Hi Jessica, I'm glad that you are working steadily towards your weight loss goal!! Good luck at the doctor also. Hopefully its just stress and once your life is less hectic, your body will go back to normal also. Lots of baby dust to all of us!! Regina

[Sarah_84]

Jessica, that is really scary about the lesions! I'm so glad Tristan was safe and I'll be praying that that has nothing to do with it this time. Please let us know as soon as you visit the Gyno. xoxoxo

Regina, I'm glad that you're coping alright. I'm still really dissapointed for you but I know your time is right around the corner! xoxoxox

Take care ladies!

[Sarah_84]

Hi girls! I had my appointment this morning and we're all clear to go! AF just arrived today too, perfect timing!!! (Its so weird being excited that af has come! lol!). I was hoping AF got heavier today cause then we could start the injections tomorrow but it's not heavy enough yet so I'll probably start them the day after then I'll go in for a scan on the 21st and see what's happening. If all goes well, I'll have my IUI in about 2 weeks. Yay! I hope you both are going well! Take care! xoxoxoxo

[babyplease]

Hey Sara!! I am so happy for you YEAH !!!! Finally some good news. I hope everything goes great for you. My prayers are with you and I know you will get back on track. I am doing fine and just not worrying. I should be ov next week sometime but I'm not going to put any pressure on myself this month. I feel much better than I did and I will be raring to go again next cycle. I am not going to do anything to prevent pregnancy this cycle but i'm not going to stress about it. Things are much better with DH and I feel closer to him than ever. I think that the less stress approach will benefit us more. I hope you keep up the positive attitude and remember, we have several months left before 2008 is over!! We will get a positive BFP!! I just know it. Hugs and Kisses Regina

[Sarah_84]

Hi! I'm glad you're well! That stress free month will probably do you the world of good. And hopefully as an added bonus you'll get a bfp out of it!!! I started the injections last night so fingers crossed that it will take less than 4 IUI's this time. Take care! xoxoxo

Jessica, how are you going? Have you seen your Gyno yet. Thinking of you! xoxoxo

Praying for all 3 of us!

[Mom2MandyandTristan]

Hey Sarah
Glad to hear such great news!!! I am so excited and happy to hear this news.
Hey Regina
Glad to hear that you and dh are getting closer. Being more laid back is always a good thing, stress can mess us up so much.
Nothing new here. I havent seen the gyn yet cause I got AF again. I will make an appointment for next week. I was also overwhelmed with Tristan's urology appointment and the fact that he needs surgery. It's getting easier to deal with now. We also had our housewarming this weekend so I didn't get much of a chance to think about me or the surgery. It was nice to be with family and friends. Of course a few people asked when Mat and I were going to have #3 and I just smiled and said when it's meant to happen :-)
So over all it seems like a lot of positive stuff is happening her with all of us, how wonderful!!!

[Sarah_84]

Hi Jessica! Is Tristan ok? What's the surgery for? I'm glad the house warming went well and I'm glad that you were able to give people that answer about #3, it's so much easier. Almost everyone knows about what we are going through so when they ask, it's always details that they're after. I don't mind most of the time because it makes people more aware that it doesn't come easy for some but other times I just don't want to talk about it but I have too. On days like that, I just try and change the subject. Have you heard from Regina at all? I'm worried about her.
I had my appointment this morning and I've got 3 follies growing on the right!!! The leading one is at 14mm and the other 2 are just over 12mm! I'm so happy! I just hope that the smaller ones don't stop growing. I have another u/s on Sunday morning at 7am and probably trigger Sunday night for IUI on Tuesday morning if all goes well! What have you got planned for the long weekend? I'm just gonna relax! Take care! xoxoxo

[babyplease]

Hi Ladies!! Sorry I've been away, I have alot going on at work and haven't even had time to think ! I guess that's actually a blessing!!

Sara, I am so glad to hear that you are doing well!! Your follicles are looking good and I am sure things will only get better. Remember that we still have plenty of time to get a bfp and it WILL happen SOON!!!!
I am so excited for us because we hve positive attitudes and no matter what happens we always find a way to bounce back stronger than ever. I am doing just fine so don't worry. You know if something were wrong I would have been here crying my eyes out and begging for help!! LOL You of all people know that. DH and I are still great and we are going to take everything in stride. No pressure, no trying to keep a schedule. I don't want this to cause problems in our relationship and I know that we will get pregnant soon. If I start to get impatient, we will discuss things again and take another step ( after I complain and wine to you guys ). Stay positive and focused and with all the praying we are doing for each other it will happen for us all!! Sending you big Hugs and Kisses since I've been missing for so long!!
P.S. Thanks for caring about me. That really makes me feel good!!

