%% OLDIES But GOODIES %%

I LOVE CHARLES TILLMAN!!!! He won the man of the year award, the day before the Super Bowl and he was crying on stage. He does so much for the community in Chicago. I was crying watching him. Awww..that's awesome!! It seems I love everything everyone posts, but you sure are lucky to get a picture with him.

ERose is going to be ecstatic when she sees that picture.

Oh, good luck with your doctor today. It's ok if you cry. This whole process has been trying...and finally, sorry for AF. I am sick of her showing up left and right around here.

It's hard when the dog is good. When the dog is bad, I can't get them back to the shelter fast enough. Our SPCA has an annual March For the Animals fundraiser, where everyone donates $ and they walk a mile around a lake in the city. I volunteer every year with hopes that I will see one or two fosters. I have never seen any of them, but there are a lot of dogs/people there. Maybe this year I'll see Roxy hobbling around the lake. hee hee. This was the best and only picture where she looked like herself. All of my dogs have had their picture taken on that reversible sun/moon blanket.

PS. The witch showed up today. The mystery is solved. At this point, taking Roxy back was worst than that *^(^&&*^ showing up. HA! Maybe fostering does have its benefits.

I love the doggie pic! She is adorable, looks like a dog we had when we were kids. She was a good doc, too. Sorry about AF. Bleh. It seems like I have been saying that a lot lately! We will get there ladies!

Ladies - getting ready to head to the dr... say a prayer I can make it through without crying my eyes out...


I am officially out for March...AF arrived through the night with a vengence...

this was an especially tough one as I tested after church - I did an OPK and PG test because as you know I was lost this cycle...well the PG test had a pink line - it must have been an evap - anyway... my daughter could see it as well as the DH... but when I retested 4 hours later - negative and this morning was confirmation...

I wish I hadn't said anything to anyone and just retested... I hate to get my husband's hopes up - since he has never had a child... I cried and cried on his shoulder and just kept apologizing...

now i have to go to the OB/GYN this morning and I am not feeling it at all... I really thought we were gonna have our miracle...

anyway... here is a picture of me standing next to a million dollars - my 5 seconds of fame... this is Charles Tillman of the Chicago Bears...

Nice pic!!!
I am hurt for you- it can be such a let-down when you see a line and then find out it wasn't meant to be. lady, and channel your energy into this appointment today. It can really impress on your doc how much you want this, and perhaps make them move faster! Anyway, I said a prayer for you....

Wish.....big Hopefully today the dr will be able to answer some of your questions and get you closer to your BFP.

 

[Wish4another1]

AFM: back from the OB/GYN - he looked over all my records before I got there... knew all my tests results from the FE... and sat down and just talked to me... He thinks I am ovulating (yes he was impressed with my LP knowledge and temping and OPKs) and he is willing to put me on clomid... he doesn't think I am menopausal at all...
here's the BUT - he wants my DH to have another SA and see the fertility urologist - since his last SA showed 0% Morph - the doc said no reason to make sure I am ovulating every month if my DH can't feritlize the egg -
so - the doc is scheduling my HSG and the hubby an appointment and SA with fertility urologist...
the doc said - 80% sure the clomid will work if we can get hubby to have some normal spermies...without IUI...since I have already carried two babies to term... and he said there are options for hubby too - maybe surgery if needed and clomid for him too... so still lots of options - we just can't be slow about it...

Hi Ladies,

Sorry AF showed for some of you, we could do with a big sprinkling of

I'm not sure were I'm at feel quite shut off from it all at the minute. Sure I will perk up at some point...I hope lol

We've been looking at fur baby's for a while now and think we may have made a decision on what sort we would like and would be suitable for us It will be another year before we get one but it is nice to look forward to it.

 

[Fezzle]

Wish- sorry the evap got your hopes up, but that sounds like a promising appointment with the OB/GYN! Sounds like you have some options so I hope the new plan works!

The meeting with the Americans was fun. I met some nice people and it sounds like there are some good events planned for the future, so I'll hopefully get to know them better. We went out on Sat night too with OH's friends and that was really fun. Yesterday we cooked the pork belly I got at the farmers market at work last week and it was so good!

Today I have my Day 21 blood test. I think it's pretty obvious from my chart what it will show! I'll have to call my Dr in a few days for the results and see what's next. I think she'll want to do another one next week in case I ovulate late.

 

[Sis4Us]

Wish that sounds like a great visit u finally have options that's always nice!!
FYI my hubby had to go to the Uroligist due to his varicocele he had to do a round of antibiotics to clear everything out and then the vitamins helped a ton!!

