I am rubbish at this forum thing, I forgot to say thanks to Slowpoke for your information.

michelle- they may also put you on something to induce your period since you arent having one. the hsg dye test will tell if your tubes are blocked or not. it is a little painful so take some tylenol or soemthing before you do it. be sure that if they put you on clomid that they monitor you accurately. they will monitor you by vaginal ultrasound. clomid tends to thin out the uterine lining and can cause cysts on the ovaries so be sure that they are going to monitor you while you are on it. the ultrasound they can measure your uterine lining and they can check the ovaries for any cysts or anything that the clomid may cause. good luck to you. me and dh have been together for 10 years and been pregnant 1 time in aug and had to terminate because it was a tubal. we use a sperm donor since dh has sperm issues. all the testing with me has been normal so nothing wrong with me that they can find. right now i am on a break after 3 clomid cycles and 2 failed iui's. (interuterine inseminations). if you have any questins or need advice on anything just ask us. we have each done similar cycles and some have done other treatments, but we all have started off with similar treatments. good luck to you

Michelle welcome you have found the right place. As for wanting to know when we start a new thread one of us will usually type that its time to start one and we make it the same will make the next part 3 instead of part 2 so you wont miss us. Well girls no bleeding still I keep checking but things are looking good. I have to tell you all I am scared about my u/s again on thursday dont know why this one is scaring me. One of the girls on the 1st trimester thread just went in today for a normal consultation with a doctor and the baby stopped growing at 6 wks 3 days and had no heartbeat. She is completely devasted the last time she went to the doctor it had a heartbeat. I dont know why this is all of sudden bothering me. Maybe because all we have been going thru the past 2 weeks. Like I said I am going to continue to stay home as long as the doctor says i can. I enjoy really not doing much. But I have started helping again around the house Jason doesnt want me to but I feel guilty putting every responsibility on him. I am not even allowed to drive which is making me nuts cant even run to the store. Anyway Jason will be home with Anthony they went to the store to get stuff to make dinner I will be back.

WOW Already on to part 2? Okay well I wanted to pop in and say hello and do a quick fill you in, lol! Guess what dh decided to do while I was at my partents this weekend? Can you actually guess what he thought we needed? ----------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------
okay you ready -----------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------
a puppy! Can you believe it?! And it is a Lab mix no less. He was like it will help prepare me for a baby. I was like - have you gone mad! At least a baby gives ME 9 months notice and I am planning for it and you bring home a puppy. OMG I dunno what to do, seriously, I can't deal with any stress right now and potty training a puppy is not at all R&R. On top of the fact I am the one doing most of it which is complete and utter BS! Okay girls. I am sorry but I dunno if I can catch up tonight. I will try. I sure have a lot of c/p to do. okay luvyas/cyas/babydust!

Hi girls! Robyn, so glad to hear you're still not bleeding. Don't worry about your u/s. I'm sure everything will be just fine. I knoe hearing about someone's story about the baby not having a h/b can really freak you out. Try to stay positive and really take it easy. Leslie, I can't believe how much snow you're getting. It sounds like Joey is a healthy little guy. I wouldn't worry to much about the rash. Maybe you should call just to see if you should put anything on it. My ds had cradle cap for a long time. I'm just starting to have a noticable bump and have only just felt the baby a few times. Michelle, welcome to our family! You will find out so much info from all the ladies here. Cmel, how did things go with your dad? Tanya, how are you feeling girl? Katt, a new puppy!! Oh my. How many animals do you have now. Dh better start taking care of it! Hi Kathy, Jamie, Kelley, JD, Rhonda.

 

Katt - January 17

BROOKE_ I have 3 cats ages 4,3 & 1 - Sookey dog age 7 and then this new pup is about 3 months old - YIKES!

 

slowpoke01 - January 17

lol katt-so sorry that dh sprung that one on you..lol..i dont think that i would have the patience to potty train a puppy. if i ever get a house dog that part will be done before i get it..lol..maybe dh is starting to get some fraternal feelings..lol..tell him to take care of it since he thinks that it will help him prepare for a baby..lol..that is too funny. good luck. how are you feeling? ROBYN-i agree with brooke. dont start freaking out. the stress of it isnt good for you or the lo. just relax everything will be fine. take care

 

ROBYN - January 17

Hey girls KATT what a wonderful surprise LOL I guess he really missed you. We have 4 cats Vox 4, Wyatt and Doc 2 and Hemmy 5 months. Thats a handful I couldnt imagine adding a puppy when you have so many already. Well I am sure hes cute. You'll learn to love him LOL. Well I started cramping again and some blood spotting again. I new its too good to be true. Anyway wanted to do a quick catch up will be back.

 

bl - January 17

Robyn, I'm sure you know this, but you shouldn't change the cat litter. Just a perk of being prego! We have one cat that's 4. I figured out with dh, two ds's and a male cat, I'm waaay out numbered!

 

Katt - January 17

OKay girls here's the answers to all of your questions, hahahaha -- WELCOMES MICHELLE! You give good advice. Have you tried Metformin? Maybe this new doc will bring it up. Dh and I are 33 and ttc#1 going on 3 years. I have been charting about a year now and this is my 2nd cycle using clomid. I think I am 9dpo but I m not sure as I opted outof temping past O this month to keep my mind preoccupied. The new puppy addition helps, lol! TANYA_ Thank you for clearing up the string issue ;) Oh and I took clomid cd 3-7 and had to use 2 boxes of opk's plus one of the ones Brooke sent me to determine LH surge and occurance of O. I didn't O until cd15 or something! Hang in there! OMG I am so so sorry to hear about your dog (((((HUGS))))) Losing a loved one is so difficult and a pet is just that. Luvyas!

