To: everyone

I have taken over twenty tests the past week and I have been getting really faint lines. The lines were so faint I was wondering if they were evaporation lines. I even took two digital clear blue tests with my fmu this morning and got a not pregnant. Went to walmart and decided in a last ditch effort I would try FRER and took it and within a few seconds it turned positive. I can not believe I am pregnant again. Here is my timeline
06/14/09 - IUD expelled itself
07/27/09 - BFP
08/11/09 - Lost babies due to tubal pregnancy and one with no heartbeat.
10/04/09 - LMP
10/29/09 - BFP

God has definitely blessed me with this new pregnancy as I know he will bless each of you that are ttc.

LandonNhaileighsmom - You deserve this! What a journey you have been on. So happy that you got your positive. I will pray for a healthy pregnancy.

Really...I'm over the moon for both of you.

You are all welcome Ladies for your sweet comments. Hang in there, keep trynig and don't give up. The first month we started trying, I was stressing a lot, counting DPO like crazy and testing early- that's why I think it didn't happen. However this month, I was A LOT more relaxed and just lay back and it happened:} YAY!

* Nina311: I will definately keep you posted.
* Mandyjune: when are you expecting your next AF?
* Vastinekelly: thank you for your prayers, God will bless you with a BFP soon!!
* Spikett77: Relax and, Good luck.

~Went to the DR.s and got it confirmed, today I'm 4 weeks, 4 days and Due July 5, 2010, that happens to be our 7 year anniversary:}

I had my IUD removed July 2nd and didnt have my period in July or in August and then September came around and I had my period for about 2 and 1/2 weeks. Now October is here and I havnt had my period yet since September 27th. I checked today to see if I was prego, but the test showed negative...should I try to check again? Has this happend to anyone? How long will it take for me to get prego?

by landonNhaileighsmom, Oct 30, 2009 04:32PM

I just got home from the doctor. I am approximately 3 weeks and 5 days along. I am due on July 11th, 2009. I have another appointment on monday to start monitoring my levels since I am now considered high risk since the tubal pregnancy. I know everything will be alright this time. Everything feels different this time.

by Quinns momma, Oct 30, 2009 07:15PM

Just wanted to pop on and wish you all luck. I had my Mirena removed last Nov 2008. Got my period 3 weeks later. Got my BFP 5 months after IUD was removed. Was only actively ttc 3 of those months though. I am currently 25 weeks pregnant with a baby boy.

To: everyone

hi ladies, i just wanted to say that all of us stress so much about symptoms and ovulation dates and pay attention to every litttle clue that we may be pregnant. i think we should all stop stressing and worrying so much and just let it happen,
i had my mirena iud out on august 17th. had some spotting and a period from hell on sept 30th lol
during this time me and my husband were actively trying and i like all of you was looking for every little clue that i may be pregnant. after trying ALOT for over a month and having no results we decided that we wouldnt actively try but if it happened then it happened.
i have supposed to start my period on the 27th, started to wonder if it was affects of the iud on the 29th cuz i still hadnt started my period. i had no cramps and no sign that my period was coming so i took a test this morning with my morning urine and low and behold...BFP!!!
i was in total shock!!!!s
i have had really no symtoms exept missing my period and urinating frequently. my boobs arent sore. no nausea, i have a little bit of indegestion but nothing serious. i havent even been overly tired.
so dont lose hope, it will happen when its supposed to and in my case when you are not expecting it at all. good luck to everyone.....sending lots and lots of baby dust xoxo

P.S. i used the due date calculator online and based on my last period i will be due july 7th 2010. :) :)

Hello everyone I am new here and I am happy to say that we have an appointment to get my iud removed on Tuesday. We have decided that we are ready to concieve. So I started to take prenatal pills to prepare my body is that okay? Has anyone done that.... Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can prepare my body... I really want to concieve and I have had no period for 3 years since I had my iud put in....
Thanks,
Crystal (diegos mom)

To: Everyone!!!

