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.

ad_06: That's great your step-son is doing better! :) Just a short time til you test! How ate you feeling?

Keyan: How are you? Any AF feelings?

dnikki: Sounds like you had a great time last night :) Hooray for drywall being finished!!! I
know that's exciting :) dh has the babies' room ready to patch & prime the walls. We'll probably paint next weekend :) Now, to find a color for a boy & a girl... ;) I know how you feel about looking stuff up. I did it to reassure myself. Because there were no supportive findings, they'll probably resolve on their own! :)

Luvkayln: 22 days til Adalynn's B-Day!!! :) Looks like we just missed each other yesterday. Your shower sounds like fun! It's always amazing to me how everything can be planned w/out the guest of honor knowing :) What a nice surprise for you! :) Yesterday I got up early & cleaned for about 2 hours. I was exhausted! ;) Then I shopped for more maternity clothes & bought my first little boy outfits :) My MIL stopped by in the afternoon, which was nice. She

[Keyan]

Good Morning!

Mommyin10: This is the week!! Wednesday will be here before you know it and Friday is just some days away! I am praying you get the good positive results we are all waiting for! about me....nothing, I don't feel nothing....is like when you feel right after AF is done, when you have no sensations at all....that's how I feel...nothing. ;o( just waiting.

Luvkayln: Again, Congrats on your babyshower!! ...that must have been very nice and exciting! I love surprises!! I know this was a great one for you...will you post pic? ...maybe you already did...hummm I have to ck your page.

Pyar and Ad_06: good luck to you both!! we need some BFPs to keep our thread with happy and exciting news!!

[ad_06]

I can't believe it is Monday already...lol I am exhausted this morning. Since I am 10 dpiui, I went ahead and tested this morning to see if the overdril is out of my system. It was a BFN. So now I know if I get a + in a few days that is real :) Having very little to no symptoms, kinda makes me think it didn't work, but we'll see. I'm trying to still think positive. Well I better get ready for work. Keep your fingers crossed for me :) Hope you all have a wonderful Monday...

ad_06: That's exactly right. No more Ovidrel in your system! :) When will you test again? Best wishes!!!

Keyan: Thanks :) I hope you're right! I'm anxious for our results. It'll be good to have answers :) Will you make an appt or just wait it out?

Luvkayln: 21 days til Adalynn's B-Day!!! :)

[luvkayln]

Keyan- Thanks for the note! :) I'm so sorry this cycle is messing with you so bad! :( I know that's gotta be so aggrivating! Hopefully she'll show by the end of the week since that is what Medhelp is predicting with your chart... Maybe if AF doesn't show by the end of the week, you can get some provera to bring on AF? I haven't posted pics yet of the baby shower. I'm waiting for the family to send them to me! lol! Since it was a suprise, I wasn't prepared with a camera! Haha!! ;) Hope you had a great weekend!

Mommyin10- Keyan is right! Wednesday will be here before you know it, and then we'll get some answers on Friday, just a few days away!! :) I know you'll get great news tho, so I'm not at all worried! ;) I'm excited for my u/s tomorrow! We'll finally get Addy's weight!! This will be the last time though, so I'll just add 1 1/2lb or so to her weight tomorrow and that'll be my guess for her birth weight! :) I'm guessing 7lb 8oz at birth, Sean says 7lb 7oz, so we'll see! Watch her be 9lbs or something! lol ;) I'm getting more and more anxious, it seems like the days are flying by and I"m SO ready, yay!!! :) Hope you had a great weekend as well! :)

Ad_06- Congrats on the hcg shot being out of your system! :) Hey, don't look into any "signs" of being pregnant because seriously, when we got pregnant with Addy I really felt like it didn't work either! I had no clue! ;) I tested at 9dpiui at it was +, most likely from the hcg shot, and I didn't test again until 13dpiui and it was a true +, so maybe wait till your closer to the end?? Either way, we're all rooting for your BFP! ;)

Kmcarino- When's your next u/s?

Stacey & Candie- Thinking of you both! ;)

[sbumblebeeo]

luvkayln-  WOW!  21 days.  It's coming so fast.  I can't believe how fast it all passes.  I am so excited for you and good luck tomorrow at the appointment, not that you need it.  I was so excited to hear that Shelby weighted 11 ounces.  I didn't expect to hear that.  My little pop can I call her.  No bigger than a pop can.... I can't wait for pictures!!  Take Care!

[kmcarino]

I will have my next ultrasound when I have the CVS in a week from now.  ONly three weeks until Addy is here!

[dnikki0928]

Keyan: Hopefully AF will show for you this week! Will you call your doc's office and see what they can do if she doesn't show? It su cks, but it might take a cycle or so to get you back to before. These bug bites finally quit itching!!! It's such a relief lol! Hope all is well your way!

Mommyin10: Wednesday is almost here! I know your results will be just fine :-) I still have another 2wks until the next full anatomy scan which is on the 1st, then the glucose on the 3rd. It's going to be a busy week with that and then DS's birthday is on the 2nd!

Ad: Sending tons of SSBD your way!!! I feel ya on the Monday thing today...I am exhausted too! I've already taken a nap lol!!!

Luvkayln: I can't believe you are so close to meeting little Addy!!! Did you get a lot of stuff at the shower? Can't wait to see pics!

