Pregnancy Info HOME

Morning All, Lovemy3, I'm so sad for you. It's really frustrating & way too emotional. I wish I had something really profound to write that would make you feel better, but I don't. This whole process has gone from something fun to sad. I'm right there w/ you. You're not alone. I kind of gave up a little this month. After my binge coffee drinking when I got my AF & my heavy lifting, I haven't been able to stop. I'm just so pessimistic that I didn't even get OPK's. Last night I started to question whether we should even have another one. (AND I DO, but you start questioning everything, right?) Well, I wasn't really into bding last night, cause of the whole s_x on demand & questioning. Plus my husband's timing wasn't right (probably my lack of enthusiasm), so he doesn't think he fully unloaded if you know what I mean. ANd best of ALL, I'm like 99% sure todays my "O" day. So I'm quite disheartened. I'm just trying to keep in mind that there are pregnant women on this post that have tried way longer than us & are now preggers. Of course I don't want to have to wait as long as some of them, but it's out of our hands. So I say drink up that double latte w/ an extra shot of espresso, cry & have your pity party...I'll listen and then join me back here in our quest to conceive.

Thanks KD, time is really runnuing out for me. I will officially be 38 now when this baby is born and my son will have turned 4 in july 2007, time is ticking. I'm mostly annoyed because it becomes all consuming, I have 3 kids, 2 of which who are still home during the day and not in school full days and here i am so wrapped up in ttc that I am mentally missing time with them, before I know it, next sept they are off to school. I think my weight is most likely playing a role at least 50 heavier than conceiving before. the story just goes on and on... really don't even know if i want to keep trying, just get rid of the 20 rubbermaid containers of past cloethers, baby swings, crib high chair it all and move on. Like for goodness sake, I have 3, what is wrong with me? anyhow, as you can tell my mood sucks, so I should go for now thanks for everything, XOXO

Oh, LM3, I'm so sorry about af. I know it's not easy seeing it come month after month. But keep in mind that there doesn't seem to be any reason why you can't get pg again, just that it can take a while as we get older. Take some time to concentrate on treating yourself well and doing some things that will make you feel good about yourself, and if it's meant to be, I think it will happen eventually. take care, sweetie... HOPEFUL - so glad everything went well yesterday! SANN - congrats on arriving in the 2nd tri... wish I was there with you! KD, sorry you've been down... I hope it all works for you this month. Maybe it's better that you're taking a break from the opks... I know that for me sometimes they added to the stress. I really think that the hypnotherapy combined with the progesterone was what finally helped me to conceive... I'm sure there's a big mind-body connection, so whatever you can do to put yourself in a good frame of mind will probably help (and certainly can't hurt). I'm rooting for you! I've gotta go eat some breakfast now. Had my puking session first thing (yay - and SANN, I do try to look on the bright side of the m/s, but it's hard after 4 weeks!) and I think I'm ready to tackle some toast. ttyl...

Hello ladies, I am sorry I did not write before, I am so happy for you hopeful about the good NT results, it must be a calming, I am really happy for you. lovemy3, next month is around the corner, just hang in there. Sann, congratulations on your 2nd trimester mark, which is a relief I know. Val, good to hear you are doing well as will. My update, I am not in my best shape today, I think I am trying hard to snap at any moment. Yesterday my doctor, gave me a referral for my first ultra sound, this morning we went to the lap, hoping to see something me and my husband, and the technician did not give us any information, I thought I will be like anybody else, coming back with a picture, she did not even tell me if she can see anything or not, although I asked her, she said she cant tell me anything and my doctor should tell me. So now, I am setting on my desk, freaking out, don’t know what to do, waiting for my doctor to call. I can’t believe she did that. I am sure all of you feel what I am going through right now. I am really sad and don’t know what to do. TTYL

typo : I am trying hard NOT to snap at any moment

Col... try to stay calm. Some techs are like that, won't give any info at all. Some are kinder and will talk to you like hopefuls did. Will the dr call you today for sure do you think? Did the tech say he would or did they say "he'll be in touch when the results are in?" What week are you in now? I know you must be beside yourself, try and stay calm, post when you know, hugs.

Oh lovemy3, thanks for the kind words, I am just all over the place, she was so mean to me. After I finished my u/s we went to see our doctor, and his nurse called the lap, they promised to send the results today. I just called me doctor, they did not get them yet, they asked me to call in 1 hour. I am 8weeks 2 days today, I was really hoping to see something, or at least tell me the baby is in the right place. I am trying to keep the faith, and be optimistic, but it’s really hard. I feel so bad ladies that I did not comment on all of your posts, but I hope you give me an excuse. Thanks so much lovemy3, I was really hoping I will find one of you ladies. I will keep you posted TTYL

Hi Col, Any news? Hoping all is well, watching for your update, XOXO

Hey lovemy3, nothing so far, I don’t think they care. It’s obvious I have to wait until tomorrow. I don’t know how it will be tonight, but I will try to take it easy if I can. Thank you so much for your care.

Thats too bad, waiting thru the night. Often dr's will call later in the evening, when they looking over the day, etc. That has happened to me on more than one occasion. The good news is, if it was anything serious, they send you directly over from the lab to the dr;'s. While you are in the lab, they call it over and say the dr will speak to you now. That is how it has worked for all my friends that have had bad news, so that a positive for your situation. I think all be just fine, hang in there, try not too stress.

