HEY LADIES..TO THE NEW LADIES WELCOME...OUR ROUTINE..IS TO POST SIGNS OF AF LEADING UP TO BFP..THAT INCLUDES ANYTHING U ARE FEELING..EVEN IF ITS LITTLE OR JUST DOESNT MAKE SINCE..IN THIS ROOM EVERYTHING COUNTS..WE HELP EACH OTHER BECAUSE ATLEAST ONE OF US HAS BEEN IN UR SHOES
Still no af. neg hpt. still having pg symptoms. what is going on? My last pg i had neg hpt test at 8 wks. got pos hpt at 14 wks. Went to doc thinking only 6 wks pg at most and there was my little boy on the scan. I thought this may have been just one of those things, but now wondering if my hormones dont respond as well to hpt. Anyone else heard of this.
I HATE PREGNANCY/PMS SYMPTOMS!!! This month has been different, but I have a gut feeling I'm wondering too much about it and I'll end up seeing AF on time again. I'm not trying to be negative, but I don't want to fool myself. I'm going to test tomorrow morning at 10 DPO, just to get my POAS fix, but I'm not expecting anything to come of it. Maybe I am being a little negative, but I don't feel like this is my month, but I am curious as to what's going on with me this month....
I hope you ladies are doing well, and that we see some more BFPs soon. I know we're due for a few more.

A woman's menstrual cycle is part of the normal programming of a healthy body that is hard wired into her genetic makeup. If a woman is in balance, her cycles should start so that by fourteen years of age she can become pregnant. Beginning cycles might not be as regular or last as long. The Ren and Chong Meridians must open and then the flow of Qi and nutrients will start. The Tian Gui is the menstrual flow that stems from the nutrient passing up the Ren meridian to the Breasts where milk production occurs. The Milk moves down the Chong Meridian to the Uterus passing by the Small Intestine where the heat changes the white milk to red menstrual blood. Once the meridians are mature and open this cycle takes every month. Then every lunar month, a menses (period bleeding) should occur. The menses should be preceded by a fullness in the breasts that disappears as the period blood appears. There should not be cramping or bloating or PMS. The menses should last 4-7 days. The bleeding should not be so heavy that hemorrhage is feared. These cycles should continue on a regular basis every 28 days until interrupted by pregnancy or nursing until around the age of 44 to 49 when the cycles may start to change because of impending cessation of cycles called menopause. Menopause is defined by the absence of cycles for 1 year.
But sometimes the menstrual cycle does not come on a regular basis or bleeding is excessive or scant. Alterations in the menstrual cycle indicate that the woman's body is out of balance. Interruptions or blockage of the normal flow of Tian Gui can result in excessive milk remaining in the Breast, or entering the Blood, Heart or Lungs. Traditional Chinese Medical Theory believes that improper flow of Tian Gui can result in Breast masses, Lupus, Leukemia or Lung Cancer. So it is vital to ensure proper flow of the Tian Gui and normal menstrual cycles in women. Discussion of the all the possible irregularities of the menstrual cycle is beyond the scope of our treatment here. If you have a menstrual cycle problem not mentioned here and would like to know more, please contact us. However we can discuss some of the more common menstrual cycle problems.
IRREGULAR CYCLES. These are defined as menses that does not appear every 28 days. (27-30 day cycles are not abnormal). The Traditional Chinese Medical Theory believes that cycles that start normal but become shorter (menses starts a week early) indicates either excessive Heat in the Blood or Qi Deficiency. Cycles that become longer apart (week late or becoming as much as 45 days apart) indicate Cold in the Blood, Blood deficiency or Qi Stagnation. Cycles that have no consistency, late one month early the next may be due to Qi Stagnation in the Liver or Kidney Deficiency.
Heat in the Blood. Generally the woman with shorter cycles due to Heat would demonstrate other heat signs such as dark scanty urine, dark red blood which is thick and profuse. We would also expect the woman to experience other heat signs such as fullness in the chest area and thirst. Heat in the Blood can arise from many different causes such as Internal Heat conditions from over indulgence in spicy foods or overdose of warming drugs or herbs.
Qi Deficiency. A woman suffering from shorter cycles because of a Qi Deficiency would have a profuse, thin and light red menses. She would also be generally tired with some shortness of breath and maybe palpitations of the heart. Qi can be depleted from over exertion and improper diet, which affects the Spleen. Spleen normally is able to control blood, but if Spleen Qi is deficient, the Spleen is no longer able to control blood and bleeding occurs.
Cold in the Blood. A woman suffering from cycles that become longer and longer apart with scanty dark colored blood may be suffering from cold in the blood. Generally she will also experience abdominal pain which feels better with a heating pad. She would also probably suffer from cold feet and hands. This usually comes from internal invasion of cold, or overeating cold, raw foods or exposure to cold during a period.
Blood Deficiency. A woman suffering from cycles that become longer and longer apart with scanty light red blood may be suffering from Blood Deficiency. She might also have dizziness, blurred vision and an empty feeling in her abdomen. Blood deficiency can occur from chronic disease, multiple pregnancies in a short time frame. A woman that follows an irregular diet with improper exercise, mainly overexertion, can damage the Spleen and Stomach and cause a decrease in Blood.
Qi Stagnation. Delayed cycles or irregular cycles with scanty dark red blood may be caused by Qi Stagnation. Generally the woman will also have mood alterations, usually depression along with distension or pain under the ribs, and pressure in the chest relieved by belching. Qi Stagnation occurs in the Liver and is usually caused by emotional upheaval that produces anger or depression. If Qi stagnates, blood will not flow, delaying the cycle.
Kidney Deficiency. Irregular cycles with scanty light red blood can indicate a deficiency of the Kidney. The woman might also experience dizziness and ringing in the ears. Her lower back might be sore and her knees weak. Usually she will have to get up frequently at night to urinate. Starting to have sexual relations at an early age is one way to harm the Kidney. Use of alcohol during sexual activity is another way to damage the Kidneys. We are born with a certain amount of innate essence. We can actually use it up too fast and begin to age sooner than expected. If the Kidney essence is used up or the Kidney becomes weakened, Tian Gui will not be conducted through the Ren and Chong meridians and normal menstrual cycles will not occur

