hey to all the new girls! well, i did have s_x before the end of the six week celibate period. that's what the docs told me. but it was protected, because we had the shot, so we didn't want to get preg with that drug in my system. after the six week, thing, we started back up, and we got preg. but it was pretty scary too. we hoped this one would stay because i didn't have a period in between. but so far...everything's good. as for the docs down here in texas, i have to go to a new patient orientation at the veterans dept. then i can make my first appt. yay!! so both of the J girls got a positive? that's awesome!! To all the newbies, i am sorry for the circ_mstances that brought you to us, but we welcome you. we all need someone who has had similar situations, because sometimes, your close friends either don't know, or understand. but everyone think good things. there is a reason all this has happened. Baby Dust to you*.*.

Hi all, well just got my internet back up I have been lost without it. I took an OPK on Saturday and I came up positive very quickly, DH and I had BD'ed Friday morning and then agian Saturday night.... We had been every since my AF left, well every other night or morning. I had been saving my HPT in my closet in the bathroom and just had to pee on it yesterday knowing that it was to early so that was a waste.. anyhwho! I am glad to see that everyone is doing great and please keep in touch ladies.

Hi, ladies! Lajaune, I hope you caught that egg!!! Rachel, congrats on getting to the trying point again! Tiffany, I agree with April--maybe you're having a particularly powerful ovulation this month from the left side! Good luck and I hope that you continue to heal well from the surgery. Thank you to all of you for the thoughts, prayers, good vibes, and advice for my u/s and insurance. I'll have to check on the insurance because when I went in the other day, the agent told me that I couldn't get insurance anywhere! Hmmm... Tiffany, I believe that my hCG went from 550 to 3 in under a week, and I'm a__suming that it went from 3 to 0 (or not pregnant) within a day. I ovulated soon after, and no, we weren't using protection. We never heard anything from the doc about whether or not we could try and several accounts told us that we could try when the levels were back at 0, even with metho.!
I had my u/s and everything looks fine. Well, sort of. I don't like my doc and she has a terrible bedside manner. She was overly frank, but not very forthcoming with certain answers. Anyway, I could see the heartbeat and it's measuring at 171bpm! I have a larger gestational sac (measuring about 2 weeks ahead), but it could be due to a vanishing twin. There was a weird blip on the screen...other indicators also point to it. She said I had a large yolk sac, which caused some panic, but I think it's ok. I'm feeling terrible, and I'm very happy about it. :) DH is thrilled and cradles the u/s picture whenever he can. Keep praying/thinking about me and that this continues to go well. It's the most positive pregnancy we've had so far! And how is everyone else today???

Hello Ladies, Well my hcg are at 29 now and I'm excited to see it at 0 so we can start soon. I think my hormones are all screwed up my b___bs are sore and I have cramping sometimes like I'm going to start my af but it never comes, My b___bs always get sore about 1 week before I get my af. It makes me nervous sometimes, I don't want to get pregnant until I at least have 1 af . We have been using protection so I'm just thinking to much. Me and my husband went skiing yesterday and I'm so sore I seem to be alot more tired after they gave me that shot of methodextrate, did anyone else feel tired for a while. I had it on the 28th of Dec. Skiing was not easy being so tired I think not being able to eat anything with folate/ folic acid is getting to me I need bread or pasta hurgggg! All are in my prayers. Jessica can you switch to cobra on your old insurance call them and try even if you was cancelled. Just ask them !!! And keep your beliefs up maybe you do have twins they just can't see them both yet. Everyone take care God Bless.

Good Morning Ladies!! Well today is cd 10 so me and DH get to start BD!!! My neighbor told my DH that she was pg and he told her not to tell me bc he thought that I would be upset bc they were not trying and their son is 16 months old. I told him that I'm over it and it would of been more hurtful to keep it from me bc she's going to be showing soon! Besides I was holding my new nephew and teasing her saying this is what you need, talking about another baby, and she didn't say anything so I knew right then that she was pg. Oh well. It's funny how DHs mean well but it doesn't come out that way. :-) GOOD LUCK to all that are trying this month and ALL of you are in my PRAYERS!!!

