Calling All Women of Strength!!!

A Strong Woman VS. A Woman Of Strength


A strong woman works out every day to keep her body in shape…
But a woman of strength builds relationships to keep her soul in shape.

A strong woman isn't afraid of anything…
But a woman of strength shows courage in the midst of fear.

A strong woman won't let anyone get the better of her…
But a woman of strength gives the best of herself to everyone.

A strong woman makes mistakes and avoids the same in the future…
A woman of strength realizes life's mistakes can also be unexpected blessings and capitalizes on them.

A strong woman wears a look of confidence on her face…
But a woman of strength wears grace.

A strong woman has faith that she is strong enough for the journey…
But a woman of strength has faith that it is in the journey that she will become strong.

Good Morning!! I hope everyone had a great Christmas and weekend :-)

Mommyin10: How are you doing/feeling? How is DH's dad? DH got more moulding put up over the past week and DS's bathroom is now done and functional lol. I just have to get the border up in it. DS has his 3yr checkup tomorrow morning and darned if I didn't forget about it when I made my OB appt. DH will take him in the morning but I wish I could be there :-( At least he doesn't have to get any shots! Hope all is well!!

Keyan: I hope you had a great Christmas!!! You are on vacation now right? How are you feeling?

Mrspace: How are things your way? Haven't heard anything from you in awhile... Hope things are good your way!

Ad: It seems like your pregnancy is flying by already!!! I know mine has! Get as much rest as you can - it's soooo easy to get wore out in the 1st and 3rd trimester. When is your next appt?

Well I think I can say I officially have a cold....GRRR!!! My throat was really scratchy last night and I kept having to cough - didn't get any better throughout the night and I slept like cr ap. Now I have a combination of runny/stuffy nose, sore throat and cough. At least I don't have a fever! I am supposed to work tonight....yuck lol! I'm hoping with the snow and such we have going on here people will cancel their appts.
I see the OB tomorrow which is good in case this cold thing hasn't let up. I will be asking him to take me off work. I got to thinking I can safely have her in just over 3wks....I have NOTHING READY!!! The crib isn't up, DS's clothes aren't moved upstairs yet (they will be moved through the next day or so...), nothing of Peyton's is washed yet and all that! I'm really have that nesting urge but we can't get the crib up until the bed downstairs is moved upstairs to the spare bedroom/office... Hopefully this week! Also, my pelvis is cracking and popping at every little move - even when I cough it cracks. It doesn't feel too swell lol! Well, I hope everyone had a great Christmas and weekend! I'll check in throughout the day....

Hugs, Love and SSBD to all :-)

[rachjas0623]

dnikki- I hope your OB lets you off of work. It sounds like you need the time and relaxation!

ad- I am glad that everything is go so smoothly and fast!

mommyin10- It really sounds like DH is taking great care of you!

AFM- AF showed the days before Xmas Eve. I was able to get into my RE Xmas Eve morning. My appointment was fine. She was surprised it didn't work. She doesn't think it's the quality of my eggs. She asked about transferring the one I have left... but I voiced my concerns about that.... the first 2 week transferred we m/c and then the 2nd 2 did not implant.. again, she doesn' think it's the quality of my eggs.. But, you know what?!!? she has never checked my FSH!? Should I ask her to? She then asked about doing another IVF. We said we couldn't right now.... time off of work and of course the money issue (we are OOP). We then talked about IUI. We did get preggo w. that before. She said it's a possibility.... so that's what we are doing! She feels more comfty doing that now too since she took the bad tube out.

So, the plan for this cycle...
Still take B. Asa & Folic Acid + other daily med
Femara CD 3-7, 5mg
Cd 14 u/s
Trigger when ready
IUI
Progesterone
Start Heparin w/ BFP

Currently.... I am am CD 6 and my CD 14 u/s is 1/5. Fingers crossed that my dominant follie is on my good side!

************************************************************************************
I'm feeling great :) I'm actually looking forward to Thurs, my next appt :) It's more of a comfort thing now. I'll be packing a bag before each appt just in case I'm sent back to the hospital. Gotta be prepared! Thurs will be my 3hr glucose test & my FFN. She'll also see if I'm dilated. Last week I was dilated a fingertip, so I'm not sure how quickly or not it could progress... hopefully it hasn't ;) I've seen a few good movies. The Hangover was too funny! I also saw The Orphan & I liked it (but I love scary movies!) For those ttc, it could be a bit freaky ;) I totally didn't expect what I saw :) The babies are moving so much now! Sometimes the movement startles me! haha :) My stomach is great entertainment now, watching tge ripples & waves across it :) It's amazing!

jmh2005: How are you feeling?!? :)

Luvkayln: How was Addy's 1st Christmas?! :) I know you took lots of pics & I can't wait to see them :) Happy 3 Weeks to your little princess!

Keyan: How are you doing? I'm glad you're off for a bit. What kind of plans do you have? Did you start the diet? When will you start w/the smileys? It's getting to be that time :)

rachjas: Yay! I'm so happy to hear you have a great plan! :) so, you've just got a week to go before your iui, then. I think my fsh was checked around cd3. I can't remember for sure. It's a good idea to check it, but don't worry about that now, unless you are faced w/another AF. You are producing eggs, which is great & here's to beautiful follies on your good side ! :) Yes, dh is being great! It's amazing how much he has to do & so far, no complaints ;)

dnikki:  I'm sorry you caught a cold ;( and I hope you do get cancellations! I can't imagine doing your job right now, even if I wasn't on bedrest! Hopefully your doc will take you off work tomorrow. Wow, 3 weeks! That puts things in perspective, huh?! Dh & I couldn't believe when we went to the hospital & were told the babies "could" come any time!!! We were expecting March, so it makes you really think how ready or not you are :) dh hasn't been able to get work done on the babies' room. He's so busy getting laundry & dishes done, grocery shopping, taking care of the pets & I and visiting with his dad, not to mention working! Poor guy ;( but he's awesome & I'm just so thankful :) His dad is doing great! He doesn't want a caregiver, gets around with a walker & his wheelchair & is happy to be home :) dh took him leftover turkey & blown up u/s pic of each baby on Sat ;)

[sbumblebeeo]

I'm so happy to see that you are stil so optimistic.  I am getting really nervous.   Have you signed up for any birthing classes or breastfeeding?  Do you know who is going to watch the babies once they get here? Oh and how about progestrone shots?  Are you doing those?  I may be having a minor meltdown.  For some reason I am feeling very overwhelmed about all these things.  And like your DH, mine hasn't had any time to work on the baby's room.  I can't wait for progress to start on it. We have A LOT of work to do!  I'm glad to see that his dad is doing better too.  I am all over the place right now.  DH's parents acted like total idiots for Christmas.  They didn't come over and they didn't bring my step son his gifts.  When DH made him call them and wish them a Merry Christmas we could hear his mom play 20 questions with him about what he was doing, was he coming over, Santa brought you stuff here, then she hangs up and says I guess I'll see ya when I see ya.  When he hung up he was bawling, ON CHRISTMAS!  Who does that to a kid????  grrr.  then we found out last night that his dad called his ex wife (steps sons mom) and asked her to bring him over.  She called us, thankfully, and asked what we wanted her to do.  We talked about it and I told DH that it isn't fair to put her in the middle and for them to get what they want by going around us to her.  They talk so badly about her but now that they want something it's ok to call and ask?  These people are SICK!  Not to mention they don't care what kind of stress this is putting on me and DH when we truly don't need it.  It's so out of control.  At this point it doesn't looklike they are going to participate in the baby shower at all.  Then when she comes do they think that they can just show up at the hospital and act like nothing is wrong?  Like that won't be stressful on me when I am in labor.  And I wonder why my emotions are all over the board.  Ok.  So I just laid a bunch on you.  I'm sorry  for that.  I wouldd really like to know about the shots though.  You can ignore the rest of my stress rambling.  Sometimes it all just comes out at once.  

