Morning all...

1 week til I take "the test" I have been having a lot of cramping...I am trying to stay positive...it is not easy. Any extra prayers you have, please send them my way.

Sending all of you good vibes!!

Eeyore - I would consider spotting the first day of my cycle, especially if it happens every month.

We had a GREAT vacation!!! I did not want to come back. I am usually ready to sleep in my own bed and shower in my own bathroom after a week, no matter where we go. But we were having such a good time, I could have stayed longer. I am relaxed and tan. And DH and I are going back for a weekend in less than a month. Woo hoo!

cybrktn - we went to Great Escape on Wednesday, so I missed you. I hope you had a great time. We did not do any of the big rides, and did not do the water park. It seemed pretty run down to me. What did you think?

Kristine - I am keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Allison - I skimmed the last week of the thread. Have you gotten any test results back?

mla- did you call the doctor? I wonder if it was implantation bleeding! But if it was an early miscarriage, and you are not bleeding any more, you are probably o.k. I prefer to say implantation bleeding. Good luck.

Have a great day, everyone!

Denae..Glad you enjoyed your trip!

I haven't heard from my dr yet. I called this morning, but I forgot that she and her staff do not work on Mondays, so I left a message. Hopefully I'll hear back from them tomorrow. I got the results from my pap today (that was fine), so hopefully the bloodwork will be done quickly as well.

 

[GypsySue]

First day of my new job and AF shows up. She has impeccable timing, no?

Keeping my fingers crossed for you Kristine!

Allison, I hope you get the results you want from the lab.

Cheers to all!

What is Implantation bleeding? Does that mean I could be preggos?

Well ladies, I just typed out a difficult email. My cousin, who I was out of touch with for several years, and I are back in touch. She is 24 and had her first child 4 years ago. She got married to his father shortly thereafter. Earlier this year, she gave birth to their second son, who passed away shortly after birth with no explanation. She wrote and told me they were separating for a while because he is 33, desperate for more children, and at this point, she is unable to say if she will ever be able to want more, but knows she doesn't right now. She has taken the loss of her son extremely hard, as would be expected. I feel so sorry for both of them, and I really didn't know what to say, but I tried to let her know I understood both of them and that I was praying for her and available if she needs me. It's just such a tough situation. I really can see both sides.

Any advice for what I can say in future emails? She knows we're TTC, but I told her a little more about our circumstances, etc. just because it's good to have someone to tell about this stuff! Most of the people I normally talk to are closer relatives, most of whom aren't close to my age, and it's nice to have a person who knows me to talk to about starting the TTC journey, even though I don't want to go too far because I don't want to make her uncomfortable.

Anyway, sorry for writing a book, but advice for things to say in future conversations are appreciated.

Hi, everyone! I haven't posted in a while and actually haven't even looked at this thread since my m/c. I've been trying to keep my mind of TTC while in limbo waiting for my period to start again. Well, it started last week (finally!) and I've had my bloodwork and a sonohystogram in preparation for IVF. My RE said my uterus and ovary look great, so if my FSH level comes back ok, we're in business. I'm very worried about those FSH levels though, due to my age (don't even ask - I'm OLD!).

I had awful flashbacks during the sonohystogram, though. After 4 missed miscarriages, I associate ultrasounds with bad news and I kept imagining that I saw concern in the technician's eyes. I started to panic - even though I knew there could be no horrible news resulting from this procedure. I mean - what exactly did I expect to hear - 'I'm very sorry, but I don't see a uterus'? Even so, I was panicking. It's funny how our mind works that way.

I am feeling much better emotionally. I had a VERY difficult time after my miscarriage. I don't think I'll ever be quite the same - I'll always remember my little baby girl. But, I survived and I'm back to enjoying life now and looking to the future. Despite my RE's apparent optimism yesterday, I realize my chances of having another child are slim, but we are going for it anyway. I need to know that I gave it my very best.

Well, I want to go back and catch up on this thread - best of luck to all of us in our baby quest!

I know the feeling of not wanting to come back. Neither did we and DS5 cried on and off for about 2 hours when we left on Saturday. He wanted to stay with Grandma and didn't want to leave her. It was hard on my mom and me as well. DS5 is her only grandchild right now and they have a very special bond together.

Sorry we missed each other at Great Escape. DS5 had a blast and was able to go on a few more rides than when he was 3. DH and I were disappointed that a few rides that we were looking forward to were either no longer there or were not working . We also thought the "Hall of Justice" was a waste of space and have heard from other people coming out that the circus was much better (and we agree to that). Of course, we also agree that the so-called "parade" wasn't worth it either.

