Any other DISers trying to concieve? Reread OP for the QOTD!

[helenabear]

I am so sorry Beth I do hope that everything will work out for you

Big hi to everyone else... I have been lurking but not as much time for posting lately. We still cannot agree on a name, but I am holding firm with my choice

 

[TinkerChelle]

Well, the hits just keep coming. I had my pre-op appointment and the doctor said he was concerned that the endometriosis might be so severe that he may have to remove my left ovary along with my fallopian tubes. He will try to do everything he can to save it, but just hearing him say that was overwhelming. I really can't even think about that possibility right now or I will breakdown.

I am trying to stay positive as I know that is all I can really do right now.

Stay postive! My thoughts and prayers are with you!

hi everyone. I've been lurking as well.

We're going to wait until January to try another round of ivf.

 

[AllyandJack]

Aw, Beth, I'm sorry.

I haven't been around much because DD is in PT and her reflux isn't any better. One thing I wasn't prepared for with children - the amount of doctor's visits! The place that does infant PT only does infants at 1pm when they're between sessions. If I was still a lawyer, I'd be so fired right now.

I have to read back and get caught up!

 

[skuttle]

Oh, Beth! I'm so very sorry that you received that news. Hopefully your dr will be able to save it. And, I have to add that I cannot believe that someone actually asked you if you were pregnant. I thought EVERYONE knew that you do NOT ask that...even if the woman is 9 months pregnant, you never ask that question!

Kristy...I hope you are able to enjoy your break. Relax, enjoy the holidays. January will be here before you know it and you'll be ready to go!

Not much new here. Just waiting for my appt next friday with my GP to learn how we'll attack the insulin resistance.

I haven't posted in awhile but I am so sorry GypsySue. Try to have positive thoughts and wear orange which is the color for fertility. Of course my friend told me to wear but I never did.

 

[Tasha+Scott]

I'm so sorry, Beth! I hope that this will not affect your chances of conception too badly. I wish I was better with words but just know we are all here for you!

Carla~ What is Katharine going to PT for?

Allison~ I hope your appt. goes well on Friday!

Well, I caved and bought the expensive digital OPKs because the line ones are a PITA to read IMO. I really should have known better than to buy the line ones to begin with since I hate line HPTs too and prefer digitals with those as well. Anyway, I got a happy face this morning which means I should ovulate either today, tomorrow, or Monday at the latest. The bad part is I have been sick to my stomach the past few days so I'm hoping we will still be able to BD today. If not, I hope that the fact that we BD yesterday will work in our favor! Ugh! Talk about bad timing! I am ready to get this show on the road though!

 

[momsully]

I had trouble finding this thread today. Just wanted to bump us back up and let everyone know they are in my thoughts. We took the month off as I don't want to be pregnant when I go to Disney next month. It would be just my luck after three years of trying to end up pregnant on our trip and not be able to ride anything with the boys. I am going solo without DH so they really need me to go on any of the big rides!

 

[GypsySue]

Surgery went well! They didn't take any ovaries or tubes out--just the endometriosis! I have a follow-up in a couple of weeks to find out where we go from here.

 

[fanofdisney]

Hi ladies! I haven't been on here for awhile. I got af back after my mc, and it was more painful than the mc itself! But good news is I'm ovulating again! I think I might have missed my window this month, but hopefully soon. I told dh to be ready! lol My goal is to have another child before our son turns 8, which is Dec. 2008. Of course I wish they weren't so far apart, but as we all know, babies come when they want to, not when you want.

GypsySue- I'm so glad to hear that news! That's wonderful!

Tinkerchelle- I don't blame you. I think we all struggle with trying to act happy for people that get preggo so easily. It's very difficult.

Kristy- Hi! I sent you a myspace message. Enjoy the holidays and get some r and r before your next round!

Helena- I obviously missed the whole conversation about the names. What are your ideas? I would love to hear them.

Hugs and baby dust to everyone!

I'm so glad surgery went well for you, and I hope the recovery goes smoothly as well. I had endo removed when I was 18, and was up and moving around in less than a week. The worst part was really the gas bubbles and the feeling of all my organs moving around everytime I moved an inch. Hope you're doing better soon and able to start ttc again!

 

[Tasha+Scott]

momsully~ I completely understand your reasoning for taking a month off. It will probably be nice to relax a bit and it sure would be nice to not be pregnant at WDW too. Hopefully it will happen after your trip!

GypsySue~ That is such great news!! I am thrilled to hear they didn't take your ovaries or your tubes! I hope the follow-up appt. brings good news too.

fanofdisney~ Welcome back! I'm glad you are starting to ovulate again and I hope you get a sticky baby soon!

Well, I am officially in my first "real" 2ww since ttc my dd over 3 years ago (I can't believe it has already been that long!!). I was tentatively in the 2ww last month too but we weren't trying and I was pretty sure we didn't have good timing so that's why I say this is the first "real" planned 2ww. This time we had perfect timing and we did try and we BDed on all the right days so I'm praying it results in a BFP. I Oed on Saturday so I'd be looking at an end of May baby (May 30 or 31) and that sounds good to me.

