****** Open Forum Tuesday ******

[micheleB]

Well, since nobody has started on yet, I thought I'd start my first open forum.  Good morning everyone!  Hope all are well.  Blondie, I didn't see you post at all yesterday, just wanted to check in and make sure you're okay.

Quick question...our daughter has been soiling about 16 diapers a day since Saturday....1 poop and the rest urine.  She hates being wet.  Has anyone experienced this many diapers in a day?  She is going to the doc today with mom, bnut want to know if anyone has any knowledge of things like this.

Thanks,
Mat

Good morning to all as well.  I hope everyone has a wonderful Tuesday!!!

[mls1604]

I'm going to apologize in advance if this is TMI for anyone. But, I was ovulating from March 29th thru April 3. My husband and I had "realtions" on the 29th, 31st and 3rd. ever since the 3rd I've had this very, very running white discharge every morning I wake up and it lasts throughout the day. I'm not due for my friend until April 16th. Does anyone have any idea what this could be????? I've never had this happen before. Help!!

Blondie and Capermom,

I just got your kind words from yesterday today, so that is why I am posting here.  

Blondie,

Thanks so much for the advice.  I was thinking maybe there is tissue left, that is why I am still bleeding.  I have a doctors appointment on Friday, and will demand an ultrasound just to be sure. I am just wondering did your DR put you off too and tell you just to put your feet up? That's what my dr keeps telling me.  I don't see how that can help anything.

Capermom,
It really means alot to me to here your thoughts on what I am going through.  I know you have been this route far to many times.  I wish you all the best with this new pg.  Thanks again.

Okay that was weird. I am on auto log in on this site and when I posted earlier this morning I was able to post just fine, but then when I tried to just now, it made me re-log-in. (roll eyes)

Oh well-as for the diaper question-how much your daughter puts out, should be in direct relation to how much goes in. If she drinks alot,she'll pee alot. This is not a bad thing. It means her system is really cleaned out. Be happy. My daughter held in her pee as soon as she learned how to and now we are faced with UTI's often. Twice she has been hospitalized for this and once had to have a catheterization. Change those diapers and thank your stars she pees alot rather than not at all!

Blondie posted yesterday that she can't get on as often because the gorilla types at her office started monitering her internet access. Because you know, this forum is so offending to anyone browsing it during working hours.

As for the discharge question, I have had that since I got pregnant. Someone on here told me it was called Leakoreah (sp?. Anyway, long as it isn't thick and smelly, I wouldn't worry about it.

[BostTTC]

Well, on a positive note we know she's not dehydrated. Only kidding.
Now, on a more serious side....  How old is she? Is it possible that you are maybe giving her too much to drink throughout the day?  Just a thought.

I'm really beginning to worry about Hope...I haven't seen her around in weeks.  I hope she's ok.

[S.TTC#1]

Hey there- My DH is on funeral detail for 5 weeks.  So he travels around in that area attending any funerals (for veterans...folds the flag and passes it on to the next of kin).

We are in upstate NY- COLD....I'm only about 15 miles from the Canadian border.  But org. from Florida.  Been living here 14 months.  AND can't wait to return to sunny FL!

[Hannah's mommy]

hEY GIRL..i'm still around... my Dh had to fire his secretary and now I'm a working girl a few days a week and we found another house and so I'm geting mine ready to sell... i have been so busy. I'm still doing good though and it makes me feel good that you asked about me... I'm 23... almost 24 weeks now and I'm feeling fine. not problems at all... how are you doing??? how far along are you now =? let me know the details. Love hope

[S.TTC#1]

WOW, 24 weeks already! Time flies uh? Well maybe not for you. I'm glad you're doing well and enjoying every minute of pregnancy.  Did you already say what you are having?  Girl/Boy? Or keeping a secret? I think already posted on what you were having, just can't remember.  So many women and stats to keep up with. ;o)

Well take care.

[blondie72]

I am still here just not able to post as much from work.  I am doing well except for this pelvic pain.  It is right on the bone where the pubic area is.  Sometimes it hurts so bad to walk.  I hope that is not a bad sign of anything since I am only 17 weeks along.  Other than that I have been doing well.  It is so nice to hear that everyone is doing better as well.  I am so happy for Kassimom & Emma and you as well Michele.  I hope all goes well with the rest of your pregnancies.

Cheesetoo - My doctor never said anything about me keeping my feet up.  When I took the tissue into the appt I had she figured she left a peice but it had come out on its own.  I did not see her again until I woke up in a pool of blood in bed and had to call her and she said get to ER & she would be right there to do another D&C after they did an u/s and sure enough there was some left.  I wish you luck because I know how hard it is.  After the D&C I just wanted everything over and then to go on for another 2 weeks reminded of losing my baby even though I was not forgetting the pain made it all worse.  All that pain and NOTHING to show for it.  That was hard for me.  I will keep you in my prayers that all goes well for you.  I truly am sorry this is happening to you.  It does get a lot easier.  My due date was actually this past Saturday and I thought it would be a lot harder but I made it through with very little tears.   Take Care

[Hannah's mommy]

Hye yes... I'm havinga baby girl!! just what I prayed for... her name is Hannah Grace Cochran.... we will call her Hannah Grace. I like double names. Time is flying by and i jsut can't believe that in 17 weeks i will finally be metting this little miracle... i have waited so long for her...Hope

[S.TTC#1]

AWWWW, love that name.

That's right, now I remember you posting about having girl and naming her Hannah (duh, that's your login name).  See I'm so young, but my mind is aging fast!!! lol, anyways, I'm so happy for you.  You have to post some pics this summer w/ her.

[nanakay]

Hello everyone-

wow what a weekend.  I haven't been able to get on line all weekend. however i see some things haven't changed at all.

Yesterday my hubby and I went to the doc for an SA.  Guess what we may be that much closer to getting pg. Something being wrong with my dh was the farthest thing from my mind considering how easily we got pg with our son. But both docs said the same thing we must have hit the proverbial jackpot with our son.

So i just got done faxing the results to the specialist I'm seeing and hopefully next month we will get a BFP.

oh yah in case your wndering he had low concetration so the doc suggested IUI.  I don't know why but I just think this is gonna work and that we just took a huge step forward.

I hope everyone elses weekend was great.  just thought i would up date ya'll.

thanks for listening

Kassimom- Thanks for asking about me last week.  Everything is good just busy. It is probably slower this week because I bet so many are on Spring break with the kids, less time to log on.  I am not going to be working this week and time is so busy at home that I don't have time to log on as much. So happy to hear about your ultrasound and seeing the little heartbeat.  I don't get my u/s until 18-20 weeks. By the way saw your post last Friday (I think) about the pickle juice. That is so funny because I have the same thing with both pickle and olive juice.  Although I don't get sick after I drink it.  I try to avoid because it is so high in sodium and I am dying of thirst the rest of the day and into the night after I drink it but I have to really resist the urge.  The temptation is so great that I try not to even keep them in the house.  LOL. My DH thinks I am nuts.

Glad to hear everyone is doing well.  Seems like we had a better weekend than last weekend anyway not so much bad news.  

Shari-My preggo buddy, I did go to the doctor on 3/26 and was suprised that I could hear the heartbeat at only 10 weeks.  I posted to you shortly after because I thought you would be back but you must have still been out of town.

[nanakay]

i was just reading what went on yesterday and saw about your U/S

That is so exciting.  When we finnally get pg I think i want to fork out the $ for a 3-d U/S also.  I think it is soooo cool how excited your dh gets.  he must be a wonderful daddy.

congrats

~nanci

[silo]

Oh, I'm so glad you're doing well.  It's so nice to hear from you.  I am 14 weeks this week.  Baby's doing great.  We're not going to find out the sex.....drives everyone crazy.  I can't believe you're already 24 weeks!  I sure hope you get a chance to check in now and then...I know it's tough when you're working, but try not to be such a stranger.  We've all missed you.

[Missy04]

It is nice to hear from you! A lot of the ladies have been asking about you in posts from last week and also a post from this week.  Glad everything is going well for you and that little bundle of joy. I'm happy you decided to check back in with us. Stay healthy and take good care of yourself and that baby.

