TTC IN FEBRUARY THROUGH FRIENDSHIP AND SUPPORT - PART 2

Katt - February 10

I know a group of women in PC * Who have many hopes and dreams * Press on and discover it's not easy * While others shrug off ttc ----- Stop trying, they say, it will come * Unaware the scarring that resides *
Just when we think it's all thumbs * We wind up emotionally dumb ----- We have our support in the mix * Husbands are not the best ear * Wanting the immediate fix * We are drawn back to our clique ----- Together through friendship and support * For many months past and impending * We will never pretend or distort * While we wait for the bfp report ----- All ttc and pg welcome here * We long to hear your stories * To offer up all of our cheer * Then drive away all that fear ----- Come now journey on with us * On the ttc train of love * Even with a good long fuss * You will always have your trust!

Katt - February 10

Good afternoon! I felt compelled to start the new thread because of my silly behavior these past couple days. I had mind funk there for a bit, making voice mail and what not - crazy! I am befuddled by big decisions. Y'all have no idea how long it really took me gain the want to be a Mom. There has always been this piece of me that just couldn't fathom being a Mother until a couple years ago. I truely respect you all and love that you are here for me and others any way we can help. THANK YOU! Now where did I leave off the other day... I hope it doesn't turn out to be too long ;) - ERIN_ Thats great you are Oing w/o meds - YaY! That sucks about RSSN though. I think this tour is simply advertising and isn't the real deal. I hate to say that, but... YOu'll have to keep me informed of the concerts in your area maybe I'll come up? We always go to Ozzfest there in Columbus. JAMIE_ I have been told to use Cepheril (sp) as well. I may wind up using it as the Rxed Hylira is hard to get used to because it is like the alcohol gel stuff only it's supposed to be this wonderful moisturizer. Maybe after days of applications - my skin sucks it in like a sponge and wants more so who knows. I like B&B Works lotions. Holy hell, I had no idea horses lived that long! RHONDA_ Mark sounds like a great man to have! CARON_ I enjoyed Survivor. I am rooting for the underdogs as usual, lol. That one guy, Rocky, is no joke. He looks just like Sly back in the day - crazy! WELCOMES TO AHAY_ So sorry to hear of your m/c. Us girls are here for you whenever you need us so keep posting so we don't miss you! KELLEY_ The doc Rxed some potent cream that warns of child prolonged use could stunt growth, I am not so sure I should be using it in the 2ww, but I need the relief! Awe man so sorry AF came so early. At least you know your innards are working again! Oh and Kelley, thanks so much for the heads up on the triclosan I am going to send it out on myspace and email it too! RHONDA_ Maybe Mark should continue job hunting while working at the plant? LESLIE_ Thanks for joining my map! I hope Joey can give you some peace and quiet when it is needed ;) SHAUNA_ I think you Email couldn't handle the file size sorry. BROOKE_ Glad to hear all is well with you! Happy bday to your ds! GAYLE_ Actually the map on myspace is the "friends" map - I have a "ttc" map too! Maybe I can email a link there. TANYA_ I hope the RE delivers positive news for you. Thanks for the counter - I need to figure out just when I quit smoking so I can use it properly. CHRISTINE_ Sounds like you will be busy. Where will Ryne be in all this? I hope your students lighten up a bit for you soon. CARON_ Wow 11 eggs thats just awesome! Sending a bunch of fertilizer your way! ROBYN_ Keep your chin up girl. It has got to be hard with all that blood. An FNP I work with said she bled for months in her pregnancy, like you are and relayed how scary it can be. Glad it's little heartbeat is perfect! RHONDA_ Interresting how Marks fellow employees say he works too fast and the boss says he's too slow. My dh had an experience just the opposite, but the workers actually wanted him to slow down - union thing. Is there a Union where Mark works? Oh and V-day will be cd27 and 13dpo - I thought it was 14dpo, my bad. Dunno if I will test. If I spot on day 11/12 then most likely not. Sounds like Mark has an ulner nerve pinch, ironically enough that is a workman's compensation claim if he so chooses. He will most likely have an EMG - good luck! SHAUNA, BROOKE, GAYLE, JAN, and ROBYN_ Thank you so much for the advice, I think I will take it as I know I was thinking about it for all the wrong reasons. Truth be told, his second business still exists (the one I worked for in the past) it is in deep debt and on hiatus until his invention is specified by architects around the globe. I would really like to take my stay at home Admin position back when available as it would be quite detached from his wife, etc. Thank you all for your input I really and truely appreciate it! Alrighty I suppose I should stop typing and start getting busy here at home. I have to go to the grocery today - ugh! Check in laters! Luvyas!

 

Katt - February 10

oh man i just had some wierd cramping pains or something in my lower right side... what you think that means? Sorry about the long post! Well I am off to the grocery - wish me luck, lol!

 

Rhonda - February 10

Katt sounds like your in good spirits today yeah!!. You really think Mark has a pinched nerve?What can be done about that?What is a EMG? Do you think the cramping could be due to implantation?Maybe?How is your dry skin?I hope it is getting better for ya.Well love to you all.

 

ROBYN - February 10

Katt great start to the thread well said. As for the pinching or cramping the day before i took the hpt and i had some pain for a minutes on the right side. So maybe its implantation?

