Taking a whole bottle of miralax and overdose of ducolax is actually not good, but has to be done! I don't know how the herbal one works.. but maybe there's something to a colon cleanse and removing all the toxins.
I do recommend a thyroid test for all though!!!!

Lol well I tested for thyroids & everything is fine! & oopsy didn't know u said don't go coco bananas with that stuff but I DO need to relax I've been so neurotic & just erratic :hair: I'm scaring my hunny hmm I'm scaring me too :nails:
I do need to cleanse my system though because as a kid my mom used to make me drink the Epsom salt laxative which led to my gorgeous pimple free perfect skin in my teenage years and now I'm suffering because I can play connect the dots on my face & cleaning your system out can never be a bad thing right?

Everyone kept asking the most dreaded questions for TTC couples "when are you gonna have babies?" "what's taking so long!?"
Well sometimes we ask ourselves that and we don't want to hear it from the people we love most also and then his mom kept asking our blood types..(yeah she forgot his! He's the youngest of 3 boys and Its been year since shes had to remember his blood type.) Well he asked me to research what blood types have trouble and the 1st I saw was women with type O have trouble TTC and I freak and even came across having too high of FSH and notice wheatgrass and Ginger root is said to lower it. I see wheatgrass is used by those TTC blue but what about ginger root? Thursday I will test my FSH and too low wouldn't be a bad thing would it?? I am also going to purchase a colon cleanse because a friend told me after 2 years she did and herbal colon cleanse and then conceived and blames it on the cleanse.

But that's NOT what the study really even says. Most women have NO trouble conceiving. They studied the tiny group of women who have had trouble conceiving and slightly more of them had type O blood than Type A or B. That is probably due to genetics (since most people of similar blood types have similar ethnic heritage) and is TOTALLY a coincidence - probably something like, more Type O's have PCOS and since women with PCOS have more trouble conceiving, they go to fertility treatments more often. But the Type O blood type most likely has nothing to do with it, it's almost certianly just a coincidence. Like I said before, I have 5 kids and Type O, my sister has Type O, my mom and MIL and stepmom all have Type O and none of us had any trouble conceiving.

If you're having your FSH tested, please don't do anything unnatural to try to lower it before testing. YOu NEED that information to be accurate.

I will have that tested later I guess but I am going to have a hysterogram in which I'm nervous about. My doctor told me there's only 3 reasons left well 2 because she ruled out me ovulating but it's hunnys swimmers :bluesperm::pinksperm: or my tubes and I'm hoping it's neither but I might even be tracking ovulation incorrectly

I just wanted to let you ladies know that I have an appt for an u/s at a high risk clinic on May 7th! :)
They wanted to wait a week so they could possibly find a heartbeat. I'm SO excited!

The light brown cm returned but no fresh blood...

Good luck with your appointments ladies!!!

Ladies, I just wanted to tell you all that my bleeding, spotting, and then brown cm has STOPPED! Not a trace remains, even after making love last night to poor DH! Gosh, the last day was the 17th! I just didn't want to take any chances that I could lose what I worked so HARD for!

Hallelujah! I'm going in on Monday to get my blood drawn again though, just for my peace of mind!
Thanks for all the love, and concern and support you wonderful ladies have given me. I will keep you updated!

Well ladies it seems I spoke too soon. I started spotting again and this time I didn't waste time, I went to the ER.
They did an iv, hcg bloodwork, an ultasound, and transvaginal ultrasound, pelvic exam, and a rhogam shot.

NOT a fun trip. I've never had a transvaginal and OMG it hurts like hell when they look for your ovaries.
I am now cramping and I am not happy about it. Can anyone please tell me if you have had cramping after a TV ultrasound? And or... pelvic?

They found one sac of fluid, but they aren't sure if it's the gestational sac being it's so early, they think I am behind 5 weeks. Even saying that my bleeding is probably from implantation!
My hcg today was 500
and last week I "think" it was at 48
So anyways..When the doc did the pelvic he didn't see any blood at all.
Things look good. I just need to chill out! LOL but I'm kinda stressing over these crampies.

Yes, several people (a lot of the HT girls have to have transvag u/s) have cramping and even spotting afterwards.

Hmmm...praying for your pg - I don't like that you seem so much further behind that you were expecting, but it is good that HCG is rising.

Oh and if you're ovulating and egg quality seems good, then that means that any of the types of fertility issues that ~might~ be related to blood type are probably ruled out anyway.