Jessica, I'm so sorry to hear about your son needing surgery. Like Sara said, what's going on with him? I hope it's nothing too serious!! I 'm glad that you have an appt. with the doctor. Has your period been irregular this whole time? Or are you kind of on track now?? Maybe things will be better since your all moved in and settled now. Glad to hear that your party went well. Getting everything together can be a pain!! Let us know how everything goes with your baby. I will pray for him and you to get through this. By the way, great answer to the baby #3 question. Why can't people see how rude that is and mind their own business?? Oh well, I hope everything keeps improving for you and your family and my prayers are with you.

P.S. How's the weight loss going?

Regina

PPS. Sara, I am SOOOO jealous that you have a long weekend!! Can you believe I actually have to work on Good Friday???

[Mom2MandyandTristan]

Hey Girls
As for Tristan's surgery he has a condition where he has a bend in his penis that will cause erectile problems and pain if not corrected now. Also his hole is not in the right place but the urologist thinks he doesn't have to fix that just the bend. His surgery date is 4/15 (how fitting that an accountant's son would have surgury on tax day). I feel so bad like something I did caused this. I was on alot of drugs while pregnant and even had surgery and was a little stressed out too during the pregnancy so I can't help but feel I did this to him. It hurts my heart to know he has to go thru this but I know it's for the best. Thank you girls so much for the thoughts and prayers.
Anyway on a brighter note, Sarah that is some good news!! I am so excited for you!!! Regina Glad to see you are ok and still moving forward with a strong attitude (both of you for that matter). You girls are my heros, if you both can go forward and be positive I can too (I'm usually not the positive one in the family lol but I'm trying to change that).
Regina don't feel too bad cause I have to work Friday too. I don't mind though because I only work part time.
Let me get yur opinions on this...I was thinking of going back full time so hubby can stay home during the day with Tristan, is that wierd? You see hubby HATES his job and I don't blame him. He wants to go back to school for computers (with my encouragement). Do you guys know of any other stay at home dads?
Ok so what's everyone's plans for Easter?? We are going to Brooklyn NY to my bro & SIL's for dinner.

[Sarah_84]

Hi girls! I'm really sorry that you both have to work on Good Friday! That really sucks!

Regina, I'm glad that you're ok! I should have known that you were because like you said, you would have been on here asking for advice and stuff! lol! I love the attitude that you are taking with this cycle and I'm really praying that it pays off!!! I'm the opposite, I'm so worked up and excited to be trying again that I just know it's gonna hit hard if it is a BFN but I'll deal with that if it happens. Until then, only positive thoughts!!! Sending lots of hugs and kisses back!

Jessica, I'm sorry to hear about Tristan. My DH had the same problem when he was young and had surgery to fix it (they had to move his hole). He's fine now and you'd never know that he'd if had surgery down there. That was almost 30 years ago so tristan should be fine now because they know heaps more about what they're doing. I'll be praying that it all goes smoothly and isn't too painful for him. Please don't blame yourself! You didn't do this to him!!! I'm sure he will be fine! As for the stay at home thing, I think that's a great idea. I don't know anyone personally in that situation but I've heard of people that do it that way. In the long run, it'll be way better for you guys. When DH finishes studying, you will be way better off and Dh will be a lot happier with the work that he's doing. I say, if you can afford to do this, go for it! Take care! xoxoxo

[babyplease]

Hey Ladies,
Sara, don't worry about a thing!! If you get a BFN this cycle you KNOW that we will be here to pick you up!! As far as I am concerned we are sisters struggling for the same thing which makes us even closer. When one falls, the rest of us pick that person up and clean their wounds so they can bounce back again!! You know as much as we've cried and vented together that if need be we can do it again. You would be excited because this is the first time you are getting back on the horse since your fall. Anticipation is going to be heightened because of your experience. It's going to be okay though. Just wait and see and if you get a BFP, Wonderful!! If you get a BFN, okay, so you try again. Stay positive.

