yeah it was terrible. felt like i had eaten cayanne pepper and coffee grounds. i was driving and trying to take my pill, and swallowed it with a bunch of air because some idiot in front of me slammed on his brakes.. bout 20 minutes later i was burping it up and i thought i was going to puke. don't know how people can eat the powder.

SBB-
Thanks sweetgirl, I'll be extremely excited as well, we're going to see a fertility specialist in June, I was checked out and everything is great with me (thank heavens) but now Danny is really concerned that it's him. He was always so against "getting help" to conceive, until my results all came back great, and it was a real eye opener I think. Poor guy, He told me "Sweetie, If I'm not able to have kids, I'll understand if you want to be with someone else who CAN give you children" ... Broke my heart. It took alot of reassuring that no matter we find out, it will be okay. Bless his heart though, talk about a man! Willing to do whatever it takes to make me happy, even if it means giving me up.

& Lol about burping up the Maca! I've done it too, not pleasant.

Ah bless him - that's so lovely of him. I'd never dream of leaving OH because of that, you'd just find a way wouldn't you? Anyway, chances are there's nothing wrong with him whatsoever, it's just taking a while for some reason... You'll get your BFP soon I'm sure of it

My OH was the same when we kind of thought something might be wrong, but since we had a chemical last month he's ok, I think it kind of confirmed his swimmers were swimming! My OH is called Danny too!

Your Danny sounds lovely

Hi girls

Im just after a bit of advice please - I currently take Clomid CD2-6, Pregnacare Conception and EPO (just until ovulation to help with CM) and use Zestica at O time. DO u take MACA all cycle and whats the usual dosage, I have tried to read the thread but cant get my head around it lol !

Thanks Heather x

 

[SBB]

Hi Heather!

I take almost the same as you but use conceive plus not zestica...

Yeh don't try and read through the thread, it's mainly just us lot talking a lot of rubbish!!

Anyway, yes maca can be taken all through the cycle. I take 4 capsules/day, which I think is 2000mg, but you can take 3000mg..

Hope that helps

hahahaha......eeks! that was an official "VERP"....the powder is pretty gross but I do the scoop on the tongue- pinch my nose, and a huge swallow of OJ. I think i've gotten used to the after-taste.

ugghhh how do all you ladies keep taking the Maca powder. I gagged today taking it, and it took every ounce of strength in my body to keep me from vomitting. And I have a very strong stomach!

[Manders]

Hello Ladies!!!!

I'm gonna join you if you don't mind!!!

Lil bi about me: My name is Amanda, Hubby is Craig! I am 31 and he's 42! We have 3 Beautiful Babies together, Mikey will 7 this month but sadly he passed away right before he was born! It's been rough but since loosing Mikey we've had 2 more Babies who have made the rough days a bit better! Tony is 5 and Cassie is 2 1/2! I love my babies more then anything in this world! I didn't have any problems conceiving my boys but it took a while for Cassie! I wasn't Oing so I took Clomid an was PG the first try!

We've decided to start trying for Baby #4 now!!!! I am super excited!!!! I don't want to do the Clomid route again so I decided to do the Maca Route! My Hubby is a Vitaminalohic so I'm gonna have him take it too though he's already pretty horny LMAO might not be good LOL

So I'm joining you ladies!!!

 

[SBB]

Have a lovely time kell! Yep my chart is on the way up
I've finished my pic so gonna put it up today then take a photo for you and post it tomorrow...

Hi manders and welcome to our maca party!
Sorry to hear about Mikey, that must have been awful for you...
Well let's hope Maca can help you conceive baby number 4! You have to let us know how it's working for you!

I'm currently on first round of clomid and OV'd a few days ago so I'm hoping beyond hope that it's worked first round for me too!

My OH was taking maca as well but he's stopped now.. I'm still taking it though

Kell are you still taking it??



X x x

 

[kelster823]

Hey Manders welcome... and yes very sorry to hear about Mikey..

these ladies in here are AWESOME and soooooooooooo supportive!!! truly special people

SBB- nope I stopped- I stopped everything except for my pre-natals.... i know it is FINE to take but after the MC I am so scared to take anything besides my pre-natals...

YAY YAY the pic is done.. cannot wait to see it.. I'll try to check in later while I am at my friends house

sooo ok I seriously need to get my ass moving

TTYL

 

[SBB]

We're off out soon too so I'll post the piccy tomorrow night probably...

Have a great time! TTYL!

[Delilahsown]

Good Morning!!!

Manders....welcome to you! Sorry to hear about Mikey- just know that you have your own personal angel always with you! We are all seated on the Maca train right now...hopefully it will help you too!

Kel- have a safe trip this weekend and take it easy!!

SBB- crossing my fingers, toes, arms, legs, and hair and saying some prayers for you that this is your month! Don't you just lovvvvvvvvvvvve the 2WW

im on cd 21 today, as of yesterday still - on the opk. My temps are still doing the funky dance as well...

I guess i'm just waiting until the 21st and if doesn't park her broom at my house, then i'll start on the progesterone with get it going and then on with the clomid. SBB- did you have your progesterone checked at day 21 or are you just temping?

They have also added folic acid to my regimine and upped my metformin- sorry gasl- TMI, BUT- the extra dose is making me become really close friends with the toilet. supposedly those effects are supposed to taper down as well....we shall see

 

[SBB]

Hey delia! Thank you Hun I hope everyone good vibes will pay off!

You know I thought of you the other day, someone posted a thread about up and down temps, and someone replied saying they might have some blood abnormality or something (nothing bad, sorry can't think of the right word!). I will try and find it tomorrow and post it for you. But it can be sorted out with acupuncture and then your temps stabilise...

I do hate the 2WW but I think it's better than waiting to ov... There's nothing I can do now it's either gonna happen or not! I'm getting CD21 bloods done but I'll get them on CD25 so 7dpo... FX it's all good.... I might ask them to check for pregnancy too.. Do you think it shows up at 7dpo on bloods?!

Don't you just love all the medicine side effects lol!

Right I'm of out soon, going to see a load of friends and would LOVE to have a nice drink with them but I'm gonna drive, just incase there's a little bean in there... Probably silly because blood supply doesn't even go to the bean til 26dpo but still, one of us has to drive so it might as well be me!

Have a lovely evening ladies x x x
