Pregnancy Info HOME

Wonderful KKMS! Sounds like you've got a plan and will now work the plan! :) Two open tubes - marvelous! :) I'm still waiting. Actually, I'm not due until a few days so I shoould probably calm down. If not this time, three more tries. AHHHHHHHHHHH the waiting game! A part of life which I know all too well and accept with thanksgiving! :) Sasha~

Kat123, Healing, Joker, KM Williams...I hope I didn't forget anyone...I believe we are the latest women on this blog trying to get pregnant...well, how's it going for all of you? I haven't heard from several of you in a while. Please give us an update. :) BABY DUSTING TO US ALL!!!!!!! Sasha~

Sasha, not pregnant yet! We were cleared to start trying in March, but my hubby and I jumped the gun a little the last week of February! But my period came this week - three days late, so I thought for a second there that I might be pregnant. I didn't take a test though, and then Aunt Flo came with a vengeance. I'm never late, so it was weird that this cycle was off - maybe just a fluke or the first period after the HSG. So we're still trying. But my husband wants this to be as "natural" as possible, so no using fertility monitors or ovulation predictor kits. So no telling how long it will take us. But I'm optimistic!!! Good luck ladies!! Baby dust to all!!!!!

Hi Healing...I'm in the same boat as you - no pregnancy. I was so hoping that I was but I'm not. Three down and three months to go. It was a little sad for a second but, I am very hopeful that a pregnancy is in the near future. :) So, here we go towards month 4 of trying to make a baby! I will say that the fertility monitor was right on time though! On the day my cycle started, the fertility monitor was flashing the "m" symbol for cycle! I am going to continue using it for the next three months. I thiik I told you that if we're still not pregnant by month 5, I'm going to go on and make an advanced appointment with the fertility specialist so that I can get an appointment right after month six. It's all about being aggressive and pro-active as you very well know! I hope that this month is the month for you and I both Healing! :) = Sasha~

Hi Girls, just wanted to let you know I am here, reading your post everyday, doing well, just waiting for my time :-) and praying for all of you who are ttc right now.

Hi Katarinak! Thanks for your support! How much longer do you have to wait before ttc? What are your plans from this point on? It's like we're all on these different timelines but somehow or another we at some times seem to catch up with one another on the same path and then at times even surpa__s one another. Take for instance my situation. I have two girlfriends. I got pregnant first and then had a miscarriage. Girlfriend A got pregnant second and also had a miscarriage. Girlfriend B got pregnant last and also had a miscarriage. Girlfriend A who got pregnat second just had a baby boy. Girlfriend B who got pregnant last just had her baby shower yesterday. Her baby is due next month. I, who again was the first to get pregnant will now (hopefully) be the last to actually have a child. Isn't life funny? What's wonderful though is that there has been no stress in our friendships. I make certain of that. I truly know that my day will come. I've supported each of them in their pregnancies, making sure to attend showers, making sure to continue calling them a lot to hear pre-baby stories and I'll continue calling afterwards to hear present day baby stories. So, this is what I meant when I said that, "we're all on different timelines yet at times on the same timeline." Pretty soon, Katarinak, you'll be on the same timeline of many of us who are ttc here!!! :) Have a great afternoon! Sasha~

Joker...the other day after waking up, I, too, had a night of sweating. I told my husband I thought it was because I was so stressed out about two upcoming tests I had to take for work. Of course, I also had the stress of wondering if I was pregnant. He thought I was perhaps about to get sick with the flu or something. However, I'm on my cycle now and mayber you're right...maybe it is a__sociated with cycles. Although, it's only happened to me two or three times before over the last couple of years - it does not happen monthly. Please let me know if you get any info from your doctor. Sasha~