Our church group that we met up with, mostly stayed in the water park area. Since I had forgotten to pack DS's bathing suit, we didn't go.

I don't know about run down though. My mom and I remember the park back when it was known as Storytown. There are still some remnants of that in the park that remind me of when I was a kid. The only area that I never liked was the "safari" area at the end of Toon Town. I still think they should have done something better with that area.

Our last thing at Great Escape was having the Old Time picture done. I've already asked DH if he could scan it in so that I can post it on the DISboards. No re-takes on the picture and DS's face was perfect . He has a habit of acting silly in pictures.

DH and I are still recouperating from our vacation and haven't even tried yet for #2. AF ended on the 12th and we may have already missed this month. If so, we'll try next time. At least this time around, I'm on the pre-natal vitamins. Of course if we get it, it might mean another baby in June .

 

[KristineN]

Like an idiot I POAS today 5dp5dt...and of course it was negative. So now I am totally crazier than I was!!!

 

[skuttle]

WDWAurora...I don't know what more you can do or say, other than just being there for your cousin when she needs someone to listen. It sounds like she may need some professional help due to her loss, and also I think marriage counseling should also be looked into before deciding anything. What a tough situation. I can see both sides as well, but I think the husband wanting to leave her so soon is a bit harsh. You said the loss was earlier this year...so it hasn't even been a year?? The husband, I think, needs to give her more time to deal with the loss. Is he a good guy? I just can't imagine giving up and moving on so soon!

Kim... Sounds like your RE appt went great! I always imagine the worst at dr visits as well! Good luck .

Kristine... LOL! I think it's still too early. Step away from the sticks!

My dr's nurse called me today since I left a message yesterday. She looked up my info and my test results are still waiting to be reviewed. I'll try to be patient and wait to hear from them later this week, hopefully!

 

[2bemarried]

Kristine it's WAY too early for the test to register. Put the tests away and RELAX!!!

Allison bummer...I think we should all call the doctor and bug them until the come up with the results??

My doctors appt was rescheduled again. The receptionists forgot that my doctor has to do fellows interviews Monday and had to completely rework her schedule for this week. Thankfully they were able to fit me in tomorrow morning at 10am

 

[skuttle]

Kristy, I keep trying to figure out when I should call back! LOL! Friday or Monday are my two options. The nurse said they were waiting on the pathologist...so after that my dr will have to review as well. Ugh!

 

[2bemarried]

Allison....I don't have patience so I would call on Friday and again Monday if you need to

I had a meeting with my doctor today. We just have to get insurance approval for the next round. Hopefully that'll come through in the next month.

 

[momsully]

Allison - I would call again tomorrow but I have no patience for stuff like that. There is no way it should take this long for them to read the results!

Kristy - Good luck on the insurance approval!

 

[TinkerChelle]

Allison....I don't have patience so I would call on Friday and again Monday if you need to

Hope everything works out with your insurance!

Hi Ladies

Just wanted to drop by and say HI

I think alot about all of you and hope to see you all over on the Mommies to be thread soon!!!

Kristy: I hope your insurance figures things out quickly so you can start your next cycle soon!!!! Lots and lots of Baby Dust to you!!!

Allison: I hope you got your results and they were what you wanted. I know about wanting something to be wrong with you so they can fix it and you can move on...but if it comes back clean do be sad because there are plenty of things you can still do if you want to continue. I'm sending lots and lots of Baby Dust your way as well!!!

As for me and the little bean we are doing well. Going in for my Nuchal Screening next week.

 

[mla2177]

This is a good one for you. I have a friend who was TTC for almost three years. She was unexplained. Anyway, she ended up doing In Vitro and had triplets (they are 19 months now). She just called me and told me she was pregnant (unexpectantly) and did it on her own. Isn't that wonderful. It does provide a little light at the end of the tunnel!!!!!!!

 

[mickeyboat]

Good morning, everyone. We're at page 5. Hope everyone is doing well, and has lots of fun stuff planned for the weekend.

Denae

 

[momsully]

Where is everyone?

Allison - Did you get your test results?

Kristine - How are you holding up?

I finally decided to call today for ADR's for our upcoming October trip. DH found out yesterday he got a new job so it will just be me and the boys. I was able to get almost anything I wanted including the Family Magic Tour so I was pretty pleased at this late date.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

 

[2bemarried]

I'm here lurking

I do want to know Allison's results and Kristine's test date.

MS...congrats on getting all of your reservations!!

Rebecca...what is the test that you have to take?

Denae have a GREAT weekend!

MLA congrats to your friend!
