Mrssuz - Hooray!!! What wonderful news! I'm so happy for you, dear. What's the plan for you now? Will you be getting in to see your OB? Keep us posted.

Miracle - I know you're glad to be back with your sweetie and family. What a blessing to have been able to be with your mom for 10 days. Lots of prayers going up for you from my house this cycle!

Skyline - Love your pictures! Your babymoon seems like it was wonderful, and then to come back and have such a great u/s! I'm getting quite excited for my u/s tomorrow morning. I know I'll be on pins and needles until we know boy or girl. And of course I'll worry until they tell me the baby is fine. Thanks for the kind words. You're right. If my dh thinks I'm beautiful, I should be grateful and just try to roll with it. (Ha! I probably COULD roll!)

Football - goodness, you've got a lot of stuff going on at once! Selling a house and looking for another can be quite exciting and also wear you out, especially with school still going on! Hope everything is falling into place for you. If AF shows her face, I hope she's nice to you so you can still do what you have to. (But of course, I hope she doesn't show!)

Lschrader - Good luck to you this cycle! I love your laid back approach. Enjoy your dh, and I know that with his SA results getting better and better, it's only a matter of time for you guys.

Bean - I'm glad your visit with your sister and her BF went well. I know it's hard to be so apart from her. My sisters are all 15-18 hours away, and at times I miss them dreadfully. But hopefully now that my inlaws are moving back to NC we'll be able to drive down to see my family in SC more often and keep in touch better. Good luck to you this cycle! And I hope your hubby gets good news on his SA. Please keep us posted.

Athena - hope you and dh are both on the mend today!

Afm - thank you to everyone for being so kind. I have a rotten self image, and need to work on that. We're counting down the hours until our u/s tomorrow at 9am. The kids want to go with us, but the office won't allow you to bring them. I'm hoping for another little girl, but I'll love a little boy too. The most important thing is that he or she be healthy. Once we know for certain, it will be SO hard not to buy any cute things I see that are gender specific, but we have a tight budget so that will help me control myself.

@mrssuz-YAY!! Congrats! So exciting and now you can breathe!!!

Hi ladies. Yep she showed.

@mrssuz - First of all, WOOHOO!!! So glad those numbers are looking great. How long has the one fibroid been degenerating? For most they stop in about a week or two, but some last several weeks. Mine hurt for about 10 days, it was pretty bad... could barely walk or lay down, but not so bad I had to take any pain meds.

@LSchrader - Sending you lots of and !!! I hope this is your cycle so bad. I really hope the shift in gears gives you guys the extra umph you need to make that little babe you've got coming to you.

@miracle - Glad your drive home was safe and that you had such an enjoyable visit. And, yes, all good news from the u/s. I had not been worrying about the various things AT ALL, but the minute she started scanning and looking at his brain I was SO overcome with doubt and worry that the cyst might still be there or that my placenta hadn't moved. It was a last minute panic that was quickly put to rest. Sending you lots of and for this fertile period as well!

@rebecca - Oh, and you are 18 weeks, so you should definitely be finding out the gender. Exciting! I can't wait for tomorrow! That's a bummer that the kids can't go. Can you believe I haven't bought a single thing yet? Other than stuff that won't be on the registry, I will probably continue to hold off until after the showers. We have a tight budget as well, and shouldn't buy anything until we know someone else isn't giving it to us.

@pisces - I agree with @miracle, it's about time you check in. Hope plans for a trip with DH are being made and solidified!!

I hope everyone else is having a lovely morning and we hear from you soon!

AFM - I completely forgot until a minute ago, that my appointment with the midwife office is today! lol Oh dear. It's just a general follow-up. The 1 hour glucose test is next month.

@football - Darn! :( I guess you know that you did O on time, despite the crazy temps.

@football-BOOOO af, at least your cycles are on track though!!

@lolee-Oh my goodness, what a story to tell. I am so sorry about everything you went though. That is just insane to me. So scary. I am so happy and thankful that you three are safe and healthy. What a blessing!!

AFM-I think i might O today, but maybe tomorrow too. I am SHOW right now and do feel a little crampy so we will see. BD last night.

Thank you so much ladies... We are far from out of the woods yet mind. The plan is to scan me weekly from next Friday as I am high risk and need to monitor the fibroids... Not sure how long they have been degenerating but ive been in pain for a long time... Heavy cycles, pain during ov (unable to walk) etc... Just have to take each day one at a time now and hope xxxx

@lolee - All I can say is YIKES! That had to give you chills reading that. SO glad all three of you came safely through that ordeal. I hope the healing process is not too long, and I'm sorry it left irreparable damage. I hope things go well at Eli's appointment, and they figure out what the next step should be.

@LSchrader - Catch that bean!

@mrssuz - I guess where the fibroids are located has a lot to do with how painful they are. I did some looking and found several resources on women who had successfully reduced their fibroids with diet and supplements. I plan to start on that after baby comes and see if I have any success.

AFM - Today's appointment went well. I thought my midwife looked pregnant, but I didn't want to ask and stick my foot in my mouth. At one point she looked at my chart and said, "Oh, I'm due just 5 days apart from you!" Ha! This is her first baby as well. I thought that was really cool, but it also bummed me out because this means she probably won't be one of the midwives that will attend my birth. Oh well.
