~S.T.L<3~*Lots of babies, Adoption and Waiting for Beth's BFP! <3

[AndreaFlorida]

I thought I saw lines to an thought maybe a miracle would happen but it didn't. Last day of birth control is July 16th. Then go to appt. on the 19th I do believe...its in the kitchen written on the calendar. Just ready to get this one last cycle over with....I'm tired of waiting its just too hard to do anymore. I hope I don't get so sick this time from the HCG shot like I did last time.

So well my neighbor had her baby......and I heard so much shit shes said about me and Jason and how Jason needs biological children etc. WTF is she so concerned with our life for. She should be worried about her new born not about what me and Jason are doing with our lives. Come to find out her husbands been beating the shit out of her and I think shes jealous b/c Jason took responsibility by taking my two kids who weren't his and raising them as his own. So I guess shes jealous because I have the great guy who helps me around the house, who cares about his kids, and wants to spend time with us when she doesn't have anything like that. NOT MY PROBLEM she needs to grow up....shes the one who was 8 months pregnant and told me she wished she'd had an abortion when she had the chance. Well apparently her baby "looks black" from what her fiance told the neighbor across the street...and hes WHITE lol....so I guess shes got some explaining to do?!?!?!? WHO KNOWS LMAO...I could care less but why does she care about me and my house...she needs to be minding her own damned business!

[waiting2012]

Great News Mandy about the GIRL!!! :girl: Tickled pink for you!!

Tanya--Seems we are waiting still!! ... Oh, Emma..COME ON!!

Brooke--The numbers are great!!! So glad things are settling with YOU emotionally, etc..You seem to be in a better place even though your aunt and hubby have been sick..

Andi--bummer about the tests, I really thought something was there for ya!

Beth--Have you tried using one of the FS Tests that First Responce makes? I used one and it was rather interesting.. I think you use on day 3 of your cycle--not sure that would help if you aren't having a cycle yet.. :doh: But maybe it might be good to check with the doctor... I just know your August is looming--in a way I pray that it is but for selfish reasons--I was told January for a successful conception and baby--I guess I just want to know that its still there as a possibility.. Big Hugs hun!

I know ya'll are wondering about my numbers.. Not so good... 1152.. Its increasing, but not doubling like it should.. Dr. E's nurse said--u/s next wednesday in the morning and we'll discuss what he finds. He is still leaning to a non-viable pg yet again.. Weird thing is--I've cried so much lately, I don't have much left in me as far as this goes... No woman should have to feel so damn numb and complacent with miscarrying. Jason thinks I need to go and talk to someone about my feelings--ummm... I need to be able to talk to him, but he doesn't see why I want another--he's willing to keep trying for me--but I feel sometimes he does it out of obligation rather than love for me and the thought of actually having another.. Oh well.. Can't win them all...

Going to my FB--been staying busy with my games--which I'm sure Andi and Jenn and Mandy--can back up!!

It's friday!! So happy friday ladies!!

 

[AndreaFlorida]

LMAO emmm yes GAMES haha thats what I've kept busy with lately I have ultrasound later today.....I just want something done about the pain my side is killing me an my back is killing me now to point of tears.....I'm on the BCPills still gahhh an seems like I'm gonna have my PERIOD soon...how lovely

 

[bnporter81]

Steph, oh my gosh, I've never heard of First Response having a test like that...I just went to research it and I think I'll try it out when I get to CD3 again.Thanks for telling me about it I had a lot of EWCM a little while ago and my OPK has gotten darker. I always hope when I get both of those together that I'll O. soon. I've been disappointed a lot in the past when I've had that happen, but I'm trying to stay hopeful.

Sending lots of love and prayers for you on Wednesday...I hope you get great results from it, honAnd hey, at least your numbers are going up instead of down...I think that's a great thing

Brooke, fantastic news about your numbersSo happy for you

Tanya, I think your little girl is waiting until my sons' birthdayOne was born on July 20th and the second was July 26th...hopefully for you it will be soon. You must be feeling so miserable. I know how hard summer babies are...I've had 3!

Have a great weekend everyone....love and hugs

 

[AndreaFlorida]

Thank God its Friday!! I am trying to find a job b/c IM BROKE lol....it SUCKS....but its true....I'm so irritated at myself its kind of my fault! But I dug the hole I'm gonna halfway dig outta it...Jason caused some with the truck thing....the payment is big, the insurance is bigger, and ehhh the gas bill is OUTRAGEOUS....gahhhhhh....shoot me. So anyways I applied to 3 places PRAYERS PLEASE....one job I'd love to do its on base an its Hertz car rentals I could handle that! Then another was Staples and the other was a clerical worker inputting data into a system I could handle that to its data entry at the docs office I would love it! I PRAY I GET ONE OF THEM!!

