We are all here for the loss of our children. Some of us are begining again, and some of us are trying, some of us are just trying to cope. We support eachother through every moment of life now, maybe with a little help from Sandwaby ( stands for Sad and wanting a baby) or the rest of us in SANDHABY ( sick and having a baby) . And now we even have a STANDHABY ( second trimester and having a baby) . All os us have come a long way !!! We have become more then support....we have become friends. So either way, come on in and join us...everyone is welcome!!!! ?

BRYANDI, salmonella….wow!! Poor Rory. Little guy didn’t feel so good. Glad you both are doing better. I would be so happy to join you in Sandhaby! SHELLY! Gosh darn those tornados for keeping you up all night. Please, go away tornados so that Shelly and Carson can be safe. SHAB, yeah for the 3D tomorrow. That is so cool. You will be able to see Shireen’s face and beautiful body. Glad you have that AC turned on again. I don’t know what I would do if I didn’t have AC. DH and I sleep during the day and upstairs get so hot so we turn the air down real low when we sleep and this month’s electric bill was CRAZY! We may have to be hot. Also, when did you notice the lump? How does it feel? Does it move or is it stationary? Do you have any redness around the lump or any weird skin puckering? Is it painful? LEXXY, hope you are having a great vacation without AF and having a “good time” with your DH. JILL, how’s that belly growing? SHANA, glad you are resting. DH is so good to you. MISSP, glad you are with your mam (love that…never heard it before). MOMMYJOY, are you coming back? LISA, I was rereading your post earlier this thread and feeling just like you. I want to be a momma more than anything in the world but I don’t know if my heart can handle the heartbreak of losing my little baby again. I just have to think that this time I will have my baby and he/she will be beautiful. I am trying to think positively but sometimes I just feel discouraged. Ladies thank you for all your kind words and your body parts being crossed for me. I need it so bad. Today is cd9 and I will start opt tomorrow because I don’t want the clomid to effect the results (like I have clear results anyway). Love you all and hope you have a great Thursday.

JUDI SARA, haven't seen you in a while and wanted to see how you were doing? I think that you had some more Lupus testing at the beginning of June but haven't heard back from you. You had said that you were going ttc this month and just wondering how that was going??? Check in cycle buddy!

Erin, I noticed the lump about 4 or 5 weeks ago... When I saw the dr, she said it may just be from the underwire. It's on the outside of my right breast. it's pretty much stationary and about the size of a big green pea. theres no redness and nohing visible on the skin. I've always had lumpy breasts especially before i get AF... so i figured they would be lumpy during pregnancy but this lump in particular is hard, almost like a cyst. Dr. said that if it's not gone by my next appointment (june 23) she would send me for a mamo. I don't really know much about breast lumps so I am pretty much trusting the dr for now. The good thing is I am nearing the end of my pregnancy and as long as Shireen is ok then everything will work out just fine! i will check in later today. I have to get back to my class now... Almost done with this course!

Hi girls, sorry I have been MIA (again), with summer here, I have been spending alot of time outside and not on the computer, and work is crazy busy... ok enough excuses... SMMOM: I have a SIL alot like yours, she was my best friend all through Jr. High and High School, then she married my bro and moved away. I haven't talked to her in about 8 years now... its kind of sad, but at this point I am over it. She was always so competitive with me, she didn't like sharing the spotlight at all, always trying to outdo me, now she is out of my life, but unfortunately she took my brother with her. I still talk to him, but its not the same. Just know when someone is that competitive they are usually jealous and know they can't really compete with you.... so try and take it as a compliment, that will drive her more crazy! SHANAT: Glad your feeling better. Spotting is scary, especially for us girls. BRANDI: So glad your little guy is feeling better, what a scare.. there is nothing worse than a sick child. SHABNAM: Hope your us goes perfectly. Don't forget to post about your us... I am living vicariously through all you pregnant ladies right now! Well my DH and I have decided that we will give it another try, but now I have to wait until July to start trying because I have an MRI scheduled in two weeks and I will have already o'ed by then so if it did happen I shouldn't be going into an MRI machine, I need to get these tests done so I will have to suck it up and wait to try the following month. A week from tomorrow would have been my first due date, I find myself thinking about it alot lately. Any of you ladies feel that way? Your fine and you finally realize it doesn't creep into your mind every waking moment and you know your healing then BAM, you have one of those days where it hurts as much as when it first happened. I get those every once and awhile, it stinks! ERIN: I have everything crossed for you and yes its hard to get anything done! ha ha , I just know it will all work out for you. Its so hard to not know when or if it will ever happen. Like I said before I am going to try one more time and see what happens, but even though I am terrified, I feel like nothing great comes easy and I just know I am meant to have a baby and if I don't try again I will always have this void in me. I sometimes feel like I am a glutton for punishment, but its one of those personal decisions that even though you are aware how it could end, it could also end with a beautiful baby in your arms, the payoff is worth it.. at least one more time for me! Back to work! Bye girls - LIS

