Hello lovelies,

I just thought i would check in with you guys. There's so much going on around everywhere. I won't say too much, for fear of upsetting anyone here, but i just want to let you ladies know that you are constantly in my thoughts and prayers.

No Tara, they wouldn't do any testing.. they said the only time they'll do any kind of testing is after 3 miscarriages, and he said that they don't count the chemical pregnancy . So I guess I'll never know exactly what happened. . After the d&c I had very minimal bleeding & that was only when I went to use the bathroom, that was Thursday & Friday. No more until today, still not much but I'm thinking by the cramping its gonna pick up.. feels like it anyway.
Today's been a little better I think, just had ALOT to do so I stayed busy all day. But still it seemed like every time I turned around I'd be reminded immediately. So many pregnant women, new little babies, baby clothes or toys - everywhere!! Makes me realize I'm gonna have to stop & deal with all this instead of running sooner rather than later, if not I'm apt to just blow up or breakdown.

Hallo sweet ladies!

Jace's, when i have a pain in my heart i have to consume it... i am the Kind of Person that can't live with it or ignore it, because it will eat me from the inside. So i consume it.. i cry and i shout and i hit the walls for as Long as i Need to. Find your way to "eat" the pain, i am sure you will be ok, you have a son who will give you more power than you can imagine. He will look at you and smile to you and you will feel your wings getting stronger.

Wish you all ladies a great day!

Thank you Astrid.. I know you're right. I can't run from it forever.

And enbutler, don't you dare not share your updates for fear of upsetting anyone!! As hard as it is for me, I'm still excited for you.. and it makes me smile to hear what's going on with you & seeing you're beautiful pictures! I am so happy for you, and I know one day all of us will be there - whenever He sees that its the perfect time.

Jace's Mama - I hope you continued to get stronger every day and that you can be weak when you need to. <3

I'm glad to read everyone's updates & see how you're all doing. Welcome NightSpyder!

CD4 here & trying not to get quite so obsessive & crazy during this cycle. Easy to say when it isn't the TWW yet.

Been thinking a lot today .. I really want Jace to have a sibling that's not too far apart in age. I know that's not up to me - but whether to try or not is. I also know that I'm nowhere near emotionally ready to jump back into ttc. It kills me just wasting time. The doctor said they used to recommended waiting 3 months before trying again but that now there's really no difference in whether we wait or try again right away. I know I don't want to keep waiting, however I know I have to deal with all of this before I can get my mind in the right place. Opinions on waiting or not??
I've read so many different stories - some were told to wait & didn't & had another miscarriage, some got pregnant straight away & had perfectly healthy pregnancies .. ? My Dr said either way is fine. Have no idea which to go by.

I am soooooo ready for bed . How bought y'all? Just spent 2 hours preparing dinner. Felt like going a little over board so I made homemade broccoli slaw, sweet potatoes, waffle crusted chicken with spicy maple sauce (basically healthier version of chicken and waffles). Took forever and my feet hurt. Looking forward to tomorrow's dinner, frozen chicken patty sandwiches and fries LOL! Who remembers those from the high school lunch room? I had a craving for them and dh just about sang praises to me for buying them. Lol.
It's been a crazy week. Remember my friend's cousin that we did the bakesale for a few months back...well her cancer is worse. It has spread to her sacrum and her lungs. The doctors here said there were no more options so they are going overseas soon for treatment . So please say prayers for her and her family. Her name is Emily. Then my aunt had a bad mammogram but today the doctors told her that the repeat mammogram and mri came back clean. So that was good news.
On a lighter note...after paying bills this week and moving more over to savings...we are only $300 away from our goal for our injectable COI cycle at the RE! Which is in a month and a half!

@nightspyder- Love what your mom said :). How are you doing?

@enbutler- would love to hear an update :)

@jace'smama- I've heard so many mixed things too. We usually always just jumped into another treated cycle cause my doctor had no reason against it besides my emotional health and the thought of not trying again hurt to think about. I think part of it was that I missed having a life inside of me. Granted it usually took a few cycles to get pregnant again but trying again, gave me something to concentrate on and be excited about. But deep down, I think I was just trying to fill a hole. If I had it to do all over again, I probably would have waited a couple months to get more testing done and find out why to prevent future losses. But just like you, the doctors didnt want to test me. It's a hard decision to make but dont make it out of fear...make it out of faith. I say, keep praying about it and get comfortable making love to dh again and then decide

Hello all,
Just dropping in to say I am thinking of and praying for you all. I hope this month is it for you!

I had a cyst this cycle, so no Femara, but may still do an IUI. I started my new job, so I have new insurance and the possibility of IVF. Trying to stay positive.

Tara, waffle crusted chicken?? You should have taken a picture! You wanna come cook for me? Lol
I'm so happy to hear that your aunt mammogram came back good. I will definitely say a prayer for Emily. WooHoo!!! It's almost that time to start TTC!!! <3 <3

Jace, what is your name? I know you have told us before and I would love to be able to address you by your name :-)
I feel as long as you are emotionally ready then go for it. I have jumped right back in after mine, I couldn't stand the thought of wasting time. I felt like that month I waited could've been my month!

Phat, lol we all wish we wouldn't go crazy during the TWW. I try to keep myself as busy as possible.

Hi astrid!

Enbutler, you will not upset anyone! You say whatever you want :-)
