Ad_06- Congratulations! I am so very happy for you!
AFM, The CVS went well today. It didn't hurt and I did not have to get blood drawn which was a surprise. John Hopkins still has my blood from earlier this year that they can use. There were no red flags seen on the ultrasound so i was happy to hear that. The heart rate was 158. It was an abdominal ultrasound so I couldn't see as well but I could still see a little. So I can call in to get the preliminary chromosome results and gender on Wednesday afternoon if I want to find out. It might be better to get all the results at once but I probably will find out.
I am sorry this wasn't your month ;o( keep up the good attitude and you will find a way to have your baby!! ....hopefully the egg donor plan won't keep you waiting too long!!
Ok hopes dashed yet again AF just showed her ugly face oh well gotta keep on keeping on.I'm going to concentrate on moving forward with my donor egg plan so i'll be ringing the docs in the morning to see if my blood results are in so i can forward them to the clinic then its just a waiting game,
I hope you are all doing well thank you all for the support I think i would go crazy without this forum xx
Good morning! Just a quick HI since I'm at work! :)
Ad_06- I've been thinking about you all weekend! Congrats on your awesome beta number!! I'm SO happy for you! :)
Mommyin10- Yay, I'm officially in my "2ww" until my Addybelle gets here! (That's our new nickname for her! lol ;)
Dnikki- My maternity leave officially starts on Wednesday, yayyy!! ;) I can't wait!
Keyan- I promise I'll get more belly pics posted before she gets here! I was just thinking about that this morning! :) I know I still need to post pics of her last 2 u/s, I'll do that too! :)
Ok, gotta run! Hopefully my internet will be up and running at home today, but definately by tomorrow! Have an awesome day!!
Hi ladies well no AF temp dropped this morn took a hpt bfn .So feeling quite confused nothing new there.
Okay, I started typing early this morning and never checked for updates when I got home before I finished typing lol...
Ad: Great number!!!!! Come on cuper sticky bean!!!! YAY!!!!
Keyan: My weekend was pretty good, busy though lol - how was yours? How are you doing?
Mrspace: Yes, the urinating thing is normal - especially when you've had endo on your bladder removed. They mess with that big muscle! Your pain meds will make you constipated, you can always get a stool softener and add fiber one tablets to your diet. Hope you start feeling better soon!!
Ad: I would imagine you would have your 1st u/s at 6wks unless (Heaven Forbid) something came up. I can't believe the nurse blabbed!!! I hope your step-son understands as to why you both didn't tell him sooner... Update us when you get your new number!!!! Come on BIG NUMBERS!!!!
Mommyin10: So how much shopping have you and DH done lol?! Are you feeling those little ones move more and more?
Luvkayln: Little Addy's birthday is getting so close!!! How are you feeling? Have you started maternity leave yet?
AFM: I know I've been MIA (sorry!!!), but this past week was soooo busy! I painted on Wed, had a class to go to for work on Thurs, Fri and Sat I worked and yesterday we had Thanksgiving at my Mom's 2hrs away,,,,I'm pooped and I have to work tonight! I know this is short, but I'm trying to get the darker color put on this new room before 11 so I can take a nap before work. I'll check in around lunch!!!
Hugs, Love and SSBD to all :-)

Keyan: that's great AF will soon ve on her way! Did you buy your opk's? It's good you gave your body time to get back to normal & now you can get that long-awaited BFP! :) I'm excited for you :) dh got two walls painted w/ two coats. He has to wait 48 hours before doing the stripes. Our colors are greens & yellows. Not too sure yet about the lemon lime color. It almost looks neon! haha! We'll have to see how it looks with the other colors up :) My appt tomorrow is w/ the high risk doc to measure my cervical length. They're doing that every two weeks just to make sure all's well :)
kmcarino: good luck today!
Luvkayln: Wow, just 14 days til Addy's B-Day!!! :)
Woo-Hoo!!!! I'm so happy for you! Your numbers ate excellent :-) What a Happy Thanksgiving this will be :)
Wooooooo hoooooooooooo!!! a sticky BEAN!! Congrats!! happy and Healthy 9 months!!
249!!!!! YAY!!! I go for my scan on Dec3rd at 8:30!!! Well ladies I have to go to work......I'll check in later!
Ad_06: Wishing you the best results today!!
MrSpace: hope you are feeling better.
Rachjas: your IVF is coming up really fast!! how are you feeling? I am praying this time it works!!