AFM: I got the bedroom above the garage primed yesterday - not doing any painting today lol - I have to work 4-9 and I'm already tired and have taken a nap lol! I don't think I'll be able to paint until first thing Wed. morning or even on Thursday...I at least want to get that bedroom completed first so we can move the office in there and then get DS's room (where office is now) painted and set up.
We've got 2wks and 1 day until our next anatomy scan - and the final confermation (sp?) that she is still a she lol. I haven't taken any of the tags off the new clothes and stuff we bought...A girl I work with just gave me 2 huge bags of girl clothes, and then my cousin gave me a tote and bag full!! I'm so grateful for it! It sure saves a lot of money ;-) I've started noticing I'm gaining wieght in my thighs (again...) and also I'm getting lovehandles lol...Oh well, I can just try to work my butt off (literally!) after she's born!! I'm carrying way differently than with DS though - I think b/c she's sitting low it makes me look a bit smaller...Is that possible? Well, I should go get ready for work so I'm not rushing around in an hour lol....Check in tomorrow!! Have a great day everyone!!

Hugs, Love and SSBD to all :-)

[leighanne143]

hey ladies, hows everyone?

Congrats luvkayln, its getting close to your time where you get to meet her.

luvkayln- the twins US look great and you look wonderful.

jaedyn is now 9 months old.  I am going to post his new pics that his god mother had done, they are so cute.  i will let you all know when i put them up.

[dnikki0928]

Putting up new pics :-) (Work called, my 400 didn't book so I don't have to go in 'till 5 :-)

[mommyin10]

Luvkayln: Thanks for being so positive for me :-) That's funny you & Sean are guessing so close in weight! It'll be fun to find out her weight tomorrow. I can imagine how you feel! My days are flying by, too, but 21 days will definitely go fast :) How exciting!

dnikki: Wow, that is a busy first week of Dec for you! :) That's great you get another full anatomy scan. I wonder if I will too. We scheduled our 3D/4D u/s at a private place for Dec 16. I'm excited about that :) Congrats on your progress! That'll be great to move ds before his b-day :) Thanks for the good wishes!!!

Leighanne: I'm assuming your note was to me ;) Thanks! I think our little boy's pic turned out so darn cute :) It'll be amazing to get the next pics in Dec, 4 weeks later :) I'm sure they'll have grown so much! Wow, 9 months?!? It's so hard to believe. Looking forward to his new pics!

[dnikki0928]

Okay, so I guess I'm not putting up pics - MH won't let me yet again...I'll try again tomorrow.

[ad_06]

I will probably wait until 14 dpiui which will be Friday.....So if I am it should so then.. Thanks for all the support girls, this would be so much harder without you all!

[Keyan]

luvkayln: Good luck today! I will be thinking of you today!....hummm maybe 8 lb ...I guess we will all know more today!!

Mommyin10: tomorrow you will get to see your little ones! is there a chance you get the results from the amnio tomorrow too?

Dnikki: I know! they finally stoped itching, but now I am left with so many bite marks, hopefully it will be gone too pretty soon, it sure doesn't look good when wearing sandals! try taking it easy at home!! you still have a few weeks to go!

Dnikki, Mommyin10 & Luvkayln: about making an appt, well I was suppose to come in December, but I was going to wait until I got a BFP (being really positive)....I think if by december AF hasn't shown, I will most defentely will call for an appt. I really hope I don't have to take anything to bring AF, I really don't want to continue on with hormones, after so many months with hormones all over the place, I am not looking foward to taking any more. ;o( ...fingers crossed she shows this week!

Ad_06: 14dpiui sounds like a great plan! Friday it is!! Good luck!

Leighanne: it is nice to hear from you....Jaedyn's b-day is coming up soon, do you have any plans yet for his B-day?

Yesterday, after taking a shower I fell down on the floor, right after I started having like AF type of cramps and still today, hopefully it works to get her here!  I am sore all over, but I am ok. ...why do we all (most of the time) react laughing at situations like this, I did, and every time I think of it, I start laughing!! LOL!

[luvkayln]

Keyan-OMG girl, you crack me up! lol ;) I'm glad you see humor in different situations! That's what makes you so much fun! Haha!! :) I completely understand about not wanting to take anymore hormones! I can only imagine how sick you are of them! Uugh!! Hopefully she'll show by the end of the week, and it sounds like she will since you're feeling like it now. You definately ovulated this cycle so I have no doubts that she'll arrive if no BFP! Thanks for the good luck today! I can't wait to get Addy's weight! :) It's hard to believe that after today, I only have 2 more appointments.... Wow!! :)

Leighanne- Thanks, I know! I am just so ready! :) Is Jaedyn getting pics with Santa Clause this year? I thought about it, but she'll only be a couple weeks old and Sean says NO! lol! I'm like "Why?!" He's worried about all the germs from the other kids, so I laughed and said "Ok, when I hand her to him, I'll spray him down with Lysol!" Haha!! :) Can't wait to see new pics of your little man! :)

Mommyin10- Yayy, you get to see your sweeties tomorrow! :) Have they started weighing them yet? It'll be interesting to see who's bigger, your baby boy or girl?! :) I'm glad your pregnancy is going by quickly too! It's sad b/c pregnancy is just so much fun, but I swear, the day I found out I was pregnant I was ready to give birth! lol ;) I think it's b/c with Kayln I just wanted to be pregnant since it was my first full term, and we didn't get to take her home with us. So this time, I've just been ready the whole time and God has my back and knows b/c it's just flying by! :) I'll post pics from last week's u/s and this week when we get home! We're taking our tour today since Sean finally gets to come with me again! :)

Dnikki- How cool that you're getting so many clothes given to you for Peyton! :) It sure helps just b/c they grow so fast!! Addy's entire dresser is full of just 0-3 months, and I know there's no way she'll get to wear them all! Oh well! ;) I totally hear ya about your thighs tho, omg! I can totally tell I've gained in my thighs and my arms too, but I don't care! :) It'll come right off after she's born! It's so funny how each pregnancy is so different, huh? :) I hope you didn't work too hard last night since you were probably already draggin a** when you went in! lol! Can't wait to see new pics! :)

Ad_06- Ok, friday it is! :) I can't wait to hear your great news!!!

ad_06: I'm excited for you to test on Friday! Just a few more days to go...

