Ohwee ladies – here to our new thread! Nice, Thanks Shawna! Now - let’s keep this sucker lucky! One a month has been the stats to date – I’m praying for two this month!
Kristi – you hit the nail on the head hun, you know that this site / TTC in general will make you paranoid about things that “normal” people who hadn’t ever thought twice about the variables that go into procreation would never do… ha, you need to relax mama – your on your way to being a mommy! I’m so glad Shawna is here to be the “mother hen” if you will – (hope that okay by you Shawna!- ha), I just love the stories about Alexander! I love hearing how she cuts time short to check in with us & has to hurry back to bathing her son, making his dinner, taking care of his cold, tucking him in etc… It’s so refreshing & encouraging! My sister will be the first to say –with her 3 kids, that as much as they drive you nuts from time to time – just to watch them doing to most simple things like playing, swimming, watching t.v., taking a bath, sleeping, etc.. makes it all worth it…. Ah, I get all watered up just thinking about it! When I visit her & take her eldest (3) of her hands (haha, I know I’m a bad aunt – he is my favorite!) for a few hours / overnight – just to be with him – to teach him, give him an answer to all 50000 of his random what’s this hunny?! Questions – (yes, all the kids call me Hunny) –god it gives me such happiness just to watch him think & absorb information – to see how he just loves blindly & has no fear – to see the innocence & purity…. God, it just kills me…. Shawna – you know I am praying for you – I think of all the people who are TTC – Alexander deserves it the most & doesn’t even know it! A sibling is really a valuable gift in growing up & into the person you are… All the qualities of sharing, compromising, teaching & learning, protecting, scheming, creating & most of all – that sense of “real true love” were brought to me in the form of my brother & sister…. Without them I would not be the person I am today. The only people I can say that I would die for are those two. My flesh & blood…. The two people who know me better than anyone ever could – yes, Chris, my parents, my best girlfriends included… Siblings are truly important milestones in personal development & I pray for Alexander to experience that. Geez, I always post novels!! I’m moving on to another paragraph before I loose yall…..

Okay sorry – as you’ve probably guessed by now with my extensive messages anointed with flair…. Yes, I am guilty! I’m a writer. I am actually an HR Director for my “real” job & an aspiring writer in my “fantasy” life… I’m putting together an interactive, short story, semi-feminist poetry self help book. Hoping to publish it early next year…. BACK TO MY POINT! Kristi- keep us posted I’m thinking you just caught your BFP early – like as soon as the levels hit detectable – this would explain as to why you had the BFN’s up to the faint line… It’s still early – I am almost thinking that you conceived right around your birthday! Woo!! I cant wait to see what the exact conception date is determined to be! Oh yes, this next 9 months will be exciting! I am thinking – a girl!! So happy for you sweetie – just take it easy – stress will only complicate things! Take it from me the freakin’ stress psycho!! Leave the worrying / contemplating to us TTC. You know how good at it weve become! Hey – conditioning you know?! I recommend you chat w/ Shawna & get all the PG tips & check out a PG yoga regime! That’s what I want to do…. Be PG & do yoga & join a PG women’s workout group!! Relax, experiment with cooking & fun PG help bboks ( I hear the jenny mccarthy book is a must have!) I want to dance around the house in my underwear all fat & PG. I want to meditate for two! I want to glow!! Ah, ye – to hell with all the stresses – women have been reproducing throughout our entire existence! We are inclined, capable & destined to procreate! Damnit & I have hope despite the ugly reality! BABY DUST TO US ALL!!!! On a side note, if you ask me why all the sudden in the past 10-15 years infertility has become a hot topic…. I’d tell you ---The fucking hormones in everything we ingest. The artificial this,... the animal tested that,…the preservatives, the antibodies in everything, the antibiotics we have become immune to, the same way that certain fish are now dubbed “a-sexual” from toxic waters – pollution & hazardous materials dumps morphing & redesigning their genetic makeup… How scary is that?! As much as we “progress” scientifically with medications, procedures & science – if you look at the statistics, infertility was so slim in the past decades – not until now are the majority of the population of women coming to find out the long term harms the “miracle” depo shot has caused… only now are 1 in 3 sexually active people infected with the HPV virus… only now are we finding that the BCP protected us from getting pregnant but may be cause for pcos as it controls your ovulation… Now we learn how many women show symptoms of pcos ovaries but no pcos – Do our mothers even know of PCOS?! Look at how girls are now starting menstruation at 9-10 years old.. I don’t know about you –but, when I started at 14 that was the normal. It was strange to see a girl at 12 having periods & getting pregnant…Now, fly by night companies like Ovulex are getting rich on selling to a woman’s desperation… Secondary infertility is rising in all age groups of women. Insurance companies now have infertility coverage we pay for up the wazoo... RE’s are a booming business... IVF is the new hope for solution…. We were alls shocked to find how delicate having a baby can be… Thus we found ourselves here. The Problems getting pregnant forum… Surrounded by a border of “miracle” options for our emotional little problem – talk about rubbing it in! If it weren’t for the REAL women, their TTC journeys, the frequent success stories & the support – I would have probably lost my mind & gave up hope already! ----Although I feel just about there, My husband at 32 is so upset. Every month is a let down & we are "unexplained" - it's so hard to keep up the hope when you know you have a problem but nobody knows what it is.... Argh - another novel! Hold on.....

