Pregnancy Info HOME

I'm not sure, I didn't really get a "chance" to spot. I had to have emergency surgery the next day. I think I remember others saying that they did bleed afterwards. I'm sorry about what you are going through. Did your doc tell you how long you have to wait to try again? I've heard different things from different docs.... Good Luck and my prayers are with you! ~Tiffany

My doctor says I do not need to have a visit with him so at this point I am only just doing blood work once a week util my HCG levels are down to 0. Today I am scheduled to draw blood again. Most of my questions are being anwered through this forum. I read on the internet that it is safe to wait 3 months if you've had 1 shot of metho before trying again. I my just do that for safety

Where has everyone been?? Well here is my update. I did NOT o this month so now I'm on day 6 of provera, they are upping my dose of clomid to 100mg. I just called and asked if I could take my left over progesterone suppositories after I o to help things.... I hope everyone is doing great! Thoughts and prayers are with everyone! ~Tiffany

Tiffany- come over to TTC after M/C part 5. There is a lot of woman TTC there and you would totally belong. Some of us finally conceived after our miscarriage(s) and still post. Lots of great women and support there. :)

Hey girls, just wanted to let everyone know, my daughter was born on may 26, 5 weeks early! she weighed 5 lbs, 4 oz, and is perfectly healthy! good luck to you all!!

Navyboo- holy c___p, I wasn't expecting that one. :) I thought you still had a while. Wow does time fly!! It feels like only yesterday us talking about you being just over 20 weeks. WOW! So glad that everything is OK. Do you or they know what caused preterm labor?? I had it threatened but stopped and had my son on May 5th, only 4 days early. He weighed 7lbs. 8oz. with a head full of blonde hair. Did you get the pics? If not, my link to my journal is www.babycrowd.com/jr/online/daniella/

Once again CONGRATS!!! Gotta post your labor story and/or Email it to me. Hows the sleep?? hehe

Melissa- CONGRATS!!! I'm glad she is doing well! Wow, time flies!!! Jody

ok, my labor story. on thursday the 25, i was playing on the computer around 10:45 or so. i felt some wetness, and thought " ok, great, i just peed myself" so as i was getting up, it kept coming. i was kinda dumbstruck. then i waddled in the bathroom, and it just kept coming. i looked down at my underwear and shorts, then it hit me. MY WATER JUST BROKE!! so i started yelling for DH, that didn't work, so i started banging on the wall, and he busts in the door, all mad, yells, "WHAT??!" at the moment he saw my face, and i told him, he starts running up and down the hallway, grabbing a backpack, and frantically grabbing and stuffing things in it. i wasn't having what they told me contractions were. all i had was some menstrual like cramps that came every so often. (regularly) we go to the hospital, they put me in a room, and start checking me. i was dilated to 2 and 90% effaced. they checked the fluid and said it was amnio, so they said i had to stay. well, for the next 5 hours, the cramps got stronger and more painful, and i decided to get the epidural. the guy told me to give him 10 minutes, he was done in 2, and i love that guy!!!! almost immediately, the contractions lessened in intensity, then they checked me again in an hour, and i was up to 9, started pushing, the pressure was unbelieveable!!! they wheel me into the delivery room, and on the way she was coming down fast. we get in there, and the contractions stop. everyone's looking at me all spread out, and nothing! then i felt pressure again, three pushes...i had to stop. i looked in the mirror on the wall in front of me, and can see her head, i ask the doc if i can push. he said if i had the energy, and out she came. i just started crying, and saying "oh my god look!!! " it was so surreal. like a dream. she has blonde hair like her dad, and long arms and legs. she's so sweet and soft, i really don't mind having to wake up every two hours. it hasn't been too bad, except for my husband's 8 yr old. kid's been driving me INSANE!!!!! has to be attached to me 24 hours a day, asking the same questions over and over again. won't leave me alone!!! but other than that, it's all good, and i'll probably have another one someday!!! i also just barely tore. just a few st_tches. Girls....you'll love the epidural and the anestheseologist!!! i told mine i did!!! it's not as bad as they say, or what you think. ~Melissa

Melissa- I hope my labor goes that well! What did you name her again? I am 26 weeks and got tested today for gestational diabetes. I hope I don't have it! I have been feeling great and can't wait to see my little one! I am so happy for you! Take care of yourself and your little girl!

Melissa- Hey did you check out my labor story? Yours was pretty close to mine except my water bag had a leak and started at 6am and wasn't until 9pm that it got worse and finally hit me to go in. I was still in denial until it hit the indication paper and turned bright blue so fast. LOL.. They said the same thing, that I wasn't going home pregnant this time> LOL.. Oh, and I was 4 cm dilated when I got there. But, I was 4 cm for a week or so and 3 cm for many weeks before that. Oh, and the other thing like yours is I didn't have any contractions either, just cramps so they had to shoot me with pitocin (the smallest dose) just to jump start it and that was at midnight... I gave birth at 11:36am. So, I was in active labor for about 12 hours... didn't get an epi though until it was too late. LOL>.. if that makes sense... I was going a drug free labor until after so many hours I finally had enough with the pain and was real tired so I gave in. Well, once he stuck it in my back, I felt baby coming, so he never finished it. But, thats ok, because only in a few pushes he came out. FOr some reason my contractions stopped once I hit 10cm and was pushing. So, they had to up the pitocin just to get the contractions to push. Took only about 4 pushes, but in 26 minutes because the contrations were over 5 minutes apart.

Hi...It's been quite a while since I posted, but I've been checking in pretty regularly. I had a lap surgery to remove an ectopic on 4/9 (I had the meth shot on 4/7 but that obviously didn't work!) So the common wait time is 3 months or 2 complete cycles to ttc, even though my dr said 1 month would be sufficient. So now I'm torn. I'm due to o any day (probably tomorow) and dh and I are looking forward to ttc. This is my 2nd cycle. I know that nobody can tell me it will be 100% fine if we try, but it would be so exciting to try...though I could NEVER forgive myself if we were to conceive and something was wrong with the baby because of my selfishness. Sorry, I just needed to rant. Dh is sick anyway, so maybe that's a sign.

Where is everyone? How is everybody doing?

CD 11 Well I took my last round of the clomid in hopes this will be it for us. Even though the dose was higher, I did not have the side effects as the last 2 times. I took it an hour before I went to bed. I'm taking Robitussin, to help with the cm, and I asked my doc about the progesterone suppositories and he said no. I don't know why, I talked to the nurse and did not have time to ask. I took an opk test last night and it was +, my DH seen it and he said "did I just see 2 purple lines?" and I said yes, be ready this week to bd!!! We are going to "try" to bd in the am, just bc he works construction and gets hot, and that could probably be affecting his swimmers.... Good Luck to everyone whether ttc, pg, or have little ones now. May God Bless You All Abundantly! ~Tiffany

Hey all! sorry, life got really busy after the baby came! :) things have been getting into a sorta routine. i think i'm used to sleeping in 2 hour blocks! somedays, i really think i'm losing it, and other days i'm doing great. but my DD is just a sweetie and is doing awesome for a preemie. she was 5 weeks early. well, hope everyone else is doing ok. as for the ones trying, try to relax. trust me i know it's hard. have a good week!
