AF arrived :(

Well AF arrived...still sick, so I guess i am really just sick.  Kind of a sick joke, out of all the times to get a flu bug, the last week of the TWW!   I don't know if DH wants to keep "trying" so I am kind of sad.  Maybe if I just don't talk about it, it will help.  Who knows??  On the way to get some flu meds...at least I know I can take them now!

oh got ya! lol yea there are a few on here that I look forward to reading there comments and communicating with. my friends right now are people ive never even met...lol !
I went to GNC and got EPO and pre-natals. I usually get pre-natals from walmart as well.
ok, so no EPO after O... thats crazy it can cause uterine contractions.
as for the flax seed. ill find the websites where i read that about not taking while pregnant, there were a few, and Ill get back to you.
Im lucky, I get to see DH often. he goes to work at 5.30am and is usually home by 12 noon. he is a helicopter mechanic and on call 24/7 but as long as the helicopter is looked after and nothing is wrong with it he only has to be at work for 4 hours. today he got called to a different hanger though so he gona be late.

"fast and furious" I just meant, it was nice to see so many posts from you.  I had been wondering were my friend nunu was and I missed your comments.  It wasn't literal.

My 2nd mom, says her sister swears it was the fish oil that got her pg 18 years ago, so I've been interested in trying it.  Maybe while I'm stopping at GNC for the fish oil, you'll be stopping at yours for the EPO LOL :)  Do you think I should discontinue the flaxseed and switch to the fish oil?  I agree about the cheapy wal-mart brands, but that is where my pre-natals and all husbands vits are from.  They are the Spring Vally brand.  I've googled it and haven't seen a problem with them.  I'm going to finish up these bottles and switch to something else then.  (note the lack of confidence in getting a bfp anytime soon :(

If I haven't pointed this out strongly enough in prior posts, you are NOT to take EPO after you O.  It can cause uterine contractions, which is not good.  Now my last question is do I take the fish oil same time as EPO, or do I EPO 1st half and FO 2nd half?  More rehtorical - I'll have to look it up tonight.

Ha, I haven't seen DH since Sunday and now tonight I'm comitted to playing on the computer - won't he be happy :)

fast and furious??? I hadnt had a chance to get on much since before the weekend. we had a busy weekend at the airforce flight show and then went to our old town on Sunday. not sure what the heck ive been doing Monday and Tuesday though... senior moment i guess hehe

ok fish oil.. i get mine from GNC (GNC brand). i was taking cheep walmart brand then decided i didnt trust it while trying to conceive. GNC has a three dose, two dose and one dose. I take the two dose, one mornong and one night. i chose this because i dont know how well your body will absorb the EPA and DHA in one dose. it is triple purified as to take mercury out. they say to take a supplement from a single fish rather than a whole bunch of fish and from the body not the skin. not sure if this is how it is with this supplement but i like that it is purified more than the normal fish oil supplement.
also they say fish oil is better before and during pregnancy and while breastfeeding than flax seed because flax seed can interfere with hormones.  Ill find that info for you if you want.
Ill go to GNC and look if i can pull myself away from the computer

I was wondering about the fast and furious posting and why I hadn't seen you around in a few days :)

Did you still need me to post the info on EPO.  I got mine from GNC - 500mg.  You are supposed to take 1500mg to 3000mg a day for CM.  I took 2 in the morning and 2 at night, so 2000mg total.  After O, I'm now taking flaxseed oil.  I was thinking about getting fish oil, but I can't find any with quality ingrediants.  What brand do you have? And what are the ingrediants?

the robitussen thay say to take if you do want to try it is the the one with only Guaifenesin in it. so the one that loosens the mucus only and is not a cough suppressant with other active ingredients.

lol about all the work... my only work this morning is checking three days worth of posts on here and deleting them form my in-box. the guy just changed the front window on my car for the third time and i cant go anywhere. its 10.45 and ive been on here so long i forgot to have breakfast.

when i can drive my car in an hour im going to go get some EPO. i always knew it was good but like alot of other supplements i havent got around to taking any. right now i take fish oil for my own brain and for when i get pregnant again for the babies brain development. my step-son has ADHD and i ill do anything for my baby not to have to deal with that. I also take my prenatals and B6. they told me to take B6 when i was having morning sickness. they say sometimes it is caused by B6 deficiency so if i take it now then i shouldn't be deficient when i do get pregnant and maybe wont get morning sickness so bad. I also take an enzyme to help with my acid reflux i get bad. i stopped taking my prescription after i found out i was pregnant the first time. the dr said i could take it when i went to my first ultrasound. two weeks later i lost the twins. not sure if it had anything to do with my prescription but i dont want to take that chance again and will try go natural to help with it.
