Fantasy Feb 2016 TTC

Quinn I really think you're pregnant!! :D Can't wait for your blood test results! :bluecheer:

Good luck Farmgirl and Princess Mom!

I hope AF arrives soon Magical. Sorry it's so frustrating for you. :(

I'm sorry you're not feeling well Maiden. AF is never any fun. I hope you're able to get some relief soon.

So I have my RE appointment next week and I'm a little nervous! Quick question: how do I explain to the RE why I'm not taking prenatal vitamins? I'm afraid of getting scolded for not taking them when I've had three losses but I don't exactly want to say I'm swaying either.

Wow Quinn that's a BFP huge congratulations!!

Maiden interesting parsley tea, I might give that a try I'm willing to try anything at the moment!! I hope AF eases up soon.

Farmgirl happy bedding!

Swaying or not I believe atomic still says you must take folate. I don't think that will effect your sway. [emoji5]

Ksmom, mine didn't ask if I was taking vitamins. I think they just assume you are. And, like magical said, you need to take folate. If you think it might be causing your miscarriages you could try adding in a vitamin 3 days a week. How long have you been swaying again? (sorry for my crappy memory)

I'm taking folate, iodine, and iron so I'm not avoiding vitamins completely. I guess I'm just worried about the doctor asking why I'm not taking a prenatal vitamin if I'm actively TTC.

I've been swaying since May last year. I had been taking 800 mcg folic acid but after my first loss, Atomic said to take 1600 mcg then after the second loss, she had me take 2000 mcg folate which I've been on since December. I wouldn't be surprised if I have vitamin deficiencies from doing LE for so long especially since I'm vegetarian.

Pbn3, I agree it's good that Lauren's latest two FR OPKs match the pink OPKs in terms of results, but that doesn't mean that any earlier pink OPKs weren't false positives. I just want to make it very clear that I don't consider that pink brand (Answer/big drugstore generic) trustworthy. I've seen the vast majority of women get days and days of false positives and/or very dark identical second lines. They don't reflect differences in LH level well at all. I also want to drive home the point that you can get the same result from different brands one day but not the next. This is especially true when LH levels are very high, as that will always yield a positive result. I hope that all makes sense! I have used every OPK I could get a hold of both here and in the US and seen hundreds of women use a variety of brands and it is amazing how much OPK sensitivity, reliability and accuracy can vary.

ksmom, thanks. <3 Like Momamia said, you probably won't be asked if you're taking vitamins, it will be assumed that you are. If they outright ask, you could either lie or say you haven't been goid about taking them (not a lie) and ask to have your B12, iron/ferritin, and vitamin D levels tested, those being your most likely deficiencies. Do you eat many or any fortified foods? In the US, most wheat-based foods are fortified to some extent.

Maiden- I do have very very mild pcos. How does that change the diet?
I do cardio 5 days a week for an hour or more. Will pcos effect Clomid potential or make me O later?

Maiden, I don't eat any fortified foods. I have celiac so eating gluten free means a lot of rice based pastas and breads that don't have any added vitamins. I guess telling them I do take prenatals but not regularly isn't really a lie because with each loss, I took prenatal vitamins for the brief times I was pregnant.