Keyan:  That is funny! :) haha! I'm glad you didn't hurt yourself, tho :) That's great you're feeling like she's coming. It'll be nice to see that you're totally back to normal with your cycles after so long on meds! Yes, there's a chance we'll get our results tomorrow! They said 7-10 days & I hoped it would be tomorrow since I'm off work. I don't want to be at work & possibly get bad news... I'm still staying positive, tho ;)

Luvkayln: Have fun seeing Addy today & that's great you'll get your tour today, too! How's dh feeling? You know, if they've weighed our babies, they haven't told us 'cause I have no idea. I'm sure our boy is bigger, tho. Our little girl is still measuring 3 days behind. I know how you feel. I absolutely love being pregnant! :) I love my belly & I'm so happy, but whenever there's a chance anything could be wrong, I'm so ready to have them in my arms. Can't wait for your update! :) Just 20 days til Adalynn's B-Day!!! :)

[leighanne143]

yes mommyin10 that was to you.  My brain  is all over the place and i didnt realize that i didnt address it to you.

Keyan- jaedyn's b-day is Feb 10th.  I am going to do a big family party at my house and then bring him and a few of his baby friends that weekl to a place called pump it up.  i called them and they said that 1 year olds can go but the parents have to jump with them.  I am a big kid at heart so i am all about jumping on big inflatable things.

luvkayln- yes i am going to do his pics with santa and holiday family pics.  i have to schedule them soon.  You can always buy her the newborn x mas outfit and take pics of her at home.  just put a nice white fleece pillow around a boppy and it will look professional, or make the hubby dress up as santa. ahahahah.

i will post his pics tonight.  i have been crazy busy at work but i promise.

[mrspace24]

Hey everyone!  

Well I am preparing for our doctor's appointment right now.  JOY!  The pain keeps getting worse so hopefully we can figure something out.  

On a happy note, DH and I made some decisions about our TTC stuff.   We are definitely waiting until next year to make any big decisions and we want to see what's going on with me medically...BUT... we did decide that if things don't get better here in a hurry, we're going to adopt!!!  We may wait just a little bit to do so (pay off some more debt, fix up the house a little more, etc).  But that's the plan if things don't get better soon.  I don't want to TTC with all these health problems still unfixed.  So we'll see where that goes.  We did find out that the local churches around here are "safe havens" I think that's what their called.  They also have a program where teen moms can give their babies up for adoption without going to the big fancy adoption agencies that charge you an arm and a leg.  It's a simpler process and less expensive.  They work more with private adoptions (obviously).  So we'll probably go that route.  

I just wanted to share that tidbit with you all.  

luvkayln- I can't believe it's coming up so fast.  I cannot wait to meet her.  And we will get together after she's here and the weather calms down lol. I am so excited I can hardly stand it.

mommyin10- I have my fingers crossed for Wednesday and Friday for you.  I hope all goes great and I can't wait to see more pictures of your gorgeous self!  You look awesome, Momma!

dnikki- I am so glad that things are going so well for you guys.  And I'm excited for your final anatomy scan.  

keyan- I don't blame you AT ALL for being sick of the hormones. I'm sure we can all relate.  They s u c k.  But I love that you can still smile and laugh through it all.  That shows just how wonderful and strong you are.  You're in my prayers as always, hun.

okay...time to head home so DH and I can drive to the doctor's office!  Thanks for all the support everyone!

[mommyin10]

Sorry, I thought your appt was yesterday... I hope everything goes well today! Will they run tests? It sounds like you & dh have made some good decisions for your futures ;) Take care of mommy first! The adoption idea is very exciting! Thanks for your sweet comments & well wishes :) I really appreciate it! Take care & let us know how your appt goes today.

[luvkayln]

Hey ladies, just a quick update b/c I'm pooped and need a nap! lol! Our appointment today went great! :) They weighed her for the last time today, and 3 weeks ago she weighed 4lb, 6oz and today she weighed 4lb, 15 oz. I was a little worried that she didn't gain that much, but my doctor said she basically gained all her weight in the beginning and is now slowly putting weight on, which is fine. So that made me feel better. So now I'm changing my birth weight guess for her, since they say she should gain a 1/2 pound a week. So, I say 6.5-7 lbs. :) That's a pretty safe guess! lol ;) She was breached today tho! :( She had been head down for 3 weeks, so my doctor was pretty sure she wouldn't move from that stage, but she did. She said if she's still that way in a week and a half, she'll probably stay there but there's remedies they can do to fix it. They said they can try to physically move her back to head down, and if that doesn't work, they'll have to do a c-section. But I swear she moved back down during our NST, and she got the hiccups too and they were real low so I asked my doctor and she said she's most likely back head down, so that was a relief! :) We'll see where she is next week. :) Anyway, I got new pics so I'll upload those along with last week's later on today. I think Sean and I are going to put up our Christmas tree today, and get the attic cleaned out. That's one of my goals before Addy gets here! Hope eveyrone is having a great day!