Oh my Monica, you made me cry again. Thank you for your wonderful words. I will write more later, just wanted to check in. Tuesdays are so rushed. Alexander always has hockey at 4:30, but he doesn't get off the school bus until 3:50. It's a good thing the rink is just down the street! Good luck tomorrow Kristi. I'm sure your numbers will be higher!!!!! BD*************

Let me wrap up my novel saga here. I spoke to my RE. We talked about the options & agreed that our plans for x-mas bd’ing will be too far out on the 21st & I will have most likely O’d already… I approached the 3-7 option & she said no….It’s better for me to take the 5-9 regimen as my cycles are longer & I “naturally” O later in my cycle… So, the 3-7 wouldn’t help to speed up a follicle growth…. She told me I should O 5-8 days after the last clomid – “if I’m lucky” (gotta love that NYC attitude) lol, & if not – I’m shot until Feb / March. She said to “give it a whirl” as I will be with Chris on my CD’s 13,14 & 15 & days 5, 6 & 7 after the last clomid…. Part of me says fuck it. I’m not even going to take it. I can see myself getting all psyched up during our x-mas trip on my 2ww & then just loosing it when AF comes again at the end of the month…. Ruining Chris’& mine’s time together before he leaves for Europe… Then the other part of me says to hell with it – I’ll never know unless I try… To answer you back in making any time to extend our three days – I have looked at his itinerary over & over – I could extend one more day with him to hit the 8 day after last pill CD 16 by making a day trip to Baltimore…. The morning of the 14th he heads out to Mexico & has the next 3 days in a city for the day & flying to the next in the evening... As much as I’d love to flight hop around Mexico & have sex – lol, I cant, as I have to wrap up things at my job b/c I’m leaving for x-mas vacation set up on the 17th @ 5 am… So, to hell with it. I’ll take the clomid just for fun & see what happens… I am so prepared for failure it’s nothing new…. Why not follow Dr’s orders & give it a whirl! Woo-Hoo, I LOVE hot flashes for no logical timing reason or success in sight!!! So, I’ll catch up with you lovely ladies Thursday – day 1… I GIVE ALL MY BABY DUST TO YOU LADIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -----WELCOME ELENA!!!! -----RELAX KRISTI!!!! -----KEEP US POSTED NIC!!!! -----HOLD US TOGETHER SHAWNA & GET THOSE DAMNED DR’S TESTS!!!!! ----- & EVERYONE STALKING, PLEASE JOIN US IF YOU”D LIKE!!!!! ****NO AF!!**** Cheers, Monica

 

Kristi - November 29

Oh my Monica, you are a riot to listen to!! I think you should go for the clomid, its not going to hurt anything, and if you dont then you will always wonder "what if"..... Just go meet the hubby and have a GREAT time and try try TRY to not think about bding and ttc even though that is exactly what you will be doing!! I will keep praying for you and for everyone!! I am feeling alot better after hearing all of your positive feedback to me and encouragement....and you know, there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING I can do to make a difference in what is going to happen with the test results or anything for the next 9 months (other than keep myself healthy of course), so I might as well enjoy what I do have and at least know that I CAN get pg!! Like David said, if it doesnt all work out this time, we will just keep up the lovin all the time until it does happen ;-) How funny.... Cant wait to hear Dr tells you Shawna, and Monica, keep up the novels, I think we ALL love them!!! And PLEASE just try to relax and enjoy the time you get to spend with Chris seeing as your time together is limited the next couple months... Will let you all know what happens tomorrow, it may be later in the day so just keep checking back!!