Take care.  I should sent you some coloring books so you have something to do while you rest.  I love to color (lame huh)!

Thanks as always!!!

[mommyin10]

Here's my honest opinion. I think dh needs to either call his parents or go see them & voice his concerns and try to work something out. Keep yourself away from the stress. They're his parents & he needs to put his foot down. It's not up to you to "fix" it. Take care of yourself, dh, your stepson & Shelby ;)
Well, at this point, no birthing classes for me. Besides being on strict bedrest, if the babies come early they'll do a c-section. It's too much trauma for them to make the journey if they're too small. So, birthing classes wouldn't help there ;) Breastfeeding is something they'll help me with at the hospital. When I was there last week, I noticed they offer that service. My mom & MIL will take turns watching the babies after I go back to work, but we'll set that all up when we get closer to me going back. I took progesterone shots very early on, up til maybe 10 weeks, but haven't used it since. One of the docs on the 18th mentioned progesterone inserts, but the other docs I saw throughout the weekend at the hospital didn't think it was necessary. I forgot to mention it to my ob, so I'll ask her on Wed. dh has done a lot of work on the babies' room, just not since I've been home on bedrest. It's a lot of work taking care of me :) heehee He'll lay the floors in there probably this weekend :)
Wel, I'm gonna eat lunch. Hang in there & remember, no stress! :-)

[dnikki0928]

sbumblebeeo: I read your post to mommyin10 - Sorry, I hope you don't mind...but I completely agree with her. You don't need any of this added stress especially when you're trying to keep Shelby in there as long as possible. DH's parents should understand your guys' point and be respectful enough to respect you all...Sooo, how 'bout that snow lol?!

Mommyin10: Thanks for the note!! I called work and asked for one of the LMT's numbers to see if she would cover for me...She declined but with our weather here I completely understand. But my boss (the good one lol) called me back and said he moved my appt. over and told me not to come in. This cold has kicked my rear! I get into coughing fits especially when I talk or when I'm trying to fall asleep. DH is going to stop at Walgreens and ask the pharmacist what is safe for me to take and bring it home :-) The OB's office did say cough drops are safe so that'll help some.
As for possibly having Peyton in 3wks, yeah talk about a dose of perspective lol! I talked to my SIL today and she said my MIL is planning on coming out tomorrow (news to me!) and staining more and putting up the moulding in the spare room. It's great that she wants to do that but...she did staining on Saturday when I was at work and when I came home the whole house reaked of stain/polyurithane (sp?). She didn't open up any windows!! I can deal with the doors not being stained until spring when it can be done outside lol ;-) I'm def. starting to nest though lol! I'm glad you're getting well taken care of by DH - sounds like he is very understanding and helpful :-)

[sbumblebeeo]

mommyin10-  I'm glad one of us has it together.  I am most likely going to have a c section to so I'm thinking that the birthing classes are a waste of time but DH wants to do it and I want him to be really involved.  He wasn't allowed to do anything with his son, his ex was very controlling over everything.  He never even got to feed him!  Oh well that just means this is new to both of us.  :)

dnikki & mommyin10-  DH's parents don't care about the stress they are putting on us.  They  don't even take the high risk or pre term labor seriously in my opinion.  They're very dismissive and just say everything will be fine.  One day I told his dad I didn't want to talk about DH's ex b/c I always get upset and it literally keeps me up at night and he said "so your telling me you're a head case".  I just said "yeah I guess so" then he proceeded to tell  me that DH wasn't a doctor and that stress wouldn't do anything to us.  He's such a jerk.  Part of me hopes they stay mad and stay away from us but I know that hurts my husband.  His family is very small and what he does have acts like this.  I hate it.  I have been so depressed about it today.  I'll get over it in a few days... I always do.  Thanks for your thoughts though.

dnikki- As for this snow...YUK!  We had 8 inches when I woke up and it's been snowing lightly all day.  I live right on the lake and its steadily blowing off. It's so pretty though and since I'm off work I don't really mind too much.  How much did you guys get?

[jmh2005]

Hey girls! I am feeling ok I suppose...extremely tired and fighting a cold and DH and i only got to BD once which I suppose is better than none at all. So i am not hoping for much...even though it only takes that one time lol.

mommyin10 - I agree! The hangover was my most favorite movie of all time! Hope you are doing well!

I finally watched the movie Juno yesterday. It was cute. Today I'm planning to take a shower :) That's my big goal for the day! heehee ;)

dnikki: Yuck, polyurethane smell! Your mil probly hadn't even thought about it since she was around the smell so long. That definitely needs to air out. I'm so glad you didn't have to work last night! How are you feeling & what did dh bring you for your cold? Good luck today! Hopefully your doc will take you off work :)

Jmh2005: Yes, it does only take one time ;) Will you plan to test? Feel better!

Sbumblebeeo: All the stress you're feeling is why I say dh should handle  his parents at least for now & you should concentrate on happier thoughts ;) I sure try to "have it together", but this whole ttc & pregnancy journey has been quite a learning experience, letting me know I cannot plan everything! haha ;) It's been one surprise after another.

[mommyin10]

How'd your appt go?

[dnikki0928]

Mommyin10: I know that smell is terrible!! And it's back again today! They cracked a couple of windows but for me it's still not enough... As for my appt. today I basically have an upper respiratory infection and he put me on the Z-pack and some good cough syrup. I can't wait to take the cough syrup tonight and get some sleep lol!! Anyways, as for the rest of the appt. it went good. Peyton's HR is really strong and I'm measuring good still. I noticed he had to go lower than usual to measure and I'm thinking she's already dropped some. AND....NO MORE WORK!!! YAY! I'm so happy about it!! How are you feeling today? Your next appt. is on our wedding anniversary :-) Hopefully it brings you good luck!

sbumblebeeo: We got probably 5-6inches maybe more but with the way the wind was blowing it's hard to tell for certain. We are supposed to get more on Thursday through the rest of the week - and now, since I'm off work I don't mind much either lol!! How are you feeling these days? Hope all is well!!

Luvkayln: Hope all is well your way and update when you can!!!

Well here's an update from my appt. today...

Hugs, Love and SSBD to all :-)

[mommyin10]

I hope your meds help & you feel better soon. Yay for no more work! Now you can stay cozy inside while it's so cold outside ;) My boy is super low! Can you feel movement down low? It kind of freaks me out when I feel him moving below my bikini line! I just look forward to making it another day & to each appt :) Aww, I hope your anniversary does bring me luck! Do you have special plans? I'm feeling good, but uncomfortable at times. It's hard being on bedrest because I'm concerned about blood clots and/or bedsores. I try to switch positions & rub my legs often.

