MMW: How exciting! Your baby shower is only about 3 weeks away! 14 Weeks until little man comes, I can’t believe it! I can’t wait to see pics!

MK: I can’t believe you old your little one is getting. That is amazing that you are able to take such a long maternity leave. What a blessing. I hope it won’t take long on the Femara for number 2!

Brandy: Oh no! What a huge scare! I am glad that you were able to identify what you were feeling and get to a hospital quickly. I am also glad that they were able to get it resolved for now. I hope those babies stay in for a long time! I have a friend here that is having the same issue. She was in the hospital for a few weeks. She is home now, and they are hoping to keep baby in until mid next month. How scary for you guys to go through this.

TLB: I hope this is it for you! Then you can join all the others that have has success in this group. How wonderful. Temps up is a good sign. Are you testing or getting a beta?

Sugar: I know IVF is so expensive. I hope you are able to figure something out soon. You have been doing so great getting into the right place to be able to do it. I can’t wait until you have a little one on the way.

AFM: Just hanging out waiting to see if we are approved. Every day feels like it is a week. I can’t imagine what it will feel like once we are approved and waiting to be picked. They say once you are on the adoption path it is as if you are having a psychological pregnancy. Let me tell you, it is true. I can’t think of anything other than cloth diapers, nursery colors and sets, breastfeeding protocols, and baby clothes. The problem is with adoption and a psychological pregnancy we don’t have a due date, so it is really hard to know what to do when. Hopefully we will be approved in the next 3-4 weeks, and then who knows how long the next phase will be.

Karen- I have a good feeling that you will be chosen quickly FX for you and your DH!

 

[sugarpi24]

i hope you hear something soon Karen!! and i hope the process goes quickly so you can have a little one in your arms!

 

[LolaM]

I am reading along, even though i havent taken Femara in almost a year now.

 

[Chook]

I'm still here! 11 weeks 1 day have my next scan on the 29th.

Take it easy brandy! That must have been really scary for you guys.

I hope you don't have to wait too long Karen. It must be a frustrating process.

Can't wait to hear about your scan prayerful.

Hopefully you don't have to wait to long for ivf sugar

Wow 14 weeks to go mw! That has flown

Glad to hear you are trying for number two soon mk. We have decided to only have this one. We really don't want to put ourselves through it again lol.

Mrs stinski!!! Where are you?

Hope everyone I have missed is going great xox

 

[karenh]

Thanks for all your good wishes everyone! I am glad that you are still following along Lola and Chook. I know none of us are really doing Femara anymore, but it is nice to still feel conected to you all and that we can support eachother in where we are now in our process of building families.

I just got an email from our caseworker saying he finally talked with our social worker from the state. He said most everything she said he already knew, but there is one thing that came up that he wanted to talk to me about. He asked if I could talk. UGH! I tried to call him and no one answered, not even his receptionist! I can not handle not knowing! I hope it really isn't anything and we can move forward. He has no idea how vauge info like that just shoots my anxiety through the roof!

I've been testing. No second line yet...

MMW - I am glad you are still getting on good with the pregnancy. 14 weeks!!! That is so crazy how quickly time flies. Have fun at the baby shower and enjoy every minute. You deserve it!

MK - How great it must be to have been able to take such a long maternity leave! It is exciting that you will be trying for #2 soon. I hope it will be a quick process for you.

Brandy - How are you handling the bed rest? I hope everything goes well at the ultrasound on Monday!

TLB - I hope this is it for you! Good luck!!

Karen - That sounds completely accurate about adoption being like a psychological pregnancy. I can't imagine how hard it must be to be in a state of constant limbo. Have you been able to get in touch with your caseworker yet? I hope everything is good!

Chook - I'm still excited for you that you finally have your little bean! How are you feeling?

AFM - The ultrasound went great today! It really felt unreal after waiting so long to finally see my little bean on the screen. We got to see the baby's heartbeat but weren't able to hear it yet. It was such a great feeling. I am a little sad the second embryo didn't make it but am so blessed to have this one!

On a side note, my ovaries are bigger than my uterus right now!

 

[~Brandy~]

Prayer- It's rough. I am one of those people that work 8-10 hour days, clean house when I get home, cook dinner.... and still have energy. Sooo laying in a bed and knowing someone else has to do what I normally do is already bothering me It's for the babies though! I feel back to normal already and no more pelvic pressure so I am hoping when I see the doctor he will atleast let me return to small everyday tasks.

Your ultrasound is fantastic! I am so happy for you

 

[Prayerful]

Thank you! I'm glad you are feeling better.

 

[sugarpi24]

Karen- does he work tomorrow so he can call you?! That would make me anxious and stressed not knowing either! hope he calls back soon!!!

Prayerful- sorry about the second bean but I'm glad you have one and I hope it sticks!! Glad it went well today!!

Well hubby and I are getting lots of overtime this week!! 20hrs each!! Which means more gone off credit cards!! Oi! Cant wait to get those gone!! Hope everyone has a good weekend! Anyone have anything planned? Hubby and I are working tomorrow (we were going to celebrate my dads bday but got offered to work and had to take it) he understands. Sunday I'm going shopping with my mom while hubby stays home and plays video games lol

I have been really lucky living here in Canada in regards to maternity leave we're given one year with financial support then my work also allowed me to stay off for 6 more months. I'm taking care of two other one year old babies to support income it's been really nice to stay home with her

that is really great, I wish we had that long here. I can TAKE 12 weeks but i only get PAID for what is saved in my leave account.

 

[~Brandy~]

Ya every employer in the states is different. I get 6 months only 3 months is paid.

 

[sugarpi24]

I'm not sure on the time....but my employer doesn't pay for maternity leave :/ we just file with FMLA.

 

[KelliGal]

Hey ladies, can I join? I've just started Femara this cycle!

 

[nc1998]

Hey ladies! Sounds like everyone is doing well. Fx'd for those of you still on the femara, and in your journeys toward babies!

I am 39 weeks tomorrow and hanging in there. I crushed my finger in the car door a couple weeks ago - breaking it and (ick!) losing the fingernail. So my right hand is all bandaged/splinted up but I am starting to feel better and not too afraid of baby coming now - lol. At first all I could think was that she had better stay in as long as possible. And then last week our house flooded a little bit - no real damage just a mess b/c we had to pull up the carpet to get it to dry. Thankful though that it's all cleaned up now.

Good luck to everybody!

I thought I'd pop in... I used to stalk this page pretty regularly as it would give me hope that Femara would work for me. I tried it about a year ago then went off it for other options and a short break TTC then started back again. I just wanted to share that my 3rd cycle of double the normal dose of Femara worked for me! I've gotten my and am expecting twins in June!