Hello, girls. It’s me. I am back. So sorry, my computer was not working… Hoping you all still love me… As you know, I had my twins on Feb 1st, 2008 at 8:27am and 8:29am. I am so in love. My daughter Samiya Elizabeth was 6lbs 3oz and my son Kenyatta Miles was 5lbs and 13oz. Delivery was alitte difficult. When the doctor opened me up my fibroid tumor had shifted to the forefront… Girls, I delivered my twins without a problem but my doctor also had to remove the fibroids which meant that he had to give me a Myomectomy. So, I had 2 surgeries. After seeing my beautiful kids, crying and having my hubby kiss me... The doctors asked my hubby to come and cut the cords and then I went black but I could hear my doctor yell “Quick, we need blood!”. I also remember hearing lots of people move around in a rush. I felt the curtain divider fall on me and someone picked it up and then I was out. I found out that I was bleeding so bad that I almost died on the table... My doctor couldn’t stop the bleeding after the 2 bloody surgeries. I woke up in the recovery room. I didn’t feel any pain at all just felt very weak. I was really drugged up. I didn’t know what happened as of yet… I knew it was something because too many doctors were coming in and everyone was so extremely nice. Dreamlike happy… I was in the recovery room for 3 days. They weren’t sure if I would have to go back in so they could open me up again… I found out that I had a blood transfusion. After 3 days, I got my own private room. Boy, was I in pain. Boy, did it hurt to put on the abdominal binder. Boy, did it hurt to urinate. I hadn’t walked yet so I am sure you guys could imagine the pain… My son was fine but my daughter was in NICU. Her calcium was low and she had yellow jaundice. My son was in the room with me most of the time. He was so beautiful and he was mine! I still hadn’t seen my daughter but my hubby had. He took pics on his cell to show me. She was a doll but it hurt to not see and touch her. So, the nurse took me down in a wheelchair. I saw her…. Oh, boy. What a beauty! And, she was mine too! So, I forced myself to walk day and night. Ended up having to get another transfusion on Day 6. Had a fever almost every single day. The highest was 103.4. Also, had trouble sleeping at night but I still got up and walked almost every hour around to the nursery or down to NICU. I was determined to think positive and get better bfor my family. I attended Breast Feeding cla__ses and started b___st feeding my son and pumping milk for my daughter. I was told that Breast Milk would be the best thing for my daughter… Doctors would not allow me to go home until my temp went down. It finally did on Day 9. Forgot to mention my swollen legs and feet…. On Day 9, my son and I went home. My daughter stayed until Day 12. Coming home made such a difference… I felt so much better. We went to the hospital daily so that I could b___st feed Samiya. Within 3weeks, my weight disappeared and I am smaller than I was before delivery. Look like was never preggo. Although, I still have a pooch. It was a joy and my family was complete when Samiya came home. Its been so wonderful and is such a blessing to have my twins. Thanks to God!!!! It was all worth it, girls! Went to my 6 wk appt yesterday and all is well. Doctor was surprised at the weight loss. Thank God for Breast Feeding! :o) Anyways, that is my story. I miss all of you. Gotta go read the thread now… Thanks for all of your support!!!!

Ms. Monet...WHAT A STORY! WHAT A BLESSING! WHAT A WOMAN YOU TRULY ARE MY DEAR!!!!! I literally cupped my hand over my mouth when reading about your birth story. Thank God that you survived post double surgery!!! I absolutely loved it when you said you were in love!!!! What beautiful names also!!! I shall never forget this story Ms. Monet! neither will your children as I'm sure they'll always want to ehar it over and over again. :) I'm sur your husband is in heaven as well filled with joy! Keep the stories of motherhood coming! Sasha~

MSMONET!!!! YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HAPPY I AM TO HEAR FROM YOU!!.. (taking caps off now) I was so worried about you and your babies, but now I'm so happy for you and your little ones. What a story girl! That is truly amazing..but you know what..I'm sure it doesn't matter now because you have you two beautiful little ones! I'm so filled with joy for you. I can't believe you lost all that weight so quick! You go girl! Enjoy every single minute of it! Wow! I'm still in shock about your story...keep posting and let us know how everything is going...Since the doc removed the fibroid..are you fibroid free now...was this the one they didn't remove before and just shaved it down! I'm glad its out..we should go play soccer with it..or just beat the c___p out of it for all the misery it caused..but we can't dwell on it now because in the end you won and got what you wanted...two as a matter of fact. Get some rest and keep in touch, I know I'm not the only one that is so glad to hear from you and know everything is great. Nothing much has changed from me..unable to TTC the last two months but things are back on track now. Hubby is going for a test next week to see if anything is up with his stuff..but other than that everything is well, staying positive and hoping for the best. I also have an appointment next Friday beacuse I think I have low estrogen because I have been getting night sweats a few nights before my period..the last one was really bad I soaked the bed, my clothes and everything else. I have diagnosed myself with having low estrogen based on those symptoms...I got a medical degree since you have been gone from the board..its amazing what you can find online :-) Take Care everyone

