Newlyweds TTC

[Freebird]

Just wanted to update. My C Section has been planned for Dec. 31st! IT has been a pretty rough pregnancy, filled with morning - all day - sickness - as well as having my DH in Detox two separate times. I think he's now on track now, and I'm now on Zoloft, and the end is finally in sight, which is a very good thing! I can't wait to meet my little Addie Grace (Addison Grace)

Hello Freebird, sounds like you've had a busy time, i hope this last few weeks are chilled for you!

Lucie, hope your feeling happier today xxxx

How's everyone else? AFM SNOW DAY!!!!! so yr 13 marking here i come!

Lucie - Sending you and DH heeps and heeps of positive vibes! xx

Bethaney and Delly - How are you settling in with the littlens?

Everthing has settled down with me. No more bleeding or brown stuff. I was back at work yesturday. I have 4.5 weeks left at work!
I saw my brother and his wife at the weekend. It was the first time I have seen my SIL since I announced I was preggers. She said there is no way I am going to make it to my due date! - Im hoping she is wrong! She is a Dr, a consultant, but I still hope she is wrong! I am willing Baby H to stay put until at least 28/12/2010 because I would of had time to go to the NEXT and M&S sales!!! LOL!!

Here is my latest bump picture, taken last night @ 33+3 weeks pregnant.

AFM- just feeling crap at mo. Got pains all over(mainly my back and left knee though) and hubby is being an arse with drinking

Nothing to say on TTC front

Wow....it's really quiet in here....

I'm doing well. Been really busy the last few weeks. Work has been keeping me busy. Also I found out that I will be getting a student teacher in January. I'm excited, but also nervous.

I need your opinions please. On the TTC front, I am torn between a few options.
1. I can wait until after dh's apt in February to see my dr. and ask her what the next step would be. I'm pretty sure all my dr can do for me now is prescribe more clomid.
2. I can make an apt with one of the two fertility dr's in town for before dh's apt. The main drawback to this is that we will be paying for this out of pocket.

What would you lovely ladies do? I look forward to hearing your advice.

I hope everyone is doing well!

 

[lizlemon]

Right, I feel so strongly about this I have logged on at work. I think you MUST see the other Doctors before. As we have waited for our GP and he is lovely but has no idea at all about fertility issues and so feel we wasted time when we could have gone straight to someone who knows what they are doing!!

FX that his swimmers do the job naturally before you need to see anyone

 

[starcrossed]

Lucie-I'd go and have a consult at fertility clinic but not commit to anything until you get DH's results, but it would be good to discuss the different options so you know where you stand whatever the results of DH's tests.

It may be armed with this new info you can get your own dr to follow that path of treatment when the time comes.


Hope everyone else is well!!
I'm sorry I havent checked in so much I been run off my feet with Iwan. He is absolutly gorgeous and worth all the trouble i have had!
He sleeps through the night and only wakes up once for a feed
Sadly tho because I have been so anaemic I havent had any breast milk so have been unable to breast feed, saying that Iwan is doing well on the formula and putting weight on beautifully
I'm plugging away at the breast pump in the hope when my iron comes up from jabs that some milk may come in and Iwan can have a nibble

For those not in UK it has been FREEEZING and snow is down, brrr!!! (v unusual for this time of year) Its been a real pest not being able to drive and been sooo cold to go walking around with the pram so been stuck in the house a fair bit, but it sure beats hospital!!!

Anyway hope you are all ok!!!

Lots of to everyone TTC

and happy pregancy to the bumped up ones!

sleep to Betheney

Hi ladies!

Great news! (no not a BFP ). The bill for dh's surgery came yesterday....and it was only for $225, not the $4000 plus we were expecting! I don't know what happened, but I'm not complaining! It's such a weight of our shoulders!

Hope everyone is doing well!

