Lola I am SO HAPPY :-) YAY for that BFP and it looks like an amazing sway! I started EPO too and am wondering how much you took and when? I've been doing 1000 mg AF to O.

Yep, I did the recommended amounts of all (some I listed) but yes, 1000 mg of EPO. This was the combination of supps that my body finally liked!

Thanks, girls....I am slowly getting on pins and needles already about gender, but trying to remain calm!

I so know what you mean about finding a combination that works for your body!! I have had a mmc and a chem pg in the last 4 months and am convinced that it is beacuse my body is messed up with all these different supplements and dietary restrictions etc. Am taking a much more relaxed approach for my next attempt and relying on the theory that anything that increases fertility sways blue (as well as copious amounts of salted foods and meat and potatoes!), I actually feel better now that I have included dairy in my diet.

That looks like a really good sway Lola, so you are going to find out the gender?? Here's hoping it's a snug little blue bean in there!

[LolaInLove]

Thanks, tropicgal! I hope you find a good combo. I did feel so much better once I added dairy foods back into my diet. So sorry to hear about your m/c! FX you'll get your bfp soon!

I will indeed find out the gender, either at CVS if I need it or later at the big u/s at 20wks. Nervous about it, for sure!

[LauraInTexas]

This looks great---good luck!

[boyjoy]

Lola, This is a great sway FX for a blue bundle!:ttcboy::agree::luck:

[LolaInLove]

Just posting....this ended in M/C as a blighted ovum at 8.5 weeks. Back on the swaying bandwagon!
