Terri - I think preggos get a hall pass from My Strange Addiction. There would just be too many. Mine was sour candy, esp in the first tri. My favorite was this kind that had aspartame so I kept trying to find something else, but those were my fave. And yay for crosshairs.

Sis - Sorry for/congrats to the barfing?! Pregnancy is so weird! Hope you feel better/continue to have symptoms. I kinda tried to get an early scan, but then decided I'd wait. Mine is 3/11 at 8 weeks. I'm sure yours will be great.

Vjean - Your numbers look great! Yay!

Wish - I'm so glad your dr got his $%!& together and we all didn't have to show up and

Re: slow cookers... I've never had one. My family never used one. In my mind, it's all about meat, which I don't eat. But a friend of mine got me a type of slow cooker that is a super insulator, so you just boil the stuff together for maybe 10-15 minutes, then put it in this super insulating bag and that's it. Haven't tried it yet. She sent a vegan one pot meals cookbook with it. So I need to try it. Hmmm, getting motivated...

Confession/question. It's been sooooooome time since I've exercised/been to the gym. I had a good routine going and then fell off the wagon. I know we have some marathon runners here so I'm pretty embarrassed. Anyway, I want to start doing my 30-day shred video and then start going to the gym (which I pay for by the way ) . Do you think it's OK for me to exercise during the TWW, even though my body's probably going to be in shock?

 

[SweetPotatoPi]

Dang Busy Beatrices! It's my younger's Born Day so we've been celebrating . Caught up on the goings on here and even though I can't do persies this time, I'm thinking of you all and wishing everyone well .

kfs, I say go gym it up girly .

My moods have been swinging like the '70's today .

 

[Radkat]

KFS - I agree. I'd not let the TWW get in the way of your new routine. Good luck!

SPP - "Swinging like the '70s."

I know some people take B6/B complex to reduce nausea. I was taking to lengthen my LP. I didn't take mine today to see if my nausea is worse. Again, silly preggo trying to induce nausea.

 

[terripeachy]

Radkat-Thank goodness there are hall passes for preggos. HA!!HA!! I have a few vegan friends, so try your insulation bag and let us know how it turns out. My nachos were relish!! Yum yum. I am so excited a) to have made an awesome meal that was ready when I got home and b) I have leftovers to take to work for lunch tomorrow. Double bonus.

SPP-Hope you had a fun day celebrating your youngest childs' birthday. How fun!

kfs1-As soon as this snow stops, I plan on getting back into my routine, and it's been a while since I've run, but I'm eager to get back into it. I need to get my mind off of this stuff.

 

[Sis4Us]

Kfs1 cardio is always good for ya!!!

SPP Happy Bday to your son!!!!

I've been feeling like poo All day so I'm a bit moody myself!!

Terri glad Ur Nachos worked out I had soup my throat is killing me so I haven't had much to eat today!!

 

[Smiles013]

Terri....yeah, these kids will understand. They are all old enough to. Lol. They range in age from 13-8. And I love names that start with K which is why Daniel or Daniella as a first name won't work for me. Lol.

Sis....get ready for the morning/noon/night sickness to really kick in. I'm thankful and feel so blessed so I don't want to complain about the constant nausea and puking sometimes but c'mon, I just wish this kid would cut me some slack sometimes so I can eat a whole decent meal or eat things I use to enjoy. Lol. It's funny the restaurant I chose I've been to before and enjoyed the food. Today I looked at the menu on-line to get an idea of what I may want and this kid isn't having it ( well I day they aren't) because I was getting sick reading the menu. Lol. Tomorrow I may be fine but I am going to pick another place to be on the safe side. Lol

 

[Sis4Us]

Yep I'll be 6wks Tom and I'm sick as a Dog not my stomach my Ears, throat and Back WTH!!
All on my Left side if that's not strange Enough!!

Hope this cold takes a Hike real Quick!!
If not I may have to make another trip to the dr

I think I would rather PG symptoms at this point I say that now!!

Nitey Nite Ladies going to try and get some rest while I can!!

 

[Fezzle]

Sis- hope you're feeling better soon!

VJean- yay for the great beta numbers! And the green line is looking good too!

My GP appointment was pretty uneventful- she confirmed that my 'Day 21' test showed that I didn't ovulate- but that wasn't much of a surprise! It would have been more useful in my previous cycles where it looked like I might have, but didn't get a +OPK or much of a period. She seems optimistic in thinking that if I haven't been ovulating, it's good news as that would explain why we haven't conceived yet since ovulation can be fixed and so far from my blood tests and u/s there aren't any other issue. She thinks it's still from getting off the pill (which was 7 months ago). She said the fact that I'm having a real period now is good, and I can wait things out for a bit to see if my cycles get more regular, but she recommends more Day 21 tests. I'm glad I have at least one on my record now saying I'm not ovulating. I have to switch GP practices now anyway because I moved, so I'm going to try to do that today, make an appointment with someone new, and see what they recommend. But overall I feel optimistic that my tests so far have been fine, and that an answer to my issue might be Clomid, which it sounds like I should be able to get in a few months if it still looks like I'm not ovulating.

