Guest guest Posted May 10, 2000 Report Share Posted May 10, 2000 I'm not Shonda, and she would probably know better, but I'm almost certain that you are correct... you take EPO for the last six weeks of pgcy. I've wondered if it would've helped me if I had taken it. I probably will take it if there's a next time around (and I'm hoping there will be). -Kris - RE: question Shonda, My friend is 33 weeks along and wants to take Evening Primrose Oil to help ripen her cervix (this is her 1st pregnancy) and I told her that I thought it would be okay to start taking it around 34 weeks along. What do you think? ______________________________________________ FREE Personalized Email at Mail.com Sign up at http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 10, 2000 Report Share Posted May 10, 2000 Is she doing it orally or internally.?? You can do it either way. Orally my Dr. and midwife said to start early (the whole pregnancy if you want on the lowest dosage) then at 33 weeks to double the amount. It is an essential fatty acid and is good for you. Also, Raspberry Leaf Tea is good for the whole pregnancy to tone the uterus.Evening Primrose Oil can be done internally after 35 weeks. You just poke a hole in the capsule and insert it! ) donna > Shonda, > My friend is 33 weeks along and wants to take Evening Primrose Oil to help > ripen her cervix (this is her 1st pregnancy) and I told her that I thought > it would be okay to start taking it around 34 weeks along.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2000 Report Share Posted May 10, 2000 Thanks, Kris. I just needed some type of a guideline for this stuff.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2000 Report Share Posted May 10, 2000 Yes. She should wait until 35 weeks for internal. It is totally safe, but messy. I am only taking in orally because it is messy the other way, and if it will work it will work orally. It is a good thing to be taking anyway. donna RE: question > > > > > > > > > > > > Thanks i am a little worried > > > > > > how far along r u? > > > > > > > > > > > > Suzanne > > > > > > " Suplicki, Jenna " wrote: > > > Yes.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2000 Report Share Posted May 10, 2000 Well, she doesn't really want to fool with the internal part, but she is willing to do whatever will work the best. She was just going to take it orally, but if you think that internally will help, then I'll tell her to do that. But how does she insert it? With her fingers and then rub it on the outside of the cervix?

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2000 Report Share Posted May 11, 2000 Thanks, Shonda. She asked her midwife about it yesterday at her doctor's appt and she told her to start at 36 weeks and to take 3 a day orally and then to place 2 on either side of her cervix at night before she goes to bed. Jenna Re: question Hi Jenna- Its hard to say about 34 weeks , for me i tried it starting probably 36 weeks i wanna say and i think it helped alot.. maybe if she started taking it gradually and then by 36 weeks she can begin to take more.... if she has bh contrax or contrax with the EPO, it can dialate ,(cervix more pliable for dialation) you and being 34 weeks a little early for dialation but , saying that you can be dialated for weeks and not go into labor...anything after 37 weeks the baby lungs are fully developed so this is why i say start at or around 36 weeks.... she should talk to her dr about taking EPO ( hehe i should practice what i preach ) cuz i didnt talk to my dr either .... I hope this helps, Shonda RE: question > > > > > > > > Thanks i am a little worried > > > > how far along r u? > > > > > > > > Suzanne > > > > " Suplicki, Jenna " wrote: > > Yes.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2000 Report Share Posted May 30, 2000 Amy, Are you on any depression medication? If not, then I would suggest you talk to your doctor about it, if so, then maybe it needs to be adjusted....it sounds like you are going through some kind of depression...it makes you feel like that....sad, lonely, crying, taking things out of context.....just a suggestion.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2002 Report Share Posted January 3, 2002 Hi Gaby welcome to the group .I am also new to this group after finally getting a diagnosis on my 16 year old daughter.I really havent had time to post to the group much but have been trying to read every chance I get.All the people on here are very helpful when you read their posts, sometimes it is a big help to just read and know that you arent alone.I was wondering if you dont mind me asking ,what type of therapy was agreed on? With my daughter they are going to be working on dbt therapy,which someone told me to look it up on the net search and it is interesting .It stands for dialectical behavior therapy.So far i really dont know how I feel except hopeful that we have a diagnosis and hopefully are headed in the right direction.I also have the trust issue with her as she has always told lies even as a small child which I know is normal but it seems she never outgrew it.The last suicide episode was over her being caught in a lie ,which she knew that she would be caught.But she is smooth ,,,she can get almost anyone to believe her stories.Even her school counselor was drawn into her little world of lies,she had him convinced that she had a 4 month old baby and she doesnt.He even put her into a teen parenting class .He was very surprised when I informed him that she doesnt have children and has never been pregnant as she told him she was pregnat with another .I have found this group very helpful,even though I usually only find time to read a few ,when school starts again i am hoping to have more time.Oh and wanted also to share the fact that my daughter also was relieved when she had a name for this ,as she also knew something wasnt right ..before she was told she was " possibly bi polar " and her words were well at least now its not possibly anything.She was reading " i hate you ,dont leave me!which she said sounded exactly like her ,hopefully she really meant that and is not just saying it to adapt as she can adapt to almost any situation and make everyone around her love her ..I wish you & your son the best and thank God for this group .Lori--- In WTOParentsOfBPs@y..., " gaby_veltman " <gaby_veltman@y...> wrote: > I hope all of you have passed well into the New Year and are full of > confidence in better times to come - which leads me to my first > question, which is troubling me a lot this moment: > > My son, who has been placed in a family therapy for the time being > (because he was completely " disintegrating " socially, accompanied by > various problems) has been pretty stable and happy for the past three > weeks since he was told he is a BP, and the mode of therapy was > agreed on with him. > Greetings to all, Gaby.