Wow....thread 24. We are getting old! I am sick today and feeling a little down about it. I mean, I'm 13 weeks and still barfing like I'm 7! I know everyone is different but I'm just ready to feel a little...just a little better. I am so tired of barfing here at work too. The bathroom is sooooo cold. Okay, enough. Done. Shelly, I'm sorry about all the crazy weather but at least your landscaping is done. That has to feel good. How's Dancing Carson? Any more run in's with the sisters? I'll bet that felt lousy. Glad everything is okay though. Erin, cd9...moving right along! Walking with crossed toes has gotten easier, the longer I practice. I only hope I'm not doing permanant damage. Might be worth it though if this is your magic cycle! Come on eggie! Bryandi, I hope Rory is doing better! That's scary and NO fun. Shana, how is everything going? No more spotting, I hope? MissP, seen any more docs yet? I can't believe that midwife was not more sensative. You would think in their profession they would be more so. Lexxy, how is vacation? Lisa, I'm sorry your due date is coming up. I know that is hard. Mine was hard although I was traveling that helped distract me but you sure can feel the saddness creeping up as the date approaches. I'll be thinking of you. I gotta run. I'm getting slammed with emails here at work girls but much love.

smmom - ick about the tornadoes. Hows a girls supposed to get any sleep like that anyway? Shab good to hear you are doing good still!
I bet you are super happy to have dh home again! Erin, when are you going to start bding? Do you have 28 day cycles or do you even know?
you better get pg this cycle, I think Jstay's feet might be permanently deformed if she has to do this another month! Judi, Erin is right....have you gotten your
test results back yet? How are you doing? Lisa, welcome back. I too have been trying to get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather we are having! It is fantastic.
It might be that maybe waiting another month is what your body needs! it is good that you are being cautious so you don't have the MRI when pg. So it will be an April baby for you!
Jstay, I am sorry you are still feeling the morning sickness soo much. I hope it goes for you soon. Maybe it will stick around until you can feel the little bean moving around inside of you
that way you will always have a constant reminder that he/she is doing great! So Rory is doing good. A lot better which is great because boy was our garbage starting to smell with 3 diarrhea
loaded diapers in there each day!!! I got my results back from my NT scan and they were NEGATIVE!!! yaay I am soo happy about that! We got to see a little bean that looked soo much more like a baby and got good test results.
Things are really starting to good for little bean! I am starting to feel more and more secure in my pregnancy. Also my doc told me I could stop the progesterone at 13 weeks (I must have misheard about the 14 weeks) so no more progesterone starting
tonight! MissP what's up girl? I know your busy, but check in let us know how things are! Lexxy, hope your vaca is nice and relaxing! Mrs. Hath.....thinking of you!

