BABY DUST GIRLS :-)
hi girls,
i hope you made the switch with me...we will have to do this every now and then on our big conversation threads to keep things from getting too long and slow to load... to the new girls, you can also just post random questions by clicking on post a question and you will get answers that way too! i am sure you've probably already scanned thru medhelp and created profiles etc so this is probably old news to you :-)

Vbn tryng to get PG for almost 3years now, but was in a long distance rltshp, but I have this nagging feeling that I am now. Always wanting to sleep, and have this CM(can even feel it when its coming out)! My mouth has this metal taste. AF next week, tired of buying HPT will wait till then.
Could I be pg?
Could I be pg?
I started a new thread called " Baby Dust 2".....This one is getting pretty long and hard to load like the last thread! Thanks :)
Your very welcome=)!!! Yes, I don't know too much about what ovulex or anything does for regulating you. I know it helps you ovulate and that is how multiples happen because you can release a lot of eggs. Or helps you ovulate for longer then what you normally would during ovulation.
If that does not work... actually no even if your planning to take natural fertility vitamins or pills or whatever it is, maybe its best if you go and see your doctor. Talk to them about your dilemma, they maybe able to give you tips on how to regulate yourself, I don't know they may even suggest taking birth control for a bit, but I don't think so because that doesn't keep you regulated after you stop. But it may be best to check with your doctor, I think they say if you've been trying for about a yr and still nothing to go see with your doctor.
So that may be an option for you as well. Also it usually takes 5-7 days for the shipment to arrive when you order it online. It all depends on what you select for your delivery. I usually do the cheapest one which comes within a week.

aww, thanks so much!!! You're so sweet and thoughtful. I"m just really hoping this helps regulate it. I'm SO SO excited and scraed at the smae time, I dont want to get let down again, and i dont know what my next step will be if this fails. I'm very into staying natural and not using meds, so im crossing my fingers!!!
thanks again so much <3
thanks again so much <3
Aww, you know I read being very irregular doesn't help you out very much. I know being irregular makes it very hard to tell when your going to ovulate most months. I know if your regularly on a 28th day cycle you can usually know when to try for each month, or when your about to ovulate. Most signs of ovulation and I know it will sound gross, but I paid attention this time around and did research is your cervical mucus, around the time of ovulation it will be clear/egg white look, stretchy and wet. Doesn't help too much, but your cervical mucus before your ovulation maybe white or something that is tacky like. This is what I read online. I don't know if it helped me out, but in some ways I think it did. Also, some women may feel a bit of cramping on one side during ovulation, or about the time of ovulation is where you get your mood swings is another thing I heard. I really personally don't think your size matters hun.
Yes twins are great!! I love my twin boys they are 17 months almost and have tons of energy and are soo darn cute. I wouldn't mind having twin girls this time around, but hey who knows right lol.

Krissy - Good, i hope mine gets to me soon. Im SO excited to start on them!!! I've been ttc for a little over a year now. Me and my DH have been having unprotected sex since August 2006 and still nothing. Im not sure i even ovulate, probably not, i have terribly irregular periods. I wonder what it could be? My only guess is maybe my weight? Im very thin, 5'7" and 110. I have an unbelievable metabolism that i HATE. So who knows....
Jamie- I wouldnt mind twins, TWICE the blessing =) Go ahead and read what i wrote above to Krissy, it pretty much summarizes my ordeal.
you girls are too kind for helping my with this <3

Tianna- Yes I do know what you mean on being eager, I was very eager with my first pregnancy, unfortunately I spent 8 months waiting and waiting every month to hopefully not get my period lol.
But I was so worried to try and conceive this time around because I didn't want to have to go through the whole months of trying and being disappointed, but luckily as soon as I came off birth control a week or 2 I got pregnant. So I would say that the Ovulex or anything else might help you out. Just watch out, don't be too surprised if you ever get twins, supposedly that can help with twins also. I never got my twin boys by taking fertility aid and everyone thought I did. But Good Luck to you.
Krissyy- I totally understand what you are saying about the spine thing. It really grossed me out too!!! The whole time I was in the hospital I was always dreading when it got closer to the epidural. LOL mind you when I got it, it was like 17 months ago, but I would be more worried on how its going to feel after giving birth, that is definitely interesting. Its really sore, and getting up and walking was harder. So if I think on what hurts the most its probably after giving birth. But they give you tylenol 3 and stuff. But I didn't like my day time nurses my night time nurses were great, they helped me change the babies diapers, plus my husband stayed with me for the 2 nights I had to be in there, and did not leave my side so that was helpful.
Also, I am putting up a picture of my tummy at 7 wks any one tell me if this looks too early to be showing please.

