Hey girls. I vented a little on my thread with the dr question a bit ago. Having a bad day but i'm not going to double vent. I hope you are all doing well today & hopefully we'll see some BFPs popping up in the next few days. I don't think this is my month, as I said in the other post.

Bam-what did the dr say yesterday about your chlomid &/or switching to the other med?

Natalie-I swear by my OB. His name Is James Perry. He & his wife Nicole are in practice together. They have 4 kids & have had 3 MCs while TTC. He was AMAZING during both of my losses. He was just in Mooresville but has recently opened satelite offices in Plainfield & Indianapolis. (I know long haul for you, but he's worth it). He let me ask ALL the questions I wanted, & even let me call the office with questions. He's great!!!

[GMB08]

just checking in..hope all is well...bam..im sorry about your bfn..i know its so depressing...keep your head up......i know..easier said than done......but i have faith in you.....i know you have your little baby soon!

[bam1014]

Just wanted to say good morning ladies!

I won't be on MH too much any more during the day time.  It's just far TOO SLOW.  I don't know why it makes such a big differance between at work and at home.  But it took forever just for this to load so I can write a message.  Also, with my job in jeporady I better keep my nose to the grindstone :0

I'll catch up with y'all as soon as I get home!

[sakers1985]

Hey ladies-
  I dont know what much to say tonight ... its 12:39 am and I am not sleepy.. I dont know why I got up and cleaned the whole damn house and accomplished 5 loads of laundry, got dinner done and all is well. No signs of AF yet.. so still waiting... and still BDing. I wish the best for you all!!

[natalie910]

Ok I'm up late, can't sleep...
Bam- I don't think I have a problem conceiving so I don't think an RE will see me. I did look on a dr rating site and it really helped me narrow down the ob drs that were recommended to me. I live in Indiana but it is more like a suburb to Chicago, we're about 30 minutes away. There are a lot of great drs in Chicago but I would hate to drive up there if I had to be seen more than once a month, traffic is a nightmare. I would if it would mean better care though.

I don't know what a high risk ob/gyn is called, anyone know or should I just ask if the ob dr will see high risk patients?

[Cari227]

Hi everyone, I hope I don't sound too dumb but what is "Booty Camp"?

PS: I hope everyone is doing good and good luck to all!

[natalie910]

Lori-Your Dh sounds so cute, I love it when guys try to get involved, they're almost like little boys. I also had to fight with my 9 yo son & 8 yo daughter, he's a computer hog. My DH bought me a laptop once I found out I was pg so I didn't have to fight off our kids for computer time LOL

Mikaleen-I also love Gene Wilder to death, he is so awesome especially in charlie and the chocolate factory. If you haven't seen Rosemary's Baby, it's done really well, it's with Mia Farell. I didn't ever read the book, maybe I should.
My DH is a GM for AMC theatres so he's totally into movies. We actually met while we were both working at a movie theater and in college. He knows all the directors and stuff no one really cares about, great for movie trivia though. We watched Mirrors last nigh, it was scary but a little cheesy too.

[mikaleen]

Bam...She didn't come clean with me at first b/c she wanted a friendship, and she only told the women she "dated" I guess.  She didn't know how I'd react, and I don't think she ever planned on living as a woman again.  She finally told me because she wanted to keep the friendship.  She could have ignored me forever, she lives across the country.  She even told me she was surprised she ended up with a man because she was always more attracted to women and had planned to keep living as a guy.  It's weird, because I feel a sense of loss.  I keep picturing my friend the guy in labor.  My friend keeps saying says "well, she went into the men's room when we were at the bars, right?"

I forgot about Raising Arizona.  I have a crush on Nicolas Cage along with Gene Wilder.  I enjoyed reading Rosemary's Baby.

My PMS symptoma are starting...I figure AF isn't far behind.  Sore bb's and my face is breaking out now.  

[smr08]

Steph- Right back at ya!

Bridgette- I'll have to catch it.

My poor DH only gets to touch the computers when something is wrong with them.lol He loves to hear whats going on with all of us, he hears so much that he's starting to get to know everyones story. He asks if this one tested yet and who got a BFP, he's so cute! He is also very happy that I have all of you, he noticed a big change in me over the past few months, I tell him that it's all thanks to my girls!

[ArmyPrincess819]

Ladies I just got in I'm wiped I will answer you tomorrow and thank you all for your sweet words.........

Hugs,
AP

[bam1014]

Lori - you HAVE to watch it, it's a classic!  I just searched my DVR and it's playing on Encore on Friday.  User Fee and MH computer - LOL

I'm fortunate that DH isn't really into the computer.  But I know that he is happy I have you guys to chat with.  Every once in a while I'll update him on what's going on, or he'll peek over my shoulder.  It was hilarious getting him all caught up with the acronyms.  Now he uses POAS like he's a natural.   A long time ago I commented on how funny it would be if all our DH's got together and chatted like we do.  They could compare our O times and what crazy things we were making them do this cycle - LOL

Goodnight Ladies, DH is looking for some affection before he finishes up with dinner ;)

[natalie910]

Lori-My DH is so jealous of medhelp lol. He's always trying to ask what we've been talking about, I'm just like, you don't want to know LOL. He's grateful that I've found a place to vent and ask questions. Like many of you, I don't have a lot of close friends-they're all back in AZ. so it is so nice that I've found some gals going through similar problems.
Bridgette- Shawshank was a great movie.

