MAY we all be blessed with baby! May 2013 and beyond (BFFs Seeking BFPs)

Heres what her face looked like this morning, 3 days later. Apparently, they will also be fined $600 for not having the dog up to date on shots. The hospital has my step daughter on antibiotics, just in case.

pretty sure (don't know your state) but in most states the health dept HAS to do something, because the dog has to be quarantined for 10 days, to make sure it's not carrying rabies. some states have some serious rules about it, like locking the dog in a cage inside of ANOTHER cage, for like a month. (i used to be a vet tech) so it's very serious. And they could be sued pretty bad and lose their house if you guys wanted to do something like that to them. they are being really stupid not having the rabies up to date if none of the others.

There have been a lot of cases in the us lately of rabies, so health dept. are getting pretty involved in bite cases.

i have a strictly indoor cat. he will ALWAYS have rabies vaccines (and his others) because if someone comes in my house and claims he bites them (some places you don't even have to show puncture wounds, just say you were bitten) they can take your pets and have them put down. So to protect my pet too he will always be up to date.

you hear so many sad stories about people who lose their pets because of nasty neighbors that don't like their dogs, and make false reports. knew a lady who lost 3. AND they had their vaccines.

But on the other side, there are too many people that don't care for their pets the way they need to, and then things like this happen. an absolute shame is what it is. i'm so sorry.

They are fortunate that this happened to family and not someone else...my husbands exwife, my step daughters mom, may sue them or something of that nature. But we just want the dog gone. Its sad that this happened. and they wont own up to the fact that they did this...their lack of training and correction led to this. They wont take responsibility. Im not sure if their insurance will cover her hospital visit if it is billed as a dog bite. They may make them pay for the expenses.

so sad my niece was bit in the face by her grandmother's dog a week before her first birthday. pitbull came over, grabbed her by the head and started to carry her around. missed her eye by a half inch. Dog probably was just trying to play however it's bitten before.

however in this case, the mother and father KNEW the dog was iffy, they were on the couch watching, and let the dog play with their infant. in that case, parents fault totally.
dog isn't allowed near the kid now but they did keep it.

Hopeful: Thank you so much for the awesome questions! I asked most of them, and my doctor seemed to really listen to my concerns.

Here's the plan going forward:

1. Do blood work again, just to make sure everything's good.

2. When I start my period next cycle, we will try a low dose fertility pill (I believe he said Femara).

3. Since my husband has issues "finishing" sometimes, we will do an in-office insemination. I already told my husband about it, and he's willing to try.

4. This cycle is same as usual, except for the blood work. I will be continuing the Chulie Method, and hopefully it works before we have to do any of this other stuff. Please, God? Pretty please!!!

Basically, my doctor thinks it is mostly a male factor of why we aren't pregnant. The endometriosis we will pursue if needed, but with my Cesearean in 2007, he says he saw no sign of it. I hate that my husband will be dragged more into this TTC mess, but he's very supportive and loves me! Fingers crossed, legs crossed (or open I should say), eyelashes crossed...I've got everything crossed!

@momwithbabies: so glad to hear your doctor listened to all of your concerns and seems to have a good plan going forward!

 

[magicwhisper]

well good luck i am glad your doctor listened to you

 

[Lazydaisys]

Hopeful- just noticed that you are waiting to hear from mrs doddy. I was talking to her on another thread and she got her bfp two or three weeks ago. I hope she doesn't mind me saying, but I don't think she would mind. :- x

 

[mommyxofxone]

got me.

 

[Hopeful2014]

@KatyW I sometimes do need to remind myself that it can take a while and that nothing may be wrong.

@MamaPeaches I'm sorry the witch came. I totally understand wanting to move on though when your cycle gets longer than usual. I updated your date. You'll have to let us know what you think of the soy and the things your midwife has suggested. Good luck!

@ClandestineTX I'm glad it's working for you. I know it must be strange not to temp when first waking, but it's got to be somewhat of a relief as well.

