Hey girls-
They had a summer thread for this but I wanted to start one for us ttc this fall. I officially got AF this morning after 3 months of nothing after going of the BC pill. So I will possibly ovulate the end of august, we arent sure if we are going to start trying then or wait til the next cycle which will be ovulating around the end of september. We are so excited!! :
Anybody joining me?

by the way- i am 21, dh is 26

[mrscompgeek]

Welcome aboard mommies!! So what are we all taking right now to get our bodies ready?? I am taking a flinstone multi vitamin (I cant take the regular prenatals cause they make me sick so my midwife told me to take the flinstones) , a extra 400 of folic acid and I am going out today to get some Red Raspberry leaf tea and some b6. The B6 Im gonna start taking 25mg a day from now out and then if I start to feel sick from morning sickness I will up it to 50 mg a day.

My EDD is early January (it varied 1/4-1/6) ... magically conceived with first egg that decided to drop after 5 months of absolutely nothing going on! :

I am hopefully finding out today what is growing in there. : I am dying of curiousity!! lol

I am drinking nourishing herbal infusions (red clover, red raspberry leaf, nettle, and oatstraw), eating my normal lacto-ovo vegetarian diet only minus all the cake and cookies , trying to drink at least a quart of water a day (gonna work that up to three quarts eventually), and doing prenatal yoga.

kriket, I love the fall and I love babies, too!! This is gonna be a great season for all of us! :

I'm taking some Wal-Mart prenatal, but yesterday I got a prescription for stronger ones (more folic acid). Not sure if I should fill the prescription right away or just finish the first bottle first. The doctor also said I need to get a potential heart murmur checked out. Hopefully that will turn out to be nothing or minor, and I'll be good to go to start trying with an early Oct. O.

[lynxeyedkat]

Notyet, thanks for remembering today was my first appointment! You are too sweet. Last night was my worst by far (morning sickness for me is "gets worse all day and really could be called afternoon and evening sickness") and today isn't much better. And I'm kinda anxious for this appointment, just another thing I've never done before (although I'd better get used to it!).

Jenifer, you're finding out the gender!? How exciting! I wasn't 100% set on not finding out until my MIL (whom I love) acted like it was her right to find out. There's a surefire way to set me in my ways!

I got a high reading on my fertility monitor today... which hopefully means I'll be o'ing within 3 days or so... hopefully DH won't come home tired/sick/sore/whatever as he often does.

[bornready]

16 DPO and CD 41 and af showed up early this AM!

All this after yet another false hope, this time give to my by a doc! The hormone doc that I went to get my results from yesterday said that from some of the labs that he took he feels that I Od on the exact day that FF said I did, which just happned to be the day he took the blood test. he said I was late on my af and basically acted as though I was PG.

Called today to say that the HCG he took yesterday was neg and he now thinks I did not O because my progesterone was so low yesterday (1.something) so now I have to go back on CD 21 for more blood work to see if I am Oing.

Every cycle!! there is always something, there is always false hope as well as a doc thinking something is wrong with me!!!

on to cycle 4 and month number 5 wonder what this one will bring!?

here I am, I love fall, it is a great time of year here in GA! There is so much to do! So I hope that this fun season will bring good luck!

Oh, I take Duet DHA (prenatal) and 100mg of B6 Thats all I am taking.

Oooh new thread. I'm hoping I'm about to O....I keep having cramping on my right side. My cervix was open two days ago but now it's too high to tell. Crossing my fingers!!

[merrysash]

I'm officially sick! Turns out I have a bladder inf and viral inf. Yuck. So, I'm still taking cranberry pills, juice, ect. I came home early from school today because I just feel yucky!

This is going to seriously screw up my temps, huh?

Jennifer- girl, you better tell us as soon as you find out the sex!!! I'm so excited for you! Can't wait to hear!

Bornready- I'm so sorry! Keep your chin up, keep tracking, and I'm sure a BFP is on it's way soon!

[lee1203]

Ooooh, pretty new thread!

Hope you feel better soon, merrysash!

Fall is my favorite season... and now it also means my baby is coming!! : I think that will be so cool, to have my LO's birthday be in my favorite season. I've only got 1.5 weeks of school and work left before I'm done and I can start seriously getting ready to welcome this baby. I've got lots of stuff to get organized that I've been too busy to do.

Good luck to everyone with a shiny new thread!!!

[myfairbabies]

Jenifer- how did it go?! Did you find out?

[curious&eager]

Funny how a new thread gets us going again. I am slightly less dedicated, so I get lazy to click to the end of the thread. For all us still trying, at least it'll be cooler in the fall! Good luck and many babies to all!

The ultrasound was awesome!! It's like getting a sneak peak at the baby's personality already. lol It kept moving it's hand to cover whatever the tech wanted to look at... mostly covering it's face. It was too cute. Then it was crossing and un-crossing it's legs just hanging out. hehe

But then... it opened it's legs and we got a great shot....



IT'S A GIRL!!!!

And she will be named Kalie Elizabeth. I am soooo excited!!!


I absolutely love her little feet! They are tooo cute!

[mrscompgeek]

JSMa- CONGRATS on the GIRL!!!: I am hoping for a little girl but dh says we are having all boys. . . lol!!

[myfairbabies]

Jenifer- CONGRATS!!! I was right (if you look back at my list of guesses) : : : : : : Beautiful baby girl! And Kalie is adorable, my best friend in High school was named Kali (same prn)