[dnikki0928]

Mommyin10: I hope they help too :-) The cough and my neck hurting (feels like it's really swollen) are probably what is the worst. Yes, I can feel Peyton move very low! I can feel her turn her head from side to side and it's down past my bikini line and obviously deeper...It does feel really weird! Each day for you is always another good sign and another good thing for those babies!! As for anniversary plans - We'll go to an earlier dinner depending on how I feel and maybe have our neighbors over to celebrate New Year's Eve with us. We'll see though...As for blood clots, make sure you do ankle pumps where you are flexing your foot up and then back down contracting those muscles of the calf. Those should really help :-) Have you asked about compression stockings to help? Have a good night and I'm sure we'll talk tomorrow!!!

[mommyin10]

Where's everyone else today? haha :) Yes, they told me about the ankle flexes in the hospital & I've been doing them. In the hospital, they had wraps around my calves that were attached to a machine. They would fill with air & squeeze, then decompress. At home, I'm wearing compression socks. I feel nervous because I feel movement, budogie can I be sure it's both babies or just one, ya know? That's another reason I'm so eager for my appt Thurs. Have a good night!

[jmh2005]

mommyin10 - i am gonna wait and she if she shows and if she does I plan on planning out our next cycle much btter. The holidays have me all outta wack. How are you and the little ones doing?

How was everyones holidays?!

[sbumblebeeo]

dnikki-  I hope you start feeling better soon.  I think that is what I had too b/c I got a z pack and some cough meds for it.  It's horrible.  You cough so much you can't sleep at all.  It's been a tough winter on me for being sick but I guess we get through it some how.  I'm feeling better though.  That z pack should help you lots.  I have to go back to work next Monday and then I have an appointment the same day and will have to leave early.  HA HA.  My every two week appointments start after this one.  I can't believe how fast it's all going.  Well take care and stay warm!!!

Sorry I have not been around lately.  I just caught up with all of the posts.  I am sorry that I have been missing everything.  Yesterday we had to take my grandmother to the hospital.  She has congestive heart failure and fluid in her lungs.  My mom is away on vacation so we are in charge.  She is stable and doing ok so I am hoping I do not need to call my mom...she is in Punta Cana until Sunday.

mommyin10- I am so sorry that you have been going through so much.  I know that you and your babies will be just fine.  They will hang in there as long as they need to in order for them to be healthy.  I hope that your cervix does not change and that you do not dilate any more.  Take it easy.  I will be thinking of you and your babies.

luvkayln- I am glad Addy is doing well.  Don't worry tooo much about her weight.  My son was only 5 lbs. 3 oz. at birth and then lost some liek they all do.  We had to go in for several wight check appts.  His weight was a concern but he is just fine.  She will eat as much as she needs.  My son could only eat so much since he was so small but he ate what he needed.  If he ate too much, he threw up.  I am glad her levels have gone down. Hopefully the jaundice will go away.  My son also had that problem.  He was in the Nicu for 4 days so they took care of it there.  We only had to take him there once the day after he was released to have the levels checked and that was it.

AFM, we only have a few possible names on our list but I am not crazy about any of them.  Please let me know if anyone has any ideas.  My next ob appt. is Monday.  Unfortunately I won't have an ultrasound though.  I still get headaches and am still super hungry.  I wish I wasn't so hungry!

I hoep everyone had a merry Christmas:)  Happy New Year!

[ad_06]

Hey ladies just thought I'd check in. I can't believe I will be 10 weeks on Friday :) I'm a 1/4 of the way there. I go for my regular OB appt on Monday....I so can't wait! There isn't alot new going on here, just that I have been having a hard time sleeping. Every night for the past week all I want to do is toss and turn. It drives me nuts! lol Like last night I was really tired from not getting much sleep the night before so I went to bed at 9pm, slept good till 11pm then the tossing and turning started. So at 2am I said to heck with it, and went to the couch thinking that would help....yeah right, I still tossed and turned. lol

I hope everyone else is doing good!!!

[dnikki0928]

Mommyin10: Good luck today at your appt!!! I hope both tests are negative - keeping my fx for you! Update when you get a chance :-) Thank you for the 33wk wishes! I still can't believe I'm that far along already and that you are 26wks! So last night our drain decided to back up - We have 3 maple trees out front and the roots like to clog our drain...So today DH gets to rent a rooter thing and break them up again...I think we are going out for an anniversary lunch instead of trying to get through crowds at dinner. If we have time, we'll also go see a movie :-) I'd really like to see The Blind Side or Precious. Are you guys staying up to watch the ball drop tonight? Ha! We can't make it past 1030 anymore lol!!! Talk to you later today!!!

Ad: The time seems to be flying by! Yay for getting to go to the regular OB on Monday!!! I know you have to be sooo excited! As for the tossing and turning - I'd hate to tell you but it really doesn't get any better lol! I've had to sleep with one of those big body pillows between my knees since I was about 10wks! Maybe that will help? Have a good day :-)

sbumblebeeo: DH now has our cold :-( It doesn't seem to be affecting him as bad though which is good. After the 1st dose of the Z-pack I could feel a big difference! The cough syrup helps at night too :-) It feels like it's starting to break up in my chest though which is really good. Well, we got more snow last night and people are driving like they've never seen it before lol! They were saying how many accidents there were already this morning! We are supposed to get more today and throughout the whole weekend...Have a good day!

AFM: I'm fighting off the cold still but at least I'm functioning now lol! DH has now come down with a cough and stuffy nose though :-( DH and I are celebrating our 4th wedding anniversary today :-) We'll probably go out for lunch instead of fighting crowds for dinner and if we have time maybe a movie also. We are getting more snow here and it's supposed to snow throughout the weekedn also...It looks very pretty at the moment though :-) As long as the big bed in the nursery gets moved this weekend, I will be starting that next - I have the huge nesting urge already lol! I feel like nothing is ready!I'm still trying to get pics up, but my computer is being dumb and I can't find the files I want when I click the browse button. Who knows! I hope everyone has a great New Year's and I'll check in later!!!

Hugs, Love and SSBD to all :-)

***********************************************************************************
So, I'm fasting for my 3-hour glucose test ;( No fun when you're pregnant, I tell ya! My heartburn got so bad last night & I couldn't take a Tums. Every time I layed down, I felt like I was going to throw up. So, I sat up in bed til after 12:30 before finally falling asleep. I'm going to shower & get ready for my appt to try & take my mind off being hungry ;) I'm already looking forward to lunch :) I'll have the glucose test, as well as another fetal fibronectin exam & she'll check babies' heartbeats, u/s & see if I'm dilated. Hopefully all goes well. I should have my results this afternoon. I wish everyone a safe & Happy New Year!!! :)

luvkayln: Happy New Year! How's Addy doing? :)

Keyan: Have you started testing w/Smileys??

Jmh2005: I hope AF is staying away!!!

sbumblebeeo: Happy 27 Weeks!!! :) We're getting there !

kmcarino: I always liked the name Lucas or Luke for a boy, but dh didn't... I hear you on being super hungry! Happy 26 weeks!

ad_06: Unfortunately I have to agree w/dnikki. Getting a good night sleep only gets more difficult ;)  Time really does fly once you're pregnant :)

dnikki: Happy Anniversary! :) I hope you get to enjoy a nice lunch & movie! I think that's a great idea, rather than fighting the crowds :) I'm actually 27 weeks today! Yay, I've made it another week :) That su cks you've got drain issues. I hope dh can get it all worked out. Have a wonderful day & a Happy New Year!