Happy Halloween Ladies!
First off I would like to Congratulate landonNhaileighsmom and babiesRus2 on their BFP, I'm so EXCITED for you!!! Well I am 17 weeks (HAD mIRENA REMOVED ON jULY 2) post mirena removal going on 18 and still no baby =0(. I think that I'm going to order the preseed found at babyhopes.com and see what will happen. Has anyone used this and has it worked??? Well I will keep all of you posted I wish everyone the BEST of luck with their pregnancies as well as TTC!

by chucky714, Oct 31, 2009 05:12PM

To: DiegosMommie

I started taking prenatal vitamins the same day i got my iud removed because my doctor insisted that it will have my body bounce back. Also she said to get the 800mg folic acid and if you cant find one with that you can get the one with 400mg folic but take 2 a day. Also Primose Evening Primose oil is suppose to have your AF. By the way it look like you are already a step ahead. good !

by ttc_2009, Oct 31, 2009 08:43PM

To: chucky714

Hello...I'm just curious about the prenatal pills...you said your doctor told you to take 2 a day if you couldn't find one with 800...why is that? Does it start your AF quicker? I've never heard of that and I am just a little curious...I STILL haven't started my AF and I'm just wondering how I can speed up the process!!!!!!

To: DiegosMommie,

I WAS TOLD TO WORK OUT MORE THAT WILL HELP UR BODY BE READY AND YES ITS A GOOD THING THAT U STARTED TAKING THE prenatal pills . AND U SHOULD WAIT AT LIST ONE MONTH BEFORE TTC BUT WAITING 2 MONTHS WOULD BE BETTER, IF UR BODY NOT RADY U MITE LOSE THE BABY

by noahsmommy8, Nov 01, 2009 10:22AM

To: DiegosMommie

there is nothing wrong with taking prenatals. i started taking them in august and just had my iud removed on oct. 13 09. the earlier you start the better your body will be prepared for a pregnancy! i wish you and everyone else good luck!

by sweeety09, Nov 02, 2009 11:35AM

Hello everyone!

Well the only news i got is that i am very confused..... after 4 months ttc i decided not to think about it that much and not to test again until a missed period, but i now i don;t know what is happening...... i always get my period very heavy since my first day, I was supposed to start my period on sat. (31) but i have been spotting (super, super super light) since the 30th. for example i'll go to the bathroom and i'll swipe and i notice maybe a drop or two, then the next time nothing, then the next time again about a drop or two...... and so on.

What could this be.......? i am pretty sure i am not pregnant but why would my period get like this if i am very regular?
HELP!

Please pray for me

by chucky714, Nov 03, 2009 12:52PM

To: everyone

I found out just because you dont see the discharge or have any symptoms of discharing doesnt mean you arent ovulation but i also find ut that if you feel cramps like as if your period is on you should take an opk test because this also is a sign of the egg releasing (ovulation). Once again congradulations to all the bfp. I hope to be right behing ya

I'm a runner so it isn't unusual for me to feel sore but, last night and all day today my upper back thighs and butt are achy. I actually couldn't sleep because of it. I also have been having random sharp pains in the uterus. I'm 8dpo ...it's too early to test but I'm feeling odd this cycle.

by mandyjune1987, Nov 03, 2009 06:27PM

HEY SOME INFO I FOUND OUT U CAN HAVE PMS SIGN WHEN U ARE OVULATION

by harmony191, Nov 04, 2009 07:57AM

I had my IUD removed September 17 th and on Sept 25-27 spotting then on October 2 had AF then done on the 7th. Still haven't started AF took a test today and it came out neg. I had very light spotting oct 27-29 but is was more like implantion bleeding could i be pregnant? This is driving me crazy i am trying not to stress about it and it's not working to well. Congrats to all of you that got a BFP

by sweeety09, Nov 04, 2009 11:43AM

The same thing is happening to me.... i did a test this morning and it was negative. :(
I was due for AF on the 30th and spotted very light (almost nothing, only a few drops) from the night of the 31 to noon of the 2 and then it stopped completely.

