I tend to like hard cheeses, the kind that never go bad, they just... lurk there in the fridge...
Is craving Gruyere a good sign? :D
I'm with ya on the weird cheese thing, kid!

Day 3 after transfer, no symptoms at all. I have a family member who is adding an awful lot of stress right now over incredibly minor things (the cat upchucked on the fancy bedspread! aiee!), and I'm paranoid/terrified the tension has already ruined everything. I must learn how to let crises like hairballs slide past me :P I just want one little symptom today, please! How about tingling breasts? That's always amusing.
I think I'll go shopping for whole-grain bread and other healthy foods on the way to the office--that always cheers me up. I just have to resist buying weird cheese. I always buy some weird cheese.
I think I am going to go completely gluten-free for a while. After I feel better (which is usually within a few weeks), I'll see if I feel like cheating once in a while and see what that does. :-) I usually find that once I'm off of gluten, I don't crave it any more. I'm going to try to eat alot more meat, fish, fruits and vegetables. (caveman diet) I know I'll have way better digestion and maybe less miscarriages. Who knows?
Maybe nothing will change, but I sure have nothing to lose by trying! I do love sweets, breads and pastas, but I want to have a baby more! So we'll see! Glad to hear you are eating healthier! It's hard to get started, but when you get going, it gets easier. (and you feel better!)
Can't wait to hear if you're preggers! Just make sure to not stress about anything at all! Let your body do its thing! SSBD!

Hi, Sherri - I figured it out, and I'm sure Pum did too :) Are you going to go completely gluten-free permanently? I don't know whether I have a gluten intolerance, but trying to eat more healthily also coincidentally led to me eliminating a lot of gluten from my diet.
I have a friend with fibromyalgia and a smart, outgoing daughter, so I know it can happen.
Laura! I hope your son is doing all right today. Does he have an old-fashioned plaster cast his friends can write, draw, and "tattoo" all over?
2dp3dt: no symptoms except I think the psychosomatic ones. I'm constantly hungry, only mildly crampy now and then, paranoid about the shower water being too hot, and using my potential "condition" as an excuse to sleep late :)
Duh! I just realized I was writing to Alice about holding positive thoughts for Sunday's ET, but I wrote that to Pum instead! Oops! Sorry! Pum, you must have been like "What is she talking about?" Lol! I'm pretty tired all the time and do dumb things like that. :-(
Still trying to figure out everything that's going wrong with my health. You know what I'm starting to think? That there IS something to this Gluten/Celiac connection to miscarriage and infertility. I've had lupus and fibromyalgia for 15 years. I have given up gluten 3 times over the last few years. Each time I do, I feel so much better and most of my joint pain is gone. I also usually feel better overall and have way more energy! I have been reading that gluten intolerance (even if you don't have full blown celiac disease can cause miscarriage. My family all has celiac disease, so I think I am definitely at least gluten intolerant. And it's highly likely that my 6 chemical pregnancies must be caused at least in part by the gluten issue!
Wonder if anyone has done research into this area? If you go on Google and type in infertility or miscarriage with the word celiac or gluten, you will see a few MILLION matches! This won't be the magic solution for everyone, but I think it might be for some! Any way, keep it in mind and do your own research! You know your body better than your doctor does!
SSBD to all! Hope to be TTC again soon!