Jessica, I too am sorry to hear about your baby. I hear that is a pretty common thing though so try not to worry and please don't blame yourself. Just remember that this is something that can and will be corrected. Thank God that it's not something more serious or something that will effect him forever. Parents always tend to blame themselves when something happens to their children but it is not your fault. You love him dearly and he is God's child. That makes him perfect no matter what. I will pray that the surgery goes well and he does not have any pain. You either!! I can only imagine how difficult it is when your child has to go through surgery.
As far as your husband, why not? What does he plan to do in the computer industry? My husband works with computers also. He is a Sytems Administrator and Networking Engineer. The IT field is a a good career choice because technology will always be in demand. Good for you guys!! I am sure you guys will do well no matter what your decision is.

How was Easter for you ladies? Mine was okay but my DH's cousin came to dinner with her new baby. I usually have holidays at my house but my mother in law was trying to give me a break so she had it ( Yuck!!! I don't care how tired I am. From now on I will cook!!LOL). Anyway, his cousin brings her new daughter, who she repeatedly calls an oops, and she made me so angry with her lack of care. Once again I wondered why people who shouldn't have any children have them!! My husband was sweet though. Before we left our house to go over there he tells me very cautiously that she's coming with the baby. I said "okay", I mean I don't have a problem with her and he tells me that he was only checking to see if I would be alright with her bringing her baby. He said he just didn't want any unnecessary stress on me or for me to get sad. I thought that was sooooo sweet!! I was totally fine but it was nice to know that he cared and supported me emotionally. He was willing to just stay home and not go to his mother's house if I would have said so. Now that's sweet!! I was so happy I didn't know what to say. That meant so much to me that I got through the whole day without getting sad once. I got mad at her for being a stupid parent but that was it. I swear, why are these people allowed to have kids and we struggle???!! I guess we will never know the answer.

Oh well ladies, I have rambled on long enough. I hope you guys had a nice Easter and are staying positive.
Sending you big Hugs and Kisses Regina

[Mom2MandyandTristan]

Hello Ladies
Thank you both for making me feel better about Tristan and for the thoughts and prayers.
Tristan's first easter was well depressing. We were supposed to go to my bro's house well the night before my SIL & nephew got a stomach bug. My grandmother also got sick and Tristan had a dry cough so to avoid anymore contamination we stood home. We just moved 3 weeks ago so we don't belong to a church in our neighborhood yet either. We are planning a "makeup" dinner hopefully next weekend (if everyone manages to get better and not get sick again).
Hubby was thinking of servicing computers. He is good at taking them apart and putting them together. I'm better at software (I went to school and got a triple major, law accounting and computers). I work in accounting now but I'm hating it myself.
I'm glad we're doing well this week and everyone is feeling so positive. Hopefully all this postive vibes will bring us wht we want.

[Sarah_84]

Hi girls!

Jessica, I'm so sorry that your Easter was not to good. I hope that everyone is feeling better soon and you can all make up for it. I saw your weight loss ticker, Way to go! Congrats, you're doing really well! xoxoxo

Regina, thanks! I know you both will be here for me! That was so sweet of your husband! I love it when they do things like that, it's so thoughtful! I'm glad that you had a good Easter! (apart from the stupid mum!).

I don't know if I had a good Easter or not! The day was ok but I had my scan at 7 in the morning and my IUI got cancelled because I ended up with 5 mature follies on my right. She said that there's no way they'll go through with it with that many follies. DH and I decided to BD anyway because with his swimmers and my endo, I think the chances of more than 3 sticking are 0. I had a positive OPK 2 days ago and we BD'd everyday for 3 days before that so I'm really praying that it works. I think with 5 follies, my chances have to be pretty good!

Take care! xoxoxoxo

[Mom2MandyandTristan]

Hey Sarah
I love the last line of your signature (bding like rabbits). I just hope all that bding works and you get you BFP soon. Oh how sweet would that be.

[Sarah_84]

Thanks! I was hoping someone had a giggle at that! lol! I just saw your thread bout Tristans haircut, he is soooo cute! And I'm gonna be tellin my baby(ies) the same thing, no growing up until I say it's ok! lol! Take care! xoxoxo
