ttc after a d&c

[mommylov]

He is on a one a day for men. There are a few out there for men but this one had a great amount of folic acid in it. I stopped taking them the night I found out we lost the baby 1. because it was too hard to even look at the bottle without crying at the time and 2. because after my D&C, the vicodin and other stuff they had me on "back me up" (not to be too graphic) and prenatal vitamins have that effect too. So I was taking gasx and colace and something else. Once I stopped all that, I went back to taking the prenatals and have been fine ever since . I am taking Nature Made Prenatal DHA. I bought a bunch since I found them on sale while pregnant so I have like 200+ pills!

 

[Storked]

Mine are Nature Made too! I have some prescription prenatals too but they are tasty and I'm saving em for a rainy day lol!
I gots my hubby on zinc and just a regular multivitamin. And fish oil but that is for his cholesterol.

 

[lilesMom]

im back to my regular vits but am also still on super strength folic acid as well all the time, il switch back to the super folic acid and pernatel when ttc for real she said stay on the super folic acid to build up my reserves cos it does no harm my super folic acid is presription but its fine.
rang my doc today again, the lab reckon they found my blodd sample. its really weird though they sent the form back to my doc saying they had no sample last week and then it turns up???? bit weird. not sure what they r u p to

 

[mommylov]

Ohh... I need something for his cholesterol too! I try and get him to eat things with garlic and sneak it in my cooking but he doesnt like it. He eats it but them complains later, big baby lol.

I love nature made and my gf's took it. I love that its once a day too!

 

[mommylov]

Laura, folic acid is great! Thats why I have hubby on a vitamin with lots of it too! Have you ever heard of anyone saying that if you dont take the right amount of it (Either too little or too much) can be harmful? Im assuming we are good with the amounts that we are taking but I always wonder.

Bethany, this may be a dumb question but what does baby asprin do?

 

[lilesMom]

too much does no harm, too little can do harm, my bro and sis in law ha d ababy born with ananchepaly so i have to take it as aprecaution. the noraml amount to take is 400 a day , i take 5000 but it does me no harm cos its water soluble vitamin so u just pee out what u dont use
i love garlic i put it in everything
u can get garlic capsules as s upplement too if he doesnt like the taste

 

[Storked]

I love garlic too!

Amy, the aspirin thins my blood some women on here take it for uterine health but for me it is for my benefit so that I don't form abnormal clots. Well, it minimizes the risk a bit of me forming abnormal clots.
I wouldn't worry about DHs cholesterol except his doctor said it wasn't looking great. I could be smug for once for being healthier hehe

Oh yeah and my hubby has a vitamin with frolic acid too

 

[lilesMom]

maybe i should get OH vits too, i always take um myself but he rarely does

 

[mommylov]

Laura, Ill have to look into a garlic capsule for him! I think he would be more willing to do that than eat it. I dont know whats wrong with him... Garlic is sooooo yummy but I do keep my trusty listerine mouth wash handy after heheh. He had a had time remembering to take his vitamins in the past and I have been telling him that we are not getting any younger and he should be taking one for himself. I try to look at the mc as a blessing in disguise and one thing that has come out of it is that he got him to take vitamins. He is taking them now for the baby but he has a routine and Im sure it will be easy for him to stick with it after the baby comes

Good to know about the Asprin. I was thinking opps am I missing something? Should I be taking it too?? Since this was our 1st mc (and hopefully our last) my dr isnt worried about it being an issue with us. She just said the sperm and egg either didnt like eachother, my body attacked it because its trained to attack anything foreign, or there werent the rigth chroms. I hope since we are going to ttc about 1 1/2 months after mc, that my body will accept the baby and take care of it.

Wouldnt hurt ! I figured he is making up half of this baby and his "men" should be swimmin up stream with lots of vita-goodies since my eggs do!

Bethany, what does the zinc do? Sorry, I guess I could google all this instead of bugging you but now knowing you, I trust what you would have to say vs some random website!

 

[mommylov]

Laura, I just read that they found your sample... REALLY?!?!?!? OMG!!! What is up with these drs?!!?! So what did they say???

 

[lilesMom]

too true amy. we need strong swimmers and good eggs
ur body will be fine hon, the human body is amazing, my sis in law had natural mc and concieved before any af and had my little niece. a friend of mine had cervical cancer while pregnant and her baby is a few yrs old now, u be amazed what a baby can survive

 

[Storked]

Laura, we have to swallow pills- make him swallow some

Amy, my DH can't stand cooked broccoli. How weird is that? I love broccoli!
As for zinc, it is just overall good for his swimmers. I actually knew nothing about zinc and never had to make DH take it. We knew we wanted to get married and start a family and he told me that he was taking it for his swimmers. He worries about his own fertility with all the chemicals he is around every day. I don't blame him for our loss but he worries about it because he has coworkers who have had many losses. But the chick he works with every day has two kids and never lost any so who is to say right?

And you never bother me because I am addicted to chatting with you girls!

Yeah Laura what the heck?!

 

[lilesMom]

Laura, I just read that they found your sample... REALLY?!?!?!? OMG!!! What is up with these drs?!!?! So what did they say???

i have no idea what they r up to at all, it is a bit weird, the first time they took the sample for the test is still just completly missing, no expanation at all, no one can track it down.
the second one was sent off from my doc to lab in cork, lab in cork then sends it to dublin, i dont know why they dont send it direct if they cant do this test in cork. the lab in cork sent back the form that goes with the blood on sat and told my doc they got no blood. she couldnt ring um sat cos they only work mon to thurs. she rang them today and they said they have no form but have the blood, she said to them thats cos u sent me bak the form!!!!
she said they promised to send it to dublin without the form and test it, but she kept saying i hope they do it now, i dont know if dublin will accept it without the form , it sounded like thats what she meant , but they better since its their fault!!! so i gotta wait another week to see if they do what they said they will, so hopefully wil have an answer next mon and nothave to retest

 

[lilesMom]

i love brocholi but its gotta be with carrots and gravy, yum

 

[Storked]

I like broccoli any way I can get it

Oh Laura I am in agony for you for having to wait longer! Tell them I want to know something now so that we can get our BFPs together!

 

[mommylov]

Grrr!! Didnt you go back in and they drew more blood already? So by the time the get the rsults for that test, the new one will have results unless I missed something. Really your drs make me mad and I just want to say "Can you get this poor girl her results already!!?!?!?!?" So sorry, gosh that has got to be so frustrating!

 

[lilesMom]

forgot to say amy totally on the keeping touch after bfps, i couldnt lose u guys
i dont see why we cant keep this up r have a new one whichevver xxx

 

[mommylov]

I LOVE broccoli, dh does too! But I also love mushroom, black oilves, mustard.... these are just some of the many things dh doesnt like. I sure hope our kids get my pallet and not his picky one!
