Pregnancy Info HOME

KB thank you for your support but I have good and bad news. My husband will be going out of town when I ovulate so we have decided to wait until August. At first I was upset but there is nothing I can do about it. God's blessing on your post-op appt. I hope you are able to try sooner than the 6 months he suggested. God Bless to everyone trying this month and to those who are pregnant.

SASHA-Girl, I got so bloated that I was too tight and too bloated and too tired to exercise. Before the injections I said I would work out like crazy. Didn't happen so I prayed that I would have intelligent and beautiul children... I prayed that I would not get too too big and that I would loose the weight without having too work out alot. All my prayers came true! My ovaries got so packed full that it was really sore down there. Forget working out physically! Instead, work on your mind and prepare for your child or children. Goodluck with the shots! I never got used too it but girl it is all worth it in the end. Pls, remember to take your shots at the same time. KM-Get busy and keep us inormed! WHERE IS JOKER?

Girls, it's been forever since I posted. I was reading regularly while I was at school working, but now that it is summer I got off schedule. I have read and caught up on everyone. CONGRATS to you pregger ladies out there. We tried for 4 months to get pregnant on our own (I dont think we timed it well...I was trying not to OBSESS) and eneded up back at the Dr. taking 100mg of Clomid. I am in the middle of this cycle. According to the ovilation thing I have not ovulated yet, but man I am feeling it today...I would put money on the fact that I am ovulating. I am having SUCH bad pains down there and it's only day 16. SO, we will have a good couple of nights and pray pray pray!!!!

Hello Everyone! Guess what? I AM PREGNANT!! YES, I AM PREGNANT!!!! Praise the LORD!!!! I had no idea but the signs were there. I ate last week and noticed that even after eating, I didnt feel full. Also, I missed my period! I NEVER miss my period! I have had a period since i started womanhood!lol. And to add to that, my husband and I went to visit my family on vacation 2 weeks ago and my grandma said i looked like i was picking up a little weight( mind you I am small and pet_te but I still can't tell about the weight-- but you know how grandma is, she notices everything!lol--(smile) but i didnt think anything unusual though. So i said, i'm just eating more than usual! I didnt think though that it was due to pregnancy and that a couple of weeks later I would be on my way to motherhood!lol I never thought this would ever happen to me, seriously speaking, but I knew God had a plan for my life because I have endured so much in life and overcome so many things. Being a cancer survivor really changes your life (I'm 31) and no one ever expects that to hit you or your home. I know I didnt. I am very thankful that God healed my body and continues to do miracles in the lives of so many people like myself. I thank God for the purpose He has on my life and I now know that part of that purpose is to be a wife, mother, and nurturer to my child (or children). I just wanted to encourage you all with my good news and hopefully inspire someone and let them know that yes there is now another pregnancy on the board that occured after a myomectomy surgery and to tell you not give up no matter how things appear to look because more pregnancies are on the way!!! Just believe and hold on. There is a plan and a purpose and God is just working it out and putting all the pieces together for you as he did for me. Now I personally know for myself that there is nothing too hard for God to handle and nothing that any of us as a person cannot do or make it through. All things are possible to those that believe. I kept my faith in the LORD and even when I had the myo surgery and after the HSG to check tubes, and even after having a tube obstructed from surgery, here i am carrying a life in me. It wasnt the easiest thing I've had to do(surgery that is), but to this day it sure was one of the best things I made a decision to do. After trying for 9 years, Truly I am grateful and one of the most happiest women in the world at this very moment. I have felt the excitement of many "good news" occasions and celebrations, but there is nothing that compares to the way I am feeling at this moment as i write this to you. Hopefully by the Spring of next year, my hub and I can hold our little baby in our arms( I am ready to give so many hugs and kisses to him or her..lol). I am looking forward to it! We have been married for 9 years and this will be our very first child so we will be going all out for this one! OMG I still can hardly believe it! I AM PREGNANT! There is another life growing inside me now. WOW!!!! Hold on to your faith ladies, its a new season for the release of fruit in the womb. I encourage you to keep believing and do what you have to do to hang in there! It will happen! I didnt know I would be next in line for my miracle! I thank God so much! Truly I am a miracle and the life inside my womb is my growing MIRACLE! I came on this board 7 months ago and who would've ever guessed that this would be the month for me!!! God bless you all and I love you! Keep you posted!

A-Miracle, CONGRATULATIONS! I'm so happy for you and wish you an absolutely perfect pregnancy. Please keep us posted on your progress!!! I'm now 5 weeks post op and will return to work next week. Other than still feeling a tiny bit bruised down there I'm doing really good. The incision sight has completely healed and there's only a tiny area of my abdomen that's still numb. Some days it still feels like I've been kicked in my stomach over and over but the swelling (muffin top) for the most part has gone down and I've actually lost a couple of pounds. I still can't wear my favorite blue jeans. They fit but the b___ton and zipper in the front hurt my already sore tummy. I'm not quite sure what to do about clothing because even though all of my old clothes fit the pants do bother me because of the soreness. I had been wearing my maternity clothing from earlier this year but they are way too big. Anyway, I'm still praying that my doc will say 3 months for ttc instead of a 6 month wait. I go back for another exam on next Monday. My hubby seems to be eager to get me preggers again right now. He doesn't want to use any protection (I'm not taking any bc pills) so I've had to explain to him on several occa__sions that if we don't prevent a pregnancy so soon after surgery that I can actually have a uterine rupture and lose another baby. He doesn't understand how all of that works. I look perfectly healthy to him and you can barely even see the incision scar... my dr did a WONDERFUL job in st_tching me back up so my hubby thinks that since I'm healed on the outside that everythings back to normal so we've been arguing about that! In the past we were both pretty fertile so we really have to take extra precautions. Although I desperately want to be preggers again I want to wait until I get the ok. I have to admit that it makes it hard when my hubby is so willing and eager to try again though! Congrats to all who have made it through the myo and all who are preggers! Baby Dust to all!

