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

Awww Emma doesn't wanna come out! LOL.....Trysten was exactly a week late darn him LOL I know what it feels like to have to just wait it stinks :) but when he came it was a NICE surprise as I wasn't expecting him to come on his own I figured I'd have to be induced which wasn't the case :) woot woot. Anyways....man its been a crazy past 2 days....no sleep my sis n law got sick while we were in our adoption class so we talked to the teacher an she said since we made it more than half the session it would be okay...THANK GOD we don't have to wait on another class just to catch class #8 that would have SUCKED...but we get to sis n laws house an she was HORRIBLY sick. She said she was sick then all of a sudden of course shes in the kitchen for a min to get something on the hard floor.....she decides to FAINT on the hard floor when 2 mins earlier she woulda been on the carpet THANKFULLY I caught her and dialled 911. The ambulance took forever and I was beside myself I had never been so scared in all of my life for her. Thankfully she just had a HORRID stomach bug that dehydrated her in 2 hours time. Shes okay now but still say a prayer for her she scared us :( her husband is on a TDY and couldn't get home. Same with me when I blew up LOL from the firework incident my hubby was TDY to. My hubby (her brother) told her that apparently we all only get sick when our husbands have to get deployed or go TDY an nothing breaks til they are gone as well like our septic tank messed up an I had to pay $500 bucks when my hubbs was deployed! It never fails...shes okay now.

So the cyst shrank but I totally forgot to tell you about the "fluid" in my uterus. Its apparently just blood still but they are going to check tomorrow an make sure its all cleared up. I don't have a feeling it will be I've had the HORRIBLEST cramps with this withdrawel from the BCPills.....and I have now been bleeding pretty heavy on day #6 now. Anyways....gahhh I keep getting these phone calls from India I actually called to report them yesterday to the FTC...and (Federal Trade Commission) and today they just called my cell phone for another 22 calls :( FML YES they called 22 times yesterday! I tell them I'm not LINDA who they ask for an they then say well you inquired for school online etc. and I tell them I didn't that I already have my PHD (a lie) lmao they hang up...if you ask to speak with their supervisor they hang up. So what the guy at the FTC said was they made up some random name and thats what they use for my number and they are a scam. They have about 20 different phone numbers they call from but its the same people and the same scam just different reasons....one is I applied for a loan, the other is I enquired about online schooling, and the list goes on and on. I wish they'd stop calling since I put 20 applications in the past week I can't really go change my phone number. Sooooo they are going to continue to call but I applied to some jobs where they may call out of my area code. So....saying that I have to fooking answer the phone an THEY WONT STOP CALLING (PULLING MY HAIR OUT AT THIS POINT) GAHHHH I wanna scream and shout LOL! Anyways....I just had to vent. So anyways Iv'e been HORRID crampy today I guess its just the rest of the "liquid in my uterus" working itself out?!?!?! IT HURTS SOOOO BAD :( I duno...maybe its a good thing who knows they said it was really weird that I had such a horridbleed from just withdrawel from pills they thought I would spot then I told her well my AF comes sometimes every 25-26 days and thats NOW....so is it possible that I O'd or something an she said NO b/c I have some larger follicles already. Anyways she said I should Trigger Monday or Tues. depending on the scan Friday...(tomorrow) so we shall wait an see....talk to you all later today :) Much loves :)
 
well, back from my ultrasound and it appears that they are still not sure that I am in fact having a girl. I think I am, Josh thinks I am but from what she tells me baby's legs are still really tight together. The first tech said that she was pretty sure but this tech said that she could have confused the bum for girl lines so now....guess we're going to be surprised. Of course Josh is happy about that.

I'm still going on my gut feeling though but it means that we can't buy anything gender specific until after he or she is born. Crap....but the baby is healthy and that's all that matters. I'm still going to take all the clothes from people though because I know in my heart that it's an Alyson in there and not a Zachary.

Guess we'll see how it goes. I won't be getting any more ultrasounds unless something worrying comes up and even if I do, they probably won't be able to tell.

Andi, glad the cyst is shrinking

Steph, sorry hun but at least they're taking more notice this time

Tanya, Emma will come when she wants... lol. I'm sorry to hear about the dog. Similar thing happened to us, only with a cat. she just wouldn't get along with our others so we had to find her a new home. She was such an affectionate loving cat too but she hated the other cats.

