It took a few days the get them to work somewhat through IV, but after I went home I felt awful again! Luckily it ended shortly after 1st trimester! Im feeling a little yucky right now actually! Mine usually doesnt hit till 5 or 6 weeks, but I told my doctor to be ready because I want to have meds ahead of time and I want the phenergan in suppositories so that Im not puking them up! Im also going to try the Sea Bands to see if that helps.

Oh, no, Mama! I completely understand. You probably lose weight in the 1st tri like I always do. I lived off gatorade w/DS#2 since no H2O would stay down. My OB said she's going to get me a Zofran drip this time around since it's supposed to constantly give you meds and work a bit better. Phenergan didn't do much for either pregnancy so I only took Zofran (still threw up even H2O, like you). I'm soooooooo hoping this time around for you will be a lot better. No one understands how bad it is unless they're going through or been through it. BTW, a friend of mine just had twin girls and she said it was her easiest pregnancy by far whereas the others were terrible ms-wise. Who knows...Maybe we'll all get girls and have no problem this time around.

GG - so sorry you're sick...Thinking a BFP is around the corner!!! =]

Exactly UmaJain!! I sure did, with DS1 didnt start gaining until my 7th month because I was so sick and with DS2 I lost 10 lbs the first 2 weeks I was sick!! It is absolutely horrible and NO people who have not been through do not understand!!! With my first preg, I gots tons of criticism from my DH's family because they didnt understand why I couldnt work, and with my second preg I did work and my employers (Dr's office!!) were very unsympathetic to say the least!!!! And on top of being in the hospital that week and dealing with my boss, my brother was in ICU from a car accident and passed away the next week! It was a very hard time for me, and they were not understanding at all!! Hmm, thats an idea, about getting a Zofran drip!!!!! I hope none of us have terrible M/S like that!!! I think I could even deal with just being nauseated, as long as I wasnt puking 24/7!! My lifesaver turned out to be diluted Sprite and I found in the hospital that I held down a biscuit, so thats what I stuck with!! I drank diluted Sprite ALL DAY, and all I ate were biscuits!! It helped so much! I even had my DH go to Churches Chicken while I was in the hospital and buy me a box of biscuits to have!

GG~ I hope this is your BFP honey!!!!!! I feel a little yucky today! I still have my FMU from today, Im tempted to go put a stick in it!! Hehehehehe

P4P, can i just ask please...... you said you abstained and dtd once, were you using OPK's? If so did you dtd that day after getting a positive OPK?
We were trying frequent Bd and then stopping when we got the positive OPK. But if we try abstaining this month, we obviously wont have dtd before getting a positive OPK, so therefore do we do it asap after the positive OPK? My ovulation day varies! Sorry for the questions - as you know its month 7 for us and i want to get it right this month.

What made you choose abstaining over frequent?

Is your DH home yet............ I really think this is your month......dying to know-you are so strong waiting to test. Fingers crossed x

**praying4princess** · April 27th, 2011, 08:44 AM

Thank you Doulamama!! Its still a BFN

.......I have come to the conclusion, that I hate testing! I guess Ill try again, Friday or Saturday. Surely it will be positive at some point since had that spotting the other day and my tummy had cramped all afternoon.....which I did have to use the restroom that night (TMI, and thecramps felt different), but I still had some cramping after that.

I know its still a little soon, but I just want to know and get a BFP already!

Now Im now excited about starting back at Zumba today!

Hi Pickles! I dont mind the questions! We chose abstaining, because we dtd frequently around O when we gots our boys! I am using OPK's and CBFM, so I decided to go by the "fade pattern".....which meant we DTD when I had an ALMOST + OPK and my CBFM was showing High. I had charted and was O like the day after my + OPK. Theres more info in one of the main forums about "How to do a cutoff" with the fade pattern. So we DTD when it was almost + and I believe I O'd around the next late afternoon or night, because I was checking to see when CM turned creamy. If you DTD when you get a true + OPK, youre going to risk it being a little closer to O than you may want. Most women O on average 32 hrs after a + OPK, but it could also be alot sooner! The tests say from like 8-36 hrs. So it would depend on what kind of cutoff you are aiming for. I shouldve done it the afternoon bfore we actually did but I had drank to much CL that day and it diluted my urine so my OPK went down so I decided to wait till the next mid-morning. Now if you have been trying for a 2 day cutoff and it hasnt worked then maybe you should try DTD when you get your + OPK, if youre comfortable with that. There are tons of women on the IG site that DTD the day before and right thru O and still got their girl!! If youve been staying on the diet and supplements then it should have more influence over timing! Eveyone says timing is least important! Which I know thats had NOT to want the perfect timing, I stressed over it too. But I was okay with it ending up in 1-1.5 day, I just didnt want it to be longer than 2 days!

Hope I didnt confuse you too much! I dont mind the questions, so ask away!!

Hey, All! Just wanted to let you guys know I'm going on vay-cay for a week and won't be back until the 8th or so. It's a cruise so I'm a bit scared of sticking to the diet. If I don't log on in the next few days, I just wanted to wish GG and P4P BFP vibes...Got a feeling you both will get BFPs this time around. Also, best of luck to the rest of you in the next wk or so.

Sorry....I know I'm a dork...Just wanted to get my message across, lol. I'm anxiously awaiting BFP news!!!
