I really don't know what the issue is. She was suppose to go to my doctor (the best fertility specialist in town) if she wasn't pregnant soon but they told me they put TTC on hold so I really don't know what their thinking is. I know they are not going a traditional route as far as how they are getting it because they are going through a private agency so once they pass all the screenings I think it will go quicker. It would be just their luck that she will get pregnant now that they have decided to adopt. But she wouldn't even read taking charge of your fertility when I offered it to her and her doctor is a complete idiot who just put her on fertility meds because that's all she knows to do.

Wow! I would be scared of a dr who put me on meds without other options. I wonder if I can download that book on my kindle. I have heard good things about it.

 

[sherylb]

I loved that book. I wish she would have at least been open minded about reading it. I got it for cheap online.

And yeah, I was floored when I heard her come back from her first fertility appointment and her doctor said she has been timing wrong for 3 years. That's when she put her on fertility meds and told her if she wasn't pregnant in another 6 months she would refer her to my doctor (who doesn't need a referral.) This was 7 or 8 months after she told her to try naturally for a while and then they will start figuring out what is wrong.

Hi, everybody!!

 

[sherylb]

Good afternoon!

I am getting really worried about having my niece for an overnight stay. She has never stayed with us so I am trying to work out her scheduled activities and dinner and breakfast. So strange when it's not your day to day activities.

 

[tl682]

Sheryl, I think it will be fun!! Take her to a movie.

So, Elliot and Liz, have either of you had this feeling in your uterus like you just went down a slight drop on a roller coaster?? I have started having that over the last couple of days. I also have been having a lot of pain, mostly on my lower right side, mainly when I cough or get up and start walking. It's like something's inflammed or sore, and it's very painful.

 

[sherylb]

We aren't going to have time for a movie on a school night. She has to practice piano at MILs and she has gymnastics. By the time we get home and have dinner it will be time for homework, reading, shower and bed.

 

[tl682]

When is she coming??

 

[sherylb]

I am picking her up from school tomorrow. I am not sure whether she will have piano practice. It depends on how her lesson with MIL today goes. She has gymnastics from 5-6 though so I am planning on making a pot roast for dinner so it will be ready when we are.

So phew this soy Iso is really kicking my body into over drive.

First, I am all flushed and hot like I am ovulating, which keeps scaring me. I know its normal, but I keep thinking "CRAP! I missed Ov!" haha.

We still have not had sex since my shoulder thing. So we are going on 3 weeks! Really need to get going so I don't waste this soy Iso on a bunch of old

But I don't thing that will be a problem because the Soy seems to be kicking other stuff into over drive

Even though the Dr didn't say anything about sex (Probably awkward) I have been limited on my activities. He said NO exercise besides walking, no mopping or vacuuming, no lifting (even if its not that heavy), don't do anything where my hands are over my head for extended periods of time and to try and keep my legs above hip level when sitting as much as possible. So needless to say DH and I both kind of put sex in that no no category

But I have been cleared for moderate activities. I actually think he wants me to to see if anything pops out of place.

 

[tl682]

Well, sex can keep your legs above your hips, too

 

[Heather9603]

Well, sex can keep your legs above your hips, too

HAHAHAHA! Good point!

I guess we will just have to see how it goes. If all else fails and I can lay there and not be shoved around too much haha.

And all this just reminds me that if I'm dying after 3 weeks, how am I going to do SIX weeks after birth!? lol.

 

[liz_legend]

I'm pretty sure after birthing a child, you won't want him touching you for at least a month
I've been told by many women that you get your period/bleed for about 4 weeks!

 

[liz_legend]

TL, I think that's uterus "stretching" pain. I used to get sharp stabbing pain when I would sit up suddenly or get out of the car for a few weeks...

 

[sherylb]

Oh my goodness. I made this awesome thin-crust pesto, spinach and chicken pizza for dinner. I ended up making a second pizza without chicken because I used it all when I thought I was only making one pizza and that was just as good. :-D

 

[tl682]

So, DH just told his boss that we're expecting, and he found out that there's no paternity leave at his company!! He can only use his vacation days for it!! Is this even legal??

 

[sherylb]

Yeah. Paternity leave isn't mandatory. My mom is coming to stay with us for a week in November b/c we aren't sure what DH will have at his new job.

 

[Heather9603]

Yeah they don't have to honor paternity leave. Technically though, by law they should let him take a leave, but it would be an unpaid leave.

 

[tl682]

They told him that he gets nothing, not even unpaid leave. I thought under the fmla he gets up to 12 weeks.

 

[Heather9603]

They told him that he gets nothing, not even unpaid leave. I thought under the fmla he gets up to 12 weeks.

Hmm, I'd have him check. Is he with a private company or a corporate company?

I know DH gets 6 weeks paid, and an additional 6 weeks unpaid if he desires. But he works for Target. The bigger the company the better the benefits.
