Guest guest Posted June 8, 2002 Report Share Posted June 8, 2002 yes you take your BBT every single day before rising out of bed whether you are on your period or not. The BBT will at least tell you whether or not you are ovulating. another good tool is the clear plan easy fertility monitor, but I think it only helps if your cycles are more regular. charlotte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2002 Report Share Posted June 9, 2002 Hello, I thought I would chime in and also say that I have TCOYF (Taking charge of your fertility) its a great resource. I also bought a BBT thermometer from drugstore.com and with it came 30 day free trial of their program. ITs excellant! I find it a little off on ovulation for the most part because my letual phase is quit longer than normal but It helps me keep track. I also opted not to do temps while AF is here. I am a year post op and plan on ttc sometime later this year. We are currently in our Practice ttc meaning we are trying selective sex method for our last child. We are trying for a boy but would be blessed with either or. Good luck to everyone!

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2002 Report Share Posted June 14, 2002 Welcome Amy! Don't worry about losing your baby because of this surgery. One has nothing to do with the other. So relax and enjoy your pregnancy. Of course if your first trimester was like mine, you will be begging God to hurry up time so you can get the second trimester. Morning sickness is a major drag! Your vitamin intake sounds great. I'm happy to see you are taking folic acid. My hubby read on the net that women that take folic acid before and during their pregnancies lower their risk of birth defects by a whopping 70%!!!! What I do to avoid the sugar cravings is not keep it in the house. I have watermelon in the house. That satisfies my sugar cravings. When I run out, I have this cereal called Corn Bran that is high fiber and very low sugar but for some reason it also satisfies my sugar cravings. Good luck!! Nette New Here Hi all- I wanted to introduce myself. I had a duodenal switch on July 6, 2001. I am down 140 lbs to about 187. I am now just 6 weeks pregnant. This is our second, my daughter was born in March 2000 and she was actually much of the motivation for me to have wls. Anyhow, seems like since I got pregnant I have been on one big giant sugar binge. I feel totally out of control with the sugar. Every day I say- No sugar! and end up eating cookies, cake, etc.. Is it going to be like this for the next 9 months? I am a little nervous because I am 20 lbs from goal and I want to get there after the baby, but if I gain too much weight I am worried I never will. Also, I am concerned about vitamins, etc. I have an appt. w/ my wl surgeon in July as well as my OB but for the next month I am on my own. Right now I am taking two multi vitamins a day plus about 2500 mg of Calcium plus an extra folic acid. I am able to eat quite a bit now, so I think I can get alot of stuff from my food- so now I am worried, too much or too little? We still haven't told our family yet and not sure when we will, I guess I am a little nervous about the pregnancy not 'sticking' because of the surgery. I know that is irrational, but just how I feel. Anyhow, it has been very nice to read all your stories! I look forward to hearing from you all. Amy Y.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2002 Report Share Posted June 14, 2002 That is a worry that even people who never had WLS have. I had heard you were pretty safe after 12 weeks. So breathed a sigh of relief. Well then one of my friends told me, no it is 16 weeks. So I prayed my way through the next 4 weeks and then thanked God I made it. Well at church Sunday, our pastor asked us to pray for a couple in our church who was expecting because their baby died on her due date. They don't know why. My first instinct was to be scared all over again. But I'm just going to pray that God gives us another healthy baby. There are pregnancy heartbreak stories everywhere but for everyone of those there are hundreds more happy and successful stories to tell and the stress isn't good for any of us whether we are pregnant or trying to conceive. So relax and enjoy your pregnancy and if you are trying to conceive pray for patience because that it was it takes! Nette Re: New Here Amy Welcome and Congrat.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2002 Report Share Posted June 14, 2002 Thanks Nette- This is exactly what I did this morning, gathered up all the sweets and treats and put them in a bag for DH to take to work with him. I am really trying to get on top of my eating but I just feel that wild hormonal hunger. I have been craving watermelong like crazy. I don't know if I could have one in the house because I would sit and eat the entire thing! I'll have to see if I can find a cereal like that- maybe that would help me. Thanks for the suggestion!

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2002 Report Share Posted June 14, 2002 Watermelon is actually pretty good for you... mostly water... vitamins... it's probably better than eating cereal. They're both carbs, but the cereal's denser than the watermelon. I say, if you're craving watermelon, then by all means eat it. You could do worse... what if you were craving Snickers? Yikes!! hehe Kris ayasud wrote: >I have been craving watermelon like crazy.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2002 Report Share Posted June 14, 2002 Watermelon is actually pretty good for you... mostly water... vitamins... it's probably better than eating cereal. They're both carbs, but the cereal's denser than the watermelon. I say, if you're craving watermelon, then by all means eat it. You could do worse... what if you were craving Snickers?
