Hello everyone...wishing you all baby dust. Isabelle made her way into this world on March 14 at 11:15 a.m. she was 7lbs 4 oz. 20 inches. The doctor stripped my membranes on the 13th and it sent me into labor early in the morning of the 14th. They broke my water at 8:30 and I started pushing a bit before 11:00 a.m. It was a very easy deliver. 5 contractions and she was here. We are doing great, except for I have a sinus infection and she is getting a cold now as well. I am going on antibiotics today and awaiting a call from the pediatrician for her. Breastfeeding is going well and she sleeps great! The only time she cries is when she is hungry or getting her diaper changed. Good luck to all of you!

Becky, Ok I wasnt aware that you had longer cycles. What causes that to happen? I know lots of woman have 45, even 60 day cycles. So that means that you would ovulated late in your cycle. But the luteal phase would still stay the same - about 14 days?? I still think this is your month :) Just a feeling I have, unless Im totally wrong with the timing of your luteal phase. But you have all the symptoms!!!!! Do you think you can try to go for the blood work again? That way you will be sure..... Im 5DPO now, having some cramping and (TMI) creamy mucus, but Im not due till the 1st and I cant honestly recall if I get these PMS signs this far from when Im due.... OH well!!!!! so the wait conitnues :( Let me know how your doing and if you will test again.. Im throwing truck loads of baby dust to you!!!!! :) Mary Ellen

CONGRATULATIONS TAMMY!!!! And a Big WELCOME TO THE WORLD Baby Isabelle!!!! That is so awesome, I figured she made her way that week.... Im so glad that everything went well for you and that you are both doing so great. The delivery sounded like a peice of cake...so Im sure #2 wont be too far behind :) Ok OK, Im only kidding, can you tell Im a little bit in the baby mode. Is there any way you can post pictures of her on here? Id love to see the little munchkin... So who does she look like, mommy or daddy?? Write back when you have time (which Im sure wont be anytime soon) and enjoy this magical time with your baby girl :) xoxoxoxo Mary Ellen

Mags, this is #2 for us!!!! We have a 2.5 yr. old boy as well. So I think we may hold off for a while....there may be a #3,but not for at least 4 yrs. She looks like mommy......you can see a little bit of daddy, but I know she will look more like me when she gets older!! There is no way to post pictures on here.........I do have a website that me and some other march mommies started up a while ago, but then we started a yahoo one instead.....it hasn't been used in a while, but when i get a free minute, I will post a picture of her on there and then I will post the web address on here for you.

Mary Ellen- I took a test Friday and of course a BFFN! Oh Well…..not much I can do now but wait. I have relaxed a little too, so it’s okay. Because I have such long cycles I thought that ovulation would come later too, but it came on cycle day 10 last month, however still no AF. Maybe my luteal phase is a little out of whack….I have an appt on Thursday to have st_tches removed and I will ask her then about the blood test then. I am not keeping my hopes up though, just trying to relax. I still want a baby but stress is not good for anyone ttc and I am overly stressed all the time anyway. I will keep you posted and I will check back daily to see how you are and hope to hear soon that you get your BFP!!!!! Tons of Baby Dust. Good luck bgoins3 at cox . net ps. I'm not really sure what causes the longer cycles....some are 21 days and some are 56 days or in between....strange and frustrating to say the least.....good luck.

Hey Tammy, Oh ok, I apologize...I guess I dont know the whole history so I just a__sumed that it was your frist. So then you are practically a pro at this :) How are you and baby Isabelle feeling? I hope that she didnt get the cold too bad. Id love to see her, whenever you get a chance - let me know when you posted a picture and Ill go check her out. So how are you feeling?? Is it real crazy with 2 little ones now? Mary Ellen