Make sure to ask Ur Dr about the P Clomid thins the lining and us oldies already have issues w that and your spotting can be a sign of that Also! GL

Smiles my Doppler should be here today or Tom!!!

 

[Smiles013]

Wish.....sounds like a good appt. At least now you have a path to travel.

Sis.....I've been using mine like crazy. Twice a day...once in the morning and again before bed time. I like to start and end my day hearing the heartbeat. Have you ever used a Doppler before?

 

[Sis4Us]

Nope this will be my 1st time for A lot of things I'm going to try and do everything I didn't get to do W the boys!!

I'm afraid I won't be able to find the and freak!!

 

[moni77]

sorry wish - glad your doc has a plan though.

AFM - temp this morning was 102!! so much for feeling better yesterday. I am on trial so had to go in and took cold meds all day. I am worried that I just killed any chance I had this cycle now. ugh.

 

[Smiles013]

Don't freak out if you can't hear it initially it might be too early to detect with the doppler. I think I was able to first hear it at about 8 weeks at home. Start checking for the heartbeat low and move slowly. Once you find it you'll know what spot to go back to each time.

 

[Sis4Us]

Yea I'm freaking I can't find it I'm sure it's just early but im still worried!!

How low is low I'm trying around my Cscar??

I'll keep trying hopefully I can figure it out soon!!

Moni try not to worry I had to take antibiotics and pain meds for my tooth and then got a Root canal 6dpo and still got my BFP!!
It will happen if it's meant to!! Hope u feel better!!

 

[terripeachy]

Moni-Yeah, I wouldn't worry either, but maybe you can call the doctor and find out if there is still a chance. That would at least let you know one way or the other.

Sis-I can't help you with locating the heart. Hopefully you'll be able to hear it soon.

AFM-Great news (and maybe not such great news)!!! Roxy gets to come back for one more week! She had her mass in her back/shoulder removed, and they have sent it out for biopsy. It'll be 2-14 days until they get the results and they asked if I wanted to keep her until the results get here!! They said she's probably happier here than at the shelter. Yay! I am so excited. Kyle is thinking that I'm going to be sad on Saturday when I take her back, but oh well. I'll be sad to give her back (again!), but i'll be happy to have her for a few more days! I rushed to get her clean blanket out, dog bowls, and put her crate together. I'll pick her up after work tomorrow. I hope she's happy to see me!

 

[Smiles013]

Sis....I've never had a c-section so I'm not sure where that scar would be buuuut.....try placing it at the very top of your vaginal area right where the bone meets the fleshy part and move slowly from side to side then if need be move up very little and side to side again. If all else fails Google "finding a deal heartbeat with a Doppler at 7 weeks" and I'm sure a link to a YouTube video or something will come up. It took me a while to find it initially as well even though I had used then years ago with my other two.

Terri....awwwwww, glad you get Roxy back and I'm sure she'll be ecstatic to see you!

 

[Smiles013]

Moni....hope you feel better.

 

[garfie]

Sis - I would say well below your c-section scar on the end - I found mine on the rh side (oh damn its hard to describe but deff below your scar)

Terri - of course she will have missed you - we all miss you when you are

AFM - She got me on Sunday - but I got to a 28 day cycle so acu must be helping

Will try and catch up properly later.

[terripeachy]

garfie-Thanks, love! hee hee. That's awesome that you had a 28 day cycle. Woohoo!! Things are definitely improving for you. I hope this next cycle is it! Do you guys have daylight savings time? We just turned our clocks forward one hour on Sunday, so everyone has been super sleepy in the morning. Yesterday I was happy that I didn't have Roxy because I could sleep in. Today, you'd think that it was my birthday. I jumped out of bed with excitement knowing she's coming back today. It's the little things!

 

[kfs1]

Awww - that's great news, Terri! I'm sure Roxy will be very excited. And yes, losing that one little hour killed me yesterday.

So, since summer is looming and I feel like a blob, I joined weight watchers today and am getting my butt into gear. I feel motivated BUT at the same time bummed out. I feel like my obsession with TTC has made me neglect other areas of my life.

 

[Sis4Us]

Terri yay more time w Roxy!!

I tried all nite trying to find the HB no luck I'll try again in a Bit maybe if I'm here alone I can hear it better!!
They keep telling me baby Is in the middle so I'm thinking maybe behind my pelvic bone but I'm also early so I'll keep trying!!
Smiles is it easier Laying down or sitting up??

Kfs1 I hear ya on the weight loss I gained and now I'm going to gain even more Im going to be a whale by end of Summer
I've actually lost 8 lbs since my BFP and I'm sure I'll lose more b4 I gain since I have NO Appettite !!

Hope everyone has a great day!!
