%% OLDIES But GOODIES %%

[kfs1]

Sis - I CANNOT believe the hospital screwed up! I mean, do they even have a clue how hard this situation is for you already? Unbelievable. Anyway, I'm so sorry that you didn't get the miracle you were hoping for you. Thinking of you today - praying for healing and answers for you.

Moni - love the story about your husband. Too cute!!!

Terri - I'm so sorry that you're still sick. I would definitely call the doctor today, though. Just get checked out at least to make sure there's nothing more you can be doing to get better.

Wish - sorry that you felt some cramping but your chart still looks great.

Atty - your chart's still looking good, too. Sorry about those crappy tests.

erose - how are you feeling today?

Older - I'll keep my eye out for gluten free recipes for you. I have a friend who loves to cook and her whole family has gluten allergies. I'll see what I can dig up.

Hi felicity, garfie, vjean, radkat, katiepotatie, fezzle, and everyone else out there

So sorry about your baby, Sis. My heart and prayers are with you today.

 

[oldermom1975]

Thank-you all for your gluten-free support, ladies! I confess to being a newbie at this...low carb doesn't prepare you for the complete list of things that can or DO contain gluten:
Beer
Baked beans
Blue Cheese
Brown rice syrup
Cheap chocolate and candy
Instant coffee
Communion wafers
Chutneys
Drinking Chocolate
Farina Flavored popcorns
Gravy powder
Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein (HVP)
Imitation crab meat
Ketchup
Licorice
Luncheon Meat
Malt vinegar
Matzo flour
Meat and fish pastes
Mustards
Paté
Play Dough
Potato chips
Salad dressings
Seitan
Self basting turkeys
Shredded suet
Soy sauce
Soups (tinned)
Supplements
Some lipsticks
Some Medicines
Toothpaste
OXO cubes
Oatmeal*
I do think some of these things are on the list because they are often processed with gluten-containing items (which I am not AS worried about), but it does mean I will be looking at the back of every package of everything pretty much forever. Ah, well. Creative cooking, here we come!

 

[Sis4Us]

I have a friend she just had a baby in FEB she's Gluten free she Post stuff all the time on FB that looks pretty yummy!!

I see ketchup and Potato Chips

I don't do milk or milk based products and always look for gluten free Meats but Dang my LO would die w out chips and Ketchup!!

I know, right? Again, some of these things are processed in proximity to gluten containing items and don't contain gluten themselves. But to be absolutely sure with these items, everything I have read says to look for the words "gluten free". IDK about that....

 

[Smiles013]

Sis.....big hugs and my thoughts and prayers will be with you today. Sorry to hear you had such a crappy day at the hospital yesterday.

Terri....I think it's $25K covered for lifetime then 80% covered after that. Also hope you're feeling better.

Atty...stupid tests!

Oldermom...so happy you got some answers and gluten free isn't to bad. I saw a gluten free cupcake at the cupcake shop and I swear it looked delicious and they seemed to be going since the display for them was more than half gone. I am actually going to try one next time I go. I'll think of you as I'm eating it. Lol

 

[Sis4Us]

I'm just watching the clock and actually looking into my charts and trying to find info in TTC after D&C!!

Last time I MC naturally and w just TTC again right away but I keep reading different stuff wait one AF wait 6mos geez!!

 

[terripeachy]

Oldermom-Look at the bright side. Your strange addiction to Playdough will just have to stop. HA!!HA!! I can't believe licorice is listed. What?! Oh, another bright side is that now a lot of things have gluten free listed so it'll be much, much easier. My mom-in-law is gluten free, but she's just a tad She tries to make it seem so dramatic, but since I assume you're somewhat normal , it'll be ok and you'll figure out what is best/easiest for you to work with.

Sis-That's great that you have tons of family support. And a pot roast to boot. Can't go wrong there!

Smiles-So is that a lot or a little?

Moni-I had a dream I was at your house, and you mentioned chimi hurry, and your husband was getting upset that you told me about it. I didn't know what to do, so we just sat next to each other and watched tv. HA!!HA!! I felt really bad. Why did I have that dream? Who knows, but it's funny that I remembered it.

Every doc seems to have a slightly different opinion, too. It is frustrating.
After mine, they said I could start right away. But some docs have you waiting 1-3 cycles before trying again. Go by your doc's recommendation, I guess. Pulling for you, today.

