TTC/ Post-Miscarriage Support 1-4-08

Bethany- Yes I am still tracking my temps. They are the most normal I have ever seen them....strange. They used to be all over the place but lately they have stayed within a few degrees of each other. I have been such a horn dog this weekend (thanks Melanie, it must have rubbed off on me!) so I am hoping that means I will O soon. DH loves the new me! :) We have agreed though that we are not going to try this cycle just make sure everything is ok. We talked about it and we can't bear to go through another m/c so soon. I don't think its the stress of the m/c and more that my hormones just have to get back to normal and everything in working order.

Well I broke down and bought 4 more CC! I can't wait to try them. I think I have actually DH into buying me another MP3 player that holds more so I can put more than two CC on my MP3 player. I want to create my own workouts by doing different bits of each volume. I still haven't received my Amy Bento workouts yet. Hopefully tomorrow.

Well after a slow start I have gotten my floors cleaned and even cleaned my workout room. DH is working on our new front door so its a nice relaxing Sunday. Now if I can just figure out what to do for dinner.....

Oh man. We went all out again last night. I hope I"m not scaring DH,..but I've went and got myself all demanding, "Do this, not this, yes this. more." I won't get anymore graphic,....but I'm really enjoying myself. I was even inspiried to do some creative shaving. TMI?

It's really too bad that I"m not in my fertilie period. AF is due this coming week. I"m so eager to get onto the next cycle.

I"m all set with my Clomid & my new Clearblue ovulation meter. I hope to have a very productive Feb. :) :) Let's see here,...a November baby?... Hee Hee

Jen, I'm glad you're having fun too. Are you using condoms then?

I'm off to workout. I think Imax3 today,....

Bethany,....I missed some news I think. Why were you trying to get into your ob/gyn? R U worried about your periods?
 
Jen, you won't regret getting the additional CC's! I'm having a blast with them. I did CC 1 today with Core Max 1. I finished Cathe's 1st week of the January rotation. I just made Tuesday my rest day so I did Tuesdays workout today. So far so good, even with my bum elbow and knee.:p

Melanie, a November baby sounds like a plan! Wouldn't it be something if Jen and I got pregnant next month, too?:)

I'm going to the OB bc I'm concerned about my lack of periods. If it's due to something I could have control over like diet or exercise, great. If it's due to a thyroid or hormonal thing, then I'd like to know. If it's simply just a wait-and-see situation for my cycles to come back after breastfeeding, then...okay. Like Jen said - hopefully I will get some answers. Honestly though, I'm having a really tough time being patient about this whole thing. I wish I could be fertile and start trying for a baby!!! Okay, enough whining.:p

How are you feeling, Lainie?
 
Bethany, sounds like a good plan with the ob/gyn. Are you temping or using ovulation kits? It'd help you decipher if you are ovulating or not. i'm sure you already know that though,...especially if you have TCOYF book.

We could start a Fall-Due Date check in!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Laine, have you abandoned us & gone to the pregnancy check-ins?!?!?!?! :p:p
 
Melanie-no, Im not on facebook. I had an account but with school just didnt have time to keep it up. I was thinking of trying it again now that my load is much lighter. Got a drug question for you. You know I had neck surgery over the summer, right. Well I have been having some pain here and there and my surgeon suggested I take Advil or Aleeve. I LOVE Advil and know it helps, but have been avoiding it while TTC. My days of ttc are about over.._( a couple more months probably). Anyway, Dr wanted me to take it daily for a few weeks, take a week off and then take it again. HE didnt seem a bit concerned of long term use. How much is too much. And is Aleeve a better choice? I won't take either on while TTC though...Ive just been putting up with the aches I have.
Way to go on the great sex!!

Bethany-It's probably just your body working itselt out, but it would make me feel better to get a dr to check it out also.
AF arrived as scheduled the other day.
 
Susan, I"m sorry about TTC. My rule while TTC is not to change my lifestyle until I find out that I am pg. With TTC for 3 years now,....it just doesn't seem right. You'll know quickly upon pg,...then make your lifestyle changes. NSAIDs (ibuprofen & naproxen) should not be taken in 3rd trimester.

Okay, Aleve (naproxen) is a 12 hour medicine max dosing is 550mg every 12 yours. Ibuprofen is 6-8 hour medicine, max dose is 800mg every 6 hrs (most people don't need more than 800mg every 8 hrs). My anti-inflammatory of choice is ibuprofen. :)

Hope that helps.