Hello ladies..this will be a quick post as dh needs the computer for work. So the tornado that bugged us last night....well it hit a small town about an hour and a half from here ( called LIttle Sioux). Well a tornado dropped down on a boy scout camp there. The camp was full of a 100 boy scouts. They luckily all ( barely ) had time to get to a shelter, however the shelter were just regular cabins. Well...the tornado destroyed several buildings in the camp, and one being where the boys were. 4 were killed and 48 injured. How sad and scary is that....they are just children!!! Well...it turns out that one of the boys that died was my cousin's son. So now I have to go to a 14 yr olds funeral. it is sooo sad. i just cant even imagine. So as scary as it was for me to go through all this...atleast I didnt lose my child. ANyways..... JILL...I am so sorry you are feeling sick.....mine didnt go away until 16 weeks....so hopefully soon for you. ERIN.....hang in there...only a few more days to bding...and I pray this is it for you !!!! SHAB.....so glad you get to see baby with dh again !!! How exciting...as for the lump...I pray it is absolutely nothing !!!! LISA>....glad to see you back !! And about your sil....that sucks also. Why cant people just act normal !!! Be happy for us with our good times !! BRYANDI.... soooo glad you got good news about you nt scan. That is wonderful !!!! OK ladies...sorry but I gotta give up the puter to dh !! 

Name: Erin_thenurse | Date: Jun 13th, 2008 7:40 AM
Ladies, I;m off for another quick vacation, just 5 days but I will try to keep up with all of you this week. Shelly, OH MY GOSH! I have been hearing about the tornado in Little Sioux all day long and hearing how the little boys tried to save each other. I am so sorry that your family was apart of that and your cousin's little boy went to heaven . I am so happy that you are ok. I can't believe that you are so close to such a bad tornado. Please be safe. I'm worried about you. Ladies, today is cd 10 and we will be bding everyday til cd19 or 20. I will start the opt today and hope for a (any)result. Have a good Friday ladies! 

Name: Shabnam | Date: Jun 13th, 2008 9:13 AM
Good morning all you beautiful ladies! SMMOM, wow that is so scary. My condolences for your family. It's always heartbreaking when children are involved. JSTAY, sorry you are still feeling sick! I am sure you will be feeling better soon... it's a matter of 1 or 2 more weeks i think. LISA, I'm glad to see you back. It's great you can enjoy being outside. I get way too overheated. So I try to stay where there is AC. I keep the one at home at 70 deg and i think its hot. But dh will turn into a popsicle if i put it any lower. BRYANDI, i'm happy to hear Rory is doing better. Also happy your NT results came back negative. I totally understand what you mean by feeling more secure in your pregnancy. Erin, hope you will enjoy your 5 days. Have fun bding. My dh is always worried about hurting the baby so our intimacy is limited to cuddling. SO ANNOYING!!! lol It's all good though. The important thing is he's back. And I am soooooooo much more relaxed. I can concentrate on my studying and on the baby! Speaking of studying, it's back to class for me. Have a great day ladies! 

Name: lisamc | Date: Jun 13th, 2008 10:32 AM
Hi girls! BRANDYI!!!!! I couldn't be more thrilled about your NT results, you deserve all the good news you can take! That is just the best. So happy for you and DH! SMMOM: I too have heard all about that tornado on the news, so sad. All I can think of is the poor parents, I am really sorry your cousin lost his son. I can't even imagine how devastating it is. Really sometimes when you hear of a tragedy that happened to someone else, it really helps put your own life in perspective. I mean yes we all have something that we have to deal with, but it can always be worse... my prayers are with you and all the families who lost their children. ERIN: Enjoy your vaca! With all that bding you should have no problem catching that egg! I am still crossing everything for you. SHABNAM: The heat bothers me too , but only if I am doing something. If I am just laying out or relaxing I just love it. I eat my Popsicles on the deck and watch my DH work in the yard, love it when the toolbelt comes out and the shirt comes off! I am lucky he doesnt' mind me not helping all the time and doesn't seem to notice me ogling him from the deck. Ok ladies... happy Friday!!!! 

