********* Open Forum Friday ************* TGIF!!!

[micheleB]

Good morning everyone, thought I'd get one going, although it did take me a few attempts.

cmn - have you tested yet?  I'm crossing my fingers for you!

Kassimom - didn't see you on at all yesterday, you must be enjoying some time with your DD.

Blondie - haven't seen you on for awhile, hope you're feeling good and all is going well.

Happy Friday thoughts to everyone else (emma, christie, capermom, stillamom, nanakay, and all! )

Happy Friday everyone! Well AFP is coming up next week and I'm getting really anxious! I had finally calmed down from first finding out when we were pregnant,and now I feel like all that anxiety is coming back. I hate that it takes a week to find out the results, and if anything comes back on it, I think I'll have a heart attack right there!

FYI - this is how we found out our second daughter had died. Her heart had quit beating and the test had come back that something was abnormal.

CMN - DID YOU TEST????? WE ALL ARE DYING TO KNOW!!!!

CHEESETOO - how are you doing. Haven't heard from you in a while!

BUCKEYE - I'm still thinking of you and hope you are doing ok.

STEPH - hated to hear that you got AF, but glad to know that the Clomid is working well for you!

Yeah, Ultrasound day for me.  I am so excited I can barely concentrate on anything else.  My doctor only allows 1 for a "normal/healthy" pregnancy so this is the first one and will probably be the only one I get. Hopefully the little bugger will let us get a peek between those legs.  I am 20 weeks so we should be able to tell what we are having if the baby will cooperate. I will let you all know either later or tomorrow.  Wish me luck.

[micheleB]

Good luck on your ultrasound.... I'm sure it will be fine.  Do you have any preference (or wishes) for a boy or a girl?

[Missy04]

I really don't have a preference.  I think it would be nice to have a little girl again and to be able to use all of the stuff I already have, but I think it would also be nice to have a little boy and be able to shop for new things.  With my DD we did not know (by her choice not mine, she had those little legs so tightly crossed) so the nursery is very neutral and I also have a lot of neutral clothing at least for the 0-3 months stuff.  Now I am looking forward to doing a very gender specific room as we are moving DD out of the nursery and into a "Big Girl Room" so it will be all Girl. Anyway I asked DH last night and he says that he really doesn't have a preference either way but has a feeling it is a boy, so maybe secretly he is wishing it is a boy.  Thanks for the luck today!

HELP!!! I got my friend on May 19th for 2 days and the first day was mostly brown. My husband and I have had sex since then but I was a little concerned that my period only lasted 2 days. We found out a week later that my husband's "boys" aren't swimming. So he needs to go back to the doctor to get tested in 3 months.......BUT.......ever since Monday I've been so nauseous (?) I can't stand it.......every time I try and eat I feel like I could vomit.......sorry if TMI!....I can't even eat a Poptart in the morning without feeling sick by the time I get to work.....and it's only a matter of about 1/2 hour.......someone please help........if I'm way off on the possiblity of being preggo someone please tell me.......I've never felt this sick before in my life...

[cmn]

I would test if i were you, you never know what could happen. Even thought the Dr sais that DH Friends aren't swimming, they might be out to prove him wrong. God works wonderful miricles in everyones lives.

[tresmathews]

Test! LOL I had thought I was preg 2 wks before I got a positive result on a HPT. So don't get upset if the first is negative. I you keep feeling weird test again. You know your body better than anyone. Good luck.

[nanakay]

[cmn]

Sorry to hear that AF showed up this month, I'm glad to hear that the clomid worked and that you had a normal AF. You have one more round of clomid don't you? I hope that it works for you next month, i'll send BABY DUST YOUR WAY!!!!!!!!

[nanakay]

ok so i just read over last nights posts that i missed and figured out why i was so out of the loop.

but here's my question....why do YOU have to move. i don't get it... are you going home while he's gone??  i know some people do that.
how lomg do you have before dh leaves....you know maybe you just bd like rabbits until then and then wamo a bfp

~nanci

[Emma1]

yeah, she posted yesterday! But she seems o.k. with it! At least the clomid is working!!! I hate it for her too! I think she another shot though before DH leaves, so we'll have to send a lot of baby dust her way!

[tresmathews]

Sending a ton of baby dust your way:) Form me and all the women around me who have been amaking me drink their water since they found out they were preggers. So heres hoping for both of us lol.

[StephW]

Thanks Ladies! I'm hoping for it too, but now I'm just tired of being sad all the time and thinking about it. With DH leaving, that's all I'm concerned about now. He's leaving anywhere from June 16th to end of June, MAYBE 1st week in July. I'm not from here and its a small town, since he'll be gone 12-18 months, I'm going back home to be w/ my family.

SOoooo busy right now trying to find moving and storage company, and company to ship my car. PLUS I have 2 cats I have to deal w/ when I travel on plane. That's going to be a real PITA! I'm going from upstate NY to Tampa, Florida.

Well day2 today. Still haven't gotten my progestrone results back and won't until Monday. But wanted to get them now to see if I had a good o' at least. Cuz if not, I was going to up dosage to 100mg and I start tomorrow (3-7days) so I guess I'll stick w/ 50mg??? Can I up dosage in middle of it, if I find my level was at like 5? and do 100mg days 5-7???

Hey everyone. A while back I posted a concern I was having with bleeding and spotting. I just recently found out I have bacteria vaginosis and am being treated for it. As of right now I am 9 weeks. I understand BV can cause or increase chances of miscarrying or preterm labor. Was wondering if anyone has had it or knows of anyone who has had during pregnancy. Any similar experiences and info would be appreciated. Blessings.

[Missy04]

Just wanted to update after my ultrasound.  They could not tell what sex the baby is.  Even though I said I would not be I am so angry and disappointed I have been fighting back tears and I am so depressed today.  I know I should just be thankful and happy about the baby but I really wanted to know the sex, and the funny thing is I have no preference either way I JUST WANT TO KNOW. We couldn't tell with my DD either but she was in a weird position (very low in my pelvis) so I thought I would be able to tell at least this time.  What is even more frustrating is the tech was so unfriendly.  She wasn't rude or anything just very down to business and she came off as 'I don't care I'm just here to do my job'. She had no personality at all.  I even tried to joke with her a few times with no response.  My DH said he thought she was a mute because she just did her job and barely explained what she was seeing on the screen.  I am just so angry and upset, maybe even more so because the ultrasound itself was not really enjoyable because of the tech's personality (or shall I say lack of one).  

At least when I had the ultrasound while pregnant with my DD the tech was fun and explained everything on the screen and I felt like she really tried and made the ultrasound so enjoyable. This time it was so cold and very business like.

My doctor doesn't have the machine in her office so all patients are sent to the hospital or some off site facility owned by the hospital so it probably wouldn't make a difference if I complain but I am still definately going to make my doctor aware of the awful experience I had, but that still doesn't mean I will get another one and it probably won't even make me feel better.  My doctor usually says just be thankful your healthy and you don't NEED another ultrasound.  Anyway thanks for letting me vent!