Well I'm including the scan photos. The first one is from teh scan two weeks ago. It's hard to make out but her/his head is on the left side and a little hand is on the cheek. the next two are from today.

Nothing new here really..I'll know tomorrow what my hcg levels are, but I did test last night to see if there was anything remaining--it was BFN.. So I figure since the 'sac' is gone now and all that remains is the lining--I guess there is no hcg.. I'm going to test again this evening and in the morning to make sure.. My numbers will still up there last week when the sac or what was left of it was still visible so who knows--maybe now that their so low, I'm not registering a positive hpt..?? I bought some of the .88 tests at Walmart--so we'll see.. And yes, those cramps finally stopped! :happydance:.. I'm sure the tech wasn't trying to be a bitch, your right Beth.. I guess my cervix is just really sensitive and all.. I've been feeling pretty good..I woke up at f'ing midnight to pee..UGH..and then it was apparent that Jason was watching some crappy movie--Good thing I fall asleep easier when listening to the tv..UGH..Then I woke with the most urgent urge to pee again right at 1 minute before my alarm went off!!! Damn it!!! Lol..
Andi..I'm sorry that you are having so much damn trouble.. I wish we could just trade our woohoo's in for new, younger models... LOL.. :hugs:
Beth..Hope your doing good, hun! August is fast approaching.. Hope you see your :bfp: like Gail predicted!
Tanya..Can't wait for new news about Emma.. Hopefully, you'll be a bit more dilated and they will think about helping ya out...LOL..Glad your doggie is feeling better hun! Hope all is well..
Jenn--Def going to keep on voting hun!!
Mandy--Doing something special for ya! will post it in a few...
Amanda and Brooke--how are you lovely ladies???? Hope all is going good!! :)
 
Morning ladies! Still no Emma... Dr appt is in 2 hours. I'll update as soon as I can. Last week they mentioned stripping the membranes at this appt, so we'll see what happens.

Mandy, love the u/s pics, I'm sorry that they were not able to confirm the gender for you, but I am still going with a girl!

I'll be back in a while :hugs: everyone!
 
thanks steph.... :hugs:

Well...Emma's official due date is tomorrow right? Who knows. My water broke on Matty's due date....I was born on my due date....

guess we'll find out from ur doctor. You said he was going to do a stretch and sweep right? Maybe that's the nudge that Emma needs.

F'x for you!
 