At first i thought i could be implantation bleeding but the test said different. I am sure that it's only the streess that i have been through this past month with work an all.

GOOD LUCK TO YOU AND LOTS OF BABY DUST! :)

by harmony191, Nov 04, 2009 02:12PM

To: sweeety09

my spotting was brown and only there when i wiped then gone i am having no signs of AF coming anytime soon. So i guess i will just have to see. thanks and lots of baby dust to you too.

by sweeety09, Nov 04, 2009 02:26PM

Yeah... it will just have to be the waiting game.

I read that supposibly, it should take around a week after implantation bleeding to show a positive on the test so just wait and re-test Sat or Sun and lets see what happens. :)

by harmony191, Nov 04, 2009 02:52PM

Thanks. I will try then and let you know.

I think you're all very brave and wish you all the best! I hope to be in the same boat by the middle of 2010 when I'll remove the Mireina. I hope that after 7 years it won't bee too long before I conceive.

All the best!

Update.... got my AF this morning :(.... how are you doing?

by harmony191, Nov 05, 2009 12:39PM

To: sweeety09

Well no AF for me yet. Maybe my body is still out of wack from the IUD but just have to wait and see took a dollat store test and BFN still if i don't start by the end of the month i will take another one we tried on the 14 and 15 of october and i should have been ovulating so i don't know maybe still to soon.

To: Everyone

First off congrats to all the BFP!

Well it's been 2 weeks 1 day since I had the Mirena removed and other than light spotting after removal...no AF yet :( AF was never regular when I had the Mirena in...so I'm not really sure when to expect it. I am thinking around the 14th but who knows....

So for now I am playing the waiting game...(I hate that game! LOL)...but I figure that I better not stress it otherwise I could do more harm than good.

Good luck and lots of baby dust to everyone ttc!!

by mandyjune1987, Nov 05, 2009 03:20PM

i no what u meen the waiting game *****, this month im trying not to think about making a baby all the time and just trying to have fun and it is more fun when u do it for fun not just to have a baby. after 5 months omost 6 months of stressing about when to have sex and is my body ready etc i was starting to go crazy its more fun this way but it hard not to think about it

Yay I got my IUD removed today and my doctor said I dont have to wait 3 months, Like I had heard!! She told me to start vitamins and folic acid. Wish me luck and Good luck to all of you!!!

by shortstuff78, Nov 05, 2009 11:03PM

After reading these great stories, I feel a whole lot better about what will happen after getting the IUD removed. I kept hearing all these horror stories that after being on a contraceptive for so long might cause you to not be able to concieve again. I've had the IUD for about 5 years and my husband finally gave me the green light to take it out and start on our 3rd baby. He also told me to get some feed back on possible consequences of having it on for so long. You sure did make me feel better cause none of you commented on having to try for years after so THANX!!!!

Well I am now 6 weeks pregnant and have my first appt in 13 days I am so excited and nervous. I am due July 1, 2010 and I am freaking out I am starting to wonder if I am having twins cause I am showing alot more than I did before my boss I worked with didn't know I was pregnant till 2 weeks before I was due with my son, this time however I am already showing. I have twins on my dads side 4 sets, and my husbands side 2 sets so I guess I will just have to wait and see, There are none on my moms side that I know of but I take more after my dad... I am so anxious. Does anybody know what your uterus measures when you are pregnant with twins at 6 weeks, I know with one baby your uterus in 1 inch for every week but what about twins. Congrats to the new BFP. To those ttc keep us updated

by harmony191, Nov 06, 2009 02:57PM

going into the weekend still haven't started AF i wish i would strat so i can start to calculate when i ovulate. I have already taken a pregnancy test and got a BFN. so frusturating.

