well ladies I had my first nausea last night, for 2 hours, but was unable to throw up...lol...the whole time I kept thanking how thankful I was to be sick on mothers day. I say a prayer for you guys to experience this soon! Let me know how things are going.

Hi Liz, not much happening for me at the moment. I started the b/c pills and will get my af in just under 3 wks God willing. My parents came to visit for Mother's Day and we wnet out for a meal. They live about 1 1/2hrs away. Well sorry for the symptoms you're feeling but I'm sure you are very happy to be feeling them now. Glad to hear you are doing well. Hey Kitten, how are you doing? Let us know. Are you both in the US? I live in Canada just outside of Montreal. Thw weather is gorgeous today...bye for now...Sam

Hey Sam, Im in Texas, and the weather is HOT!! It just started to feel like summer today, very humid and about 90, anyway, where is kitten, whats going on with her??

Hello girls, I’m in CA, it’s still kind of cold here. (Dh just turned on the heater.) Unfortunately, I started my af last Sunday. No baby for me this month. Well, saw my ob today and going to take clomid 100mg tonight. I’m thinking to change my ob, she is not very helpful or care about me. You know what? She was more interested about my dh’s job than talked with us about what should we do on this cycle. She kept talking about out of topic stuffs until I reminded her that I should take higher dose of clomid. I was so angry after the appointment. Dealing with infertility is hard enough, I really want to find an understanding ob. Do you guys have good ob? Liz, sorry for the symptoms, but I heard that symptoms are one of the ways to know that your baby is growing. How about you, Sam? Still waiting for the af? Hope we can start clomid together.

hey Kitten
I have never liked a femaly ob, I don't know why, but it just seems like a man is more sensative to listening, and giving you sometimes what you think you need.I had a litle nausea yesterday, but nothing so far today, just lots of trips to the bathroom. Let me tell you, I had no idea how many times I could pee, in a day, I heard people talk about it, but I had no idea it would be like this, Im always in the bathroom always, but like I said I welcome the signs....luck to you ....find someone new that you feel comfortable with. I went to my ob for the first time, and he gave me clomid, and talked to me about everything for about 45 min ( which is a long time) I came away feeling like he was on my side, and any time I have had a question he was johnny on the spot returning calls...its worth it to look around.

Hi Ladies, nothong happening with me yet. Just thought I would check in and see how we are all doing. How are the symptoms Liz. Hey Kitten, I won't be starting the clomid until around 04-05June, that's if I finally get my af of course. The last time I had an af was back on 23Feb07 but I am trying to remain hopeful and see what happens. Anyway have a great weekend if I don't speak to you. In Canada we have a long weekend on Monday, except for me because I work from home for an emergency travel service and we work after hours when everyone else is off, long weekend, what are those? LOL.
Sam...lots of sticky baby dust coming your way, don't duck Kitten in case I miss...lol.

Hey Girls!
Well my ultra sound is on Tuesday at 3:30, and I cannot wait, to see how many are in there, and hear the heartbeat. Theres a possibility that we may have to wait a little longer to hear that, but Im hoping on Tuesaday. No big symptoms. Just that I do not like coffee anymore, and still get sleepy, but not as sleepy as last week, and my trips to the potty are many!!! Anyway, I am a little nervouse about not having as many symptoms as other moms, but people say that everyone is defferent so thats what Im going to believe. Write more later.

Hi Liz, I can't wait to hear about your u/s also, do you have multiples in your family or are you thinking there is a poss of more than 1 because of clomid? Ooh, it's exciting. Hopefully I will get my af as soon as I finish the birth control pill so I can track my temps and start clomid. I guess the chances are not good that it will happen this month though since I am on the pill at the moment but we shall see. Just found out my god-daughter's 17 yr old friend is pg, it makes me mad...here we are all trying to get pg and someone who is not trying and does not want to get pg does get bfp. Anyway, talk to y'all soon...Sam

Hi Liz, ultrasound tomorrow? So excited for you. Please tell us all about it. I finished the clomid last week and waiting for the egg to come. I just hate to wait….wait for the af, wait for the egg…wait for the positive pregnancy test! My patient is almost gone! Yes Sam…the same situation happened to me over and over…friends who don’t want babies have babies…I have a friend who had 3 babies accidentally within 4-5 years…sometimes, it is so unfair.

hey girls I know what you mean about feeling like everyone gets pregnant. My neice (21) got pregnant last yr, and was not at all prepaired or trying, it was a shock to the family, and as much as I wanted to jump on board the baby train I remember thinking how is this fair? She lost the baby at 6 wks, and I felt really bad about my feelings. She is very exited about the baby with me, Im appreciative of that. Yes ultra sound tomrrow, and I can't wait. There is a three generational gap in twins, but there are 5 sets on my dads side, so with the clomid, the metformon, my age, and family history, Im jsut wondering...??? I don't care if it's one or four, I just want to hear it's growing normally. My blood sugar has been a little higher than normal, Doc said it might do that. It has been very hard not to give into some of the sweet cravings and temptaions, I messed up this past week a little, so Im trying to gain back the control over the sugar. I was walking about a mile a day before pregnancy, but I kind of feel like Ive just beem laying around these past weeks, Ive been sooo tired. Went walking today though, and going to try it everyday from now on. It was so freakin hard compared to what I had buit up to...lol...like dragging myself up hill the whole way. I feel like I have a little water ballon inside me, and Im firming up just a timy bit around my naval. I can't wait for you ladies to get your good news. I just know it's going to happen, I really believe in all the c,omid research that it works!! Baby Dust!!