I want each and everyone of you know, no matter how long you've been here on this thread how much I appreciate and love each and every one of you ladies. You are the spark that I need to keep me going when I'm down, the shoulder to cry on, the cheerleader when I think I can't go on any further.. I pray for you ladies, individually and as a whole.. I think about you in the mornings when I get up and the evenings before I go to bed at night. I'm not the best at writing, I'm not much at texting. I know to you all I'm probably the luckiest UNlucky person in the world, next to Andi..:winkwink: If we could join at the hip--we'd be a whole person probably! LOL.. As I was saying.. This thread will be 1 years old on October 31st. I always hoped to be pregnant, or have had a baby by then. I have been pregnant. Once in November since the thread started, and what twice in the past 6 months alone? I seem to have a fertile bunch of eggs that attract sperm like a magnet or something, but like a lumpy bed that you have had for a 100 years, my eggs don't land comfortably and do what they are intended to do. Ya'll know I had my u/s on wednesday as well as more bloodwork. There was no sac seen, only a thick a lining--good, right?? Well... Wish it meant that it was AWESOME, but looks can be deceiving and I play roulette each time I have sex with my hubby:dohh::blush:.. I got my numbers back--my hcg as of wednesday was 1. I took an hpt the other night and it was negative. I told ya'll I'd take another--I didn't get to take it last night--I was beat so I brought it with me to work. the keeper 72712.jpg I was so f'ing confused at what I was seeing for 2 reasons--I had just gotten done talking to my OB's nurse--I had taken the test--and at 3 min/nada, at 5 min/nada, at 10min/WTH?, 15min/DOUBLE WTH??--it actually had gotten darker. I called my OB's office back told her that I had taken an hpt (they wanted me to this weekend or at least by tuesday--go back in on Wed) and that it was faint but positive. I was told to absolutely NOT stop my Provera--they called in another 30 days of it on top of what I already went and picked up. I asked about my Lupus test-it hasn't come back yet, but should monday. They did a rush on the hcg and actually had the numbers back yesterday--but I didn't get their phone call or they called the wrong number.:shrug: I am to start a prenatal vitamin, and iron supplement since it appearred to that my iron was low. My progesterone was actually already in the good range but Dr.Edwards thinks my estrogen spikes and it falls like a rock which may contribute to the m/c's plus previous scarring I have from my c/sections, a terminated pg almost 16 years ago and the other procedures that have been done. I was told that there is a 50/50 chance this bean will burrow deep, be in the right spot, etc. "As with any pregnancy whether you've had no miscarriages or a 20, there is never a guarantee that it will remain viable", quoted his nurse when I asked her about it. She wasn't rude, or contrasending, rather polite. I'm to test again before coming to the office on wednesday, he didn't schedule an u/s for that day and I was told at around 4 weeks there would be no reason to since all that would probably show was a thickened lining still. And to think the only reason I grabbed the hpt as I was leaving for work was because I almost threw up in the trash can this morning. I sent the pic to Jason and told him we were "Knocked up, Again:dohh:" and his reply was, "I knew already":haha: I asked him how he knew, and he said, "have you seen your boobs lately? and you've been complaining of cramps off and on for a week":haha: So this whole time since last week, these periodic cramps I've had--seem to have been a good thing maybe?? Or maybe not... Tuesday night, I had the worst cramps and wednesday morning was rough..But no spotting, not a hint of blood anywhere, just a lot of wet, wet, wet cm that makes me feel like I'm starting.. I stopped drinking after 9pm because I was tired this week of getting up anytime from midnight to 4am to pee, and was still up at 1am.. My face is broke out, my boobs like cantaloupes that are rippened and ready to eat:haha:, and every few hours I get these light-medium cramps. By 3:30 the last 2 days, I'm ready for a nap and the afternoon just drags by horribly! :sleep: Just pray ladies. I don't what God is doing, or why He's doing it, I've prayed to him and cried to Him for answers, solutions, a sign.. I pray that if not me, then please let be Beth, or Andi..I know you ladies have waited for so long too, and it breaks my heart that I can get pg so easily, and I know if I was in your place--I'd be a little upset too.. I know that when you both get pg (SOON I HOPE!!!), that they will be the stickiest beans ever!!:hugs: I can only pray that this is "The Keeper".. According to Pregnology, my edd is April 9th, 2013--funny coincidence--Wesley's original edd was April 9th 1995--it was moved to the 5th of April and he was born on the 4th. It looks like if all goes well, Wes will be getting diapers for his 18th birthday..:haha:
Sorry, I've rambled..I didn't mean to go on and on... I'm sure each of you is :dohh: "Damn, girl..Give your body a rest".. It wasn't planned, I assure you...Jason didn't think it was possible even though Dr. E said it appearred I was about to ovulate--I guess we underestimated the "about to" part, because the last time we had sex was last thursday--I've just not been in the mood since last saturday (my mojo was running but we didn't bd friday or saturday because of what Dr. E said)..:dohh::dohh::dohh::dohh::dohh:

Love you ladies... I'll keep you posted.. The ladies here at my work know too, I couldn't keep it from them--they are praying hard, and very hopeful too.. I hope this bean and God know how much everyone is hoping all works out..
 
So sorry steph, hope you find the peace and understanding you need. I also hope that this eggy sticks and finds the comfort it needs. typing with 1 hand lol cause Cameron is sleepin in the other so sorry if any mistakes. He is in1st place right now but bounces around between there and 4th every day. If you all will register and vote itd be very much appreciated!
Tanya-i look forward to hearing what your doc has to say! maybe they will schedule a time to induce you, itd be great if they kept you today to have the baby!
Ashley-how have you been?
mandy-i love the u/s pics! Sorry they couldnt tell gender, im sure its a girl! Seems to be the going thing on this thread hehe
beth-hope your boys didnt keep you up to late! I will try to upload pics now, see if it works this time.
Today was my due date, such a happy feeling. I still cant believe it! He will already be a month old in 3 days!Well i am gonna try to upload the pics
 
That's great news, Steph!:flower:I know you must be a little nervous about all of the what-ifs, but try not to worry yourself too much. I hope and pray that this is your "keeper". I'd say if anyone deserves it, you do...especially with all you've been through lately:thumbup::hugs:I was wondering, would there not be any bleeding or miscarriage symptoms if there's a new baby in there? I just wondered how that would work...not trying to be rude or nosy or anything:hugs:Anyway, sending you lots of love and sticky, sticky :dust:Keep us updated!:thumbup:
 
yea Steph. I really hope this is the one. F'x and lots of prayers.

and of course we're here for you. always! just try and stay positive!

