I am very nervous without them! If you're TTC, I have some odd advice! Start drinking green smoothies every day. I started drinking them when I reviewed "Green for Life" and kept at it after I was done because the book really did convince me that they were so good for me for so many reasons. The greens help make the body more alkaline (most bodies are far too acidic and that affects everything, including fertility) and supposedly are very good for preventing disease and greatly improving health. People have even said their gray hair started to go away or skin growths went away! I just feel younger and healthier since starting and I really think they made my body in a peak condition to get pregnant despite the odds and my age. I know it sounds goofy but I really think it played a part! Just make sure you use organic spinach and greens (rotate types). It's not much money if you get a tub of them at Walmart. Here's my review for more info. <> I think I basically accidentally upped my iron, calcium, folate, vitamins, plant proteins, etc. and added so many fruits and veggies to my daily total that it really made a difference. My kids and I are still doing them every morning. Just thought I'd mention it. It's one of those things that can't really hurt! :) Good luck!

We are currently trying to get pregnant with #5 :o) I have Lupus and have the thick blood too! I'm always amazed how many M/C people will have before a Dr. actually gets around to checking that out! I have had at least 3 people who have told me about multiple M/C's that I've had get checked and they came out with it too. I wonder why Dr.'s don't know about this more? Like it's rocket science or something, lol! Anyways, it's also interesting how different Dr.'s do things so differently. I take a daily baby aspirin, but they have me stop that and do heparin shots twice daily during my pregnancy. So far so good. I had 2 kids and then my 3rd was M/C at 6.5 weeks (the other 2 are adopted). Most people wouldn't have even known they were pregnant at that point anyways. Why the HCG shots? Is that related to the blood or just something different? We've been trying for 8 months to get pregnant and so far nothing. However, at least 3 months I've felt totally pregnant and then wasn't. I've been wondering if I'm having HCG issues. Is there something we're missing? Anyways, sorry for the long comment, lol! Congrats again! Congratulations on the pregnancy!

I'm pretty sure not. My hormones were at the level they should be a week farther along, but that makes sense to me because I could not have conceived when I was supposedly ovulating (it was simply way too many days before mid-cycle), so I think I'm a week farther along than their little chart says I am. The same thing happened with Alex. They told me he was conceived during a week Daryl and I weren't even in the same state together! :) Other people have asked that! I’m pretty sure not.

I don't know what this means exactly, but I thought I'd ask a question since my hormone levels were high. :) Are you sure you're not carrying twins? “She says my levels are even higher than they should be…”
