Okie dokie....RE office called me back already (couldnt believe the response time). Nurse said my beta was negative. And to be honest...I'm kind of relieved. Not being treated properly for a pregnancy this cycle had me freaking out. Between stopping the provera and not having the proper meds for my MTHFR, I was scared it would lead to another miscarriage. I'm disappointed that the stupid test gave me an evap for the first time and I want to use it for target practice. I'm glad I can breathe though. I just hate feeling guilty for being relieved. The nurse was puzzled that I sounded almost chipper but once I explained my 6 angel babies and not having the proper meds in me to sustain a pregnancy, she understood. OK...back to reality.....

@2frsty- having pcos....CM drives me nuts! I almost only get EWCM when I'm NOT fertile. So I have to use preseed. I've never had the metal taste before. Is like having a metal spoon in your mouth?

Hi ladies, been a while. I started breaking out in hives all over my body on Saturday the 25th. Go figure the day before my birthday. I went to the ER to get checked on, they prescribed me some meds and sent me on my way. Then I continued to have on and off breakouts throughout Sunday, my birthday, and Monday the 27th. Then on the 27th, I started having some trouble breathing. My hands, feet and lips were swelling so my mom called an ambulance, got to the hospital, they put me on am IV. They've been monitoring the baby and she was doing well, but has me a little concerned because she's not moving around very much which could be due to the benadryl that they're giving me through the IV, so today they are moving me to the OB side of the hospital to further monitor her and take me off of benadryl and put me on Zyrtec which won't affect the baby. I'm a bit concerned about her and I hope she's doing alright. Pray for me ladies please. I'll update you later.

Waiting --> Arghhh! I'm beginning to think there aren't ANY good hpts out there anymore. I had 13 positives that turned into false positives. They had to have been, because when I had my beta drawn the day after my most convincing line to date, it came back at 0.6 already. So either they were all false positives, or I had a chemical with the fastest falling hcg levels in history! The last two betas I had drawn last year came back at 0.5 during months I know I wasn't pregnant, and this one came back at 0.6

enbutler --> I hope everything works out! I'm just glad you got the reaction under control. And I'm positive that baby will spunk back up as soon as the Benadryl wears off!

AFM: CD 26 today. I'm expecting to show either tonight while I'm in bed (my favie) or first thing tomorrow morning. Even with my later O date, I'm still not hopeful. We didn't BD much around O time, and I wasn't using PreSeed (which I BTW) so the chances are slim to none. Stranger things have happened I guess, but not usually to me!

Found out yesterday that DS has Sensory Processing Disorder. He is "under-responsive" to sensory stimuli, so he constantly seeks it out. So now in addition to the Speech Therapy 2x a month, we have to add Occupational Therapy in there too at 3x a month. I'm also taking him to have his PED screen him for Autism. So an emotional roller coaster going on over here. Honestly, I'm anxious for to get here so I can start my extended Femara regimen and forget about TTC for a while. I still plan to chart my BBT (if the Tiny Tyrant will stay his hiney in bed and not have me up half the dang night) so I will hopefully be able to start my progesterone at the right time. But I'm not going to obsess over TTC this cycle; at least I'm gonna try not to. I've got bigger fish to fry with getting John the help he needs.

Hi ladies.

Thank you for the prayers. I was finally released from the hospital this afternoon. I was on the monitors all night for the baby. About 230 or 3am she started to perk right up have all rhe nurses a hard time because she kept moving on them, but she was doing what they wanted her to do. They kept calling her stubborn and difficult and I was laughing. She was everywhere so that's good. I still have to take prednisone and taper it off so that I don't stop abruptly. Hives are under control thus far, I hope they stay away. Now I'm more dealing with constipation and bloating and boy is that a challenge. I'm so tired and sore from the hospital beds so I'm going to be resting up over the weekend. I'll check in with you guys later. Much love

enbutler--> So glad things are settling down for you and that baby girl was such a trooper! How many weeks are you again??

AFM: showed today, but after the crazy ass cycle I just finished it was welcomed. And somehow I've lost my box of tampons. Lost it. How do you LOSE a box of freakin' tampons??? Truth be told, the Tiny Tyrant could just as easily ran off with them.

waiting--> How ya doing lady?? Ready to get your next cycle on the road?? It's been quiet - I hope everyone's OK!!

So, I'm not sure if I told you, but DS's pediatrician suspects (as do I) of having ASD. He'll be 2 on the 4th of Sept (TWO?!?! ) and is only saying less than 5 words, doesn't point, gesture, mimic, etc. We'll see. I just hope I can have the patience to deal with what God is apparently dumping in my lap. I just wanna know how to help him.

@enbutler- so happy!