No your not being nosy hun... Dr. Edwards said that what happens is the sac and its contents get absorbed by the body if its an early loss--this doesn't always occur, but about half the time it does. The lining was still thick so that meant there was an optimal amount of "cushion" for a "maybe" there, which is why he wanted me on the Provera and to test by tuesday--if it was positive--I have to keep taking the Provera till the 12th or 13th week to keep the lining from breaking down, if it was negative, and his test next was negative he was going to have me stop taking the Provera, and let my body be triggered to shed the lining. I hope that helps ya hun.. We were told last week, its not that uncommon for this to happen which is why we were supposed to refrain from bd'ing..But...:dohh:
 
I think Mandy, it's going to be a girl... Chinese calendar predicts a boy for me.. I got to pondering about Gail's prediction.. :dohh: and it occurred to me--If she couldn't pick up what one of my spirit's with A name was (Alice) is it possible the boy she saw me having in 2013 was actually a July conception and not a January one? I know the calendar doesn't work for everyone--it did for me with Wesley and Adrian--right on the money--and it says if I conceived in January it would be a girl--but this month--A BOY... I don't know..I'm hesitantly excited, and still feel at peace because..Well I just do. I feel like its going to be ok.. But then again, I've felt that way before.. Jason just stopped by and he said, "How is little Theodore?" (I hate that name and he knows it because I say Teddy--ends up sounding like "Titty".. :growlmad:) so needless to say, he saw the test in person, and seems happy right now.. Going to do some of my FB games..We are going to dinner afterwork, just the two of us, so come on 5:30!! Adrian is at her G-pa's tonite... :happydance:
 
Oh, forgot to mention, Beth--these cramps I've been having--especially on tuesday night--I thought for sure those were just pending-to-bleed cramps--but nope..I did have a little brown spotting on sunday--but I didn't even think about it to be honest because it was like one swipe on the tp--so not sure to count that as anything..

I love you ladies.. I hope you are all doing well!

We are doing a Mission trip tomorrow night--going to help serve at a Mission in Wichita Falls (the family, and a bunch of church members from FUMC), looking forward to it too..Jason is going sunday with Sahara and his mom (no Sahara still hasn't come to the house--that'll change though when it all goes to court)--they are going to a waterpark and Adrian is supposed to go to.. Hope everyone has a good weekend!! :):):)
 
Wow Steph congratulations :) I went in with my Trigger shot in hand...and well I'm not ready yet this time my follicles are growing slow but by Monday they will be HUGE just pray over the weekend I don't hyperstimulate my ovaries with my injections I've never had more than 2 injections before the trigger.

YaY!!! Andie!!! WOW...Girl, GOD IS GOING TO BLESS YOU! I just know it...You and Beth deserve it sooooo much more than I do...I've had my chances, for whatever reason the doctor's can come up with--they don't stick--but I feel like someone else deserves an extra sticky bean! **I can hope that this it for us..** You are a brave, brave, brave woman doing those shots, and having to feel the "ICK" that it makes you.. I tell you what--our babes are going to the more then the apples of our eyes when they arrive--they are going to be HEAVEN SENT!!
I hope I'm not offending anyone.. I may not have "walked" in Andi's shoes, but damn, I feel like it sometimes.. I love ya hun!

I love all you girls!!! Each of you is sooooo special, and I hope someone is telling you that EVERYDAY!! IF NOT I'M GOING TO SHOOT THEM WITH HORSESHIT!! :gun::gun:

Hi girls...just took this and got a positive and a smiley face:happydance:Sorry the pic is so bad. My 3.2 megapixel phone sucks, lol:dohh:DH and I BD'd yesterday afternoon and now I have to wait until he gets home in the morning, but I'll be doing all I can to get in some BD time:winkwink:

Thank you for clearing that up for me, Steph. I understand a little better how it works now. And I have always heard that after a miscarriage your chances of pregnancy are increased:thumbup:FX'd for you, hon.

Tanya, I hope it works and Emma will be here soon! Can't wait!:hugs:
