Bee- Wow!! Sounds like some dangerous furniture you have. Oh my!! Be careful. ALso, I hear ya about getting big. All I know is this little guy must have got so huge in the past few weeks. I went from hardly showing to not being about to see my "you know" anymore. Its crazy how fast it happened. I think if he doesn't come out soon, he is going to be a huge baby. FOr ones that don't know what sweeping the membranes is.... well, its not actually inducing for it only works if the baby is ready and sometimes it can take more than once..... What it is, is the doctor while feeling in your cervix will sweep the membranes off the wall of the sac to the cervix. My doctor doesn't want to do it until 39 weeks because of the very slight chance that during the process they might accidently break the sac. It just helps most not go past the due date (which isn't even always the case).... also, most doctors wont do it unless you are already dilating, which I am. Plus I already lost my mucus plug and had the bloody show... so, sweeping my just help things move along a bit better. Oh well!! I just hope that I don't have to worry about getting it done on Tuesday due to giving birth before then. :) I've been so crampy this morning since I woke up, I keep thinking that any time now I should start bad contractions... but, nothing too bad yet. Its weird how excited I am to feel pain. LOL... I told hubby that I cant wait until I hurt so bad, because that means I am getting closer and it will be over soon. ___Coda- you ovulate for 2 days... so, you can release more than one egg during that time. My friend was on clomid and ovulated 4 eggs not long ago, but only one was mature... but, that one didn't even take. She keeps ovulating more than one egg but still not having luck conceiving... Her eggs aren't mature enough and the ones that are, just arent taking. It takes much more than ovulation to conceive. ___Helene- I am so excited for you! Good luck at your appt. ___Tansy- well, lets hope it doesn't come to having to search for a fertility doc. :) THe reason I asked is because of the problems you've had with your cycle and such.... along with not giving birth yet, and having m/c(s)... that it may be something to look into. I know I never had regular cycles (EVER!) I would go 3 months without AF quite often... I would also only ovulate a couple times a year if Im lucky... Sometimes I would even bleed twice in one month.. There was no such thing as normal for me. I was considering having the endo. test done also to see how it is if I didn't conceive. Yet, after many years of this... I finally found out after my last loss, that I just wasn't producing enough progesterone. Weird how one hormone can screw up so much. Now my hubby is afraid (jokenly) that now I will be a baby making machine since I know what I need. LOL... ___Oh Helene- did you get my post about the book??
