Nicole: I took the Allegra for a few months when pg with Kale. So I'm not to worried. Especially since I only took it a couple times and it was sporadic this time. I've never really taken Benadryl for my allergies since I was little because it just makes me pass out. I have pretty nasty allergies and not sure it would be strong enough either.
Tara: I'm excited to see how your testing goes at the end of the month.
Amanda: what a sweet picture. Does chase just love her?
Alix: Did your dh cooperate with you lunch plans?
im sure I missed some people, but they are all on the previous page and I can't go back and check without erasing everything. So I'll have to catch you next time.
Afm: I ended up getting some of the sea bands (motion sickness bands) that Brie always recommended. They seem to be helping or giving me a placebo effect. Still feel icky every once in awhile but I can handle that. Still hoping this goes away soon and does not get worse. I hear so many nightmare stories that say it gets worse at 6 weeks and ill be 6 tomorrow. I think that makes my anxiety go a little nuts thinking about. So I've been trying to not think about it.
Haley: I was taking Allegra when I first found out I was PG with Aaron (already 6 weeks along) so like you said if it was only for a short time it's ok. Oh, the Benadryl makes you that sleepy? How about if you take 1/2 a dose? I usually have to do that with a lot of meds because the effects are pretty strong on me. Glad the sea bands are helping you with the nausea, hope they continue to :) I know it's tough to bear and the anxiety of it getting worse doesn't help things any. Let's pray it stays at bay.
Nicole The haircuts went better than I thought they would, but I did have problems with Ty. He kept taking the controllers for the game systems away from the twins and playing with the chairs so I had to have him time outs several times. But they look so much younger.
As for testing again....my OB will, but I don't think she will have to. My temp dropped some today and I think I ill get af soon. Stinks as I was so sure it would happen. For one thing we were on a roll with the bfp's and another thing is I would have been due around my mom's birthday and Ty's as well. He could have shared a birth month with the new baby. Like Trent and the twins share April and Lennox and I share September. Maybe I'll get pregnant this next cycle with twins and have them in July. lol
i think my ds, trent, is going to flunk out this semester. He never goes to class any more. Well I shouldn't say that, he did make it to classes once last week and once this week. But how is he going to learn anything and pass his exams if he doesn't attend? i had my dh talk to him, but he is still not getting ready to even go to his 2 final classes today. Wish he wasn't 18 because then I could force him to go. It's not like he doesn't have a way to get to school. We gave him our 1995 Camry, we maintain it, give him gas money, we even pay the insurance each month. My dh and I are thinking about not letting him go out with friends if he doesn't go to school that day.

Simone: So, you had a little challenge with Ty, but all in all it's good the rest of the time went well, it's gotta be something taking them all at once! It did drop a little but still abover that coverline, how are you feeling? It's not over until she's here officially ;) That really stinks you're having problems with Trent not going to his classes :( Is he a Senior? Did you have this issue last year with him or it just this one? That's a tough situation to be in, he's an adult but at the same time he needs the guidance from you.
Nicole Trent's in college and goes to UW- Whitewater. If he were still in high school I could still make him go as the rule here is up until graduation day for high school students the parents are the ones who will get in trouble for their kids truancy even if if they are 18.
I googled about negative blood test and still being pregnant and a lot of omen do end up with that problem.
Okay, here's the deal: My computer and internet are being finicky - continuation from earlier this week. We're supposed to have a tech come and deal with it on Monday - in the meantime, it works sometimes in the evening (yesterday phone did, internet not) but not usually. And the computer labs around here block this site (because it's a forum). So, that's why I've been absent. Sorry about that!
Alix - What's a Nook? Hopefully you've finished all your English hours! I wish we had free book days over here, it sounds great! Good that you can read without waking your hubby. :) I did research it, actually; I'm pretty anti-meds. It has a couple side effects the doctor didn't tell me about, but nothing too serious. So I'm going to try it. I wasn't going to, but then I got AF after 25 days instead of after 26, and I'm just sick of this shortening-cycle thing, so I'm giving it a shot, just for the sake of regulating AF. (Or maybe I'm using that as an excuse.) Hey, calm down - let them be mad at you; you know it's not your fault. Just stand your ground calmly... Too bad you missed it, though! Oh, good, you got some sleep. :) You're right, fast food is a real money-eater.
Amy - I hate it when people invite themselves over. :( Are they at least pitching in?
Amber - I think it's a neutral sign, CM can be kind of weird. I think what you're describing is "creamy" CM.
Amanda - That picture is gorgoeous! They are really cute! How's Chase handling big-brotherhood? Congrats on his birthday. Yay, no fuss for you, that's the best kind! Let us know when your nephew gets here. :)
Simone - Aw, man. I hope you just tested too early! AF really stinks (literally and figuratively). Glad the haircuts went okay, it's good that Ty responded to the discipline. Hm, it sounds like using the car as leverage might be a good idea. Hope your DH agrees and that it works the way you hope!
