Nothing worked for nausea for me! I try so many things even got some med from the doc (no clue about the name) but it did not worked.
I never tried the bracelet or lollipops but I don't think I could eat one back then. Plus it would be really hard to have a pop here because all the kids would like to take it from me, I sure the LO would cry for it. So I guess I can't even try that.

Flava, that is an adorable hugs picture!

I had sort of lingering nausea with dd that got worse as the day went on. I had to sip on Gingerale all during the day at work while teaching and so basically everybody figured out I was expecting even when I wasn't ready to tell! So happy I have a helper teacher coming in my room this year so if I ever finally get pregnant I will have some help! Last time for me the exhaustion was so bad! I actually fell asleep one day while the students were outside at break.

Is the shot better than the pills?

It is yes! xx

Well I started the pill today just to be sure of no accidents while trying to get fit!

So all my was different I can't look at it like it's a girl or a boy for sure because it's so different LOL.

What good is for you that you don't have other kids to take care of so sick. OMG now that's hard to do. All I wanted is to lay on the sofa and go sleep but I had to take care, make food ( yuck) and so on.

to you

Thanks Flava, yes having to take care of others makes it so much harder. I have custody of my niece and 2 nephews and my partner has a cast on her leg so she can't do much cleaning and so on. I'm lucky the kids are older and can make their own meals but they still look at me laying on the couch white as a ghost and ask "are you cooking us dinner tonight?". Umm no I am not lol. I will be calling my Ob this morning to see if they can give me something to ease it up a little, it's just unbearable.

Thanks girl!
Oh good idea about the pill, your luck you'd get pregnant while not even trying! haha. Seems you're doing well with the diet and exercise, I think once you get to your goal weight you'll be in a great frame of mind to start trying again

Jane - Congrats on the BFP!!

WashingtonP - ((hugs)) on AF arriving... I was able to increase the length of my LP by upping the amount of good fats I was getting (coconut oil, full-fat dairy, etc.)

Begonia - I really like the Hypnobabies program and I've used the CD's with my last two babies. I have done the Pink Kit and Hypnobabies for both and have been really pleased.

Lola - you know you're gonna get pregnant with a sweet little sticky baby ((hugs)) - and it will be worth the waiting <3

I am loving hearing about seeing heartbeats and little beans and feeling little flutters ladies!

Re Morning Sickness: I have found that the m/s doesn't seem to correlate with gender for me... it just seems to get worse with each baby lol. What worked best for me was taking time to eat (I ate slowly), eating very small bites, and I ate what sounded good to me (and had protein).

AAM - I am not happy right now... I think AF has returned and Honor is only 11 weeks old

I have never had a cycle earlier than 7 months. Honor is exclusively bf, takes no paci, sleeps with me, etc. The only thing I can figure is that she doesn't nurse long - only a few minutes at a time. But she does nurse really frequently (every hour or so at least). But I've been bleeding since Friday and it's pretty heavy, too. I started temping Sat morning. DH and I had decided not to TTA once my cycles started, but we both agree that we are NOT ready for another one yet... so we will use NFP/FAM for now if this is cycles.

I am really bummed as I still have like 25lbs of weight to lose from my pregnancy with Honor and I don't want to get pg while losing that. I also really want to let Honor be my baby for now - if I were to get pg my milk would dry up

I'm sort of in shock but can't think of any other reason for bleeding to have started

But my baby is only 11 weeks

LOL that is what hubby said! Yes can't wait to just get this weight off!

Hi ladies....

Lola: Sorry about AF....how you hanging in there? No testing for DH? Are you trying anything new this cycle? I know you don't have much room in your pill box

Begonia: Is your scan this week?

Alexis: You are close to O right? How is DH?

Not a whole lot going on with my cycle.....I should O late next week. We had a busy weekend with playdates and company. We also got up early Sat to pick figs at a friends house....hope they're boy friendly because I ate tons of them..

The few ladies on FF boy swaying board that got back to me had quit the boy diet to conceive!!! 2 or 3 said they had been TTCing for a long time (over a year). They kept up the supp, but dropped the diet....interesting. Do you guys think it could have the stress of it all? Extra weight? Who knows? I wish the rest of the ladies would respond.

Edited to say.... I think they were on the IG diet.

**begonia** · August 15th, 2011, 01:07 PM

WP Figs are very boy friendly, I believe! And delicious ... really I think any fruits/veg are great for TTC boy if you're going by the "more nutrients = boy" approach, which I buy into. I tried my best to stay away from "empty" foods. My scan is a week from Thursday! I'm super excited to see the bean again

Very interesting about the FF ladies. So they dropped IG diet but kept the supps. I wonder what their diet ended up being then? Hmmm. Mysterious ...

Lola are you back on the clomid yet this cycle? I saw Atomics post about the long term potential effects. I would definitely check that out with your doc and get her thoughts; I'd never heard that re: Clomid before, but I do trust Atomic's thoughts too.

TTC5 yay for birth control

I think it is SMART to do if you're not ready to get pg again!

Skrimpy that does seem very early for your cycle to return; FX it is not in fact AF. Though I don't know what else it could be? Have you talked to your doc yet about it? My DD2 nursed the same way ... frequent and fast. It drove me nuts. She's still that way though as a 2 y.o when it comes to food. Always wants just enough to last her an hour or two, LOL, never a big meal.

AFM this is our last week before school starts for DD1! So just trying to get in some good quality time and plan a couple fun things to do. I'm super excited for her; I really think she is going to love kindy