[mommyin10]

Oops! Happy 16 Weeks :)

[sbumblebeeo]

mommyin10-  Lots of luck today and Happy 3rd trimester to us!  I am holding my breath and hoping to make it to 34 weeks.  I hope you can hold out too.

dnikki- Our roads are clear for now and I'm not sure if we're going to get more snow or not.  I'm glad you are starting to feel better. Ya know I finished my z pack and still have a little cough hanging around.  I'm not real  sure why.

Question...  my hips and pelvic hurt really bad and have for a couple of weeks now.  We went to the mall last night and I walked for a little while.  After that I could barely move.  I am very uncomfortable.  Anyone else have that this early on?  My hips are crooked from a mild case of scoliosis (sp?) that I was born with and have ached in the past but nothing like this.  I swear I can barely move after a short time of being on my feet.  It's hard for me to close my legs... LOL.  That's how I got here I know but I'm serious.  I wonder if that is why pregnant people waddle????  Just curious.

[mommyin10]

Sorry you're having pain ;( My ob did tell me early on that when we're pregnant, our bodies release something called relaxin. It makes us feel old sprains/strains, so that could be it since you have scoliosis. Also, I have pain on each side in my bikini line area (if that makes sense) & that's round ligament pain due to your uterus stretching. Hope this helps! Take care :)

[dnikki0928]

sbumblebeeo: My pelvis as hurt something aweful this pregnancy also. I see my chiropractor on a weekly basis and it really does help. Although now that I'm this far along, the results don't last as long...Is Shelby sitting pretty low? That could be another reason why they hurt after walking around. Mine just basically hurt constantly. After I see the chiro there is a huge difference! If you do want to see a chiro, get one that come recommended and not one just out of the phone book :-)

[sbumblebeeo]

dnikki-  OIt hurts all the time but after I walk a little while then sit down it feels like I can barely move.  Sometimes I swear it feels like my back gets caught on something and it shoots right through my hip.  As for her sitting low...I almost always feel her kicking me really low.  I don't often feel her up by my belly button.  The chiro that I went to before that found the scoliosis should be good to go to but I was going to wait and talk to my doctor before doing that.  I wonder if crooked hips will cause one more reason for a c section since the birth canal will be crooked as well?  Guess we'll find out next Monday when I ask him.

DH and I are supposed to get her room cleaned out so that the progress can begin!  I am excited.  I can't wait to see it with walls and paint.  I found this vinyl quote that I want to buy and put over her bed.  It says " First we had Each Other, then we had you, now we have Everything".  It's pretty in like a script hand writting.  I'm not sure if I want it in white or hunter green though.  I want to paint her walls a pale green with dark green dragonflys that matches the bedding set that my neighbor is making me.  It's a patchwork set so there is a green, pink, white and marroon square and every part of her room will have a differnt square.  Like the walls are green but the curtins pink and the bed skirt the maroon.  It's so pretty.  I can't wait until it's all together.  I think I might be getting into that whole nesting thing or just really nervous that it won't be all together in time.  I dunno.  I worry too much.  

[Keyan]

Mommyin10: Happy 27 weeks!! looking foward to your update, hopefully the glucose test wasn't as bad.

Dnikki: Happy Aniversary!! and happy 33 weeks!! just a few more until Peyton's arrival!

Luvkayln: wishing you a happy new year!...I can't beleive Addy is almost 1 month old! already!

sbumbleebleo: sorry you are in pain. I hope you are able to find some comfort and are able to enjoy the day!

Ad_06: Happy 10 weeks!! can't wait to see your belly pics!

Kmacarino: I agree with mommyin, Lucas is a nice name! are you considering  spanish names? happy 4 months! I can't beleive you are already on your second trimester...really fast!

Jmh2005: hope AF stays away!! and you are able to start the new year with a BFP!!

sorry I haven't been posting, I've been lazy this days! I am already sad we go back to work in another week! ;o( ....we are enjoying our holidays, here in PR is party almost everday especially during Christmas. Dh's family is coming over today, so our niece will keep us busy and happy, I've been a little sad lately, but ok, so when I am around her, I forget all the sorrows, unfurtanetly when she's gone, it's sad to know is just Dh and me...but all is ok! the meds I've been taking are doing the job, I think, my cm has been awsome although with all the holidays food and party I haven't been able to keep the diet, ...OMG everything has gluten! and I love wheat, everything with wheat! but I am on a transition! but is not easy. Anyway..........I wish you all a happy, positive and exciting new year full of blessings!!

[mommyin10]

So, I've had my first 2 blood tests. Two more to go! I'll do my last one at 12:01 p.m., then I get to have lunch! Woo-Hoo!!! :) l'll have those results Mon. My ob did my FFN test (fetal fibronectin) & I should have those results this afternoon. She saw babies on u/s & checked heartbeats. All's well :) I'm 1cm dilated. She gave me a referral to a physical therapist to learn exercises to promote blood flow in my legs. I'll just have to go once & then can do the exercises at home in bed. I'll see the high risk doc next Fri & my ob again in 2 weeks (depending on my FFN results).

sbumblebeeo: I asked my ob if I was in my third trimester as of today... She said they consider 37 weeks full term & so I started my third trimester at 24 weeks! So, welcome to the third trimester!!! :)

keyan: That's great you're seeing a difference in your cm! Have you started testing yet? I can imagine the excitement of being around the little ones & how hard it is when they're gone... I know you & dh will have a bundle or two of your own soon & you'll be awesome parents :) Hang in there & enjoy your time off!

[jmh2005]

Hey girls! Hope you all have a happy new year! I am still really sick and AF started this morning on top of it all. I am now ready to start the new year with a bang on the pregnancy tryouts, and being debt free and getting healthier!

Mommyin10- im sure by then you will be more than ready for lunch lol...good luck

Have a healthy and safe new year girls!

[mommyin10]

Jmh2005: I'm sorry to hear about AF & being sick ;( I hope you feel better soon & I love your attitude ;) dh & I had quite the lunch! It was awesome ;-)  Best wishes to you & dh in the new year!

So, my FFN test came back negative !!! Yay :) I'm happy to know I'll be home for New Year's :) My next appt is with the high risk doc next Friday.  

[leighanne143]

mommy- did you ask your doctor about zantac?  towards my 30th week i got heartburn so bad i actually started vomiting up blood and he gave me the ok to take 150mgs of zantac 2 times a day and it helped alot.  my heartburn was awful.  then once i got rid of the heartburn the pregnancy carpel tunnel kicked in which was extremely painful.  but its all worth it in the long run.  i hope you glucose test went well.

[rachjas0623]

mommyin10- I am glad your FFN test came back -! When do you expect you hear about your glucose test?

HAPPY NEW YEARS to  ALL of you!

[mommyin10]

Leighanne: I've had heartburn for so long now. I've never had it before, so I didn't even know what it was for many 2 months! haha! My ob said I get symptoms earlier than usual because of the twins. It was extra bad last night since I couldn't take anything. She recommended that I try prilosec, so dh will pick some up today :) I got carpal tunnel, too, back in October. It's better now that I'm on bedrest, but it flares up when I write or brush my hair. You're right, though! It's all worth it in the end :)

rachjas:   Thanks! :) I'll get the glucose results on Mon. I also scheduled an appt w/a physical therapist for next Fri to learn better exercises while in bed, so I don't get blood clots or bedsores. How are you doing? Your u/s is coming up soon! :)

[GUESITO]

Happy new years sorry I have been gone will post an update soon. xoxoxoxo

[kmcarino]

mommyin10 and Keyan- I like that name too but it is my brother's name so we don't want to name him after my brother.  Yes, I am considering Spanish names but there are not many that I like.  I am starting to like Ryan more and more since I like it as a baby name and as an adult name.  My husband likes Jason the best but I don't say my s's very well and he says the J sound wiered sometimes due to his accent so Ia m trying to stay away from names starting with J and that have S is in them. I think the four names I still have down are Ryan, Jason, Tyler, and Kevin.  mommyin10- I am so glad the test came back negative!