Mommyin10- Oh, awesome! I guess I just had my heart set on you finding out the results friday, but I'll keep everything crossed that you find out tomorrow instead! :) And I hear ya, you'll have the day off IF bad news is recieved, but I really don't think you'll get bad news! What time is your appointment?

Mrspace- Good luck at your doctors appointment today! Be sure and let us know what happens. I feel like you will concieve (conceive) on your own and be able to bring your baby into this world, but I'm happy you and dh have discussed other options on getting your miracle as well. :)

Leighanne- Ya, that's true! :) It's amazing to me how many times I'll be changing Addy's outfit Christmas day b/c my mom made her a christmas dress, bought her a "first christmas" outfit and a christmas sleeper to wear that night! I love the idea of Sean dressing up as Santa tho! Haha!! :)

Ok, nap time...! ;)

[ad_06]

Ladies I am getting really nervous about testing in 3 days! Imagine that, I couldn't hurry it up fast enough and now I don't want to test......lol
The only thing that has change is the fatigue.....today has been the most exhausting day I've had in forever and I haven't done anything!?! My long work hours are over because the lady I was caring for passed away on Sunday. So literally I only had to work 3 hours today, but I'm drained :)
Well I will let everyone know as soon as I test. I have a ? though, will the progesterone stop AF from coming? or should she still come naturally if I'm not pregnant?
I also wanted to let you all know that I uploaded a few new pics. Well I think I am going to go to bed......I'll check in tomorrow.

[mommyin10]

Luvkayln: You must have been pooped! I've been checking to see your new pics :) I hope to see your cutie tomorrow :) How exciting that you can guess her birth weight! She'll be a perfectly healthy weight, which I'm sure is reassuring :) And she's quite an active little one, huh? Maybe she's playing hide & seek ;-) How was the tour of the hospital? I love the idea of Sean dressing up as Santa! That would be so cute :) My appt with my ob is 9:30. It's nice to get to see the babies again after just seeing them last week! My ob's u/s isn't as good, so I probably won't be posting new pics, but I can't wait to see them :) My results will come from the genetic counselor & I'm really hoping she calls tomorrow... I'll keep you posted :)

ad_06: Yes, the progesterone will likely delay AF & it can also make you very tired! Those are also positive signs, though, so who knows?! :) Best wishes on Friday!

[Keyan]

Luvkayln: can't wait to see Addy's new pic....maybe she will weight close to 7lb. but I guess since she is coming a little before her due date, it can have a difference of about 1lb or so. anyway she will be just perfect!!

Mommyin10: Good luck today!! I will be praying for great results!

MrSpace: how did your appt go? Adoption is a great option, but it doesn't mean it will be a less stressful time...it does s u ck...we have thought about it many times, just yesterday we were talking about, but it has its own stress and we just don't know what to do....even If I ever have a biological child, we have always thought about adopting one, but I just think that If I have one bioligical that it will be less stressful to try adoption, probably not the case, but is just what I think. anyway I hope it all works out for you both! I think is a great idea to wait and seek medical attention and try to get as healthy as possible.

[sbumblebeeo]

mommyin10-  LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS OF LUCK AND LOVE COMING YOUR WAY.  We are all praying for great results!!!!!  Enjoy seeing those two little ones today.

XOXO

[dnikki0928]

Mommyin10: Thinking of you today!!!!

I'll update more later!

Mommyin10- I was pooped! lol ;) I know, I didn't get Addy's new pics uploaded but I really will do it today after work, I promise!! ;) It doesn't help me wake up either when it's been crappy outside all week, just raining nonstop! Uugh! I know the boys love it b/c they've been in all week! It's supposed to clear up tomorrow and be a beautiful weekend, so I can't wait! :) I'll be thinking of you all day today! I'm glad your OB appt is early today! Is dh able to go with you? I know you usually make them later so he can go. I'm praying the gentic tests come back today, but either way, Friday is only a couple days away and you've been doing awesome waiting this long for them impatiently! ;) We did take a tour, well kinda. We just basically went over to see where we were supposed to go since we've never delivered at this hospital before. :) It's easy, right there on the first floor! Haha!! Well, have a great day and I can't wait for your update! :)

Keyan- It's funny b/c the dr told me she'll gain about a half pound a week from now until she's born, so that'll make her right around 6.5 lbs and I told my mom that, and she's like "I guess you just grow small babies!" I'm like "Mom, that's pretty average! Especially b/c she'll be 2.5 weeks early!" ;) Addy's weight is exactly 1 lb less than Kayln's was at birth right now, but Kayln was born at 36 weeks. Which gets me worried for next week! I'll be happy to be at 36 weeks, but it'll be scary and I'll just be ready to get through that next week, ya know? Anyway, I didn't know you were considering adoption! I can imagine the stress that comes along with that, but that's great you're thinking about it! :)

Ad_06- I agree with Mommyin10, progesterone can delay your cycle but it won't prevent it from coming. And yes, it does cause fatigue but that is a great sign that you're having it! :) I really hope this is your cycle, and I understand the "hurry and up and get to the end" and then when it finally comes, your nerves start to really set in about testing! At least you know the hcg trigger is out of your system! :) Friday is only a couple days away, and I'm praying that you see that ++++!!! Good luck! :)

Mrspace- How'd your appt go?

