TTC Check-In Sept 23

Welcome Kristan! I have 3 kids as well, pushing the mid-30s age as well. I also seem to have a short cycle, menses happening about every 24 days. My oldest is 13, youngest will be 2 next month. :)

Morris, I would probably not take a herbal supplement while pregnant...or if I did it would have to be scientifically studied in pg women (which is unlikely).

Besides taking my prenatal vitamin, I try not to live my life around TCC. It took us almost a year to get pg the first time, over 6 mos the 2nd time...it's just too exhausting to live my life as if I'm pg...then the 9 actual mos of pg...then the 1+ year of nursing. With that said, I will continue the supplement unless I feel pg, or test positive. Does that sound selfish? I think I paid about $15 for 180 capsules (have taken about 4/day). It I haven't had chocolate in TWO days)!! Ya'll know my weak spot...MOUNTAIN DEW. ;)

I'm so wordy this week! Sorry!

Morris - No real signs or symptoms. Just waiting it out.

Melanie - I know what you mean about the whole live like you're pg when TTC, but I also have said I'll stop when I suspect or know. I'll have that glass of wine until I know for sure that I'm pg. Although, I try to be cautious when I can, but not live by a hard and fast rule about it.

Been a rough day today. My boss told me that his dr's think he might have ms. He'll find out next week after getting results from his bloodwork. That and my ds had a difficult day in school today. Life is just rough sometimes! I'm trying to stay positive and hopeful and put my faith and trust in God. I just have to remind myself of that.

hi lisa - i am sorry your day was so difficult. hope ds has a better day at school and your boss gets some good news.

melanie, i know what you mean about putting your life on hold. the main thing i have done is eliminate caffine during the ttc period (other than chocolate)! but, you definately cannot live your life for what you hope.

okay, confession time. i had an awful day eating yesterday. too much stress at work, and a client brought in all kinds of mini candy bars. i ate wayyyyy too many. so, today will be a chocolate free day for me, and i am super motivated (again). actually, not that motivated, but if i repeat that enough, it may become truex( x(

hope everyone has a great friday. anyone want to joing me on my chocolate free day???
 
I'm sorry Lisa about AF, and your tough day. :( Was today better?

I had some chocolate today. Then I took a Crave-Curb tablet this evening and turned down more chocolate. I think it does help.

Anyone going to do partial fast with me on Monday? My goal is 14 days no simple carbs. Oh, I found my book. I"ve been reading it, but not sure if I"ll follow detox diet yet.
