Update Tink! Update!

I think the showers are awesome, Iluv, and sweet that your friends want to do that for you. If you have all that you feel you need perhaps just have a no-gift baby celebration? I hosted a "sip and see" for a friend who had her 2nd child, where you do it after the baby is born (her babe was 2 months old) and people didn't bring gifts, just came to celebrate and meet the little one. It was really fun!

There is always stuff that I could use so I'll have to play it by ear. It used to be a big no no but now lots of people have multiple showers.

Need some help/info

Has anyone found their O to come early while taking B6 50mg or in a B-complex??

I have a LP of 11 days which is borderline but i have long cycles...I O only after cd23 and as late as cd40. I heard that too much estrogen can delay O and also estrogen build up reduces progesterone production.
B6 can help and so i am planning to take it. Was concerned abt it being girl supp.But seems that it should be OK now.

Anyone with a Boy sway or Boy moms who took B6 or B-complex and good results?

Well they want to run more tests. He said it sounded like an SVT attack which is found in kids...so I was confused. My 3 year niece has SVT and she is suppose to grow out of it...if not she will have to has sugery. Apparently the way i explained it is the exact symptoms and he said adults can get it. SO they want me to wear a heart monitor to see if it happens again and they can find a definite reason why I was sure I was going to die last night. I know the differece between anxiety and not..this was not anxiety. This was so scary. I only saw my reg doc but i made an app with my OB, I need to see her anyway. I have to 2 years after having DD. But i wanted to wait until after AF comes? If she does...I just don't have that "im pregnant feeling" like i did with DD, but i am so crampy today, i don't understand. WE Dtd 5 days before I Ovulated..if am in fact pregnant...it's totally a girl! lol. either way...I cant wait to find out...I am basically saying F it....i think i am gonna go for it next month. I cant risk another oops form DH. I want to be prepared. When he pulled this last one I said "you didn't even drink a red bull or ice your boys" He said "the fan was on and I had some koolaid" isnt that good enough. This guy kills me. I love reproducing with his sexy ass.

Hey ladies! Update on me....

Started spotting brown this morning. Called dr they said it was normal. An hour later I'm bleeding red!! I just know I'm having a chemical pregnancy miscarriage. But my cramps are not bad and the bleeding is now a dark reddish brown color. I'm so confused. I have my pregnancy confirmation appt tomorrow afternoon so I should know something then.

Hey ladies, just popping in to give an update on me.

Last night I started having this crazy back pain--lower back, down the right side of my butt and leg. Then while I was trying to sleep, I kept noticing uncomfortable cramping in my abdomen. It was on both sides a bit and then increasingly just on the right. It was very uncomfortable and I couldn't sleep. Finally I woke up DH and he helped look up things online for me. Of course, one of the first things was ectopic pregnancy. He was like, go take a pregnancy test now! I was pretty sure I was pregnant because af was late but I had wanted to wait a bit longer to test. But anyway, I tested early early this morning and got a bfp!

I was so worried about the cramping that I called my doctor this morning and they had me come in for blood work. My beta is 571. I don't know if that is supposed to be good? They seemed to think it was fine. I'm supposed to go back Friday to see how it looks then and my first regular appointment is the 14th.

I'm sure it could be a variety of things but I'm nervous about it, particularly that it's so uncomfortable and just on one side. I do remember having cramps with Lillie but I don't think it was just on one side and I don't think it was this sharp. Of course, my symptoms now are already different from when I was expecting her, so who knows. And my menstrual cramps are usually very mild so I guess my cramp frame of reference isn't great.

Anyway, I'm cautiously optimistic for now and just waiting to see what will happen. All vibes and thoughts and advice and shared experiences welcome. Oh, and I took an Advil last night for which the nurse promptly chastised me so if anyone has any "took an Advil early and baby didn't immediately disintegrate" stories, those are also good.

Nothing is ever easy. Sigh.

ETA: Due date would be first week of May, SO perfect for two teachers. And I think my sway was good, at least I was doing bsd, coconut water, eating breakfast, larabars, meat, all that, supplements, pre-seed...SO much was different from dd. But I feel like no matter what it is our baby and that's what matters and right now, I just want baby to be okay.

That would be my MIL too. She is wonderful but...it's not about you! Well, 1st grandkid too, that's a hard 1 for them. I wish my sister was having hers sooner just to make ME feel better. I'm like a MIL too I guess. I'm glad I talked to my Dad. Quite frankly, and I told him this, since we live w/ them they are the only people that I will give any allowance too, but even then they are treading on thin ice. I gave him my nice little speech anyway.

That just leaves my "judgmental friend", my friend/employer, my brother who's been trying for years to have a baby and miscellaneous people. Saving the best for last.

Well, if anyone is NOT happy for you, they are an a$$hole. After all you've been through, you deserve some lifting up from those around you. If they are worried, so be it, but they need to be loving and supportive!

I'm all about showers, even if it's #10! Everybody needs something, even if it's a buttload of disposable diapers or frozen dishes for after baby is born. My MIL is not overbearing at all, she was a laid back blue collar mom....in fact, I have to watch her with my girls that she doesn't overload them with candy, etc.

Cemas, sorry hun but I don't know much about B6 effects....or the estrogen/progesterone thing.....I would make a post in the gender swaying discussion forum and hope that Atomic answers, she knows all about that stuff. They used to say B6 was a girl supp because it increased progesterone and that was girly, so they thought. I hope you get some answers! I still think you need to try femara or something though, just my opinion. What does your doc think about your long cycles?
