[Darkest]

Enjoy Mrskcbrown!

Having a horrible day, me and DH had a mahoosive row and i told him i didn't want another baby and to go get a vascetomy.

Part of me actually meant it.

Hey Rdy - I think that's a great decision to stop Clomid since it caused all this horrible side effects and go to an FS. Do you have a TTC journal?

Hey Darkest
Sorry to hear about your row with your hubby.

It's normal to get frustrated and sprout things at the heat of the moment. Every married / unmarried couple does that. So do we. Never an easy experience.

What's more important is how to solve the conflict after that. I'm sure you two love each other. Praying for God's grace for you two to work things out. Remember, "love covers a multitude of sins".....

Thanks! I do have a journal. . . however, I am awful at keeping it updated. . . and I mean AWFUL. I am really hoping that they can help us and that it will be fairly affordable. I don't want to "take things into my own hands," but I really feel like God gave us Dr's for a reason.

Darkest- so sorry to hear of you and your DH having a falling out of sorts. I will be praying for you two! If you need to "chat" we are all here for you!

 

[willbamom1day]

Enjoy your trip mrskc

for you darkest

For everyone I pray your needs are met and your desires come true

Good morning ladies!
Hope everyone had a good weekend.
Seemed like the weekend just flew right by!

Darkest - I'm sure everything will work out doll we all have rough spots in every relationship. Follow your heart

Rdy - I'm so excited for you! Glad you got an appt wish. I were in Austin! Part of the fam lives there

Mrskcbrown - wow! Have fun soaking up the sun and beautiful clear waters!

Had my 36 week appt today and it went really well just wanted to thank you all again for the prayers about my BP. It has been normal ever since today it was 122/78 which is close to perfect! Baby has officially dropped (I think he did a week or so ago). Now the waiting games begin! Lol

Hope all you ladies are enjoying your day
I can't believe the summer is nearly over already!

 

[cheerios]

Hey Rdy - I totally support your decision to go to a FS. I believe that God's plan can work together with doctors too. They are not mutually exclusive. Do you have insurance that covers visits to the FS? I understand the thing about keeping journals. Either you're a writer or not. I've tried to persuade a couple of my close friends to keep online blogs, so that it'd be easier for me to keep in touch with them, but they just aren't blog-people.

Good afternoon everyone, it seems like it has been so long since i have been on here to chat. wow Almost 2 months....first congrats to everyone that is now preggy....sorry i did not read back to find out who is and who is not. here would be a lot to read. Second welcome to anyone i have missed that has joined as well.
I have to say i have seen more blessings in the last 2 months then i deserve. I can truly see why i had a MC in Feb, not that it has been easy, but i see the blessings from it. Just to catch up....My hubby found out he is diabetic the first of June and it was by pure accident. We have worked really hard to get his labs looking good, and we got a great report from the doc last week. I can look back and see the path God has shown us. To think we may have gone months and years before we found out, and it could have been a lot worse. Well, my cycles after my MC still are not normal, and i am not O'ing at all so i have been referred to a reproductive endocrin specialist to get some extra help with my PCOS and to hope i can get preggy. I am very happy that i have now lost a total of 28 pounds and my hubby has lost 6. My appt to see the specialist is on the 3rd of Aug so about a week away. Honestly i am a little scarred, as i have never been to one. Any suggestions? Anyways, i pray for each of you, and hope you are all doing well.

Hi Ruby! Glad the Lord is working in your life.
I cant offer advice, but will be praying that your appt goes well sweetie

 

[willbamom1day]

Guppy glad the appt went well and God is still working in your pregnancy

Ruby glad you checked in Congrats on the weight loss and I am so glad to hear God is leading you guys down the right path. Hope to hear of more blessings to come.

 

[Darkest]

Thanks all for the kind words. You're all fab people.

Hi Ruby, i'm new. Well done on yours and DH's weight loss, that is great!

 

[FutureMommie]

Mrs KC Enjoy your trip

Guppy, glad you bp is back in check! I know you must be excited! Can't wait to hear about your delivery

Ruby Welcome back, I'm pretty new here....love your positive attitude. Good luck with your appt. keep us posted.

