I hope to join you there! Give me a week so I know for sure that I am! *fingers crossed* Things are looking hopeful, though. It would be a wonderful bunch to be in a due date group with. :)

????Antibiotics CAUSE thrush and yeast infections. You want PRObiotics and they'll help prevent thrush and YI.

Taking probiotics while on antibiotics don't gain you anything, because antibiotics kill bacteria, both good and bad. So the probiotics weren't doing anything for you.

Yes, yesterday... and then my temp went straight back up today! I was 8dpo yesterday! So, good timing, right??

This morning when I half-awake took my temp, I waited in great anticipation for the beep so I could see if my temp went straight back up... it did! :D

Interesting! I wonder if that was a factor in me having 3 boys!

Any safe stool softeners during pregnancy. I hate this! :(

Straining brings back scanty spotting!

You can use docusate safely during pregnancy. If you aren't really suffering from nausea, eat anything with heavy fiber content: grapes, apples, plumbs, shredded weight, beans, broccoli, green and red leaf lettuce, etc. Have hot soup (not high in fiber, but hot liquid can encourage your intestines to stop being so lazy). Make sure you aren't getting too much iron from your prenatal vitamin. Avoid bananas. The progesterone can cause constipation, too.

I have heard of probiotics causing a yeast infection. Yeast infections can happen when any of the good bacteria is imbalanced, either too much or too little.
