Hey everyone- Well here I am. I actually went into labor on my own on February 21st. I was at work and started having contractions, so my friend Tammi (who I work with and who was going to be with me & my hubby during delivery) took me to the hospital cause my husband was in a dead spot at work. Anyway, we got there and my doctor happened to be on call so he came into triage to check me and said I hadn't changed (much to my disappointment) but I could get up and walk for an hour and see what happened, so Tammi and I practically ran the hallways, cause I was convinced that I was having the baby that day, and my doctor checked me again and I was 4 cm. so he admitted me. My husband had gotten there in the meantime and they got me to a room and told me they were going to break my water, to which I said "can I have the epidural first?" :) They gave me the epidural, broke my water and it took FOREVER to go from 4 to 6 cm. They broke my water around 6 or so and I finally delivered at 2 a.m. on the dot. I went from 6 to 10 in about 45 minutes and pushed 3 times and he was out. It was easy dare I say! :) No pain involved at all. He weighed 7 lb. 14 oz. and was 20.5 inches long. He is perfect. I did end up in the ER on Wed. morning with what they think was a "rebound headache" from all of the pain medication they were giving me at the hospital. I had to have a CAT scan done, 3 shots of morphine, and prescriptions for valium and codeine, but I am finally feeling better. I thank God for my husband, parents and sister cause they literally took over cause I just couldn't do anything. Jaxon sleeps about 3.5 to 4 hours at night so that is not bad. I get very anxious when night time comes, but I'm sure that is just my hormones - I am hoping to avoid medication this time around. I had to take it when I had Raegan cause I just couldn't shake the "baby blues". Anyway, we are all home trying to adjust. This weekend we have all been home, (me, Bill, Tyler, Raegan & Jaxon) and it has been a bit stressful, but we are doing okay. There are times I retreat to my bedroom with the baby. I am also trying to figure out how I can work at home instead of going back to work. It would mean quitting my job, but I am going to really look for something while I am off. I hope you are all doing well. I will be back on soon, but lately the days are just flying while I am trying to get used to all of this. Have a great week girls.

JSmith: Congrats!!!! That is awesome that you had Jaxon without the need to be induced! Glad everything was pain free and that you all are doing well. In time you will adjust. Going from 1 to 2 is hard, so I hear anyway:0) Hang in there things will start to iron themselves out in time and as you all get adjusted to a new little one in the house! Take all the help you can get! Congrats again xoxo Ericka

CONGRATS jsmith! Glad to hear you didn't have to be induced and that the labor was "easy." I'm sure it is a bog adjustment, but I'm sure you will make it! Congrats again.

CONGRATS!!! I'm so happy for you. We've come a long way from the endo/lupron board.....but it was so worth it wasn't it!? Glad to hear everything went so well. Take care and keep us posted on how you and Jaxon are doing. XOXO.

Wow, JSmith, what a great story!!! I would love to go into labor on my own with out induction, but with this guy coming at 37 weeks those chances are slim. I'm so glad that you were pain free for the most part and that you finally got your little one. Sorry about the headache tho, those do suck. It's nice to have all that family around to help with things. Good for you and I hope that everyone is doing well this last week too. Baby, Nikki, & even Mega, I hope those little ones are doing well up in the weather I've been hearing about in OH....it's been very stormy here but without the snow. OH yes, I have 3 kids already Nikki, and they can't wait to meet their brother, whom we've named BTW, Bodie Maddox will be his name. Suits him already if you ask me. He's a very active little guy at 20 weeks. I still seem semi small in comparison to other pregnancies, but he's measuring right on. It was funny, they asked how I knew EXACTLY how far along I was, and I said clomid for a year helps you pin point everything LOL. Erin, thinkin about you girl friend! Oh, we have some very good friends in Columbus that are about to have a little one too, we can't wait, it'll be their first. YAY! after going thru some IF and clomid themselves. It's always nice to see a fellow survivor finally get pregnant. YKWIM? TTYL !!!

Hey girls! How is everyone? Erin - I saw you got a prediction from cheri22 - this next month, right? I got one too...for fun mostly...but it said June, Boy. We'll see. Nothing is going on with me. I took last cycle off. I'm now trying just clomid again...

Hello girls, long time no talk. How is everyone. I am good. Been extremely busy with work but I'm doing really good. Nothing new with me on TTC. Still trying but nothing happening. Went to RE not to long ago and he's got me on Prometrium to regulate my cycles. So hopefully that works wonders and I can concentrate more on the TTC part and not have to worry about the AF part. LOL!! Hope all is well with everyone. I'll post more tonight.

Hey girls. Erin - good luck with the prometrium! I hate taking prometrium...the s/e mess with me...but it does make me have af. And, April, huh? That's soon! I'm on cd 14 today...going for an u/s tomorrow morning to see if my one follicle seen on cd 12 (at 10mms) has grown at all. I'm hoping I"m ready to trigger tomorrow - please, please, please. Hope everyone else is well!

Hello all it's CD2 for me. Once I started my last cycle I was off progesterone for 15 days and then started taking it for 13 days and I got my period after a 31 day cycle. YEAH!! Now that we are getting myself regulated...can we get a BFP???? :P I sure hope once I get myself straight we can work on getting the boys to my egg. LOL!! I am taking a daily multi vitamin and so is DH. We are eating healther foods and I started a little workout so hopefully we can do this without assistance such as IVF. Not that it's a bad thing but I don't have that kind of money. How is everyone. I miss you all. I sure hope this thread livens up a bit. Keep me updated.
