stepmommel - July 15

I just take the WalMart brand... I'm cheap, what can I say?! Though I'm thinking of changing when I run out. Not sure to what though. I think as long as it has Folic Acid it's good...

I am 6 or 7 dpo today, so I think it would be too early for implantation, since how I felt these yesterday & a little the day before already, so who knows. I am still having them a little today, so I don't know....My body is just stupid!! My toe is doing o.k.....however it is completely purple w/ a really dark purple line going through it (right where the stapler hit me). It hurts a little bit today, but not as bad as yesterday!!

i bought the ONE SOURCE prenatals at wal mart they have 50% more calcium than the stuart prenatals and since i dont drink milk i figured i needed all the help with calcium that i could get and also alot of them make people sick at their stomachs but these dont they are coated and i just started taking them but they havent made me sick and i take 2 a day but they are what the doc told my sister to take when she was pregnant so i thought i would try them

Hey ladies! Well, surprise... AF showed up today! Provera worked fast this time... only problem is, now the time for BDing is likely to be when I'm out of town without my hubby! Figures! We'll see, I have to recalculate to be sure, but right now, I'm off to bed. Hope you all had a great day! Take care....

 

Tammy276 - July 16

Stepmommel...AF stinks! I hate her presence! Well, even if you are going to be OOT, make sure you BD right before you leave, you know, sperm can live in you for a while, so there would still be a chance that you could get preggers.. I heard too alot of times if woman are going on vaca, they will ovulate early...so you never know! Good luck to you! I am just on pre-natal right now too.. Mine are called "pre-care, pre-natal"...They are chewable...The ones I had to swollow make me sick. So far these haven't made me feel ill at all! I have been trying my best to take them everyday this month. I think I have only missed one day. I was kinda lazy with taking them the last month or two. I am thinking that is why I actually O'd on time this month, I am healthier! I am really hoping this is my month. I don't know if I can handle another month, or two or three of TTC.......It is too stressful! I am still having my weird cramping, if it is still bothering me on Monday, I think I am going to call the doc. to make sure it's not a bladder infection or something like that. Well, just got home from being out so I better get to bed. I have to work in the a.m. and I have to leave extra early to go drop my ds off at my moms house! Free babysitter, I can't complain w/ that!

 

stepmommel - July 16

Well, I actually recalculated last night before going to bed. I won't know until I get back to work to read my notes about what days to focus on BDing, but I'm pretty sure they were CD12-19 or 12-16, I can't remember. So, there still might be hope if those days are right. I'll be leaving town cd14, which means we can BD 3 days before leaving, and HOPEFULLY the timing will be right, we'll see! Tammy, I don't recall when AF is due... is there a chance that those crampy feelings could be something BETTER than AF? Well, I'm off to go horseback riding with my stepdaughter before it gets to be the 110 degrees we're expecting. Talk to you all soon. BABY DUST EVERYONE!!!

 

slowpoke01 - July 16

stepmommel doc told me not to be riding horses while i was ttc so i havent been able to also tammy good luck in 2ww and stepmommel that sounds like it is good days to bd and you will have a really good chance of being pg well take care all

Hey guys, what's up? I'm still here. I had to take my kitty kat to the vet yesterday. He has lost a lot of weight in the last 2 months. We have been fighting a flea problem on him. Well, I was worried he might be anemic. And he is!! I was a vet tech for 10yrs, so I know a lot about animals. Normal count, when it comes to being anemic, is 25-40. At 12, they will ask for a blood transfusion. He was at 10!!! It threw us all off because he was acting so well. Sooooo, he is at the vet for the next couple of days to re-coop and so I can spray the house down with flea killer stuff. I've called them twice today to check on him....lol i bet he is sooooo damn mad at me! He goes where I go, so the look on his face was horrible yesterday when I had to leave him :o( But it's for the best, I know! As far as me, just working on the insurance deal and trying to make it. Tired of all the pregnant woman...lol Don't take it wrong, I'm just being a bitch...lol I hope you ladies are doing well. It's 106 today I heard, so I'm going to get out of this patrol car and try to cool off for a bit. Step - u asked about the infections. I would get bacterial infections really bad for a while. It was the soap I used in the shower and the detergent. Something about the perfumes. I never had had yeast infections either...sorry TMI. I had like 3-4 in a row. Well, now that I look back on it, I think the guy I was with at the time was causing the problems too. Dr. thought I was allergic to him...lol I think I was because he's the only one that caused me a problem...lol It wasn't like a bladder infection...had those cuz I drink Dr. Pepper allll the time....lol You just don't feel right "down there" and can tell something just ain't working right...lol Hope that answers your question! Thanks everyone for the encouragement!