Officially 1 week to go before I start maternity leave! Woo hoo!!! ;) And yayy, we're in the "teens" on days before Addy's birthday! Just 19 more to go! :)

Mrspace: How was your appt?

dnikki: Happy 27 Weeks!!! :)

Keyan, dnikki & sbumblebeeo: Thank you!!! :) I'll be sure to update asap if I get the call today.   

Luvkayln: 19 days til Adalynn's B-Day!!! :) That's awesome you just have 1 week to go & then you're on maternity leave!!! I'm so happy for you :) dh is off this week. He took a week off in Oct, Nov & Dec so he could get stuff done. So, I made the appt for early, but he's not coming with me. It's ok. It's just my ob appt. He's planning to prime the babies' room today & then we'll pick out a paint color!!! I'm excited :) He's fishing tomorrow, but will probably paint on Friday & then he can get started on the moulding. It's all coming together :) I can imagine how you feel approaching week 36... It's good to know you'll be taking it easy & you're being monitored so closely! Everything will work out perfectly, as Kayln will continue to watch over her little sister :) I'll definitely let you know if I hear anything today.

[leighanne143]

luvkayln- jaedyn was 6.13lbs and he was 2 weeks early, so addy's weight is just perfect.  the doctors told me if they didnt have to take him 2 weeks early that he would have been 8 lbs.

mommyin10- so what are you new syptoms (symptoms)/pregnancy things that your feeling?  any new strange things?  have you seen your belly like comletly move from one side to the other?  its the weirdest and funniest thing ever.

ad_06- mommy is right.  if you arent preg, the progesterone usually does not allow you to get your period until you stop it but we are all keeping our fingers crossed for a BFP.  i remember how tired i was on progesterone but then again i was preggo, so that is a good sign:)

[mrspace24]

Hey everyone.  Just a quick update today because I'm swamped with phone calls.  

I am having surgery on Friday.  It's a Lap + some other ****.  They are going to check a bunch of things, including doing an endometrial, cervical, and ovarian biopsy.  And testing for Endo. He had a cancellation last minute and can fit me into his surgical rotation, so yay me.  I'm super nervous/scared, but I'm sure it'll all go fine.

Thanks for all the well wishes and I love you all!  

I will be sure to update again when I can. I am having trouble with my stupid job and getting off work for my surgery.  They don't want to let me have Friday off work even though I have 2 weeks of vacation to use by Dec. 31.  It's just all kind of stupid.  But oh well. I'll get it worked out.  Thanks for all the support everyone!

[leighanne143]

mrspace- are you serious, your job gave you trouble when your having a procedure?  Oh i would be mad.  But good for you that you got it worked out and the doctor had such a quick appointment.  Hopefully you get some answers and have a good direction to start in once the doctor gets back all the results.

[Kaylee_Frye]

Hi ladies - I know I already had my baby, but I love dropping in on you guys from time to time to see how things are going.  I hope you don't mind!

I am still on maternity leave and Hayden had her 2 month appointment.  It's the appointment where they give her shots, which was so sad!  She thought it was playtime when I was holding her arms still, giggling away when the tech reached for a leg and stuck her.  I squatted in the room for 20 mins after to get her calmed down, poor little girl.  Things are going good though.  She's almost 11 lbs now, in the 50th %tile in weight, 70th%tile in length for her age, which the doctor says is great considering she was born almost a month early.

I'm happy to see things are going well.  I posted some more recent pictures of her in case anyone is curious :)

Luvkayln: Hayden was 6 lbs 12 oz when she was born and had zero health problems.  I was sort of worried about her being early, but now that it's behind me, I'm kind of grateful for the easy delivery.  It took just 10 mins of pushing (6 pushes).  I don't know how the 10 lbers do it - ouch!  I'm sorry she upset you - it seems like everyone has something to say about the welfare of your baby, even when it's unsolicited, at least that's been the experience with me.  My mom has been criticizing me for weeks because I'm struggling with Hayden's sleep patterns and won't let my baby 'cry it out' in her bassinet.  I hated telling my mom eventually to just button it and she's going to have to trust me because like it or not, I'm Hayden's mom.  I'm not saying at all that's what you should do, I can just sympathize with feeling down when anyone says something negative about the welfare of your child.  I'm very excited for you and can't WAIT to check back here to see your new baby pics!

MrsPace:  Where do you live?  That should be illegal!  I hope it does get straightened out as you expect.

Mommyin10:  Yay!  You're over half-way there with your double bundle :)  I love the new preggo pics.  Are you pretty comfortable so far?

I love you all!

[dnikki0928]

Luvkayln: YAY for maternity leave!!!! I can't wait to start mine - work is just kicking my butt these days...I'm thinking my OB will want me to cut back a little more before I start leave which is FINE WITH ME LOL!!!

Mommyin10: Hope everything is good with the u/s today!!! Update when you can!

Mrspace: Glad you called earlier - it's been forever since I've talked to you!!! Good luck on Friday - you know I hope for the best!

