Hi ladies - just popping in quickly! Me and OH have been lounging all day...My dad left today and it is pouring rain....as you can imagine this place is rather boring without sea and sun. Anyhow..hope everyone had a great weekend.

 

[Delilahsown]

[WelshRose]

Morning Girls:wave:

Kel....I'm eagerly waiting to stalk you....and hear about any results

 

[kelster823]

Hey hey Welshie!!!

to answer your first question. yep first time ever taking soy this cycle- I went for the 120mg each day- so I popped 3 pills each morning
and yes I stopped taken maca- but Jeff is still taken it

ehh temp starting to drop- feeling very doubtful now.. and I did take a IC this am and it was a BFN

sorry the frigin witch got you sweetie- gettin' frustrating isn't.. grrrrrrrrr I say give the soy a shot- won't hurt.... I didn't feel a thing

ok gotta get my coffee and it's off to work

talk to everyone later

 

[Dee7509]

Hi Ladies,

May I join you? I'm taking maca this month for the first time. I've read some of the thread but it's a long one so may take me some time to catch up!

I'm taking the Nature's Way Maca with 350mg of maca root extract and 100mg of Maca root. The dosage is 4 per day.

Does this sound okay?

Hope you'll have me .

 

[WelshRose]

Thanks for that Babe
I'm still keeping everything crossed that there's a rise tomorrow sweetie

It is getting a tad frustrating now...cant believe we've been on this damn rollercoaster for 2yrs now....Just hoping and praying that Gail is right

Why'd you stop taking the Maca hun?
I'm still in two minds about the soy....think I might just stick with daily Maca until christmas and then go and jump up and down at the docs....again
These past two cycles I've messed around with it, the one I didn't hey presto...living by the textbook I must not forget it rescued me from the deep dark depths of spotting/bleeding anovulatory hell....time and faith...I think is what's required

Have a good day Chickidee and catch you later.....Mwah xxx

 

[WelshRose]

Welcome Dee....Of course we'll have you hun....Next stop on the Maca Train is BFP Central....well hopefully.....eventually.....with a lotta laughs along the way
This thread is full of amazing girls....we're all here to support and answer any questions.

The dosage sounds about right hun...I think. I take capsules from creative nature and they are 500mg of maca root....I take the max dose that they recommend of 6 a day but that really is a personal thing....see how you get on and maybe adjust accordingly Definately give it a minimum of 3mths thou.

 

[Dee7509]

Thanks WelshRose, I've decided to start out with one or two per day and then increase to four if I feel okay. I'm CD2 today. Does it usually bring Ovulation forward?

 

[WelshRose]

I'm hoping that some of the other girls will be able to answer this better for you hun....

I took it for 3mths and it managed to end a 7mth phase of anovulation and continual spotting/bleeding...I ov cd18 that cycle which is in normal range for me with a LP of 12days again normal for me. The next cycle I took it everyday and it brought Ov forward to cd14and gave me a 14day LP...that has never happened before
The last two cycles I have messed around just experimenting one where i took it until Ov and then stopped....resulted in spotting from 9dpo and back down to a 12day LP, and this last cycle where I didn't take it in the week leading up to when I should of Ov and I then actually didn't Ov Needless to say for me I'm taking it everyday from now on!....and will then watch when I Ov.

I to started on a reduced dose of 4tablets and then increased to 5 before taking the 6 in the cycle where it sorted me out.

 

[kelster823]

Hey Dee welcome!!!! sounds ok to me

Welshie- I just wanted to stop to see what my body would do without all that stuff being put in it... I just needed a break since I have been taking everything since Dec of last year

it is a horrible rollercoater ride--- what is making me very doubtful is I started getting those ever so faint positive by now the last time....I know every PG is different

hey where is SBB been? she hasn't checked in since her bday- hopefully everything is ok and she is just busy with the house and all

 

[WelshRose]

Hmmm You're right Kel...hope it is just housey things....SBB Let us know all is ok sweets

I completely understand Kel about giving your body a break from all the pills....I stopped the b complex, multivits and iron+vit c tablets a while ago.

Now I've realised that for the time being my hormonal balance seems dependant on Maca....Why did I have to experiment huh...silly girl

You're right Kel every pg is different and rates increase differently each time as well....lets hope it's just a slow rise going on in there....if not I'd love the company on the September testing dates

 

[kelster823]

if not I'd love the company on the September testing dates

I'll be right there with ya sweetie....

Why did I have to experiment huh...silly girl

me too--- I just wish I could find the right stuff for me....

AF shows this week- I am calling my GYN and I want them - umm no they WILL do my bloods at different times of my cycle.....

enough is enough- especially with me constantly having cramps since 3DPO.... not all day but enough for me to notice

 

[WelshRose]

These doctors should just listen to us hun shouldn't they huh?!
We're almost specialists in the field...and certainly are of our own bodies

All my gyne does is tell me to stop charting because it increases stress I've yet to tell her putting myself as much in the dark as she seems to be is a whole lot more stressful I guess if you have uninformed patients then when better excuse for doing jack for her fat cat salary....oooh sorry for the rant there babe...it just came out

 

[kelster823]

I hear ya.. I think they get Pee Oded at US because we are the ones going into the office and telling them what we need.. LOL

when I had my consult after the last MC I asked my dr.. Dr Tweddel, yes that is his name LOL if I should come in for bloods with my next cycle-especially since my progestrone levels are so low- he said that is not necessary- but when I rang to call in my prescription for my pre-natals I spoke to the nurse in the office and told her about my situtatuion that I don't think I am going to O this cycle (that UGLY June one I had) she said that I should come in for my bloods....


WTF.... someone get something straight here cause I wanna a lil one and it seems no one is giving me an answer

OK I just stepped off my Soap Box

 

[Lucy1973]

Hi, I quite agree WelshRose, Doc's don't give us enough credit to know what is going on in our own bodies. They should be glad we know so much about it, it makes their jobs easier after all!

All I know is, if I lose another, they will NEVER get rid of me. xxxx

 

[WelshRose]

Definately agree with you there Lucy.....It could be in the headlines....women carry out stake out in Gyne's offices in England, Wales and US

I had to laugh...when I went in for my hysteroscopy my gyne came to see me before I went in and said they were querying retained products...WTH...my last mc was a couple of weeks short of a year ago at this point. She then went on about stopping charting....blah de blah. So when she finished and my head had stopped spinning quite so fast I said to her so if it is retained products then you'll start the tests then...she kinda went "Oh um"....I interrupted at this point and said as that would be my third mc! She couldn't really say anything then. It wasn't retained products thou thankfully.

 

[Lucy1973]

Crikey why do they have such an attitude? They are supposed to be there to help us, it doesn't really inspire confidence when even THEY don't know what's going on!!!!

I was reading on here about the hysteroscopy, sounds horrible, why do you have to have it.....I hope I never do...gulp.....I am a pierced and tattoed complete wimp.....doesn't make sense I know.....

I think a stake out is def on the cards!

 

[SBB]

Hey girls sorry for not checking in I was away for the weekend and I have slept all day today because I am so tired!! Just getting up to do a few bits and I will catch up later
