Hi ladies. I am here after 2 early losses. I have no idea why it is happening and am having some tests done on CD 3 of my next cycle. I have very supportive family and friends but have found that someone who has never been through this just doesn't get it. I have lurked for months after my first loss. Now question about POM juice. What is it used for and how is it used? Thanks for taking the time to read this. I wish you all luck and thank you for all the wonderful information and support I have seen on here while lurking.
I have seen the ticker warning before and wasn't sure if I should. Better safe than sorry.
Re: Intro and POM juice question(ticker warning)
Hi. Welcome to the board. I am very sorry for your losses. You are in the right place.
The ttcal blog (top of the page) will give you some hints as to the POM juice (I've never tried it myself).
Also, if you're wanting to give a ticker warning--and we welcome that--you can always give it in the title of your post so that the ladies here can choose whether to click on the post or not.
I hope you find the support and help you need here.
Hello and welcome. I am so sorry for your losses. Good luck with your upcoming testing.
Pom juice is thought to thicken your lining. It is best to use it from CD1-ovulation, drinking 8oz a day. It has to be 100% Pom, not a mixed drink. I've done it for several cycle and it hasn't seemed to impact my lining at all. But, it's a super fruit and is full of antioxidants, so its not going to hurt you! I find it tastes best when diluted with a little water.
Best of luck to you!

I'm so sorry for your loss. Welcome to the board.
I think the PP covered your POM question, pretty well.
As for the ticker, I believe the official rule is for pregnancy tickers (that's what it says on the blog anyway). There are alot of women here who have one child already and if we made everyone put a siggy warning for everything, there'd be nothing but siggy warnings.

I am so sorry for your losses- GL with your testing and I hope you find answers soon! Welcome to the board although I am sorry you have to be here.
I am no help on the POM juice question but wanted to comment about the ticker warning. As many ladies have already said, the ticker warnings are usually for pregnancies, but I would suggest if you do decide to talk about DD in your posts to mention it in the title- I usually do this as well
HTH!
GL to you and I hope your stay here is short and sweet!