Have a Happy New Year everyone!

Well, I tried my best to stay up til midnight... the last I knew, it was 11:45, then I woke up again at 1:45 :) dh is making us a big breakfast. Babies are moving so much! I'm so glad dh can feel & see them moving! Our next appt on Friday is with the high risk doc. It's to chart growth, so it'll be a longer, more detailed u/s & I hope to get some more pics! :) Have a wonderful New Year's Day!!!

Kmcarino: Didn't realize your brother is Luke! :) You have some great choices. They're all nice names. My vote would go to Ryan :) It's cute for a little boy & also a very masculine, grown up name :)

dnikki: I hope you had a Happy Anniversary :)

guesito: Good to hear from you :)

[leighanne143]

mommy- my carpel tunnel was worse when i rested because of the way the blood flows to your hands when your laying down.  I would wake up on the middle of the night in such pain that i could only cry.  i had to wear hand wrap things to ease the pressure on the nerve that causes it.  I used the zantac.  My doctor said if it didnt work to try prilosec but because prilosec is so expensive he wanted me to try the cost effective remedy first and luckily it worked like magic.

[dnikki0928]

Mommyin10: We had a very nice lunch :-) Mmmm, steak was soooo good lol - we haven't had it in awhile! Then we went and saw that new Sherlock Holmes movie, it was pretty good. By the time we got out of the theatre I was ready for bed though lol. We went and picked up DS and headed home. We just did a real easy dinner of basically leftovers b/c we were still full from lunch and we did "picnic style" dinner and let DS watch one of his discovery dinosaur movies (about 40mins) while we all ate in the living room. He enjoyed that ;-) We didn't stay up to watch the ball drop...DH has my cold now too so we were just exhausted by 10pm lol. How nice of DH to make you guys a big breakfast this morning!! What does he think of your belly doing flops all the time lol? Well, I'm baking DH a cake since today is his birthday and making a nice dinner....Hopefully it tastes good lol! Have a great day!

I hope everyone had a great New Year's Eve and is having a good New Year's Day! We are just sticking around home today trying to relax and get rid of these colds. It's DH's birthday today so I'm making a nice dinner and baking a cake. Later I think we are going to Home Depot to get the rest of the moulding for upstairs. DS is doing well - I'm wanting to give up on potty training soooo bad!!! He doesn't care if his pants are wet or dry. He's had 3 accidents already today and it's not even 2pm. We've been doing this since June...I know it takes longer for boys, but man! I know we have to stick with it, but I wish his Ah Ha moment would come lol! Peyton is doing well - her movements are so strong now that a couple of times a day she actually hurts me. I'm not sure what she's doing in there! My pressure "down there" is back today also, and for the past few days she's been hitting me real good on my cervix lol. A few more weeks! I keep thinking Jan. 28 is when I'm going to have her. That'll be 37wks so that's just fine with us as long as she's a healthy baby! Well, now I'm just rambling about anything so I will let you all get back to your day :-) Have a great day/weekend!!!

Hugs, Love and SSBD to all :-)

[mommyin10]

Leighanne: That's exactly how I felt for a few months! I couldn't sleep through the night because my hand hurt so bad. It was only my right hand. It was like it would fall asleep, but it really hurt. I couldn't even grab my pillow. I wore a wrist/ hand brace at night & it helped a little bit. During the day, my hand & fingers felt numb, but almost dead. Luckily now it's better. It's hard to write in my journal or brush my hair, but that's really all I'm doing these days ( & not often). I started my prilosec this morning. It's one pill per day & I'm really hoping it does the trick! I think this heartburn has been my only real complaint. It's just so bad. How was Jaedyn's Christmas?

Dnikki: Wow, it's a busy time of year for you :) Happy Birthday to dh! I hope you both feel better soon. I'm sure your dinner & cake will be perfect :) dh made eggs, toast, hashbrowns & sausage for breakfast. I devoured it (like I do everything else!) Yum :) He's loving seeing my belly grow & the babies move :) It's crazy because there are areas where they overlap & area where they're separate, so my belly is moving & bulging all over! It keeps me occupied while on bedrest :) heehee!

[lilmzk]

Hey everyone, I was browsing through and spotted your forum so I thought I would take a little look and wow there is so much good news here!!! Congratz to everyone that have had there babies and to the woman that have fallin pregnant, good luck to all us woman still trying :-)

I have been trying for a baby for 6 1/2 yrs, I have never ovulated. I take clomid and diaformin in order to help me release an egg, in november I had the biggest follicle I had ever had at 25mm! I still did not ovulate however that was a great start, my doc upped my dose hoping that the extra hormones would push an egg that little bit further... I have no idea yet if it happened or not however I have started having weird things happen to me like sore nipples, outbreaks, headaches, peeing frequently and so on. If my doctors calculations are correct I should be 12 DPO, no sign of AF which is wonderful!!! I have 2 days until my blood test although I dont get the results until the 22nd :-( thinking bout taking a home pregnancy test... not to sure if that is a good idea but waiting is sooo hard!!!!

Please cross your fingers for me!!!!!!!! :-)

[ad_06]

lilmzk- This thread is amazing. All the ladies here are so supportive and caring! I think if you test in a few days that it should show. I was on 7.5mg femera, and overdril with IUI and tested at 14 dpiui and it showed....so maybe you should test in a few days and see. I will keep my fingers crossed for you!

Jmh- I am sorry about af and being sick. I hope you feel better soon.

kmcarino- I agree with mommyin10, they are all nice names.....but I really like Ryan!

Mommyin10 - I am so glad that your FFN test came back negative!!!

It's hard to believe that it's 2010 already! I am so tired today. My sister always has a big new years party....so we went there last night. I had alot of fun, I wanted to come home so early and go to bed. But I stuck it out to watch the ball drop. I had to get up for work at 7, that went okay...lol but I took a 4 hour nap when I got home :)

I'm still having trouble with the sleep thing, but anything is worth what we get in the end! I am kind of nervous today because tonight is the last time I use progesterone. Hopefully everything continues to go good.

I hope everyone had a good New Years!!

[mommyin10]

lilmzk: Welcome! :) It sounds like you've been through a lot & that you're well on your way to a bfp! I agree w/ad_06. You're 12 dpo, so if you wait maybe 4 more days, you could try an hpt. The 22nd seems so far away ;) I'm just curious if your doc has given you an HCG trigger shot to help you ovulate. Again, welcome! I'm sure you'll love the ladies here :) Best wishes!!!

ad_06: Thanks :) Now just waiting for the glucose results on Mon. Fingers Xd! Kudos to you for staying up to celebrate the new year! I tried so hard, but couldn't make it ;) I think you'll be fine stopping the progesterone because the placenta has taken over by now. I was nervous, too, when I was told to stop, so I understand your concern. It's good you have an appt Mon. Maybe ask your ob to test your progesterone just to relieve your concerns?

[mrspace24]

Hey everyone.  This has to be quick.  So I'm half way through my month away from my hubby!  It's going well actually.  I can't wait to be home with my husband though.  

