Hi Jessica, I'm glad Tristan is doing well and I'll be praying for good news at his appointment! xoxoxoxo

Regina, OMG! I want to go and strangle her too! I'm sorry that you had to go through that. If that ever happened to me I would not change my chosen name and I'd tell her that too. I'd just calmy mention something about 'Oh, I love that name that's why I choose it too! I hope it doesn't get too confusing for the kids when I eventually have my Logan'! This way you're letting her know that you will still keep it and if she has a problem with it then she should change it. I can't believe how selfcentered she is! I wish I was there to slap her for you! sending you a big hug! xoxoxoxo

[babyplease]

Hi Sara, Thank you so much for your support!! I knew my sister would back me up and help me slap her!!lol I tell you, I am sooo upset with her!! I have to dig deep to keep be able to be in the same room with her now. I don't know how I am going to handle it once her son is born in July. It's not his fault that his mom is an inconsiderate idiot!! I just can't believe that she actually doesn't see anything wrong with what she did!! I thought about what you said about me using the name also but I don't think I could. I was so heart broken. My DH said that we will pick something else when the time comes because he no longer likes the name either, ( I'm not sure if he really feels that way or is just trying to make me feel better) but I just think I'd rather choose something meaningful and wonderful. Logan brings bad thoughts now. Oh well, some people just don't get it.

How are things with you? You feeling okay? You sound good. I hope things are as good as they can be right now. I am doing okay. Just awaiting the dreaded AF in a couple of days. But like you said, it's the beginning of a new cycle, not the end. I thank you so much for your support and being a friend. I don't know what I would do without you. Your are such a comfort to me.

Sending you huge hugs and kisses!! Regina

P.S. Have you heard anything from Jessica?

[Mom2MandyandTristan]

Hey Ladies
Sorry I have been lost for a little while, things have been hectic. Actually I don't even know if they have been hectic or if this is just life lol. I know that sounds wierd and hope it makes sense. Tristan had his 10 day post op appointment today and everything is PREFECT!!! Thank you God. He is healing prefectly and can even take a real bath (my poor little stinker lol). We have been taking our walks at night and I have even been getting on my eliptical. We are also unpacking more boxes we have up in the attic.

So anyway Regina That is so messed up of this chick to do that but if it's any consilation I know 2 Logans too and they are some bad kids...like hanging from the ceiling fan bad. When the time comes you will find that prefect name for your little guy and it will have a whole new meaning. Or you could have a girl but do NOT tell her any name you pick not even of you plan on getting a dog...she is one of those chicks you need to keep at a distance.

Sarah You sounds like you are doing well over there. Any new news??

[babyplease]

Hi Jessica, I am sooo glad that Tristan is doing okay!!! I must tell you that I laughed out loud at the "don't even tell her your dog's name" comment! That was hilarious!! I am with you. won't be sharing anything else with her EVER!! And you are right, when the time comes we will pick something special and meaningful.

Again, I am happy to hear that all is well with you and family and that you are finding time to exercise!!!

I will check back later!!! Hugs and Kisses!! Regina

P.S. I keep hearing that "Logan's" all turn out to be bad kids. My husband told me the same thing!! Thank you for reenforcing that thought!!

Try to make sex more fun at the least fertile times of your cycle. Once you know you probably won't get pregnant then the pressure is off for that month (and even to a point right after Aunt Flow). Try to concentrate the babymaking to the middle of the month.

There’s an anonymous survey on infertility at OpinionDB that's very interesting and includes the effect on relationships. You can see the statistics once complete and it only takes a minute.

[babyplease]

Hi ladies, Just checking in to see how everyone is doing. AF arrived but I am okay. I am going to make an appointment to see gyne. I've noticed a lot of pelvic pain lately and starting to get a little worried. Probably nothing but I want to make sure. At least I'm hoping it's nothing. Oh well, we will wait and see. I hope you guys are okay. Sending hugs and babydust your way. Oh, by the way, I ordered some fertility blend so I will let you know if I notice any changes!! Regina

[Mom2MandyandTristan]

Hey Regina. How are you doing? How is the fertility blend?
Hey Sarah How are you? Any new news??