@burgbrandy I'd say the best possibility is between cd 10-cd 12 as of now. You had a big rise last month after ovulation, but that doesn't mean it would be the same this month. I thought cd 10 was possible because of the ewcm and the first positive test and the higher temp the next day. However, it could be cd 12 because it's another rise and it's the last day of fertile cm. Like ClandestineTX and you said, I'd continue to bd just in case. Happy anniversary btw!!

@momwithbabies I'm so glad your doctor and your husband are being very supportive! I know you will get those pink lines soon!! I hope they come this month before you have to do any of that as well! It's always great to have a plan in place though. Good luck!

@Lazydaisys Awesome news about Mrs Doddy! I will look it up and add her BFP! Thanks for letting me know. I try to look people up occasionally just to see if they have posted their news somewhere else because I like to keep it updated!

@mommyxofxone I'm sorry. Do something nice for yourself, relax a bit, and prepare for next cycle. My fingers are crossed for your BFP!

AFM Well, I had a very interesting day. We planned a big day with our niece. All was going nicely until the air conditioning stopped putting out cold air. It was EXTREMELY warm and we were about 30-40 minutes from home and about 20-25 minutes from our destination. I'm in the backseat fanning her with a magazine, playing, and entertaining. Everyone else is fine. I'm feeling very warm and end up vomiting in the car before we can pull off the main roadway. Heat exhaustion at its finest, I guess. I do not get sick like that often, but I cannot stop it when I do. We pull over and she exits the vehicle with my husband to get me a super dorky shirt while I repeatedly tell her not to look at me. Trust me-it's not the way you want to see anyone and not a lasting image I want her to have. Can it get worse? Yes, finding nothing else to use in the car I pull out a feminine product and use it to clean before they get back. Husband and niece return with said dorky shirt and a mixture of wet and dry paper towels. I definitely feel much better by this point and we go on our way to our destination. Husband then buys a new pair of jeans at a shop while we wait in the restroom. I finally emerge in a new outfit, feeling somewhat better, and we spend the rest of the day enjoying ourselves. Okay, I did still feel a little queasy and a bit unlike myself, but it all worked out. We all soldiered on and I've made a decision. I suggest it to you all as well. I'm going to carry a plastic bag with me on all car trips from here on. I usually have something, but I will be certain from here on!

 

[burgbrandy]

Another temp rise this morning...tcoyf is saying cd 12, ovuview says cd 10, ff and ovufriend havent picked up o yet, and countdowntopregnancy says cd 11 based only on opks. So frustrated! Lol! Im still planning on testing july 31st either way, i just like to know what day af is going to show!

FF puts o at cd 12 if i add a fake temp for tomorrow. I think im just gonna stick with cd 12 and go from there.

 

[ProfWife]

It took a full week after ov for the big three to sync up on my cycle. Eventually everyone agreed on CD 13.

Hang in there.

AFM, no need to test. Temp dramatically dropped to cover line on cue. Yesterday's high was due to me being sick. Just praying AF starts early today so I can schedule the follow up HSG before the weekend hits.

Next testing date looks like August 17.

I'll wait to update until af is for sure there. If so, I hope you do get it early so you can get your appointment asap.

 

[momwithbabies]

Hopeful: That really sucks! Vomiting is the worst!!! I'm glad you managed to still have a somewhat good day with your niece. I agree with you on the plastic bags. You just never know. I always keep plastic bags, Wet Ones, and napkins or paper towels. I hope you get the air conditioning fixed quick and feel better soon.

[gabbygabz]

Oh hopeful that's the worst but I am taking your advice and popping a plastic bag in my purse for sure!

 

[burgbrandy]

Update on the dog bite situation...i called the dog warden and was told the hospital only contacts the health dept so they have no record of the bite. So now i have until noon to go out there to fill out a statement. Ugh! Hopefully they will do something today!

 

[mommyxofxone]

seriously? call the health dept your self and tell them too!

 

[burgbrandy]

Just talked to health dept. They had been notified by the hospital. They sent out a letter to them yesterday to make them quarantine the dog for 10 days and then they must provide proof from a vet of rabies vaccination. The dog warden told me that they will come out hopefully today and deem the dog dangerous and they will have 10 days to contest. If they contest, we will be in court. If not, they will either put it down or take it away.
