TTC a Miracle 2009

AWESOME CLARE! if it is more than doubled does that mean TWINS?

Clare-So incredibly happy for you!

That's awesome Clare! I can't wait to hear how many healthy babies are in there!

Great news, Clare!

wonderful clare!! thanks for the advice, what is b/w? im so new at this...i think thats a good idea..can they refer me? or can i just find one on my own?

becky- thanks so much for thinking of me. its so hard waiting for answers. i wish the best for your friend!! we go back a week from wed to do the 2nd test...then possibly go to a specialist or maybe even go straight to the specialist. I asked the nurse to have the dr. call me after i got the results bc i had some questions and it would make me feel better to talk to him bc i was kinda freaking out etc. told her we had never been through this and just wanted to have more of an explanation etc. i was really nice about it etc, and she acted like that was really strange, and of course, he never called back. what would you guys do?

Shannon-Good to hear from you!-B/W might mean blood work? I'm guessing

Clare-Yay for doubling numbers!

Becky C-I think I know Allison...well not like personally. I was friends with Melissa Rines for a while and met Allison a couple times.

Our real estate agent is here...gtg!

Clare - that is wonderful news...

Kate-Yeah, thats Alison! She's my BFF . (sshhhh, I know you won't say anything but no one knows shes having trouble TTCing.) I know Melissa well too, we went to high school together.

Shannon-I would say call and schedule an appointment with a specialist and do the second test. Then hopefully you will have the results back and the specialist can give you the answers that apparently the office DH got his test done at can't. It ticks me off because I used to work at a dr's office and we always returned people calls and our dr's always did too, we made sure of it. I get so mad when I leave messages and don't get calls back.

Kate- hey! ahh your right, duh hehe. how are you? and ben?

becky c- thanks, i am going to go ahead and do that. makes me angry too, i just take it as they dont want to keep us as patients, especially being new ones and all.

Clare--I am so happy for you!!! I was really hoping you would come back and let us know your results. I hope you continue to let us know how you are doing, but I also understand if it is all a little overwhelming for you.

Hi to everyone else!

AFM: I got back from visiting my BFF in Virginia tonight. We've known each other since our sophomore year in high school. We had a great visit, but I am being tortured by my allergies. It feels like I will die when I swallow, and my ears still have not popped after our long drive through the mountains to get home. My eyes are so bloodshot that it looks like they are bleeding! LOL Visine only works for about an hour. Claritin is doing jack for my throat. My FIL said it is supposed to rain in the next day or two. I hope it does so the pollen count goes down. I will be absolutely miserable if I still feel this way when we move into our new place this coming weekend.

I'll try to catch up with persies tomorrow. For now I need to go wallow in my misery.

Clare- Woohoo on great beta numbers!!!

Shannon- I hope you can get some answers soon. I can't remember-- have you already had a HSG done and a u/s to rule out ovarian cysts for yourself? Praying that you will get that baby soon!

Tasha- Almost there!!! You must be getting so excited to meet Malika!

Maureen- Glad you had a good visit with your BFF but sorry that your allergies are so bad This is an awful allergy season. My MIL is seeing so many patients right now that it's insane. And my Olivia is suffering pretty badly too. Feel better soon!!!

Clare - YAY!!!! That is awesome news! I am very happy for you and DH and hopefully will hear more from you in the future!

CLare- that is great!!!

Maureen- yay for a nice visit with BFF. Sorry about your allergies. The boys have been sneezing a lot.

Maureen ~ sorry about the allergies. Chris is really suffering. I keep telling him he needs to go see the doctor to maybe get shots b/c the Allegra isn't working but he doesn't call....so my sympathy is waning for him!

Aara ~ have fun working on the house today.

Hi to EOE. I have a dr appt. today at 10:30. I had that ache yesterday but today seems to be ok so far. We'll see what he has to day! Keep your fingers crossed.

Good Luck Denise!!!!!! Let us know how it turns out!

Clare - Thanks for coming back & updating us on your numbers. That is great that they increased so much!

Denise - Hope your appointment goes well today.

I will go back & read other posts later & do more personals later. Gotta get back to work...just got hospital call.

