Hello my beautiful friends. Well, we made reservations for florida. Beautiful hotel, great ocean view, plane tickets bought. Exactly one week ago, I was booking our hotel room....tonight, I am lying next to my mother in a hospital bed, in a scary area of the hospital...called oncology. My mother has been fighting back pain for 5 months now. Drs said it was pinched nerve. Physical therapy and pain killers helped but then in the past month, she became short of breath, exhausted, and in the past week, her face, neck and arm had swelled. After asking her to get checked out hundreds of times, she finally said ok. I took her to the emergency room asap to find out what was wrong with her back and to get treated for a possible hydrocodone allergy (short breath/swelling). Well....5 hours later, her diagnosis was lung cancer and blood clots. She was immediately admitted to the ICU on a heparin drip. I discussed my mthfr with her doctors because they think she has blood clotting disorder that's creating the blood clots and swelling. Once they had the clots under control, they pulled about 2liters of fluid from around her affected lung. We're still waiting on that for a full diagnosis from the fluid being tested. But with the clots managed and the fluid drained...she's able to breathe MUCH easier. She on hydrocodone and morphine for any pain. Today they moved her up to the oncology floor, the next step.....battle plan. Still no idea what that is yet.
So needless to say, Florida is off and possibly holding off on ttc for a while til we see how my mommy is doing. I just cant handle fertility treatments right now. No idea how long that will be. I'll still be around to check in on you ladies, but right now my energy and strength needs to go to my mom and my family.
I'm doing my best to remain strong but my eyes are so tired of crying. My world feels like it's crumbling in around me but GOD.....is keep me standing. I ask that all of you, please say a prayer for my mom. She's a woman of faith, and is in good spirits, minus feeling like crap....but she needs as many healing prayers as possible. Now I really need to go to sleep. I'm friggin exhausted.....good night all.

@waiting - oh my! I'm at a loss for words. I'm so sorry you and your family are going through this. Sending prayers, healing thoughts and much love your way. If there's anything I can do, please let me know.

@aniayka - how exciting! Post the test again. Sending lots of sticky vibes your way.

Waiting- I'm really sorry :( i will definitely be praying for ur mom and ur family.

Aniayka- trying to find ur faint positive but don't know wat to look for..wat kind of brand is ur hpt? How many dpo are u and did u post it under unsure category?

Waiting, I am so sorry and I hope your mum gets better, take care.

My test is frer, 12dpo and posted as positive as its way more visible in person.
thanks for all the nice words, I still believe I'm preggers with all the symptoms, only I am starting to get crampy and I'm worried
I wish it was tomorow already and test getting darker. I hate not being in control.

Tara - I know we talk outside of here, but I don't want anyone to think I'm being callous, so I'll tell you again how much love I have for you, and I am praying for your family.

Aniayka - congratulations!

Today I am 14dpt, 13po, and my test is negative. It will take nothing short of a miracle for my test in the morning to be +. If it's negative, I will stop my progesterone and hope AF stays away until after Mother's Day.

Aniayka- congrats, let's hope that second line only gets darker.

Phat- keeping fingers crossed!
