   DRAGRACERMOM replied to JaneyW's topic in Ob/Gyn

   TOTALLY! EVERY cold or sinus thing I get, usually settles in my lungs, and not kindly either. I was in an oxygen tent at the ripe old age of one with "croup", and literally used to get it everytime the wind blew. Which here is OFTEN! I was not aro...

8. Basal Body Temp and Working Nights

   DRAGRACERMOM replied to NurseyBaby'05's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I really liked the various/combined methods. I used to track my (TMI WARNING) mucous. It is a huge sign and would only use the OPK's when that sign told me it was near. My Dr. recommended the OPK's. I got pregnant the first month my DH and I tri...