Tammy276 - July 17

Hi ladies.....I am hoping cramping is something better than AF, since how she isn't due for over a week! It could just be implantation, I guess we will find out on Friday, I think I will test then! So, 5 more days of waiting for me!!! Jaqi, it must suck to be in that heat in uniform....I know it's bad for my hubby here, and I know we don't have the heat that you get down there! Welcome JennieJames........I don't know what to tell you.. You could try temping, or getting the OPK's to see when you are ovulating....I think the OPK's would be your best route. I know how you feel, my cycle can be different by like 10 or 15 days each month, so I finally bought the monitor. But I would say w/ your cycle only being different by like 3 days, that is still fairly normal. Try the OPK's once. Temping you could do too, but that really only tells you that you have ovulated aleady and doesn't tell you when you are going to O. Well ladies, I'm tired already so I think I am going to take a little snooze.

 

cmelissa - July 17

Hey Ladies - hope everyone had a great weekend!!! Well im cd 13 and still no +opk, not expecting is for another week since i;m a late ovulater. TAMMY - are you taking progesterone too?? B/c that can cause cramping.Also hope your toe is healing! STEP - I'm going out of town too and I hope I don't get the O when i'm gone since dh isn't coming with me! JAQI - poor lil cat of yours!! Also what does TMI mean?? WElcome Jenni - this is a great place to come!! I would try the ovulation tests to start!!! Alright well everyone have a great night!

 

Tammy276 - July 17

TMI (too much information). No, I am not taking progesterone, I am not on any medications yet....just my prenatals. That is why I think it is weird that I have been cramping like this because it is not normal for me.....Poor kitty! I love cats, but my hubby is allergic so he wouldn't let me get one. darnit!! Yep, my toe is healing....Its still a little purple, but its getting better...Well, 2 days of work left for me, and then I am off for a week! YIPPIE!! Our 3 year anniversary is on Wed. I don't think we plan on doing anything though....DH has been an ass lately, I don't know what his deal his. So I'm sure we'll just sit here like usual and watch movies...Maybe go out to dinner but that is it. He hasn't been in the mood for bd'ing lately either..I wonder if men get PMS cuz it sure seems like he's going through it right now!!haha

 

Otilia98 - July 17

Hello everyone! I hope that you all had a great weekend! Step - You already got AF? I wish that I could get started already. Do you have to take the rest of the pills if you get AF? Jaqi - I hope that your kitty feels better! Tammy - Good luck for no AF! I hope everybody has a good day!

 

stepmommel - July 17

Morning ladies! CD3 for me, which means day #1 of Clomid! FINALLY. Otilia, AF isn't a major one this time, so I almost wonder if I should still be taking the provera some more, but this is how it happened the first time I took it. First cycle was light, & the next one (not with Provera) was heavy. The doc said if it starts to stop taking it, so that's what I did. I still have 1/2 them left! Slowpoke, the horseback riding was more "sitting on a horse while it walked around an arena" so I don't think it could possibly have done any harm. It was more for my 10 yr old's sake. Her first time. Was fun though. makes DH and I want to get one! Jaqi, hows the kitty doing? So sorry. I LOOOOVVE cats and one of my two is losing wt right now too. Used to be overweight and now looks real skinny. Has me worried, but he acts OK. Hmmmm.... thanks for the info on the infections. Welcome Jenni. I highly recommend a book called Taking Charge of Your Fertility if you want an idea of how know what to do and when to do it when it comes to TTC. You'll learn A LOT! GOOD LUCK! Tammy, there must be something in the air that our DHs are breathing, cuz let me tell you, it's been REALLY grouchy around here lately too! I feel for ya! Melissa, where is your vacation? Did you say?

 

Tammy276 - July 17

YOu know, I just don't know what his problem is. He barely says two words to me, and if he does, it is something so stupid it ends up in an agrument......I am starting to wonder why we are even together anymore!! Anyway. I am off to work here pretty soon, and I hope it is a slow day! I don't feel like working. You know how it is right before you take a week off, you don't want to work the days befoe you have off!! Oh Well, today and tomorrow, then I'm done for a week. I think I can handle it! My sis and I are going to drive up to GreenBay on Thursday and go to Oneida and do some gambling! Hope I win! Well, I better go, I have to let the dog out one last time and then go finish getting ready for work. Have a good day!

 

cmelissa - July 18

TAMMY - Happy Early Anniversary since I will be out of town on Wed-Sunday!! WEll cd 14 today for me and still no +opk - think I still have about a week to go before I ovulate! STEP - congrats on starting clomid - have you had any side effects at all? I'm heading to Atlanta on Wednesday to visit my sis - can't wait. I'm taking a little 4 day vacation which I need, just worried I may O when I'm gone since my dh isn't coming with me. TAMMY gl gambling - hope you win some big money!!