Mommyin10: Did Dh got some painting done? you have neutral colors which is good, but will you be doing extra colors at their different areas? like their beds or bedroom sides. I like pink and lime/green look and also blue and lime/green combinations!! I have seen some with green/lime and red and that's also neutral and looks great...can't wait to see their rooms pic. Good luck tomorrow at your appt...which doc will you be seeing this time? you have so many doc looking after you, which is great, but is hard to keep up!! LOL!!
Luvkayln: Just another day until you see Addy again!....be sure to start resting soon!! This week will pass by really fast! and then the 10day countdown will start!!
Pyar: any news? Good luck!!
Dnikki: hey there! how was your weekend?
Nothing much going on with me....AF is getting ready to pack her bags and leave.... hopefully she will stay away for 10 months!! ;o) it was good seeing her, but she can go now!! lol
keyan- I have 4 incisions and yes I have a few little stitches in them. Nothing serious.
I did talk to my dr today about the BM and urination thing. He gave me some pointers so it'll get better. My post op will be in the next few days. I have to call tomorrow to schedule it.
As far as Lupron goes..I don't really know anything. I'll know more after my appt I suppose. I still feel pretty loopy from the meds. But it's going ok I suppose.
mrspace - all that you are experiencing is normal like all the other ladies said. I hope you have a speedy recovery.
Thanks ladies for all the luck tomorrow. I took a shot and tried to get the lab to give me the results, but they wouldn't. Oh well tomorrow is just right around the corner.
Oh and get this, I wasn't going to tell my step son the news yet, with my history. I had to take him with me this morning, because DH had to work.....well the nurse comes out to take my blood and she says " awww, you're pregnant, that must be exciting" I just looked at her and kinda did the shhhh thing and she turned around to my step son and said "so you are going to be a big brother"!!! I didn't know what to say!?! When we were leaving he looked at me and said "you didn't tell me!!!" I tried explaining why, but he's 9 it's hard. I called DH and said we have a problem, the nurse was a blabber mouth....lol DH said oh well it's fine. So I just told my step son that the test showed I am, but there is alot more stuff that has to be done to really be sure. I just don't want to hurt him if something happens.
If my beta comes back good, when will I have my 1st u/s? Well ladies I will let you know what I find out tomorrow.
mrspace- Yep, what you are experiencing is normal!
yes girl all of that is normal. take it easy and probably by tomorrow you will start feeling a lot better.
If you had an enema before the surgery it will take a little while to have things moving. and about not being able to urinate, well for me it got better 2 days after. and the bleeding, can get worse, when I had my first lap I also had a D&C and I bleed for about 11 days straight and the stopped for about two days, but then it started again for about 7 more days and it was really heavy....so be prepared...my doc said it was normal. will you also be doing Lupron, did the doc mention anything? when is your post-op? you will find out a lot more. ......
BTW you got stiches? ....I only got one incision with just one little stich but that was the second lap.
Mommyin10: that sounds like it will look great! I can't wait to see the room's pic.....BTW post new belly pics, ok?!
Luvkayln: hope this last days at work arn't too bad.....can't wait to see a new belly pic from you!!
Ad_06: Good luck tomorrow with the test result!!
Question for those who've had a LAP before.
Sorry...this is going to be graphic....
So I had my surgery on Friday, and I have a few questions. First...it really hurts to urinate. Not a burning or anything, but all the muscles hurt so so so so so bad.
Also, I haven't been able to have a BM at all. I feel like I need to, but I can't seem to do it. I know it's gross, but oh well.
Also, so far I've been spotting lightly ever since the surgery, but I woke up this morning bleeding much more heavily.
Has anyone else had any of these problems? I'm planning on calling the doctor tomorrow, but I wanted your opinion too.
Thanks everyone.

Keyan: dh & I bought paint yesterday! We actually bought 4 different shades of limes, greens & yellows ;) dh will do thick stripes on one wall & solid colors on the others. I know it's hard to envision, but I think it'll look really nice :)
kmcarino: There were red flags at our anatomy scan, each baby had choroid plexus cysts & our lil boy also had an echogenic cardiac "something", so don't worry too much if they see any markers, so long as there aren't supportive findings. Good luck tomorrow!
Ad_06: Thinking of you today & praying for great beta results tomorrow! :)
mrspace: That's great your doc thinks he got all or most of your endo! I'm sure that'll make a huge difference :) Take it easy & I hope you feel better soon!
