Having a cruddy day...emotionally, that is. Life itself is fine. Now that my body seems to be on track for healing I've mostly been feeling better emotionally. But then last night it really hit me that I should be pregnant -- that my 20 week scan should be coming shortly in the New Year. I should be feeling my baby kicking inside of me.

It makes me mad that the baby is not there and that it could be forever before I get pregnant again and even then I could lose that one too. There's no guarantees. And then I get mad that I'm evening thinking this way. I really don't mean to dwell on the negative but I can't always stop the horrible thoughts.

I know those thoughts. Even though I am a few weeks pregnant now, I still think about the baby I lost and where I would be if I had kept that baby. I don't think it is bad to dwell on the negative as your feelings are valid. This is no easy journey for any of us!!!

mamaTex- dont you have an appointment today? Good luck!

Hi all

I'm baaaaack! DH and I got back from our hunniversary on Monday. I missed talking with you guys, but I'm back now. I haven't had a time to read through all the posts so I'm not caught up on what's been happening with everyone, but I wanted to do a real quick post right now:

Sweetz: I haven't reall all the posts so I'm not sure of all the details, but having a sucky doc is the worst! Especially during this time, when you're already nervous about your rainbow baby. I hope you find another doc too, it's so important to have a doc that you can talk to, and that understands you. Let us know what happens.

lpj: LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the scan pics! I was definitely swooning!! Looks like you already have a little character on your hands!

Starry Night: I totally understand where you are coming from. I still think about my angel baby, wondering how old he would be, what would he look like, what kind of personality he would have, etc. Know that you're among a unique set of women who understand the pain you're feeling

Runnergrl: Congratulations!!!!! I'm soo happy that your numbers are doubling!!! I concur with Never - grow baby grow
I think you and I can be preggo buddies........

AFM: That's right, I think the hubby and I were successfully with all of our hunniversary I've been feeling crummy since comming back from our trip - nausea, fatigue, sore nipples (sorry TMI), but I didn't know if it was still my body regulating itself after stopping BC, or if I could be pregnant. Sooooo, I took a test this morning, two tests actually, and both were !!!
I'm soooo happy and nervous, scared and excited! I'm actually about to head to the doctors to confirm with a blood test, and a scan. So hopefully all is well. But I was just so excited, I had to share with you ladies, and I'll keep you updated on what the doc says. If I can, I'll upload pics of my

 

[MamaTex]

lpjkp: Great pics! Thanks for sharing! He is coming along splendidly

Pinkcasi: Good luck with quitting smoking too!! I like your Holiday plans. Enjoy yourself!! I think it is important to take time for yourself and live life, because it is really easy to make life all about TTC. Hopefully taking some of that pressure off will make things more enjoyable. My DH and I got into a few fights becaus I felt he wasn't on the same page as I was about TTC

nevergiving up: Hope the rest of your day goes well!!! In regards to the ultra sound, perhaps there are some low cost ones that can be performed by students at a local medical school or academy. That is something offered in my city. It is not done with the most up to date equipment, but it allows you to have an ultra sound.

ESwemba84: Sorry to hear about the cramps. Good luck with everything!!

runnergrl:Woo hoo!!! And yes, I had an apointment today....

I had my blood drawn to get my betas for HCG and progesterone!! I was happy that I did not have to use choice words with my OB about testing for the progesterone. I was told earlier this week that I could get an ultra sound but the OB told me he did not want to do an ultra sound until it was confirmed that the pregnancy was going to continue. He said that by next Friday, when he does the ultra sound, there should be something there if I am 5 weeks now. I tried to remind them at that office that I might have ovulated late, but they appear to be sticking to their assessment based on my LMP.

