The Wannabe Mamas!
I am starting this thread for a group of ladies that already frequently communicate through journals and PMs. Since we already stalk one another's journals and countdown pages... I thought it might be nice for us to have a discussion forum, where we can frequently communicate our day to day ups and downs. Please re-introduce yourself and give us a summary of your journey to date!
My story:
DH and I have been TTC #1 since June 2012. In October, we found out that DH has a varicocele causing poor morphology (1-2%). This makes it difficult for us to conceive on our own. We are on some looong wait lists to see specialists. We need to see a urologist about possible surgery and a fertility specialist about possible IUI or IVF. Right now we are loking at 8-10 month wait times, but we might be able to get DH into a urologist much sooner if we can get into a clinic in the next province over. We are currently working toward making that happen! The surgery has about 50/50 odds of working. But we are hoping it works for us!

So sorry to hear the news, Melissa! I hate the forced wait... My doctor wanted me to wait until I had 2 periods and got blood work back before ttc after my d&c and I thought it was terrible to wait so long. The good thing was that it went by quickly and the 3 weeks will go by in no time. And it'll give you a fresh start! I know how disappointed you are though and I know you need some time. Vent to us as you need it! I don't know what I'd have done if I didn't vent and complain so much this year ;) Also... 2 more days left in 2012 and I for one can't wait until its over! A new start is right around the corner! Sending you hugs! Our new year BFP's are coming our way! We all have been patient and been through so much to get there... I like to tell myself it'll make me a better mother than some gals who get it so easily ;) it's a blessing you can't take for granted and we each know that...

Sorry Melissa! that has to be hard! we are all here for you... and like the other girls said maybe going on bc will be a good idea! fresh starts are always a good idea!
Like y'all have said... I can't wait for 2012 to be OVER!!!!! it has been a hard year! ....2013 will be a fresh start for all of us! I know it will be!!!
I had progesterone levels checked this morning and wont know results until Wednesday.... I'm not real hopeful but we will see! I ordered 50opks and 20htps from Amazon on Saturday haha getting ready for next month I guess! looking ay my chart i'm so confused! .... I asked the nurse if I can get on 100mg of clomid next month and she said yes probley but the doc will want to do a ultrasound?
my dreams have been so vivid lately... and my mom called me on Saturday to tell me that the Holy Spirit told her I will have a baby girl by next Christmas!!!! then my DH told my last night that he dreamed that we had a little baby girl!
I'm Believing for a Blessed, Prosperous, Baby Filled (for me) 2013

Love reading about Kim Kardashian! (sarcastic!)
Kalie...I hope your test comes back with good results! Dreams can be very telling sometimes! Hoping that is true for you! All those OPKs and HPTs will certainly go to good use....LOL!
Jazzy visits the doctor today so I am waiting on pins and needles!
Thanks ladies for letting me vent....I was probably the most depressed I have been in a long time these last few days. I have a little bit of a renewed sense....but not all the way yet!
I have always said a Halloween baby would be awesome....as its my favorite holiday! Maybe I will actually get that opportunity....!
Happy New Year!

So we had our appointment with the doctor this morning. Urine and blood test confirmed pregnancy! She gave us a HUGE package of info and forms. We walked out of there like deer in headlights lol.
She is our family doctor, but also an ob/gyn. She let me know today that because she is getting older, she won't be delivering babies anymore. This was very upsetting, because I always thought she would do it. Now I don't know who will be doing it and with our healthcare system, it will probably be some big huge woman named Helga, who yells at me and makes me suffer lol.
We have to go for an early ultrasound next week to properly date the pregnancy. According to my LMP, I am 6 weeks along and due August 28, but according to my O day, I am 5 weeks along and due September 3. So the ultrasound should give us a more accurate date!
Super excited! Hopefully everyone gets their BFPs in 2013 and we can all be bump buddies!

Great news Jazzy. Make sure you post your u/s pics on the other site when you get them so we can take a peek at them!
I am completely bloated....from food! Every year hubby buys a nice dinner for our New Years Eve at home....steak and lobster! This year he bought me 2 huge lobster tails....oh...my...goodness they were excellent! Dipped in melted butter......mmmm! Hubby and son's steak was delish! Our furbabies also got some steak....and gravy poured over their regular dog food. Treats for everyone tonight!
Going to cozy up with hubby on the couch later with some bubbly....Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year, ladies!! We were out driving earlier today (actually looking at future neighborhoods... which we tend to do every year about this time) and I just started crying. Hubbs said "you can talk to me" but all I could think was... it's the same stuff I've been talking about, nothing new to say. I was just thinking about 2012 and how horrible it treated me and it was just overwhelming sadness.... but then we found a new neighborhood with beautiful houses in our price range and my mood changed. So, then we came home, I've had a couple beers (the benefits of NOT being preggo on New Years) and we've been looking at house plans. We won't move for another year, at least, but it's always fun to look and daydream... like I do with babies ;)
Jazzy - happy to hear that you had a good appointment... I hope they continue to go well :) I hope you find a great new OB... but I could imagine that would be frustrating!!
Melissa - sorry to hear you were feeling so sad, but sounds like you're on the mend. This time just flat out sucks... and when you feel like you're doing fine, you just fall back into the depression and the emotions. But, your dinner sounded amazing! I'm making crab cakes for us... YUM!!
Wishing all of us 2013 babies!! We still have 3 more months to go!! I think I have 4 more ovulations left to go to have a 2013 baby since I O at the beginning of the month! haha! I think my April ovulation will give a Christmas baby!! Getting ready to ovulate this week... can't wait! We'll see ;)... Happy New Year, ladies!!
's in the New Year!!

Hi! bostonmama08 invited me to this thread and support group, I know most of you gals already from stalking your journals :) And I have had support from you girls a lot through my journey already.
My Story- Married for almost 5 years. I have two children with DH and have been TTC #3 for 9 months. I never had a miscarriage or problems til I had my first miscarriage in August, then more recently in November and this December. Every one said it was just bad luck til this one a couple days ago. Now my midwife is shocked and ready to help. We suspect low progesterone, I am also rh- and have never received a shot after my miscarriages because they are so early but I think things might change now that I have had 3 and two right in a row. I have an appointment with the specialist on the 29th but I don't want to have another miscarriage in between now and then so my midwife is taking action now(finally). TTC has never been so stressful and I have never been so baby hungry before, I am really hoping with the help from the doctors this month might be my month and we will have an october baby. But if not, we will keep trying.
I am wishing us all 2013 babies!!!!! We all deserve the blessings we have been waiting for, so lets make 2013 our year for success!

Yay! Welcome Britt! So happy you joined us! I am right there with you in hoping for an October baby! :)
How was everyone's New Years Eve? Did you go out or stay home? Hubby and I have stayed home every year since our son was born. We cook a nice dinner, get champagne and stay up to watch the ball drop in NYC. Very cozy evening....bedtime at 12:05am....LOL!
Feeling super optimistic about 2013....going to start taking my vitamins more regularly. I stopped after my D&C because I was depressed....and just lost hope. I take them a few times a week...but really need that folic acid daily....so I am going to really try hard to do it.
Going for my blood work tomorrow to hopefully hear that my hcg is down to 5 or below. Then possibly going on bc pills for only a few weeks to stop my bleeding. Although...I dont really like that idea! Maybe the doctor can suggest something else....
Talk to you ladies soon!
