Pregnancy Info HOME

Kim - I was reading your last post and I swear the hair on my arms and the back of my neck stood up! I am sitting here writting this and getting all these goose-bumps. I hope and pray that this is the one for you and hubby. I don't think dpo is too long - it takes a while for the implantation blood to expel from your body after the whole process meeting up with the egg, entering the egg and the journey up the tube - and if it's brownish (not red) then that means it is old blood. So....don't get caught up in the numbers - trust your intuition, trust your heart, your dream is wonderful I had a dream too, my husband was holding three babies and I told him that we could only keep one and we would know which one it was by the way it felt. Then I touched them and picked out one of them. I had two losses then came Joshua! So I would say to you.. wash your baby blankets, get the diapers ready and know that you are being prayed for. Honestly, you are being prayed for!!

Nancy - Thanks for your response and kind words. I heard back from my OB's office today and I had an FSH level of 7.4 from my second round of testing yesterday! I am so happy...just to know that I still have a chance on doing this on my own is wonderful. I have been TTC for a year but after this scare I will continue on and wait for my blessing. I know he/she will come in God's time. I just can't meet 'em!

Nancy - I meant I just can't wait to meet 'em!!!! Thanks again!

Nancy, and likewise your post put goose-bumps on my arms and tears in my eyes. You are in my prayers. I should have my quant_tative HCG and progesterone levels back from the Dr. today. I will keep you posted.

Hi Kim - I'm wondering if you have heard anything from the dr yet?..ahhhhh, this waiting is making me nuts, so I can only imagine what it is doing to you. I will breath and say a prayer - ;o]

Nancy, bad news. It was negative. My progesterone levels are very low as well. Oh well, we at least know what the problem is and can attempt the IUI again. I'm trying to keep my chin up and my att_tude positive. Thanks for your prayers.

I'm so very sorry Kim, I was hoping and praying that this would be the one. Don't forget the dream - hold onto that and don't lose hope. God did not bring you this far to drop you off. (I'm not giving up until your af shows up!) Please let me know what happens and take good care of yourself.

Well, af showed today. Been deep cleaning on the house to help get through another disappointment. I told dh last night (very hormonal of course) that each month af comes, I feel so lacking as a woman because I can't conceive. I know better, but when you get down you can really pick yourself apart. Feeling better this afternoon and ready to start making plans for 7 days from now. Thanks for your prayers Nancy, and I'm not going to forget that dream. Thanks for sharing yours.

Oh Kim, I am so sorry. What an emotional journey. When you shared about lacking as a women because of not being able to conceive - I have felt that too. Even though you have been able to conceive - fear sure sets in, doesn't it. This last time I was pg - you know - they had me on clomid and everything I had read about clomid suggested that with a good number of women it creates a hostile environment for dh sperm. They suggested that a spoonful of robitussin cough medicine three times a day helps maintain an environment with cm that aides in conception. I forgot until reading your post that the last bout I had with the clomid I bought some of that cough syrup (sugar free) and did that through-out my cycle - we also bd every other day, and that was the time in which I became pregnant. Maybe the syrup would help. When will you go for the IUI? - My heart hurts for you, but from everything I have had the pleasure of knowing about you, when that baby does come he/she has one heck of strong and loving mom (maybe next IUI you and hubby take the day off and go home and do it again!!). I have not had an af since the d&c, so I am beginning to think that it will never come......it is now 7 weeks....I will continue to pray for you and please let me know what how you are doing. Let's go give our children a great big hug!

hi, congratulations. i am 43, i am also into infertility workout. i am desperate na on having a baby. i don't think you should not be scared as long as you are visiting your ob and following his/her advised. i'll pray that you & your baby will be always be well until you finally give birth.

hi congratulations

hi congratulations toevery one.I an43 and 7 weeks pregnant.Its been 17 years since i have had a baby my husbands first, after a miscarriage, is any one suffering with their nerves? Iseem to be very tence cant seem to relax suffering with anxiety , any suggestions? not normaly a nerves person. also had a few internal sharp pains today is this normal? , no discomfort now

((((Kim)))) - I was wondering how you are doing????

Nancy, odd you asked today. I went for my second IUI this morning at 8:00. Had one Monday and the second one today. This time they did u/s each time before the IUI. Follicles were definitely ready. She used a different catheter today which she felt got it much further up in my cervix. Now the tww. I'm ready. 13 dpo will be our wedding anniversary. What a wonderful present that would be. Keep us in your prayers. How are you doing? Any BFPs yet? Are you back to ttc or still on hold? There was another older woman in the news which just had twins - Holly Hunter. Not sure if it was her eggs, but she did deliver them and they were her first.

They did it twice! Maybe YOU'LL have twins! HA - You are in my prayers. We haven't tried because I didn't have my af until Saturday! It was almost 8 weeks post d&c, but that was probably because of a bit of tissue that was left and took a couple of weeks to discharge. I'm thinking that I have gained so much weight that I am almost affraid to try again. After I lost the baby I just kept on eating - so I'm in between trying to get pg right away or taking off another month and trying to get in shape. We'll see what happens. Maybe it will just happen and I won't even have to decide! Let me know how everything goes with you - this is very exciting. Is it a new doctor??

No new Dr., this is my regular OB/GYN. After explaining bad experience with Infertility Spec. in Louisville, I asked if she would do an IUI, and she did. But the timing is very good this month and dh had a break between IUIs. If this doesn't take this time, we are going to a different specialist in Nashville, TN.