 

[AndreaFlorida]

Oooo well its almost time to get going to my appt. Will talk to everyone later on

 

[AndreaFlorida]

I'm home.....bahhhh I apparently DO have a cyst and the doc was apparently RIGHT....2 inches on left ovary my goodness can I catch a break. I guess I'll know in a few days what we are going to do about this one! The tech told me "I didn't show you this or tell you this but there is your problem and its a 2 inch cyst on the left ovary...." I was like OMG thanks for telling I won't say nothing....and I won't but I will be telling my fertility doc next week when I go see him again. Thank GOD I got an answer and I'm not imagining crap she said normally ladies with cysts that large come in hunched over...she said I duno how your not...I said it hurts but I can handle the pain I'm used to it by now had it for 5 weeks about now!

 

[waiting2012]

Good Luck with the jobs hun!! Hope your u/s goes well sweetie too!

Thanks Beth--yep, the numbers are going up, just not doubling like they should.. I like my hot ob/gyn but when you get past the "hotness"--I realize he's like every other doctor that "thinks" they know best... I think Jason is going to go with me..I don't know why--but I'm glad he has nothing else to do right now, so he can be there good or bad... The tests are pretty interesting--I've done them a couple of a times--I know the deal with them is--you don't want to have a line in the test area and if there is--then it needs to be lighter than the control line. It measures the amount of FSH *which has something to do with egg reserves/quality etc..* I know my last couple of times of using them--I had a line in the test area but it was still in the good to go range.. Nice thing is if I remember right--I think I had gotten a hpt with them...LOL...At least you'll know cause if the test line is darker than the control or as dark as the control than you are supposed to let your doctor know...

I'm just piddling right now, waiting for Jason to pick me up from work--he had his THEA test today--didn't get done with it till about 2:00pm--brought me a cherry mash and a cherry pepsi--didn't ask for the pepsi, but Heh... and then he went to his aunt's house... Think I'll see how my games are... LOL..

 

[waiting2012]

Andi--I guess that is as good as luck as any with your u/s... At least you know you weren't crazy, and maybe it will be a quick fix.. FX'ed for ya hun, and lots of prayers too!

 

[TandA08]

Sooooooooo..... I just got home from my Dr appt and.....

Finally dilated to 1cm! BUT still high and thick

The Dr gave me a weight estimate of the baby, said she's probably 7 to 7 1/2 pounds right now, and she can't believe that after the scare 3 weeks ago, that we still haven't had the baby! Then she proceeded to tell me that I have a very narrow pelvis... GREEEEEAAAAT! And she also said "Let's try and get this baby out before she gets to 8lbs. I sure hope that after all this we don't end up doing a c-section." Now I'm even more worried about the whole labor part....... LOL

My actual due date is the 28th, but the Dr said that Monday the 16th she is on call, and that it would be a great day to go into labor on that day My next appt is next Friday the 20th - if Emma hasn't arrived before then.....

 

[AndreaFlorida]

Awesome news Tanya...same thing happened with my youngest and I went 2 weeks late they stopped my labor twice through the injections.....but darn if he stook around way long after that LOL ...and now thinking about it it was only ONE week late I'm blonde LOL

 

[Kahlan83]

hi ladies.

Tanya...don't lsiten to the doctors when they say you have a narrow pelvis. Not that I'm a medical professional but it's not an acurate thing to say to a woman. i read this book by a well known midwife who says that when doctors say that it's complete BS because women have been giving birth vaginally for centuries even before Doctors delivered babies. all different shapes of women. Just don't let them talk you into a C-section unless Emma really is in trouble. I was too impatient and that added to my own cs. My doctor says I have about a 70% chance of having a vaginal birth this time.

Doctors seem to prefer women to have c-sections because it gets them out of L&D faster and it means more money for them. In the grand scheme of things, Matty came out healthy and that's all that mattered but in hind sight i should have just waited it out and let my water fully break on it's own.

Emma will come when she's ready and I have confidence in you that you can do it....and btw, they can't tell you exactly how big baby will be. they told me matty would be close to 10lbs...he was 8lbs 9oz...and technically he came a day after his due date.

Brooke, so happy that your numbers are looking good but I hope your family gets better soon.

Steph...regardless of the fact that your numbers are doubling don't give up hope. I read many times that not every woman has normal numbers for the first little while. I really hope they find a beating heart and then your doctor can go shove it.

Andi. For sure girl, praying for you...for a job and for some resolutions for your girls and the cyst. I still believe that things are going to work out for you...one way or another.

Beth. I hope everything is good for you!! F'x.

anyway for me, everyone is excited about Alyson. She's been moving quite a bit, especially to music....just like Matty did. it's still kind of amazing to me that there's a baby in there moving around now. I know I still owe you guys the picture I got. It's not very clear but I will post it tomorrow night. We're going with my MIL to some safari park in Niagara so we'll be gone pretty much all day.

