ARCHIVED Newly Diagnosed With Dh And Infertile....
Roxyk replied to Tephie's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
welcome to my world. I also was diagnosed with low ovarian reserve. I was gluten free for one year before I got pregnant with the help of a fertility clinic. I did Follistim (an injectable drug) plus IUI. I am currently trying to get pregnant again & we are on our 12th cycle. I am just not responding well at all. let me know if you have any... -
ARCHIVED To Take Progesterone Or Wing It?
Roxyk replied to ginghamkim's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I was diagnosed in June 2003 with celiac disease. I was on progesterone suppositories twice trying to conceive. When I became pregnant I was on them for 10 weeks. I am once again trying to get pregnant and on them every cycle. I have had NO problems with constipation or reactions. It is worth the "messiness" for sure! -
ARCHIVED At What Point Do You Have Your Child Tested.
Roxyk posted a topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I have celiac - so does my father & brother. I had a baby girl in March. our ped seems to think testing around 3 or 4 years of age is fine. I would rather have it done earlier. At what point do you have your child tested? -
ARCHIVED Breastfeeding With Celiac
Roxyk replied to hannahsue01's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
My daughter was born in March of this year. She was full term & just under 7lbs. I have been "glutened" once since her birth. That day & the next my production was WAY down. She ate constantly & never got enough. it was so very sad. Pump, drink TONS of water, and eat right - that all helps temendously. So does Mother's Milk tea. -
ARCHIVED gluten-free Meds Used In Labor & Delivery?
Roxyk replied to Anya78's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I had our first baby in March. I would suggest getting a hold of the dietican, Labor/Delivery Head Nurse & anesesolgy (I know I butchered that spelling!) ASAP. They need to know BEFORE you get there. I was told to bring my own Tylenol & Advill - they use generics that are NOT gluten free & may not have gluten free on hand. They will not let... -
I had the same problem. My daughter would not eat well at the breast. We used a SNS (bottle thing with a tube) with a nipple shield, then bottle fed by daddy while I pumped. I hate to tell you, but we did this every feeding for 3-4 weeks, then just the sheild until she was 6 weeks. Then BAM she just went for the breast. Now we have a hard time giving...

ARCHIVED Your Experiences With Concieving After Going Gluten Free
Roxyk replied to Kelly J.'s topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I had been trying to get pregnant for one year before being diagnosed with celiac disease. AFter being gluten free for one year I finally conceived. We now have a beautiful daughter - Eva Marie - born in March. -
I have been in close contact with our hospital. I started with the head labor/delivery nurse, the anethesoligist (I can NOT spell that word), the pharmacist & the dietian. All have come up with plans for me. START EARLY talking to them. I was all set to go at 36 weeks. It is worth it to put in many phone calls to make sure they understand everything...

No, you aren't worrying too much, just taking charge. I really don't think drs did as much for me as my acupuncturist did. she told me 9months of treatment & I would see a difference - and I did. Combine that & my injectable drugs for fertility & I got pregnant. I would recommend looking for a Tradition Chinese Medicine dr/acupuncturist in...

I should have added that I did have normal periods ON birth control - because it's hormones. It was when I went off that things started to change & my period got shorter & shorter.
-
From my experience, I did have a hard time getting pregnant, probably due to celiac. I was only diagnosed because my father was. About 9 months after my diagnosis & going gluten free I had normal periods. Exactly one year after diagnosis - I was pregnant. I am now 33 weeks. I do "appear" smaller in the belly - but who knows. We will be watching...

Hi! My husband & I were married in May 2003 & started trying to have a family then. In June 2004 I was diagnosed with celiac. On July 3, 2005 we found out I was finally pregnant. I had been gluten free for one year & finally had 3 normal periods. I was 37 at the time. Pregnancy has been incredible. I feel wonderful - better than ever...

By 18 weeks I had gained maybe 5lbs. don't worry - I am now 30 weeks & have gained 25lbs total. All of a sudden it just "packed on". Just keep eating enough & healthy. You'll be just fine.

ARCHIVED Pregnancy And Celiac Sprue And Age...
Roxyk replied to a topic in Related Issues & Disorders
My husband & I were married in May, 2003 & tried to start a family right away. June, 2004 I was diagnosed with celiac. July, 2005 I got my postitive pregnancy test. I was very strict with my diet. I was diagnosed ONLY because my dad was diagnosed. One of my two brothers also has it. my drs DO think celiac may have played a part of my not getting... -
Congrats on your BOY!!! We chose not to find out. I am 25weeks now & feeling great. I'm getting BIG!! And it's hard having a craving for chocolate cake with frosting at midnight & no gluten free cake in the house! Oh well, it helps keep the weight gain in check.

ARCHIVED Anyone Have Infertility.....
Roxyk replied to melisadki's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Hi! I am now 20 weeks pregnant. My husband & I had been ttc for one year prior to my celiac diagnosis. One week after being gluten-free for a year, I finally got the call that I was pregnant. At the time we were seeing an RE & doing injectables/IUI. Both my RE & OB think the problems getting pregnant were probably due to celiac. They... -
Congratulations - she is absolutely beautiful!!!!

KayJay - I don't actually know what is in the packet - I am just sending in my order now. I will post as soon as I get it to let you all know if it is worth it!

After being gluten-free for exactly one year I got a positive pregnancy test. I am now 7 weeks. My RE really didn't know anything about it, but the ob does. I do know that another group - Gluten Intolerance Group - has a hospital packet you can order before you go to deliver. It was a very long road for us - I basically had gotten to the point...

Hi Sally - thanks for asking. We are now done with Clomid & off to see an RE next month. My TCM dr says I'm getting better every day. But we are not pregnant yet. I've been gluten-free for almost one year now too. If we don't get pregnant in the next 6 months or so, we will move on to adoption. I'm 37 & not getting any younger & I work in...

ARCHIVED Prenatal Plus By Teva. Anyone Heard Of It
Roxyk replied to deener's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I take a different one made by Teva. -
We were just in Vegas & had the BEST meal at Mesa Grill in Ceasar's Palace. We were able to order appetizer, entree AND dessert, right off the menu. They understood gluten free & cross-contamination. I highly recommend eating there!

I did have all the "tests" done - everything was fine. Accupuncture is going great - I do the herbs twice per day. They are nasty, but she swears I'm getting better. Some days I think accupuncture is the only thing keeping me sane.