REASONS TO USE BABY ASPIRIN IF YOU ARE TRYING TO CONCEIVE
If you are trying to conceive (ttc) then you may find that taking baby aspirin can help your fertility. Of course, aspirin has other benefits such as reducing fever, relieving pain, and its benefits to the cardiovascular system. Many people who suffer from heart problems take aspirin every day. Even if you don’t have any of these problems, taking a daily aspirin could help your chances of getting pregnant. It is important to talk with your health care provider before you begin to take aspirin or any other drug.
If you have had a miscarriage in the past then you may benefit significantly from taking baby aspirin. Nevertheless, even if you have not had a miscarriage taking aspirin could prevent a miscarriage from occurring because of a uterus that does not have a sufficient lining. Some women have antiphospholipid antibodies, which are related to problems with coagulation. If clotting is causing problems with fetal blood flow then a baby aspirin may be enough to reduce the clotting.
Another benefit of baby aspirin for your fertility is that it is believed to increase blood flow to the uterus and ovaries. This has not been researched sufficiently as of yet, however a baby aspirin could potentially help and certainly will not hurt. Most doctors will not give you the okay to continue taking aspirin while pregnant so you should talk with your doctor once you become pregnant to see if it is time to stop taking aspirin.
Choosing aspirin is simple because it is all the same. Just make sure you don’t choose a bottle that has more than 81 mg per tablet. The brand is not important, but the dosage is. Baby aspirin may come in chewable form or else you can take adult aspirin in a low dose form. Remember, although the pills are small you only need one per day. Don’t take too many or you could cause problems. Please make sure you talk with your doctor before beginning an aspirin regimen.

