Hi, According to info I have, you can be reasonably sure you are pregnant if you have 18 consecutive high temps with no sign of your period. It also said that you may experience a drop in temp the day before your period starts. HTH, Val

Iwould think the ultrasound is more accurate. The closer you ovulated to day 14 the more accurate the LMP(last period) date would be since that's what doctors base your gestation on. The further you ovulated from day 14 the less accurate that date would be. For instance, if you ovulated on day...

I read your post about the U/S finding a cyst on your babies brain. At my ultrasound they found an echogenic focii on my babies heart. Though they aren't related to each other I did research and found out that both conditions are VERY common in babies. Heres a website that I found extremely...

Congratulations! How exciting for your family. You must give details when you get a chance(they're great to read!). Take care, Valerie

Congratulations!

RE: I am finally pregnant Congratulations Elyse! Imust say Taking Charge of your fertility isone of the most informative books I've ever read. What saddens me though is that Iknow there are lots of women out there like you and me who weren't conceiving because of timing issues and they may...

Hi Shanda, So sorry to hear about the news but as someone said doctors aren't always right and they can definitely scare you by magnifiying the worse case scenario. Definitely find out all you can about this condition the doctors say your baby may have and know that I'll be praying for you...

I bought two of her dvds and hated them. One I didn't even do I just previewed. The other, WTME, I did a couple of times but just couldn't stand to watch her form. I know what you mean about all the recent glowing reviews about JOyce. It made me wonder if I was doing the right thing by...

Hi Beth, Some people may not have wanted the entire series but since ordering the whole series was such a good deal they took the plunge. In my case I initially ordered the entire series on dvd for $105 even though I only wanted the pyramid dvd. I figured if I sold the other dvds I didn't want...

LAST EDITED ON Dec-30-02 AT 04:34PM (Est)[p]I ordered the dvds so I'm waiting. I'll definitely be trying most if not all of the weight work but I'll have to see with the cardio. The other day I felt so winded I could only do a Buns of Steel step video. I laughed at that video prepregnancy but...

Welcome Storm2! Things have been kind of quiet around here lately. I hope things pick up soon. I'll be 20 weeks on Thurs w/#3(a girl) I already have 1 of each. What about you?

I breastfed both my kids for a year and then started weaning them. I loved breastfeeding. I think it's a special time for bonding. I had the hardest time weaning my kids from the before bed feeding because I enjoyed it so. I plan to breastfeed my next child as well.

Had my ultrasound yesterday and it looks like we'll be adding another girl to out family. Her name will be Daria(pronounced Dairy-uh). We're very excited. Just wanted to let you guys know.

Just curious as what you guys are planning? I had an epidural with my 1st child and thought the pain relief was WONDERFUL but I hated how numb my legs felt afterwards. It was very uncomfortable. I also think I got a headache at the base of my skull from the epidural. The pain would come back...

My Braxton Hicks felt like a tightening in my abdominal area. As for the real thing...I was totally unprepared for how my real contractions felt.I was assuming they would feel like the braxton hicks only stronger. For me, with both of my kids real contractions were felt more as a tightening in...

I have the mini electric Medela as well. I'm a sahm so for me it's perfect. I noticed with my first child that it worked fine when my milk initially came in but when I went back to work (parttime at 12 weeks postpartum) I found it hard to get as much milk as I needed(I was pumping everyday)...

Lately I've been doing my Cathe step on my rebounder. I prefer that instead of modifying to low impact.

RE: YYYEEEEAAAAHHH!!!!! Congratulations Fitnik!

Also, I've read that if it's brown than it's just old blood that's trickled down(I had a little at about 4 weeks). If it's red than that's fresher blood so you might want to let your doctor know.

LAST EDITED ON Nov-19-02 AT 02:31PM (Est)[p]HI, congrats! I think you should let everyone know when you're ready. Everyone is different. I always told immediately (this is my 3rd pregnancy). Although this time maybe instead of tellling hundreds of people within about a one week span we...
