Hmmm ... the only thing I can think of is an evaporation line. Did you wait longer than the recommended time before reading the test? Sometimes you will get a faint line if you wait too long ... During the time I was ttc, I was a testing maniac and have been through all kinds of "what if?"...

Hello there, I agree with the other posts - just try to eat clean and and stay active without going crazy. I feel your pain about not losing the weight after miscarrying though. I had 2 miscarriages prior to this pregnancy (my first child due in Nov.) and with each one I gained about 10-15...

Wow Chrissy - Congratulations!!! Ella sounds adorable. It also sounds like you had a dream delivery (40 minutes of pushing - I hope I am that lucky!). Enjoy your new daughter and keep us posted until we can join you on the post-partum thread :) Take care, arancini

Hello there, I would have to agree with Pippa. Although it could be nothing, I would contact my doctor immediately - if for no other reason than to (hopefully) have some peace of mind. My 2 miscarriages started the same way. If you are spotting red/pink call ASAP, especially if you are...

Hello Fellow Pregos! Yes, Manmohini, it looks like 3 of us are going to have November babies :) I think Steph is due first (date?), then you and I are pretty close together. My due date is somewhere between the 20th and 24th. According to my luteal phase, I should be due closer to the...

Hey gang, Chrissy - has your status changed yet? I'll keep my fingers crossed for you :) Suzette - I find that any kind of exercise makes me feel much better - even when I am queasy. Good luck restarting a routine! Take care, everybody. arancini

Hello Everybody, Well, DH and I survived our move - although it is far from truly over (we are prepping the other house to sell and still getting stuff out of storage). I'm just glad it's over and I have some time before Nico comes in Nov. It looks like everybody is hanging in there ...

Steph - Congratulations on Sproutina! It's so exciting to know, isn't it? For me, it made the little guy jumping around inside more real. The housing market is getting ready for its seasonal shift right now, so that may or may not make things easier for you :) Apparently, everybody is...

Hey gang, Sounds like everybody's doing well :) I've decided that getting ready to move is a sport in and of itself - especially if you're 6 months prego. I've been good about still getting in my 5-6 workouts a week, but haven't done anyhting in 2 days ... the first one was a rest day (we...

I am so sorry for your loss. But most importantly, as the previous posters have said, you are NOT a failure. Miscarriages are completely beyond anyone's control. I miscarried twice before this pregnancy - the first time I had a blighted ovum with no D & C, the second I was scheduled for a D &...

Hey gang, I've been remiss in posting at the weekly check-ins - but hopefully things will settle down enough now for me to keep up :) DH and I are getting ready to move - so I do all the packing, he does all of the really heavy lifting. I'm just about 23 weeks now and this month has been a...

Hi there, Just in case you stop in at the forums again - I'm sending you a big (((HUG))). I know what you're going through - I had 2 miscarriages before this pregnancy. The waiting is the worst ... you feel like you can't move on AND you are expecting the painful experience of the physical...

I forget the actual ratios, but if your stomach can take it a good tea to make is one with ginger, red pepper, garlic, honey, and lemon. You could google it - it's called cyclone cider. The ginger and pepper especially will help with the cold ... but this mix may not be for you if you have any...

Hi CG, How is the birth plan going? I became really close to my doc while ttc (the first 2 didn't stick - just bad luck), so I'm not going to have a midwife. I'll be delivering at a birth center attached to a hospital - so it may be the best of both worlds. I can't quite decide on whether...

Hi CG, I am not quite as far along as you are - I'm a tad over 19 weeks - but I do the moves where you're on your back. My doc said that if you're exercising being on your back for 20 minutes is okay (unless you feel yucky, of course). I do the moves straight through w/no problem, but if...

Hi Calee, I was on Clomid for the last 2 months before I conceived. I took it days 3-7, some people are told to take it 5-9 (it may depend on the length of your cycles, or what dose you are starting with). I was on the lowest dose for both months ... usually you gradually get bumped up...

Hey CurlyQ, Congratulations! I agree with the pp ... go and have a good time. You may actually become MORE tired as things progress, so enjoy hanging out while you can - before you start falling asleep every time you sit down :) I have had 2 losses (I am now 4 months along w/my first kiddo)...

Hurray! Congratulations :) I'm sure she's very happy, too. arancini

Yay - sounds like you are on the right track! Yeah, try placing the can (or something that size) against the back wall of the trap. If that doesn't work, up the ante and use a clothes pin to attach a piece of bacon/other yummy thing to the plate itself. Also, most traps can be set on a hair...

Hi eminenz, I really hope you are able to find your kitty. I do a lot of cat trapping/rescue and sometimes indoor kitties get lost and revert back to a feral state. The problem is that they haven't marked anything around the house with their scent, so they can be lost even 10 feet from your...