Name: Judi Sarah | Date: Jun 13th, 2008 12:20 PM
i have been wanting to check in, but life got in the way, haha. i can't respond to everyone but i want to say thank you to ERIN, J STALEY, BRYANDI and SMMOM for thinking of me. I got the lupus info back and it turns out that i don't have lupus, yaaay! but now they think my "anti ro antibodies" are elevated, which may have caused my late/2nd trimester mc. so now we need more bloodwork and i have to see a special specialist in NYC who doesn't take insurance and will cost me $450! if it apparently, high "anti ros" can cross the placenta and slow the baby's heart rate until it stops. fortunately, even if that is the case, they can help me for next time around by seeing me every week once i get pg, God willing, and monitoring the baby's heartrate. if it starts slowing, they have to give me steroids. ERIN - to answer your question about ttc this month, i wish! it seems like i am not ovulating so i may also have to take clomid. ERIN - enjoy your vacation! J STALEY - hope you feel better. SMMOM - i am so sorry about your cousin's son, i will email you. BRYANDI - yaaay on your NT scan results! SHABNAM - i can't believe you're near the end of your pg! exciting! LISA - you're too funny about ogling your dh! haha. LEXXY - as i understand it, you are on vacation, i hope you are having a great time! i know i have missed a number of you, i will chime in again and next time will be sooner! please keep praying! 

Name: Judi Sarah | Date: Jun 13th, 2008 12:28 PM
ok, i went back to skim the old posts and just wanted to say MISSP - i am so happy you are back home!!! yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! it must have been great to come back after so long! and SHANA - awesome news on dh's test and on you seeing your bean! how amazing. ladies, some of you need to pick your prayers up a notch b/c the rest of us want to get pg asap!!! and be more generous w/handing out baby dust!  

Name: karebear25 | Date: Jun 13th, 2008 3:46 PM
i am sort of in the same boat. i had my D&C on April 20 and still haven't had AF yet. i finally took a pg test yesterday, and it was positive!! now i am not sure what to do other than call my Dr. I just don't want another mc to happen again. i heard there is no more risk getting pg before the af, than after. Does anyone have any advice? 

Name: Bryandi | Date: Jun 13th, 2008 10:22 PM
Oh smmom how terrible. It is very sad when horrible things happen to kids. I am sorry that your family had
a loss due to the storm. That is sooo sad. Things like this make you want to lock your kids up at home to protect them...
you would have thought letting your kids go to scout camp would be safe and productive for them and instead is deadly. I am thinking of you
and your cousin and all the other parents out there who are suffering. Erin...should we do a little cheer for your bd'ing marathon? Make every
one count!!! It has gone by so fast! You will be in the 2ww before you know it! Shab have fun studying!! LOL maybe all the schooling and studying while
pg will give you a brain child!!! LOL LISA ogling your hubby! That is awesome! Judi glad to hear from you again. I am glad that you don't have lupus! I hope they can find
the issue and help you deliver a healthy baby! Karebear, some people seem to do just fine after conceiving before the first period. good luck I hope you are one of them. have you told
your doctor you are pg yet? 

Name: smmom2 | Date: Jun 13th, 2008 11:15 PM
Hello ladies...thanks to all of you for your support with my family. it is so hard to think of the fact that he was so young. ANd to die in such a horrible way. Well...any way. ERIN....yey...bding time!!!!...I am totally cheering you on and praying for a BIG 'O" this time !!! I really really hope you and JUDY make healthy babies this cycle !! SHAB.....I feel the same way as you. I can not seemt o stay cool. I have the ac set on 76...I had to turn it to 74. DH wont let me go any lower....well...I sweat all day long !! It is aweful !!! I even talked to my OB about it... I even have to wear dh's deodorant. Ahh..the things we do for our babies !!! LISA>...lol about oogling your dh..... Funny !!I ooggle my dh also when he does manly work....just not when he s all grimey ! BRYANDI...how are you feeling?? JILL...how are you feeling today??? Did everyone survuve the 13th?? KAREBEAR.... I am sorry for your loss. My advice to you would be go straight to your dr. They can test your HCG levels and make sure they are rising. And possibly provide you with progesterone( a hormone to help things stay sticky. ALso....they will want to monitor you more closely !!! I am 29 weeks pg with my 4th child...I lost my 3rd I feel pg again right after my first af. Whether or not it makes a difference....that is up to your body. Every woman is different. And so is every pg. So all I can do is say, get to your dr asap and try to stay as positive as possible. I wont tell you it can not happen again. cause it can. whether or not you have had one or 5 af's...it can happen again. But your best bet is to get to your dr. Congrats on your bfp by the way !!! Ok ladies..I am off to bed....