jamie-thanks for the explanation!! i'm glad to hear that the nurses are so helpful and comforting. i have a high pain tolerance, but i hate anything that has to do with the spine...it just freaks me out!
tfernandez-my ovulex arrived in less than a week! but they are made from a different company than fertilaid so who knows... yea, you need to be careful where you buy them from. i have heard stories of the discount places selling placebos so it's really best to buy directly from the source so you know what you are getting... how long have you been ttc?

thank you girls SO much for answering it feels absolutely great to have insight from you!!!
I looked on ebay and i dont think im going to go that route none of the sellers looked trustworthy. And i am desperate to try ovulex, I've heard wonderful things but i really cant seem to find any. I have although looked into Fertilaid and its looking promising : )
Im ordering it on monday, does anyone know how long these things take to get to you??? Im SO eager. I know you all can probably relate.
THANK YOU all so so much for your responses. SO very helpful! And it just feels good to know there are others in the same boat who care.
I'd love to hear about yourselves and return the favor <3
thanks girls -Tianna

AF arrived today
also the nurse who does the epidural for me came and talked to me before hand, and told me the whole thing about epidurals and what not so hopefully it goes okay when it comes your time.
The Epidural.... Hmm well to me I think it all depends on 1) Your pain Tolerance, and 2) how much pain your already in lol.
So if you go in to the hospital with major contractions, then your going to want that epidural and I don't think you'll feel it too much.
But like me I didn't have any contractions at the time of getting my epidural they just broke the water of baby a for me first, and that was supposed to help the dilation process, and they just gave it to me after doing that.
To me it didn't hurt really, they use a needle to freeze your back first, and that like any other needle is like a poke. Then I really don't know too much of what they did afterwards, but I think they put like a long IV cord down your spine and that you don't feel it... Well you do its just not painful, it just feels really weird. My husband watched them do the epidural and he though it looked like the coolest thing, and it also looked like it hurt, but it wasn't too bad at all. I guess when they poke your back in a spot blood kinda squirts out, lol I'm not helping probably, but I just thought that was cool because you don't feel anything, and its just a blur really. Plus the nurses are really nice, they stand infront of you and hold your hand and tell you its okay. So they are supportive lol.

jamie-did the epidural hurt? i am a little nervous about it, although i am open to it...
OVULEX-i used it and got pregnant within 6 weeks with it! i'm a big fan!!!
tfernandez-as i mentioned, i used ovulex. it is true that it's no longer available on selmedica's site. some recommend fertilaid, but i don't know much about it and haven't heard as many success stories... i heard that selmedica (the company that developed ovulex) were working on something new...not sure if that is true or not. i think you can still buy ovulex on ebay and other places if you google it. if you decide to use it, post me and i will let you know some secrets that i did with it. when i was trying to concieve, i drank a glass of red wine before doing the "baby dance" just to relax. i would drink green tea daily. something else you may consider is buying some of the main ingredients in ovulex and trying them separately (ovulex is all natural chinese herbs). i still have a bottle and a half left...hold on...i will give you some of the important ingredients...chaste-tree, raspberry leaf, black cohosh, red clover blossoms, licorice root. you can research the herbs indiviually for more info,but i think raspberry leaf and primrose (even though primrose is not listed in ovulex) are important ones. good luck to you girl!

What are the different signs on being able to tell if its a cyst?
I don't know sometimes I think female doctors are the nicer ones, but then my family doctor is a male and he is really good. But my family doctor is a male, and my OB/GYN is a female. But, sometimes I have met some males who seem very rude and just don't care. So I'm glad that you are getting in to see a doctor, you don't want to go on having a cyst if that is the problem. Mind you I don't know really what a cyst can do so.
I am glad your feeling a little better. They may send you for an ultra sound or some sort of scan to take a look. Or I though I had a cyst one time, because I was cramping lots and it hurt, so I went to the hospital and the guy did something like a pap test, but grabbed my ovaries and he told me if I had a cyst on one of the ovaries he grabbed I would feel pain, and I don't think that is how they normally do it. So don't be scared lol.

