My husband & I have already been seeing a fertility specialist since March of this year, we had the consultation that month & then waited for my next period. When my next period came I went in for blood work, but that's all I did at that point yet, there was a misunderstanding I think due to the new computer system they got. And because of that I was only able to get just the blood work done at that point, we wanted to do an IUI cycle & because we could only do 1 round I actually was kind of glad the IUI process got extended. So that it wouldn't seem like the procedure was here done & over so quickly, that probably sounds weird to some of you but that's how I felt about it. According to the blood work I did have to take vitamin D3, & still am taking it. All the blood work they wanted me to have done came back normal, except of course the vitamin D level test. So we were luckily able to use injectables along with oral medication, so I was put on 300 IU of Follistim & 2.5mg of Letrozole, they also wanted me to take a low dose steroid Desamethasone to help the other medication to respond better. I assume some of you were or have been put on something like that too. And of course the Ovidrel trigger shot too. The nurse showed me from the ultrasound, that I had 2 follicles that were going to be ready from my right ovary, so I was excited to know that I had at least 2 follicles & was hoping & praying that whole time that they both would spit out some really good mature eggs. And we're hoping & praying for the best outcome especially because of the injectables & oral medications they had me on. This is the first time I've used injectables so that's especially why we are hoping & praying for the best outcome. Because all I was using awhile back was either Clomid or Letrozole. & I didn't respond too well to them, I'm not even sure if I ovulated when I was taking them. My OB/GYN was doing ovulation blood work but it didn't seem too accurate. So that's why I was glad when the fertility specialist put me on the injectables along with the Letrozole so it could definitely increase my chances of getting pregnant. So now we're waiting & hoping & praying that all the injectables & oral drugs did the trick. Because they definitely did all they could to help me, & I appreciate that. So anyway with all that said I would very much appreciate your prayers for this cycle to have done the trick.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