As for me same stuff different day, juts been busy with family and work. Hope you ladies are doing ok.

[babyplease]

Hi Jessica, I am doing okay. I just started the fertility blend so I don't really have an answer to how it works yet. I will be sure to keep you posted. I have been a little concerned because my cycle seems to have shortened again. I had a 25 day cycle last time and my body seems to be doing the same thing again this cycle ( can tell by cervical mucus ). I'm trying not to worry too much because normal cycles can range anywhere from 25 to 32 days but now I have to adjust when I think I will ovulate. It's much earlier in the cycle now. I'm thinking day 10 or 11. Oh well, I will just use opk again and see what happens.

I see you are very busy. I hope Tristan is healing okay. Keep up the exercise so you can join Sara and I with ttc!!! I hope you had a good week and take time out for yourself. We all need to be pampered from time to time.

Sara, I hope things are improving with you. Please let me know that you are okay.

Big hugs and kisses to you ladies!!! Babydust to us all!!! Regina

[babyplease]

Hi ladies, Just checking in to see how everyone is doing. It's been awhile since I've heard from you. I hope you are both fine. I am doing okay myself. Life is just going along.

Big hugs and kisses to both of you ladies Regina

[Mom2MandyandTristan]

Hey Regina
All is well here. Just living life and waiting and hoping as usual. I haven't heard from Sarah in a while, I hope you're ok!! I'm really hoping you have success with this fertility blend. I'm also looking in to accupuncture and learning some meditation from my dad (I'm just a naturally wound up person). Hubby doesn't want to seek help until we have been trying for at least a year so that leaves us TTC naturally until December (I keep thinking how cute to get preg in my bday month and deliver in my mom's bday month plus it won't interefere with school for my oldest lol). I'm moving VERY sowly with the weight loss but have been trying to exercise more especially with summer around the corner. I'm also keeping myself busy with planning Tristan's 1st bday party (next month) lol. What's new with you??
Sarah hope you post soon!! We miss you!!

Hugs, Love, and lots of to all!!!

[Sarah_84]

Hi girls! I'm still alive! lol! It sounds like lots has been going on. Jessica, I'm so glad that Tristan has recovered well. How could he not with all the prayers and support that you and him have been receiving! December will be here before you know it so just keep on BDing till then and we'll be praying that you do fall naturally so that you wont even have to worry about seeing an RE. Regina, I'm glad that you're going to try fertility blend. It's meant to be pretty good. I'll be praying that it works for you and fast. I agree with the name thing, you will find another name that you fall in love with. I've never met a Logan before but I'm sure they're all horrible! lol! I hope your cycles even out again on the fert blend.

As for me, I'm still just stuck here in limbo doing nothing. Every now and then I'll get a slight cramp and think that AF is on the way but she just isn't showing. I'm gonna give it one more week then call the RE for a scan and to see if the cysts are gone if she can give me those tablets that make AF come. I feel so hopeless just waiting, it's getting really frustrating. Apart from that I've just been keeping really busy at work to try and make the time go faster.

Take care girls! xoxoxoxo

[babyplease]

Hi Sara, I'm sorry to hear that you have still not gotten AF. Hopefully you will get it soon. With or without medical help. I'm am glad that you sound somewhat positive though. You and I are doing the same thing trying to keep busy to take our minds off things. I'm a little depressed with mother's day and all but overall I think we are all handling things well.

Jessica, just keep positive. You will lose the wieght necessary to conceive and probably not even need medical help!! Right now you have a lot of things going on but once things settle down you will be more focused on your personal goal. I am sure of it!!

I want to thank you ladies for getting me through the incident with my so called "friend". I felt so much better after I communicated with you guys and got your support. You even made me laugh. So I thank you again. What would I do without you!!