My mom has limited internet which explains why I haven't been around.  Sorry!!

Now, quick question. I had my LAP on Nov 20, and still no AF.  It's really making me mad lol.  Is that normal or should I call the dr?

I hope everyone is well.  

DH and I are going to wait until my unemployment starts to start TTC.  But at this point I want to start tracking my cycles again to see what's going on.  So hopefully AF will start soon

lilmzk: Hey, just wondering why you have to wait til 1/22 for your results if your blood test is tomorrow...

mrspace: Thanks for the update! Good luck
& Keep us posted :)

[lilmzk]

Hi thanx for the comments :-) woooo yer 13 DPO!!! My doctor did not give me any shots he put me on clomid to help me ovulate... apparently it releases heaps of the hormone that makes you ovulate. The reason I dont get my results until the 22nd is because my doctor is on holidays for a few weeks so the 22nd is the earliest appointment I could get, I wish they would just give results over the phone!!! I am going to do a home pregnancy test on thursday morning so hopefully it is good news... starting to doubt it though cause my symptoms are not as bad as they were, but still no sign of AF so thats a great sign!!!!

[ad_06]

mommyin10 - I will be sure to ask...but I think everything should be fine. Just kind of scary stopping it at first. I'll update after my appt Monday :) I'll keep my fingers crossed for your results!!!!

lilmzk - Do you get monitored on clomid? I know I took clomid for 4 months back in 2006 and it did nothing for me. When I switched to an RE in 09, he put me on femara. My 2nd cycle with femara and IUI, I got a bfp, but ended in an early m/c. Then we took a while off and went back and it didn't make my foliies mature, so the next cycle he upped the dose and gave me an overdril shot the day before the IUI and now I am 10 weeks. Maybe he should give you overdril? I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

[ad_06]

I forgot to put this in the last post. But I also have PCOS and was put on metformin in 2006 and I got af every 28 - 34 days....except the times I was on clomid because of cysts.

[mommyin10]

lilmzk: Aww, I see! Yes, too bad the nurse or another doc can't give you your results! Good luck with your hpt!!! Fingers will be crossed for you :) I only took a trigger shot with this IVF cycle, but I know women have taken a trigger to ensure ovulation while on clomid. Like ad_06 taking ovidrel. Well, hopefully it won't be necessary to ask your doc about it ;)

ad_06: I'm sure you'll be fine, too :) Yes, update after your appt & thanks for the good luck on my results :)

[dnikki0928]

lilmzk: Welcome to our thread! Like the other ladies have said, we are a very supportive group of gals :-) We ask each other anything and everything and we are always here for each other if things get tough. How many days are your cycles usually? I ask that b/c you should be able to take a HPT earlier than Thursday... I hope this is your BFP! My last cycle back in May I thought for sure was a failure. I felt like af was going to start at any moment and for some reason I just tested at 10DPO and I got a big fat PREGNANT! So, I keeping my fx for you!

Ad: Everything will be fine off the progesterone...With DS I took it until 12wks and this time around he had me stop at 10 and I asked him why. He said 10wks was sufficient and 12wks was kind of an overkill on it. Good luck at your appt. on Monday!

Mrspace: It's nice to hear from you! Sounds like things are going fairly well :-) Keep us updated! Oh, and I would call the doc, you should have had a cycle by now. See what they say. Maybe b/c you had so much work done it might take longer? Idk, just a guess. Have a good wkend!

Mommyin10: More moulding was put up today :-) DH is going to take the bed down tomorrow (the one in the nursery) and put the crib up! YAY! Now I can really start in lol! How are you feeling?

[lilmzk]

ad_06 - wow well congratz!!! The doctor was monitoring my follicles at first just to make sure that they were growing and now he just does blood tests to see if I have ovulated...

mommyin10 - yer it would make life a lot less stressful if someone could tell me!! I am thinking that if I am not pregnant within the next 2 months on clomid then I will just go straight to IVF... I have been trying for long enough this way, hopefully it has finally worked though!!!! :-)

dnikki0928 - Thanx for crossing your fingers for me!!! I am extremely irregular with my cycles... when I am not taking anything I have gone up to 10 months with no period. Everytime I have ever been on clomid though I have gotten them about one week after I stop taking them or if I dont get a proper period I get heaps of that browny dry blood looking stuff at about the same time and it usually lasts about 2 weeks (my body is totally messed up) this is the first time that I have not had anything at all... not even a spot. All month I have been positive that this was not my month, I kept nearly forgetting to take my tables and everything!! luckily my partner was on my tail about it lol but yer just the symptoms I have are different to anything i have ever had before, I still cant see myself having a positive though.

[kmcarino]

Thanks for your opinions on names.  I like Ryan too.  I forgot to mention that Joshua is also on the list but Joseph would not go for a middle name.  My husband is not too sure if he likes Ryan at all so I'll have to keep bringing it up and see if he starts to like it.  it seems realistic to me when I picture calling my son Ryan.  I agree that it is a good little boy name and also a good manly name.

mommyin10-Good luck at your high risk appt:)

lilmzk: 14dpo! Blood test Today! (results 1/22)
*************************************************************************************
There are a lot of appts tomorrow! :) Everyone, be sure to update asap :)

Keyan: Congrats on the smiley!!! :)

kmcarino: Ryan Joseph goes well together! :) If there's an issue with "S's", then will Joshua work? Maybe it's different w/an "SH"? Thanks for the good luck ;) Same to you for tomorrow!

Lilmzk: Yes, hopefully this is your cycle! :) Today's your blood test; right? Best wishes!!!

Dnikki: That's great dh is making progress! :) My dh started the hardwood flooring yesterday & should get a lot of it done today (in between cooking for me, grocery shopping, etc!) Poor guy! He's really amazing & I'm so happy he's here for me :) I'm feeling good. I do get an all-over belly tightening occasionally, which is uncomfortable, but not painful. My ob said if it happens 4 times in an hour, to let her know. So far, it's happened 3 times, but it's not consistently every hour. So, we'll see! ;) How are you feeling? When's your next appt?

[dnikki0928]

lilmzk: You're welcome :-) As for your irregular cycles, have you had any of your hormones checked? I used to have a cycle 2-3 times per year...Turned out I have PCOS, Endometriosis and a hormone imbalance from the pcos! Just a thought....

Mommyin10: My next appt. is on the 12th...I'll be almost 35wks then :-) After that I should start my weekly visits (already!!!). This pregnancy has just seemed to fly by! It sounds like DH is taking great care of you and all 3 of you are in good hands :-) The tightening are the BH contractions - I was told the same thing. I've only had it happen once or twice where I had 4-5 in an hour but they always quit. I'm feeling better as far as the cold goes...it's on it's way out finally. My pelvis still hurts probably worse than before and if I go grocery shopping or stand to long I get soooo much pressure "down there." (like today lol). DH is working hard to get the last of the moulding up so hopefully he can get that bed out of the nursery! At the store today I stocked up on pads and such for afer delivery and tomorrow I'm going to clean the cupboards (some of them) and get all the bottles and such washed! I'm trying to pace myself so I have things to do, but I'm sure I won't have any problems since I want to clean EVERYTHING lol!!! Well, I'll let you get back to whichever and I'm sure we'll talk later today or tomorrow :-) Have a good day!!!

