aw Milos
You may deserve better, but I think you're also just dealing with the depression right now and should address that first. Are you on medication for it or anything?
I don't have a rocky relationship at ALL and I still have the same depressed feelings you mention about not wanting to do anything, just eat and sleep etc. It doesn't help you any to have those additional issues, but sometimes the depression makes minor things seem major (being cheated on and trust are major issues, not trying to minimize them, just saying that its hard to have a good perspective while you're depressed).

I started my antidepressants over a week ago and can't wait for them to kick in.

Lisa- what are you on? I started mine 1 week after birth, and thank god i did, they have been a life saver. Within like 3 days i felt way better and I'm only taking 5mg of lexapro which is the absolute lowest dose. Just that little bit has done the job. I have wellbutrin too but I'm waiting to start that once im 3/4 months postpartum if needed because they make me have no appetite and i need to eat now.

I'm on zoloft... a low dose I think. My doc said it would take about 3 weeks to start working. I wish I had started it sooner but I really didn't know for sure that it was depression since the baby blues are normal for 2-3 weeks and I also have my sleep disorder which makes me tired.

PLEASE DO NOT PUT THIS ON FACEBOOK

I had a pre-op today for my scheduled tubal ligation on July 12. It's been schedule for about two weeks now, despite the surrogacy thing, only because Mike wants me to have it. Anyway, I can't have it anymore.

Part of the pre-op is doing a pregnancy test. They had me pee on a stick.

So, blood work was done immediately and there was a rush put on it because tomorrow is a holiday.

My levels came back at 342 and they said it's too high for it to be left over from Anberlin.

I AM PANICKING

A BIT? How about A LOT! This just makes me question even more if A is my husband's, you know? OH MY GOODNESS.

So, obviously, because I have no idea when I'm due, I have an ultrasound scheduled for Wednesday.

 

[Soph22]

Wow Brandi!
that is crazy! Had you gotten af back yet?
good reminder to us all that it is possible.
best of luck

 

[BrandiCanucks]

No, not yet, but in my postpartum history, I got it back at 7 weeks with Zoe (Forula fed), 8 weeks with Isaiah (EBF) so I was kind of expecting it to show up soon. I've had the cramps and everything, and I did about two weeks ago. Only once since I had her though!

I'll let you all know how Wednesday goes.

 

[luckyme225]

Good luck Wednesday.

 

[BrandiCanucks]

I picked up a stick on my way home today...Someone tell me I'm seeing things. Please?

 

[24/7]

I see it....
Are you ok brandi? xx

 

[BrandiCanucks]

I will be, lol, once I wrap my head around it all.

Having 3 under 4 is chaos. I'm not sure I'm ready for 4 under 5.

 

[24/7]

No TTC 2012 for you now then.
Congratulations!! xx

 

[mummy3]

Congrats Brandi! Seems your hubbys vasectomy didnt work! Do you think Anberlin is his afterall? Hope your both ok 4 is not too bad, not too much different than 3

 

[MilosMommy7]

brandi- wow! i'd try saying not to trust a bluedye. but thats no evap.

 

[BrandiCanucks]

I hope so, mummy. But at the same time, biological or not, she IS his. They absolutely adore each other and you'd never know either way with the bond they have.

 

[MilosMommy7]

lisa - i was on prozac for 5 weeks. they had me start taking them a few hours after i had her. since i had PPD after milo they wanted me to start right away taking meds. those made my suicidal thoughts go through the roof! so i told my doc and i stopped taking them. the thoughts of wanting to be dead has diminished a lot since then. but i just dont feel comfortable taking anti-depressants anymore.

brandi - good luck! what does your hubby think of this?

 

[Wiggler]

OMG Brandi! Congrats! Hope you're OK hun, good luck Wednesday