My partner and i want to try for a baby. i had no periods while i had the coil. 3 days after having the coil removed i had a dark brown really light bleed, but nothing since. I started feeling really sick and dizzy and really really tired about 3 weeks ago and thought that i could be pregnant. I have been taking tests a couple of times a week for the past 2 weeks but they are all negative!! I was so convinced i was pregnant as of all the symptoms i have been getting now i just dont know :( xx

Hi Everyone....Im new to this and i had merina for an yr and got it removed this August and got my cycle very next day....had it for 3 days and then followed by 2 more cycles with 30 days apart....But im not ovulating...Ive been trying those ovulation strips for the last 3 months and its jus 1 dark line.....Is there anyone out there who followed the ovulation tests??? Im getting so worried....its been more than 3 months and nothing is happening....Any suggestions???

by babiesRus2, Nov 07, 2009 05:35PM

To: tryingmom3175

Well, don't get discouraged. No positive OPK doesn't necessarily mean no ovulation. With testing for ovulation, it's easy to miss your LH surge if you don't test when it's occuring and since it may be very brief, you can totally miss it. I tried to test the 1st cycle of TTC and I did get the positive OPK but no pregnancy that cycle. I think I was over-stressing. Well the next month of TTC, I just went with the flow, no testing or counting DPO and I'm now almost 6 weeks pregnant!!!! Try not to stress and just let the process go naturally. It'll happen. Good Luck:}

Well ladies I'm almost 6 weeks pregnant, having some symptoms now, sore boobs, nausea (epecially at night), and dizziness but I'm loving it:} I feel great!

hello all,

i have been watching this post for a few days now....i just had my iud removed about two weeks ago, but i think i'm batting a thousand here because i'm also hoping that my hubby's vasectomy fails as well....lol we initially decided that we didn't want any of our own kids, as we have four--2 each from our previous marriages--however, with his current pending deployment to afghanistan, we recently changed our minds. go figure huh? we don't have time to have a reversal done before he leaves, so i'm really wishful thinking over here....lol

anyway, i had the initial post removal spotting, but no AF since. i had my iud in for almost the full five years (march 2010 would have been 5), and AF stopped visiting after about the first 6 months post insertion. it's been very nice not having her visit every month. but now i have no clue when, if, or how i might ovulate or get a visit since it's been so long! any info or suggestions would be welcome. good luck to those ttc and congrats to those who have!

by LiLimomof3, Nov 08, 2009 08:14PM

My IUD came out October 12th and though I hadnt planned on another baby, I started having all the signs of pregnancy. So I tested 4 times all BFN then today AF. SO sad and dissappointed. Im not planning to go back on any birthcontrol, so maybe a new baby is in my future.

To: All

So it's been awhile-- I am not as faithful of a writer as I use to be.. but been busy. Got a promotion at work (10/8 official notice started on 16th) and started working OT even.

I think my job is the reason AF decieded to visit my first week of work (ha ha--hints the sarcasim). But I was happy that I didnt have to go through 6months of working out and weight loss to make it happen again like before my first and only son.

This week is aprox the 28-30day range of a normal reapearance of AF, so wish me luck. If she dont visit I am going to test. I have had some odd symptoms that I normally never get, nor did I get when I was pregnant with my son.. late night nausea and killer heart burn. Incredibly tired (but I've been blaming that on work) sore body/lower back and exhaustion.

Does this sound like pregnancy at all? No other distinct syptomps...

To: Hi Caralea!

Thanks for sending me that note yesterday :)
We are still on about the same page. I am expecting AF this week. Like you...I have been having some different symptoms. I am cautious about saying I feel pregnant. A lot of my symptoms are also PMS symptoms so....It's frustrating!
Achy upper legs are a new one though. I also had cramping on Friday and Saturday...just twinges since then. Other fun stuff, lots of saliva? headaches, fatigue, aversion to eggs, a little dizzy on and off, and 'rip my clothes off' type hot flashes.
I should know either way by Friday.

To: Everyone

Good morning ladies!!

Well this weekend I got my first AF since my IUD removal. Started Saturday and was bright red. I was a little disapointed that she came at all...but relieved at the same time. I was worried she may never come at all! Yesterday I had light bleeding as well...now this morning NOTHING. Could my first AF really have only been 2 days? Should I be concerned or grateful that it was only 2 days? I haven't had a regular AF in years so I wasn't sure what to expect.