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2002 Report Share Posted January 4, 2002 (((Gaby))) Hang in there. Keep sharing. I am going to foward to you some emails I posted to this group before you joined...if that's ok with you. Would you like me to do that? I think you will relate to my situation with my daughter(17). Let me know if it's ok to forward you the emails and I will do so in private posts since the group has already read them.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2002 Report Share Posted January 4, 2002 Hi phine! Thank you for your kind postings! I am really glad at this time for any support I can get. I have been totally exhausted the last months, after years of trying to do the very best for my son, but seeing him having more and more difficulties in spite of everything! Oh how well I know the feelings of being an inadequate mother and feelings of guilt! Although somehow I always thought it couldn't be that I was such a bad mother. I always loved my son, I know I never abused him in any way, and I always was careful to find loving people to care for him when I couldn't look after him myself because as a single mother I always had to work. And a lot of it you have to bear all alone! I mean, you can't go and tell other people about the explosions a BP child constantly has. Like all his outbursts of hate towards me and hate against himself. Only someone who is going through the same thing can understand that it does hurt immensely, even if you try to be rational about it and know in your mind " he doesn't mean it " - yet, when it happens, some part of him he can't control does mean it, even if I know he is also a friendly and loving person who wouldn't harm a fly! Do you think the chances of healing are better because our kids have been diagnosed at a pretty early age? If you would like to send me your information, I will be very happy to read it and I thank you with all my heart. Greetings and I wish you and your daughter a positive start into the New Year. Gaby. __________________________________________________________________ Gesendet von Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2002 Report Share Posted January 4, 2002 Hi Lori, thank you very much for your kind post. (Actually, I wrote you an long answer last night, and when I was nearly finished, the Computer broke down before I could post ...arrrgghhh..). I am very glad to find people in this group who do know what I have been going through - it is very difficult to share our issues with others. Like the following situation: When my son changes clothes (which happens rarely enough), he always throws them under his bed (he has developed into a fullscale messie the last year). So I say, Francis, I am going to do the laundry today, do you have any clothes I should have for the wash? Result is, he explodes, throws a tantrum and ends up threatening to kill at least himself maybe me as well because as he says " all I ever wanted was to ruin his life anyway " . He locks himself into his room afterwards and half a day later he comes out again as if nothing ever had happened and is the most loving and reasonable boy you ever met. Now if you tell this to someone who doesn't know about BP, they will either find that story amusing or they will say " hey, you are spoiling that kid far too much, just throw him out of the house " or something like that. However, if you are confronted with situations like this several times a week, it is definitely not amusing, and I can't throw him out, because I know he doesn't want to be like this and I know he suffers most from himself. All in all, I have been absolutely exhausted the last few months, I have felt like a zombie who is just trying to still function. Now, we have had this BP diagnosis and I am trying to make another start to help my son on the way he has been started. He is also getting dialectic behavior therapy, along the guidelines of a German specialist (called Ingrid Seger, I think, but I am not quite sure anymore, because I haven't got the book yet, it is coming from Germany). Actually, there are many similarities in the way of approach to the S.E.T. therapy described in " I hate you, don't leave me " . As I mentioned, my son reacted in a surprisingly positive and cooperative way to the diagnosis and the envisaged therapy. However, after being happy about this in the first moment, I also had the suspicion he might just be adapting - new therapists, new situation, and of course he would have an " academic interest " , he always wants to know how things work. But, I know he is world champion at adapting - only up to now, after a few weeks or months, when things get personal - he has usually reacted by wreaking havoc on the situation - until we had to start at point zero again. What you wrote about your daughters lies has also touched a chord with me - although with my son the lies are different, I think the reasons are the same. I wish we could make those kids really feel and believe they are lovable and worthy persons as they are - that there is no need whatsoever to make up these stories. The other point is, I think BPs can manipulate themselves to the point where themselves they really believe the most blatantly obvious lies - even though they are intelligent persons. Like I suppose your daughter would have known the truth would- inevitably - come out. Now, this post has been too long already. I will come back to this topic later. Thank you for listening to my ramblings - I do feel with you and wish you and your daughter all strength available for the long way ahead! At least, as long as there is a way - there must be some hope too!

" that way you can ensure that you have a validating environment, realize the child's chemistry might be mixed up, and be aware of all the possible problems.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2002 Report Share Posted January 4, 2002 Gaby, Yes I think the earlier the dx the better the prognosis. I have an 8 yo son who is displaying BPD behaviors and although it's been chaotic I firmly believe that since it's detected so young he has a good chance.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 Most big drug stores, like Walgreens or Longs, carry them in their medical equipment section. If not, you can for sure get one at a medical supply store. They're called "Reachers." Laurie W. QUESTION HI EVERYONE1.)
