You've got WAY more patience than me. I was at Rite Aid buying the First Response test the first day I was late. :lol:

I've got my fingers and toes crossed for ya!

Oh Berneses! I am sooooooo keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you. Even my legs are crossed for you, (no, wait, they usually are crossed anyway, trying to keep the big D from coming out!!! LOL!)

:lol::lol:

Hugs and fertility prayers being sent your way! :D

You guys are so sweet- looks like it's just the case of the missing period. I took an EPT today and it was negative. :( Oh well- there's next month. B

Just checking in on you ladies-

Late and missed periods are a mean trick for a woman trying to conceive. :rolleyes: But you just enjoy trying! B) Keeping my fingers crossed for you and all who are trying.

It took us seven months of trying...I peed on so many pregnancy test sticks...and ovulation sticks. It was worth it though! :P

Blessings and good luck! :)

Yea, it's no fun to get pregnant right away. You miss out on all those "playing hookey because you're ovulating" days. Just don't giggle when you "call in sick".

Have fun!

      How long have you been strictly gluten free? Certainly, it would be good to look into vitamin and mineral deficiencies and supplementation. The B vitamins, magnesium and D3 are all very important to neurological health. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to reverse gluten-induced neurological damage damage if it has gone on for a long time.

      Thanks Trents I'm strict with my gluten-free diet now. I just don't feel any better. I'm going to get tested for vitamins and minerals to see if I need some supplements. For sure I got some damage that doctors call Menier's and the only way they treat it is with medicine that does damage my body more than it helps.

      Thank you Scott for your helpful response! Based on this, would you say someone who is on a gluten-free diet - but not strict about cross-contamination and occasional cheating - and tests negative for tTg-IgA while having normal total IgA is not likely to have celiac, even if they have been 'gluten-free' for years?
    • Scott Adams
      That’s a really insightful observation about antibody testing and the gluten challenge! You’re absolutely right that antibody levels can remain elevated for months or even years after going gluten-free, especially if there’s ongoing cross-contamination or occasional slip-ups. The immune system doesn’t reset overnight—it can take time for antibodies like tTG-IgA to normalize, which is why many doctors recommend waiting at least 6–12 months of strict gluten-free eating before retesting. For someone who’s been gluten-free for less than two years or hasn’t been meticulous about avoiding cross-contact, there’s absolutely a chance they’d still test positive, since even small...

      Thank you for your response! I have considered starting a food diary in the past, I suppose this is as good a time as any to start.
