My doctor yesterday, put me on a medicine that will be ok for me to take in case I get pregnant. He told me I had correctly figured the amount of Folic Acid I needed to be taking, and told me to continue taking it.

 

[SweetBella]

thats cool!

 

[Katakalupto]

Yeah, and funny because my dh swore up and down I was taking way too much.

Silly hubby...

Yesterday (before I headed off to work) my MIL rang....to offer me this wooden rocking chair they no longer use. Woot first baby-related item! (and it was free!)

 

[SweetBella]

how fun!!!

 

[Katakalupto]

Rocking chairs are awesome. I used mine all the time with my daughter. Now she climbs in it and says I wanna wock.

 

[SweetBella]

okay.. for those that are TTC...do you use lube or do you just use nothing?

 

[livin4christ9203]

we use nothing, natural lube is actually best. Even the kinds without spermicide.. can actually lessen the amount of sperm that can get to where it needs to go... and kind of dilutes it in a away. natural lube can actually carry it and store it better. But, there was something I was reading on another post.. that might work if you have a problem with natural. It was somewhere on here. preseed or something like that.

 

[SweetBella]

yeah, lol.. i started that thread... i heard too that lube is not good to use when TTC that is why im just curious what others do... we just don't use anything.. just natural. i was asking people if they ever used that preseed stuff but it doens't look like anyone has...???

Yeah I was hoping someone would say if they'd used it before too.. Maybe we should buy it and try it! lol Then we can let everyone else know!

 

[SweetBella]

okay, you go first.. hehehehehe

 

[SweetBella]

heres a better site...

[livin4christ9203]

hmm.. i wouldn't mind trying it.. but it looks kind of expensive if you only get 6 uses or 3 uses out of one box. I thought it would be more like others where you pull it up into the tube and it lasts a lot longer. hmmm.

 

[livin4christ9203]

I really don't think it helps conceiving.. but it's better for those who deal with dryness to use than regular lubricants.. if you don't have a problem with dryness, then I think it's best to go natural.

 

[SweetBella]

i think natural is the best way too!

 

[Leanna]

I think you should take something to enhance your natural stuff, like green tea.
