Pregnancy Info HOME

I have another ultra sound scheduled for Thursday, hoping to see the fetal pole. Thank you to everyone for the words of encouragement and all of your prayers. tamara37

Krissy - Its nice when you can recycle things in the family! LOL... I passed all my baby stuff to my sis after my DS1 was older. She used them for her 2 kids, and when DD2 was born, she passed me all her stuff. I find it funny that a lot of it was mine to begin with! DD2 wears some of the PJs that DD1 wore 10 years earlier. But when they are that young, its not like they wear anything out. They wear it a few times and outgrow it.

My 2 older ones go to Italian school on Saturday mornings from 9am to 11:30am. They are done for the year now. I want them learning a second language. My DH and I are both Italian, and since we really don't speak it in the home, we want our kids to at least get the basics.

It took a couple of hours after my walk before my hands went back to normal. I remember this happening with my last 2 pregnancies as well. Its a little annoying, but not much I can do about it.

Your symptoms sound promising! Hopefully it all works out for ya :)

Tamara - keeping fingers crossed for your u/s on Thurs.

I am looking forward to my OB visit tomorrow. Hopefully I can get a docs note without too much hassle. Then I will be done work! Yeah! Its getting way too uncomfortable for me. Right now, I am sitting at the desk and my back is killing me in this chair! I also have my massage therapy apt tomorrow... which is nice.

tamara - I can't wait to hear about the upcoming u/s. How are you doing? Rub your belly for me.

babyblue - It saves a lot of money when you can recycle. How are you doing? Rub your belly for me

Here is my update I did take a hpt yesterday and it was a bfn I was cd25/11dpo but I kinda figure it would be not upset or depress. My temp did go up from yesterday 98.20 to 98.39 so to me that is a good sign. My symptoms are still the same. I will not test again for a few days. I will keep you girls updated. Krissy68

Hey girls I just wanted to give you a quick update. My temp took a nose dive today so I know AF will be here in a few days. Krissy68

Better luck next month Krissy :) Don't worry... it will happen for you!

Today is my last day of work, so I am quite happy. Feeling so uncomfortable and restless. I can barely concentrate on my job anyway! LOL. I have 2 weeks to enjoy some quiet in the house before the kids are done school and daycare. I plan to make the most of it! LOL... nesting is about to go into HIGH GEAR!

babyblue2 - Congratulation on this being your last day at work and I know you are going to enjoy the peace and quite at home before the kids are done with school. Keep rubbing your belly. Please let me know when baby is born. Take care. AF found me at 3am. Krissy68

Hello everyone went and had my ultrasound today and they saw the fetal pole and heartbeart!!!! We are progressing.... We see progression and then the doctors come with something else, the heartbeat was 99 and they said that it should be at least a 100, so I have to go back for another u/s next week (Wed). I'm still very optimistic. Thanks for all your prayers.

Tamara - very good news that you got to see your little beans HB!!! I wouldn't be worried that it was very slightly off. Hopefully your u/s next week shows everything is perfect and you can begin to relax.

Planning to relax and be lazy this weekend... then I have my spring cleaning to finish next week. I may be done work, but work is never done!! LOL

tamara37 - that is good news you got to see the fetal pole and heard the heartbeat. I wouldn't be that concerned with the heartbeat number only being 1 number off but that is just me. I'm sure everythign will be okay and look at it this way whatever the reason is you will get to have another u/s. Rub your belly and try not to worry. How are you feeling?

babyblue2 - Have a very nice and relaxing weekend. Rub your belly for me and take care.

Here is my update I am on cd 2 and I am telling you AF is kicking my butt. I am bleeding real heavy and cramping like their is no tomorrow. I will be okay I am keeping a positive outlook. I did want to let you all know that for this cycle I am trying this Vitex/B6 Fertility Recipe have anyone heard of this. I got it off of womens-place dot com. I will keep you posted on how it is working out. I hope everyone have a great weekend. Krissy68

Krissy, I'm cd2 now also...(see, woman who "hang out" together, get their cycles in sync.haha)...can you tell me about the recipe? never heard of it...

oh, it's kicking my butt too. btw

runnershirl - I was on the net searching to try and find out information on Vitex and then this website pop up: womens-place dot com. They have 2 recipe. I am using the Recipe #1 and here it is: Take the whole cycle: 1 Prenatal Vitamin Daily (got at Walmart for $4)-1 Baby Aspirin Daily (got at Walmart for $1.67) - 1 50mg B6 Vitamin in the morning (got at Walmart for $1.77) - 1 B50 Comlex Vitamin in the evening (got at Walmart for $3.54). From Cycle Day 1 until Ovulation: 2 Vitex 500mg Capsules in the morning (mines are only 400mg and I got these at the health food store for $5.97) and 2 Vitex 500mg Capsules in the evening. From the End of your period until Ovulation: Take 2-4 teaspoons of robintussin every 4 hours but don't exceed 6 doses in a 24 hrs time frame.

Here is Receipe # 2: Take Whole Cycle: 1 Prenatal Vitamin Daily - 1 B6 100mg Vitamin 2-3 times a day. Start with twice a day and can take up to 300mg. Only take as much as YOUR body needs to produce good quality mucus. 1 B50 Complex Time Release Tablet Daily and 1 Baby Aspirin Daily. Cycle Day 5 until Period Shows or Comfirmed Pregnant: 1 Vitex 500mg Capsule 2-3 times a day with meals or a glass of water. Suggest starting at twice a day and going up if needed. Around Ovulation: Take 2-4 teaspoon every 4 hours donot exceed 6 doses in a 24 hour time frame. CD 1-5 Stop Vitex and let body rest and use the herbs already taken. Here is a Note: Recipe #1 and Recipe #2 have both resulted in happu healthy babies. Recipe #2 is a little more controversial than #1 in that it includes Vitex until pregnant and it includes a higher dose of B6. Be informed regarless of which one you use. THINGS TO AVOID: Do not take vitex with clomid or any other fertility drug. They can counteract each other. Yes we are cycle buddies so here's to a new cycle. Good Luck to you. Are you going to see your doctor. I don't have an appointment until July 27. Have a nice weekend. Krissy68

Hope everyone is doing well. This rainy weather is killing me! My sinuses are stuffy, which makes me nauseous! Ugh! Like I didn't already go through 18 weeks of MS in the beginning! LOL

This past weekend, my hubby and I made a cast of my tummy! Turned out awesome! Was a lot of fun too. 5 weeks to go... so we are trying to get lots of preggo pics in for my babys' scrapbook. This weekend we will be tummy painting with the kids!

babyblue2 - That sounds so wonderful and I just love taking pictures. So snap away and enjoy the last 5 weeks. Are you ready for baby to come? Take care and rub your belly for me. Krissy68

Hi everyone! Hope you are all doing fine. Just wanted to drag our thread back to the top! Had a great weekend tummy painting with my kids (although I am still finding paint everywhere from my 20 month old!). How is everyone feeling? Anyone getting close to testing?

babyblue2 - The tummy painting sound like fun. Well I still have a way to go before taking the hpt. I did however get a positive on the opk on cd 12 & 13 just like last month. I will update but I am thinking that fertility friend will say that my ovulation will be today cd 14. I will keep you posted. How are you doing and feeling? Rub your belly for me. Krissy68