Hi girls, first chance in ages ive had to check in and theres so much to read! Smmom im sorry about your cousins little boy - so sad. I can relate to the temp you and shabnam, hey try living in 40degrees then you can complain!! Im enjoying the nice 20 degrees we have here. Hmm i think thats about 75 isnt it? Who knows. Lisamc good to hear your back and feeling more positive. And good your getting some answers. Judisarah, thanks for checking in and of corse we were all thinking of you. Thats what were here for. Plus to moan and complain about our own problems hehe. Erin, good luck trying this month!! bring on the babydancing. Bryandi - congrats on your nt scan! what a relief. Jstaley, sorry your still barfing. Mine wore off about 16/17wks. Carebare - it could be your hcg hasnt gone down to zero yet so i would definitly get to the docs to determine which on it is. I hope it works out for you!! So - about me, we are just focusing on getting dh some work, trying not to argue with my dad (which is hard - he winds everyone up) while in return, being gratefull that we have a place to live! Also still waiting to be seen by a consultant - yes, so much for the better care that id get in th UK. I think i felt better back in DR. Here your just a number. They dont seem to be bothered about my conditions at all and i havent even had anyone check the heartbat yet. Just aswell hes kicking away then isnt it otherwise i would b in a right state and would have gone screaming down to the ER demanding attention. I finally got the hospital to find my notes and they said it would be monday at the earliest before i can see the consultant. So im remaining calm, resting and drinking, until then. Well im trying. I kep getting teary about it but i guess thats a pregnancy thing and because im tired from the travel still. If i get the slightest indication theres anything wrong im going to be straight there. Tylers bouncing around quite a lot now, i feel him a lot and have had some really big kicks that people have noticed from the outside. Yes, i have a footballer. Thats soccer to you US ladies! Also ive had a lot of pains down there and sometimes feel like if i get any bigger il explode. Is this going to be a constant feeling from now on as i have at least 3 months to go??? Also, i know this is a bit tmi but on the odd occasion me and dh are attempting to have an intimate moment (which we are keeping to a minimum due to my low fluid thing) im finding it very difficult to do anything, just very tight and a bit dry - dosnt help that dh is a big boy of corse, but even so, i didnt have this problem before. Anyone else found that? Sorry its TMI!!!! Hope everyones enjoying the weekend and the nice weather altho it just started raining here) x x 

Name: smmom2 | Date: Jun 14th, 2008 9:27 AM
Morning ladies. MISSP.....glad to see you are both getting adjusted. I really dont understand the care they are giving you..or lac thereof. I think I would demand some attention no matter what. See...in the US...you go to an OBGYN doc....they see you once a month and then in the last trimester every two weeks and last month it is every week. I have found atleast my doc to pay alot closer attention to me since my m/c . SO maybe you should move on and get a second opinion....or another doc. I would not be happy with that. As for trying to be intimate during pg...being dry and tight is totally normal. It is like your body is saying ....NOPE...I am already busy !! I think there are products that can help you with that. As for the temperature....it has been 90 degrees here or over. And the humidty here makes it about 115 degrees. I am not joking. I live in the midwest....so humidty is bad here in the summer. I dont know what that breaks down to in celcius...sorry missp. Anyways...I am doing ok today. I think I am going to relax a bit today..something I dont get to do much. Father's day is tomarrow...and I dont know what DH wants to do. Hopefully we wont have any more damn tornadoes....then we can have a peacful weekend !! 