RHONDA_ I was getting ready to leave Ohio Monday and began sending heat your way as I was watching the weather. What a mess! Good to know no ice came your way!

KATHY_ New Richmond eh? Yeah I know it! I usedto drive around down there all the time for my other employer when I lived in Ohio - years ago. My parents are about 30 - 45 minutes away depending on traffic and route taken.

CARON_ Stands to reason the meds may have a little something to do with the polyps. So sorry to hear about your Dad. What is his prognosis?

BROOKE_ OMG ITS A BOY! YaY! How awesome is that! what great swimmers your dh has! I like the name Hudson. It seems like a good strong name. LOL I just read your post about your dh's swimmers, haha funny I said the same thing ;)

ROBYN_ I absolutely love the names you have chosen. That's great that you haven't had any bleeding - YaY! And a DbLYaY for your last injection! Iwatched 24 with the parents Sunday. It was good. Didn't finish up last night due to puppy terrors, lol. BTW, Listen to your hubby and keep resting! Take fukll advantage of him, lol!

JAMIE_ Good for you to start temping. Once you do it fir a couple months and get to know your cycle you will not have to worry about doing it every day, just those crucial 6 dyas before expected O, up to 4 days after and stop until maybe a day or two before AF. I get anal about it some months though and go crazy, lol! This month I haven't temped since last Thurs/Fri and I am not going to temp until Friday or so. Hell I don't even know what cd I am on, haha. I dunno as I have the patience for the potty training but I must learn it quite quickly. 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10- ? LOL

JEN_ Thanks for starting part 3! Interesting truth in your post ;) 3am? Looks like you'll be waking up with me everyday. Oh the joy! It sucks! I am telling you right now, it sucks!

SHAUNA_ I totally get the pg symptoms as I get em too! Must be that progesterone, haha! Anymore I figure its af since af always shows. Good luck!

LESLIE_ Joey is 1 and 1/2 months old, damn time flies! I am no mommy or no expert but isn't it normal for newborns to have skin erruptions; rashes, pimples, etc? I think some baby oil or olive oil should do the trick. Have you tried the Baby Oatmeal Lotion by J&J or Aveno? My best friend swears by it. That may help. I better go check in on the new pup as I keep hearing dh shouting "NO" LOL I am so loving this, haha! Goodnight!

 

ROBYN - January 17

BROOKE - i must confess I do change the cat litter. In regards to toxomplasmosis. My cats are indoors and are declawed and have all their shots. I was told that most of us who already have cats have already built up the immunity of toxoplasmosis. I also changed the cat litter when I was pregnant with Anthony. My parents always yell at me but honestly I am not worried. Thats the least of my issues. LOL. Anyway the spotting has stopped again I am just cramping. KATT - thanks for thumbs up on the names everyone is agreeing with you also. It sounded better than Makayla and Hunter. So I am pretty set on those names. Oh.. you so much need to watch the end of 24 i was in tears dont know if its hormones or the stress of that show period. Anyway gonna watch some tv with Jason.

 

1mom - January 17

Hi ladies. Wow i have missed so much. I hardley have time to check this anymore. I did see that Brooke is having a BOY! Congrats! How the heck could they tell that already. I thought you were a few weeks behind me and im almost 17weeks. I thought you had to be 18wks before you could tell. Maybe that's just the way my Dr. does it. So has anyone else had a BFP? or found out what they are having? I have another appointment on thur. but i'm not sure what all they are going to do. If it is the u/s then i'm just going to tell them that i don't want to know the sex. I really want to be suprised. Plus my Dh can't come to the appt with me because he stays at the academy so that wouldn't be right to find out without him. I just hope he will be there for the delivery. We are cutting it pretty close with his graduation day and my due date. I'm due 2 wks after he graduates. Ok well gotta go. i'm heading over to my sisters house for a girls night to watch movies. Hope everyone is doing good.

 

ROBYN - January 17

Good morning everyone - Well I got really upset at Anthony this morning and yelled and then started cramping and now I am bleeding again. It was all over the front and back of my pajamas. So now I am completely convinced that I am not better like I thought that no matter how big or little the situation I am not better. So I will be completely bed resting today and i will do nothing. I had to punish Anthony today and it really upset me. He has to take a pill every morning to concentrate in school He goes thru phases where he takes them in a second and then one day he wakes up and decides not too. Well today was one of those days. So we spoke the entire ride to school on the phone and he gets home he goes straight up to his room does his homework and then he reads, comes down for dinner and back up stairs takes a shower and goes to bed. I told him people of good and bad choices to make everyday his choice is not good and I cannot let him fail in school so something needs to be done. He was upset but realizes he needs to take this medicine hopefully one night of doing nothing he will learn. Anyway I am going to try and go back to bed I went to bed at 2am and woke up 7 am my u/s is tomorrow I hope its still good. I will check in later.

 

mommy2josh - January 17

Morning ladies. Just a quick check. Robyn, I hate the fact that you upset yourself. Please try to take it easy today. Also there is no need to worry about the baby. There is nothing we do can to change what happens. Please try not to worry. Thursday will be here before you know it. I'll be back a little later. Hello to all :)

 

mommy2josh - January 17

Oh, I forgot to say that I had my u/s this morning and progest. blood work done. I am now waiting for the RN to call me back with the results. They told me it might be in the second half of the day, as they have a packed day with hardly a minute between the patients. I was there at 7:30 and the waiting room was full.
