    Does everyone have symptoms early on? I am 11 DPO and honestly I am scared to test, becuase I don't want the dissapointment. I have promised myself not to test until the day AF is supposed to come. However, I haven't noticed any symptoms of pregnancy. Is this an automatic sure sign, or do lots of women have no symptoms this early?

    I too am 11 DPO and am scared to test as well. I have had some symptoms though, but don't want to get my hopes up. Why can't TTC be just a little easier :ohwell:

    Thanks Angela! Amazingly enough I am eating alot of the 1st trimester foods already, I just bought a big thing of asparagus as it sounds good. :bigsmile: (minus the anchovies though, I am not sure I could bring myself to eat them...:laugh: )

    As far as TTC, it seems to be harder when you want it. I tried for a year to get my son, resorting to accupressure, and temping to actually conceive... this time we just weren't careful enough. :noway: I wish you all happy conception thoughts :blushing:

    thanks for the new tips Angela. I'd never heard of buckwheat before.
    I'm curious though, a lot of these foods seem to have the natural versions of everything we need for a healthy pregnancy. So are vitamin and folic acid supplements still needed?

    I was wondering about that too. I talked to my doc about my not tolerating prenatal vitamins very well and asked if eating a healthy diet recommended for pregnancy was enough and she still asked that I take a multivitamin .. so we switched to childrens gummy vitamins and I double the dose. :-)

    I totally agree that this should be easier. Got a BFN this morning. Month two now over and done with. On to month 3:ohwell:

    Hello everyone! It's been awhile, I was just reading to catch up. Sorry I've been MIA. We found out the end of June that the baby had passed and I had to have a D&C. So I took some time off from dieting and eat the crap out of my feelings! Now I'm trying to get back on track. So here I am ready to start all over again!

    I got a BFN this morning too. Never would I have thought that TTC would be such an emotional roller coaster. No offense to anyone but, I now see why more often then not babies are NOT planned. Sorry for your BFN hun, we just gotta keep chugging along and wait for *our* moment. :flowerforyou:

    Jenn I am so sorry to hear that. Kudos to you for getting back at it, but I've been there and it sucks. I wish the best for you!

    I'm glad I found this post.. I hope you all don't mind I invited myself. My hubby and I have been trying for awhile, and I decided that I need to start taking care of myself before conceiving so we went back on the pill, and I will go off again when I've reached my goal weight.
    I want to give my baby the best start possible, and I want to be a cute little mom :)

    My name is Mandy by the way.

    This is a cool group!
    I just recently found out I'm pregnant with our 2nd. My daughter is 2 1/2 now. And I gained tons of weight with her. This time around, I plan on gaining hardly any. I joined MFP Jan. 2010 and have dropped 42 lbs. So I will continue to use this while I am pregnant and after to lose even more and get to my goal weight!!

    Hey girls I am so excited I wanted to share with you all I got to hear the heartbeat today! And I found out that I don't drink enough water I need to have 16 cups a day a whole gallon a day yikes. I guess the challenge for those ttc should be drink 8 glasses of water and get used to it LOL. Have a great week everyone.

    Jarla – that was the funniest thing I’ve seen all week!!!

    Yessie – I’m so sorry about you’re father-in-law. I lost my dad 3 1/2 years ago, I’ll keep your family in my thoughts and prayers

    Caliwaters – that’s so great!!!! I can’t imagine what amazing feeling that must be. 16 cups of water? I had a hard time getting 8 in!

    My doctor gave me the green light to start TTC!!!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: He cautioned me against it before because of my weight and the complications I would have because of my weight and health. But losing 34 pounds has taken me out of the “obese” category and put my blood pressure and cholesterol within the healthy range and I’m no longer borderline diabetic. Which means NO MEDICATIONS!!! :smile: So it was a very good week! We're still going to wait until Christmas to start TTC but I’m so happy that I got the green light. That gives me even more motivation to get rid of these last 20 pound before we start trying.

    Yessie - I'm so sorry to hear. My condolences and prayers are with your family right now.

    Cali - that's so wonderful! I"m really looking forward to being in that place. I'm so happy for you. Was your husband with you?

    So I found this water calculator - it asks the most questions of any of the other ones I've found. http://nutrition.about.com/library/blwatercalculator.htm

    Ron - so exciting!!!!! You're such an inspiration!

    The wedding countdown is now in the days - no more months. It's coming quick!!!

    Jalara - Yay it's so close!

    Yessie – I’m so sorry about you’re father-in-law. Will be praying for your family.

    Caliwaters – 16 cups of water?! Is that supposed to be including the water in food?
