Seren I'm so sorry.

velvet I too miss the innocence of pregnancy. I had a m/c at 6 weeks before Nate, so once I got past 6 weeks, I felt "safe". Now that I've m/c at 12 weeks, I don't think I'll feel safe until I have a healthy baby in my arms. I'll have to admit though, that with our TTC history, I'm beginning to feel that he may be an only...

This is going to be a wierd week for me. I have to work a few days, but Tom is out of town and my daycare provider is away, so Nate will be going to various friends of mine for the days. I'm really stressed about how he's going to do. I'll be able to update the one thread each morning at the very least, so if I don't make a change within 24 hours, please PM me to make sure I didn't miss something. Thanks!

Seren - I am so very sorry for your loss. s to you and your family

I didn't write everything else down. I am sorry for not keeping up better. Have you ever met a mother that you wanted to strangle? I am not a violent person, but I could absolutely strangle this woman. Her story starts at 15 when she became preggo and gave thta baby up for adoption. Then, by the time she was 17 she had had a miscarriage and 2 abortions. When I met her, she was 18 and had just (within 6 weeks) had another miscarriage. I was 30 weeks preggo and on complete bedrest with my ds. At her six week checkup she found out that she was preggo yet again and decided to keep this baby. I went into labor again at 32 weeks and was hospitalized. She came with her aunt and my mother to visit me (her aunt is my mother's best friend). I am laying in that hospital bed, on mag and all kinds of other *fun* drugs, trying to keep my baby boy in, where he belonged. She had been prescribed an antibiotic for an infection that she had. Her aunt tells her that she needs to take her meds and she replies...I am not taking them, I'd rather loose this baby than take those pills (it was amox.). I absolutely saw red. I told her to get out of my room or I would physically remove her from my room (yeah, this is funny cause I couldn't even get out of bed...Mag is some nasty, nasty stuff). Her daughter (whom she abandonded to her mother) is about 10 months old. She has had 2 abortions and is pregnant now....wanted an abortion, but the doc told her no because it was becoming detrimental to her health. I sit here in tears because awesome women, like the one's here, want babies so bad....and women like her. I can't even finish the though. I hope tha ti never see her again. I can't be sure how I would react. It makes me so very mad. Does that make me a bad person. I can't find it in myself to support her. I have talked to her mother about adopting her baby, when it's born. Her parents can't handle another baby. They are aging. But I don't want to do that if it means that this woman is going to be in my life...I don't think I could handle that.

Justice2: No you are not a bad person, that would and it does make me so angry. I just don't understand people sometime.

Sara - thanks for keeping the thread this week - could you move me from waiting to try to waiting to O? thanks

Seren, to you. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Laura, I personally can't see adopting a baby and not having that person (simply because you know her) in your life, so I suppose I'd avoid it. I wouldn't blame you for not doing it. You obviously have to struggle with this seemingly toxic person, so try to reduce the pressure on yourself. On the other hand, adopting that baby would offer the child much more than it sounds like they would get otherwise. to you. Sorry I don't have better advice.

Sara - thanks again for taking the thread this week! Let's see some BFPs!!! (Hopefully that faint-not-possibly-there-at-6dpo-but-maybe-there line that Jenn saw will become a really there line.

Personally, I'm feeling really good about getting my baby on this month. I can't wait for ovulation. Yesterday, we saw my step-sister with her children and DS wanted to hold the baby a LOT. It was so neat!!! Hopefully he wants one to come live with us (though I sincerely doubt he'll be thrilled to see a baby sleep in his bed and play with his toys and his mommy & daddy all the time, maybe it'd be okay every once in a while ).

Mucho for everyone!!!

[Stream]

Oh, Seren, very sorry for your loss.

[Celtic]

Why is it that the people who SHOULDN'T have children or DON'T WANT children...are always the easiest to concieve???????

Ugh...I'm cranky this morning...the ol right ovary is havin a party...a follicular conga line is what it feels like!

Seren ...Take care of yourself

Justice ...I would feel the same way. People like that make me want to


Lots and lots of thoughts and to everyone.

Aww c'mon ladies...lets have a !!

[babycarrier]

from last week's one thread...squeakermansmom - my dh works the 1st shift and I work the 2nd shift. I then usually end up in my ds bed for most of the night. my dh also has a 2nd job that takes up a bunch of nights. needless to say, i can easily see the 3x in a month comment!

seren - I'm so sorry for your loss. take care of yourself anyway you can best.

jess - sorry about the reboot. look forward to seeing you back on the posts. a break can feel good though. sorry you are feeling alone. it is so hard when 2 people are ttc, and one of them isn't always right on board sharing in the highs and the lows! a hug to you, from one jess to another

shannon - what kind of stuff can you do in the hospital. reading, puzzles, crafts? man, you have had one heck of a lot thrown at you this year. i think of your little bean and keep sending you sticky thoughts. you can do this momma!

i'm anxious to move to the waiting to o section. can I come play too? i have had a now going on 16 day period. have to call our mw tomorrow as that was the magic day to call if the bleeding hadn't stopped. she swears bc pills are the only way to get the bleeding to stop. says my body isn't making enough estrogen and probably having anovulatory cycles. only my 2nd one since april. any ideas? i want to be pregnant again. I want to be pregnant NOW. thank you.

farmlife- that sucks! You should talk to Shannon (Iris0110) because she had that bleeding problem after she lost Arawyn as well. She went on BCP's and then had a D and C. Hope it stops soon and for a long time (as in 10 months!)

