Hi ladies!!
Lets start things off as usual.... with an introduction/update!
My name is Joy
I am 28 (29 in about a week), and dh is 29
we've been together 10yrs
Got married and bought a house together in 2009
From Canada
I'm currently a housewife, but hope to soon be a stay at home mom
I got pg back in the summer of 2010 then m/c'd at 8 weeks
We ttc for 8 cycles after the m/c, (10 months)
We have a nursery room all set up waiting for baby
I got a BFP on June 30th 2011
Had a missed m/c on Aug 18th 2011
Since then I have been rushed to the hospital 3 times for excessive bleeding (once via ambulance cause I passed out)
I have had 2 emergency D&C's, 2 Folley Ballooons, 3 blood transfusions of 2 bags each, & a Hysteroscopey. (Not to be confused with a "HysterECTAMY")
I Finally got back to TTC in Jan/Feb 2012 and on March 21st I got my BFP!
I am currently almost 11 weeks pregnant!
My first ob/gyn apt was Wed April 4th 2012
He put me on progestrone and asked to see me in 2 weeks
My next apts were April 19th 2012 & May 3rd
At our May 3rd apt (at 9 weeks5 days) we heard the best sound ever - our little one's heartbeat!!
We're going for our 1st non-diagnostic u/s on May 15th!

Hi Everyone!
Joy, I'm so so so glad you made it past your hard times from before!!!
Amber, I started mine too, right on time.
Happy weekend everyone! I'm starting this weekend off right - with AF. Ow. Ow. Ow. OW! Super bummed, but I really think it will happen when I get insurance....I know I couldn't handle to pay this out of pocket (thousands and thousands and maybe tens of thousands!) and so I think I'm worrying about that part so much that it's almost not happening because of it. I'm not too too far away from getting that though either in the next 2 months, or November 29.
I am going to try and BD every other day after AF packs her bags. I usually don't very often during the week with our crazy schedules but I'm making it happen. Question: I just started spotting the day before my period starts, last month and this month. I've NEVER done this before. 1. Is it normal for our cycles to change how things happen like this? I've had regular, almost to the hour, periods since I was 9, and this kind of scares me. 2. Do I count the spotting as the day my cycle restarts or the day the real AF starts as day 1?
Hope everyone else is having better luck than I am!!!

Hey ladies! Sorry I've been MIA lately. I had so much to do to get ready for my sister shower this weekend that I was running myself ragged all week! But the shower was great today and now there will be no more stress till he comes!
This will be quick because it's already 11:30 and I am exhausted but just wanted to check in with you all! I will take the time post a more detailed response in the next few days. Right now I dont even know if I have ovulated at the point or what. Let's just say I am 4 DPT - Days Post Trigger. This evening I had some cramping. Like AF was going to start. But it would be way too soon for implantation. I started my progesterone today, could that be it? They instructed me to take it in the morning. Last cycle I used it just before bed so I missed out on all th FUN symptoms cause I was sleeping!
Well I hope you all are having a great weekend! Sleepy time for me!

So annoyed. I just typed a long message and my computer just shut down?! WTF! Okay, here I go again! Except I gotta make it short cause my relatives are all showing up now.
Well 1st, Happy Mothers Day to all the mommies and the soon to be mommies! This time next year we'll ALL be mommies! Can I get an AMEN sisters!?
AFM: I'm 6 dpo today. Yesterday I was feeling twinging/cramping on my left side and I have been cramping today so hopefully its my lil egg implanting in my uterus! If so, its the best Mother's Day gift ever! I found this page about implantation that was interesting. Did you know that the egg can implant anywhere from 3-12 dpo?! Most common is 7-10 though. I had no idea it could be that early!

Ok I better go and join the fam now. We're having a bbq for Mother's Day and all the men are cooking. Ha! This should be interesting!
I'll post more individual ones later.

Hi ladies!!
Jil - Glad af has stayed away so far...
Nicole - Ugh, I HATE then that happens! Hope you had a wonderful mothers day meal! (And that everything wasnt burnt cause the men were cooking! lol) Hope you're right about all of us being Mama's (or at least soon-to-be Mama's) by next Mothers Day!!
Liza - Hope your week passes quickly!
Elle - Yay for mothers day ovulation!! What an amazing gift that would be!!
Tessa - When are you planning on testing?
Bumble - Do you take your progesterone orally or vagially? I think it could be the cause of the cramping, as I have had some, especially when I first started using it. (I have to take mine in the am and eve)
abc123 - Thanks hun! Sorry to hear the witch showed up!
bahoward - hun, hope this cycles works out for you!
Amber - Sorry the witch showed up Hopefully this is the beginning of a lucky cycle tho!
To all the Mommies to be on here... Happy Mother's Day!
& to all the Hopeful Mommies to be.... I have my fingers crossed for all of you that you will be Mommies this time next year! I know how hard this day can be!
AFM - Had a nice Mothers day today... went out with my Mom in the morning, then had a family dinner at my place. (Tho Mom and I did the cooking... something wrong about that! lol)
So excited that the weekend is over and tomorrow is monday! Only 26 hrs till my u/s!!
Hope everyone had a great weekend!