I am about to give up everything seems to be going wrong.

 

Shawna - November 30

To Babygirl, as you can see we have tons of support to offer. The girls here are all going through something right now and we are all hoping with the same outcome. Please feel free to share with us what's going on with you and hopefully we can help.

 

Shawna - November 30

Monica, you should take the clomid. I agree with Kristi. You don't want to be stuck thinking what if. I hate what ifs and try to avoid them as much as possible. Your words were so kind and I appreciate them so much. Will you start the clomid on thursday? Please let me know how you feel after taking it since I will probably end up on it. The gross cm I've had all week is gone. Since I had it while spotting, I'm assuming that was supposed to be a period. I am going to bed now, so I'll check back tomorrow morning if I don't get called in to teach! Good night ladies, sweet dreams!!!!!! *********************************************

Good morning girls how are we feeling? Had a dream last night that I was pregnant and l let all my family and friends know and then my dh woke me up because, he was late for work and I never finshed my dream, and I started crying. I'm so emotional. I really want this bad. Its like I tell my family I have a GREAT husband, two wonderful dogs and a great job and new house we just bought, and still I don't feel as happy, a baby would just make everything feel complete. It would make everything wonderful! Sorry had to vent to get things off my chest. Everyone have a great day!! *** baby dust**

 

Shawna - November 30

Well no call this morning. My sinus cold is moving into my chest. I can feel it getting all cloudy in there. Does anyone know anything about prometrium and femara? When I go to the dr on Friday I want to be prepared so we can get started right away. Take it easy Elena, it will happen for you. Getting stressed will only make things worse. However, feel free to vent here whenever you need to. We all know what you are going through. Good luck with your results today Kristi. I can't wait to hear how high your number is! Tell your dr to get your papers ready and ask about getting an ultrasound so you can see your little sac. I don't think anything else will be visible yet. I need to crawl back inot bed. My morning chauferring is finally done. Oh and Monica, have you ever thought about writing a book about what goes on in these forums. It could be like a journal about trying to conceive. I would definitely read something like that. So many women are in a similar situation. I like your style of writing as well. Your sense of humour is so sarcastic, I can really appreciate it! :) I think sarcasm is so funny, but Taylor (my dh) doesn't understand the art of sarcasm, so it is even funnier when he is trying to be sarcastic. Anyway, about the book. I am willing to be one of your subjects. Just wait until I start revealling some of my pregnancy/labour and delivery stories. Some are embarrassing, but you guys can't see me blush! Oh man, I need more sleep, I'll check back in a couple!

Bumping us up!!!

 

Kristi - November 30

Well, ladies, we may have to change the name of our post again....looks as if I may miscarry. My HCG levels are down from 58 to 16. Dr says it does not look good, but will go in again the morning to do another blood test, then will not get those results back till Friday. So, once again, I have to wait. Then if they are lower or whatever, I just wait to start bleeding and that could take up to 2 weeks! If nothing then they will give me something to make me bleed or something. I dont know. I have to tell you all, finally getting pg and then having this happens is soooo much worse than not getting pg at all!! I just dont know what to do. I dont feel like I am going to miscarry, like I do not have any spotting or cramping or anything....it just makes it sooo hard to know what to think!! I am just waiting waiting waiting.... The only thing is, is that now at least I know I CAN get pg. I just knew it was too easy...god. I am going to go lay down, my eyes are burning from crying. Will get back with you all later and just keep me in your prayers that Fridays test results will somehow be different!! Thanks everyone for being here for me!!

 

Shawna - November 30

Oh Kristi, I'm so sorry. I don't even know what to say. You and David are definitely in my prayers. Please take care of yourself. We are definitely here for you.

 

Elena - December 1
