    TTC, ya'll still working it?

    Melanie!!! That's crazy I was just going to post to see if you all were still around! I JUST finished my last BCP this past Friday, so it'll be awhile until I know if my cycles return. However, I'll begin to chart my temps again once I'm done bleeding. I'm also eating healthier and cut...

    Infant Day Care

    We interviewed several day cares in our area (Florida) and the range was $160-210/week for full-time. Teacher/infant ratio here is 4:1. We went with the most expensive one which was also the cleanest/nicest/most education oriented and paid $210/week. I thought it was a lot at the time but now...

    hyperemesis gravidarum and Phenergan

    Priscilla, I'm so sorry you're going through this!! I took Zofran, which was a life saver!! I still was nauseous but at least could hold down food/water. I didn't have dizziness with it but I think it caused some headaches. Sorry I don't know much about Phenergan. My SIL took it and she was...

    TTC/Miscarriage Support 4/19

    Melanie, I'm still in awe of the 2 heartbeats. How many weeks did they put you at right now? Do you have to do anything special or have precautions at this point? Reena, that's great your hormone levels are so good. If it's just a timing issue, then it should be easier to fix and the kit...

    TTC/Miscarriage Support 4/19

    Melanie, I agree it would be hard not to get your hope up if you're still getting MS symptoms - it's such an emotional area to begin with! Sounds like a good plan to get your levels checked again. And wow, 10 miles?!?! Were you running that much/far before you started training for your race...

    Good morning everyone, I've been doing MUCH better with the b/c taking it with dinner. Thanks, Melanie, for the suggestion! Priscilla, sounds like the cramping is quite common. How are you feeling today? Any other preg. symtoms? Wendy, that bruise sure sounds painful! That's cute about...

    TTCers m/c support

    I took my 2nd pill last night and I was up all night with nauseua/vomiting. I can't eat anything and I'm dreading work today. Last time I started b/c it took 3-4 months before the nauseua got better, and after that I STILL would vomit each night after I took the first active pill of each...

    TTCers m/c support

    Good morning! I started the b/c yesterday. This is just another thing to try...if it doesn't help, at least I'll know. At least for the next 3 months I won't have to feel guilty for exercising, drinking wine, using whatever I want on my face for acne... Reena, my DH is much more practical...

    TTC/Miscarriage Support Week of Mar. 22

    DH wants me to just take the BC. He hates seeing me stressed out and says at least this way there is no pressure for at least 3 months while on the pill. I'll probably end up doing it, though I'm not happy about it...maybe it WILL be a good thing not to have to worry or think about TTC for 3+...

    Refusing the bottle...someone help..

    Jen, my DD had a hard time taking the bottle too. It took her a long time to take it from ME, whereas she took it much earlier from DH and my MIL. At first DH would take his shirt off and hold her against him with the bottle, then could get by with just using his hand against her cheek. She...

    How long to wait to take baby out?

    Our pediatrician told us to wait 8 weeks before taking them to grocery stores/malls, but less crowded places were fine sooner than that.
