baby dust 4 is open for buisness! :)
wow no one comes on here anymore LOL
are you stopping the herbals between ovulation and your expected period? i stopped during that time period when taking ovulex because i read that some ingredients could cause m/c...named **** quai.
i was grouchy the other day too!! my hormones have been pretty fine, but a few days lately i just cry for no reason! i feel very out of control!

Hey ladies,
My cycle is usually like clockwork, 28 or 29 days (lucky me!).
I had considered fertilaid or something like it, so I started drinking green tea, taking red raspberry leaf, and vitex during my phase leading up to ovulation for a couple months. It worked in April, but the I had my early m/c. I kind of lost a little steam after that, I think. It worked, but not very well apparently.
I should prolley continue on my herb stuffs after this month just to see if it helps again. If not after a couple months of trying again, I think I'll get the fertilaid.
Today I'm grouccchchchchchcy! grrrrrr.... :) I just feel mean, anyone hear me out there? ;)
Also, I'm freakishly hot feeling also. I'm drinking an icy thing now though, so I feel a lot better already.
Love and baby dust!*

lol krissyy i know i am not because if it was just bleeding without that crampy feeling or clots...then i might think--maybe. but no i have it all
and 39-40 days is sooo unusual for me BUT like i said i did just get that IUD out a month ago...i had af when i got it out so this is actually first cycle off of it..so it kinda makes sense that it would take a little longer to get it back going. hopefully next month if af shows it will be shorter. :)
hugs and luv and i hope those beans are growing strong for both of you (krissyy and jamie)
hugs and SSBD to the ttc'er and hugs for the expectant mums

long cycles-mine was 40 days too!!! it lasted forever!!! the time between my period and ovulation felt like an eternity!
joyce-hehe, my first cycle trying i swore that i was one of the rare cases that got my period while pregnant. i bought so many pregnancy tests that first cycle!!

yeah i know 40 days is a long time...but hopefully my 30 will be back soon..lol
hmm it blocked out a word and I didn't even swear
40 days? wow that seems like alot, mine are only 28mind you I was on BC so that regulated it, but 40 seems like alot..

thank you krissyy i will keep that in mind and make sure the honey covered baby dust in my purse doesnt get smooshed...lol
i was hoping that i was the one of the very few and very rare to be pg WITH af...lol
oh well, i guess i saved some money on a blood test. cause with the cramps and clots there is no denying it is af...but at least that means that maybe i am gonna have a shorter cycle this time, so that i get BACK to 30 days versus this almost 40 days BS...anyhow luv and luck to all

katebud-oh what a great father's day gift that would be! have you ever considered trying fertilaid? i used ovulex which is similar but is off the market now. it worked for me in 6 weeks. t.fernandez used fertilaid and it worked for her in 4 weeks. how long is your cycle?
joyce-so sorry to hear about af's arrival!! but at least you know so now you can start next cycle with lots of honey covered baby dust in your purse!

i started af full flow this morning...lg clots, cramping, ect... and since it started yesterday i am currently CD2. but i posted 2 new journal entries so check them out and i will continue to send TONS of SSBD covered in HONEY to all in the ttc.
hugs and luv and happy pregnancies for those expecting
SSBD for those ttc

hi there :)
I am on cd20 today. I have been very sleepy the past few days, but I don't think its significant to ttc. I've also had this strange sore spot under my arm show up, and it was sore for a couple of days, went away, and now it's back, but only sore if I touch it really. :( sorry, that's kind of gross!
I am having very milky discharge, but I'm not getting too excited about it, b/c it seems that I've had this before on a bfn month at least a couple other times.
krissyy, thank you for asking about me. :) It makes me feel better.
Hoping a little to have a bfp for Father's day, but I think that is this Sunday, so not sure what is going to transpire.
Peace! and ssbd! :)

spotting in early pregnancy-i had it at about 4-5 weeks and it was as jamie described...really scraping toilet paper in order to see anything and it only lasted for a day...but, it really freaked me out! it was brownish and my doctor told me as long as it wasn't accompanied by any painful cramps, it was fine...was probably leftover from implantation.
joyce-best of luck to you! yes, please keep us posted!!
katebud-any updates with you?? where are you now in your cycle?