Name: Shabnam | Date: Jun 14th, 2008 10:10 AM
Good morning ladies. MissP, I'm glad you are getting settled in the UK. I would be a bit more demanding with the healthcare though. Then again, if Tyler is kicking then, he is probably doing good!!! I can so relate to the dryness and tightness. It's the same thing for us. As for the pain down there, I've also been getting that and it's been weeks and weeks. You kinda get used to it and start moving in ways that hurt less. My doc sais it's pretty much normal and will go away after delivery. Judi, its great to hear from you. You know i'm always praying and sending babydust... oops dh sais its time to go ill catch up later 

Name: smmom2 | Date: Jun 14th, 2008 12:31 PM
afternoon ladies....we tend to get quiet on the weekends. MISSP...I forgot to add....that pains are very normal...Tyler is putting alot of pressure on you down there...and the bigger he gets ( ie...the bigger you get) the more you will feel it. I have a ton of cramping all the time...it sucks. Plus the feeling of a bowling ball on my pelvic area...it hurts !! SHAB...how are you feeling these days?? I bet you and dh have been busy since he got home huh !! JUDI....baby dust all over you and Erin..and anyone else ttc.....that is all I can say !!! Have a good day ladies !

Ladies! I was away fishing at the company lodge this week...very nice, plus I missed all the chaos the storm and mini "tornados" caused in the city - 2 cars were totalled on our street...freaky! Now we are getting ready to leave for vacation on Tuesday so I wish all you ladies a wonderful week ahead. I think I feel AF coming on, so it's back to temping and all that good stuff for me. Baby dust to Judi and Erin and Lisa (and me too!) and to all you preggy ladies...relax and take care. 

Name: MissP | Date: Jun 14th, 2008 6:02 PM
Thanks smmom and shabnam - yeah - i feel the same about the lack of care. Its all bureaucracy, i had to see the doctor who refers me to th midwife and then waited to see her, who refers me to the consultant - who is the one who knows everything and hes not in till next week. So i have to sit tight and hope little uns ok. Its crap i know. Believe me i have tried to speed this up and been on the phone complaining and nobody will help me. My only option would be to go to ER and say that i thinks something wrong...and right now im feeling ok. So i dont know what else to do but wait and pray! I had a really hard afternoon, i was in the supermarket and started getting very tight all over bump cramps and pains down both legs - i think they were contractions, they seemed to last a few minutes and i had a couple of them, so i had to go to the car and lie down and they went away. Im assuming this is normal and that i shouldnt freak unless they dont go away - right? Its scary when its your first time! I dont trust the doc or the midwife here yet so i dont wanna call them to ask. Hopefully the consultant will be more forthcoming. Ahhh well. Anyway im shattered so im off to bed. Have a great night ladies - oh and thanks for the 'tight and dry' advice - glad its not just me!! Night night x x

Good evening ladies...guess what.....landscaping is finally done !!!! YEY ME !!! I worked my toushy off today finishing planting in another area and mulching and lifting rocks and shoveling dirt. I even gave the dog a bath. All that after cleaning this am. Woww.....I am hungry now...and tired !!! SO....JUDI>..I need an update !!! LEXXY.... have fun on your trip....and hopefully af will show so you can get going on bding !!!!!!!!!! MISSP.....the tightness you had all around your belly was a contraction...but they are braxton hicks....( bh ) . I had them my whole third tri with second dd...and with Carson...I have had them since like 17 weeks or so. The bigger I get...the more they hurt. They shouldnt last long...and they are very normal. If you start getting them...just sit and relax. I get them alot more whenever I get really active. Drink your water still....that is important. My doc says ...if you have more then 6 in an hour to call them. OK ladies...I am going to make dh get me dinner...as I am to wiped to cook !!! Have a good evening!!

guys I want to introduce myself. I'm Kath and I am here because I had a d and c on Friday as I had a missed miscarriage. It was my fourth pregnancy - my first was exactly the same, a missed miscarriage found at 9 weeks and the baby had stopped growing at 8.5 weeks so I had to have a d and c, then I got pregnant a couple of months later with my gorgeous daughter who is now 2, then I had a "chemical" pregnancy in April at 5 weeks and now this again. You seem like a tight knit group but I wanted to say hi as I need to talk to ladies who understand. I am feeling very low and finding it hard to believe I can muster the courage to try again. Even though my doctor said it was very normal to have more than one miscarriage, that he would normally only refer me to a specialist after three consecutive miscarriages, I insisted on being referred so I can check simple things like hormone levels, etc. Have any of you been through anything like this? Please if you have any positive words for me I would be very grateful.

