    I have to cancel :(

    I had to have a inguinal hernia repair last week and can't lift anything for 6 weeks. I am so bummed!!! This would've been my 5th road trip and 2nd time in Daytona. I wish the cancellation policy wasn't so absolute :( I hope everyone has a wonderful time and I will be watching for all the...

    shuttle bus, other info

    I can't find the info about where to go in the airport and which number to call for the shuttle bus. I thought there was something posted in the past about it - like a few years ago when I attended the Glassboro trip. It's been awhile since my last RT and I'm feeling super nervous!:o

    Failed 1 hr glucose tolerance test

    I recently found out that I failed my 1 hr glucose test and was so surprised. Now I'm scheduled for the 3 hr test next Tuesday, and I can't help but stress out. I had gained 10 lbs total at my 25 week appt, which put me at 105 lbs, and I'm still exercising with Cathe (though not nearly the...

    Rapid Rover

    Sorry if I missed this somewhere, but does anyone have the info about when we need to call Rapid Rover to reserve a ride from/to the airport? I remember it being something like 24 hrs in advance last year, but I'm not sure. TIA!

    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...

    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...

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

    Yesterday I noticed pain in my right side, the side that always hurts when I ovulate. It got worse and this morning when I woke up I started bleeding. I took a digital test again and it actually said "not pregnant." So my OB advised me to go to the ER, where they did the blood test. I only have...

    How many days post ovulation did you wait to test?

    Just curious how many DPO you all have waited to take a test. Each day is like AGONY!:p

    I'm getting LASIK today!

    I'm so excited - this is something I've wanted to do for years. Anyone else had the surgery? What was your recovery time? And, most importantly, how long did you wait (if at all) to start working out?:p

    Luteal Phase Defect?

    I have a suspicision that I have a LPD. After taking 3 months of birth control due to the complete absence of periods, I've had 2 cycles. Though it appears that I DO ovulate, I only had 7 and 9 day Luteal Phases before bleeding, and my post-ovulatory temps weren't that high. I've got an...

    I just started STS and I'm already exhausted! Help!

    So I started my first round of STS on Monday and I'm doing Cathe's cardio suggestions in between. On yesterday's workout (disc 2) I couldn't keep up with my 1 RM target weights by the end of the session and REALLY struggled to finish the reps. I feel like such a wimp!!! I guess my body is used...

    starting periods again after breastfeeding

    Is it normal to have some irregularity at first? I finally had a period November 2nd but haven't had one since. It's so frustrating because we're trying to get pregnant.:mad: If this is to be expected, then I'll try not to worry. If it isn't...then I think I'll call my OB. My last negative...

    Sugar Addict

    "Hi, my name is Bethany, and I'm addicted to sugar." :) I need to eat at least every two hours in order to avoid my blood sugar crashing, and most of my food choices are proteins or fibers to keep things on an even keel. My problem is, if I don't have some form of refined sugar each day, I get...

    more nursing woes...

    So, it looks as if I'm going to have to stop nursing soon. Within the last month I went from pumping ~20 oz at work to ~10-12. Taylor is needing more and more, and I'm producing less and less (she's been drinking about 18oz during the 11 hrs she's at daycare, plus a 2 oz jar of veggies). The...

    Treadmill recommendations?

    I'm looking to buy a treadmill. Ideally I'd want it to go up to 12 mph, more than 1.5 hp motor, and be able to fold up. Price isn't too much of an issue if it has a good warrenty and will last me for awhile. I've just done a tiny bit of research, but it seems as though websites are just...

    getting pregnant while breastfeeding?

    My husband and I are ready for another baby...but I'm still breastfeeding. I've read that the chances of getting pregnant are only 1-2% if the baby is younger than 6 months and the mother is exclusively nursing (Taylor is 4.5 months). We're actually starting a few other things like rice cereal...

    milk production

    Since I started working again 2 weeks ago, my milk production seems to have decreased. I can't seem to pump and save as much as she needs at daycare. Taylor is almost 13 weeks old, and I'd love to be able to breastfeed for at least 6 months to a year. My Avent pump was terrible, so I finally...