Hugs, Love and SSBD to all :-)

[lilmzk]

Ok so my little update is that I just went for my blood test :-) I am going to try and get my results earlier however I think that my chances are very slim!!! either way I am doing a home test on thursday morning, I have a good feeling about it but because I have had so many let downs in the past I am really trying to not get my hopes up to high. I am having another wierd thing happen to me though however it can totally be put down to hormones... I am so emotional lol i am usually a really thick skinned person and I very rarely cry but the last couple of days I have balled out crying 3 times :-/ I mean it could be stress or just hormonal but it is quite weird for me to do that.

dnikki0928 - Yer I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 16, I have my hormones checked once a month. My hormones are everywhere... the hormone that makes you release an egg is only at 3 and it has never ever gone any higher than that as far as I know.

[luvkayln]

Hi ladies! Sorry i've been mia! It's crazy but I haven't been on the comuter since Xmas eve, that's definately not normal for me! ;) I've been SO sick this week, it su cks! :( It started with a sore throat and then went to the stomach flu, and now it's just a regular flu feeling. And actually today I'm feeling much better and my temp is gone, so I'm hoping it stays gone! I ended up getting masitis when Adalynn was 2 weeks old, which is an infection in  your boobs from breastfeeding. And that makes you feel like you have the flu too. Your bbs are SO sore, and you just feel achy all over, it was horrible. And then that went away, and then the real flu came... figures! ;) Adalynn's 3 week appointment went great! She's back at her birthweight, finally! :) Her jaundice is completely gone as well, which is awesome! So her next appointment won't be until she's 2 months old, which is only a month away! It's hard to believe she'll be 4 weeks old tomorrow!! Her first Christmas was great, although she slept through it all! lol! :) We did get some pics of course, so I'll post them soon. I have so many I need to save on our computer, I just really haven't had any time! She is actually starting to stay awake more during the day now, so I think we're starting to get on a routine! Yay!! :)  Anyway,  I read through all the posts and I'm glad everyone's doing good! :) Hopefully I can start checking in more often! :) I do miss you guys when I can't check in, but just know that I do think about you guys all the time! :) Happy new year ladies!!!

[luvkayln]

Does anyone know how to delete your pregnancy tracker? :) Don't laugh, I just can't figure it out! lol! :)

[luvkayln]

Ok, nevermind! I'm smarter than I thought! ;) I'm kinda sad my pregnancy tracker's not on there anymore! :( Oh gosh, I already miss being pregnant!! I guess Addy won't be the youngest for too long, huh?! ;) lol!

[sbumblebeeo]

luvkayln-  Yay an official siteing of you!  I was starting to get nervous.  Time flies.  I can't believe that the baby is a month old already.  I'm glad to hear that Christmas fun with the baby.  I can't wait for that.

mommyin10-  I am not excited to hear that you are 1cm dialated.  I am so nervous for you and nervous for my appointment tomorrow too.  I hope I don't end up on bed rest too.  We registered at Walmart for the baby shower today.  It was so much fun.  Then I came home and added stuff that you can only get online.  After today I began to realize that how much stuff we really need.  I thought we were doing jpretty good... I guess not.  Oh well the baby shower guest list is HUGE so we'll be just fine.  


On a side note...  GO DALLAS!  They kicked butt tonight.  YAY!!!  Good luck in the play offs!!

[Stacey1718]

Happy New Year friends!

Luvkayln - Oh poor you!!  I can't imagine getting mastitis and then a flu!  That really s u c k s!!!!  I'm glad you are feeling better and it sounds like Addy is doing great which is awesome!!  Glad you had a nice Christmas with your little lady.

Mommyin10 - That is so great that dh is taking care of you so well.  I can totally appreciate what you are going through because dh did the same for me.  It was actually good practice because once your little ones come dh will probably need to continue a lot of what he is doing.  How is Carmelo?  Good luck with your results tomorrow!

Dnikki - I think your pregnancy has flown by too!  I can't believe you are already 33 weeks.  Yay!

lilmzk - Welcome and all the best!

Well we had a very nice Christmas although it was pretty busy.  We had some visitors and made some visits and did not get as much quiet time as we would have liked but it was still nice and Jake was great.  I now have a cold which I may have gotten from Jake.  If not, I'm sure he will catch it from me!  I hate cold and flu season.  We are thinking of a trip to Florida in March to escape this winter for a week!

Talk soon!
Stacey

[mommyin10]

dnikki: Yes, that's what I learned, that they're Braxton Hicks. I don't like them ;) They make me uncomfortable, but it's good to know what they are & when to call my ob :) I'll tell ya, it's not easy having dh do everything. I totally appreciate it & I'm finally (after 2 weeks) ok with it, but I'd love to do laundry or clean the bathroom, etc. Imagine not being able to nest! ;) I can't complain, though. The first 2 weeks really flew by! :)

lilmzk: I'm glad you'll test on Thursday! :) Best wishes!!!

Luvkayln: It's so good to hear from you! :) Sorry you've been sick & so happy you're feeling better. Are you recovered from the mastitis? I can't believe Addy will be 4 weeks tomorrow! Unbelievable :)  

Sbumblebeeo: I know, I didn't expect bedrest either. I wasn't prepared, but I guess there's no way to really prepare for it ;) I'm glad you got yourselves registered. Isn't it amazing how much stuff you need?! Good luck at your appt tomorrow. I'm looking forward to mine on Friday. I can't wait to see the babies again & I hope I haven't dilated more. I'm not even sure if they'll check, but my ob said she'd call me this week, so I'll ask her about it 'cause I'd like to be checked since I went from 1/2 cm to 1 in a week.

Stacey: You're right. It's good practice, but at least I can help after the birth :) I know dh doesn't mind & hasn't complained, but I do feel sorry for him doing everything ;) Feel better soon! Your trip to Florida sounds great! :)

[mrspace24]

Thanks for the advice dnikki.  I'm so happy to read that everyone's doing so well!

I will be contacting my dr tomorrow about AF, so as of right now...I'm just waiting for AF (mommyin10 if you want to update me that'd be great).  I will update again when I hear from him and definitely when AF starts.   I hope it's soon!  It's getting on my nerves and I want to TTC again!  

[ad_06]

Wow there is alot of appts today...Mine isn't till 2:30, so it will be a little later when I update. I am just really nervous! My sister in law goes to the same dr (she is 23 weeks, I think) and she told me not to get freaked out because they don't have high tech equipment and sometimes they have a hard time finding the heart beat..That is really bumming, that is something I really was looking forward to today! Well hopefully I get lucky and get to hear it. She is also the type of dr that doesn't do u/s all the time....so I don't know when I will have another one to post. So we will see how today goes......

Sleeping is still an issue, but I don't mind. I checked  our walmart for a body pillow and they didn't have any....so when I go for my appt I am going to check their walmart.

Well ladies hope everyone gets good news today. I'll update as soon as I get back!

[pyar]

Hi evryone and happy new year to you all.Finally I have news the clinic called me last week to give us the go ahead all my tests  are fine thats what they were waiting for.