Good morning ladies....Happy Fathers Day to all the DH's. LILLYMOMMY....I am so sorry you are going through this. I can say I am glad you are insisting on seeing an RE. Maybe there you can get some answers as to why this keeps happening. The good news is that you know you can carry a healthy child full term....your baby girl is proof. You just need to figure out what is getting in the way at the moment. As for the chemical pg's...I can say they are so common in women that alot of women think they are having a heavy and little bit late peroid. I think for us t is harder because we know when we are concieving and when we are trying. SO...I know it is hard...but I would say you really should try again. But try and get in with an re first.

Good morning ladies!!! Hope you are all enjoying your weekend! Lexxy, you go enjoy your vacation. hopefully AF will come and go and you will be able to bd! Erin, Judi, Lisa, are any of you gals in bding mode yet??? I've got my fingers and toes crossed for you. I've shipped a box of babydust to each. Smmom, I am feeling relatively good. Then again I've never been one to complain. My brother's graduation was yesterday and sitting through the ceremony, my feet doubled in size. My back was hurting and my but so sore from those chairs. I also get bh. Mostly when I am walking around or trying to keep up with how fast my mom walks. (she's fast!!!). Kath, welcome to the thread. I am so very sorry for your loss. We have all been through at least one miscarriage. Some of us, more than one. We are all hear to listen to each other vent, support each other and most importantly, offer understanding towards each other. I recall feeling quite devastated after my miscarriage. I was sooooooooo happy to find this group of ladies who understood what i was going through... On that note. I LOVE YOU GALS!!! I'll be checking in later in the week.

Ladies, sorry I've been MIA last couple of days but I am on vacation! Here's a quick note from vacation. We are here on South Padre Island, TX. We have been at the beach all week with my entire family(parents, sister, brothers, step-kids) and I think that we are all burnt already. LIke I was telling you before, Since during my vacation, I am suppose to ovulate(hopefully), I have to bd in the room next to my parents. Nice. They have been letting us have "alone time" and will take everyone to the beach to play so we can bd. How embarrassing! It hasn't been horrible and we have been joking that we are going to have to name the baby after the hotel if we get pregnant! Hehe Today is cd 13 for me and no sign of the BIG O. Still waiting. Hopefully that clomid will pop one of those eggs out and I'll be taking a BFP in 2 weeks!!!

MISSP: Glad your getting settled in and doing so well. After all you have been through, its nice to see you finally where you belong. SMMOM: yahoo on the landscaping! I was working all weekend in the yard with DH and thinking the whole time, if I were pregnant I wouldn't have to do this! You go girl, out there beside your DH working away, I feel guilty now because I would like any excuse to not be out there. Being dirty isn't my thing, but I do it because it isn't fair to leave all the outside work to my DH. He helps me so much with the inside of the house its the least I could do... but I dont like it! LEXXY: Remember its not over until AF shows her ugly face! Even if she does, you sound like your doing well. Enjoy your vacation! LILYMUMMY: Welcome to our group! It is a pretty tight group, but always room for more. I am so sorry for your loss, its the hardest thing most of us will have to face in our lives, but we are here for you to vent, laugh and cry as needed. There is always someone who is going thru similar things as you, that is why its such a great place to come and heal, we all know how it feels. I myself lost two babies, one in Dec'07 and another in April '08, both stopped growing at 7weeks or so I had to have a D&C with both. Join us and know we all wish it wasn't under such horrible circumstances. SHABNAM: I am not ttc this month because I have a MRI scheduled next week and I don't want to worry I might be pregnant and have something happen to the baby. Its just easier to wait until July, then I might start temping again just to be sure I am o'ing and hopefully, god willing, it will all work out and next year at this time I will either have my baby in my arms or in my belly! I hope you all have a great week. Two weeks from today I will be on VACATION! WOO - the countdown begins! Love and hugs to all! Lis
