Sally Slug posted:Yeah seriously never buy ovulation strips or pregnancy tests at the drugstore unless you're in a pregnancy scare panic. You can get them for so so much cheaper on Amazon or Ebay. If you are a compulsive tester like I was (and will be again) having strips instead of the regular tests will stop you from bankrupting yourself. Yup. I'm buying this tomorrow: http://www.early-pregnancy-tests.com/midstreamtes.html It's pretty decent for $25 and I've heard that these cheapo strips can be more accurate than more expensive stuff like Clear Blue Fertility Monitors. I'm going to try them out and whenever I see a dark line, I'm heading for the bedroom.

Does this mean that your sister has encouraged you to start trying a little sooner?

Aardvarklet posted:Jenny, I'm glad you showed up! If you didn't show soon I was gonna come over to the preg thread and get on your case. I'm so pumped for you that you're going to start in July! That's coming up soon.  My birthday is July 7th and we're going away for the long weekend so maybe we'll start then  What a way to celebrate Independence Day hahaAnd yeah, that site is awesome. They have even BIGGER packages with like 50 test strips. It's crazy.

Papaya posted:My sister can sneeze and get pregnant My sister didn't even think she could get pregnant and then she meets this guy... they've been dating 2 months and she's pregnant with his kid. They're happy, and want it but man... it's so interesting how I've been following the pregnancy thread for FOREVER and planning, researching, taking prenatals, etc. and she gets pregnant out of nowhere without even trying. I hope I'm that lucky when I start trying.

Aardvarklet posted:In other news, I'm pregnant. Woohoo!!! Congrats! I can't wait to join the club too! In my other news, my sister is freaking out about being pregnant. I thought I'd be a paranoid mess, but I think she's got me beat. She's convinced that she's got an ectopic pregnancy. I have no idea why. Also, in Ireland, they don't test HCG levels (she's living in Ireland). Are they supposed to? I am not really familiar with it.

Ugh. So we're not trying yet but my last period was 35 days ago and I'm not pregnant. At this point, I just want my period. I think it's stress. I've never had that happen before. I hope this doesn't mean I'll have a boatload of problems when we actually start trying

bamzilla posted:I just want to echo that the Trader Joe's prenatals are great. I never had any constipation or nausea with 'em. Plus they're only $12 for a 60 day supply. I still can't swallow them whole. I cut them up into at least 3 pieces. Bam, do you have trouble swallowing them? What's your trick? On another note, 39 days and still no period... still waiting for it to show up!

Azulita posted:Hey Jen, at Rite-Aid they sell this flavored stuff that is supposed to coat pills and make them go down easier, maybe that would help? Interesting!!! I will definitely have to check it out. Anything to make them go down easier. Otherwise, I'll always have to hide the pieces in yoghurt or jam.

bamzilla posted:No problems, I just swallow them while drinking water from a cup (I tried doing it from a water bottle a few times and gagged and coughed up water everywhere). The pill just naturally slides down with a big gulp of water. Hmm maybe that's my issue. I was taking them at work with a water bottle and would gag every time. I'll try a cup. Thanks!

I was on the pill for many many years. I came off the pill in March. For about a year and a half, I was skipping the placebo pills and just going straight from pack to pack, not taking any breaks (= no period). Had my first period off the pill in April. 30 days later, another period. 30 days after that, a period in June. I just got my period again on Sunday.... 45 days after the one in June. I was starting to panic but maybe this is normal after coming off the pill? Before I started taking the pill, I was regular. When I was on the pill and actually took 7 day placebo pill breaks, I was regular. But now, they're kind of off. Hopefully they regulate themselves soon!
