that last weekend. I was sick a few times and had bad tummy, felt like a hangover actually but wasn't. I took myself to bed most of day and by night i was shivering, boiling up, aching. Next morning i was fine again so putting it down to 24 hour bug!

Tnt...Thats great your LO's are going 3-4 hours at nighttime. It must be so hard with two waking up I don't know many mothers who's LO slept through that young, Maisy slept through her first night in september (oh i remember!!) so she was nearly 9mths old! Since then she's got better, she will sleep through a few nights then she's awake a few. She's started waking between 6-7am now which is FAB!!!!!!

Spark.....aww she is a doll! Maisy is so funny, she tries to crawl, gets up on all fours rocking back and forth,, then her legs give way and she just shuffles around on her arms backwards

SBB...can't wait to see how far along you are

 

[SBB]

Gorgeous pics of Isla!!

Leeze have you mastered feeding lying down yet? I found that made a huge difference! I forgot to say that before!

Yazzy sounds like a little bug, I hope so anyway! I'm sure bubs is cosy. Did you get the flu jab? I never did...

Well, I can't have an early scan they won't do it so just booking me in for 4-5 weeks. Boohoo!!!

[SBB]

Oh and Sammuel still doesn't sleep through the night I don't think he ever will! I think he's just a really bad sleeper and always has been. Plus I think it's normal for them not to, but we've been brainwashed into thinking 'most' sleep through by 9 months.
