x

 

[carlywarly]

I'm doing ok ta hun Guess I have just got used to it now....darent get excited at all anymore for this reason. How are you doing? x

 

[BabeAwait]

Hey Carly and Sarah

I've missed you both. I hope all is well! I finally feel ready to return to BnB again

 

[carlywarly]

Hiiiiii Michelle

It's great to see you back hun!! How have you been? I hope you're feeling ok and that everything is going good for you and dh? We missed you of course xx

Sarah, that avatar is awesome!!! How are you doing? xx

 

[sarahuk]

Michelle I am so happy that you have found the strength to come back. I did the same as you and took some out time. Coming back is also a part of the healing process so big hugs to you.

Awww Carly It will happen I know it will. I know that doesnt make it any easier getting to the bfp but I truly believe BOTH of you beautiful wonderful ladies will be blessed really soon.

Im doing ok...I may be faced with the "more children or medical care" scenario. My GP thought I had fibromayalgia and referred me to rhematology at the hospital but seems they think its psoriatic arthritis and if there is any sign of joint damage Ill need to start meds to stop the disease and they are not ttc friendly

xx

 

[carlywarly]

Oh no Sarah!!! That's not great...I mean it's great they may have diagnosed you, but not great about the meds n stuff Sugar, what a toughie!! Are the meds going to be life long if that's what's needed? Obviously your health has to come first, but would be so disappointing if you ever do want another in the future. Do you have to go for a scan or something to check joint damage? xx

 

[BabeAwait]

So glad to see you both again! I truly missed both of you

I'm doing decent. I have a big drs appt coming up on tuesday that I'm nervous for. Fx that I will get help asap with my pcos and luteal phase defect. My first cycle post mc I actually O'd sooner and my lp lengthened so that was good news. I think my body is gearing up to O again which would be even earlier but I'm not counting on it.

Sarah I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia when I was 17. They were having a really hard time finding a diagnosis so I've always questioned if it was just a waste basket diagnosis. Best of luck getting treatment I've been through it myself. Unfortunately I spent a few years in and out of hospitals and eventually had to figure out how to manage the pain myself. I honestly hope that isn't the case for you. Hopefully they'll find a magic solution for you.

Carly how are things for you? Have you found a good donor?

 

[carlywarly]

Awh good luck for Tues Michelle!! I spy a positive opk??! Wow this has got to be a good thing at this point in your cycle? Maybe something you are already doing has impacted already? Keeping everything crossed for you hunny xx

Yes we have a new donor thanks hun This will be cycle 3 already though, and altogether it's been a year of trying Wondering if we're ever going to make Isaac become a big brother!! :/ xx

Thanks honey. Yup...had all the first stage tests done and xrays, got the mri still left to go then back for the official diagnosis. I was originally told at 17 I had rheumatoid arthritis so I suppose I should know how this feels since that diagnosis might have been wrong! x

Awww we missed you too!

Im so sorry to hear about your journey to diagnosis How do you find it now to manage? x

Awww dont let the time play on your mind honey. I know its easier said than done I totally obsessed like a bitch when trying for alex lol. But the stress alone will only impact your OV and you dont want that! x

Aw man I'm sorry chick!! Really hope it's the best case scenario tho....jeeez just what you need!

I'm trying not to let it get to me....It hurt like a SOB the first 8 months or so but now I'm trying to just go with the flow. Can't do anything about it - can only be hopeful and patient Thanks hunny....how long did you try for Alex? xx

 

[BabeAwait]

Awww Carly it will happen I have faith! I'm sure your new donor will work out soon

Sarah over time I learned my triggers and what to avoid. I also did something called biofeedback where they hook your vitals up to a machine and teach you relaxation techniques. It shows you the techniques actually improve your vitals and help with the pain. I only went once but it was super helpful and I think about it every time I'm in a lot of pain. Hopefully it will also work for labor lol. I still have bad days when I have migraines or can't sleep because I'm in too much pain. But honestly since ttc it has gotten A LOT better. I think it's because I'm taking better care of myself. Quitting caffeine avoiding refined sugars are rarely drinking alcohol I'm sure have had an effect. Also removing yourself from stressful situations. I worked a job where my bosses were abusive to their employees and because of the stress I felt the worst I has in 7 years since it all started. Once I quit and wasn't constantly stressed and anxious I felt so much better it was unreal. I hope that they are able to figure it out and help you. You are in my thoughts it takes one tough cookie to go through that I'm here whenever you wanna talk about it

My temp rose a degree today! Eek! I hope it's true that I ovulated. Those darned opks have tricked me before. If I did ovulate it will be confirmed tues morn before my dr appt now wouldn't that just be perfect timing

 

[carlywarly]

omgosh would be sooo awesome if that is ovulation!! Certainly looks promising and I'm keeping absolutely everything crossed for post ov elevated temps from now onwards pleeeaassee!! xx

 

[sarahuk]

We started in 2009 chick and we had him in 2013 so emotionally it felt like it was FOREVER we waited for him!!

Three years ish. Worth every second of pain the ltitle bugger of getting to him too.

Thats what we are here for Carly...to keep you focused and thinking of the positive side to the journey. Your gorgeous boy will get his sibling.

Oh wow Michelle that sounds awesome!! Bet they wouldnt do anything like that over here...our healthcare system is not the best lol x

 

[sarahuk]

Oh btw...looks like OV to me!! x

 

[carlywarly]

Ah thanks Sarah Lovely lady!! Wow that must've taken a toll trying for that long :/ It'd be amazing to have a crystal ball that gives you a rough idea of when you'll conceive eh?!

Michelle, I'm liking those temps!! May they please continue
