African or African-Americans TTC

[Regalpeas]

Welcome CeeDee! Wishing you the best on your journey.

Futuremommie- I hope you enjoyed Prince. Also fx for tomorrow. I pray this is it for you as well. I think it's very proactive of you to relax as much as possible during 2ww. Baby wishes to you.
Also so glad your dh is very supportive. This is a very challenging time no added stress needed.

InLuv- Sorry you've had a lot going on. I can understand your venting. Shoot, that's a lot to deal with all at once. I'm no stranger to the ER so I know how uncomfortable and frustrating it can all be. I'm glad you're feeling much better.

MrsKc-one month for Malcom Yay! Also I will pray for you and DH. I've heard differing views in parenting can be a stronghold but I know y'all with get through it because I am sure you both want is best for him. You both will find a middle ground.

Purplekisses-that's where I'm at right now...going with the flow. I think its a good place to be.

Also, I am so proud of you ladies aiming for your doctorates. We need more african americans who have Ph.ds(and all other categories of doctorates) I am very proud. Keep on keeping on!

AFM I am now on 100mg of clomid and will be taking good care of myself and trying to reach that egg/s in a couple weeks would like to ask everyone to hold me in their prayers,tx

 

[FutureMommie]

Purple- Your sis gave you good advice, this will all work out for you, I hope you aren't stressing too much and enjoying that beautiful little girl that you have

MrsKC- First of all I love your profile pic. I'm praying for you and dh, I know your are a strong couple and you will get thru this. Wow you haven't spent any of your money on baby stuff?!? God is good!!!!

Inluv2- glad you finally got something for the severe morning sickness, and now you are able to eat!! Now you can really start to enjoy your pregnancy. Keep us posted on your progress, we want to go through this pregnancy with you. I know hearing that heartbeat must have been awesome.

Regal- Prince was awesome, it was one of the best concerts I've ever seen!!!

Nightnurse- I hope clomid does the trick and you get your bfp

AFM- I had my IUI yesterday and all went well. My hubby was so excited that his sperm count went from 39 million to 59 million, he has been taking fertailaid for men and it really works, his motility had improved as well. There was never a problem he just decided to start taking it! I was ok after the IUI but started to cramp really badly around 2pm, I was in bed all afternoon with a heating pad which did not help. I took tylenol which finally took the edge off around 9pm. I think I'm a little overstimulated from the follistim injections and the trigger shot. Today I'm better not in so much pain but still can't walk at my normal pace and feel like I'm walking hunched over. I call my RE's office to see if they have any suggestions so I'm waiting on them to call me back. This part sucks but If I have my bfp in the end, it will all be worth it.

Hey ladies,

I hope all is well with everyone.

Future, I am praying for you. I am claiming your BFP this cycle. To God be the glory.

Mrsk, God is good. When we honor Him he honors us. You are truly blessed.

Purple, I know it will work out for you.

InLuv, I am so excited for you.

Nightnurse, May God be with you and give you many blessings.

Welcome to all the new people and Hello to all that I may have missed.

 

[floppyears]

Stopping to say Hello ladies . I had to go back and read to catch up. Welcome newbies .

 

[Regalpeas]

Hello Ladies! Happy Humpday

Nightnurse- you know I'm with ya fx and praying for that BFP for you next time. We are both on to the next cycle with positive hearts and minds

Futuremommie- I hope you feel better. Is this the first time you've experienced this amount of cramping and pain? If so might be a great sign. Yay for Fertilaid. Maybe it will make all the difference for you both. Praying it does

Mrskcbrown-Are those both your babies in your profile pic? If so beautiful. I love it! Makes me smile.

Ready- Hiya! :wave:

Floppyears- So good to see you on here hon! How's it been going?

AFM, I've been temping and I got the smilie face clearblue monitor. I will compare it to the dollar store ones I had before. Hopefully wont need opks after this cycle so I'll leave it that for now. Other than that just trying to enjoy life and catch up on some personal goals I've let slack in the last few months.

Hey ladies! I just wanted to drop by and see how everyone is doing, glad things are well with everyone!

Future, I really feel like your time is coming and I hope this is your month!

In luv, glad you got to hear your little grain of rice!!!

Mrskc, Malcolm has gotten soo big, and he's so handsome!

AFM- I am doing great! Just tired all the time and breast feel like tumors! I'm also in microbiology this semester so I have to fight to stay awake in class. My first appointment is on April 11th so I'm just trying to not stress but I do hope everthing checks out ok and we get to hear our baby's heartbeat, anxious until then!!

 

[Tina Bee]

Hey ladies! Just popping in to say hello.

 

[FutureMommie]

MrsKC- this will be the first for both of us!

Ready- Thanks for rooting for me!

Regal- I've experience cramping before but not to this extent. I know I have a mild case of hyperstimulation. My RE said if I am pg that it may get worse. I just feel uggh, crampy and a little nauseous which is common with hyperstimulation. I hope I don't feel like this for the entire 2ww.