[metallic_angel]

hi, im still a little shy since i dont know you guys yet but it seems you are all wonderfully supportive.  Im still in the same situation ( neg ersults but no period and have preg symtoms) im about 2 or so weks late now.. im gonna do another hpt on fri and go to the walkin clinic on thurs. Ithink its so great that i may have you guys to rely on because my fiance is almost never home ( he works 10 hour days from 3-1) and it feels great to talk to you. Thanks for listening.

Anna

[nanakay]

make sure to let us know what happens.  

best of luck

[capermom]

Hello everyone, Hope, I was so worried about you. I really thought something was wrong, ! Don't you go away for that long anymore. Listen to your elders, lol, I'm almost 34.

Oh ya, I forgot, my birthday is next week, the 12th. Sucks, on a Monday, Easter Monday. Oh well, I'll have lots of treats to eat. Yummy, I love eggies you know, they are chocolate and candy coated. My favorite.

Cheesto, I'm here for you if you have any questions at all. I think about you every day and wonder how you are doing. Has the bleeding and cramping stopped? How do you feel emotionally? Are you finding each day a little bit easier?

Well, I'm praying tomorrow I will get my beta blood results. I am a wreck thinking about it. I just need to hear a big long number and I bet I can relax. I go tomorrow morning for another beta so we can compare and hope it's doubling. I am gittering thinking of it. I so wish I could get an u/s done now. I feel like going to the ER and telling them I have a big pain on one side and then they will do one, lol. I'm bad! Well, still no sickness, I feel fine. Better I guess because I quit smoking. I keep pressing on my bb's to see if they are getting sore but no luck. Barely tender I guess.

Well, hope you are all doing well. I'll be back after dinner!!

Hello Silo!!!

Chloe, are you around?? Hope everything is going well for you!

Hey Emma, wishing you tons of luck!

Hey Kassismom, how are you doing?

Everyone els have a great evening!

[metallic_angel]

Nanci,
Thanks so much. I will let you guys know as soon as i find out whats going on.  It's a releif to have someone to talk to because adam, my fiance, doesnt understand why im so anxious. lol He's just taking it day by day and i feel like im gonna die from waiting to know for sure =)

[Kassimom]

capermom-awwww, thank you for asking about me. I am doing okay. Yesterday for the first time I had a little energy and was able to do a load of laundry. Today-not so much.Still fighting nausea without the vomiting....don't know which is worse.

Metallic-this is the BEST message board! You will get lots of support here and lots of sympathy when you are facing that dreaded 2ww!!

Everyone-I just HAD to say how much I appreciate everyone on this site. I thought I would log onto a couple of other boards and just look around, but at every other board it seems to be inundated with very young women, (or just immature), one word responses, and no friendly atmosphere as in here. Most of the responses on so many boards are filled with a few words of response and then TONS of graphics so that you scroll through family pics, and silly cartoon people before you can get to the next post. and as capermom said before-you can't really post how you feel because on most youa re so sensored and if you are not "part of the group" you don't get responded to.  I decided ultimately not to sign up for any other board!

[metallic_angel]

i know what your talking about.. Lately I have found myself looking for someplace to go with my concerns and questions and most of the other message boards are about teen pregnancy and what they should do and i just think they should've used protection but maybe im too judgemental. Here is different though All the women here truly seem to support what your going through and help each other out.  Thank you for your concern,
  
Anna

[S.TTC#1]

What about me?!?......;o) Just kiding.  

Well, I'm doing good...thanks for asking!

lol- just messing around. ;o)

[PregnantAGAIN]

Steph, we should start talking in email, being military and needing support and all. Hope, I am so glad you finally posted! I was asking about you a week or so ago. Congrats in the baby girl. I am 19w6d today, I cant believe I am halfway there already!!! Oh yeah and its a boy. Camryn William

[capermom]

TTC, sorry girl. My mind is not with it at all. Do you forgive me? So how are you doing anyway? What's going on with you? We haven't chatted in awhile.

Well, it's getting close to getting my blood work back. It's all I can think about. I just went through the house and cleaned. I'm trying to keep busy so the time will pass.

[JustME9]

Oh i LOVE the name you picked! =) My baby (3 years) is Cameron Jakob! LOVE the name Cameron anyway you spell it! your spelling is VERY cool.  We were gonna name Kamrin if it was a girl! =) (no such luck for us though!) Anyhow! I just noticed the name of your baby boy and i got really excited! LOL~ Hugs!