Oh, Haley, I hope you feel better soon. Do you know why you're jittery? Yeah, it's always best to check with an OB/GYN before you take anything. Ugh, it sounds like it's worse to be afraid of throwing up than it is to throw up. Maybe you can do some throw-up meditation, so that you can relax a bit? ;) Therapy? (Only half-joking.) Glad to hear the bands are working. It might get worse at 6 weeks and might not. But it SHOULD get better at 12 weeks. So hang in there.
Tara - Yay! Let's hope it works! 40 million is a LOT. One of those little guys should work, right? Hoping you get that BFP this month and it sticks! He didn't tell me he thought I had PCOS, he said I was probably fine, but if it's bugging me, metmorfin is a safe way to get my periods regular and raise fertility. He thought I should wait another month or so, though. I thought I would, too, but then AF came earlier than early, and I got fed up. Hey, it's your baggage and you have a right to it; it's pretty heavy baggage. I know, it must feel rotten. Maybe you can go to the bathroom when they announce it? And, hopefully you will have an announcement of your own (to make or not to make) in another couple weeks. ((HUGS))
Autumn, I'm sorry. That must be really tough for you. Hopefully you will rid of the BV fast, and won't have time to think about the fact that your pets aren't with you. And the cat will still have a good home, so it's not too bad on that count, even though you'll miss her. Maybe your DH can videotape her until you give birth, and that way you'll still see her a bit.
Nicole - Oh, man they won't let you wear flip flops OR crocs? That's not fair. Grrrr.... Want me to come and argue with them? Yay, it doubled! Hopefully lower HCG is a sign of healthier twins! :) Oh, good, Keflex is okay. I know what you mean about not wanting to change your ticker too soon, kind of like you don't want to jinx yourself. Good luck tomorrow!
Janel - Nice to see you. :)
AFM - I started taking the Biscodyl when I got AF, it's supposed to be twice a day for five days, and I'll have five doses left after tonight. It's kind of traumatizing, though, because diahrrea is really awful and my poop hole is getting sore, plus last night apparently when I had "gas" I pooped in my pad. Good thing I had a pad, huh? (Sorry, TMI.) Also last night I sent DH to go pick up the Metmorfin (I was scared I'd have to go to the bathroom on the way and go in my pants), and I took the first dose this morning. My doc said once a day for the first week, then twice a day. So far so good... I really hope I get a BFP this month, it would be a nice Chanuka present. Not so nice to be due Aug. 20, because I'd been really hot for most of the summer, but whatever, it's worth it, right? I'm also not sure that I read the thermometer right yesterday, maybe it was 36.7 and not 36.2 and I was just too bleary-eyed and mathematically deficient to read it properly...
Janel Hi! We should really meet-up and have our September 09 LO's meet each other. Maybe we could meet at the Milwaukee Museum or the Betty Brinn Children's museum? Also, there is a mom of twin girls born in September 09 who, like you, had a baby this year who lives in West Allis I ask if she'd like to do this as well!

Simone: Oh I'm sorry, that's right if he's 18 duh me :P ;) it's true, you CAN'T make him go. What is he studying for? That link was an interesting read, there are so many things that can happen so you never know ;)
Isra: I hope the tech can get your computer to be less finicky he he ;) And, you haven't been absent, you're always so good at catching up with everyone :) Look at me having to go back 3 pages this morning ;) It's ok, I'm trying to be discreet and hiding my shoeless foot under my desk, other than that I'm ok walking the halls at least, slow but sure ;) See, you do get where I'm coming from, that's right no jinxing! Thanks for the GL ♥ So, the Bisacodyl is making the exact opposite happen, I hear you on that. The Progesterone backs me up and the Keflex makes me go too much, no happy medium :P Thank GOD for those pads as extra protection ;) I think your doctor is really trying to give you a cleanse huh! Good you're taking the Metformin, I really hope it works to regulate your cycles :)
Nicole - I hope so, too. Thanks, that makes me feel a lot better about it. I hate feeling like I'm not responding enough, because I have five pages to catch up on. Hey, at least you have a desk job! Imagine if you didn't. No jinxing, your two little sticky beans will make it till 37 weeks (full-term for twins). I'm just telling myself that I need to take it for five days, and then I'll have a fresh start. Oh, man. No happy medium is right. Hmm, but what if you take them both? I know, I'm really glad that AF is here - gets both of them over with and gives me extra protection. Plus, who wants to use so much toilet paper for AF and then diahrrea? Better both of them together. ;) Hopefully the metmorfin will work so well that I won't need it next month, huh?
