Good luck with the bloods Milty. Will you get results the same day? Brown spotting is ok and very common. Just read this today:

Morning Ladies

Alison- Thank you I wish I could have a darker hair colour I get bored with blonde..but I look sickly if its darker because I'm so pale, I've always envied the ladies that can do an array of colours

Peace- I didn't take the prednisolone yesterday and by last night I had a horrendous headache and just wasn't feeling well Got up this morning and still wasn't feeling well and DH suggested I take them and see what happens so within an hour my head wasn't pounding and I was feeling better I wonder if its playing with my blood pressure to start and stop them and maybe that's the reason he has me on them full time, because prednisolone does affect blood pressure? Glad your getting organized for next cycle but fx'd you don't need it

Milty-its hard to not worry but try not to its still early days The bloodwork will give you more information as well. Everything crossed for you

Jax- Manifest!Manifest!Manifest

Suki-Have fun and def jump your DH!!!

Jen- Good morning, hope you had a great day today

 

[Milty]

My gosh Peace thank you

 

[LLbean]

hope you hear from bloods right away

Milty

Crystal, were you on it for more than 2 weeks before you stopped? Headaches are common with coming off it, even with weaning. Most ladies say the headache goes with hydration and eating well. I guess you should ask him why exactly he wants you on it all the time and tell him your concerns about doing that (calcium etc). Personally, I would fear my body getting too dependent on it and then side effects take their toll (but that's just me and I'm overly cautious) Remember that when you're pregnant you'll be on it until at least 12 wks- that's already considered fairly long. Also you may want to consider how DHEA and pred taken together react, both are potent.

Hi Everyone!

Jenn, so very happy to hear all is going well! I hope this helps you relax and enjoy things more now. I know it won't make the worries go away but I do hope it helps.

Milty, still excited for you! Curious to see what you find out with bloodwork.

Liz, thank you again!

Crystal, I managed to locate a copy of that book and am anxious to get it. Thank you!

I managed to have to make a trip for work yesterday and never got to go to sleep last night or today so I'm probably going to pass out soon enough!

Hope everyone had a fantastic day!

 

[LLbean]

my pleasure again ;-)

Peace, I will call on monday he's not in today When he prescribed it he said that he felt my ovaries had been damaged from my immune system because my left ovary works but my right ovary is damaged so he wanted to try the steriod through my whole cycle to see if I get a better egg without all the killer cells or whatever is there

The DHEA and prednisolone is fine together both do different things but I think because prednisone also helps the body regulate its water which is why I normally would have gone on them in the past for my kidneys, I can't go on and off of them because it does affect everything else. My kidneys control my blood pressure, swelling etc I've always had to wean off even after a short time to let my body regulate itself. I'll call him Monday but I think that might be why I'm on them full time, maybe I can even drop the dosage in the first two weeks of my cycle

I'm on them until I'm 8 months pregnant, are you on them until 12 weeks?

What a pain in the a$$ this is going to be

 

[crystal443]

Cheat day today I just had 2 cookies and uggh I feel sick now I know better

 

[Milty]

Ok TMI

This morning I had a temp drop but it was still on the high end but I felt weird and had/have a lot of pressure down low. I peed in a cup anyway and got another second line that was not a squinter ...not really dark but not a bad 2nd line. Then while still holding the cup I could feel a really large clot fall into the toilet. I've been bleeding ever since.


I have my appt. in about an hour so maybe they can find out why

 

[LLbean]

Oh no Milty, that's scary! Did you take a picture of the test for us????

 

[Milty]

No but I can

 

[LLbean]

Please

....so that makes me feel that statistics are just that 'statistics', %'s based on a minority not majority of women, and as we know they can always be beaten. I still think I'm going to be the only woman here with no BFP and no kids though

Jax I really don't think this will be the case with you. I think it is going to take you much longer because your odds each month are lower. However given the time you will.


Also something I can tell you from experience most doctors do not know how to calculate statistics properly. I don't mean the basics obvously they are very smart. For most scientific studies they higher out Actuaries to help them. So keep that in mind.

Ok I swear I will quit being nerdy now

Milty, thanks and I love you being nerdy!

 

[Jax41]

Milty, I'm thinking lots about you x

Suki, you sound like me on the no sex front, bad innit? Hope DH obliges, although I'm sure he'd never refuse a vamped up you

Crystal, think I manifested for the wrong thing and got CD1 instead mind you with my current irratic cycles it wasn't a bad thing

 

[joanne40]

I had stern words with him the other weekend as he is going through a 'can't be arsed' faze....and not just the sex.... I told him no sex = no hope for me and that's just not fair....so get your finger out your arse or else

Good for you!
I can't complain about the sex department, but my husband sometimes thinks that a maid lives here, (me). It drives me insane! Man, I've got a job and 3 kids, you better do some laundry!