Nothin' but normal here. *snort*
You are right. It is easier nowdays. I need to just suck it up and deal.

 

[Radkat]

Sis - That sucks about the hospital. Just what you need to be dealing with. Sorry you can't eat all day, but once you get to the hospital, they'll hook you up to an IV so you won't feel woozy. I was worried about that bc my blood sugar gets low and I get light headed. And mean. Today will be the worst. My cramps and bleeding weren't too bad afterwards. Hoping the same for you. I'm so glad you have good family support. Yeah, I was looking up TTC after a D&C too. Seems like drs are all over the map. We're waiting until the first AF unless my doctor says it's fine to TTC right away at my post op appt, whenever that is.

Terri - I'd go to the doctor. 5 days (or is it more now?) of a messed up tummy sounds like it could be some kind of crazy food poisoning. I had a friend that got salmonella and had to be admitted to the hospital twice. Crazy.

Oldermom - Gluten free is a pain, but there is so much stuff available now. It also depends on how intolerant you are. Do you actually have celiac or just intolerant? You might be OK with some of that stuff that's processed in the same facility as gluten or whatever that is. Ugh. What a process.

I have the positive celiac blood panel (I need the intestinal biopsy to verify the actual disease), so I am (for now) just gluten intolerant. The doctor told me that 70% of people who test positive for these things will go on to have a positive intestinal biopsy, as well. The treatment is the same in either case, so I may never get that test. Doesn't sound pleasant anyway.
I agree with you, I am likely ok with a good bunch of this stuff. We shall see!

Evening Ladies

Atty - Have you got some other tests? Your chart is looking really good

Terri - You may have touch of Holiday Tummy, change of water etc. How did it go at the doctors?

Sis - Thinking about you today

Oldermum - That is some list!!! wow

Nothing to report here, 6DPO today according to FF, but chart looks pants lol

 

[nessaw]

Hi everyone. Just wanted to send lots of love to sis. Thinking of you today.xxx

 

[terripeachy]

I called the doctor and they can't get me in until tomorrow morning. I think the Tums did the trick. I never take any kind of medicine at all for stuff, so finally I realized that I may just need something to reduce the bloated/air feeling. For the first time since I've been back, I was actually hungry today. I ate a big salad with chicken, and so far, no gurgling, no going to the bathroom. We'll see what tonight brings. It has been one week since I fell ill. I think I'm going to go to work and tell my boss that I have a doc appt. in the afternoon, which is the fertility specialist. She doesn't need to know which doc I'm seeing. I filled out my paperwork for tomorrow as well as listed some questions and picked up my medical records from my OB/GYN. I'm ready!

 

[oldermom1975]

Glad the Tums worked!
Very excited about your appointment tomorrow. Is your DH going with you?

 

[Sis4Us]

Well I never made it to the Hospital!!! I started bleeding w clots around 1Pm when we were suppose to be there at 2!!

Called my Dr and all he said was he couldn't guarantee they would get enough tissue to test!!
I figured w my luck lately they wouldn't and I know it was the antibiotics I just wish everyone else would admit it!!

So I'm home in bed cramping up a storm and hoping for it to Go by quickly like last time!!

 

[Wish4another1]

awe Sis Im sorry you didn't make it to the hospital to get those darn tests - but you know what I have realized - when our gut tells us something - its usually right... so in your heart you know it was the meds...then just settle on that...



hope the DH is taking care of you...

Terri - glad you found something that works on the tummy

felicity - dumb question here uhm what is "chart looks pants" mean? I can't figure it out...

to all your other lovelies... getting ready to get off work and head to bible study... its about good ole Sarah tonight - having a baby in her 90s... Lord had to help her there!!!
8 DPO... still waiting and hoping...

 

[oldermom1975]

Oh, honey- that is soooo terrible! I am so, so sorry! Did they at least give you a script for some pain meds?

 

[oldermom1975]

to all your other lovelies... getting ready to get off work and head to bible study... its about good ole Sarah tonight - having a baby in her 90s... Lord had to help her there!!!

Ah, good ole' Sarah. The hope and prayer of every infertile woman (though presumably not the 90 year old ones).

Good luck with your testing, Wish!