Oh yes!! I have heard of Ovulex, I don't know how well it works.... I wonder why they discontinued it, have you tried looking online for different herbal stuff?
thanks Jamie. I hope so too. I have had a strange few days, yesterday had crampng only on the left side and had a little bit of brownish discharge. The doctor said I would have a cyst but if so on the right b/c at the time that was where I felt cramping, I even told him it also happened on the left but he was a bit rude.... Today I have had a bit more brownish discharge and I figured after yesterday AF was coming. But nothing and I feel ok, a bit nausea and have a headache. Don't normally get nausea with AF. Something isnt right. The good news is I found a female doctor taking new patients so I get to see her on Wed. I'll be praying I dont have cysts.
Good luck this cyle TTC's!! BABY DUST

BABY DUST TO ALL XOXOXOOX
BABY DUST TO ALL XOXOXOOX
Oh aww i'm sorry to hear that. Did you know that has happened to me too!! Before umm the year of 2006 it was october I was late and I took a home test and it said positive very very faint, and then I went to the doctors and did a pee test and once again it was very faint, so then not too long after I had cramping and bleeding and of course I freaked out and went to the hospital and they did blood work and a pap test kind of thing, and it turned out I wasn't pregnant. So it was confusing and very frustrating because I don't know what happened.
Good luck to you!!!
Krissyy- Yeah positive birthing stories are great to hear, I know I watched a baby story lots when I was pregnant and always freaked out by the amount of pain or screaming the women did. Or just being in the baby section of the hospital was scary enough. But I hope when your time does come to give birth that it will be easy for all you ladies!!.. Also, the epidural is a life savor, kinda cool. If you ever thought the dentist was weird when they froze your gums was weird, the epidural is worse because your legs are frozen and your tummy and everything. Its kinda funny.
To all the TTC ladies I hope it all works out for you on your next cycle!!
Also, hkenny I hope you do not have a cyst...

I made a post called "I hope*..." earlier this week that said I had a faint positive.
I think you can still find it. :)
Yeah, I'm ok with it I guess. I may have just tested too early for the pregnancy to be fully established, and that's why I got a light reading or somthing...but it was definitely there. :P
I've been TTC since December, so not really that long in the grand scheme of things.
I hope that you other ladies concieve this cycle! That's what I'm going for! :)

Well that is good you are having a girl!! No I haven't done that prediction thing yet. I haven't heard of it.
I know labor is different for everyone, I obsessed about it with my twins from the time I found out I was pregnant and then especially once I found out I was having twins, I was affraid I was going to have to have c section and that worried me, then I also thought I was going to feel a lot of pain if I did it naturally. But luckily I was in labor for 5 hrs and only fle 30 minutes of contractions at the very end, and they gave me some more epidural stuff and then I was frozen, then my doctor came in and checked and I was ready to go, but I guess I was too frozen to push for them so they had to wait an hour for me to unfreeze, then when it came time to push I was till frozen and I just said I could push, and I didn't feel nothing and it was only 10-15 minutes for both the boys, and luckily I didn't break my tailbone which I heard can happen, or rip where I needed stiches which was nice. So I hope you all have a easy time, I don't know if this one will be as easy as last time, so i'm already kinda fretting about it.

jamie-after much debate and disagreements, we are naming out little girl skylar paige and calling her sky. before i found out the gender, i took a lot of the online "old wive's tale" tests. they all said that i was having a girl so they were right. although i was still convinced i was having a boy... the chinese gender prediction chart was wrong with me. it said i was to have a boy. have you used the chart yet?
lynzieloo-i'm sorry to hear about af! i was wrong about all of you girls! you were so late i was sure that you were pregnant! are you using ovulation prediction kits?
keeks-yea, i unbutton and unzip. at first it felt really weird but the band holds them up and keeps it all together! all my jeans are very low rise so the button and zipper are tiny and close together. i will check out tyme maternity. the old navy in my town doesn't sell maternity clothes so i drive 35 minutes to baltimore cuz that store does! you can also order online (even though i prefer to try things on myself). i did order 2 takinis from them because i spend a lot of time at the pool and beach during the summer. and i am going to florida in about 2 weeks and can't wait! what has your baby's heartbeat range been? mine has been 150-155. i agree, i was just thinking the other day how i was counting up to 20 and now i am counting down! it's scary and exciting all at once! wait till we start obsessing about labor! i refuse to obsess about it for maybe 10 more weeks...
katebud-i must have missed your post about getting a bfp! i don't know how i would have missed that! did it happen so quick that you didn't get to post it? i am so sorry! how long have you been trying?
