How is everyone doing today? I am just stopping by to say hello. I can't believe that some of the first girls on this thread are in thier third trimesters. I am so happy for them but it reminds me that I would have been in my second trimester last Saturday. And then I can't help but think about how we can't even start trying again until I would have been half way through the pregnancy. Oh well! All you can do is keep on trying:) Not trying to be a bummer girls, I am sorry.

Good morning Ladies! I'm officially on my second trimester today. Otilia, don't worry, soon you'll be able to get pregnant again and have another baby. At 33 yrs. old, this will be my first one so I'm really excited and sometimes I wish it's already March (my due date is 3/20/07) so I'll be able to hold my baby. I'll find out next month if we'll be having a boy or a girl. Stepmommel. the weather today here in San Diego is superb, blue skies and temperature perhaps in the 70's here in the South Bay. If I remember right, you've mentioned that you lived in La Mesa or somewhere in the North County? Slowpoke, how are you feeling? Has the bleeding stopped? Cmelissa, I'm wishing goodluck and lots of baby dust on your road to IVF! Blairmama, did you do a hpt yet? What are you taking for your anemia? Take prenatal vitamins. I've been taking them since last year. Now, I'm taking Ferrous Sulfate too because this pregnancy is making me anemic.

Well ladies, not sure what FF was thinking, but I didn't O. Good news is that AF showed up today too. So, I'm now on CD1 and I'll be on my increased dosage of Clomid in a couple of days. I'm really frustrated with FF, but hopeful for this month anyway. I thought for sure Sept would've been my month, but apparently not. Sounds like you and i are almost back on the same cycle Melissa! How'd that happen?

hey girls just checking in with you all. i am still bleeding which is really frustrating because some days like todya i spot and some days like yesterday i stand up and blood just comes gushing out sorry TMI. i just wish that it would stop. yesterday i bled so much that i kept getting dizzy when i would stand up and i was so tired i think with all this blood that i am losing that my iron may be low. so i will be glad when the bleeding stops so that i can start taking my prenatal vitamins again. i cant take them until i know for sure that my hcg levels are back to 0. i havent heard back from the doc about the bloodwork that i had thursday.

slow.. i totally know what you mean. that is me in a nutshell. i've been irregular since i started in the 7th grade. ill go months with nothing.. and then get hit with a huge one. i hated it when i was in school.. i cried everytime. it gave me panic attacks. plus i grew up without a mom.. so it was hard enough as it was. i've never had a regular monthly visit from a/f .. and last year i started getting them for longer periods of time. last summer i had one for 12 weeks. my doctors were trying everything they could think of to make me stop. after it did.. everytime i've gotten one its only been for 7 days.. and its still heavy, but not too heavy. but they still come every 3 or so months. sometimes i think im blessed to have so few of them.. but then i also wish i could be regular so i could have a better chance at concieving. btw.. i live in san diego too. born and raised =] north county.. encinitas. i love it here. we tried living in upstate new york near my sister last spring.. but we came running home. haha. melissa.. good luck with IVF! im going to take my hpt here in an hour or so. my husband chris has been out of town for a week.. and i miss him SO much! he'll be home any minute now. we're gonna go take a test! pray for me! baby dust to all of you..

Hey Ladies - Otilia i know it must be really hard. Like my sister is pregnant with #2 and its just hard talking to her b/c she doesnt understand what im going through - unless you have problems ttc people have no idea how emotional and depressing it can be at times - she gets pregnant so easily - so not fair! Manyika congrats on your 2nd trimester coming up!! What do you think you are having?? So march is the due date how exciting - it will be here before you know it!! Were you on meds when you got pregnant i cant remember? hey Step sorry you didnt O this month but the good thing is you got AF and you can start a higher dosage of clomid and get a bfp this month!! Yeah i should be getting AF sometime this week too so we will be close this cycle! Hey Slow gosh i really hope your bleeding stops that must be so annoying - it cant be good losing all that blood - have you talked to your doc to make sure its normal, etc.. Blairmama - gl on the hpt - wishing you a BFP! Let us know how it goes once you test!! Well gotta go! You all have a great night!

 

blairmama - September 20

well.. i didnt get a bfn. or a bfp. i didnt take one. uhg. my husband's car broke down.. and its the only car we have right now and.. its the second car to break down on us in 2 weeks. he's been really upset about it.. and i dont know what to do or say to comfort him. we cant afford a new car right now.. so we're going to go look at some new-ish cars tomorrow. i just feel so bad.. i dont know what to do. and i didnt want to be selfish and press on about the hpt. ill just take it when things are better i guess. im just so let down right now. i dont mean to bum you guys out.. but uhg! what a rough day. and to top it off.. i stopped getting sick.. and the spotting stopped.. and i dont know what to think now. i cant help but think im not pregnant. uhg. UHG!

 

stepmommel - September 20

Hi there ladies! Slowpoke, I think you should talk to your doctor about your spotting, but I'd also call them and ask for your lab results... don't they usually get them within a day or two? No need for you to be waiting unnecessarily like that. Let us know what they say. Blairmama, I grew up in Rancho Bernardo and actually have a life long friend that lives in Encinitas! What a small world. I bet NY must've been quite an adjustment! Bakersfield is bad enough! I miss home. Anyway... I don't recall if you said, are you trying for your first or do you have a child already? I say take your test despite what's going on with the car... it might be just the news you need to cheer you guys up. Well, let us know when you test. Manyika, do you want a boy or girl (and no fair saying "as long is it's healthy... yadda yadda yadda, either!) Hello to everyone else, and I wish you all a fabulous Wednesday! talk to you soon.....

 

lalilove - September 21

Hello ladies...
Manika...hope youre feeling well and the baby is doing well. thought of any names yet?
Step...that is good that you would consider adopting. I adopted two little girls about 3-4 yrs ago and I would do it again! I guess that's the only good thing my first husband left me with. They are my pride and joy! I love them!
melissa...don't worry about feeling like that ...we are here for you and totally understand the way you feel. Don't loose hope. Our month will be coming soon just wait and see.
slow...consider talking to your DR about your bleeding, I don't think that's right.
Well as for me Im loosing hope now. My temps are decreasing so Im pretty sure AF is on her way maybe tomorrow or Friday. I was really hoping this month would be my month since trying with clomid. Please continue our prayer circle...Im sure we would all appreciate it. Take care and good night.
luv luv

hey girls how are you all doing. well today i havent been bleeding, just spotting a little bit. they called and i want home and they said the beta was 107 something, so i have to go tomorrow to have another beta and hopefully it will go back down to 0. i dont know how much more of this i can stand. not knowing from one day to the next whether i will be bleeding or not. i have been really busy today so i havent had a chance to post on here. my FIL told me that he wants me to take over overssing his rent house, so i wrote up a rental agreement for it and there is a girl that called me today wanting to rent it. so if she agrees to it then i guess that will be a little extra money a month. i dont know how much he is going to pay me to collect rent, electric, and water but i know he will give me money whenever i need it and it will take some strain off of him with me overseeing it. i traded him 2 of my horses for 1 of his horses and he told me that whatever money i needed to take it out of his savings..lol..i am trying to get all these dr bills paid up again. dh's truck was broke down yesterday so he didnt work and it cost us about 500.00 so my FIL is good about helping us when we need it. he appologized for some remarks that he has made to me in the past..like saying that i am fat and i need to walk..he said he was just joking. well take care all. i am tired i helped FIL work on his truck today so that dh wouldnt have to when he got home. i have just been trying to keep myself busy. i helped him move some of his horses too..lol..it is neverending around here. well take care and good luck all.