Luvkayln: 15 days til Addy's B-Day!!! :)
hey everyone. this will be quick and to the point because i'm feeling pretty bad.
had my surgery yesterday. it took 2 hours. did a lap. 4 incisions. no cancer at all. woo hoo.
also did a hysteroscopy with hsg and a d&c. He DID fine a HUGE amount of endo. but was able to remove (what he could tell) was all of it. Which is huge good news. he said it had even spread to my other organs. Just my bladder as far as I can remember. I will find out more at my post op.
mom said that when dr came out to talk to them he was grinning ear to ear and so excited for us to ttc again because now we know SO much more. still going to take time off to just relax and keep getting healthier.
mom dad and dh have been so amazing to me. Had to spend a lot of time in recovery which sucked but did come home same night
was really pissed at nurse in first recovery room. family couldn't be there with me in that room. nurse was too busy talking to another nurse and i was alone when i woke. I don't handle anethesia well and I freak out and get super super scared when I wake up. She kept coming over to check on me barely and leaving. It was bad.
when they finally took me to the other room and let my family come in I wouldn't let go of my mom. Dh was already gone for work. but it was ok
last nurse I had was mean too. She was rough taking my iv out. But it was ok.
other than that the whole experience was amazing. i am in some serious pain today but doing the best i can. sitting/standing/moving legs hurt bad. dr said that they did A LOT of exploring in there. so all the way up my stomach hurts bc he checked liver kidneys bladder etc. going to talk to dr on monday to get appt and tell him about some issues. having trouble urinating. I have to pee all the time but my bladder won't push it out like normal. TIME ALERT .. also haven't been able to have a bm since the surgery. So i'm nervous about that too. but it should be ok
throat hurts a little from having the tube in there. But it's ok. Air from the lap traveled to my neck/shoulders which they said can be normal, just makes me stiff.
incisions are doing ok. The one in my belly button hurts like h e l l. the other 3 are super bruised but doing fine. just a few stitches.
I miss you all. write more later.
The chromosome testing does nto tell me anything at all about my disorder. It just tests for the correct number of chromosomes...the same as your test did. I hope though that this time the doctor does not find any red flags when he does the ultrasound like he found with my last pregnancy. Then I will feel better. I really do believe that this baby is healthy:) It will be a long two weeks to wait though.

sbumblebeeo: Happy 21 Weeks!!! :)
Keyan: We're picking out a paint color today :) What a great way to celebrate, huh?! Have a wonderful weekend! :)
kmcarino: Sorry, that's a long time to wait. I thought the chromosomes would have your answers. At least if all's well w/them, it can alleviate the worry; right?
Ad_06: It's gonna be stressful til you see your baby's hb (& beyond!) It's just the way it goes when we try so hard to be mommies ;) Take it easy this weekend & best wishes tomorrow! I can't wait for your results on Monday :)
mrspace: Thinking of you! I hope you're home recovering & that all's well :)
pyar: How are you feeling today? How is your temp?
Luvkayln: Just 2 more work days for you!!! That's awesome :) No more working til 2 a.m. for you!!! 16 days til Adalynn's B-Day!!! :) Have a great weekend!
Thanks everyone! I am so thankful that this worked. I have to go get more progesterone on Monday. I am still amazed and it really hasn't sank in, maybe after I get my 2nd beta done it will. DH has been awesome, not letting me do things.
Symptoms are starting to come more and more. My bbs are hurting even more, and the fatigue is getting worse. I tried watching a movie with DH and my stepson last night and I fell asleep. That's good though I need my rest. I wish I could tell my stepson, but I want to wait to atleast the 1st trimester is over with.
Last night was kind of scary for me, but I think it's more worrying then anything. I know that I shouldn't be worrying, but it's hard when you've had 2 BFP that ended early. I had some minor cramps toward my left ovary, and my lower back and legs were so achy. The achy part might have just been that I was tired....and I know some cramping is normal. It's just scary sometimes.
Well ladies you have a nice weekend and I'll update as soon as I hear something on Monday.
Ad_06: Congrats!! that's a great number!! I think this is it! Congrats to you and DH!! I will be praying for a great number on Sunday and for a very sticky bean!!
Luvkayln: 2am!! Girl I am glad your maternity leave starts soon!! You need to rest!! Addy will keep you busy in just 2 more weeks!! and you sure need all the rest you can get!
Leighanne: that's great news you and your boyfriend are working things out...just make sure this time is a for real thing before lookging for Jayden's little brother or sister, if it was hard with one, imagine with two or three!! I say just give yourselfs time to just Enjoy your life how it is now with the three of you, grow stronger and then decide as a family what to do next!! Good luck!
MrSpace: did you have your lap yesterday? How are you feeling?
Mommyin10: Hope you are home having a great weekend celebrating the good news!!
Ad_06 congratulations I bet you're thrilled happy healthy9 months well done
