So sorry :-( Leela and Jackie, I'm sad to hear of your losses. Miscarriage is something that touches us so much--such a sad thing, and so many feelings surface. I had a miscarriage four years ago at 8 weeks. I had the same questions as you do. Your doctor may tell you to wait until your...

Congratulations, Hazel! She is such a sweetie! Aren't babies precious? It IS true, that the difficult and long births don't seem as difficult and long after the babies are born. They are well worth the effort! Enjoy your new little girl, and take lots of pictures! Kristin

Happy Belated Birthday! And I hope you're enjoying your weekend in Florida! Your rest is certainly well-deserved! Kristin Aziz

It's still down And it's 1:54 p.m. EST. I couldn't get in last night, either. Funny, first thing I did when I couldn't get in a few minutes ago was to come over here and check to see if there was a "VF Forum Down" thread! I guess I'm not the only one, LOL!

Stress fracture--UGH!!! Hi Laura, Sorry to hear about your stress fracture. Unfortunately, I know about them all too well (from personal experience). I had a stress fracture in my hip that was diagnosed last November (I had been having pain since September). To make a long story short, it...

Hi Kim! We are always so good at giving advice, but when it comes to taking it ourselves we could use some help. You know I'm speaking from experience myself. Rest up, focus on upper body, and try to have patience! I'll commiserate with you. Kristin

I had one The bone density test I had was called a Dexascan, I think. It doesn't involve blood work. It's similar to an X-ray, but the technician told me that the amount of radiation used is a lot less. I had to lie down on a table, and they passed a machine over me for about 5 minutes...

Geez, I go away for a few days... :-) And look what happens! People start saying (nice) things about me behind my back! LOL! I'm not TOTALLY nuts here--remember that I didn't KNOW that what I had was a stress fracture--heehee--and I stayed on the 8" so that I'd have an excuse not to do the...

LOL, Kimberly! Love those combos! It's making me hungry just reading about them! As I see it, the PS series will probably come out on DVD just as my VHS tapes are wearing out... Kristin

Congratulations, Sara! Your pregnancy has gone so quickly (for the onlooker, anyway; I'm sure it hasn't for you! )! James Kenyon is a beautiful name! What a blessing babies are. Enjoy him--when they're babies it seems like they always will be, but they grow up so quickly! I'm glad your...

Hi Sandra! Here's a link to the New Reviews page: http://www.videofitness.com/videofitness/reviews/new.asp. My reviews of the ball tapes are a little more than half the way down the page, and are dated 4/27. I know that there are a couple of other reviews of the abs tape (Daphne's for one...

Me too! I had the same experience as Danielle did. My hypothyroidism was discovered when during a routine GYN exam my doctor found that I had a goiter. This was in September of 1992 when I was 26. I became pregnant on the second cycle of trying in January of 1993, so no problems there. I've...

Hi Joanna! Oh, I understand now! So, the main thing is to continue doing things that will maintain my bone density. I was really concerned before I had my scan that I might have done some really stupid things in my teenage years and early 20's (stupid eating habits, mainly) that might have...

Ball size :-) But seriously now... From what I understand, when you sit on the ball your knees are supposed to be close to a 90 degree angle. You have some leeway with the size of the ball since you can inflate or deflate it to size. I have the 65 cm ball that came with the newer Gin Miller...

LOL, Betsy! Not THAT again!!! I guess we just have to get our "fix" in this thread since there was no chat this week!

I had one done Joanna, I wasn't aware that the test is inconclusive for premenopausal women! That worries me a little bit now. I had/have a stress fracture in the neck of my femur that was diagnosed in November. My second (and current) orthopedic surgeon (I had a bad experience with the...

A suggestion I was lucky--we were able to conceive each time we tried very easily. I did opt to use the ovulation kits, though, which may have helped. What I was planning to do was to use the kits in tandem with the cervical mucous method, and that way I would be able to gauge how the mucous...

No, Daphne, I'll join you And I'll even bring my new DVD player. At least we'll be able to do Cathe combos together. Now, who is going to indulge us with a stretch on the ball? That is what I REALLY want! Kristin P.S. My son just read this post, and his poor little 6 1/2 year old mind...

Congratulations! So glad that you had a fairly easy labor, as labors go. Evan is a beautiful name. Enjoy your new sweet little boy! Kristin

That's great! Wow! How did I miss this? I miss a couple of days on the forum and look what happens! Congratulations to you and Michelle. What a great time in your lives! Kristin