SASHA-I hate those dam fibroids. They removed two that grew to the size of a large fist. Ugghh! 3RD Myo. Cant do it again... So,glad about my twins. JOKER-Hey, girl! Wishing you all the best. Your dream will come true. I know it!

Ms. Monet, I just want to say congratulations and that we have been praying for you!!! And we will continue to pray for you and your beautiful babies!! You are an inspiration to all of us here. God Bless.

Thanks so much for the prayers. Its weird because I honestly felt days before that I would be near death. Can't explain it but I knew... Wasn't sure that I would live to take care of my babies... Thanks so much for the prayers, girls!

Hi everyone! How is everyone doing? DamaJ where are you? I hope you are doing great. Nothing much going on with me. Just the count down until hubby takes test and we are still TTCing this cycle, we'll see if Aunt Flo shows up in April or maybe depending on test results I'll know she is going to show up. God help me if this test comes back bad. I think I must be the most popular person around..I have what seems like a hundred baby showers to attend..holding this lump in my throat through all these showers is becoming harder and harder, but I press on and bear through it and wish everyone the best (which I mean 100% with all my heart) then make an exit hold the tears back long enough to get home and make it pa__s my husband and have my melt down. This is getting very old, I'm tired of doing that but just when I think I am going to be OK, here comes another "WTH? OMG? I'm pregnant! Can you believe this? I don't know how this happen? How could this have happen? What am I going to do? etc etc" announcement. Take Care everyone. I'm just venting. Wishing you all the best, take care and keep in touch.

Hi All - Joker I can definitely feel your pain. Today is the one-year anniversary of my miscarriage. I recall laying in the hospital last year, just thinking that I can probably get this fibroid thing "fixed" right away, and then go on to have a baby. Never would I have thought that a year later, I wouldn't even be pregnant yet. And yet, here I am, getting misty-eyed at what could have been and looking at an unknown future. I know I'll have a baby one day, but who knows when that day will be? And like you Joker, I have friends who are getting pregnant left and right. One of them is a close friend, and I have a suspicion that I may have to host the baby shower. I love her, I really do, and I'm happy for her, but it still hurts. One year later, and it still hurts. Anyway ladies, let's keep our heads up, and thanks for this board. Sometimes I feel like nobody else on the "outside" understands, and/or they are tired of hearing about it.

Hi all! Ms Monet congratulations for the twins! Can´t believe all you had been through, I read your post and some tears of emotion showed in my eyes.! I am so glad about the happy ending,I can imagine how beautiful this might be for you. I started also to get worried about you but Joker kept telling she must be busy with the twins, don´t worry! Well done, I can´t even imagine how difficult it may have been to go through the two surgeries but in the end it was totally worth!. Joker and healing, don´t get dissapointed, keep on thinking positive, it´s incredible how your mind makes wonders!. I know it´s not easy, but then you see Ms Monet, and the others and you know that you are not alone in this. I also think everytime something happens, why on earth does this happen to me?. Then you enter into a forum where there at least 20 cases that are similar to yours, and don´t feel so lonely and bad. You know the month before getting pregnant I had a delay of three days also, and I am as punctual as a swiss clock, I think unconsciously I didn´t want to have my period. I am fine, I took a week for Easter break and went to a resort nearby. I stayed there very calm, doing barbecues and home made pizzas at night with some friends. Long naps, beach walking during the day. I am doing my homework following doctor´s advise thoroughly. Next ultrasound will be done in two weeks...so I am just waiting....
