Hello ladies!! @skyline, what an itsy bitsy baby!! That was the size of my sister's daughter (who is a twin) when she was born! What a blessing that they are going home! I hope you get over your colds soon! No fun! Your little man is just so cute!

Well i am SUPER excited because we received out timeline for IVF. For some reason, our clinic does not do IVF in February....no clue why, but that is ok, just gives us one more month to stash some money away. So we will begin everything once AF shows for February. I am actually due for her next week, so one my cycle and then its game time! I will get put on birth control, which they do to "quiet" down your ovaries, and also they like to get everyone who is doing IVF that month, on the same schedule. Helps with timing everything out. If everything goes as planned, and we get a sticky baby, we will be pregnant by the end of March!! I cannot believe it! Just in time for DH's birthday :)

I am having a really hard time accepting the fact that this may not work. I keep thinking...if we don't get pregnant from this...what do we do? Keep trying? I know women do several rounds of IVF and eventually do get pregnant, but it just seems tortuous. I just pray we do it once, and have left over embryos to freeze for the next time.

@LSchrader - I can only imagine the feeling, and I REALLY hope it works the very first time!! I don't blame you for not being able to keep from getting your hopes up. Sometimes you just can't help it. Sometimes you can even think you are not getting your hopes up, but find out later they were sky high! BTW, that picture you posted of y'all standing in front of the woods/creek... so beautiful!!

Hi Ladies, Im still here too just reading along and not much time to post, I sleep way too much!!

LSchrader- That's great news about IVF! Like you say one more month to stash away for. I never knew they put you on birth control for a month but it makes sense. I bet your super excited although its easy to worry if it will or wont work. Keep positive.

Football- I cant believe how fast its gone, who knew 9 months would fly by like that, in fact a year has flown by since Athena & Sky's announcements and delivery. Your baby shower should be fantastic, nothing better than a room full of people you love celebrating.

Sky- Wow, that is tiny but amazing!! Glad mother and baby is well. Hope your feeling better after your cold. The flu's we've had over here have been terrible.

Miracle- Sorry we haven't been here for you honey. I always watch over you on FB as well as here.

Pisces, Rebecca, Athena.....ladies how are we all?

AFM: Well I went against what I said and announced on FB. It was too tempting not to. There's this craze going about on FB about nominating people to put their first profile picture up so I couldn't resist and put our lil Bean's first scan photo up. I cried all the way through as I was so emotional to see it was real, the lady printed me off so many copies to take home for free! I'm busy taking one of my pooches backward and forwards to the vets as he had an op on his ear, ruptured vessel, that all I do is sleep these days. Its embarrassing!! Poor husband sees me drool far too much!

I'm always around, checking in. Much love ladies! xx

@Bean - Saw your scan, made me smile!! How many weeks along are you now? Haha! Your drool comment cracked me up.

I think Im 9dpo today.. new to all this, never been pregnant or ttc before..we havent been ttc just decided we are ready and if it did happen naturally it would be fab. My cycles have always been really irregular anything from 27 - 35 days and because I havent charted Im not 100% sure when ovulation day was. Ive only ever kept my phone app up to date which said it was on the 8th or 9th .. since the 10th I have been feeling super tired, smell things I normally wouldnt, been feeling queezy but havent been sick, been having vivid dreams since then and food aversions and been feeling bloated and numb kind of weird pain on the left side of my pelvis (that doesnt feel like the normal pain Ive ever had..on the first 3 days I had lots of dizzy spells.. I dont even know if its possible to feel symptoms that early on? I did a hpt this morning that was neg but not too sure if it might still be too early.. im still feeling queezy and super tired and I had a full nights rest and only got up a few hours ago.. I just feel different, hopefully its not all in my head but guess Id just have to wait a few days to do another hpt,my period is due in 4 days..so time will tell..good luck to all ladies thats ttc xx