Still working on getting my license. Josh says he wants me to go to young drivers just for some more in car lessons. At least he's not giving up on me completely. it's a work in progress. I still have until November to get my G2 (second part of the license system here in Canada)

anyway, heading to bed soon. Keep us updated about Emma!

 

[TandA08]

Thanks Mandy for the confidence!!!

Soooo after my update on Friday, we had dinner, then went for a 2 mile walk then hung out for the rest of the evening. I went to bed around 10:30 and had a very hard time falling asleep. At about 12:30 I was woken up by some pretty strong contractions and some mild period like cramping in the front and low low back - like tailbone low. I tossed and turned for 2 hours. The contractions were about 5 minutes apart. Finally at about 3am I called the hospital and spoke to a nurse in labor and delivery. She said to time how long the contractions were lasting, and if they were 60 seconds long then I could come in and be checked. Or that if I was just too uncomfortable I could come in at anytime. She said to try and wait an hour and see what the contractions did. So I went back to bed and timed the contractions. They were lasting 45 to 50 seconds and were only 2-3 minutes apart! So by about 4:30am hubby decided to take me to the hospital. While I was hooked up to the monitors, I had contractions coming every 2-3 minutes, and sometimes even every minute apart. The nurse checked me and I was still only dilated to 1cm maybe barely over. They were calling the on-call Dr and while we were waiting to hear back, the contractions slowed to every 5 minutes. So when the Dr called back, the nurses were told to send me home since I hadn't progressed.

So, I am home and have been walking as much as I can, mom and I went for a 1 mile walk last night. I was told that if the contractions continue and I want to be checked I can go to the hospital at anytime, the nurses don't mind at all. And obviously if my water breaks than I am to go in right away. My next Dr appt isn't until Friday and both the nurses at the hospital said I wouldn't make it until then. I am hoping they are right!

Well.... hope everyone is enjoying their weekend... sure was quiet on here yesterday...

 

[Kahlan83]

oh so exciting. keep us updated!

 

[calebsmom06]

Awwww TANYA!!!!! I hope baby Emma comes before Friday! I thought for sure she would be here by now! Eat some eggplant parmesean lol and some fresh pineapple and see if anything happens lol Your getting like I was being scared to death about a c-section! I went to the doc last week for a checkup with my blood pressure and my doc said, ' God works in mysterious ways, your baby was born 4 weeks early and is perfectly healthy. You had a hard delivery with a 7ln 13 oz baby, God knows what he is doing.' To hear that from a doc is amazing! I agree not to let them talk you into having a c-section, they cant MAKE you. Now if you try to have him naturally and there is a problem then yea go that route but as long as there isnt a problem try natural. The experience of really 'having' a baby is priceless! It is an AMAZING experience and to me the bond is so much better when you have to work for it

Steph-hope your numbers keep going up, I have heard where some levels rise slower than others so dont get your hopes down yet. And tell your boss to shove it up her a**!

!Kahlan! A girl! So far I am the only one with the boy on here! Come on now lol, My mom says we should try again for a girl lol. I told her I am not sure yet cause I wouldnt want to wait 5 years again and the cost of 2 in daycare would be extreme! and my luckj I would end up with a baseball team of boys. I love my boys

Andi how is everything working out with the girls and the job search? Hope it is going well. You should be finding out something soon about them correct? Hope they are able to take care of that cyst quickly and I hope once it is removed that you are blessed with a baby right away! I have heard where having cysts can release a hormone that will cause false positives on pregnancy tests.

Sorry if I forgot anyone, I have been really really busy with the baby/cleaning/cooking/errands/trying to get anything finished that I start lol. My mom was here this last week but she left 2 days ago. She helped a little bit, could have used her more but she wanted to stay 40 minutes away at a cabin on the beach in Port Aransas so I only saw her a few hours each day she was here:/ I hope to be able to start getting on here on a regular basis again but it is really hard and then I go back to work on the 1st which will make it even harder but I do always post pics up on my Facebook if anyone wants to see them My baby boy turned 2 weeks old yesterday! ALREADY!!!!

 

[calebsmom06]

Oh BROOKE everything is looking so positive for you now!

Beth how is everything going with you?

Amanda-hope your sickness is easing up for you, it stinks to have to be sick through half your pregnancy
I was thinking you know someone could write a book about our thread that could be a HUGE insight to women trying to get pregnany or even who are pregnant Just a thought that went through my head

 

[Kahlan83]

Hey Jenn, Add me on Facebook. I'd love to see more pics of Cameron.

I'm under Mandy Godwin. and that's an open invitation for the rest of you girls that don't have me yet.

 

[AndreaFlorida]

Totally does make sense that I was getting positive tests! I duno what they will do I guess we'll find out next week!

 

[calebsmom06]

I found you Id love too add everyone but with the name Jennifer Lopez people seem to have a hard time finding me:/
Andi-so hopefully it gets taken care off and no more tricks with tests will be played with you mind!