 

[lizlemon]

that is great news lucie!!!! xxx

 

[lolley]

Hi Ladies,

sorry i have not been on too much lately, i haave been really busy with a uni assignment, but im back now

Hope you are all well

Lucie fab news about the bill and have you decided what your doing next, i would be tempted to see the specialist

 

[lizlemon]

Hi Lolley - when's your scan? Looking forward to the pics, cant believe your 12 weeks already!!!!

Two things: Last sat went to private drs, they reassessed DH swimmers, think IUI is possible not IVF, v positive about it, which is fab. I have scan over next week to ensure that I have a nornal uterus and follicles and my tubes are not blocked, v exctied!

Now for the moan - xmas cards....just opened 2 one with a baby photo ans one annoucing baby no2. REALLY for F sake bog off!!!! I used to look forward to cards now a mine field. Dont get me wrong I am happy for them but PLEASE not in my face!!! I dont mind baby stuff on this website as I choose to read it not just have it pop out at me!!!! That said I conceed if i was not ttc i would not mind in the slightest about the cards. GRRRR Santa bring ME a baby!!!!

love to all!

 

[lolley]

Hi Liz,

my scan was today
piccy in my journal.

good luck with the appointments and scan, let us know how you get on

 

[Lucie73821]

Liz, that's good news they think IUI is a possibility.

Lolley, I've posted in your journal.

As for me, I've decided to wait to see my dr. before going to the specialist. I really want to wait and her dh's results before rushing into anything. I tried to make an apt for our next teacher work day, but wasn't able to get an apt until Feb 21. I it seems ages away, but dh will probably go for his repeat SA in early Feb, then we will prob have a week or so wait for the follow up appt with the urologist, so my apt will probably be right around the same time. So at least I've got a date set.

Tomorrow I am meeting my student teacher for the first time. I'm very excited, and nervous too. And then Friday after school dh and I are driving to his parent's house in Wisconsin. It's about a 26 hour trip. We are driving up with three other people from our school, so it should be fun, but I am NOT looking forward to being in a car that long. Oh well, I will be on Winter break then!

Hope everyone is doing well!!!

 

[lizlemon]

First scan down - I have lots of lovely follicles which is fab. Thursday is looking at my tubes, fingers crossed that they are ok and DH sperm test on wed goes well - it is to see if they can be prepared for IUI -I am excited and hope it works out so we can start Jan!!!!

Hope everyone is OK, it is very quiet on this link at the mo!!!! xxx

 

[lolley]

yay for follicles

lots of luck for the rest of the tests this week

 

[Lucie73821]

Liz- glad your scan went well. I hope the other tests this week go well too.

Lolley- how are ya doing? .

As for me, we drove to dh's parent's house in Wisconsin last Friday. It took around 26 hours. We are staying here until Christmas Day, then we are doing the 10 hour drive to my dad's house. We will leave for Florida on the 30th. I've found that since I've had nothing to do since we've been here (although I did read 3 books in the past 3 days-The Hunger Games Trilogy) I've had a lot of time to sit and feel sorry for myself. . I know that isn't the best attitude, but I really thought that we'd either have a baby by now, or at least one on the way. Thursday I will see dh's aunt-the one who sent the catholic fertility books-and I really hope it doesn't become a topic of conversation.

I hope everyone is doing well!

 

[lizlemon]

Hi Lucie, know those exact feelings last christmas we were "we will have a baby in a years time" but thats not happened - BUT for both of us things are now happening, your dh has had his op, and those swimmers will be a swimming soon to met the eggy!! 2011 is going to be OUR year and we can be bump buddies together!!!!
I too have read one book in one day and am on the prowl for another one. I hope the catholic aunt gives it a rest for you, if she does approach it which she should not as it is not poliet, maybe say "i do not want to talk about it as it hurts too much, but if you want to pray for us then that would be great" this way you get left alone, she feels usefull - everyone's a winner.
to you Lucie x

 

[lolley]

just sending massive hugs to both of you

bring on 2011 bfps