At least I know that in 2 weeks I should be ovulating and we can start trying again. We have decided to try every other day so that we don't miss any window of time.

Wish me luck and congrats to all the BFP!! Baby dust to all of us TTC!!

To: every one

Well I tested on 10-28-09 and dthe ovulation test was positive i had sex that day and the next 3. The baby hope website said i could test on the 6th and i did only got a BFN i last night and i still fot a BFN so My AF is suppose to visit me on the 11th but i know it can be late or early. it doesn't look like its gonna be early though and that he website said that if I dont see it by the 13th I could be pregnant but all of these stories have me believing that even if i dont see it it still doesn't mean i am pregnantI am scared i really dont even know why I am so anixous for this baby to conceive ASAP because when i was on depo it took me a year and after the patch it took me about 6 months. The only difference is my 1st two wasn't planned and we decided to plan this one. Can some please give me words of encouragement thanks

Does anyone have any ideas what this could mean? I am ttc at the moment and i was wondering could this be a sign that im pregnant i havent done a test yet.

Hi I have had the same thing happen when I was pregnant with both of my boys.. So yes you may be pregnant. I would test if it doesn't get heavier. If it is a brownish or light pink I would say yes. I had spotting for the first 2-3 months with both pregnancy..It's just some old bood that is slowly making it's way out.. Good luck & Baby dust your way!

by AriandDylsMom, Nov 09, 2009 04:34PM

If it's not AF then what do you think it is?? I am concerned that it was so light and only for 1 1/2 - 2 days....do you think I could be pregnant already and this is just spotting?? While I was on the Mirena I didn't really get "regular" AF but when I did get them it was usually mid month...so I thought in October I would have ovulated around the 26th ish...and I was having sex every other day then. Hmmmm....

To: Moo1736

I think what you might have had was post removal spotting. I had mine removed on the 21st and two days later I had light spotting that also lasted about 2 days. That's why I was confident that what I had this weekend was AF. But the more I talk about it the less I think so :( Who knows what it was...

Good luck to you and everyone ttc!!!

To: Spiket77 & mandyjune1987,

I took a test this morning (a little anxious to know) and it was neg... I wonder if I am just doomed. Damn PCOS!! I was hoping for a holiday suprise for our family on the flip side I like the idea of a non-summer birthday!

Maybe I just tested too soon, cause this heartburn and nausea *****!

So here are my stats:
Fri 7-17-09 IUD removal (light spotting 2-3days)
**several neg tests later
Fri 10-9-09 AF (light at first lasted 2 weeks)
Est. ovulation 22-24 (on a 28day cycle)
Est. AF return (28day cycle last friday) longer cycle this week- or Maybe I am prego and its way to early to know...

I found out with my son around 7-8 weeks so I am not sure if know this early would be nearly as fun!

Hey girls!! I am currently 5 weeks and 2 days pregnant. I was just wondering if any of your recently pregnant women have had any of your symptoms go away or lessen. My boobs were killing me a few days and now they dont really bother me at all. I was in the er a last night with a little bit of spotting and now I am freaking out. Any advice would help.

Most recent symptom- horrible leg swelling... I still have imprints from my ankle socks 2hours later? Is this something more serious or is this a possible pregnancy symptom.

Hello Ladies,

Long time no post. To recap my paraguard IUD was removed 8/6. Then I was informed that I had A typical cells on my cervix that may prevent concerption. Turns out I don't actually need surgery as of yet, that was good news. Below is my cycle over the past few months:

8/6 - IUD out
8/23 - AF
9/16 - AF
10/13 - AF
11/10 - BFP

I am so very excited. Congrats to all the other BFP holders and very sticky baby dust to all.

I also have a friend who is 6 days aprart from my due date and ahe also said her boobs have been sore on and off. Also, my nausea hasn't bothered me for the last few days.
I wouldn't worry about that, but what did your Doc say about the spotting you experienced?? Is it gone?