Hi Girls, no news here yet. Liz did you have your u/s? How did it go? Hi Kitten, your playing the waiting game too huh? I am still on the pill for another week, then will wait for af and you know the rest of the story! lol...Hope you hear from you both soon...Sam

Hello Sam, I will have a u/s to see my eggs tomorrow. I'm getting scare and excited at the same time. I hope my eggs grow faster this cycle because I'm already taking 100mg clomid. I also changed my ob and I will see her next month. Hopefully, she is better than the one I used to have. You guys have any plan for the long weekend? Liz, how was the u/s?

Hey kitten, how long after your af and clomid did you o? I still have a week left of the pill and then hopefully i will get my af and start clomid on day 3. I am very frustrated right now because of the af problems I feel like I have wasted another 6months. I stopped the pill in Dec and went to the re in Jan and now here we are and no further along. I feel like crying, I just turned 43 and I can't afford all this waiting around. I really think it will not happen. If I was in better health ie no type 2 diabetes or thinner maybe I would have a better chance. Ok I think I am finished venting, thanks for listening, I guess I didn't give you much choice, huh? LoL... I hope all is ok with Liz since she had her u/s 2 days ago and has not let us know how it went. Maybe she is having more than 1 and is in shock! Since I'm in Canada we do not have a long weekend coming up, ours was last weekend but I actually work weekends/nights/holidays anyway so I got nothing. Anyway I hope your u/s goes well tomorrow and your eggs are big as tomatoes (only kidding, couldn't think of anything else)...talk to you soon, Sam

Hey ladies
Sorry to not write for days, but the news was not good, and my husband and I took a few days off to try and recover. The doctor only saw an empty sac, no baby. Said it is a blotted ovum, and would not order an hcg level for me, jsut wanted to discuss d/c. I was so angry and frustrated, and shocked, after having so signs of m/c. I did research on the net, and have found another doc I will see on tuesday. If there truly is no baby, I will have a d/c next week, and go on, but I am completely and utterly devistated, and do not understand this God complex ogyn seem to have when it comes to odrering a simple hcg for my own peace of mind. The new doc I will see on Tues ( whos nurse I spoke to) said she was floored that they would not order the hcg for my own peace of mind just in case I was not far enough along for them to see baby on u/s, and that would have been the first thing his office would have done. My doctor just looked at me and said you know diabetics sometimes have blotted ovums...which is not true, it is not a proven fact the becasue your diabetic this may happen to you. In fact one article I read on the net about b/o said that 60% of pregnancies result in this, and it has nothing to do with father or mother, but is just science,and your bodies way of not letting an unhealthy preg go any further, like a m/c. Anyway, sorry to dump all my emoptions, but I won;t even know anything until Tuesday whan I se the new doc and have an ultra sound, and then blood work, if theres nothing in the blood I will have a d/c next week, then wait 6 weeks-3 mo before trying clomid again, if thats what we diceide this time. 2 lost babies in 1 yr is more thatn my heart thought it could take.

Hi Liz, I started to write last night but I am at work and cld not finish so I am trying again, although I am at work again. I am absolutely heartbroken for you and your dh, I'm so glad you have each other though to get thru this terrible time...plse be strong and know that I am thinking about you both and pray for good things...God has a plan and we just have to believe that maybe the child would have been in pain and God took care of all of you so that it would not happen. I wish and pray for you to recover from this both mentally and physically asap so that you can smile again...lots of hugs to you both...Sam

thanks Sam, I am really sleepya all the time, and Im trying to get some pep back, it's just so hard. I have all these preg symptoms, and they seem to be getting worse. Were still holding out hope that maybe I was just not far enough along to see the baby, but we will see on Tuesday. Im just hoping this can come to an end next week, and I can know for sure, have the d/c and get on with life. Thank you for your encouraging words. I was angry with God at forst, but my husband was so waonderful and Im so thankful for him, he reminded me this would define my character even furthur, and he's right. I repented to God for my anger, and asked him to please give me some sort of comfort and peace. I think He will in time, and I know things will feel better. Last night I spoke to friend who is an OB nurse, and at first I didn't want to talk to her because she has a baby girl and I didn't want to hear her cry over the phone, but I decided I could not be like that. So while we were talking last night she told me she had a blighted ovum, and like me did not even know what it was, but since she has read up on it, and could understand my frustration, but wanted me to know it had nothing to do with my diabetes, or anything I could have changed...that was encouraging!
