Hey everyone. Hope you all had a Happy Easter

chitchat, when I first started the diet and supps I bought a ph tester and was so paranoid about trying to get my pH up. Now, I couldn't care less and I don't think it matters at all. Preseed should bring it up to a 7 anyway so I would just try that.

Skrimpy, what a gorgeous little girl you have there! Fingers crossed you get the house. I was actually thinking about you the other day. I've been doing tupplers (made me think of you!) and thought I would recheck your blog and see how you're doing. Are you still wearing the support belt? I'm going to get my butt into gear and buy the belt and book as the exercises themselves aren't doing much.

Cinss, sorry to hear things are so tough for you right now. I am in total agreeance with the swaying stuff. I feel bad for DH because he still thinks I am doing the diet hard core. I am so over it at the moment. I just want a baby.

ELP, hopefully things get better for you guys soon too! And you might be back here again soon?!

I've been having a lot of cramps the last few days, not sure what's going on there. Still getting strong + hpts. Only time in my life I want to see negatives! (oh apart from when I'm testing out the hcg trigger).

What is causing the + tests Bec? Have you been having your bloods taken too?

girlmom - how are you and bub?

ASF coming up to 16 weeks this week. It is going fast!

I still have hcg in my system. I have read it can take weeks to go back to down to 0. I haven't had any bloods done as my OB didn't want us to start TTC til I had my checkup with him, which is in 3 weeks. Guess I will have to wait, very impatiently!

16 weeks already!!

Ah I see xx

Hey everyone,

Skrimpy, Honor is a doll! Will be KFX you get the house!!! And exciting that you may be ttc earlier than you planned!

ELP, so sorry for the money stresses.....I think a ton of us have been there or are there now.....just take it one day at a time and get things resolved the best you can, and thank goodness for the money you know is coming in, right? Hope David and kids are all well! xoxo

Cinss, I think that there may be certain things you can see fit to drop if you are not conceiving. I'm not sure what your current plan is (and if you want to lay it out, I can tell you what I'd drop), but I wouldn't start getting concerned just yet.....another few months and I would maybe get an appt with your doctor to just check things out. Did you conceive your others easily? And by the way, SO not meaning to freak you out....sometimes it just takes time to get pg....I know tons of friends who took up to a year and it just was that way.

Kris, your profile photo is so cute!!! I love the red theme! She is adorable!

Stinks that you have to wait that long to ttc, Bec.....wonder why your body is still so full of hcg? I guess it hasn't been that long. I'm sorry, honey. I know waiting is hard especially when you want to jump back on it right away.

Chitchat, my opinion is that the baking soda is not necessary. The whole purpose is to raise your ph, which has been dis-proven as something that sways. When you drink it, it is supposed to change your ph from the inside out, which affects your cm ph more, and the finger is to give your vag a little ph boost when dtd. Thing is, ph doesn't sway, so it's not really worth it. IF you really want to try it and are hard-core like someone else mentioned, you can, but it does burn your cooch a little and it really isn't that good for you. Baking soda is not meant for humans to consume large amounts of. There have been lots of boy moms here who tested ph like crazy and theirs was low....it just isn't consistent enough evidence to really matter. Both sperm thrive in a 7-ish ph, but can do just fine in lower ph. Personally, I think it can kill the sperm when you put it up the vag with the finger sometimes, which is no good.

POP, how are you doing?

Flava, I bet you just had one of those fluke little bleeds that is no big deal, thank goodness!!!!!

I haven't wanted to drop anything really you can see what i have been doing on my blog, the things i have dropped from there are EPO and Ural, i just have run out of most of my supps and can't afford to restock if you know what i mean, so for this month i am only taking fish oil, folic acid, vit D. Eating eggs for breakfast, bananas and red meat, i know my sway has fallen off the wagon, and i am ok with it. The first time i fell pg 1st month trying i didn't even have 1 period after coming off the pill, that ended in a m/c unfortunatly, then the next time i fell pg first month trying, so i guess i just thought it would work out the same way, but i know it can take much longer.