Hi Everyone!
Sending lots of love and extra tickles to those babies in utero! :)
To all TTC (including myself): it will happen when it is supposed to.
Keeks:
Oh my goodness! I am so glad you didn't have to come to the US and that a bed opened up for you in CA. I am so glad that everything is good right now, and you are just on light bedrest. Something similar happened to my SIL recently (she is now at 31 weeks), where she thought she was having contractions. Turns out it was contractions, but the kind that come when you are sick! She had intestinal flu...how sad is that? At least her little Leila stayed in and wasn't trying to escape.
Please continue to keep us posted! :)

i have appt with my doc tomorrow at 10:45am so they are suppose to do bloodwork too...idk what is going on...
krissyy i am pretty sure if i am not positive that i O on May 22 or just a day or two later (the 22nd was the ewcm) idk again will talk to doc tomorrow morning
i am taking a break from the site as i think i may have thought myself into a frustrating situation by getting my hopes way up. as soon as i know anything i will let you know, but i also feel kinda crampy so it probably is AF.
hugs and luv and wish nothing but the best to you all
i will be checking in from time to time so keep me in your thoughts and i will do the same

Oh sorry when your spotting during pregnancy I read the colors it is, is either really light pink, or brownish color like old blood.
So and if its red I really have no idea, my spotting thankfully was not red I guess that can mean other things. But since your not sure if its pregnancy or not, I think you may want to take another pregnancy test, or get blood work done to ease your mind.

Oh really? hmm.. Well right before they were born on the monitor it was 170-173 so its soo hard to say, and I am getting anxious on what it is going to be!!
I keep thinking its a boy, but I could be wrong.
Joyce- I spotted 6-7 weeks pregnant, and it was very light though, I mean in order to tell you had to shove the toilet paper a little in there to see that there was blood, wel not the first time, but it was still very very light pink. I have read up on spotting during pregnancy and some women will spot during implantation and usually that time occurs when your expecting your period and it is very light and some women don't even notice they are pregnant at that time because the of the spotting, but I don't know!! Trying to conceive is honestly the most frustrating thing, I thought dealing with my husband at times was frustrating, until I tried to get pregnant my first time around and that took 8 months of trying and that was the longest 8 months of my life.

jamie-happy second trimester! my little girl started close to 160, but since then she has been between 150-155.
joyce-are you completely positive that you ovulated 19 days ago? if so, i would talk to your doctor and get the blood test. but if you aren't positive and could be a week off on when your period is due, than perhaps it is here?? another possibility is that the intercourse is causing the spotting. i know that is common in pregnancy as your cervix is quite tender. i don't know what to tell you, but i wish you lots of luck!

HA I have never wondered if my babies were going to be ugly!! But I don't blame you I guess I have seen some pretty not very cute babies I guess you could say, and I feel bad when I do. But really no matter what other people think of your baby you will always find it cute!!
Keeks- that is good that it is only light bed rest then. My boys were very active and I felt that pinching feeling but it never set off any kind of contractions that I know of any way.
About the bath thing I was told I wasn't allowed to take baths by my doctor when I was pregnant with my boys, the told me to stay a way from having baths, and I didn't think of to ask why though. So I just don't take them.
Well, I still won't find out what I am having until the end of July, seems like so far a way. But I am 13 weeks today and have my 2nd prenatal so I hope I am able to hear heart beat today. At my ultra sound they said it was 160, so we will see. At the beginning my boys was around the 140-145ish, but this one was 160, but who knows.

