Trh0819 & Mystery77-  I have to go in for my hcg and progesterone shot tomorrow so i'll ask the nurse why dr took me off  all the vits, in all the pregnancy books they recommend all these vits, i forgot to ask the dr why when i was there..

Other then that wondering if you are feeling any nausea, i dont feel it and i feel perfectly fine now, no more food adversions, i have a healthy appetite now and eating more fruits and veggies, loving strawberries at the moment to kill my sweet tooth.  I've been used to seeing dr every week my next scan isnt til next week 10.. weird how i've come to depend on the dr visits to reasure myself baby's heart beat is till there.  I'm back at work but only working 3 hrs today and one hr for next three days so its enough to get my mind off of things.

Hope all is well with all the rest of you.

I have been told to take folic acid and vitamin B6, nothing else!  I was told this before the blood clot and my RE hasn't changed this since.

My RE gave me a prenatal with folic acid plus I take fish oil and a calcium supplement. That's all he has me on and I've been taking these since we started treatment last year.

I was wondering what your doctors said about taking prenatal vit's etc..  when i showed my dr that i was taking prenatal vit, fish oil, vit c, zinc and vit e he told me to stop taking them and only take folic acid twice a day until after my first trimester.  i dont know if it's because i have a blood clot, but i was wondering what your dr's told you regarding vits in the first trimester.

Just checking in to see how you are all doing! I am cycle day 12 and we are trying a little experiment! Still taking my estrace ans baby asprin...when opk goes positive i will start my progesterone again and we are trying "au naturale"!! It can't hurt to try for now...maybe a miracle will happen and my prayers will be answered.

So far my opk's are negative but i am still monitoring everything which feels wierd! Once i started paying the RE the big bucks i left it up to them. I just called in on day one and they did the rest...LOL!!!

I hope everyone is doing well and your little nuggets are growing well!!!

trh0819-im wondering if the the fish oil capsule i'm taking is affecting my tummy, usually when i wake up i am hungry usually i find it easy to eat museli cereal with my quinoa milk or today i had two slices of toast with low fat cream cheese.  i dont usually eat cream cheese but i read that first trimester you should take in 1000, to 12000,mg of calcium a day.  So now i'm taking pleasure in eating the foods i would normally stay away from like cream cheese, cheese, and yoghurt, i hate milk so have resorted to oat milk with calcium and soy milk with calcium.

You might want to try eating a banana with almonds when your tummy is not well, i find this really helps and even if the thought of it turns my stomach once i eat the banana i feel much better..  also found that a peanut butter (all natural)  and jelly sandwhich is a good treat.

hope this hellps
