[~Brandy~]

I'm out for sure this was a long lp for me too so I was hoping.... Bleeding started today tho. This cycle is my iui so onto cycle 39..may never happen

 

[Kdk24]

Well lovely ladies... We are gracefully bowing out. Had my genetic scan and baby is missing an arm and only has half a leg on the left side. Also, baby has a shortened umbilical cord causing little one to twist and develop spinal problems. They like it might be scar tissue from a previous d&c that caused these abnormalities to happen very early on in developement.
There is no chance of baby recovery and developing normally, so we've chosen to terminate!
I'm so heartbroken! Good news is, there's no reason we can't try again in 2-3 months!
I'm going to take some time off and relax. Sorry for dropping my problems on you ladies, its been a rough week and needed some time compose my thoughts. I'll keep checking in from time to time! Xoxox

 

[shellideaks]

So sorry to hear that KDK

 

[MandaAnda]

Kdk, don't apologise, hun. We all understand here, and if "talking" here helps, I think most ladies would agree that that's absolutely fine. ((hugs))

 

[Bride2b]

Oh my gosh KDK I am so sorry, how heartbreaking, I dont know what to say, you are very brave to make this decision & I am sure you are doing the right thing however hard it will be. Take care xxx

 

[Jessica28]

[dove830]

[snowflakes120]

KDK - I am so very sorry. I will keep you, LO and your DH in my thoughts.

 

[BamBamsMaMa]

Kdk - I am so sorry you have to go through this. I love your attitude and how you are handling the situation. Don't you ever worry about talking to us on things as serious as this. We are all here for one another. You will be in my thoughts.

 

[Tasha S.]

I'm so so sorry Kd!! My prayers are with you and your loved ones! Take care of yourself hun. xoxo

Wow there are so many familiar friends here and tons of new ( to me) smeppers.
Thought I would give my old smepping buddies an update. The end of February beginning of march we got news that we would not have a very good chance of conceiving by ourselves. We gave up. I drank a lot. A lot is an understatement. I Have not drank that much since college. So because of all the giving up and all the alcohol we didn't want anything to do with sex. So I didn't for one second think there could ever be a possibility that I could be pregnant but because I am addicted to peeing on things... I took a test and it was negative. I was not shocked. You have to have sex to get knocked up. Duh. So a few days later I am riding in the car and get car sick. Think hmmmm don't be stupid. The next day I have a sudden aversion to fried food so I peed on more test and again was not shocked they were negative. The next night I got up at 3:00 am to pee and thought might as well pee on something so I did and didn't even check it just went back to bed. The next morning I am brushing my teeth and I look down and am like WTF? Is that a line? It was well past the 10 minute mark so I had to wait to take another one. So around noon I take another one and then got busy and didn't check it for a couple of hours and I swear there is a line again. After 11 tests I was pretty sure it was a serious case of line eye. Then I remember Easter was the one sober day in march... And I did put out! So off to the store to buy more tests. That week I took 37 tests including 4 digi.

I am now almost 8 weeks pregnant! Due 12/16/13!!!!

 

[shellideaks]

Awwww congrats JoAnna, what great news x

 

[BamBamsMaMa]

Joanna - So good to see you here and to hear the great news! I think you are on to something... I have always thought that BD-ing every day or every other day might be excessive. Perhaps sperms live better or in greater amounts when we don't BD as much? That's how my BFF got pregnant. Her and her husband only BD once a week when she was ttc.

 

[snowflakes120]

Oh wow Joanna!! So happy for you!! Such great news!! Haha - your POAS addiction hasn't changed a bit a see!! H&H 9 months to you!! I bet Sam is just thrilled to be a big brother!! Congrats!!

 

[Sunny skies]

KDK, sorry about your news, must have been a difficult decision. You are very brave, thinking of you.

Joanna, congratulations. What an unexpected surprise, you must be over the moon.

AFM, keeping busy and trying to not stress out about TTC. Had a follie scan this morning and should be ovulating today or tomorrow. I go back Sunday morning to confirm if I O'd. I have 2 mature follies on my left and right and another on my right that may be mature at o time too.

Any testers soon?