Other good news- OH got the new job! He'll probably start in mid-May.

 

[Hoping4Argyle]

I'm out this cycle. Tested yesterday morning, evening, and early this morning. Three Bon. Nurse told me to call this morning after testing for blood work but I know I'm not pregnant. I think the prometrium is the only thing holding off af. I want to cry.

 

[Sis4Us]

Fezzel that's good News Ovulation Induction is something Fairly Easy and Common so FX it gets u that BFP!!

Argyle..... I'm so sorry For the BFNs I know all to well how frustrating it is when u did everything right FX March is lucky for U!!!

Well I was up all nite My glands are so swollen I can barely move DH is taking me to the Dr for some meds!!!
Hope everyone Else has a Great Day!!!

 

[kfs1]

Sis/Smiles - hope you both start to feel better soon! I know we "wish" for nausea but I'm sure it must be so unbearable! Sis - are you able to take anything for your cold?

Terri - Yeah, same here about the gym. Need to get back to a normal routine so that I can stop obsessing so much! Plus, summer is creeping up. The thought of putting on a bathing suit gives me the chills.

Fezzle - Sounds like a great appointment. Hope you're able to find a great new GP. And congrats to your OH!

Hoping - So sorry that you're out this month.

SweetPotato - Happy Birthday to your youngest!

 

[terripeachy]

Great news about the OH and his job, Fezzle! Woohoo.

Yes, uneventful for sure..more waiting. Hopefully you can tell the new GP what is going on and they can prescribe clomid for you.

Argyle-Sorry to hear about your BFN's babe. Join us on the march thread once you figure out which day you'll be testing.

 

[Sis4Us]

Kfs1 I think the only thing that will work is Antibiotics which I hate to take but I gotta do Something!!

 

[Smiles013]

Sis....I hate taking ANY medicine while pregnant but I had to take antibiotics for a couple weeks during the pregnancy because of a UTI!!!! I just kept telling myself if the UIT goes untreated it can get worse and cause more harm. So same for you, we have to you well.

Argyle.....big hugs. So sorry about your BFN, but remain your BFP is on the way. We know the journey is tough sometimes and we're here for

 

[Smiles013]

Oh Sis....where did you order your Sonoline B from? I want to order one. Figured I would upgrade from the borrowed one I am using. Lol

 

[Hoping4Argyle]

Thanks for everyone's support.

Sis every pregnancy I a really bad cold with sinus and everything. They gave me the zpak which is suppose to be safe during pregnancy. Try to get some relief if you feel comfortable taking it.

Terri I'm going to hit my treadmill today like it's the only thing standing in my way for a bfp. I will say that this cycle I went back to old eating habits and forsook my treadmill who stares at me every morning in the corner of the bedroom. My only accomplishment lately is that I haven't used it as a closet. Lol

 

[Fezzle]

Sorry about the BFNs, Argyle.

 

[SweetPotatoPi]

Thanks so much ladies! We had a wonderful time yesterday .

Blech, so sorry you've got the sickies Sis . I hope you're able to find some relief soon! Remember your probiotics along with the antibiotics to ward off yeasties.

Congratulations to your OH on landing the job Fezzle! And even though your appt was relatively uneventful, it's good to see you feel you may finally be getting somewhere .

So sorry for the BFN Argyle . Go ahead and cry if you need to, we all have and do . And yes indeed, work that treadmill like there's no tomorrow; nothing like a good run to kick some dirt in TTC's stupid face .

 

[terripeachy]

Argyle-Good call on the treadmill. Run until it's broken! hee hee. That's what I always think when I have to take my prenatals. If this is what is stopping me, why do I hate taking them so much? And then I take them.

I was burning up yesterday, and you can see from my temp. jump it shows. My hands are feeling hot again today. My hands are ALWAYS COLD, so it's weird having them beet red and feeling tingly. I'm in the cleanroom at work all day today so I've been spraying them with alcohol to keep them cool.

My chicken nachos crock pot meal was EXCELLENT!!! I'm so glad I made it. I have it again for lunch today, and there are leftovers for tomorrow or the next day. I like having leftovers because that means I have food and don't have to go grocery shopping.

Sis-Hope you feel better!