AFM: I painted alllllll day today (or so it feels like lol...). I got the rest of the upstairs primed then painted the upper half of the walls in the room above the garage. Then I figured the since the recoat time is only 2-4hrs with this paint, I'll just go ahead and paint the hallway and closets lol. I'm pooped!! Somehow I still managed to get dinner going - very easy tonight but still lol! It's not even 530 here and I'm ready for bed :-)
Everything else is going well - DS's birthday is creeping up on us, but with the rate things are going we should still be able to get him into his big boy room before then.  Well, DS and DH just got home, so I'll check in later!!! Hope everyone had a great day!!

Hugs, Love and SSBD to all :-)

[ad_06]

Thanks ladies, I have never taken progesterone before....so I thought you ladies would know. When I got mine filled, usually a leaflet come with it on side effects and so on, but mine was blank....lol

The fatigue is about to kick my butt!! It's awful. I did get about an hour nap in today, but I am still so tired! I am getting a little more excited for Friday, but still really nervous. My 2 pregnancy before I absolutly knew I was pregnant before I even tested....but it's always different each time. We'll see :)

Well ladies I think I am going to watch a little tv then I am heading to bed.

I'll be thinking about you all!

[mommyin10]

Hi. Sorry for taking so long to update. I had a busy day off. We haven't heard from the genetic counselor yet, so we're still waiting... My ob appt went well. My belly measured right on target & the babies were just as cute as ever :) Her hb was about 150 & his was 140. My ob wants me to have my cervical length measured every other week, so I'll be seeing the high risk doc again on Tuesday. I'm happy about that. I feel like I'm
being monitored closely :) So, thanks for all the well wishes & I'll keep you all updated when we finally hear from the genetic counselor.

Leighanne: I haven't seen movement in my belly yet, but it will be exciting! :) My ob said I should start feeling them soon :) As far as
symptoms, I've been having major acid reflux/heartburn. I'm also tired,
but other than that, it's going great :)

mrspace: I'm sorry you're having to go through a surgery, but it sounds like it's necessary & hopefully it answers lots of questions for you :) I thought you were leaving your job. I can't believe they'd give you a hard time. I agree with Kaylee. It's not right or legal for them to deny you that right. Best wishes & take care!

Kaylee: Of course you can hang out here with us anytime :) It's good to hear from you. Poor Hayden ;( I can imagine those first shots are difficult. It sounds like you're doing so well & I'll check out your new pics soon! Thanks for the pic compliment :) I am feeling comfortable, but I've gained 30 pounds! I'm not used to being so heavy, so it's funny. I have trouble putting my socks on! haha :) dh says, just wait...

dnikki: Wow, you were busy today! Sounds like you got a lot done :) When will you start maternity leave?

[Kaylee_Frye]

Try not to stress about the weight (I know, easier said than done, right?).  I worried about the gain SO much and put on 45 lbs with my pregnancy.  2 months later and I'm only 8 lbs above pre-preggo weight and still losing.  It's just melting away, so next time I don't think I am going to stress as much.

Are you planning to breast feed?  I am and I read that it burns about an extra 600 calories/day.  If you breast feed twins, I can't even imagine how fast the lbs will shed.  Enjoy yourself!  I'm so glad you're enjoying your pregnancy!

All the best :)

Kaylee: I must have sounded like I was complaining about my weight, but I didn't mean it that way at all. I'm not worrying about it one bit. I just think it's funny to see myself, usually petite, growing so big & feeling restricted so early on :) It's all good & like you said, it'll come off after they're born :)

Kmcarino: Congrats on 10 weeks!

pyar: Hang in there! We all get our hopes up, so you're definitely not alone, but it's not over til she shows ;) Any news re: an egg donor?   

Luvkayln: Happy 35 Weeks & 18 days til Adalynn's B-Day!!! :)

[mommyin10]

P.S. Yes, I am planning to breast feed, so that is good to know :) I also heard that if you breast feed for at least 1 year, you're reducing your own risks for heart disease. So, there are lots of benefits, aside from feeding your litte one(s)! ;)

[leighanne143]

mommy- yeah i had heartburn and acid reflux so had towards the end that i was throwing up blood and had to take zantac 2 times a day.  its worked though.  you will start to feel them move soon, its so funny.  then when you see your belly move and jump for the first time you will be so happy and so spooked out also.  it makes things so real.  dont worry about the weight.  i packed on like 55-60 lbs because of the swelling and preclampsia, but i am down now again.  breast feeding helps.  i pumped for 5 weeks and just couldnt do it longer.  but jaedtn got his antibodies from the colestrum (spelling???) and i am happy about that.

[mommyin10]

OMG! I can't tell you all how relieved & happy I am!!! I'm grinning from ear to ear =) I just heard from the genetic counselor & my ob. The amnio revealed two perfectly normal babies, one boy & one girl! 46 chromosomes each & no Down's, spina bifida, or other disorder. Even though I wad staying positive, I was dreading that phone call & now I feel like a huge weight has been lifted =) Thank you for all your prayers & support!!! Woooo-Hooooo!!!!!

[jmh2005]

Congrats mommyin10 I am over the moon for you. What a blessing that everything is fantastic. Congrats and luv to you lady!!!!

ad_06 - good luck on your up coming testing!!!

[GUESITO]

Congratulations, There's absolutely nothing god can't do!!! xoxoxoxox

[leighanne143]

mommy- you must be so happy.  i am thrilled for you.  the joys of having one of each.  the fun of a boy (i really wanted a boy my first, not going to lie) and the ability to dress your lil girl in all the frilly things.

[rachjas0623]

mommyin10- Congrats! That's amazing news!

