Yay! That means the program thinks I ovulated too, backing up my assumption. :D<\/p>\n<p>I shake my head at the people on the forum&#8230; a lot of them self-medicate <i>way<\/i> too much. They take all these kinds of &#8220;natural&#8221; remedies and extra vitamins and stuff&#8230;. soy and raspberry tea leaf and robitussin (not kidding)&#8230; all supposed to have some kind of effect on your menstrual cycle (like making a more friendly environment for sperm, or lengthening your luteal phase so you have a better chance of implantation). Just because they&#8217;re herbs and can be bought over the counter doesn&#8217;t mean it won&#8217;t have harmful effects to a baby or whatnot. I self-medicate with my meds, but that&#8217;s because a) I was already prescribed them b) I know what they do and c) I only adjust the dosage (usually down). I try to get myself to the lowest dosage I can without losing my stability. But that&#8217;s different than taking some pills picked up at a health food store. What scares me most is that most of these people see other people doing it and just go out and do it without even researching it. Yikes.<\/p>\n<p>Well I still feel all bloated, I&#8217;ve been burping constantly. What&#8217;s with this? I&#8217;ve not been eating a lot. My stomach just feels weird. Too bad it&#8217;s too early to actually be a sign of pregnancy. ;)<\/p>\n<p>I feel really quite strongly that this is our month. It&#8217;s like&#8230; I just felt the need to start NOW for some reason. And 2005 has been the year of pregnancies and babies. Maybe I&#8217;ll be disappointed. I don&#8217;t know. I&#8217;ll find out in about 9 days. :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I got my red crosshairs on FF! Yay!
