Morning girls ... I hope that everyone is doing well today. It sure will be strange without Rhonda here for the next few days, she's the one who posts the most and always has so much to say ... I hope that her delivery goes well. ROBYN, how are you feeling today? When is your next appt at the RE? GAYLE, that's good news about the results coming back normal, it was probably just a fluke ... you know a while back I read an article that said that some scientists now think that as many as %50 of pregnancies end in m/c, most before the woman even knows that she is pregnant. Well, better go for now, DD is demanding my attention. Have a great day!

Morning girl. Rhonda, will be thinking of you today. Anyone know what time her c-section is? May be I will send flowers if I figure out which hospital she is in. Hmmmm. Robyn how are you feeling? I am pretty sure that bright blood is normal. I had some bleeding after my m/c and I was only 5.5 weeks. Your uterus is contracting. I hope you ad a better night. We love you and want to share your pain. Empathy is what makes us as a human race special. (((Hugs Robyn))) Hellos to all you lovely ladies, Kathy, Erin (good luck today), Brooke, Kelley, Leslie, Christine, Shauna, Jen, Jess, Slow, Gayle, Michelle, Caron, Esmeralda and anypne else I may have missed. Be back later.

Hey girls, 1st Rhonda you are in my thoughts for a safe c-section and a healthy baby girl <<HUGS>> 2nd Gayle I am not bleeding really heavy just bleeding. The cramping seems to be gone today so thats good. But the bleeding remains. I think i read that the red blood is also good that stuff is shedding so i will go with that and hope that it ends soon. KELLEY - my RE appt is on the 28th of March and couldnt come quicker. But I think i will probably wind up bleeding for a while so i just would like a tenative start date again. Girls i feel better this morning. Jason and I made a wonderful dinner last night it took 3 hours to make it was from scratch and I drank a bottle of wine my first taste of alcohol in about 5 months. We talked for hours Jason cried and so did I he said that i am the love of his life no matter what we have been thru he loves me and Anthony more than anything in the world. He also said he will never know what it was like for me to go thru this but he knows in his heart that we made the right decision for our little girl. We want a healthy baby alive and not suffering like she would have suffered. So we can move on and try and have a successful IVF cycle soon. So i decided that being depressed is too easy then being happy and being negative is also too easy than being positive. So i am going to be positive and realize that things happen for a reason. I dont know if this will last for just today or i will get better each day but i can try. I have a wonderful husband and son a great family and great friends. You all dont realize how much you are helping thru this I love you all and i will get better its just gonna take time.

Robyn, what a relief that you are feeling better. I hope this peace will last for you. March 28, will be here before you know it and you will be back on the ttc wagon. You, Anthony and Jason are so lucky to have each other :)

good morning all - Rhonda you are in my thoughts today and I hope you have an uneventful c-section and a beautiful baby girl to hold soon. Sorry I haven't posted much lately, I've been tired this week as Joey isn't sleeping well at night all week, but with mid-winter break and all this week he's off schedule. The getting up every 2 - 3 hours is getting to me. Robyn - I have been thinking about you a lot and hoping that you are doing all you need to heal from this, including allowing yourself to grieve and letting your husband take care of you. Sounds like last night was a good thing for both of you. Kelley - sounds like Saydie is getting big. Back to your question a long time ago, we haven't had sex yet either. I'm struggling with it because I have no sex drive whatsoever and I've heard that breastfeeding causes you to have low estrogen? so maybe that's the reason I'm not thinking about it at all. My poor husband, I've got to figure out if you can do anything to help that along. Tanya - you sound like you're doing better and I'm glad your back to posting, I missed you. Erin - let us know as soon as you're able to test, were ready for a positive result here. Hi Katt - thanks for the email to let us know you'll be back soon to posting. Gayle - sounds like your husband has turned into quite the stud at the academy...what fun! How much longer does he have? Brooke - how are you feeling? Tell me the official due date again - Hi to Caron, Jamie, Kathy, Shauna, Jess, and everybody else... Oh I had a thought, is anybody interested in exchanging a list of official email's and addresses I know that I would have liked to have sent some cards to friends on this thread lately. Let me know and we can do it through our emailing (not posting them here). Talk to you all soon!! xoxo

Hi girls! Robyn, it sounds like you and Jason had a really nice night and got to talk about how you felt. I'm sure you will continue to have your high and low moments. You really are so lucky to have such a supportive family. Rhonda, Oh, I'm wishing you the best of luck today. Can't wait to hear from you in a few days. Leslie, I have a really low sex drive while preg and breastfeeding. I do think it's hormonal and being tired doesn't exactly help either. My due date is 7/8/07.Gayle, it's good that you got your results back. What testing will they do on you? Katt, I hope the car search is going good. We miss you! Today ds has his 3 yr check up, it's always fun to see how much he's grown. Dh will meet us there, It's nice to have him there too. I hope everyone is doing well.