The spotting stopped. They have been monitoring my hcg levels and sunday my level was at 1569 and had them drawn again yesterday and my level was at 2761. So atleast my levels are climbing and my doctor is hopeful. I go back on monday for more blood and another ultrasound. I will be about 6 weeks and 2 days so they should be able to see something this time. I am trying to calm down and not stress. I will keep you updated. And thanks for telling me that your symptoms come and go. It did really have me worried.

by landonNhaileighsmom, Nov 11, 2009 08:28PM

I was just wondering what the doctor diagnosed you with. Sorry I havent been on in a few days and just got your email. I was just thinking that if there was an infection or something that that could be the reason why you arent getting pregnant. I am glad you found a new doctor and I hope to hear you are pregnant soon.

by Spiket77, Nov 12, 2009 07:59AM

To: Ladies

AF is due tomorrow. I got anxious and tested this morning and it was negative. Most of the things I thought were 'symptoms' have gone away. It could be too soon but I doubt it. I suspect that I'm ovulating later than I thought and will try the ovulation test next time. I haven't done that yet.

Oh well....wine helps to get through Thanksgiving dinner with the family anyway! HA! At least I can enjoy that.

Caralea- I think swollen legs are usually at the end of pregnancy. It sounds like you have some Edema going on. Might want to check with your doctor.

by Mom2_1_103103, Nov 12, 2009 08:39AM

No real symptoms to speak of. No food aversions just a stong crave for coffee every now and again. I am just waiting for the morning sickness to kick in (though I really dont want it) then I think the rest should follow. July is going to be a great month of births and I am so excited. I went in for my blood work yesterday and I should have the results today... keep your fingers crossed for me!

I came across great info. I already have 2 boys. So we are getting ready for our 3rd not yet ttc. When ttc I read that the most women miss ovulation even though you have sex on the day. It takes a while for the sperm to travel and the egg is only good for a few hours. So it said women should start trying a day are so before ovulation. The egg is only good for a few hours the sperm last a few day. Hope this helps some one.

hi all.

i am new to this post so I will try to get this out right.
I have my mirena out the 14th of Sept 2009 I had my reg cycle on the 16th of Sept 2009. but then they never stopped when i had the mirena so i knew when it was coming. it lasted about 7 day alittle longer then usual but no problem. Me and my husband have been trying since then. my cycle in oct started on the 16th like usual and i used one of those OV calculators to see when the best time would be to conceive and is said the 26th to the 30th but i don't feel prego. I should tell you a little about my first pregnancy. When i was pregnant with my first child i didn't know i was pregnant for 12 and a half weeks i mean i did a HPT every week and nothing. ok to get to my question how long does it usual take after mirena to conceive?
If you could help please.

Thanks, Brandie Baby dust to all. And Good Luck TTC

Removal 07/17/09
AF 10/16/09
Ovulation- HA HA? right

I finally got AF on 10-16 my first time since May of 2006 right before I conceived my 1st and only child. On the iud I had nothing. So it was a huge start to hopefully ovulate. Keep me posted on what kind of treatment your DR does, I am interested in what my options are and I just got a promotion including full benefits!!

I go for my first ultrasound next Monday and I'm so excited and nervous. I just want to encourage everyone to stay healthy and let nature take its course cuz if was after I stop tryn to get pregnant when I actually got pregnant my husband had to tell me to go get a test at 5am cuz he knew something was wrong.

I had to wait 3+months for AF to show up on her own, so how long is it going to be for a BFP? My husband thinks I am pregnant now, but Monday morning I took a test and it was neg. So I am very leary about testing again for another disappointment.

Today is day 28 and no signs of AF again. We've been married for almost 6months now and its been 4 months since removal (we are more than ready for something exciting). He is more ready than I am to have a baby, I really would like one too- I just dont want to keep being disappointed.

My jeans are tight, loosing weight was been a failure this time around, my boobs are swollen, I have got the hiccups like crazy the last few days, nauseating heart-burn and I have been working like crazy 46 hours/week (so I am always tired). Symptoms of pregnancy or just life???

