UK SMOG Wannabes - November (moved from PL)

Thanks babymad! no i have decided to not take b6 as im going to take progesterone to lengthen my LP. Some cycles its 9 days long and some its up to 11, but even then thats very much borderline. Progesterone makes it 13 or 14 I have sometimes taken baby aspirin and will probably continue to do so. Is there any guidance on how much to take and whether you have to wean off it? The info is very brief on the IG FAQ.

Petal, i too am thinking of you! GL! X

Deaks- just seen your post on the general bit, all makes sense now, sorry for what happenned. When I miscarried, I put all my efforts into trying to work out what could have gone wrong ...... it did sort of help, I had to do something!
Did you ever get a copy of the sway guide in IG? In there it recommended some tablets etc. to take to help egg quality etc. to prevent miscarriage or lesson the risk I should say. Ill def. be doing that this time round. Your post has so made me want to just crack on with ttc now especially with my history of PCOS, miscarriage, short lp etc. at least the sooner I try the sooner Ill know what chances I have and can sort problems out sooner hopefully!

Thanks chocolate! yes thats exactly how i feel, like i just have to try and figure out what, if anything, could have caused it. So far i have come up with short LP/low progesterone (which i knew anyway), blood sugar levels, o+12, abstinence. The first i can do something about. Blood sugar levels is something i wish i had known about and will definitely remedy next time. i'm not keen on ditching the o+12 due to my manic ov ph and abstinence just seems to be something dh and i have to do to get pg bizarrely enough! Its as though only a big load of sperm can make that ONE get through!

Glad you are getting nearer to a decision on when to try. I definitely think that if you have a history of problems then to start soon and iron out any things you may want to give a miss is a good option. I have 3 threads on the general discussion on which atomic and others have given great info if you get a chance to look at! Have you tried progesterone crinone for your short LP... i really recommend it if nothing else works for you

oh and chocolate yes i have just had another read through the IG guide and i could take vit E and zinc along with baby aspirin. Think i will definitely give the sudafed/zrytec a miss next time.

Inglewood ~ did you friend stay team green? it must have been a shock for her if she believed she was having a girl. do you feel more tired this pregnancy or about the same? did you read your notes, do you have an anterior placenta? my babies always come early so i could perhaps only have another 7-9 weeks left to go.. :S how time flies lol unfortunately i'm a born worrier so i still don't quite dare to believe i'm having a girl.. i still think the worst is going to happen and still don't dare to go shopping. fx for no more colds or bugs now! i'm sick of being poorly and under the weather! i too suffer congestion as well! my nose is nearly always blocked! drives me mad lol unfortunately all 3rd trimester symptoms has hit me hard this time and i suffer daily from congestion, swelling and heartburn. Lovely but apart from that it's all groovy! i love being pregnant

She was gonna find out then decided not to at the scan, not sure yet how shocked she is! My other friend was like you and after 4 scans confirming girl she bought a dress, but still said she wouldn't believe it until she had her in her arms!! She did have a girl 9wks ago! I did check my notes and it says a Posterior placenta at 12wks, but I am so sure at my 6wk scan she told me anterior?? confused now!! I hate all this congestion, my SIL had it bad too and it's awful. All the patients at work think I have a cold and shouldn't be working! Then I have to explain..... it did start after a cold about 5wks ago. Got shocking heartburn already, prob due to not being on my reg gastritis meds, it will only get worse. But was told after 15wks could get my old meds back if feeling bad. Gosh u don't have long really!! so exciting! a xmas baby?? new year?? I'm expecting (all being well) to have the twins a month early, so beg April! My babies are usually late or on time and big!! will be funny having smaller babies....

Charlie, looks a fab shop, very girly! But quite expensive!! There is one in Glasgow, around 40miles away, I never get to the city, so prob why I've never heard of it. Must go up for a nosey, very floral my MIL's house looks like that shop!! or a shortbread tin with tartan everywhere!! lol Like you she reapholsters furniture. Was was a seamstress and is an AMAZING crafty lady!! All my baby bedding for cribs and cots were made by here and are gorgeous! Wish I could do things like that. I can sew a button on and that's about it! She would LOVE it there!!! She has prob been to the Edinburgh shop.
