Lisset! This is great news! I'm praying we both get 2 pink lines for Christmas!!!

JessH I hope your labs get here in time for you to start the program. Like I said on FB maybe GOD has a bigger/better plan! I sure hope so.

Kannons-I hope you will get your BFP and the spotting is from pregnancy.

How are the rest of you ladies doing?

Afm- AF *should* be here today or tomorrow. However, if there is anything I've learned from this journey it is to never trust my body or rely on a deadline. It's just setting me up for disappointment lol! I'm praying I will ovulate super early this cycle. I won't be moving on to clomid till January or Febuary so I'm going to do a round of soy to try and get a nice Christmas or New Years present. So, I guess thats the plans...

Ladies I dot know about y'all but I have started to become baby-phobic I guess you'd call it. It use to be just pregnant women but now I have gotten to where I don't really care to hold others newborns. I have gotten to the point where I just don't feel like holding another baby till it mine. I know this sound ridiculous but i can't help it. And It's not like I run the other way every time I see a newborn it's just Im not that woman who can't put the baby down anymore...I barley hold it for 2 minutes then I'm looking for its mom. It's just to painful I guess who knows.

shea- i feel the same way, i don't even want to be around family/friends and their newborns it just makes me sad..my cousin was just here 2 days ago with a child that is presumed his (for now)..but of course they want you to hold the baby so i feel like i have too :( ugh...

for the first time since ttc i thought this may be it but i was wrong trying to decide if i want to skip clomid this time..see what the dr has to say

Shea & Kannons- I think that you either want to or you don't. Either that or you feel like you are stuck in between...especially with close friends because you don't want to offend them but on the other hand it's already a hard struggle and sometimes seeing newborns and their mommies is very very hard to handle. At one point I had decided that I cannot go to Baby Showers anymore because I find myself get all teary in one corner. Big hugs, I cannot wait for your bfps. Please don't think that this is all easy for me to say. Love you all and really want not only us who are pregnant now but all of us to celebrate at the same time.

Jessh- I am sorry but I cannot believe someone can be so insensitive about their own baby growing inside them. It is one thing to consider adoption because you seriously cannot afford to raise your child and it is another to say things like, you'll just drop off the baby by your door. I hope that they make the right decisions.

So sorry to hear about your bfn. Hang in there Jess, maybe it was just too early. You said that you are pretty sure you had a good O this cycle right? Hope this is it!

Melissa- How is your sister doing? I hope you don't mind me asking. I know it is a very sensitive subject. I am so glad you have a plan :). I hope that clomid and IUIs alone will work FX.

Ash- How are you feeling?

Victoria- Waiting impatiently with you. What are you hoping for? I am sure that it doesn't matter but do you have a preference as far as gender for your first?

Margaret- How have you been? Miss you...hope all is well.

Nancy- How are you doing?

So sorry if i have missed anyone.

AFM: 3rd ultrasound tomorrow. If all goes well, it will probably be the last time I see this fertility specialist I have seen for almost a year now. She is super sweet and I hate to leave her. They have all become like family to me in that office. If the insurance makes the change i requested then I will be seeing the OBGYN who will deliver the baby. I always get a little anxious before the ultrasound. When I was at the ER on Thanksgiving day, the ultrasound tech was able to do the ultrasound over my tummy (sorry don't know what that is called).

Hi Girls,

Shea and Kannons - I know what you mean. Before I got this BFPs adn especially after my miscarriages it was SO hard to be around pregnant people and people with babies. I found is extra hard to hear about people who got preggers by accident. I wanted to scream at the top of my lungs. I know how you feel. I can't wait for you both (and everyone on here) to get your BFPs!!!! Sending so much love!

JessH - please keep us up to date with this. I am very interested to hear if you end up talking to them about adopting the baby. What does your hubby think? This could be very exciting!

Melissa - That is very cool about your IUI. My cousin is doing her second one this week. I think it is great. I will be hoping for you with fingers crossed!

Nancy - that is exciting that you will have someone to be preggers with!! I love that. I just found out one of my really good friends is 5 weeks behind me. Super cool

Ash - How are you doing? When is your appointment?

Nat - CUTE bump! Congrats. You have very long hair. Wow. haha. Sorry you are getting sick. I was sick till about 17 weeks. Sucks. Hope yours gets better soon.

Victoria - that is so exciting about your gender ultrasound. How are you feeling? How is your bump growing?

AFM - I am 18 weeks yesterday (one day behind Victoria) and also go for my gender ultrasound on the 15th of the month. In BC, Canada they do it a bit different. My dr sent the request to the ultrasound tech that we want to know the gender. IF they can see ti really well, they will write on my chart and I will have to ask my dr for the results a couple days later. If they have any doubt at all, they will write inconclusive and we will have to go get a 3D ultrasound. Those packages start at about $150 so I would prefer to just find out from the free regular ultrasound. Fingers crossed baby shows us on the 15th.
I am feeling pretty good these days except I am having horrible Sacroiliac Joint pain. So bad at times that I can't walk. After a few minutes of standing it settles down but still sucks. My Dr says it is from the muscles toosening in the back of my pelvis. Not complaining, but another joy of pregnancy they didn't tell us about. Haha

Nat, thanks for asking. I meant to update you all on my sister, but forgot. She is doing better. She has decided to give the last embryos a go in the spring. She said that she would never forgive herself if she let them go.