Congratulations a Miracle!! I am so glad for you. Baby dust to all the others also. Speedy recovery to you KB and hope to hear from Joker soon.

A-MIRACLE IS CARRYING A MIRACLE!!!:0) So happy for you, girl! God is good isn't he?I was there so I totally identify with you... Enjoy the 9 months... Ups and Throw Ups!! Lol! Yippee! KB-Wishing you all the best!

A-Miracle~What a Blessing that you are pregnant!!! And what a beautiful blog you wrote to report it!!!! I am so happy for you and your husband especially after trying for 9 whole years! Awesome! I pray and hope that it is a healthy and smooth pregnancy and delivery! Sasha~

Thank you so much ladies!! I am starting to feel the effects of being pregnant!lol. Have a great weekend everyone!!!!

Hello, I hope everyone had a great weekend. A-Miracle I am so happy for you. I wish you a Blessed and uneventful pregnancy. May God continue to Bless you and your family. Today at church my pastor preached about the power of ONE. I thank each one of you for your encouraging words during my time of need. Without you ladies I don't know how I would have made it through (especially deciding if I should have the surgery). Joker, I don't know where you are or what you are going through but I wish nothing but Blessings for you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for starting this forum. The Power of ONE (You), have changed our lives for ever. God Bless to all those trying this month. What happened to the ladies who are pregnant? Don't forget about the little people... (laugh) : )

KM, I posted an update on my pregnancy a few weeks back but got no response . . . . anyway, I'm now 21 weeks pregnant and feeling great. Actually, I feel so grateful and blessed. No fibroids, no effects from the myo at all. The only thing that reminds me of the surgery is that as my belly expands, my incision site begins to itch like crazy! Keep positive thoughts, everyone.

Hi Everyone, Congratulations everyone who's preggers and everyone who's fibroid free and those who are both! I have been reading all of your post and keeping up with everyone. I feel like I really don't have much to offer right now. My son was stillborn on March 7th of this year. I had my AM on June 24th. Tomorrow I go in for what I believe is my final postop exam where my dr said that he would complete an internal exam to make sure everything is healing properly. I thought that there would be some sort of ultrasound but he just said that he's going to do an internal exam. I'm not sure how he will be able to tell that everythings healing by just feeling around but I guess he knows what he's doing!!! I am eager to get preggers soon. I wish that I could be as positive as KM!!! I'm trying to think positively but it's like watching paint dry waiting on my go ahead to ttc! It's very difficult to go through 5 months of pregnancy, lose the baby, wait 3 months for surgery then be told that we have to wait another 6 months before we can even try again. I think that I'm still pretty depressed and there are days that I still can't believe what happened. But I know that a lot of you have been through similar situations so you can understand. Hopefully I'll get the ok soon and get a BFP soon after that! Everyone take care and baby dust to all. KB

Healing, Congratulations on your 21 weeks!!! A baby girl... YEAH! I'm just wondering are your doctors treating your pregnancy as a high risk? I'm asking because my dr said that when I do get pregnant it will be considered high risk. I'm just wondering what does that mean? Are there more visits, more ultrasounds or what? How are they treating this pregnancy different if they are? Thanks for keeping us all informed. Also, you may have already mentioned this in an earlier post but are you scheduled for a c-section due to the AM? KB

KB, I know what you're going through. I lost my baby in March 07 and didn't have the myo until Oct 07 and was told to wait another 5-6 months after that . . . very frustrating. 2007 was a bad year for me. To answer your questions, yes, I'm having a c-section because of the myo. My myo was abdominal, and the surgeon had to dig in there pretty deep to get the fibroids out, so he made me promise to get a C-section. No, I'm not considered high-risk. You would think because of my surgery I would be, but no, the docs are treating my pregnancy just like any other pregnancy . . . I guess that's a good sign! High risk does usually mean additional monitoring and ultrasounds. Hope that helps.

Healing...It's good to hear that your pregnancy is going extremely well! You are an example of a positive outcome after going through such an ordeal. I am currently in the process of my second IVf cycle. We hope that this cycle gives us good news! Sasha~

Hi all! Good luck Sasha, i am praying for you from this part of the world!. Congratulations Healing! I am on week 29 and I was told also that I will have a c-section on week 39, October 20 KB don´t know why you should be having a high risk pregnancy. in my case the doctor told me that everything will be normal except from the last part of it. The last months are the more difficult ones. They try to avoid you to go into pre birth labor so you have no risk of uterine rupture. Appart from that everything is normal. Hope I can hold her in until the end!