Becky, So you tested and got a negative??? Hmm... Im not a doctor so I have no idea what it can be, but it sure did sound to me as though you were pregnant. You had some of the majors signs I think.... The luteal phase is supposed to be 14 days right? Can it be shorter or longer and still be ok - with no risks?? Well when you go to have your stiches out, see if they will do a blood test and then you will know for sure. Do you have any other symptoms? Are you still feeling as though you are pregnant? Gosh, Im really hoping for you!!!!! You are in my thoughts :) Im feeling ok I guess, having cramps since the day I O'd which I think is weird since Im not due till 4/1 and Ive had a lot of CM too. Then a few nights this past week my gums bled when I was brushing my teeth, which happens to me every once in while. Im sure its just a coincidence, but of course Im kinda like - hmmm....??? Still trying to hold out hope but I have NO other signs or anything like most of the girls do. No sore bb's, no implantation bleeding. The only other thing...which i dont think I have mentioned. I have an acoustic neuroma (brain tumor on my balance nerve) so I have epiosde of feeling off balance, spinning etc. But I have been fine since September and then Tuesday I got the motion sickness and feeling off a little....again, Im sure its just another episode...and not what Im hoping for. But of course my mind is not thinking :( But other then that, I have nothing at all - so Im sure Ill be on to next month. Just wish AF would come so I could work on my 4th cycle. Let me know when and if you test again or what the doctor says... My fingers are crossed for you :) I still REALLY think, that this is your month!!!! :)) Tons of sticky baby dust to you................ Mary Ellen

Mary Ellen- I wish I could give you the news I was hoping to share, but I can’t. I went to the dr today for the suture removal and I spoke to them about not having my period. They did a pg test and it was negative. All of the symptoms I was having are gone, I guess they were just psychosomatic. I have had them before. On my long cycles I should have started yesterday and still nothing. I just need to relax and try to wait it out. I really want another baby, but I am over weight and under a lot of stress. Those two alone are cause for problems, but combine them and it’s worse. Right now I have an appt next week to get everything checked and make sure I am internally ok. I am working on losing weight and reducing my stress level, so maybe in another couple of months I can get pregnant. Of course I am not going to stop trying, just take steps. How are you feeling today? Getting close to AF time? Let’s hope she doesn’t show….I am praying for you. Tons of baby dust.

Mary Ellen-I started spotting today and AF should be full b__wn by tomorrow. I did have a pap scheduled and some tests to check my tubes, but I guess I won't be needing that. I get to start again, which is okay for me. I am not currently in my two week wait but will be soon. How are you? Have you started? you were supose to the 1st right? or today? I am hoping that there is good news from your end. My fingers are crossed and I am sending baby dust your way.

Hey Mary Ellen, I haven't seen you on here lately, did you start? Have you gotten a BFP yet? my email is b goins at cox dot net .......no spaces...drop me a line if you can. Good Luck...tons of baby dust.

Hey Becky, I tried sending you an email to b goins at cox dot net and it got returned....??? Did I get it wrong??? I started my period on the 28th of March so Im waiting to Ovulate now LOL... On to another month!!!! So you got your period, well at least you know there is nothing wrong as far as that is concerned...So now you're waiting to O too - :) we can wait together.. email me at maglathlins at verizon dot net.

I'm bloated but no sore b___sts, can test next Saturday, fingers crossed for a positive for both of us!

I went through a recent miscarriage in June and ended up trying again in august on the first day of being fertiled. I don't think that I am pregnant because I have bin recieving the normal menstrual cycle sign and I am suppose to get it some time this week. I am a bit worried because the same pains I felt couple days before finding out I was pregnany and before having the misscarriage have began occuring again. I am very sure that they are the same pains because the month before I had a normal period and didn't feel these extreme pains that comes and goes. They were not that bad in the begining but now they have gotten to the point where it I stand they accur what do you think is the problem?

Hi Mystic, it's still early days - don't know if you would get such pains so early in a pregnancy. What's the news, did u get ur period? If pains are bad, maybe a Dr appt would be a good idea. I'm in the 2 week zone. af due on Sep 14. Dum dee dum, anyone else out there sharing my impatience!?

Hey girls! Im here as well...this is hard...i miscarried and this will be try one after...hard times!
