    3rd m/c...we're done

    Carrie, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your story. It really does help to hear stories that have happy endings. I'm sorry for your loss and that it took your blissful innocence for your current pregnancy (at least that's how I thought of each pregnancy), but I'm sure everything...

    3rd m/c...we're done

    Thanks Jen. I guess I just wanted to say "goodbye" that I really appreciate all of the support from you guys over the years. I'm almost relieved in a way that I don't have to worry about if I'll stay pregnant or getting pregnant any time soon. I have so much to be thankful for with DH, our...

    3rd m/c...we're done

    I was so hoping this pregnancy would work out. So January, March, and May have been miscarriages this year (and we were on a break from trying in March/April). My poor body has been through so much this year with either trying to get pregnant, being pregnant, then miscarrying. DH and I agreed...

    cardio barre: ultimate

    I have it and I like it overall. For me, the positives: I feel elongated afterward, and it BURNS the butt and thighs. The negatives: Not much of a "cardio" workout as my HR doesn't raise much and I don't sweat, there's LOTs of reps which can get boring, and the upper body weight work is...

    Anyone take a break or give up on TTC?

    Taurus1, Thanks for sharing your story - it's encouraging to hear that you are pregnant again after such a rocky journey! Did they every investigate the causes of your m/c's? And congratulations on your weight loss - I'm sure that wasn't easy! I'm doing my best right now not to be crazy...

    Anyone take a break or give up on TTC?

    I am on 200 mg of Prometrium/day, my doc had me start it after ovulation. This was the first cycle with it. Honestly I think it may be due to weak ovulation, I have positive OPKs but no real temp rise and short luteal phases. Would Clomid help that? I'll call the OB tomorrow.:(

    Anyone take a break or give up on TTC?

    It looks like this one is not going to stick either.:(:(:( I started spotting and had a BFN test today.

    Anyone take a break or give up on TTC?

    Okay, I took a test today at 14 days past my positive OPK...and...it was positive!!!! What?!?! I didn't have a thermal shift this month and zero ovulation pain (usually I'm doubled over for a few hours), so I thought for sure we were out. Oh, and zero pregnancy symtoms either. I feel like the...

    Anyone take a break or give up on TTC?

    As most of you know, DH and I have been trying for another baby for over a year and a half. I recently found out that I'll have to have surgery, which requires 3 weeks of antibiotics (which are not safe in pregnancy)prior, then no sex until I heal. I'm not scheduled for the surgery consult...

    How many days post ovulation did you wait to test?

    Jackie, Thank you for your kind words. Unfortunately the pregnancy didn't stick and I had a miscarriage a few days later. My luteal phases are still short (the last one was 8 days long) and I have a feeling it may have been related to the early miscarriage. How are things going with you?

    What's your fitness "secret"?

    YES Melanie! I have to have gum in my mouth while I work out too!

    Anyone NOT counting calories?

    I haven't counted calories for years. When I did, I was obessive about it and it threw me into eating disorder mode. Even just writing down what I eat is dangerous for me. I know it's cliche but I try to eat when I'm hungry and stop when I'm satisfied. I didn't really have weight to lose...

    I need Help for My Sugar Addiction

    Amy, I'm right there with you!!! On June 2, 2009 I cut out sugar. I was so sick of how it controlled me, how I'd shake and break out into a sweat if I didn't eat every 2 hours. Not to mention how my head hurt and how exhausted I felt. I flushed everything I could down the garbage disposal that...

    I guess this pregnancy wasn't meant to be...

    I found out that my HCG levels are back down to 0 now! The nurse said that we can try again, but to wait at least 2 more weeks before having sex. I'm still bleeding quite a bit, I think doing the high impact was a bad idea.:( Melanie, sorry to hear your DH lost his job. I hope the...

    TTC.... Let's Do This!

    I think that TCOYF is most helpful if you ovulate each cycle, have a clear build-up of cervical fluid, consistent luteal phase lengths, ect. I personally found it frustrating that my cycles looked nothing like the examples in the book, so it was a little difficult to apply the book to myself...

    I guess this pregnancy wasn't meant to be...

    Thanks Susan, I hope my levels go down fast too. I have a (maybe stupid) question: the last 2 days I've done higher impact workouts (MMA Boxing and Athletic Step) and I've had more bright red blood. It's day 5 of bleeding and it seemed like it was slowing down prior to the workouts. I'm...

    I guess this pregnancy wasn't meant to be...

    I had my F/U with the nurse-midwife today. She just did a pelvic exam and sent me to get blood drawn at a lab for the HCG levels. She said the good news is that we know I can get pregnant (fallopian tubes are open, husband's sperm is fine). I brought my charts and showed her my concerns of...