My boobs are a little sore as of yesterday evening, but that could just be a response to the cold. Emotionally I am feeling better, but I am not going to get excited about this pregnancy just yet because I don't want to be let down again. I have only told one friend so far about the pregnancy, just so I can have someone to talk to. I won't tell my parents until it's confirmed that the baby has grown. I don't like feeling morbid about the pregnancy, but I am trying to prepare mysel for news that things aren't progressing. My OB had that tone in his voice, which makes me worry. Only thing I can do now is wait...

I was told Monday but I don't think I can wait that long. I will call the office tomorrow to see if they have the lab results back tomorrow. If they do, I will just drive up there to get a report of what my numbers are like I did last time! Thanks for the positive thoughts

Hi MamaTex, Thanks for the Congrats. I hope all goes well with your test. Don't let the doctor get you down, I think they are trained to focus on the worst case scenario. But I definitely understand your cautiousness. I've told DH, but I'm not ready to share the news with anyone else until I make it to my second trimester - if I make it there.

 

[runnergrl]

They should have the results by tomorrow, mamatex. And why won't they tell you over the phone?

 

[MamaTex]

Well, last time I was told I had to wait for the nurse to receive the reviewed notes from the doctor to receive my results over the phone. The day after I tested, the doctor still had not reviewed my results and they would not give them to me over the phone so I had to go up there to get them printed out. I take it I will have to do this tomorrow as well.

 

[runnergrl]

Well that's annoying!! I'm sorry. Will be worth it though to get those great numbers!! What were your first results? Forgive me, I don't remember:doh:

 

[ESwemba84]

I did it. Lol, I finally broke down in public. Fortunately my friend was there and I was able to talk to her. I feel less stressed now, but still hate not knowing anything about what's going on with my body. After checking my cervix, and combined with the EWCM, looks like I'm ovulating early. Ugh.

 

[MamaTex]

My number as of last Friday was 130 for HCG. I did not get my progesterone levels tested like I asked the first time, so no progesterone level number.

Not knowing is the toughest thing to go through. I am glad you had your friend there for you!!! We are here for you too!!! That body will get itself together. I just wish it to be sooner than later for you!!

 

[Starry Night]

Thanks, ladies. I feel much better getting all that off of my chest.

MamaTex - hope you get great results back from your tests. Glad they tested your progesterone for you. I never get results over the phone either so I get the frustration in having to wait.

ESwemba - aw, I'm so sorry you had that breakdown. But a person can only handle so much before some release is needed. I'm glad your friend was there when it happened. I really hope that your body sorts itself out soon.

Tybabydreams - congrats! Have a happy and healthy pregnancy.

 

[mackjess]

Wow lots of catching up to do! Work was crazy today then we had the work Xmas party right after.

Sorry for all the ladies having a tough time today. It is such an emotional roller coaster, but will so be worth it when we get to hold our new babies.

Congrats on the new BFPs and the new beta results! Numbers are looking great ladies!!

 

[Sweetz33]

Splitting headache so I will catch up on everyone's news tomorrow when my head is not booming...just wanted to let y'all know I fired my OB...kicked them to the curb. DH supports me fully and he is just as mad at them. They called my nutritionist wrong (she has been a licensed nutritionist/dietician for over 50 years) and said there is no need to check my blood anymore and just eat every 2 hours. ALL SET! This is not just me...but my baby....and I have become aware that they don't care about either.

 

[ESwemba84]

Sweetz: I'm glad you did that. I'm not even a doctor and I know that your sugar is high. Some people believe that whatever their doctor says must be right, so they don't challenge it, and their minor thing becomes a big issue. That's the reason I just switched gyns, because they looked at me like "why are you even here?" when I had legitimate concerns. My doctor even asked if the constant pain was not normal for me in a very condescending tone. No, I'm in here because I like the stirrups and showing you my lady parts every month.

AFM, temps are still low this morning, so no ovulation yet, but still getting EWCM. So we started trying last night. Hubby said he feels like he's getting sick, and I told him he wasn't allowed, because this is my fertile period, and being sick doesn't fit into my plans. Off to start my morning.