Ntaylor- I hope this is our month too. April 11th isn't that far away, I can't wait for your update.

afm- still feeling really crapy today too. My RE recommended drinking gatorade for the electrolytes, I can't see that it's helping. Of course I don't feel as badly as I felt Monday and Tuesday but I would prefer to be at home in bed but if I did that I would probably be out the entire 2ww. I'm hoping at the end I will get a bfp. I'm feeling really positive about this cycle and my response, I'm praying for a bfp.

Hope everyone is doing well!

@regalpeas: Yes those are my kiddos. My daughter is 10 yrs old. I think she has such a pretty smile especially in pictures.

AFM, Malcolm is still keeping me up sometimes but he is getting way better. He sleeps better on his tummy so guess what, I lie him to bed on his tummy. I know they say, "back to sleep" but Malcolm wakes up everytime. So when he is on his tummy, I sleep next to him with my hand on his back because Im paranoid. I dont think I will get a full nites sleep until he is 1. I am kinda ready to go back to work. I am bored at home and I dont think being a SAHM is for me. Besides I miss my career too. My students bring me so much joy most days.

I am disappointed in some of my female students because I am finding out that a lot of them are pregnant. The two who contacted me are both 16-17 and one is having twins. They know how I feel about teenage pregnancy and education so they were apprehensive at telling me. The one who is having the twins has been my student for 7th, 9th and some of 10th grade, so we are close. She asked me was I mad, I told her no, disappointed yes but there is nothing that God cant handle. I just dont want their future to be stunted by having children, and I know that they can "make" it but why make it harder on yourself if you dont have to?

Ok rant over. I just love my students and want the best for them because I can see the best in them.

Hey ladies,

Mrsk, I know how you feel about teenage pregnacy. I was pregnant teen and it was very hard. I hope to one day open a home for pregnant teens and teen moms. You have to grow up very fast!! I was 17 when I got pregnant with my oldest and 18 when I delivered. He is 20 now and he is a good boy (okay man). He is in college has no desire for kids now (Thank God!). But it was not easy I had to sacifice a lot for him to turn out the way he did. For one after high school I had to go to work and college came later. No partying with friends most of them leave you. I didn't even go to prom. But as I said he is a great person (hard to believe he is a man). He lives on his own, works and still in school. But he loves the ladies. LOL I wish I could talk to some of your students. Let them know they have gave a part of themselves they can never get back.

Sorry to ramble.

 

[Vrainoire]

Hey ladies!! I haven't had anything done yet..because..i'm not in a rush..the bleeding has stopped so i don't know whether i should still take the bcps or not..and i'm kinda taking my time before setting up this biopsy ..I hope all is well with everyone!!

 

[CeeDee]

Regalpeas-Thanks for the welcome!
Mrskc- Your son and daughter are so cute! Love the new pic! It’s so sad that teenaged girls feel like they have to have sex. If they only knew they don’t have to do it!

Inluv2-I hope the MS stays away and you have a great pregnancy.

FutureMommie-Glad to hear you enjoyed Prince. I’m a big fan! Sorry to hear that you are having bad camps from the IUI. I hope they get you your BFP!!!

Nightnurse-You will be in my prayers.

AFM, just taking my supplements, praying and counting down the days till I ditch the BCP.

Peace and Blessings everyone! Hope this was a good week.

 

[mrskcbrown]

Awhh yes ladies, just keep my students in your prayers. I so want the best for them. I want them to be successful African-American women and men. Leaders and not followers, just the same as I have for my own kids!

@ceedee: thanks for the compliment.

Next week we go for our 6 week checkup already!! Seems like time is going so fast. Malcolm can already hold his own head up for a few minutes and he tries to raise up. For some reason I cant wait to see my DR, LOL! I guess when you see them so often for 10 months you can miss them. She is an amazing person. Im hoping since I have already been diagnosed with PCOS that she can just prescribe me the medication when DH and I decide to get preggo again. I would hate to go to the fertility specialist again.

Pray everyone has a great weekend. Malcolm is waking and time to get ready to go to Target. I hope he acts right!!!

 

[InLuv2]

Hey all,
Just stopping in to say have a great weekend ladies and may some BFP's come from it!

AFM-Leaving @3am heading to FL to board our spring break cruise (kids cruise). Should be loads of fun, we are heading to two islands in the Bahamas for a day each then sailing with plenty of kiddie activities on board. Now let's just see what the baby likes or dislikes with all this motion business. Packing my anti-nausea pills just in case.

Be blessed,
~InLuv~

Have fun! I had to use the patch behind the ear when I was on the boat last summer. It didnt help the first day but the second day I was better!

 

[Regalpeas]

Hi Ladies! I hope everyone is having great weekends.


Nytalor I hope your pregnancy symptoms subside some. I know that must be very uncomfortable at times.

Futuremommie- I hope things are getting better for you. I feel your positive energy. I love it fx I'm really praying this your time.

AFM, tomorrow starts testing for O. Dh and I are trying to relax ...it's so hard not to get anxious by trying to do everything right lol. Had a good day today. It was beautiful outside chilly but very sunny.

 

[FutureMommie]

I've finally decided to start a journal so feel free to stalk me and post, I need all the support I can get right now.

 

[mrskcbrown]

Hey ladies. I pray all is well with everyone.

Futuremommie: Im following your journal.

Malcolm will be 6 weeks this friday and getting so big! I hold him all the time