[kmcarino]

I am so happy for you!  That is just awesome that you have two perfect little babies in there and you will have one of each gender!  You are so blessed and I know you know that:)  I pray that I also get good news from my genetic testing.  You must feel like you are on cloud nine!!!  So I guess this means you conceived one on your own along with IVF?  How incredible!

[Keyan]

2nd try....I've been having internet issues today...hope this one goes thru!

Mommyin10: CONGRATS!! I am so happy for you!! the news came at the right time to celebrate  your 21 weeks!! A perfect little prince and a perfect little princess!! God is great! you have been very blessed!! I know you would have loved your babies eitherway, but it most be a great releif to know that they are healthy in all aspects!! once again CONGRATS to you and DH!! what a great thanksgiving you will have this year, huh?! ...are you ready to share the babies names with us?

Luvkayln: happy 35 weeks!! just 2.5 more weeks until Addy's B-day!! I can imagine your stress reaching the 36 weeks, but this time it will be diferent, like Mommy said, Kayln will and is watching over you and I am sure she already asked God for a safe and healthy delivery for you and Addy! about adoption, when we decide to start a family (yes we were "avoding" having children, silly us!) well as I was saying when we decided to start having children we first decided to try adoption, before having a biological child....when we started gathering information and asking questions, we were surprised about how expensive and stressful it is!! so we decide to try naturally first and then we would figure out how to adopt...so it has and is a constant conversation between dh and I, we just haven't made the decision, probably if by summer we haven't conceived we might actually start the process of adoption....we will see!

Pyar: you are not alone! but like we always say, it is not over until AF shows, so hang in there! hope your temps comes back up again tomorrow!!

Ad_06: Good luck tomrorow!!


SOOOO I have good news to share!! AF show her ugly, well JUST for this time I will say PRETTY face today!!! YAY!!! medhelp was right about my O day...but beleive it that I WILL be using OPKs this next cycle, I will start in about 1.5 weeks!! from today. ....OH and also, ever since I first got my AF for the very first time at age 12, I had no idea how it was to have a PAIN FREE AF!! OMG it is so good!! ...even the AF type of pressure that I have been talking about is gone and I have NO PAIN....I guess the LAP and Lupron combination was awsome! ...when I did my first round of Lupron back in 2005, I had less pain, but I still had pain, now I HAVE NO PAIN, is like a miracle....for the past 19years I have always taken pain meds every month, so this is really good!!

[luvkayln]

Mommyin10- Yayyyy, congrats! I'm SO happy for you that your babies are just perfect, which we knew anyways! ;) But it's great to hear! I know that was just a huge weight off your shoulders, and I'm glad you stayed positive throughout the whole process! You're already a great mommy for staying positive for your little ones! ;) I'm glad you didn't have to wait until Friday too! :) Tuesday already seems so close for our next appointments, since the weekend doesn't count! lol ;)

Keyan- Yayyy, congrats on AF showing! Ok, that sounds funny! lol ;) I'm glad you've decided to use OPK's next cycle, that way there's no confusion! :) I have faith that you and dh will concieve (conceive) by this summer, and maybe down the road, you can adopt too! :)

Ad_06- Come on BFP tomorrow morning!!! Fingers crossed!!! :)

[ad_06]

Mommyin10 - Congrats!!! That is awesome news! I am glad that everything is perfect!

Thanks ladies for the luck tomorrow. I am super nervous again. I will be really surprised if it is a BFP, but I am hanging on to hope. My bbs are getting a little sore, kinda just when I take my bra off, nothing major....but that is something that I have been waiting on this whole 2 weeks...lol Well I will update as soon as I test... Keep those fingers crossed.

I have a ? If I do get a BFN, should I take the progesterone a few more days and test again just to be sure......or what? Thanks ladies

[mommyin10]

Thanks so much for your congrats!!! =)  I appreciate every bit of support & each and every prayer =)  As far as how we conceived boy/girl twins, there are now only two options.  One is that our embryo split & one baby started off with an extra chromosome & dropped it.  That would result in healthy boy/girl twins. I'll ask on Tues if our amnio results would have shown that.  Otherwise, we conceived one on our own, which again is a mystery.  You know how when you're ttc, you remember each and every time you bd?  Well, we honeslty cannot remember bd'ing anywhere near my retrieval.  We actually avoided it just because I was in pain from lugging around 22+ eggs!  haha :)  So, however it happened, I guess it doesn't matter.  We're just so thrilled that all's well!

kmcarino:  Thanks.  How long does it take to get your results back?  We all pray for a healthy baby for you, too :)

Keyan:  Yay for AF! =) That's great news & now you can start your opks in such a short time!  I'm so happy for you that you're not having pain.  That is such a positive step!!!  Thank you so much!  Yes, I already loved my little ones with all my heart, but I feel such a great relief today!  I can't express how happy I am =)

luvkayln:  Thanks for thinking of me as a good mommy cause I stayed so positive :)  That's a good feeling!  You're so right, too.  I was so positive, yet dreaded that phone call...  It sure does feel like a huge weight has been lifted & I now have answers as to their health & gender!  What a huge relief =)  I just got a knock at the door.  My parents sent it's a girl & it's a boy balloons with flowers!  Yay, we both have appts on Tuesday!  Can't wait!!!

ad_06:  We all wish you our best tomorrow!!!  That's a good sign if your bbs are starting to feel sore.  If you test negative, yes, I would wait a few days & test again.  Don't stop the progesterone til you're sure AF's on her way.  Good luck!!!