 

[Guppy051708]

Can anyone give me bible versus for getting through physical pain? I really think having some specific scripture will be helpful. x

Hi Ruby - I'm new here since your hiatus. I've been seeing an RE since my last mc in March. I don't have PCOS so your experience will likely be very different from mine, but perhaps I can shed a little light. My two bits of advice are, #1, to have your husband attend at least the first appt with you and #2, to write everything down. Take DH with you for two reasons - to help you hear and process and remember everything that gets discussed, and because they'll probably want to check him out, too. My first appt involved an hour-long consultation followed by a massive blood draw - 12 vials from me and 1 from DH. As for the take notes part: Between now and your appt, write down every single thought, question, comment, symptom you can think of, and write it down as you think of it. Take that list with you to the appt. It's the best way to make sure every question you have gets addressed while you have time with the dr. Without my list of questions, I invariably remember something I wanted to ask minutes after I leave the office. And take notes also means take notes during your appt - it's very helpful for referring to later because, no matter how much you hear and think you understand while you're there talking to the dr, it's such an overwhelming amount of information that it will go in one ear and out the other. Good luck, and I hope the RE is able to help you.



As for me, ladies, I am a mess. We had to put my dear, sweet, wonderful kitty to sleep yesterday. She'd been my constant companion for 13 years - I adopted her before I was even dating my DH. She got extremely ill very suddenly over the weekend - she went from completely fine to unable to stand within the space of about 4 hours on Saturday evening. We took her to the emergency vet clinic Sunday morning and they got her stabilized. I took her to her regular vet first thing Monday morning, where she was diagnosed with leukemia and organ failure. I called DH and he left work so he could be there to say goodbye.

I know I am blessed to have had her for 13 wonderful years. And I am so grateful that her illness was short - she didn't suffer for long or have a long, drawn-out illness. (Her bloodwork was completely fine as recently as April, so the leukemia was very sudden.)

But (and here's where I need your help, ladies) I am ready to stop getting kicked around. In the last 15 months, I have lost two babies, been uprooted and yanked on a cross-country move 2500 miles away from my family, and now I've lost my kitty too. I know that right now I am sad and hurting and feeling sorry for myself, but for the first time in my life, I find myself angry at the Lord. And yet, at the same time, I need Him to take away my pain and suffering. So please pray for me, ladies. I am in a dark and uncomfortable place, and I need grace in order to see the way out of it.

Auntie

I cried reading your post because I had my cats before I met hubby and they've been with me through the good and the bad times so I know how painful this must be for you.

My 2 tortoiseshell cats and the latest addition, our white westie dog are my babies! I get distraught if one of the cats goes missing over night and the 10days that the one went walkabout for straight after our wedding was unbearable. I feel so much for you right now. I know right now it doesn't help, but you gave your kitty a wonderful life and she was very much loved - and animals sense that even more than humans sometimes I think. Whilst it's good for your kitty's sake that the illness was a quick one, it is a shock to you. You haven't had time to deal with it yet, but I pray that God will give you the strength to get over the loss of your companion.

I also pray that God gives you the strength to move forward with your life and to help you get out of the dark place you are in right now. I really do think sometimes we cope with so much and then something often unrelated sets the tears flowing. In the last 6 months, I've burst into tears in the dentist when she talked about taking a tooth out and sobbed uncontrolably when my car wouldn't start one day. Deep down I know that it was never about the tooth and the car.

Praying that you feel some peace hun

Deb xx

Hi ladies

I'd be grateful of some prayers. Tomorrow I have my first counselling appt at the fertility clinic to help me get my head round all this and then I have to hang around for a couple of hours and then have an appt with the specialist - not really sure what for but I have some questions to ask so it will be useful anyway. Hubby can't make it to come with me tomorrow.

Then later on in the afternoon, hubby has his appt to get some more info about his 2 low hormone blood test results and where we go from here. He's asked me to go with him as he says he doesn't really take it all on board and I will know what questions to ask.

I'm not worried about my 2 appts although I'm getting really worried about the journey. I seem to have lost all confidence on motorways and driving in areas I don't know and there's not really an alternative route without taking hours. I know I have to get used to the journey cos if and when we start ICSI hubby wont be able to have time off for every single appt or scan.

I'm really worried about hubby's appt and the reason behind his low hormone levels. I'm guessing the Dr will go ahead and refer him to an endocrinologist as he said he probably would.

Hope you're all doing well
Deb xx

Hey Happy,

First, i am SO SORRY about your loss. That is a long time to be with a best friend and then loose them. I am also very sorry to hear about your MC's. I had mine in Feb. This has been along year for a lot of us. Thanks so much for all the great information. My hubby is going with me to that appt next week. He wants to go to understand more of what is going on as well. right now we are just in daily prayer for God's will. I pray you will find peace. It is hard not to be angry and upset and i pray that find peace and soon. I will check in later with you guys.

Blessings.