keeks-what you described i go thru quite often. my baby is very active and flips and turns often sometimes triggering the menstruallike (very mild) cramps and low back pain. and my tummy knots up. that is when i discovered that i am experiencing braxton hicks contractions. it said that sometimes they can come on by fetal movement. did the doctors mention any of that to you? it's funny you almost went to washington, dc. that is only 40 minutes from my house! i can't believe it's a boy!! i was convinced you were having a girl! either way, your little boy will be so special. i'm glad that everything is okay with you and baby. and i don't blame you for finding out the gender...i couldn't go 9 months without knowing!! i wish i could, but i just couldn't. mandy is right, he still can do the announcement :-)
mandy-i was getting tired of it too....no one can believe how far along i am. i asked my doctor bout it and he said that everyone carries differently and my baby is measuring fine and that is all that matters. so, that is what i tell everyone that makes a comment.
hot bathes-i haven't taken any because i have been paranoid...it took me 12 weeks to feel comfortable with a hot shower!! i had been taking luke warm showers almost my entire first trimester! i am a freak!! as long as your body temp doesn't go over 101 degrees you are fine. i go to the pool all of the time and it's been in the mid 90s here, i just keep my body cool buy drinking ice water and getting in and out of the pool/pouring water on myself. i don't get in the jacuzzi however. they say in late pregnancy, a bath is soothing. maybe if you just take a warm bath, not too hot and don't soak for too long.
actually, ihaven't thought too much about the ugly baby part. i have only ever seen one ugly baby and boy was he ugly!!! like scary ugly!!! i do far autism and all of the other unknowns... as far as the immunizations, i have read that they have done research and are discovering something that was in the immunizations that they believe has caused autism. they said that they no longer use it as of a couple of years ago and the autisum rate has dropped significantly. i hope that is true!! it is an article my friend sent me a few months ago when i was freaking out about vaccinations.

started spotting brown last night...it stopped, and then started back pink...dh and i bd and this morning still very light but it is red...does this mean af? or could i still be preg? i have a appt to get beta test to see if pg or not but was wondering if i should even waste the money?
numerous BFN on hpt. up til i stopped testing 2 days ago...i am now 19dpo and CD 40

Omg Keeks Congrats! First off that ***** what you went through...but yay you're having a boy! :) He can still do the announcement..just cause yall know what it is, don't mean you have to tell everyone else, right? haha.
Soooo sorry I haven't been on in a while. Been feeling not so hot lately. :( Buuuuut on the upside (there is always an up-side) my liver enzymes are stable- so as of right now, me and baby are good. There is no immediate threat or need to worry about delivering him this week. I have another appointment on the 12th. So we'll see what he says then...
I'm about 26 weeks. Due date between the 10th and 16th or so.. it varies every time. Lol. My LMP was Dec 5, 2007. I don't know about you girls but I am getting darn tired of people not believing I'm as pregnant as I am. I'm tired of hearing "You're so TIIIIIIIINY" It's like they don't believe that I'm eating or something. I've gained only 7lbs so far and they act like I'm committing a crime! I eat all the time!!
Omg, So I probably should ask, what is the real deal with HOT baths? I mean- because I didnt take any the first 15 weeks or so- but now I do- and apparently it's bad? I googled it and everything says not to have hot baths but they dont say why - just that "it's bad for the baby" . One site says that it can cause Ancepcehaply or something like that... but early in pregnancy... I looked that up and I bawled for an hour last night reading stories of babies that had that.
Not to sound vain, or whatever... but is anyone else worried that their kid is gonna come out fugly? Lol. I'm not worried about him having legs and fingers- that we've seen. I'm worried about him being blind or having autism or some other brain problem or even just being an ugly baby! Is that mean? I know people say there are no ugly babies, but I beg to differ. I've seen them. And I'm TERRIFIED I'm going to have one! :(
Am I being silly?
OH, and do y'all know what the deal is with the immunizations that they get around 2 yrs that is supposedly causing Autism and even paralyzation?! EEEEk.