Hi Ladies, I'm here, reading along. I actually have been trying to work things out with my man. We both agreed to give "US" one more go around to try and make this relationship work, but that this was going to be it.. We agreed to step it up and really do our very best. He apologized for not being there for me this pas year, he cried and told me I was his soulmate.. he asked me not to give up on us as we've come so far. I said okay! I do love him and I do want it to work out. Yesterday was the day 1 year ago that I had the miscarriage. I have been sad all week thinking about it all. I let the tears come when they need to. I'm okay and I will be okay. As far as ttc goes, I have an appointment to see a fertility specialist outside the area (3 hr drive) next month in FEB. It's actually just a consultation. I want to know what type of uterus abnormality I have once and for all. I want to know if surgery is an option for me. We shall see. My fertile days are coming up Sunday - Wednesday. Going to be bedding lots.

@Lschrader - That's VERY EXCITING news that you get to do IVF so soon. To think you will be pregnant in March is awesome. It's healthy and normal to wonder if the IVF won't work. When my bestie did her first and only IVF cycle, she went into the hospital saying that she was going to be taking her baby home. It was like she just "knew". You have a group of us girls praying for you and your dh.

@Bean - I bet your exhausted and drooling.. lol. My cousin told me she could barely lift her head off the pillow during all 4 of her pregnancies.. Hope it shifts soon in the 2nd trimester for you. :)

@Skyline - Oh that's no fun at all being sick. :( I hope you all recover quickly and are back to your happy healthy selves soon.

@Football - Wow, time is flying by for sure. I can't believe you will be holding your lil one in the very near future. You nervous, excited, scared or all of the above?

@Pisces - How are you? Your hubby still in town? Did you get to freeze any eggs? Check in when you can.

@Rebecca - Hi, hope you and your family are doing well.

Miracle that's great news about you and your partner! Glad you can both be there for eachother. It's great about your consultation in Feb too, to know exactly what is going on will be good for you then you know your choices.

Welcome Stepmom! Fingers crossed.

@miracle-I am happy you two are working this out. I am especially stoked that you are going to a specialist!! I just know this is going to be GREAT for you!! I cannot wait for you to go and let us know what you find out! that is a long drive, but if you get answers it is WORTH it!!!! Eeeeek!

Ladies, i am SO struggling AGAIN. one of my closest friends just told me she is pregnant yesterday. I know that i need to be supportive and happy for her, but it is so tough. There is a lot more that goes into it and why i am so upset over it all, but i dont feel like getting into it right now. I just need some major prayers from you guys. I yelled at God today. I know he can handle it. I have never wanted to be pregnant so badly, and watching everyone around me get that is so upsetting. UGH.

on a lighter note, my Hawks are going back to the SB. Not sure if any of you caught the game on Sunday. Holy moly it was crazy. And now that the NFL has reported that the Patriots were using under-deflated footballs, i seriously hope we demolish them in the SB! Sorry, i needed to get some football talk in here to get my mind off everything else :)

@Stepmommy - Did you test again? Let us know what happened!

@miracle - Sad anniversary, it's good to let the tears out. ((hugs)) I am glad to hear that you and your guy are going to try and give it one more shot, I hope that things fall into place and the relationships thrives! I am so glad you are consulting with the specialist, I hope you get some answers ASAP! We are almost better, this sore throat is determined to linger. Very frustrating, as I want to go visit my friend and her new baby SO bad!

@Bean - How many weeks are you?

@LSchrader - (((hugs))) I am so sorry you are having to watch all these friends get pregnant around you. :( It will be you soon! Have your DH's last SA results come in yet? Do you know if the little caps come off? I saw stuff posted on FB about the game, I will be rooting for the Seahawks.

@skyline-I hope you get better soon! We have his results back, but i really do not know what they mean ha! We don't know about his caps either. We will find everything out on Monday though, so i am just trying to be patient! Thank you :) This one stings a lot for some reason. This is the second friend who wanted to do dinner with us so they could surprise us with the news. I wish people understand that we do not want to be told that way. Please just tell us over the phone so we can process the information as we need to. Like i said, there is much more that i just dont feel like getting into, but this one hurts to worst :( I just hope we are there soon.
