BABY DUST GIRLS :-)

[krissyy]

hi girls,

i hope you made the switch with me...we will have to do this every now and then on our big conversation threads to keep things from getting too long and slow to load...  to the new girls, you can also just post random questions by clicking on post a question and you will get answers that way too!  i am sure you've probably already scanned thru medhelp and created profiles etc so this is probably old news to you :-)

Tianna- Yes I do know what you mean on being eager, I was very eager with my first pregnancy, unfortunately I spent 8 months waiting and waiting every month to hopefully not get my period lol.
But I was so worried to try and conceive this time around because I didn't want to have to go through the whole months of trying and being disappointed, but luckily as soon as I came off birth control a week or 2 I got pregnant. So I would say that the Ovulex or anything else might help you out. Just watch out, don't be too surprised if you ever get twins, supposedly that can help with twins also. I never got my twin boys by taking fertility aid and everyone thought I did. But Good Luck to you.

Krissyy- I totally understand what you are saying about the spine thing. It really grossed me out too!!! The whole time I was in the hospital I was always dreading when it got closer to the epidural. LOL mind you when I got it, it was like 17 months ago, but I would be more worried on how its going to feel after giving birth, that is definitely interesting. Its really sore, and getting up and walking was harder. So if I think on what hurts the most its probably after giving birth. But they give you tylenol 3 and stuff. But I didn't like my day time nurses my night time nurses were great, they helped me change the babies diapers, plus my husband stayed with me for the 2 nights I had to be in there, and did not leave my side so that was helpful.

Also, I am putting up a picture of my tummy at 7 wks any one tell me if this looks too early to be showing please.

jamie-thanks for the explanation!!  i'm glad to hear that the nurses are so helpful and comforting.  i have a high pain tolerance, but i hate anything that has to do with the spine...it just freaks me out!

tfernandez-my ovulex arrived in less than a week!  but they are made from a different company than fertilaid so who knows...  yea, you need to be careful where you buy them from.  i have heard stories of the discount places selling placebos so it's really best to buy directly from the source so you know what you are getting...  how long have you been ttc?  

[tfernandez]

thank you girls SO much for answering it feels absolutely great to have insight from you!!!

I looked on ebay and i dont think im going to go that route none of the sellers looked trustworthy. And i am desperate to try ovulex, I've heard wonderful things but i really cant seem to find any. I have although looked into Fertilaid and its looking promising : )

Im ordering it on monday, does anyone know how long these things take to get to you??? Im SO eager. I know you all can probably relate.

THANK YOU all so so much for your responses. SO very helpful! And it just feels good to know there are others in the same boat who care.

I'd love to hear about yourselves and return the favor <3

thanks girls   -Tianna

AF arrived today

[Jamie21]

also the nurse who does the epidural for me came and talked to me before hand, and told me the whole thing about epidurals and what not so hopefully it goes okay when it comes your time.

[Jamie21]

The Epidural.... Hmm well to me I think it all depends on 1) Your pain Tolerance, and 2) how much pain your already in lol.

So if you go in to the hospital with major contractions, then your going to want that epidural and I don't think you'll feel it too much.

But like me I didn't have any contractions at the time of getting my epidural they just broke the water of baby a for me first, and that was supposed to help the dilation process, and they just gave it to me after doing that.
To me it didn't hurt really, they use a needle to freeze your back first, and that like any other needle is like a poke. Then I really don't know too much of what they did afterwards, but I think they put like a long IV cord down your spine and that you don't feel it... Well you do its just not painful, it just feels really weird. My husband watched them do the epidural and he though it looked like the coolest thing, and it also looked like it hurt, but it wasn't too bad at all. I guess when they poke your back in a spot blood kinda squirts out, lol I'm not helping probably, but I just thought that was cool because you don't feel anything, and its just a blur really. Plus the nurses are really nice, they stand infront of you and hold your hand and tell you its okay. So they are supportive lol.