There is so much for me to catch up on, and I will have to save that for later, but I just wanted to say to Val that YES I have had experience with Strep B. Before I did my injectable cycle, they wanted it cleared up so they could do the IUI since DH had it too and they didn't want us to keep pa__sing it back and forth, which we were. Anyway, I took a lot of antibiotics and so did DH and we did not have s_x for the longest time because of it. They said we could if we used a condom, but DH wanted nothing to do with a rubber, so he went without until we both got the all clear. They will check me again before I give birth so it's not transmitted. My docs office said sometimes people are just carriers. Anyway, I am on antibiotics (Amoxicillan) right now for my sinus infection that I have been avoiding treating. I sure hope these babies come out normal since I've had to take such a variety of things.

Oh lovemy3 - I'm so sorry not to have been online to support you more yesterday. I'm gutted that your AF came when everything seemed to be going in the right direction for you this time. Perhaps your body and its symptoms were a practice run for next month - I really hope so. Don't give up - please!! - but try to relax as much as you can for the next few weeks and, like Val said to KD, maybe you should take a break from the OPKs etc. and just let it happen as all the stress of tests may actually be preventing nature from taking its true course. The one thing I first liked about you is that your "name" shows how truly dedicated you are to your children and I think that is absolutely fantastic and you should be very proud of yourself for that. Well done! Also I think it's great that you're trying to lose some weight. That is bound to make you feel more confident about yourself so give that goal as much attention as you can. Try to stay positive and keep posting (especially as KD is such a great support!) KD - how are you today? You sounded quite philosophical about the whole situation in your last post so I hope you're still feeling good. Col - I really feel for you at the moment. What a horrid situation to be in. I really don't understand it when doctors and technicians can be so unfeeling. I thought part of their job was to have a sympathetic bedside manner. Try to forget about the fact that they were so unsupportive and focus on the fact that no news is good news. I know it's hard but it's not healthy to worry and you don't yet know if there's any need to worry. (I know this is a bit rich coming from me - the professional worrier - but I can say that it's usually turned out OK in the end!) Val - so sorry that your morning sickness is still bothering you. Not long to go now. Tracy - How are you today? Update when you can. TTY all L! Big Hugs and Belly Rubs to all!

Good morning, I'm so worried about Col. Once again I hope no news is good news. I wish I was here to talk yesterday, LM3 thank goodness you were around for her. LM3, I'm glad you're feeling better today & that your hubby was supportive. It makes a big difference. plus having a plan is a great idea. it makes you have a bit of control over something that you have little control over. A friend of mine was telling me about some proceedure she had done where air was b__wn thru her Fallopian tubes to clear them & she got pregg immediately afterwards. Anyone know what this is? I haven't had a chance to do any research. I'm pretty sure I "o'd" yesterday (cramping), so we got in one more bd. I'm offically in the 2ww again.Sann congrats on the 2nd trim. Val & Tracey, I hope you're truly reaching the end of m/s & can start really enjoying this preg. have a good day.

Hi KD, I'm not 100% but I think the procedure is called an HSG. Thats good you got to BD yesterday, so now we'll wait it out together. Have a ballpark day for testing? I looked at my calendar and looks like Christmas day at disney will be a test day...yay or nay I suppose-lol. Did you use an opk's this month or do you really feel like you o'd? Lets hope this is your month. Maybe I will just end up being a consultant on this board-lololol. Anyhow, thats really it here, ttyl p.s kd...did you have ewcm?

LM3.... I can totally relate to the accountability thing and you are not crazy for needing it. I had a gym membership for 8 months and went probably like four times until my husband surprised me for my birthday and sprung for a personal trainer/nutritionist. I saw him once a week for four months, had to keep a log of what I ate, how many calories I burned, and what routine I did. Let me tell you, I was in the gym five to six days a week for at least two hours a day and loved it. The accountability makes such a huge difference. I'm terribly sorry you got AF. I've been down that road and it's a bumpy road!!! You sound strong and have a plan though, so you are on the right track. COL, I don't even know what to say, except that I'm sorry you are being put through hell right now. Somebody should have spoken with you right away, not just sent you home. I really hope things are well with you and that you come back and tell us everything is ok. SANN, congrats on the 2nd trimester!! I am two weeks away I guess. I am in week ten, so does it count when you make it to twelve or past twelve? Hopeful, how are you feeling? Val, let me tell you, the other night in the ER they gave me Phenergan for nausea and for most of that day my nausea was gone, so I went and got my prescription filled and have taken it twice since then and I feel great. I felt so good yesterday that I told DH that I didn't even feel PG anymore.......scary! I am so nervous for my U/S this Friday. I'm scared to hear bad news. I keep telling myself that I'm sure I am still PG though because they took blood and urine in the ER and would have told me otherwise, don't ya think? Well, the weather here finally cooled down a little bit. I love winter time and never get to experience it unless I go visit my sisters or something.

Hi tracy....friday will be a great day for you..you will get to see your little babies. they would have saw something in your bloodwork in the e.r if there was a problem, try not too stress. I wish it was warm here!! today my kids wore their ski jacket to school with mitts and a scarf.. no snow yet, but very cool, around the freezing mark...brrrrr. 50 more days till Disney for us, maybe I will get a positive on christmas day, that 2 test days from now. How long had you tried for before stepping up the measures? Hope everyone is doing well today. Hope we hear from Col soon, thats so horrible to have to go through. ttyl
