Glad your eyes have a break :)Quote:

I wanted to pass this along to you- what my OB told me to do to try and ward it off.
Take 200mcg-1000mcg of chromium picolinate. Start by taking 200mcg twice a day and work up from there if need be. This helps to improve glucose tolerance, insulin resistance, and fasting blood glucose numbers.
Alpha Lipoic Acid- 100mg a day. This helps to increase the uptake of glucose.
Magnesium Glycinate- 400mg a day. This helps to improve insulin production when the pancreas may be lax like it is overnight. Also, this form of magnesium does NOT cause constipation. I use the powdered form by Swanson.
I am hoping by the time I do my first test at the 8 week mark, my numbers will be good. I have noticed my increased thirst, fatigue, and dizziness (blurred vision) is gone. I should add that my numbers have mostly been normal when I test (I have leftover testing supplies from DS2 pregnancy) BEFORE I took these supplements. I did have a few that were 1-5 points above normal on occasion. Due to my symptoms, my OB wants me to take them. I take the lowest dose of Chromium right now, but I am only 4.5 weeks.
You can PM me if you want [emoji6].

Cant do the chromium with some of my disabilities, and alpha lipoic makes me shed pounds like crazy! *hint hint for you ladies wanting to drop baby weight afterwards* I always forget about the chelated magnesium thanks for that reminder because the leg cramps are killing me and I dont dare eat any more bananas or any extra potassium supps!
Back from my scan. It's a boy. I am chocked. I feel empty, so sad and disappointed right now. I don't feel happy about this baby at all and even regret trying so soon after DS.
I also feel like an awful person for feeling this way when there are people who aren't able to have any children. [emoji22]
Oh happy I'm so sorry you didn't hear girl and your feeling sad! I can completely relate as felt the same with my DS2. I hope you can find happiness in time with you new baby boy growing in you! Sending virtual hugs your way :hugs:
Big HUGS happy! Sorry that you didnt hear girl, wishing you well!
I felt the same way with ds2, and can you believe that 8 years later, he's my soulmate? I swear that kid has been gold from day one! (He's also the boy in my siggy, though he was 5 back then).
Congrats on your beautiful boy. Vent, let out all your emotions - it's the first step to healing! Don't bash yourself. This is normal. Annoying and depressing as hell but normal! We all have dreams, and it sucks when things don't go the way you dreamed of. But it will be okay <3
Big hugs happy!! I know you feel sad now but I promise you that when he is here you will love him so much and he will be the perfect fit for you family. Also brothers are SO sweet. My two sons bring a big smile to my face every single day. They are going to be so close!!
Thank you so much ladies for your support. It means a lot and knowing so many of you have been through it and got passed it makes me feel better!
I'm trying to just come to terms with being a two boy mom and not putting my hopes to conceiving a third one that hopefully is a girl, I don't want to go through the GD a third time, because then it would be even worse. Also two children is more than enough for me, I never really saw myself having more and I don't want to have a third one just for the gender. I also don't want to do PGD, I don't think my mind and body would handle it.
So I've decided that all the money I was going to put on pink clothes I will save for myself and buy myself really nice things after delivery. Maybe hire a PT and get in the shape of my life! Hubby promised we would get me a new pair of breast after I finish BF if I want to, and I can get a female puppy! He's the best, he's being so understanding!
But for now I need to just grief a bit more
Happy- brothers are the best. They will be so close growing up. I have two older brothers and always felt jealous of their bond. My two sons are so close and adore each other. Plus they are very different personalities. Like chalk and cheese really. Once you are holding your sweet little boy in your arms your heart will fill with love and pride. I'm sure of it :)

Oh Happy I'm so sorry you didn't hear girl. I felt a lot of GD with my second girl, but, like a lot here have mentioned, she's MY baby now. Completely and totally my baby. She truly is my soulmate and I couldn't imagine life without her. I know you will feel the same for your lovely boy. I think getting a PT and getting into shape after he is here will make you feel loads better! Great idea!
I got back from my anatomy scan a little bit ago and everything looks good and he is still alllllllll boy:) The tech said, "well he sure isn't hiding anything there" then when the OB came in, she tried to cover the screen because she didn't know if we wanted to know! LOL I said it's fine, and she said he is definitely a boy and we left smiling from ear to ear.
I'm so sorry happy. Hoping you find peace and a good mood :)

sorry about your GD happy no need to feel bad we've all been through it! They will have such a spectacular bond as brothers!
Happy, my heart is with you. I agree about the brother bond...It's just amazing. And I've felt what you're feeling and I just hope that you can get through this hard part because the rest will be just wonderful. Big hugs and love your way.
Sending you love and strength happy. It isn't easy going through what you are now. I know it's easy for me to say but, you will get through it. I have been there before. Try not to be hard on yourself.
Thank you so much ladies! Your support brings tears to my eyes!
Happy I know exactly how you feel it will take time hun your feelings are completely normal .....I seem to be a joke now 6 fricking boys if I didn't laugh I'd cry (well I did) here when you need to ventQuote:

Welcome Shan! Sorry to hear about your ID girls but pleased your boy is doing well.

Just last night, my ds1 was helping ds2 read his Tashi book (it's a kids chapter book). Ds2 always has trouble reading and I just thought I should share how sweet and close they are as brothers. They fight and beat the crap out of each other and play videogames or Lego's the next.
My ds2 especially is just amazing! I have never had a more considerate caring boy in my life. He has humbled me beyond belief.
Boys are great! When I think about how bad my gd was once, I look at my two beautiful sons and think 'wow, did I really feel that way? These two crazy boys are damn awesome' :)
Myloves
How nice of you to think of me and and thank you for sharing that!
The GD is actually a lot better today. Two days ago I was in a very very dark place and I'm scared to even tell you ladies the thoughts I had. I actually didn't think my GD would be that strong but it really felt like someone died. Thinking back to the moment the tech at the scan pointed out the boy bits made feel like I was in a nightmare. I just refused to believe it.
I'm starting to slowly accept it and today I haven't cried at all.
My hubby has been amazing. I opened up to him completely about the thoughts I've been having and he hasn't judged me or gotten upset at all. I actually did start thinking that I might be open for a third child and I might consider HT then. I never thought my DH would agree to that but he has said that he is willing to do it if we decide we want to conceive again. All of these things are giving me hope and I feel so grateful to have such an amazing husband and beautiful family.
You girls have been such great support and I'm so moved by all your sweet posts! Thank you! [emoji175]

Got my anatomy scan today. Hoping all is ok with baby and looking forward to seeing her again although Feeling a bit nervous and just want them to confirm my baby is still a girl.
Good luck today Ugee! I ask at every U/S lol...
AFM I have my Anatomy scan also, I feel like I am only feeling baby B and not A so I didnt sleep much as at all and woke up way too early because I am super nervous. I know its common early on to only feel one baby especially since Im 21 weeks but Im still worried. I was feeling both up until about this last week. Cant wait to see them and hear the tech say they look great!
All was good at the scan and baby GIRL :) was happy and healthy! Really feel like I can accept she really is a she now!
How did you get on missxo? Hope both babies were ok. I bet baby A has been hiding behind baby B!?
Thats great Ugee!
My appointment isnt for another 2hrs :( I hope its just he is hiding on me, or I am feeling both and dont realize it.
Miss - I feel baby girl tons more than baby boy but I think it's just the positions they have settled into. Mine are transverse with baby girl on top. How are yours positioned?
Hope everything is ok missxo?