I am trying not to think about it that much like before... we have been partying ALOT and drinking ALOT so with the help of the alcohol i think it will be even wrost. :) but i am just kinda dissapointed that it is taking so long to get pregnant that i just want to continue with my normal like and if it happens, it happens.

We will wait a year and if nothing happens..... we'll problaby go to an specialist. I already have 3 kids so i am starting to think that there is nothing wrong with me, but with my hubby :(

I was on a 28day cycle from jan-march, missed april and AF back in May then was prego June 2006. So how is it this time is so rediculous- the only thing I can think of is I lost weight back then, now all I am doing is working like crazy, I'm tired and gaining weight. Even in my boobs. LOL

Hope to be preggers again for the holidays- DH and I keep praying for it, but we'll see.

when should i ovulate

by mandyjune1987, Nov 15, 2009 01:06PM

To: something i found online to help u gt prego

Vitex (Agnus Castus / Chasteberry)

There have been a ton of studies that show how great Vitex is as helping many women fall pregnant and balance their reproductive systems but what does it actually do and how much do you need to take?

Vitex helps you get pregnant by balancing your hormones, which is why it is especially beneficial for women with PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome). With today’s diets and lifestyles it’s not uncommon to have your balance of estrogen and progesterone out of whack making it difficult to conceive and so Vitex works with the body to balance things out again.

If you have a luteal phase defect (where the second half of your cycle after ovulation is less than 10 days) then many women have reported that Vitex can help correct that.

Vitex does take a while to work within the body so allow up to 3 – 6 months before you see any significant changes.

It can be taken throughout your whole cycle until your fall pregnant and you can get it in tea, tincture or capsule form whichever you prefer.

Vitamin B6

Vitamin B6 is another great fertility booster and should be taken by all women (not just those trying to get pregnant). Many women say that the used vitamin b6 to get pregnant successfully after trying prior to using it for months without success.

It is beneficial in reducing period cramps, PMS, fluid retention, mood swings, and of course for improving fertility. It will increase your odds of falling pregnant and also for preventing miscarriage in the early weeks.

It’s very good for women who have a luteal phase defect and they will benefit greatly from Vitamin B6 as it helps increase the levels of progesterone in the body. A deficiency in B6 leads to too much estrogen. It’s also great for improving cervical mucus so that sperm can live longer which increases your chance of conceiving each month.

Most women report great results with around 60mg per day but it’s safe to take up to 200mg.

Do you take B6 for your whole cycle? Yes, you can safely take it throughout your whole cycle and it’s best taken in conjunction with the other B group vitamins.

I had my mirena removed on Oct. 14 had what i assumed to be an AF on thee 16th for about four days. Today, Nov. 15, I got a BFP, I have been reading about how some women have had miscarriages due to getting pregnant so soon after the removal. Has anyone carried a full pregnancy alright after getting pregnant so soon??? Please I'm really scared about this.

Hey I'm sure that you are worried but try not to worry to much. I know 2 people that has had the same luck and there babies were healthy. My sis-n-law had the same luck at this time last year. And the baby is now 3 month and couldn't be any better. Good luck and try not to worry. I talked to my Dr. about that happening and she said the changes of miscarriage is the same as any other pergnancy. But some Dr. ask that you wait but you don't have to. Take care of your self and rest when you can and be sure an start vim.

My ER doctor told me I have pregnancy Hyperemisis. Has anyone every gotten this, could this have anything to do with having had an IUD because my other 2 pregnancies were never like this.

Well ladies I need some advice and/or info...

I have had the weirdest symptoms the last week and I can't make sense of it. This weekend I was experiencing the weirdest case of vertigo. I missed a couple of steps here and there, walked into corners while I was turning them, etc. I've also had this lingering headache for about 5 days now. I find myself getting car sick at least once a day. (My job requires a lot of travel so it's no uncommon that I am in a vehicle 3-4 hours a day) The last 3 nights I have had the CRAZIEST dreams...crazier than I've ever had before. Causing me to wake up in sweats, crying, and just terrified. I've never had dreams like this before...and they all seem so real! Then yesterday I was eating some celery and the taste was so disgusting to me, I asked my boyfriend to take a bite and tell me if it was gross to him and he said it was fine!

