Need some buddies :) - ltttc w/ success stories!

hi all! yes, H, i see the line! congrats! you must be very excited
i (we) are doing well - about 30.5 weeks cooked. i feel big and slow and out of breath frequently, but i've had a relatively easy pregnancy and shouldnt complain. i'm enjoying his kicks and rolls (it's a boy!), but it will be nice to breathe normally again and sleep not on my side.

Hey guys! I saw your post on Facebook so I thought id check here...hoping it meant you're pregnant. I see a VERY faint line! I'll be checking back to see it's progress.
Congrats to the babies born & Mirolee, congrats on being almost there! I'm so happy my buddies are finally getting what they have been praying for.

Yes. I don't want to post it on FB for awhile. I just got bloodwork done Wednesday and it came back inconclusive so my numbers are between 5-25. I got bloodwork done again yesterday and have to wait til Monday for the results and see if my numbers are going up as they should. I think it was just too early for the bloodwork to have higher numbers. I've been taking frer every morning and I'll post a pic of them all. They are getting darker which only means I should have higher hcg right? I hope so. Thanks guys!! Rachel, you're next! .

i just got off the phone with a nurse and my levels did go up. it was 61 on friday. so now i got to start my lovely progesterone suppositories I hate them but if it helps, im all for it. My progesterone was 13, she said its good, but wants me on them anyway. Must be on the edge of low/normal.

 

[Brayr08]

Woohoo!!! Congrats! Let's pray for a sticky bean!!!

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

thanks!! are you still trying rachel?

 

[Brayr08]

Not really. We aren't preventing it, but we aren't going out of our way to try either. I think we've just learned to accept that all we may ever be is an aunt/uncle. Which is still pretty awesome.

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

I wish you the best of luck rach. You really deserve it and hope it happens soon.

Heard the baby's heartbeat for the first time on Thursday. Measured 6w4d. Only a few days off.

omg i cant believe there has been sooo much going on ladies. Heather massive massive congrats, how are things progressing? Mirolee im sure your expecting your LO anytime soon now cant wait to hear the news. Rachel im glad your well and its so nice to hear from you.

little man is 6 months old now and just starting to sit up and roll over. He is a very talkative little chap but can be quite the handful at times. Me and the DH have decided not to go down the road of trying for any more. Doctors told me it would be highly unlikely we would conceive again as my egg count is very low now and quality is dwindling pretty quick so were just happy to have our little guy in our life.
I look back sometimes at the old posts and see how far each of us have all come, seems like yesterday we started the old thread.

hi!
my ticker says 10 days, so we'll see what that means. i've been fortunate to have had an "easy" pregnancy, but i'm not without ailments - LOTS of swelling, esp in my legs/ankle/feet. my hands have been numb for weeks. i've put on about 60lbs, but it's almost all water retention. my knees hurt from the sheer weight. and recently i've become very itchy - not PUPPs or anything (as i've been tested), just general skin sensitivity. so the countdown is on.... i'll be sad to not have my belly anymore, but we're excited to meet our little man!

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

i just miscarried.... again. I was suggested before trying again to see a reproductive endocrinologist for recurrent miscarriages. I just had my appt today. I have to have a saline infusion sonohysterography. He suspects a uterine abnormality. I pray he is right and it gets fixed and i am pregnant again asap and carry full term. Thank you all. Cant wait to see your little man Mirolee and isn't it amazing, Laura. Soo happy for all of you.

 

[laustiredttc]

Heather i am so so sorry for your loss I know that it will happen for you as you are an amazingly strong woman and i know that giving up just is not ever an option to you. i just want you to know that you are in my prayers and to keep staying strong as i know your so close to your wish becoming a reality. keep us posted with how you get on with everything xx

mirolee cant wait to meet your LO, hope you have a safe and smooth labour xx

 

[laustiredttc]

Hello ladies just checking in after what seems an age to see how you are all getting on? my little fella will be turning 1 next week, crazy!! how are you all do we have any more pregnancy news?

 

[HWPG]

hi all!
heather, i'm so sorry for your loss, and for replying so late to it. Alek arrived on July 28 and since then i've been busy (ha, understatement!). he's 5 months now, and has such a great personality - chatty, laughing, happy, sweet, active, demanding - but we could use more regular sleep! apparently, this is normal. i hope that you're able to find out what the underlying cause is and have it corrected so you can get your 3rd baby
wow, laus, one year! amazing!!!

 

[laustiredttc]

oh my goodness mirolee how time flies eh, congratulations on the birth of your son Alek you must be a very proud and happy mummy. yes its very tiring and i don't want to put a dampner on things but it gets even more tiring when they're on the go but its worth it isn't it. Every day i look and think i can't believe i created such a beautiful little human being. I have been told i will never have anymore children as the endometriosis has come back and is quite severe now. Only went back to doctors as i have been suffering bad with period pains and went to get checked out. it was sad but we had already resigned ourselves to having one so i guess that's just that. We have our liccle miracle man and were happy now.

Heather like Mirolee said i hope that you have gotten some answers and will get your wish soon, sending lots of prayers your way. I hope the rest of you ladies are well in your lives and hope to hear from you. lots of love laus