One of my favorites is Rosemary's Baby, it's such a weird movie but I like it for some odd reason. I love older suspense/horror films like that. Raising Arizona is another one of my favorites, a dark comedy but good.

[steph9803]

I only have a minute..but I wanted to drop by and send some baby dust all around.


Your BFP Cheerleader,
Stephanie

[smr08]

Bridgette- I love it and it's "MINE" LOL. We have 3 computers in our house and I had to use DD's when she wasn't around, she said that she was gonna start charging me a user fee. It's funny because I hardly ever used the computer until I met all of you, so now DH calls it my MedHelp computer! I got my mouse today thank god!

[smr08]

Natalie- I know what you mean, my Dr. gave me no reason either, just sometimes these things happen. He said that there is no reason why we can't try again. I try to hold on to that everytime I think about getting pg again. I try not to let fear get a hold of me, don't get me wrong "WHEN" I get pg again i'll probably be a basket case(LOL). I want to believe in my heart that everything will be fine. "WHEN" I get pg again soon, I will be on top of things, and if I want my Dr. to check things out he's going to!

Bridgette- Never saw that movie, but I like the quote.

[bam1014]

Lori - how is that new laptop treating you?  Did you get your mouse yet?  I just LOVE my new computer.  My old one was over 7 years and SO SLOW.  This one is speedy quick and has all sorts of new shiney bells and whistles that I don't even get at work.  Now instead of waiting to get to work to use the internet, I can't wait till I get home to use the internet :)

[bam1014]

Natalie - it's all about what you are trying to accomplish.  If you have no problems getting pg, then there really is no need to see an RE (who is a fertility specialist).  My RE (whom I'm not really seeing right now, because I CAN'T stand her) said as soon as I got pg she would hand me right back over to my OB/GYN.  If it's the m/c end that you are worried about then I would think a regular OB/GYN would be fine. I think you just need to find one more comppasionate.  I know there are dr's that specialize in high risk pg's, especially depending on your age, but I don't know anything more then that, or if they have a different "title".

I just can't say enough good things about my OB/GYN clinic.  After my m/c, the dr assured me I would only have to have 1 more (God forbid) before they would start testing.  Almost all dr's make you wait until after the 3rd.  Even though I have to rotate between 3 dr's and a nurse practioner, every single one of them have been nothing but fantastic.  That's the main reason I simply dread going back to the RE.  But if nothing happens in the next 3 months then it's very likely we'll move on to IUI and I'll have no choice to go back to her.

Lori - I can't believe that I completely forgot that one of my favorite movies of all time is The Shawshank Redemtion (I've seen it no less then 100 times)!  Direct quote from the movie:

Andy Dufrane says to Red:  "Remember Red, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies."

[natalie910]

Lori-Thanks, this dr. delivered our 9 year old but she stopped seeing ob patients for a while but went back to it so I went back to her. I thought she was a good dr and maybe she is. Maybe she's only good when it comes to an uncomplicated pg. I just wish she would have done some testing to make sure there was nothing wrong with me ya know. I don't want to go into another pg if there's a problem with me. I've heard of too many women that have had a 2nd m/c because of an unresolved issue that could have been fixed. I just can't stand the thought of another m/c. It scares me to death.

[natalie910]

bam-I'm not seeing an re but maybe I should. My dr is just like oh well these things happen but at 16w it's pretty uncommon especially since we had 3 u/s and saw the heartbeat. That's why I have to switch doctors, I just don't trust her anymore.
What is a specialist ob/gyn caleed? Is it an RE?

[smr08]

Natalie- good luck, sometimes it's so hard to find a good Dr. I loved my Dr. I had him since I was 19 and then he stopped doing OB a few years ago so I had to pick another one, I stayed within the same practice and took the on call Dr. that delivered my 11 yr old when I got pg with Salvatore.

Jenn- I'm right there with you! Hope we get it right this month :)

Niclole- Good luck tomorrow! We are in the need of more BFP's :)

Bridgette- Glad to see your staying positive!

[bam1014]

natalie - are you looking for just a regular OB/GYN or a Reproductive Endocronologist (RE)?  I think it's rediculous (sp?) that dr's won't even do the simplest of blood tests!

Jenn - I KNOW YOU CAN too.  Choo Choo :)

Nicole - I would be a hypocrite if I didn't think it wasn't over till AF sang.  Maybe I just have a late implanter?

Aileen - Was it because of the baby that she finally had to come clean with you?  Or were there other reasons?