Now I have two kids so I'm not new to all these symptoms...but I've never had them as extreme as this before.

Here is my calandar of events:

Oct 21st - IUD removal
Oct 23 - 25th - post removal spotting
Nov 7th - AF - bright red and normal flow
Nov 8th - AF disapeared
Nov 9th evening - spotting started lasting about 24 hours
Nov 14th - BFN

I have no idea whats going on with my body lately but everything just seems outta wack. Could this be my hormones still balancing or what?? Or could I be prego?

When I was pregnant with my son (now 4) I didn't find out until I was 18 weeks because I continued to get my periods the entire pregnacy and when I eventually did take a test the line was so faint that both my girlfriend and I thought it was all in our heads! I had to have it confirmed by a vaginal ultrasound.

Needless to say I don't want to find out 4 months down the line that I have been pregnant this whole time...but I do think it's very early (almost TOO early) to be pregnant and/or be experiencing these things...

Am I crazy??? LOL Anyone have any ideas whats going on with me???

Thanks in advance and good luck to all.... ~**BABYDUST**~

I really feel for you! I have been going through the same thing. I am 12 weeks pregnant and I have been so sick. I was never this sick for my first two pregnancies so I really wasn't expecting this. I lost 8 pounds and was in bed for almost a full month. I tried a few things including accupuncture which gave me some relief. Also ginger tea if you can stand to drink it, even in small amounts can help. Everyone finds different things but if you need more ideas I got 'um,
I don't believe that the IUD has anything to do with our morning sickness though. I had mine removed back on July 21 and got a BFP on Sept. 16 It was not a lot of time in between, only one cycle. But I don't think that the IUD hormones are the same ones making us sick. You can take solace in the fact that at about 8 weeks the hormone levels in your body peak and the placenta forms and begins to take over the production of those hormones so that you don't have them just coursing through your veins. But it usually takes until the 12th or 13th week for everything to level off to a point that doesn't make you sick. I'm telling you this because I think it is important to believe that it WILL get better. I got really depressed when I was so sick but you have to know that there will be an end to it.
I hope that this has helped in some small way. I was really struggling to find others with similar situations because I felt very isolated when I was in bed all the time sick. I'm still not out of the woods yet. I am sick more of the day than not, but I have improved. It probably won't happen as quickly as you would like, but I hope it happens soon for you.
Take care!

Hey everyone I am new to this forum baut I have been reading everyones commentd for a while now and it has really helped with this whole process after having my IUD removed. I had my first baby in June of 2008 and then my husband got deployed for Iraq around the same time. When he got back we decided to have another since my husband missed everything with his first child and besides we both really want to try for a girl. I had my IUD removed Oct 8 2009 and had my AF or post bleeding Oct 10-12. Luckily I am very fortunate and got a BFP Nov 16. I am almost 6 weeks and very excited.

Good luck to everyone and Baby dust for all those trying!!!

My husband and I wanted to have another baby and I was wondering if I got my iud out on Oct. 23, and three days later I started heavily bleeding with clots. Lasted about a week. Nothing ever since. Today I saw some dark brown coloring after I used the bathroom. I was just wondering how early can I take a pregnacy test?

Hey all, I haven't been on this page since the summer but I thought I'd come back and post encouragement to all the newcomers.

I had my Mirena in for about a year and a half.  I had it removed and got pregnant within weeks.  We weren't trying because I thought it would be better to wait a month.  But we weren't using protection either.  A month after having the Mirena removed, I got a positive pregnancy test.

I'm now 6 months pregnant and have had not complications.  I was worried about miscarriage because I had no period before getting pregnant, and it happened so quickly.  But everything is perfect!

Good luck to everyone!  Anything's possible! (Especially when you don't stress)

Has anyone gotten pregnant while having periods? Maybe I should wait till Dec. to test again. Thank you for the help. Let you know if something happens.
