TGIF

jennamarie10

I've been to Buckheads! I've never seen a dancing bear though, ha.

mbody

Yeah, the bear doesn't always make an appearance. I'm not up in Milwaukee often, and always a bit bummed when I don't see the bear.

Basically, someone is dressed up in a brown bear costume that goes around the dance floor and pours shots into people's mouths.

Nebb- Definitely go to an endo. General physicians often have different standards than endos do for blood levels and when to medicate to regulate your thyroid. My mom has had so many issues with hypothyroidism and when she finally went to an endo and was treated by him, she felt 100x better and was able to lose weight. She'd been doing much the same of what you're doing- exercising a lot, eating properly, etc. I need to go as well, but I'm not sure if it's covered by my insurance.

In Response to Re:TGIF:[QUOTE]In Response to Re:TGIF:In Response to Re:TGIF : Miracleworker for UTIs:Posted by mehgankI found out about Cystex recently after having plenty of UTIs. I was superannoyed that no doctor had ever mentioned it to me beforehand to help with the pain until the antibiotics kicked in.Morning! and TGIF indeed! We have a busy
weekend, and a busy Friday getting
ready for Vegas, finishing up works
odds and ends, Hunger games, etc etc.

Thanks for the rec ladies! I've been taking Uricalm which sounds similar, but just hasn't been cutting it. I'm pretty much out so I'll pick up some of the good stuff today.

Morning ladies.  I was on call this morning but no work for me!

Im about to throw dinner in the crock pot, open all the doors and windows, and do some house stuff.  I have a few craft things I want to try on Pinterest.

DMil- 7 weeks is a litle early for a yes or no with twins.  Did they ask you to come back in a week or 2?  I know a few girls on TB who the Drs saw 2 sacs, but only 1 heartbeat at 7 weeks, and then at 8 weeks there were 2 babies and 2 beats!

Nebb

Can I be honest, im really bitter and pissed off that ive been dealing with it this long and my doctor just basically said "i dunno!" to me when he could have sent me to a specialist. I dont get the impression he believes me when I say I eat well and work out. 

 

Im definitely going to pursue this.

Morning ladies! I am so glad it is Friday. Work has been crazy and I am exhausted and in bed super early lately. I started exercising, but kinda lost it this week. I am going to try Insanity this weekend. Wish me luck. Supposedly my thyroid is normal, so I am not sure why the weightloss becomes a huge issue for me. I feel like I have to starve myself and exercise like a mad woman to lose weight. Not sure about PCOS for me, I am going to scedule an appointment with a prenatal loss specialist so hopefully I can get some answers, but I don't really have the typical symptoms of PCOS.

LHT and Dmill, congrats on the beh behs in the bellies

Nebb I see an endocronologist.  Its a reproductive one, but he handles everything hormone related.  I would ask to see one.  They will do extensive testing on your thyroid and all your systems.  They know what to look for.

[Deleted User]

I only skimmed because I'm rushing, so I mostly remember that dmill might have TWINS!

I'm about to pack up the truck and head down to my mom's. ALmost time for my event! I just have to do a couple final tings for my class and around here, then I can head out\. But I have so much shiit to pack. I should take a pic of my truck when I'm done.

Denise91980

I wonder if I should see an endocrinologist on top of the loss prevention specialist.
Hmmmm

[QUOTE]JCB, amazing.   Nebb, I was so pissed with my doctor last year. <strong>He kept giving me crap for my weight and I got the feeling he didn't believe me about my exercise/food habits. And I was so frustrated because all the "tips" I would get like "Stop drinking soda." "Use mustard instead of mayo" etc I was like "I don't drink soda, eat this or that, etc. There's nothing else I can change."</strong>  Then my gyno thought to test my thyroid, and it was pretty far off. Then the first time I went to him to get re-tested (as she doesn't really treat it and only would give me like 1 month of medicine), he was like "She put you on a really high dosage. I'll probably cut it."  When he got the results back, I was on the perfect dosage.  My level was exactly where it should be.

This rings so true to me. I am always getting crap from doctors for being over weight, but I cant frigging cut anywhere. I probably eat better than they do!! Its not like I can just stop eating something and start shedding weight, ive stopped eating so many things and it hasnt gotten me anywhere.

That is probably what I need to do. I can barely get past the same time frame either.

Thanks guys. In my book it said to go in with a full bladder for your first u/s, so I did. The tech said that you need a full bladder for an external but an empty for an internal. They did an external first and that's where, to me, it looked like there might be two, but it's so early that you can't really see much. So I used the restroom and had an internal. On the internal, it kind of looked like a shadow around the one that we could see, so I'm not sure. They really didn't say much and I don't know if that's because they really just can't be certain, or if because there's a possibility that there are two sacks, but most likely only one baby. I guess I'll find out more at my 12 week appt. The up side is that we did get to see at least one baby and it has a strong heartbeat (152 bpm) so I'm stoked for that

SereJane

Oh man Dmill, twins?! That would be awesome!

Well I got invited to a follow-up interview/candidate day for my dream position! It's not with my dream district but I don't care, what I teach is more important to me now than where I teach. I'm so excited.

Good Morning ladies!

Nebb definitely go see an endo - PP's are right. If there is an underlying problem and your doctor isn't treating it, you have to do what's best for you. Also - you might think about changing doctors? It's a PITA but it doesn't sound like your current one is very helpful.

Busy busy at work for me too - and I am damn glad it's Friday - we're having a quiet night in with the kids tonight, then I'm going out with a girlfriend tomorrow night for drinks and debauchery (and by debauchery, I mean watching the Twilight movies and crocheting lol). Should be a good time!

I think it's going to be, Sept. It would be too ironic for Michael and his brother to both be expecting twins on the same damn day lol

Blue - I love that open-all-doors-and-windows-and-get-down-to-business feeling when I'm Spring cleaning. Even though it's hot here year-round, we rarely open our doors and windows, so it feels like we're recirculating the same air year-round. I might just do the same this weekend to clear the air.

I love it.  I have french doors in the dining room that leads right out the the back porch.  I open the front door and there is a great cross breeze.  Plus, it lets Gia have free run of the inside/outside

My only thinking is that she's seen (and helped fix) a LOT of things.  One of her specialties is reforming metabolic adapations.

I do, however, think getting a referral to an endo is a great idea, especially as that'd be covered by OHIP.

Im not hoping for it, twin pregnancy can be rough, but we went with what our best chance for having at least 1.

Posted by jcbsjr[/QUOTE]

Yes.  Originally when I thought I was fertile myrtle, we wanted 4 kids back to back.  Now we would be happy with just one if thats all we can have.  Ideally we would like 2, close in age, now.  If I have to do this everytime we want a child, there is no way I could do this for 4 kids.  No effing way.  My body is shot to shiit as it is from all of this.

What scares me the most is the chance that both could take and 1 could split, and the very slim chance that they both could take and both split.

I'm not really a baby person right now, but if Blue gets pregnant, I might cry. I get really emotional over my friends who have gone through fertility treatments and when it finally happens for them.

My good friend went through 3 years of trying, a year of artificial insemination, and two bouts of IVF last year before she got pregnant in November, and they're having twins this summer.

Blueyed228

Lol. aw meg.

Can you imagine if DMil, Sept, and I all have multiples?