 

Katt - February 10

OMG I totally went overboard at the grocery! My excuse is dog & cat food, biscuits, litter and beer, lol! Um the beer is for dh of course. RHONDA_ An EMG is where they force electricity through the nerves in order to find blockage. The technician will place a "ground" on each finger (one at a time) and a band above the elbow or something like that and take this probe thingie and shock the nerve one by one. It's not fun - don't scare Mark though as he might not want to go to the Dr. The doctor may just give him a cortizone shot. I have bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome. I got the onset back on a job in 2001 replacing light bulbs in Kmarts across the US w/ dh before he was my dh. Anyway, I had to have 2 EMG's. Because it was comp I went ahead and did the surgeries. My orthopedist says that women who have the surgery before the age of 40 have a 70% chance of recurrence. oh joy. Anyway, just see what the doc say. ROBYN & RHONDA_ I certainly hope you are right. To be quite honest I have had wierd cramp twinges off and on for days now. I think it started at 3dpo! Eh it could all be in my head - most likely the case! Well I'll check back a bit later. Maybe sometime soon I'll voicemail all of you w/o the whining - haha!! Oh and GIRLS_ Thank you for the props! I am gonna send out a couple pics of Rascal and Sooks, so look for those! Luvyas!

 

Rhonda - February 10

Katt,it sure dont sound fun to have to get your nerves shocked"ouch"That is enough to scare me hehe.I think i am getting carpel tunnel because i have trouble griping anything.If i make a fist and squeeze my hand closed real tight,i have shooting pains that go down my wrist,and if i am writing,i have sharp pains in my wrist.It has been that way for a long time though.Katt i do beleive your cramps could be a good sign,my prayers are going strong for you honey.Luv yas.

 

ROBYN - February 10

KATT - just got your pics of Rascal and Sooky holy crap they are so cute i want that puppy !! LOL Give him tons of hugs and kisses from his Aunt Robyn and his cousins, Vox, Doc, Wyatt and Hemmy. Rascal doesnt know he has long distance cats for cousins. LOL

 

Rhonda - February 10

Robyn you wanna puppy?I have two that are part austrailian shepards and they are so adorable.They need homes.Well so far i have been feeling pretty good today.No nausea since like 5:30 am.Maybe it was just a 24 hr bug i had.I just have a slight headache,which i think is due to being tired though hehe.I cant wait for bedtime to roll around.I am just beat.

 

Rhonda - February 10

Katt i just got the pics of Rascal and Sookey.That pup sure is a cutie.He seems to like the camera hehe.I saved the pics in my pic album.

 

Katt - February 10

RHONDA_ carpal tunnel is quite normal with a pregnancy I would wait to see if it goes away after delivery, etc. Thanks, I do think Rascal poses. I have a cat, Stuart who poses too; he won an award for cutest pet! I am accepting all the prayers I can hold - Thank you! ROBYN_ You're too funny - I'll be sure to do it! Where is everybody? It is supposed to snow here again Monday and Tuesday - yuk. We have like 2 weeks of poop in the back yard already! By the time we get to cleaning it up - 2 dogs should equal about 42+ piles of poop!!! yuk I better save the dog food bag. While I am thinking about it I think I will do just that. Cyas later!

 

cmelissa - February 10

Katt thanks for starting the new thread! Rascal is a cutie!!! Well they retrieved 11 eggs - 8 fertilized - i hate the daily reports they make me anxious - its like i'd rather not know till the date of transfer, haha!! I just hope i have 2 blasts - they said they would put in 3 this time too - not 3 blasts but if there is 1 thats a little behind etc. So the ET is on Valentines Day!! Survivor was pretty good - i was surprised that girl got voted off first.

 

bl - February 11

Hi girls, Katt the pictures of he pup are so cute. I love seeing the snow. We have to drive a few hours to the mountains if we want to see it. I hope you are having some implantation cramps. Keeping my fingers crossed. Robyn, has the bleeding slowed down today? I'm glad you got an app to get the testing done. In a few weeks you will be able to tell the sex of the baby. Are you hoping for another boy? Cmel, it seems like you are having a really good cycle. I hope they can put back 3 blastyos. I'm seriously praying that three times the charm for you! Rhonda, I hope you're feeling better. I wonder if you have some sort of flu? Try to get some rest, although that's probably impossible with 4 kids. It's been raining here for a few days. I kind of like it and we need it anyway. Although it's not very motivating, not like I really am anyway :)

 

Katt - February 11

Good Morning girls! Nothing much to report here. I am cd22/10dpo. I Oed really early this month as compared to the last 2 clomid cycles. Threw me for a loop! So much so that John and I only got 2 days of bding in - I sure hope our timing was best! According to my software, timing couldn't have been better but one has to consider time of day and all of that. Anyhoo, doesn't seem like too many people have been posting... where is everyone? CARON_ I feel for your daily reports as the emotion is near the same as temping toward the end of the 2ww. So glad 8 fertilized thus far. Keep us posted! Your ET is on V-day and my 2ww is over on V-day. Hopefully Valentines Day will bring us good things ;) BROOKE_ It would be sp awesome to have a bfp on Valentines Day...not as great as Christmas but a good second - superficial holiday or not - I am sooooo ready for it!! As the cliche goes, third times a charm! For Caron it is ET's and for me it's Clomid. Prayers are being said! ROBYN_ I am actually curious, are you hoping for another boy as Brooke asked? BROOKE_ I am so not a fan of any percipitation. There is this city/island off the coast of Alaska I think near Canada that stays 70 degrees all year long - that, my friend, would be perfect! Okay well its laundry day and I need to start the next load. I'll check back later! HELLOS to Kelley, Kathy, Leslie, Jess, Rhonda, Christine, Christie, Ahay, Tanya, Jen, Erin, Natasha, Nicole, Shauna, Jamie, Denise and Heather!

 

Katt - February 11

Holy crap I just noticed a major typo in my opening post!!! The last sentence section should read: Come now journey with us - On the ttc train of love - Even with a long fuss - You will always have OUR trust! --- oops, not your, our OMG I so messed it up. I think y'all read through the lines but just in case I wanted to point it out. cyas!