Well ladies, BFN but I did something stupid to but I don't think it made the test results any different. Here's my stupidity...LOL I POAS but I was holding the window side facing the water in the toilet. And when I looked at the stick nothing was happening this was a good minute. Usually when I POAS you can see things happening fairly quickly. So since I hadn't flushed yet I quickly and safely dipped the tip into the toilet with the urine still there for about 8 seconds and as soon as I pulled it out you could see it working. Well as it was scrolling across I could see the first line, very thing but it was there but as it kept scooting across it got lighter until the second line formed then it was non exsistant. I know it was very stupid of me to dip in the bowl but I figured with as much urine as was there it'd be no different than watered down pee. SO for now, BFN. I guess I'll take the next test tomorrow AM just to verify but I am going with BFN for right now. I know it was gross for me doing that but my hands came no where near any part of the bowl and as soon as I took the test and read the results I was scrubbing my hands with soap and used the antibacterial gel afterwards. What do you think? Hope you guys don't think I'm a disgusting pig. I would've normally not done that and threw it away and tested again but I didn't really have the funds to get the tests well I did but not alot of money and didn't want to waste it so that's why I did that. I wish I didn't just tell you that but I wanted to show you why I said I did something stupid. UGH!! God I feel stupid for even saying it. LOL!!

Robyn, glad you had a good night yesterday and hope the peace stays with you. IT may take time but remember we are ALWAYS here. Rhonda, good luck today can't wait to hear about you and Sophie and please ladies...don't think I'm disgusting...I feel so stupid for doing that and for telling you but sometimes I get carried away with telling stuff and just went ahead and typed it out. LOL!!

Hey Erin - nobody thinks you're disgusting...come one those tests are expensive and I don't blame you for trying. Its not like you scooped it up with your hands!! Try again tomorrow if nothing happens today, you never know until the b**ch shows up. xoxoxo

Erin, that's too funny!!! And no, it's not disgusting! I dont think you can get an accurate reading from it though. You should try again tomorrow. :)

LOL!!! Now that you say that I feel better. LOL!! Also, I guess I can see that the water/pee mix would be heavily concentrated so it could be wrong but I really think it's still BFN. But it was weird to see the first line there if only for a brief second or two. As soon as it got the control line done it was gone so I thought that was weird. I am beginning to think that if this is a BFN than either DH's numbers we worse than what RE said it to be or I am really F'd up. LOL!! It's been long enough. We kinda starting traying Nov. 04 before we were even married but really started trying March 05 before we got married in September so it's going on 2 years. I don't care if it is BFN this month or next seeings that we aren't officially TTC till after DH's contractor's test but still this is friggin' ridiculous. LOL!!

I really don't want to have to have a medicated induced AF though if it is BFN. I just hate that. I think that's more disheartening than BFN's. It's the F'd up irregular cycles that just started happening in 05. It's like once I get that cleared up maybe it'll happen but RE said I'm fine just annovulatory. Wasn't before. UGH!!

Erin if its a BFP the line would have stayed did it stay? It could also be the evaporation line. Just do another test and be on the safe side. Pretty funny way of testing gotta admit that one. OK girls this is really screwed up my boobs are completely engorged hard as rocks and starting to leak. So we went thru our paperwork from the doctor on Tuesday and it said that its common several days later to have sore boobs and they make leak its completely normal. So how screwed up is that I have nothing to show for it. I would never think that would happen at being 3 months pregnant. Anyone heard of that before or GAYLE with your recent D&C did that happen to you??

Robyn, no the line disappeared after the control line showed up so who knows. Yeah I am going to do another one tomorrow AM just to be sure but I'm guessing...going out on a limb here...BFN!!! LOL!!! It was a funny way of testing and I would've probably made fun of someone for doing that so I had to laugh at myself when I did it. I was thinking "what a stupid ass I am for doing this...OH WELL (DIP)". LOL!! I only know of one person that happended to. She had her appendix burst when she was like 15 or 16 weeks, I think it might have been 18 but can't remember and lost the baby and she leaked but I'm not sure how much or how long. I haven't talked to her in a long time but that's what I remember her telling me. So I guess it's not unusual but since Gayle just went through it as well, she might be able to help you more.

Erin thanks, if i were you i would not be very patient and i would going out to get another test. If it stayed positive that maybe it really is positive. Oh the OB called out of the blue and said that he had been thinking about me all week. He said my blood work came back perfect there is nothing wrong with me. It was a "freak anomoly" what happened to the baby and would never happen again. He gave us the all clear for the next IVF cycle it made us very happy in a weird way.

Hey ladies - sorry i have been mia - my sister and 2 nephews are in town so have had little time to check in. I have my beta in the morning at 900am, not to optimistic as i have never had a positive yet so we shall see!!! Wish me luck!!
