Berryboo, I have tried a vitamin b complex and it did nothing but delay my ovulation lol. I had to stop it because ovulation on cycle day 19 was nuts. The funny thing is though, the month after I stopped taking the vitamin B my luteal phase went up to 11 days from 9-10. I'm not sure if it was a fluke, or if the vitamins did help it. Since I'm being monitored and medicated, I think that maybe I will try it again.
I'm one of those people who don't want to breastfeed. My husband and I were both formula fed and we came out okay. I have a friend that breastfeeds her kids until they're like 5 and all of them have weird teeth. I was told that there's lots of sugar in breast milk which is probably why her kids teeth are not healthy. It's weird because out of the people I know who have breastfed their kids for a long time, their kids have teeth issues. I also have very sensitive nipples that my husband can't even touch without me screaming lol.
I also plan on being a stay at home mom. I looked into daycare and I was shocked at how expensive it is. Minimum $150 a week per child! I love being a stay at home wife. My husband works from home, so we get to be together 24/7 wich I love. I think I would miss him too much if I worked.
Tryinfor1, try not to worry. That test doesn't look that much lighter than yesterdays tests and it's still darker than the first couple of tests you took. It was probably just your pee being too diluted or that particular test just sucks.

Tryinfor1, I dunno what happened to the quality of FRER. About 10 years ago they were awesome. They detected pregnancy much earlier than every other test and gave nice dark lines.
With baby number 4, FRER was stark white when I got my first positive at 10 DPO on the Answer early test. (Yes, I'm obsessed enough that I wrote all of this down in my journal so I could go back and look).
Also the Clear blue digital test gave me the "Pregnant" on that day too.
I must have peed on 50 different tests in the early weeks of that last pregnancy. DH was ready to kill me because I spent so much $$ on them. I thought the Answer Early was the best, followed by the Wal-Mart pink dye plus sign. But they change the tests a lot so who knows.
This time around I'm armed with a box of OSOM tests. I'm thinking about ordering some cheap strips too so I don't waste all of the OSOMs.

Nope. I mean, well, I had some at 12dpo and then some this morning. A little yesterday for a like a second. They come and go but they are not severe at all.
I was also thinking, I have NO CLUE how my body responds to pregnancy tests (I might have already said this here, sorry if I have) because I have never been pregnant. Some girls tests dont get darker for a while. I have a friend on facebook who took a test when she was two days late and didnt even get a faint line. She took another one a week later and got a dark line. She said her doctor told her that since she is so underweight that her body IS producing the HCG but is also using it up to support the pregnancy so it wasnt showing up very much in her pee. I am 98% underweight and my BMI is like 12. I weigh 115 and I am 5'9 so I am just praying that my body is doing the same thing.
IDK! I just wish my doctor would call me back!
IDK what I plan to do. I will be a SAHM for a while, but I have to go to school and stuff so I will have to figure that out when the time comes. I am gonna work my ass off this semseter and summer semester also. Baby is due August 27 which is right after Fall semester 2012 begins. I plan on graduating Spring of 13. My mom used to have to pay my little sisters babysitting like 85 dollars a week, not bad. EXCEPT she would have to pay it when Liberty wasnt even going to her for like three weeks while she was out of town to "reserve her spot" How ridiculous! This chick like runs the company that my stepdad works for and she made my mom pay almost 300 dollar to reserve her spot. WHEN this lady is an awful caregiver! I went over there one time to get my sister and the lady had no idea where she was. TURNS OUT, my sister was locked in the garage play area by herself. NICE ONE LADY. My mom called and bitched and I made damn sure my sister never went back.

SLH: Aww. Sorry that the B vitamins didn't work out. From what I have read, they work for some ladies and not others but that seems to be how it is with all of the natural supplements. I tried a couple other things before the vitamins that didn't do a darn thing for me.
All of my kids have terrible teeth-- not decay, but crooked and over bites. They get that from me. My teeth genes are terrible. Two were formula fed and two were b/f.
You could always pump and bottle feed to give them some milk if you wish. I'm admittedly lazy so it's so much easier for me to just give the baby a breast than get up and make bottles at 3 am.

Tryinfor1, I have also read lots that some women don't get dark tests in the morning for whatever reason, but get darker ones in the afternoon/evening. There are all kinds of things that could be happening that don't relate to miscarriages.
Berryboo, I may end up changing my mind on the breastfeeding thing, but if I do it would only be for the first few months. I also take medication and even though I'm not taking it now because I'm TTC, as soon as my baby is born I will start taking them again. I for whatever reason am convinced that my breast milk will not be healthy and I will do more harm than good.

SLH: You might be surprised at what medications are compatible with breastfeeding. For example, morphine (!!) can be taken while breastfeeding but Sudafed should be avoided. In nearly all classes of medications there is a safe option. There is a wonderful man named Dr. Thomas Hale who does a lot of research on the safety of medications during pregnancy/breastfeeding. He has a book which lists all of the current info/studies. Another neat benefit of breastfeeding is that it helps shrink your tummy back down after pregnancy and burns a lot of extra calories while milk is being produced.
P.S. I have Dr. Hales book if anyone ever needs me to look up a medication. Most doctors don't even know about it for some reason.

Lol is that my thread? I posed on there asking about it. I read another one from I think August that had the same problem as me also and she is now like "almost halfway there" Is what her status says.
SO my DR called me back and said they didnt want to see me until January 17. I am a bit pissed about that. She said she would ask my dr if he wants me to do bloodwork now but my first baby appointment is January 17. GRR. SO I called my primary. Lol. I have been going to her since I was 15 years old. She loves the shit out of me and will do bloodwork if I ask her to. I have an appointment with her at 4:30 today. Lol. She was the first DR I told we were ttc and she jumped up and down and she was so excited!
Nope, it wasn't you. She's 31.
Unless you have a history of miscarriages, I don't think they will see you until later in the pregnancy. I'm so happy that my fertility clinic monitors early pregnancies and then when they say it's safe, they pass you on to someone else. That's good that you have an appointment with your doctor. They will be able to do the same tests as your obygn would.

I dont have a history of MC but I have never been pregnant so IDK! As far as I know, my grant grandmother, grandmother, and mom have never had a MC. Yeah, I am definitely getting blood drawn SOMEWHERE today! I will demand that shit!
I have decided to not do a digi until the 22. SURELY it would work by then.

I 2nd what SLH said about the digital test. I have seen threads all over about the FRER not getting darker.
Tryin, that's wonderful that your primary will do labwork for you. I never understood why some doctors are so adamant about waiting forever to do early pregnancy blood work, especially if a mom is anxious. That's just cruel!

It freaking is!!
I am gonna go stock up on some different tests later today. I am just so glad I have Kristin, my primary. She basically does whatever I tell her too. She will prescribe me like anything I want. Lol. It is crazy.
I am just scared to do the digi and see not pregnant. Especially a couple days later. I would cry... a lot.

I don't think it will say "not pregnant". Could you find one of the tests that tells you how far along you are? Because they can detect 1-2 weeks, I think they are more sensitive than the regular digital. I know mine is a 25 miu mui (whatever) lol. Oh how I can't wait to use it.

Do it! My doctor will do blood tests right away. Shes awesome.
My doctor is my husbands friends wife, so she's very good to me. She does whatever I need her to do. If it wasn't for her there's no way anyone would have referred me to a fertility clinic. Doctors here, for whatever reason, don't like to refer people to specialists. My old doctor wouldn't send me to anyone. If I had a bad medical issue I had to go to the ER to get help.
Could you order one online?