Hi girls ~

Well, I have a baby in my uterus and not in my tube. I had an u/s today because my ache came back when I was at the doc's office and he wanted to rule out a tubal pregnancy. I'm about 5 weeks and the doctor, the RN, Chris and myself are 99% sure we saw the heartbeat flickering. But it was so small we couldn't get a good read on it. It turns out that even though my urine dip was clear, the sample I gave to the ER on Friday grew bacteria in my urine and in the vagina. So I have an infection that is more than likely causing my aches. I'm on Flagyl, 500 mg twice a day for 14 days. I hope it takes the aches away.

Chris is now telling everyone since we saw the heartbeat. I wanted to wait a bit but you know, good thoughts can't hurt. I'm still not spreading it over FB right now, though. I want to wait for another 3 weeks when we go back for another u/s.

Thanks for the positive thoughts!!

Denise- yay!!! sorry about the infection.

Denise- Sorry you have an infection That's yucky! I'm glad that the baby is in the right place though!

Leo went pee on the potty He has been sitting on it for a while but this was the first time he went!! SO excited! My mom wants to start putting him and my nephew in pull ups during the day!

Denise - Yay for seeing a flicker. LOL

Clare - OMG, OMG, OMG!!!! I am so beyond excited for you that I am now crying at my desk!!! I am so happy about the doubling numbers. Maybe twins?

Tasha - Yeah for being done with work.

Shannon- Hope you are feeling better.

Gigi - I hope you have gotten some rest.

Maureen - I hope you can get used to the pollen in that area so you do not feel this way all the time. Or at least maybe you can get some good drugs that will help ease the reaction.

Becky - YAY LEO!!!!

AFM: I talked to my BF and cleared the air about things. She siad she is just so busy with the twins that it is easier for others to call her then it is for her to reach out. I do not think she is intentionally trying to be hurtful so I am just going to drop the whole thing. I really think that she could reach out to me when the kids are at daycare twice a week but then again I do not know what it is like ot be her and she could have a million things on her mind during her time off from the kids. So i figure I will give her the benefit of doubt and move on. I will try to reach out to her more and maybe in 2 years when her twins begin kindergarten things will get easier for her.

DH and I have been trying very hard to work together. We each see the counselor this week alone so that will be intersting. Then we are back as a couple next week and we have to bring 10 things we like about each other and list of things we would want to change.

Brody is doing very well in daycare. He is such a sweet baby. My only problem is that I have begun to get nervous that he is going to think his daycare provider is his mommy since he spends so much time with her. I am terrified of losing that bond we have. Has anyone else felt that way? Everything worked out right? I know stupid question I just can not help it.

Denise - YAY!!!!about seeing a flicker. Sorry about the infection.

Stacey - glad things are doing good with you. I'm so excited to be out of work...

AFM - I'm doing okay today....i think Malika will be here soon. I've been have contractions I think...they aren't 5 minutes apart but I'm having them...

Tasha - I can remember one night thinking I was having really bad gas pains. I never for a moment thought it was contractions but looking back on it now I know it was because my early labor felt the same way. I am so excited for you!! I can not wait to hear all about your birth story and see pics of that baby.

Becky ~ yay for Leo going on the potty. I have the potty chair in our bathroom and what does Alexa do? She pulls the soft ring that she's supposed to sit on out and chews on it - yuck.

Stacey ~ don't worry about Brody...he knows who his mama is!!

Natasha ~ oooh, I'm excited. We are on Malika watch!!

Yay Leo! What a big boy!

Denise - glad the baby is there and where it should be. sorry bout the infection though

I am sssooo exhausted right now, midnight Tuesday morning Aislynn decided that it was time to wake up and play, so I was up with her all night. Then went up and painted our room the second coat which looks much better now, unloaded some boxes and came home. Aislynn slept in the van on the way home so she didn't want to go to sleep last night, so I was up with her again the most of the night.

Today I need to pack anything that we do not need in the next couple of days. Tomorrow we will be going up to the house to get things moving further up there, spending the night, finishing up some things there and then coming back here Friday to break down beds and stuff for the movers Saturday morning. Then Sunday back here for last minute things that were found while moving furniture...lol...and cleaning. Rob's mom was figuring that she and I would come down to clean during the week...uuummm...I do not see that happening b/c we would have to bring the kids and they would be very underfoot...

i need some more coffee...sssooo tired...check in with everyone later, we have internet at the new house already so it will not be long til I am on again after tomorrow morning...or even Friday night...Rob and I seem lost without our computers...lol