[MelKnee]

Laura, you are not bad for feeling like that towards that woman. I know a woman who is similar and I don't like being around her.


Most of the time I am glad that I have long cycles because it means fewer periods. But, when I am TTC, it just drags on. It seems to take forever to get to O.
I want to test so bad, but I know it would be pointless. I will wait. I will wait.

[sweetc]

de-lurking for a moment

farmlife, I've been where your at (sort of). I had a miscarriage at 12 weeks the beginning of feb. I bleed for 13 days then stopped for two weeks, thought I was starting my period, but bleed for 25 days... ovulated, then started to spot/bleed 8 days later. I was being treated by an OB and a midwife/ND. I went with the ND's advice over the OBs. The OB wanted to do a D&C and put me on birth control pills - this didn't feel right. ND had me take two homeopathics, and drink a liver detox tea (to help my liver process all the hormones.)

Anyway, I had my first completely normal cycle the end of June. I had been ovulating and having normalish periods, but still spotting after my period and starting at about 8DPO up until then. My OB kept suggesting birthcontrol pills, but for someone who is trying to get pregnant, it just didn't make much sense. Plus, I've seen what some of the women here have to go through after being on birthcontrol pills. I felt that I'd rather wait a few more months for my body to figure it out with some herbal help than do bc pills.

Are you charting? I was ovulating even though the rest of my cycle seemed screwy. I hope you can find an answer and a way to stop all the bleeding. It is really tough to have that constant reminder that somethings not right.

I've also been thinking of Miz (Elena?) alot. I am really sorry that you are having all that spotting. I know what that is like. I was having spotting even though my 7DPO progesterone levels were fine. I started drinking a tea that my ND recommended and the spotting is gone. Let me know if you are interested in the tea.

Okay, heading back into lurk mode. Waiting to ovulate.

to everyone.

Christine

[Joi]

Ok, I know I am supposed to be taking time off but my chart is making me crazy. Yesterday I had a big temp drop and spotting and now I am up again................ I need to borrow someone's ovaries.

I am hoping to see some positives this week (my own wouldn't be bad either).


Korin ~ you lucky duck.

[Johanna]

Laura - I hear ya. I've seen so many people who just honestly don't care about their kids conceive easily. I wish I could say why. I really just don't know. Just tell her to give it to one of us

Joi - I'm happy to see you're still around. The reason I don't chart is because when I did it made NO SENSE. My temps are too erratic. I guess that's what I get for being a nightwaker/insomniac

As for me? I'm at CD7 and still bleeding pretty good. I guess that's what I get for not having a period for 2.5 months! But I have wonderful news </sarcasm> I have a yeast infection. I've had enough of them to self diagnose. Do you have to wait to treat it with the good ole 3 day treatment until I'm done bleeding? I can't afford to get medicine (or anything for natural treatment) until tomorrow.. even then, I don't have the money, but I'll just have to short my poor mother in law some money we owe her. I'll be happy to tell her why

I'm telling you. Nothing like 97 degree weather while bleeding and getting a yeast infection! WOOT!!!!!11111one

[HoosierDiaperinMama]

Yay! I'm so glad I got in on this thread on the first page!

Sara-I guess you can move me to the waiting to know list.

FF says I haven't ovulated but I know that I have. CM is back to dry, had o pain Thurs. and Fri. and lots of EWCM. My temps obviously don't reflect ovulation so I hope we timed it right!

Seren-I'm so sorry! Gentle 's

Laura-I would take those babies in a heartbeat! You are not a bad person at all! That would've made me angry too!

Tamra-Yes, we do need a !! I hope your day goes better.

Johanna-Ugh...yeast infection. I'm so sorry! 's Those are not fun! I hope you get to feeling better soon.

Lots of & to all!

[Velveteen]

Well, I just got an email from a friend who knows of my ttc trials. She said God must be saying "No" to my prayers.
I don't think so!!!! I think I have a hormonal imbalance despite my spot on cycles, or I'm just plain old too old, but I DON'T think I have a spiritual problem.
Korin, bet you can relate.

[babycarrier]

thanks for the replies. I am calling the mw tomorrow and I do not want to do bc pills again. I just did a d&c about 7wks ago and I've done a round of bc - yuck! I feel like I'm just coming "off" of them. She swears it is the only way, but that does not feel right! I'm going to look up a ND in my area, hopefully they will have some more suggestions. What is the liver detox tea you speak of? Is it a ready available tea?

thanks, hugs to all in need of one.

I just cry when I think of the babies being born to parents that just don't notice or care that they are around. My heart wants to take them all in. I worked at a kid's shelter for a while and it was unbelievable how many kid's parents just don't notice them or seem to remember they exist. And then those teenage girls that had been given up trying to have babies so "they had someone to love them".

sorry for the long vent. who's got the BFP for today?
