Hey Ladies - well My poor cyst behind my ear is killing me today, its leaking puss (gross i know!) Also i threw up last night b/c i had an allergic reaction to the percocet - so basically have to take tylenol now - ugh! I'm going to try and bd a lot this cycle since i'm on the bcps so there is no stress - you never know i could still get pregnant on the pill and plus i'm on antibiotics too so that sometimes messes up the effectiveness of them. WEll Star hope your ear gets better too! Slow any news yet??

hey girls how is everyone. sorry that i havent been around much lately just wanted to let you all know that a/f showed friday. so dh and i sat down and talked and we think that it will be best if we wait until april or may to try again. i think that the reason that i have gotten so sick is because i am so run down and stressed out. i have been stresseing lately how i am going to pay bills and pay for ttc too so dh said that his log truck will be paid in 3 months and that will be 800.00 a month that we can use towards ttc. also i am going to pay up some other bills and i am going to start putting 100-200 a week in a separate checking account that i opened strictly for ttc. this way we can start saving money the whole time and that way it will be there when we need it. then i wont be so stressed when we go back to ttc because the bills will be paid and we will have money just for ttc so that will take alot of stress off me. also i am going to start exercising again and getting some of this weight off that clomid has so graciously given me..lol..i think that if i feel better about me then it will help me when we start trying again. i may not be on as much but you all email me and keep me updated on each of you. take care and good luck now i am going to try and read all the posts.

Star = i'm on antibiotics for 10 days - he took the drain out today and stiched it up, he does think the pressure from the accupuncturist irratated it and caused it to swell, anyways if it swells again i will have to have surgery to remove - hope i dont have to go that route though! Slow so sorry AFshowed - we all understand and are here for you babe! i think it will be good to take a break and relax for a little bit! Heck you could even get pregnant on an off cycle which would be great!! Well hope you still check in!! Thinking of you!!

Hi ladies. Just thought I'd check in since I finally got my computer back from the repair shop and now that my flu is gone. Slowpoke, sorry to hear about AF, but it sounds like the plan to save while taking a break could be a really good thing all the way around! Please don't lose touch with us, and check in when you can. Star and Melissa, how odd that you'd both have issues with your ear going on at the same time, huh? I hope you both heal up soon so you don't have to deal with that craziness anymore. Not much to report here. Things are still going well and I will have my first doc appt to make sure that the pregnancy is a good and healthy one on Monday. Can't wait! Hi to everyone else I left out. Hope all is well!!

hey ladies. just updating. not much new here, we're still batting around names. we thought we were settled on noah.. but i got kind of burnt out on it. so we're still looking at name books and such. anyways.. im very slowly getting bigger. ill be 6 months [24 weeks] on sunday.. and im actually pretty huge haha. he kicks a ton, and seems to LOVE when i run the shower on my belly =].. i have a doctor appointment tomorrow.. nothing serious, just the usual check up. i hope they move me up to once every 2 or 3 weeks.. because i havent actually had an appointment since 16 weeks. i had my ultrasound at 20 weeks.. but it wasnt a check up. it makes me nervous to go 8 weeks without a check up, just because i've had two miscarriages.. but i think i've been handling it pretty well. its strange, most of the time i dont even feel pregnant at all.. its so surreal. other than the huge belly and kicks, i dont really have any symptoms. i keep expecting to go in and have them tell me "haha you arent really pregnant, silly." or something.. but everytime i go in, they say he's doing wonderfully. so.. im starting to really get excited. i just want may 6th to come! haha.. dh and i have been looking at apartments.. and tomorrow we're going to view one thats really promising! right now we live about a 35-40 minute drive away from his work, and we're spending money out the butt on gas! but the place we're going to look at is a 7 minute drive from his work, and since im not working.. thats pretty much the only consideration we have to make. also its about 30 minutes closer to the hospital ill be delivering at from where we live now.. and its not a bad rent. the only problem is its not as big as we'd like.. but we can work with that. i just hope they have availability between now and when the baby is born. we really want to move by march.. but we can wait if its worth it. since he works a lot, i'd like to be closer to his work around the time of delivery.. just so i feel safer. i was looking at my baby registries online today, and items have been bought! that makes it seem so real! its crazy! i got all excited haha. anyways.. ill update you guys after my doctor appointment tomorrow. step.. im praying for you and that baby. slow, so sorry about af.. but at least you can move forward now. waiting is a good thing, my grandma always said "the watcher's pot never boils" meaning, if you're waiting and watching and really caught up in it.. it might not happen. so.. just when you least expect it, it could happen! mel and star, i hope your ears get better! hey to anyone else i didnt mention!