[pyar]

mommyin10 wooo hoo i'm so pleased for you congrats.
Well my temp went up a little bit this morning so i don't know what that means ??

[sbumblebeeo]

mommyin10-  I so wish I had logged on yesterday afternoon.  I am so happy to hear the great news.  I have been so worried.  My DH doesn't understand how I can worry about woman that I've never really met but I feel like we are great friends and as your friends I couldn't be happier for you!  For the rest of your pregnancy you can rest knowing that your babies are absolutly perfect!  Are they saying that you must have o'ed on your own at the same time?  Not that it matters, I was just curious.  Every baby and every BFP is a miracle but WOW you're must have truly been an act of GOD!  Good for you and congrats from the bottom of my heart....

XOXO

I can't imagine :) The support on here is incredible! Re: boy/girl twins, I posted this yesterday, but you may not have seen it: As far as how we conceived boy/girl twins, there are now only two options.  One is that our embryo split & one baby started off with an extra chromosome & dropped it.  That would result in healthy boy/girl twins. I'll ask on Tues if our amnio results would have shown that.  Otherwise, we conceived one on our own, which again is a mystery.  You know how when you're ttc, you remember each and every time you bd?  Well, we honeslty cannot remember bd'ing anywhere near my retrieval.  We actually avoided it just because I was in pain from lugging around 22+ eggs!  haha :)  So, however it happened, I guess it doesn't matter.  We're just so thrilled that all's well!
Have a wonderful weekend & happy almost 21 weeks ;)

[kmcarino]

mommyin10- Thanks:)  I know it is a complicated and difficult situation, so I really appreciate every prayer that everyone says for my baby.  My test is Monday so I will find out the gender and chromosome results two days later (Wed.) and should know two weeks after that whether the baby has my disorder or not.

Ad_06- Congratulations!!!  You were so patient in waiting to take a test and it sure paid off!  I can't wait to hear your beta results later.  I am sure it will be nice and high:)

[leighanne143]

ad_06- congrats.  your levels will be great.  this is so exciting.

I am so happy for all of you ladies- look we all are having our lil miracles one by one.  This forum is the BEST:)

[leighanne143]

by the way ladies- me and the fiance are doing great.  we are even talking about trying to make jaedyn a big brother in the next year:)

[ad_06]

Thanks for all the notes and congrats'! I am just waiting patiently for the RE to call. I had to call around today and find a pharmacy that is a compounding one, for the progesterone. I did find one, it's 45 mins away...so that isn't that bad. When the RE calls I need to give them the number to make sure I get them before Tuesday. I will update everyone once I get the results....Thanks again!

[ad_06]

Just talked to the nurse. My beta was 82.9!! Is that pretty good at 14dpiui? So this is really it!?! I'll get my next beta Sunday, but won't get the results til Monday.

I know with my pregnancy in April my 1st beta was only 16, so this has to be average right? Keep those fingers crossed.

[mommyin10]

OMG! Congrats to you & dh!!!! That is awesome :) Luvkayln's beta at 13dpo was 86 & look at her now :) I'm so happy for you! Looking forward to your beta on Sunday. Now, take it easy this weekend & congrats!!!

[mommyin10]

That's great you & Jaedyn's dad are doing so well :) That's good to hear!

[ad_06]

Thanks Mommyin10! I can't wait :)

[rachjas0623]

ad_06- CONGRATS! That's a great number!

[leighanne143]

ad_06- that is a great number.  congrats

mommy- thank you.  i know i told people before i was MIA for a while due to seperating with him and trying to work things out.  It was a rocky road for a while but it seems to be going very well.  Communication is key and sometimes its lost when you have a child cause the focus goes on the baby.  So we had to work hard to find a way to assure we kept communicating and focusing on Jaedyn.  Its hard work but we all do it:)

[kmcarino]

Congratulations!  I knew you would get a good number:)

[dnikki0928]

Ad: YAY!!!! That's a great number!!!! Woooo-Hoooo!!!! Congratulations!!! Take it easy and relax this weekend - let that little bean snuggle in there nice and tight!

[luvkayln]

Hi ladies! :) I logged in yesterday and responded to everyone, and then my internet shut down and now I'm at work and it didn't even post it! Uugh!! Anyway, it's 2 am and I'm getting ready to head out the door now, but I just wanted to check in and say hi! :)

Ad_06- Wow, awesome number!! Congrats, YESSS this IS it! :) Mommyin10 is completely right, my number was 86 at 13dpiui and 311 at 15dpiui! I'm SO happy for you!! :)

Hope everyone has a great weekend! I hope to get my internet working sometime today when I wake up! I don't want to have MH withdrawls! lol ;)

[pyar]

Ad_06 congratulations I bet you're thrilled happy healthy9 months well done

[Keyan]

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]

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.

[kmcarino]

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.

[mrspace24]

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.

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!!! :)

[mrspace24]

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]

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!!

[rachjas0623]

mrspace- Yep, what you are experiencing is normal!

[ad_06]

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.

[mrspace24]

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.  

[Keyan]

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: 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!!! :)

[dnikki0928]

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 :-)

[dnikki0928]

Okay, I started typing early this morning and never checked for updates when I got home before I finished typing lol...

Hi ladies well no AF temp dropped this morn took a hpt bfn .So feeling quite confused nothing new there.

[luvkayln]

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!!

[pyar]

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

[Keyan]

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!!

[kmcarino]

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.