 

[Jen_in_NH]

GypsySue - glad the surgery went well, and they didn't have to take the tubes or ovaries. Get some rest

Momsully - have a great trip!


So my husband wants to know - if I used to dread the 2ww, how am I standing this 9ww? I'm not pregnant, but still no AF. I'm not always patient, so this is driving me nuts!!!!! At some point, I should call the doc and see what's up, but I know their answer is going to be to go on BCP to regulate again. I stopped them years ago for migraines, and don't want to take them again. The other part is, I want to get pregnant again quickly, which OBs don't tend to like. So their help towards that goal might not be helpful, KWIM?

Oh well, it's 1am. I'm rambling. Have a good night ladies

Jen

 

[KimR]

GypsySue - wonderful news!

Jen, I'm right there with you! It takes my cycles longer than normal to regulate after any kind of disruption (ie, pregnancy, mc, bc pills). Typically, it takes around 3 months after I stop breastfeeding before I get my first period. I know that's probably not what you wanted to hear.

It took 8 weeks for AF to show up after this past miscarriage and I was so anxious to get the ball rolling again. What helped me was to focus on a time in the future when I was sure I would be back in business and decide that that's when I would be trying again. My m/c was in June so I picked Sept/Oct with a goal to be pg by Christmas. That really helped me stop waking up every morning wondering if AF would show and avoid the whole 'watched pot never boils' thing.

BUT - AF showed up in August and here it is September and my period is late (and no, I'm not pg), so I'm still waiting. I don't even know if I O'd this month b/c I haven't been charting (which is rare for me).

 

[skuttle]

Beth, Great news!! I hope you recover quickly.

 

[TinkerChelle]

Yeah!!! So glad to hear the good news.

 

[TinkerChelle]

Fan of Disney-Sorry AF was so painful. Good luck this cycle and thanks for your kind words.

 

[DisneyDreamer8]

Beth-I'm so glad that your procedure went well!!! Get some rest

Big to all you wonderful ladies!!! I really do think of you all often and am so hopefull that you all will get your little ones very soon!!!

I've been lurking but have not had time to post for awhile. The remodel is in full swing right now so I'm either running out picking our light fixtures, appliances, etc. or ordering supplies to keep the workers working :crazy

I'm doing well. My NT scan was good now I'm just waiting for the results.

 

[Minnesota!]

Hi all - just breezing through in my 1 spare minute.

Elaine - I love the name Dominic. it was on my list for both my boys. My friend ended up naming one of her twins Dominic right before I had Noah, though! Hold firm

Jen - after I had Noah on 3/28, AF didn't show back up until 6/24. So just about 13 weeks. Are you sure you aren't pg? Did you have a c/s?

I hope the rest of you are well. We decided 2 weeks ago that we are done having children. I am a little sad. As sick as it sounds, I liked the "chase". The obsessing over lines, etc. I didn't mind pregnancy, but I hated the issues my body had at the end (GD, PIH, placental abruption, etc). Just better for my body to not do it anymore. SIGH.

We decided, though, that if in a few years we feel want another child, we will adopt. A whole other waiting game!

Best of luck to all of you! Hope your dreams come true VERY SOON!

So I wasn't going to bring this up, but I can't get it out of my head so I thought maybe talking about it on here will help. Yesterday I picked up DS from PreK and we were on our way home. He started asking me questions about his sister...what we would name her, when she would be here, etc. I guess at his age, 4 years old, a lot of people start having more babies. Plus, our neighbor just had her second, a girl, a couple of weeks ago. I tried to explain to DS that he may never have a brother or sister, but he said we just have to wait for her to come out. It made me laugh, but at the same time it broke my heart. I want so much to have another child, to give DS a sibling. And to hear DS talk about it, knowing how long we've been trying...it was just so hard. Then tonight at DS's soccer game I realized that he's the only one on the team without a sibling...3 out of the 6 other mom's are pregnant right now, the others already have at least one other child. I feel like such a failure. I'm hoping my appt Friday helps me get out of this funk...I've been down since AF arrived a few weeks ago and I just can't get myself out of it.

My best friend that's pregnant has mentioned to me that she wants to come to one of DS's soccer games (She is DS's godmother). I really want her to come, but I'm not sure how I'll react to seeing her in person. I haven't seen her since her pregnancy announcement.

Also, we went to playhouse disney live last Thursday. I saw a former co-worker that is now pregnantn with her second...I avoided her. I'm pathetic.

I know I have to deal with it soon, but it scares me. I also haven't been over to see my neighbor yet. I did buy a gift for the baby, but I haven't had the courage to go over there to meet the baby. I'm afraid I"ll burst out into tears. Also, I don't think I could handle holding the baby...would it be rude to say no if she asks if I want to hold the baby? I suppose I could lie and say I haven't been feeling well.

Sorry, I'm rambling...it's been a bad couple of weeks. I'm ready for Friday to get here!