hi girls....just thought I would give you and update.....I am 29 weeks today!! yeah, can you believe it? only 11 more weeks to go!! I have an appt. next wed. and then my appts. are every 2 weeks instead of every 4 weeks. Time has been flying by so fast!! She moves around so much and I am so uncomfortable already...I feel sorry for DH, he hasn't gotten much luvin from me......last night was only the second time since we conceived..I can't help it! I"m so tired all the time!! I started working on the nursery, we are doing the care bears theme, so I drew some carebears on the walls and am starting to paint them now. so far, it looks pretty good, but i still have a lot to do! slow - sorry to hear that AF showed for you... Sometimes it is best to take a break for a while...stress can play a big part in ttc....Whats up with all the ear problems??? I hope you guys get better!!!! The only thing wrong w/ my ear is I burnt it w/ the curling iron the other day.....and its almost like I knew it was going to happen before it touched, I just had a delayed reaction to move it away......NO FUN!! It hurt like a mother! Well, not much is new otherwise. I'm still working, but am thinking I will be done by 36 weeks....I can't be on my feet all the time anymore, and I am no longer helping with luggage, so I am pretty much useless by the time I get to work. I mean I can help out with check ins but by the time I get to work most of them are there already, so I just help with the food set up and keeping everything stocked and clearing tables....It sucks, but its a job for now! A girl I work with is preggo to and she went into pre-term labor at 34 weeks, so she is on complete bedrest right now. I feel so sorry for her because she was so freaked about going into labor the way it was and then for this to happen to her...But so far, they were able to stop the contractions, so that is good. Well, it is 1 am and I should get my behind to bed...Hope everyone is doing good...hope to see some more BFP soon!!

Hi there ladies. Slowpoke, I'm so happy to hear that everything worked out as well as it did with being able to pay off some stuff. What wonderful timing for that to come through! I hope that helps to releive some of the financial burden TTC can put on you! Tammy, I'm so in shock that you're so close to delivering! It seems like just a month or so ago when you announced that you were pg! WOW how time flies (when its not you anyway!) As for me, this first trimester is toture, not knowing for sure yet that all is going well, and not being able to see or feel anything, and then reading up on how tiny the baby still is, it's somewhat discouraging. But I guess part of the blessing of TTC for so long is that you really learn what it truly means to be patient, huh? I know it'll all happen in due time, I just have to wait it out. Hi everyone else I didn't mention. I still think of each one of you daily and you're all still in my prayers, pregnant or not! Much love...

Hey Ladies - sorry i have been MIA - my sis and my 2 nephews are in town so you can imagine i have been busy!! Did i miss anything exciting?? Please fill me in really quick!!! Nothing new to report with me - still on the bcps. I go in thursday for baseline u/s before i start lupron and also to do that MRI to check my pituatary . Well got some bad news this past week my dad in fact does have lymphoma so he will begin treatments soon i imagine - thats all i need right now is the added stres - i just pray he will be okay. I also had done the sonohistogram this week ( it hurt more than i had remembered) - i had it done about 6 months ago too - anyways they found some super tiny polyps so i'm waiting to hear from my dr. on whether or not we are going to remove them and if they could be the reason my embies arent implanting. Do the meds cause polyps?? I just think its weird how i have little ones now after all these meds ive been taking!! My dh's surprise party went awesome - he had no clue and was so surprised it was so much fun!! I ended up getting sick last night b/c i drank too much - not fun at all!! Well i missed not checking in with you girls. She leaves on Thursday so i apologize if i dont check in as much this week! Tammy and Blair so good to hear from you ladies - sounds like you both are doing wonderful! Cant beleive how far along you guys are already -time does fly by!! Slow again so sorry about your MIL - it must be so hard!! Step how are you feeling??

hey girls. STEP- i am sure that everything is fine. my aunt always told me that patience was a virtue, but i think i had more patience back in the day when i was actually trying to prevent a pregnancy than i do these days when i am ttc..lol..i think that we all feel that way though. i know how hard it is to be patient, especially when you are a nervous wreck wondering what is going on in there..lol..relax and dont forget to breathe. we are here for you anytime you need to vent. MELISSA_i am so sorry about your dad. i know how hard this is on you. then on top of that the polyps. i wonder myself if the fertility drugs can hinder implantatin more than the docs let on sometimes. i guess they could cause polyps because clomid sure causes cysts. sometimes i wonder if i am doing myself more harm than good. you and your family are in my prayers and i hope that your dad responds well to treatments. just try to relax even though i know that is hard to do. spend as much time with your dad as you can. be sure to tell him everyday how much you love him. i pray that everything turns out good for him and for you. the polyps could very well be the reason that the embies arent implanting depending on where they are. good luck all and take care. here is a link where you all can see pics of me and my family. take out any dashes or underscores if they appear. http://slowpoke01.spaces.live.com/

Melissa, I'm SO sory about your Dad. Just what you ned to be worrying about right about now, huh? Please remember to take care of yourself while you're undoubtedly wanting to care for him too! Keep us posted and remember you're family is in my prayers. Slowpoke, thanks for sharing the photos. It's always fun to get to see who we've been talking too all this time, though I still remembered from once before when you shared one pic. Well, i leave for my 1st appt here in a few hours. I'm so excited! Cross your fingers and pray real hard that I'll only come home with good news!