@2frsty- i'm sorry af showed but i know how you feel... after a stupid luteal phase you feel sane again when af shows lol. Your tiny tyrant sounds like me...I used to steal my sisters' pads to stick on my feet so I could ice skate around the kitchen LOL!!!!
We were worried my nephew had borderline autism because he was barely talking. I'm his nanny and had to teach him sign language to better our communication when he was little. He also would not use his hands to eat. But at 2yrs old, he finally took off. He's 3 now and doing great. Talking up a storm, learning to read, he feeds himself (he's just really picky about his food lol). I'll be praying for your tiny tyrant and for you. You are strong and I know God's got you honey :) :) :)

AFM- af showed the evening after my bloodtest. So glad I had my beta done cause i would have been freaking out wondering if I was miscarrying again. My cramps lasted 3 days. Sucked. It's finally tapering off so hopefully witch will be out of here soon. Why is it my husband always looks so sexy when I cant have sex!? Lol. I talked to the dr a few days back. We decided to wait a few months so we can save up for the injectables $1000. In the meantime, he put me on a testosterone lowering drug called Spironolactone. My levels are out of whack despite metformin for 2 years. However, I'm not allowed to get pregnant on it, so just in case i ovulate, we have to use condoms...havent used one in 3 1/2 years!!!!! Lol. That will bring my testosterone back down to normal levels and clear my face up. Then we'll stop those meds and start an injectables cycle. So hopefully by oct we'll be ready. It super sucks not being able to try til then, but with my inlaws 50th anniversary party we are throwing, we just cant afford that and injectables.

waiting--> I'm sorry that you'll have to take such an extended break from TTC. I was devastated when DH left for Korea since that meant a 9 month break from me that wasn't even optional! I took a chance and had the Mirena inserted and decided that since I had just had an HSG done the previous cycle, I would "preserve" my fertility by going on birth control. I just knew I would be miserable without TTC. NOPE! I loved it! Ya don't realize just how stressful TTC is until you stop! The Mirena was wonderful for me! My periods lessened to not much more than spotting (after the month long spotting after insertion) and best of all - no more PMDD! Ugh, the week before AF shows is killer on me and anyone around me!

We've tried sign language with John, and it's just not sinking in. He has about 4-5 sounds/words but only one that's understandable to a stranger, which is Bye-Bye. I've done the "Just wait - he's gonna start talking ANY day now" thing for a year now. I started getting concerned by the time he was 12 mo old. But my husband was a late talker, so I figured it could run in the genes. But he's not pointing, not using utensils well, not mimicking sounds or gestures, and doesn't hardly communicate on any way. Except tantrums. The TANTRUMS! I've never seen a kid throw such terrible tantrums; and I've known my share of brats! And he screams/squeals ALL DAY LONG. His speech therapist thought it was just to get my attention, but when I told her that he does it when he's alone in his room she was concerned. So now we wait for our insurance to call with an appointment date. There's only one developmental specialist in the area, and his pediatrician said there's usually a long waiting list. Which in itself is very frustrating. Every day I have to wait to get him in for testing to figure out exactly which kind of therapy to get for him, is just one more day that he falls further behind his peers. I'm terrified that he's gonna be so far behind that he'll end up in Special Ed. Which wouldn't make a crap to me, but I remember how the other kids used to make fun of and treat the kids that were in Special Ed when I was a kid. They were AWFUL to them. I guess there's nothing to do but wait and see.

AFM: Today is CD 3 and day 3 of 10 for the Femara. Hopefully I can avoid the headache today.

Hope everyone has a great Monday!

Wow y'all have had quite an eventful couple weeks!! I've been completely MIA.. my tablet is something, virus or what I don't know its just froze. Can't do much on my phone for lack of memory, it would let me read but not post.. so I deleted a bunch of stuff just so I could reply!! I had been so so so sick. Wake up sick, sick all day until 6pm then I felt great for the few hours I had til bed. But the last 2 days I've felt great! Which of course worried me to death so I grabbed my boobs & they still hurt like crazy! Friday will be 8 weeks for me & my boobs have already went from a C to a DD!!!! And still bloated to where I look at least 4 months because I can't poop & it hurts so bad from it! I've went & had it confirmed but my first OB appt isn't until the 31st so I'm counting down the days. Just wanted to check in with you wonderful ladies! Gotta get Jace to bed but I'll get back on tomorrow sometime ;)

Jace's--> I remember the constipation only too well! Is this your first? I'm sure you are already chugging the water, but that + fiber pills + walking was the ONLY thing that allowed me to poop at all. You can take Metamucil (I used the capsules vs the powder) and it's also safe to take stool softeners. They helped me big time. I would also recommend that you pick up some Gas-X and keep it handy. With your guts having slowed down so much from the progesterone, not only are your bowels not moving enough to let the poop out, they're also not moving enough to let the gas out. And OMG, let me tell ya; if you've never had true gas pains, get ready. I went to the ER because I just KNEW I was miscarrying from how badly the pain was. Turns out I just had a "fart caught sideways" (that's what my family calls it) and the Dr told me to get the Gas-X. After a day or so, I was feeling better. I did have a sneaky UTI though, so I'm glad I went. Still felt like a moron in the ER for gas....

AFM: I had a very productive day today, despite the feeling that I have in the pit of my stomach that I did nothing but sit around on my ass all day. Got a lot of things done around the house, washed my Mom's dishes, 2 loads of laundry, scoured the bathroom, made homemade Chicken Caesar Salad, washed my OWN dishes, gathered the trash and recycling and took it to the road, and I ordered the Olaf themed stuff for John's birthday party next month. My baby will be turning TWO next month!