Mrspace: I can imagine how frustrating that is. Hopefully AF will show soon & your doc will have some good input. I updated you on our list :)

pyar: That's great news!!! I bet you're excited! Have they found a donor egg or do you know that yet? Is the decapeptyl depot a shot or pills? Congrats on getting the ball rolling! :)

sbumblebeeo & kmcarino: Best wishes for your appts today! :)

[kmcarino]

mommyin10- Yes, Joshua would be fine but I don't have a middle name to go with it.  I'm not sure my dh likes Ryan so we'll see.  I hope you get good results today!

ad_06- I really jope that you get to hear the heart beat today.  I can't wait for my appt too since it has been 6 1/2 weeks since I had my last ultrasound and I am used to being high risk and having a lot of appts.  I can't wait to hear the heart beat so I know he is doing ok in there.  I was hoping that I would feel him move by now and I may have a little, but it could be something else.  I am nto sure.  I did nto feel Kyle move until I was 19 weeks but it is suppsed to be sooner with second and third pregnancies.  

luvkayln- I am so glad you are better!  It must be so hard to take care of the baby 24/7 when you are so sick!  Your husband is working a lot lately, right?  I am happyt o hear that Addy is back to her birth weight too.  I also can't believe she is about a month old now:)  Wow time flies!

[dnikki0928]

To everyone who has appt.'s today: Good luck and update as soon as you can!!!

Pyar: Congrats on getting things moving along :-)

Luvkayln: It's nice to hear from you :-) Glad everything is good and Addy is doing great! I can't believe she's almost a month old already!!!

Not much new here - I got out the bottles and such today and they're in the dishwasher right now. I got the one cupboard cleaned out where we keep our cups, the sippy cups and now the bottles lol. I'm also going to boil the tubing and such for my breast pump after lunch and make sure that's all working properly. It should since it's brand new ;-) I also got the border up (finally!) in DS's bathroom...Let me tell ya, it should not be that hard to put up a border in a small 1/2 bath!!! I got so irritated lol!! But now at least it's done. Well, I'm going to finish up lunch and I'll check back in later on! Have a great day ladies!!!

Hugs, Love and SSBD to all :-)

[jmh2005]

Hello everyone! DH and I have decided to try and get things moving along again and are going to try natural still for a while and then move on to other procedures if neccesary. I was thinking of trying that fertilaid. Has anyone had any success with that or know if it is legit?

Luvkayln - I can't believe how adorable your daughter is. Time for another one yet? lol j/k

mommyin10 - how are you feeling these days?

ad_06 - good luck with your appointment today. I am sure you will be able to hear the heartbeat and how exciting that will be!

Well I gotta make this short I am just finishing my lunch hour at work and gotta get back to selling cell phones! lol

We had a ton of snow today so DH and I rode together because he was afraid of me driving myself. TTYL!!

:)

[sbumblebeeo]

If you can't find that pillow at the other walmart go to their web site.  I know I have seen them on there and you can do site to store shipping for free.  My mom got me one from Babies R Us so you might check there too.

Lots of us with appointments today so good luck to all.  

[rachjas0623]

Bad day.... I went in for my u/s early. My dominant follie is on my 'bad' side. No IUI for us this month. She said perhaps next cycle we could do 7.5mg of femara daily instead of 5mg.  I just dunno....

[lilmzk]

Ok so due to me being the most impatient person alive... I am going to do a home pregnancy test either tonight or if I can wait, tomoro morning. Everyday I get my hopes up more and more so to wait another 3 weeks my hopes would be sky high and then if I was to be let down I would be much more devistated, I would rather be let down now and be prepared for the doctors and if I find out I am pregnant than I will get to enjoy it for longer and not have to worry for the next 3 weeks :-)

I am still showing signs which is good although my breasts dont really hurt that much anymore, I never ever thought I would want to have sore breasts and be sick so much lol hmmm anyway I am nervous as hell and I already feel sad cause I just know that it will not come back with a BFP, I know I should be positive but it is so hard after so many let downs!

ok so that was my vent for today lol sorry!

[mommyin10]

kmcarino: What about Justin? I like that & it's cute w/Joseph ;) Thanks. My ob doesn't work Mondays, so I'll get my results tomorrow. How'd your appt go?

jmh2005: My dh used Fertility Blend, which is the same idea. I can't say it it helped or not, but I'm sure it didn't hurt :) I honestly think the thing that helped us the most was stopping alcohol & I stopped drinking coffee. Those were the first things our RE told us to stop. Whatever dh does to his body will stick around & affect his swimmers for 3 months (approx).

dnikki: What kind of breast pump did you get? Since I can't get fully prepared, I figure I should purchase a few things I'll need online.

ad_06 & sbumblebeeo: How were your appts?

mrspace: Did you talk to your doc?

Rachjas: I'm so sorry! ;( That really su cks & I'm sorry you're having another setback... I hope your good ovary cooperates next cycle ;) Hang in there!!!

lilmzk: Yay! Update asap :) Don't read too much into the symptoms, when they come & go. In the beginning, even when I learned I was pregnant w/twins, I wasn't sick at all & my bbs started hurting later, too ;) Good luck!

[sbumblebeeo]

mommyin10-  I just missed you...  we just got home. We stopped for dinner and the roads starting getting super bad.  It was an hour and a half drive back!  UGH.  But the doctors appointment went great.  I am still not dialated at all so he is happy with  that and is sending me for another u/s in two weeks to see if my cervix is shrinking.  Which is more great news b/c Dr. Muise told me it was 32mm but the report said 38mm so he just mistold me.  I'm glad it "grew"  I asked about my hips hurting and told him about my scoleosis and he said it can make things more painful but didn't act like it was a big deal.  I was wondering if it make my birth canal croocked and more complicated to spit out the baby but he didn't mention it.  He told me that he would really like to get another 10 weeks out of me so we have a full term baby but only time will tell.  For today I am happy.  We'll see what the next u/s says.  That will give us a better idea of when she's going to come.  I hope you are well and not too bored.  Thanks for keeping us all straight.  You are soo good at that!

[ad_06]

Well ladies everything went fine...It took forever though, because like my sister in law said they couldn't find the heartbeat. So she sent me to the hospital for an u/s and I got to hear it and see the baby move a little. The heart rate was 157! She went ahead and put me back on the progesterone....just to ease my mind. She said most women are on it till 14 weeks...so that is what she is doing with me. She is saying I am 11 weeks 1 day....boy all these changes screw me up....lol but the baby is measuring 11 week 5 days. She usually only sees you every 4 weeks, but she is going to go ahead and see me every 2 for right now. So that is a little better for me. I go back on the 18th!  I did get another u/s pic....but I am using my dads laptop right now because my computer is messed up and there isn't enough space for me to upload it....so I will work on that tomorrow. I have a really bad headache tonight...so I think I am going to head to bed soon. Thanks for thinking about me ladies!

lilmzk -  like mommy said don't read into signs too much, because my bbs didn't really hurt till after I got my BFP and I haven't had any sickness....I was shocked with my BFP because of no symptoms....I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya!

[lilmzk]

So I just did a home pregnancy test and it came up negative... pretty devistated :'( I am showing so many signs I honestly cannot believe it hey, I am going to do another test on thursday morning but my hopes are now deminished!!

So this month is not my month once again, if next month turns out the same then I am going to look into IVF

[kmcarino]

lilmzk- I am sorry it was negative:(  I hope that you will still get a positive:)

mommyin10- Yes, I like Justin but my husband doesn't.  I do like Ryan better though.  Justin also has an S in it so that's not good for me.  I finally got to hear the bby's heart beat again so that was cool.  I felt so relieved when I heard it.  She said that my uterus is right where she would expect it to be so everything looks good.  I am going to schedule a 20 week ultrasound.  I think my next appt. with my ob is Feb. 4th.  How was your appt?

sbumblebeeo- I am glad to hear that you have not dilated at all.  How have you been feeling?