hey all. Boy, i remember when we only had three girls in here! it's good and bad we're all here. as for the little one, i think i have felt something move. i was lying in bed the other morning, and i felt a VERY fast heart beat. i knew it wasn't mine. but sometimes i feel stuff moving, but i do have alot of gas. girls, get ready for that!! and burping, and peeing, and having to b__w your nose ALOT! but i know for me, it seemed to take forever to get to this point. i am almost 4 1/2 months along now. my first appt down here in Texas is the 15 of feb. the veterans dept here, can't really do OB stuff, so they have to send me to a hospital, which is fine! but i am very excited to see it in more of a human form, instead of an alien looking thing! i have my first ultrasound framed, and i listen to the heartbeat recording we have. my DH recorded it at the appt with his cell phone! hee hee! well, i will keep ya'll updated, my internet was down for a few days, bout killed me! keep trying!

Cara--yes, we were treated with it for having a pregnancy in a different place than where it was supposed to be. The doctor's told us it was for stopping rapidly developing cells from growing. In your case, the cancer cells, and in our cases, fetal (beginning human) cells. If the doctor's didn't destroy what was growing in us, it would have killed us.

Hi Girls, how is everyone doing? I go see the doc on Feb 2. Yah! Finally! I hope to hear the heartbeat. That would take alot of worry off! She is doing a prenatal exam. I will also mention to have a u/s done too. I hope she will agree with my past history. I have been feeling good. I am mostly tired, hungry and the b___bs are sooo sore at night! Lajaune, I hope you get a BFP soon and also to all the new girls that have joined us! Talk to you all soon, Jody

Jody, try to make sure you get a really good bra to add alot of support. it helped mine, because they weren't moving around alot during the day, not that i have alot, but anything will helpthere's a really good site, i think it's baby connection. i got on to it from my baby registry at the wal-mart site. but it has some good info on it. sometimes it helps to take a warm shower or bath before you go to bed. think of overworked muscles...well, i hope you and jess are doing ok. good luck to everyone else....

Hello Ladies, Our church is praying over /for families that are having difficulties having a baby. I told myself that I would not get emotional, I could deal with them praying over other families and I did not need to go up to be prayed for well that was not the case I was surposed to have a praying hand for our situation ( Jesus guided me ) I started crying so bad that I was shaking not only did one person pray for us but three! It was a great feeling to know that God is working in our lives thru prayer and this is just the beginning. Prayer is a powerful thing and what got me at the beginnig of this I believe one thing was the demon/ Satan is going to work in you to get you not to submit to prayer this is what he was doing with me trying to conveince me I did not need prayer this is not true we all need prayer it is definitely scientific proven that having prayer and being prayed for helps us heal faster and better. We need to let God be with us and everything will be just great. If any of you would like for me to add you to my church prayer for anything especially for this at this time being this is one of the concentration but anything if needed just let me know. Just remember we all need Jesus we just need to let him in. Don't let satan convience you to keep Jesus out.
Romans 10:9 Jesus is the lord.
God Bless!

April you are so right!!! I am very involved in our church and I was just baptized yesterday! I am taking cla__ses to be a "leader" and our pastor told us in his sermon yesterday that we need to let all of our worries go bc God has already won and he is taking care of our worries!! I can definately feel him working in my life. I have a short story to share... My most recent pg which was #3, I was on clomid and my dr at the time said that it didn't work according to my cd 21 bw, well I went on a trip with the ladies of our church and before I left I got a BFN 2x, well I was supposed to pick up my next round of drugs on Thurday Oct 13, (a week after the trip)and I forgot to so I just has this feeling and Friday morn I woke up and took a test and it was +++++! In my prayers I had just asked to become pg, and so it was answered. I was not specific enough to say that I wanted to keep it and have a baby, even though I prayed and prayed after we found out that something was not right, but there is a reason for my loss. I found out the reason for my first loss pg #2, and it took a while but at least I found out. I don't know if I'll ever find out "why" for this one, at least while I'm here on earth. I would like to be prayed for bc the more prayers the better and I can also do the same for anyone at my church. I actually talked about this group at our last trip which was last weekend the 20th. Also I have a ? for anyone, my neighbor who I posted about is having pain on her right side and she's been into the dr 2x, but they can only see a sac on the us and one pole, her levels are barely doubling, (at 6 weeks) she has to go back today and I think she will be 7 weeks, did anyone have this and what was the out come? Tiffany