Heather and Faith- LMAO. Believe me, you didnt miss anything.
Well, i conceived but the egg didnt stick. I dont know if that counts as a miscarriage or not. But anyway, i started bleeding a day early but it was really weird. It started off as ALOTTTTTTTTTTTTTT of discharge then it started having brown sludge stuff in it then i guess it was a miscarriage because i started seeing little grayish sticky pieces in the brown stuff. the second day, i woke up hoping the weirdness stopped but i got more EWCM. When i say more (tmi) I mean when i wiped EWCM was hanging from the tissue and it was like about 12 INCHES of it. It literally looked like i poured 5 egg yokes on the tissue. I dont know what the hell that was but i really think i had a 13 dpo miscarriage. ANyway, AF seems to be normal now. It is getting lighter though which is weird for the 2nd day but i hope she goes away so i can BD with my man. I have been so nauseous and dizzy the last week and a half, i havent had a chance to BD with him.
I started taking the 81 mg of low dose aspirin since its suppose to help. Im about to post the info on that. I also am about to research about progesteron cream to see that'll help with my lining. I NEED SOME TYPE OF ADVICE OR SOMETHING BECAUSE I REALLY DONT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO TO CONCEIVE!

my cramps are more in my back today than my front, i'm so tired and hot feel a bit moody and emotional because i don't know what's going on. If i don't get my period i may not be getting the laparoscopy i'll need to see what the doc says next week if AF hasn't started by then. I wish getting pregnant was a lot easier and less emotional i'm tired of playing the waiting game for a BFP and with wondering what my body want's to do it's emotionally draining.
ANGELLA--BEING DIABETIC ***** I KNOW..BUT THEY WILL TEACH U HOW TO CAREFULLY EAT OR WHAT NOT..
GILLIAN--I FEEL THE SAME TMI WARNING MY LAST 2 DAYS OF BOWEL MOVEMENTS FELT LIKE I HAD TO PRAY TO THE LORD FOR HELP..IT HURT SO BADLY..LMAO..BF SAYS AHH UR JUST FULL OF S*I* LMAO

I'm sorry. Maybe you should try testing with FMU. I know AF is late, but maybe you're one of the ones who don't show up until later. Or maybe you don't have enough HCG in your system to show up at night...I don't know. If you're not pregnant, I really hope you get some answers with this laparoscopy. I really, really hope you do.
CD30 and the only time AF seems to feel like it's round the corner is when i go to the loo for a #2(sorry TMI i know) I feel like i'm pushing out my period. I've had brown blood in the mornings but sometimes and only when i'm pushing on my abdomen is it red but not thick and heavy just really light then nothing afterwards.
My chest is still sore and i'm getting a bit of backache but no cramps whatsoever, I took an HPT last night and it was negative, i still think AF is going to arrive but why is it the only month i don't concentrate on ttc my period is late and when i've got a consultation next Thursday with the doc before my laparoscopy. I really hate my body

I am here. I just come in and look every day. I have not been up for chatting much. Been kind of depressed. Not only is my boyfriend I diabetic, so am I. Mine really has to do with weight. So I am not sure if having another baby is the thing for me. I will figure it out. Its in gods hands.
I am hoping someone gets a BFP soon.
Ya all really need to stop taking those test. Its just going to upset if you test to early. Maybe we can make a pact next month, not to take any test until you are late. Not I am not sure who can stick to that. But we can try. It will be kind of like trying to quit smoking..

So we are TTC and seems that I have a bit of colostrum (or something) on the right side. Has anyone had this as an early pg symptom.
Kinda in a crappy mood today...DH and I got into it last night. I'm getting so frustrated. I can't seem to ever get him to sit down and have a conversation with me without feeling like I'm talking to the wall, or that he's not paying attention because he's on the computer, watching tv, or playing a game...UGH!!! I told him I'm not going to talk to him at all today until he decides he wants to sit down and talk to me. I know we've BDed a lot, but I like spur of the moment, in the mood stuff...not "lets do it before we go to sleep because we're already in the bed and it's more convenient"...
faith~~~ I agree, I already tested once this month...*ashamed*...I'm so horrible...I'm a POAS addict!!! But I won't test again until our test date!