[S.TTC#1]

That's alright, I was just messing around w/ you anyway.  I'm glad to hear you're keeping yourself occupied for the time being and I'm praying you'll get good results back, i'm sure you will. Keep us posted.  

Ever heard of Vitex (chaste tree)? That's my quesion of the day.  Thinking about getting it.  Its a supplement to help regulate hormones and aid in ovulation.  Anyways, that's newest w/ me.  Also taking a "TTC Break" until July.  Seems far away but only 2 1/2 months, it'll fly by.  When I come back from vaca, I'll start 'actively' trying again. Its been hard for me so I think I could really use the break.  In the meantime, I'll take Vitex in hopes that it'll help w/ my cycles and that come July, I'll be good to go!

PregnantAgain- I like that name too.  And about the post from 'grace', I agree w/ Kassimom- We need to just ignore posts like that.  Promised never complained or thought anyone was rude so grace's comments were uncalled for. Don't become a 'lurker' again. Forget what she said.  Notice she was the only one w/ a problem.....anyways, take care.  

[PregnantAGAIN]

LOL, silly! You know you could email me, hint hint LOL. This board isnt exactly easy to communicate through, when it comes to asking in depth detail on things aside from , ttc and pregnancy ETC.  I know that sounds wrong, but I cant think of how else to say, I am not in ANYWAY cutting down the forum, I do like it. I just mean to be more personal and one on one with people, I guess. ***@**** Hope you guys are all well, this is however probably going to me my last post until I feel it is once again safe to come out of lurkerdom! Jana

[PregnantAGAIN]

The last post was supposed to be my final one! I got done with it and you posted to me, you are grounded! LOL Isnt funeral detail just friggin dandy?  Whenever hubby had that he was here there and everywhere, so annoying! Well as I have said a million times, email me! LOL WOW do I sound desperate or what? I'm not deperate I swear!!..***@****.. Kassimom, how did you know I needed to get it? LMAO jk! Crazy day on the forums as usual. Oh well! Jana

[Kassimom]

Okay this is really sad....

I just did SOME laundry today for the first time in like....well we won't go into it. Anyway, here I am at 6w4d pg and I am already out of my 2/4 and into 7/8. I realized how long it had been when I pulled out a teeny t-shirt I thought ,"where did Kass get this?" then realized it was mine!!! LMAO!!!!! I wore it the weekend before found out I was pg!!

Maybe I am taking this "rest and stay off your feet" thing WAY to literally!

[Kristen26]

Hi Everyone! I also really appreciate this board as Kassimom was saying. Other sites are just not the same. The only board I have found that comes close to how awesome this one is, is:

www.silentgrief.com

It is for people who have suffered miscarriage and/or infant loss. If you have suffered from a m/c or infant loss, I recommend it. It is very supportive. Of course I love medhelp!!! But I just wanted to share this other one with you too.

[Kassimom]

Girl there are ways to take things into your own hands!!wink wink LOL I am SO just kidding!!

STOP IT!!! You ARE NOT going to stop posting because of one stupid idiot person who comes in to cause trouble! GET OVER IT AND THAT"S AN ORDER!! :) (sheepish grin)

We will not always agree in here and that's okay-but don't let one dumb person who never posts anything-then has the nerve to post nothing but negative drive you from our happy little forum! We are all positive people in here (damn we gotta be for the **** some of us have been through). Don't let that person's bad karma get you down.

Go listen to some..I don't know...Sonny and Cher and put on a happy face and see you tomorrow!! POSTING!!!

[Kassimom]

Sorry jsut read your post to Open Forum yesterday...

AAWWWWW..that's so cute that you could feel the baby at 11 wks!! I am fairly petite myself to begin with, but during this pg I have already gained 5 lbs!! :O  That's crazy! I can't even eat enough to be gaining weight! Although, I haven't been drinking much water either...I know..bad mommy bad!!

I agree with you, there is no way I could know the sex before everyone else. NO WAY! I do not have a poker face at all. I would totally make a scrunchy face if somebody bought the baby an outfit that it could not wear!

[PregnantAGAIN]

Girl there are ways to take things into your own hands!!wink wink LOL I am SO just kidding!!
Why kid?? I own gadgets LMAO!!!