Lots of hugs, kisses and babydust ladies!!! May we all reach our goal soon!!! Regina

[Mom2MandyandTristan]

Hey ladies sorry I haven't been posting. I have been reading posts but not responding. This week has been been full of surprises..I was laid off on Monday. I knew business was bad but I thought the accountant would be a safe position for a while since the owners are complete idiots that don't even know how to balance a check book but I guess when you sell overly expensive but ugly furniture in this economy you're bound to not make money. So I have been a stay at home mom again and I have forgotten how hard it is to be home, I have always been a workaholic but since Tristan I only went back part time but I still find working easier than being home all day with the kids. Not in a bad way but the weather here has been bad so I can't take them to the park or to the boardwalk so we have been stuck indoors all day. Tristan has 2 more teeth coming in so he is crabby and not sleeping as well. He gets up at 12,4,6,and then 8 am and fights me at nap time even though I know he's gotta be exhausted. It's cool to be with him all day and see the new cute things he's trying and doing though. I'm almost done with all the details of his bday party coming up in 3 weeks, I can't believe how fast time flies. I have been submitting my resume and have gotten some phone calls back and even interviews but I am very impatient and I just hope by the end of this month if not sooner I'll be back to work. I still work my one day a week job but it's only 5 hours a week. I'm thinking maybe even going back full time but you know this definitely means our plans for the new addition has to be put on hold & that hurts my feelings more.
Sorry to be such a downer...I just needed to vent. I hope you ladies are doing well. Anything new??? I hope after this depressing week at least you all have some good news to share.

[Sarah_84]

Hi ladies!

Regina, I'm sorry you were feeling down on mothers day, I completely understand. It was hard and it always will be until we are able to celebrate it ourselves. I was actually more depressed in the days leading up to it. On the day I was ok, I just tried to pretend that it wasn't mothers day, I just went to visit my mum and have fun. I'm over there almost every weekend so it wasn't really different apart from taking her over a card and present. How are you going with your cycles? Mine still hasn't come so I'm seeing my ObGyn on Tuesday morning and hopefully I'll get the all clear to get it started with tablets. I'm glad that we made you laugh with the whole 'friend' incident! I still get mad when I think of that!

Jessica, I'm so sorry you lost your job! That's horrible! I'm sure you'll find another job fast and I pray that it's part time so that you can still TTC as soon as possible!

I've still been keeping myself busy at work and at home. At work I've been given a sort of promotion (same pay but more responsibility) so I'm training up a new girl to be my assistant but in the meantime doing it all myself and at home I've been working on a forum like this one but for Australians (anybody is welcome though) because I love this forum and we don't have anything like this over here. Don't worry, I'll never leave this forum and I wouldn't try and steal anyone from here either . If you cant find me here I'll be on mine Fertility Friends Australia
Feel free to pop in and let me know what you both think of it. I'd love to hear any suggestions for it as well.

I'll let you both know how I go on Tuesday morning . xoxoxoxoxo

[babyplease]

Hi Ladies!!

First of all... Jessica I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your job. Unfortunately that is a story that so many people are telling right now with the economy the way that it is. Hopefully you will find something new soon, something better than your past employer and that can give you the flexibility that you need so you can ttc when you are ready. I'm glad that your baby is okay though and that you get to spend so much more time with them. I know I used to love when my mom was home with me when I was little.

Sara, You have the patience of a Saint!!! You are so gracious and calm. I am so proud of you right now. You are doing well even though times have been rough. You are such an inspiration to me and you should be to all the other ladies as well. I hope everything goes well this week and you get help from your DR. so you can get AF. Who would think we would actually WANT to get AF?!lol Geez!!! What have we become? Ha, Ha.

I am okay. I got AF on Monday so we begin again. I am not taking the Fertility Blend as recommended. It says to take 3 tablets per day but they give me indigestion so I only take 1-2 pills per day until I ovulate. I read that you are not supposed to take if you are or could be pregnant so just to play it safe. I stop after I think I've ovulated. I am also going to start using this stuff called pre-seed. It's supposed to a safe internal lubricant that helps the sperm travel easily to where it needs to be. Unlike most lubricants it's not harmful to sperm and it's easier on me. You know when ttc your not always ready and able. This helps with that problem. I am scheduling an appt. with DR. I haven't decided what I want to do yet. Not sure what the next step will be. DH and I haven't discussed it lately. So I will let you guys know.

I hope you are both well and hang in there ladies. Lets not give up!!!

Hugs, Kisses and Babydust!!! Regina
