Prenatal vitamins

What prenatal vitamins do you take?

Today I was at Wal-Mart (once again...lol), I went to the vitamin section in the Pharmacy and grabbed a box of them.

I was hesitant at first:
1. Being that they are SO expensive!
2. Wal-Mart doesn't have a good section for them, they have a cheap version that I don't trust w/o someone's review on them and there was one that I would never consider buying at all. Its in a powder for...ummm no thank you!
3. Their customer service in all of their Pharmacies SUCK!!! (My opinion).


Guess how much they cost?
Just take a wild guess....
............
.........
......
...
.
Well they were $15...that isn't the beginning, they are only 60 pills.

Okay I though One A Day wasn't that expensive (in the past...years ago).

I am not sure if I am going to like them...well I better for that price, I mean come on now that is $0.25 a pill which means its $0.50 a day. The reason why its 50 and not 25 is because its 2 different pills a day. The box came with 30 Prenatal Multivitamins and 30 DHA/EPA. I will post a picture of the pills and box later on in the day. Along with a link to my 1 day review of it.

Please...I ask you PLEASE let me know which Prenatal Vitamins you take, and where can I get them (where did you buy them), if they are prescribed or over the counter, price range, and if you like them. I would greatly appreciate it with all my heart.

Thank you for following me on my journey to TTC I pray we all get our positives faster than we can blink.

In Loving Memory of Arturo Sanchez Elias 29DEC86 - 08FEB09

As the time passes, one expects the pain to subside. Not in our case. Arturo was only 22yrs old when he passed. He was full of life and very outgoing! When I was going through some tuff times, he always was there to offer his support. I have no brothers but when I married my husband his brothers became brothers to me.

Words to my brother in law:

Poncho, we miss you to death, and not a day goes by that we don't feel the pain in our hearts of loosing you. Its hard for us at times when we remember the crazy times we all had. The laughs, cries, goodbyes, conversations, and events we shared with you will never be forgotten. As my promise to you my first son will be named after you. And when our family continues to grow we will never leave out the memory of you.

Con Todo El Amor,
Your favorite Cunada Lydia

We love you and never forget you.




EL ES UN HEROE PARA MI Y SEGUIRA SIENDOLO PARA SIEMPRE TE QUIERO MUCHO CARNAL TE EXTRANO ESTAS EN LO MAS PROFUNDO DE MI CORAZON GRACIAS POR TODAS LAS ALEGRIAS QUE NOS DISTE GRACIAS POR SER MI HERMANO QUE DIOS TE VENDIGA Y TE PROTEJA ESTO NO ES UN ADIOS SINO HASTEA ESTEMOS JUNTOS OK TU BROTHER MANUEL EL MANNY O JAPO Y TU FAMILIA

A long awaited update. CD23 - 5DPO

Okay I know I said I was going to update frequently since I now have a Blackberry but, Christmas has kept me busy.  Last Saturday (December 19th), we had a Christmas play at church and I was busy with that.  Also at the last minute I was doing Christmas shopping for my family, which I will never be a last minute shopper again (I say that every year...lol).  Oh, and to top it off I finished all 4 placement exams for school which I stretched out over 3 days to complete them.  I have yet to register for some Math classes and an English Composition class.  I know I am waiting for the last minute for everything but with me taking 2 weeks away from everything and being sick for a whole month, the time had slipped away from me and now I am slowly and surely getting on track.   

So lets get back on track, I am in the 2ww as of right now.  This cycle so far I have not done an OPK nor my BBTs, it was time to stay away from them and see if I can do it on my own.  So wish my luck!!!  I was taking my Iron pills for most of my cycle but it has been 3 days since I have taken them, I have been forgetting to (as of right now I am taking them...oh and Folic Acid as well).

 I do have an important question though, what prenatal vitamins are you taking or have taken in the past that you really liked?  I have been doing some research but I need some suggestions as well.  I don't want to go to Wal-Mart or Target and get just any one, when I had my first miscarriage I was prescribed Cal-Nate and they where the best I have ever taken!  I went to Walgreens to get a pricing on them so I can ask my doctor for those again but they said that they are no longer made  :-(  which i am very upset about!  I tried over the counter ones in the past and they weren't as good as Cal-Nate was.

So on to the 'fun' stuff (I guess you can say) the symptoms I have so far this cycle and during the 2ww:

-Dizzy Spells (most of the cycle)
-Exhaustion (the first 20 days of my cycle)
-Sleep Deprivation (the last 2 days -2ww-)
-Breast Tenderness (the first 18 days and the last 3 days -2ww-)
-Anxiousness (the last 2 days -2ww)
-Gassy (CD3-7 and 2DPO-5DPO)
-Migraine (CD2 and 2DPO)
-Cramps (off and on threw out this cycle)

So far these are the symptoms that I am having.  (Since I have not been charting this cycle I just jot it down on my calendar).

I am praying very hard that this is our cycle, it has been a long 4yrs (50 months) of TTCing.  I am so ready to graduate to the Expecting crowd!  Which brings me to this:  CONGRATULATIONS CARLA THE BUBBLELUSH FOR YOUR BFP!!!  I have faith that 2010 will be the year I conceive!  When ever I feel like I am not going to get pregnant I say to my self,  "YOU WILL GET PREGNANT! 2010 WILL BE YOUR YEAR!!!"  I hope that will help me get to the next level, hey every little bit counts!

I think that is it for now, I just wanted to make this very quick  and simple.  I will be doing a TTC Vlog tomorrow sometime in the afternoon so be on the look out for that.  I will try my hardest to post 2 other blogs later in the week that I have on my mind as well about my goals.  Any questions at all please ask.

LETS GET PREGNANT!!!

Been M.I.A.

I have been away for a little time, spending time with my family as well as enjoying my Godson that was born on December 1, 2009 @ 7:05PM weighing 3k 200g.  He is so precious and has some of my husbands feature i.e.: nose, eyes, forehead, and mouth.

Anyways, now that I am back, I figured I would do an update.  This time around I will be updating more frequently.  Now that I have a Blackberry it will be easier for me to update on a weekly basis.

As of today I am on CD10, and been feeling like I am catching a cold.  I have been exhausted, feeling dizzy, and very thirsty.  I am continuing to take FertilAid and FertilCM, as well as taking 2 iron pills (for the dizziness), and one Folic Acid.  I am debating on getting more OPK's for this cycle I think I will just go with the flow.  But then again I might just change my mind.

As for now I am going to end this post, and update more later on this week.  Take care and BABY DUST!
