Try PeriColace. It's a stool softener plus a laxative. Colace is just a stool softener alone. I had to use it once I started iron supplements. Probiotics will help as well. I take Nature's Made...

I am so sorry for all you have been through. I cannot even imagine. My DH and I went through IVF earlier this year. We have one child conceived naturally. DH has a balanced translocation which...

I am 26 weeks with twins and also had the hip pain quite early on. I sleep with the Snoogle body pillow and do acupuncture. I have been feeling so much better since!

You are a better woman than I! DH and I would have marched our happy butts down to her front door and given her a piece of our minds. In what world is it appropriate (or even legal for that matter)...

I'm sure no one expects a gift, especially when so many people are hosting. You could bake a mini quick bread or a few special cookies and just wrap them up nicely with a ribbon and a hand-written...

Congratulations! I am 22 weeks along with boy/girl twins and had the WORST bleeding I've ever had at 7ish weeks. I thought I was done for sure, but the babies were doing great. I spotted for a...

My DD had it. She was diagnosed at almost 6 months. We did a few months of PT plus exercises at home. We were faithful with those home exercises because if she didn't improve, she'd have to wear a...

I have been using the snoogle body pillow for the past few weeks. It's the only way I can sleep, because the hip pain was getting to be pretty bad. It's totally worth the money! I'm 20 weeks with...

I'm so sorry for what you are going through. I can't imagine. Many prayers and hugs for you.

She also mentioned reading/watching things that were light-hearted or funny. Avoid drama, suspense, violence, etc. Deep breathing (yoga style) can hep alleviate stress that can restrict blood flow...

Check to see what their district transfer policy is. My state allows you to withdraw from your neighborhood district and apply to a different one provided that your home district will release you...

I agree with pp that you should try to get a second opinion. A fresh set of eyes and a different perspective can't hurt. Also, check out financing for IVF through capexmd.com. That's what we used-...

My acupuncturist told me this exact thing after my egg transfer. She said it increases your chances of success. She also said to eat warm natural foods like soup. She was right!!! ;)

Yay! One of each- Congrats!

We are expecting boy/girl twins in January. :hooray:I need a boy name that goes with Olivia Jane and that's more traditional than modern and not too matchy-matchy (i.e. Oliver:laugh:). I had...

I'd love a gift like that! What a sweet way to start the year. My only hesitation with homemade treats is if the kids made the food item or helped... Then again, I teach transitional kindergarten...

My first beta at 10dp5dt was 435. My second at 14dp5dt was something in the 3,300s! Good luck!

Me! My DH has a balanced translocation of 14 and 21. We miscarried out first and went on to have a healthy DD (who carries the same translocation). We tried for 8-9 months for #2 before I sought...

My OB has the same policy. She also likes to take them out by 37-38 weeks, as she said she starts to worry about enough amniotic fluid....

Maybe try acupuncture? I have read articles that say it can help with count, motility, and lessen the number of abnormalities.

Sorry you have to deal with this. :hugs:

Does your pedi have a phone nurse? If so, I'd call and see what they recommend. Even if it's just how to make him more comfortable. But it sounds like he's OK other than the cough. I'd just call...

I took Crinone before and after my IVF cycle. I had no major side effects; in fact, I swore up and down I was NOT pregnant! (I'm 11 weeks with twins, go figure) Beware you will have a "buildup" of...

I got my period about 4ish weeks after my D & C. My OB said it would return in 4-6 weeks. So sorry about your loss!

Agreed on the "can't do a van yet"! We have an almost 3 year-old and will have twins in January. We are trading in our Subaru Forrester for a Kia Sorento that has the third row.
