Kenzie. Had a 3lb chocolate chihuahua named Diego Jóse Perez. My EX BF let him outside alone and he got ran over, I cried non stop. Broke up with that fool.
Talking about country slang...got it here for sure. Texas girl. I try to type in correct grammar but normally on FB or texting someone very poor grammar, y'all, naw, ain't gonna and bless your heart hunny.

Got my Vitex and cassava in the mail and pineapple on standby and a full set of 50 OPKs and hpts ready to roll. Maybe next cycle before supplements kick in but it's a start. DH started his zinc yesterday. I did drink a cup of decaf this morning. I only drink 1 cup and decaf has very very small amt of caffeine. I can't help myself. Been drinking more water and fresh fruit and my moma gave me some fresh squash from her garden so we had that for lunch yesterday. Little squash and onion stir fry. Heck yeah!

Would love to hear about other crazy tricks y'all do each month to try to get that positive. I stack all my pillows on my bed and lay with my hiney tilted upward for at least 20-30 mins after bd....miss out on snuggle time but I'm making a baby and ain't got time for that. It's like wham bam thank you mam.

Hahahaha chicks your so funny, love that texas twang, sounds so cool and yea its not romantic around bd time but as long as you can still have a giggle about it all it helps immensely, my dh gets off and says go on then girl air bicycle time

Hi Kerzie im doing ok. Emotionally im feeling alot better, thanks for asking.
Ladies as you know after my mc my husband and I started fighting alot...3 weeks aftet my d&c we had unprotected sex not knowing that i can get pregnant. I thought since im still healing down there that i couldn't. Told my dr and she said usually after a d&c us women are real fertile and is very dangerous to get pregnant cuz it ends in a mc. Now im freaking out ladies. Ive gone thru 6 mc, i dont want to go thru another one again. Have any of you ladies gone thru this or heard that is dangerous?
Ive read that some women have healthy pregnancy and deliver. Im not ready for this. Any advice????

Shanta. Now when I read your post it has an accent in my head

http://www.fertilityafter40.com/does-eating-pineapple-with-bromelain-help-with-implantation-during-pregnancy.html

It's not advisable to take pineapple core if you are taking baby aspirin as the are both blood thinners and it can cause a mc. Try eating a handful of Brazil nuts after ovulation too to aid implantation.

Baby. All I can suggest is always mark discard for temps during af or if you have had a bad nights sleep/are ill. The coverline should be 0.1 higher than your "normal" previous six temps. Figure out your own coverline and ignore the high one. This site's coverline can be ridiculous, take no notice!
What are the names of the dogs, turtle and fish?

Woozle. I had that a few months ago but unfortunately for me it brought me on a day or two later but my problem is implanting without annoying my uterus. I hope it goes well for you and your hcg levels shoot up

Chicks. I would have run him over with a car! Bet it still upsets you to think about it, that's a horrible thing to go through
Will be reading your posts with an accent now too
I do the pillow thing too and put a puppy pad on top in case of any leakage. Sometimes I turn while staying flat and shuffle up the wall with my head and shoulders on the bed. I have to get my dh to leave the room so I don't laugh and loose everything.

Pink. I love the name Merlin. Don't think your the crazy cat lady, just the crazy lady Check out the link for pineapple core if you are still taking baby aspirin, would hate for you to implant and then mc.
Are you sure you had thrush and not just friction burns? Tell that man of yours to go easy

Miracle. Are you and your man doing better now? Try not panic about being pregnant or not, it will put stress on your relationship plus it's not good for you. If you are, go to the docs as soon as you find out and get them to help. If they don't threaten to go to a lawyer, should light a match under their ass.
If it was me I would try carry on as normal, I wouldn't test and that way it would be af. Driving yourself crazy won't do you or your relationship any good esp with your mc being so soon.

Woozle... just chimming in. But That brownish slimy eggwighte thing turned out to be ovu for me. 2 weeks later got a BFP.

Hi Girls just caught up on your thread, good to See Kerzie is back.
I just started week 12 and my sickness came back, YUK!

Ani. Yeah!!!! Second trimester here you come You are doing great girl xxx
Hope the sickness eases off soon and you can enjoy the rest of your pregnancy. I'm so glad you still pop in to say hi

TTC at 42.5 y.o. with a partner overseas (well, I'm an American expat working in Middle East, he's in Europe). It costs me money and we try to see each other but an ivc is not my option right now. I am driving nuts and become hypochondriac. 11 DPO (i know exactly when due to magic Clearblue Monitor, a wonderful investment, ladies, to know EXACTLY WHEN YOU OVULATE) and I'm holding my horses hoping that Aunt Flow won't come. I usually exercise but have stayed away from speedy treadmills, just walking speed. I had almost all early pregnancy symptoms in the book except for headaches and nausea. If bloating and burping can be "invented", I doubt that menstruation-like cramps (occurred 6 DPO) and boobs/ nips sensitivity and fullness can be simulated. So, I'm hopeful and need all the prayers in the world. I never had an abortion or MC, nor a child and if G-d grants me this miracle, I'll push my luck and ask for one more (or twins) LOL

PS: My last Anti-Mullerian Hormone test which can be done at any time of your cycle, gave me an encouraging score but one of the fertility tests discovered an obstructed tube which was resolved by the procedure itself, thank G-d! So, I encourage you to see a specialist ASAP.

Praying for all of you!

Hello lovely ladies (5DPO)
Well what a busy week already, by 11am today I had taken my daughters hedgehog to vets, gotta go back tom morn for op, done 3 lots of clothes washes and dropped urine sample into docs, so after thrush last week def a water infection this week hoping to get an appt which is rare at my docs rather then just a phone call to pick up a prescription as constant ache/pain in my right side/back and feelin sick, my daughters 21st on Wed and just got the helium balloons in
Kerzie thanks for that, no I had no idea about the aspirin and pineapple so ive stayed off the pineapple this cycle, dh was gentle so no it wasn't friction burns lol How are doing lovely BD time yet?
Miracle how are things now, try not to worry Im sure youll be fine, when have u got scan etc and when was your last test, was it still strong pos?
