November 2013 babies!

I don't plan on doing the dates. I will be starting 5W formula at 35 weeks and EPO at 36 weeks.

I have epo there but I'm not sure if I want to use it, I've heard it can be a blood thinner.

From everything I have heard from my MW and read online. EPO isn't a blood thinner. It does state that if you take blood thinners or BP medications not to use it. BUT not that it actually contains thinners. I will have to ask about this at my apt next week, but I am pretty sure on that one.

All essential fatty acids thin the blood. Things do not need to contain added blood thinners in order to act as blood thinners. The reason why they say not to take it with blood thinners is because it will thin your blood even more so and put you at higher risk of serious bleeding, even death.

is this it Atomic? Thanks for your input.

I was only planning on inserting it vaginally anyway, but maybe I'll just stock with sex (I know my DH will be happy about that)

For EPO I usually use it both orally and vaginally, but this time since I will already be taking the 5W I am just doing it vaginally. I have never had problems with bleeding, but if it is a problem the 5W should help with that. In the 3 pregnancies I have used it, I have seen great results with it. Some people it works for, some now. Just have to decide if it is the right thing for you. I am taking it with the supervision and support of my MW, so I feel comfortable using both of them.

Last night I was feeling around, trying to determine how Rozline is sitting. I feel a round lump down low and one up high... They both feel like heads, so can't decide if she is head up or down. As a joke I told my husband, if I didn't know better I would say that was 2 heads! lol. I know its not, but still! He said he would totally die if our one SURPRISE turned into 2! LOL. I did this right before we went to bed last night. Well ended up having a dream last night. I was in labor, but apparently father along then I thought. I was delivering in my bathroom (I have had so many dreams that I will deliver at home!!). Well I delivered the baby and was waiting for EMT to show up and felt the urge to push again. I was thinking it was the placenta, NOPE out pops another head!! So When they get there I am sitting with not one but two babies!! I woke up shortly after. Holy crap! lol Odd dreams.

Science does not support the use of EPO in pregnancy. I just want you guys to be safe. I had bad results with oral EPO and the studies show worse pregnancy outcomes while using it. Evening primrose oil: “Don

I didn't even know what you guys were talking about with EPO. The only EPO I have heard of is a performance enhancing drug. I think I will skip it. I never used anything the first time and he came right on time? Am I naive to hope for the same with my 2nd?

Zem, that is an awesome dream. I, meanwhile, dreamt last night that Prince Harry asked me out!! I was so excited and then my alarm went off. Booo.

I went back to yoga today after not going for months. Dang my hips were tight. It was ridiculous. I feel so much better now. I should have never stopped going. I just skipped anything that was too much for me and it was fine.

One more thing, Atomic I love when you drop in on us with your advice! (I hope this does not sound factitious, I 100% love it!)

It's like you are the all knowing, all seeing Wizard of Oz!
