I think it was time for a new start. Kelley, I hope so much that your Mil will be okay. I hope you're feeling better. Katt, that's strange about your opk. I have to check out your chart and see what's going on. Gayle, the peanut had arm and leg buds that were easy to see. How many weeks were you when you got an u/s? Robyn, you have been in my thoughts. I just wanted you to know how much we all love you! Tanya, the RE is a good thing. It made me nervous too. It's a lot to take in after the app, just so much info. Christine, you're so close! Hi to everyone else, Jamie, Leslie, jd, Rhonda, Shauna, Melissa, Erin.

bl - December 8

Tanya, at the first app the re only went over procedures and a timeline. It was left up to us to go home and thik about what we wanted to do. One we decided to do initial testing, I did b/w and a vag exam. Dh did s/a.

Hey girls, it's been awhile... so I don't know if everyone remembers me. Leslie, congratulations!!!! How wonderful to have your little one in your arms finally! Robyn, I'm praying that everything will be okay. Kelley!! Almost time! To everyone else, hi and I've missed you all. I just needed to step back a bit. I had become so consumed with ttc that I think it was doing more harm than good. Besides there was a little episode of depression after we moved. Anyway, doing fine now, still ttc - haven't been charting anymore though since I was taking a break. I know I'm about 5dpo though. Still have pelvic pains that started back in April, but they never did figure out. I haven't been to the Dr. since we moved here, but will set up an appt for January. Anyway, not much else going on with me. I hope you all are doing great!

Brooke - thank you so much for starting a new thread I was in tears from that bitch. Ok done not mentioning it again. Anyway I went got my hair done and i feel pretty good. I did alot of research and my hair dresser when to the same fertility clinic as me as used the same RE she now has 2 beautiful children. She told me that her betas never doubled they actually went lower and its every 2-3 days they should increase and 5 points is not that bad. Jason said doctors look at statistics and sometimes they just cant be so personal with the patient. But my hairdresser gave me encouragement last night to realize that I could have had late implantation and the number are well within the range of where they should be at this point. Plus my period isnt due for 5 days. So I am trying to stay positive and realize that I have no control out of this. But tomorrow will tell us more. First I must say that I cant say enough to all of you. i cant put in words how thankful I am to have met this group and how you all keep me going everyday. That my husband asks about all of you everyday and how you are all doing at what advices you have given. I am closer to you all then my friends that I see in person. I needed to say that. TANYA - I am so excited you have 5 days till your visit I know your nervous but its great to finally get started. TAN2 - whats going on with your beta as well and progesterone? I know you were 70 the other day when do you go back? KATT - I am not sure did i miss that you got the positive OPK or you missed it? KELLEY - not much longer cant wait to see pics of the new beautiful daughter you and your husband created. LESLIE - I have not even congratulated you and your husband and Alex on the newest addition of your son how wonderful cannot wait to see pics. MEL - I just read you embie report that you gave I will cross my fingers that everything works out for you i so know how you feel this waiting game absolutely sucks <<HUGS>> GAYLE - hope all is well. RHONDA - i pray and hope everyday for you and Mark you are very deserving good people. Anyway hi to anyone else I missed I will check in later. Please keep me in your thoughts and hope for good news tomorrow I will check in later.

Robyn thanks so much for keeping me and Mark in your prayers.I just want him to be able to find a job that will get our bills paid,im not looking to have lots of money blow on whatever i want,i just want to keep our bills caught up and jobs are so hard to find.I have noticed that alot of businesses slow down in the winter so that makes it a bigger challange to find work.He went to several factories and a moving company today.Right now we use my moms check to pay our trailer payment and phone and her insurance but we got a month behind on our phone and they are not very willing to let you get to far behind and we also have internet through them as well so if i stop posting for a while it is because we lost phone and internet"dang that would suck"He just better find a job really really soon.Robyn im glad you got your hair done and im really glad it made you feel better.Im sure your hairdresser is correct and im sure your baby is doing just fine,keep that beautiful chin up.We are always here for you no matter what.

Girls i just got upsetting news.My dr just called and they told me they got my lab work in and they told me i am very anemic.She said my level was 10.5 and they like it no lower than 12.They are going to call me in some iron pills to take 3 times a day.Does anemic mean im low on blood?I never had that before.Does it mean something bad will happen if my level dont rise?I was to scared to ask details about it.Great all i need is something else to be wrong.

Rhonda, when I was pregnant with dd, I was diagnosed as being anemic and had to take iron pills also. As long as you take the iron, you'll be fine. I guess anemia has to do something will red blood cells and if you lack TOO many of them then you could bleed more than you should. Meaning if you got a small cut, and it bled then you could bleed alot longer before you blood would clot and risk losing the good red blood cells you have. The iron helps build these cells to help for instances like this. They want you to take it now so when you do have that baby, you'll be safe. If I am wrong on this statement correct me anyone? This is just what I got out of it when I took it over 6 years ago. The only side effect of taking it is LOL...TMI dark poopie. LOL! And hard dark poopie at that. SORRY!!

Adult women: 12-16 gm/dl
Women after middle age: 11.7-13.8 gm/dl

These are the average ranges of what your hemoglobin should be and you are probably in the adult woman bracket and it does state 12 to be the lowest but in an older woman 11 is fine so you aren't to to bad but the iron will definitely help.

 

Rhonda - December 8

Mommywannabe thanks so much for answering me.I was not to sure what anemic actually meant.I cant beleive it is low.What else can i do to build my iron back up?

 

ROBYN - December 8

Rhonda I used to be anemic I was given iron pills. You should be fine just take the pills.