So, her final (forever) attempt at motherhood will be in 2012.

JessH, I hope that they make the best decision for the baby's well-being, and that it includes you. :)

Marg, I had sciatica pain really badly with my DD. I would lose all the feeling in my legs, and fall if I didn't hold something. I went to the chiropractor for help and it worked.

Can't wait for news on all the preggo ultrasounds. :)

Shea and kannonsmom, I went the other way with babies...I don't want to give them back. I want all their baby dust to rub off on me. I understand not being able to be around them though. *hugs*

Hi ladies

Yay for all the ultrasounds!!!!

Nat- Hopefully you can get the Dr you want! I can't wait to hear back from your ultrasound!

Marg- I hope you pain eases up! Praying for you and I'm so excited for the gender reveals! Do you think you having a boy or girl?

Lisser- I use to be the lady who wanted to keep everyone's baby but idk just recently I started to be the opposite. I'm so hoping everything works out for your sister! Praying super hard for her...and who knows she may end up with twins or triplets!!!!

Kannons- I'm so sorry about AF but on the bright side (well maybe dimly lit side lol) we get to be cycle buddies! I should have AF by tomorrow or Friday.

Afm- today I found out that one of my best friends really good friend's is considering putting her baby up for adoption. She got pregnant and the guy just abandoned her...won't even return her calls and she never went to college and honestly can't afford to care for the baby on her minimum wage job.
I was a little upset when I found out she was pregnant because she didn't want to have a baby and her pregnancy, I'm pretty sure, resulted from a drunken one night stand...anyways *if* she decided to put te baby up, I'm thinking of talking to DH about adopting it...........I know it's a stretch but it would work out so well. I have met the girl and we have a mutual friend but we arent best buds so it's not like we would ever even see each other. she wouldn't have to worry about running into me and feeling guilty or anything about putting the baby up (she lives in a completely different town) but she would be able to have peace of mind that her child was well taken care of. Because she knows me and DH would be great parents and so desperately want a baby. I don't know ladies I know how risqué adoption can be and I just don't wanna be heartbroken.

Nat - Don't worry, the comment was from my 10 year old little cousin. The 17 yr olds sister. She is very innocent, and I found it quite funny. If it was an adult I might have been offended.

Shea - I would go for it! Adoption is kind of scary just like pregnancy. You don't know what is going to happen. I think adoption loss (not being able to adopt last minute) would feel a lot like a miscarriage. Minus the physical aspects.

Sorry this is going to be split up I am on my phone and can't remember everything haha

Kannonsmommy - I am sorry about AF. I have heard of some women doing clomid every other month to extend out how long they can try on it, especially if one month jump starts their ovulation. I hope soon you get your BFP

Lisser - YAY for doctors doing what you want to do. I hope this IUI works out magically for you and yyour hubby and you get a very exciting christmas present from it! I hope the girl chooses adoption and if it isn't us, then I have good friends that have been ttc for 2 years without any bfp. They are going to be looking into adoption. So if she were to choose either one of us I would be a happy camper.

Marg - DH is nervous about the financial aspect of adopting. I am trying to figure out the costs of this type of adoption. I know domestic infant adoption is usually abt 20,000 we couldn't afford that much so we shall see. Good luck at the gender u/s! And sorry about your soreness! I would do like lisser said and go to a chiropracter and see if that helps.

Ok update on my situations. The girl is indeed 14 and my mom forgot to ask how far along she is, I will be updated Saturday. Also I *might* be pregnant. Maybe, just maybe. It was after the time limit, but I have had 2 frer have a faint pink line. From different batches, both without holding much urine. BUT the wondolf was neg. So idk waiting game. I have NEVER had a line on a frer unless I was pregnant. Even when it was the chemical I am about 10dpo. I haven't told DH bc I want to make sure, and I want to surprise him if I am. Don't say anything on my blog if you follow me, I don't want anyone IRL to know yet.

I had a feeling this month I was going to conceive, but didn't want to get too excited! We will see =D I had been praying my SILs and I would be able to experience all being pregnant together (still am praying) if I am pregnant it would be 2 down and 2 to go!

Jess- I would like to apologize for misreading that the comment was from a 10 year old. Oh I hope that your hcg has just started to produce and that the line you got is a real positive and that it gets darker. Can you post a pic if it is possible? When are you going to test again? I am sure that FRER is a lot more sensitive than wondfo. That could be why you didn't get anything on wondfo. Sending you positive vibes. Lots of babydust!

Shea- I am sure that adoption is scary. See what dh thinks about your idea. It wouldn't hurt to talk about it. I hope that you all your Christmas wish :)

Melissa- I am very glad that she is going to try again next year.

Margaret- Didn't know you and Victoria were so close! Can't wait for the 15th! We get to hear from you both...hopefully...if they get to catch it during the ultrasound.
