I am one of those people who HAS to eat every couple of hours (at least) or I become ... ummm ... *grumpy*. DH stocks the house, his pockets, the car, etc. with food and always leaves a container of homeade granola bars (Alton Brown's recipe) on the counter. I usually stumble over to them and...

I had this happen to me about 5 years ago. My first pap had some strange squamous cells in it (nothing definitive - not normal or abnormal, just something slightly off, if that makes any sense). So they had me come back in a few months just to make sure that I didn't have hpv or something else...

Hi Carol, I am starting to do the same thing - I build muscle very easily and am realizing that my legs and butt are very muscular - but too big for many of my clothes now! In my quest to figure this out, I did the Legs and Glutes Extreme premix today with very light and no weight. It was a...

Hi Lee, I use an ancient laptop (good for nothing but surfing and dvd's) to play all of my workouts on - never the tv/dvd because I like the portability of the laptop. I too had this problem before (on what was then a new laptop) and found that switching to InterVideo WinDVD 4 did the trick...

Hi thinkgod, I don't have bad knees exaclty - more like "sensitive" knees, with potential for going bad. I used to run but stopped so that my knees would be ok - then I went to a recumbant bike for years - which I still use occasionally. Then I went to swimming - I LOVE swimming. (I used to...

Hi Marie, I used to travel all the time and use my laptop, too. In fact,I got so used to doing that, that I never use my tv for working out. I like being able to do my workout in the foyer/dining room where there's more room but no tv - so it's been just the laptop for over a year :)...

Hello there :) I really got "lucky" and didn't have to have a d&c. I came home from my pre-op appointment yesterday and decided to be active, even though I wasn't feeling great. I vacuumed, steam cleaned the floors, and did the Muscle Max upper body pre-mix. Well, I started cramping and...

Well, now that I have a date with my dr, and have heard your story and Jenni's, I am feeling much better. I checked out the TCOYF forum and it has helped as well (although I think that so far, I can identify more closely with your story - except for your previous little one!). Last time my...

Wow, Tina - you had to wait for another appointment until 12 weeks! I think I would have gone out of my mind (and driven DH out of his). Yes, TCOYF is wonderful - it has been my TTC map - but I didn't know about their boards, I will certainly be checking them out. My d&c is scheduled for...

Jenni, Thanks for your words of encouragement - and congratulations on TWINS! It is so good to hear success stories ... I'm going to call now and schedule my d&c. I will be thinking about your story and Tina's story a lot. It is one thing to have my dr (who is great) say that lots of people...

Well, here goes :) I am Korean, German, Scottish, Irish, Cherokee, Chicasaw, and Russian. I am supposedly a descendant of Pocahontas according to my grandfather's geneological records (but on the European side, since she was a Powhatan). and I think that an Aremenian DAR sounds much more...

Tina, Thanks so much for sharing your story. You have no idea how much better it makes me feel :) I am trying really hard not to completely freak out and start thinking that I'm just going to miscarry again and again with no explanation, and therefore no preventative steps to take. At...

Hello ladies, I went in to the dr last friday b/c of a small spot - thinking it was nothing b/c I'd had a great us at 6 weeks. On friday I was supposed to be 8 weeks, but apprently the baby hadn't grown since the first us. I go in this afternoon to verify it, but my dr thinks i am going to...

Yes, I hope everybody had a fine long weekend :) Last week during/after my spottingscare, my workouts slowed down a bit ... but here they are: sun - body max mon - spotting! tues - elliptical 35 min wed - legs & glutes; ab hits 10 min thurs - pregnancy yoga fri - ps back biceps, abs...

Hi CG, I hope that you are able to get back on your feet (or your foot) soon. Hang in there and keep doing what you can ... One of my best friends used to be a professional ballet dancer who had horrible bunions. When they were remobed, and when she had other surgeries, the thing that helped...

Ab work is fine at least until the 3rd or 4th month, then some me women have problems with the weight of the uterus suppressing flow in the vena cava (less oxygen to baby, and then to mom = dizzy mom). Some women do not have this problem. Do a search for "Ab work" - there's a recent thread in...

Thanks, Catherine :) arancini

I was the same way ... and it took me 7 months after my miscarriage to conceive again - I hope you will be successful sooner. I about drove dh crazy the last 2 weeks of every month. I used to do cathe's back to back to keep my mind off of it and make me sleep better :) other than that, all i...

BTW - It actually took me 10 days past ovulation to get a positive test. My doc said this was pretty early (and my urine test at her office was actually neg the day after my home test - but the blood was +). Here's a site that compares tests and their levels...

I totally know how you feel - I just conceived 7 weeks ago and the 2 weeks after ovulating were like waiting for xmas ... over and over again! basically, it depends on when you ovulated. The most sensitive tests pick up a reading of 20 for hcg. Since your # doubles roughly every day after...
