If AF coming wasn't enough...

Man, I can't get away from pregnant women!

I was one of 3 hostesses for a baby shower today for 2 preggos! I wanted to do it! One of the girls is a very good friend and I'm so happy she is expecting! BUT...when we were cleaning up, one of the hostesses informed me that she is pg! Jeez...So Friday AF shows for me, then I host a baby shower for 2 preggos and am informed another friend is pg...not to mention the fact that I have a shower to attend next weekend for another pregnant friend!

I swear when I wasn't TTC, nobody I knew was pregnant or at least it didn't seem that way and now that I'm dying to be pg, everybody is but me! :)

Sorry...just had to vent! I feel better now! I'm off to finish making a baby blanket for the shower next weekend!

I was thinking about you today and wondering how you were doing...ain't it great feeling like you are the only one in the world not pg at this time?!?! I so know how you are feeling! Huge hugs to you!

Well, AF is late for me and whatever "late" is seeing as my cycles are irregular. I had a ton of blood work done on Thurs and a pg test was included....BFN. So it means that I will more than likely need Provera to bring AF on. I am just over it right now. I have decided that I am going to take some time to get in shape and then worry about it in a few months. I just can't handle the disappointment of irregular cycles and BFNs anymore plus I just don't want anymore Clomid right now.

Hang in there, Stacey, and know that I am thinking of you and praying for you to stay strong.

(Remind me...you didn't have any trouble getting pg with Nora Rose did you?)

I know how you feel!

:hug

I am on CD 17 with no O yet.... so I am betting I am in the same boat with Cara in about 2 weeks... TTC is hard..especially when it is something SO wanted!

Cara good luck on your break. We said we were going to take a break in December for xmas but I still would "chart" in my head..I didn't mean to but I always knew what CD I was on..when I Oed... It is something that you really can't ever get away from it seems like.

This is the main reason I am SO glad we have a TTC forum here.... while I pray for your bfps...I am glad yall are here when I get bfns...it really helps!

I'm sorry! I'm sure it will happen soon!

(Remind me...you didn't have any trouble getting pg with Nora Rose did you?)

Nope...we got pg with her while on the patch. So that makes TTC this time that much more difficult just because it was so easy the first time.

And just how late are you? Not to get your hopes up, but if you had bloodwork done too early, you might not have had enough HCG built up...it's been known to happen.

I called my mom yesterday crying after the shower. She cried and said she understands how I feel. Because I kept asking her "why". She said she has to wonder and ask the same thing each day she battles cancer. That sort of put me in my place! One of the things she said was that God has his plan and it doesn't matter what we want or when we want it...it's His way. I keep trying to hang on to that and have patience. The other thing my mom told me was that..."you have been an impatient person all your life. if there was something you wanted, you went out and got it. now it seems that God is going to make you learn some patience!" Maybe she is right and I need to learn patience (not saying you do...just me ;))

I was going to temp and chart this month, but the past two nights have been rough with Nora, so I didn't get up at my usual time and temp. At this point, I don't know if I will. I think I'll just wait and have my sono on the 26th and bloodwork on the 5th and see what happens. I've got to stop stressing (because I have been) and just start being patient.

It is nice to know you aren't out there alone. But it doesn't alter the fact that somedays is just SUCKS!

You guys are definitely in my prayers!

Totally understand & have felt that way, too. :hug I remember I couldn't even watch The Weather Channel without feeling taunted because there always seemed to be a pregnant meteorologist on!

She said she has to wonder and ask the same thing each day she battles cancer.

What kind of cancer? My mom was just(like two weeks ago) rediagnosed with caner of the lymphnodes(sp?). She is in stage 4 and is having her cathadar put in for Chemo next week.

I am the same way I am not even TTC but I want another baby so bad. It seems like everyone is pregnant.

That is too funny that you posted this, Stacey. I was just thinking this the other day. I went to a skin care class and there were 4 ladies sitting by me that were pregnant and then I came home and was watching t.v. and they came on and said Angelina Jolie was pregnant and I was thinking "is this a sign or what!" Me and you are in the same boat. I got pg with DS on the pill, we were not even trying and then here we are going on 8 months and nothing. I will tell you and I know this will sound really funny but my DH works with a guy that has 7 kids....yes 7! So, he asked him what the trick was and he said that every time they tried the wife would drink a tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar 3 times a day. Something about the acid, etc, etc. not sure if it will work but I've been doing it for the last 4 days so we will see. I am willing ot do just about anything right now and they have 7 kids to show for it so we will see.
Good Luck to you and hang in there!

EWwww! That sounds yucky! I heard of something called ovulex and I'm thinking about trying it. I'd like to know more of what is in it...but here is the link http://ovulex.discovertotalhealth.com/

I bought some B6 today and some L-arginine and some vitamin E. They are all said to help with fertility! So we'll see...I'm also going to get my dh to take L-arginine because sperm is made of it and from what I've read it helps...we'll see.

I may have to break down and try apple cider vinegar...yikes!

My mom hs stage 3 colon cancer. She too has the cathetar and it is right below her collar bone. You can't even tell it's there. She goes back to MD Anderson in April...she will have been having chemo for 5 months at that point and they will decide then if they will change her chemo. But my mom is praying...as we all are that she won't need to change because the chemo she is on is working or her cancer is gone! God works miracles, right? We are just keeping the faith!

I'll be praying for your mom!

That is where my mom is having treatment! Her Dr's name is Dr Benarhi(sp?). They are going to try a new treatment on my mom first..it is a less toxic chemo..I will have to ask her the name. This is her second round of chemo..she was diagnosed in 82 when the tumor was removed...she had her first round of chemo when it came back in 91. She has been in remission ever sense. They are wonderful down there!

My mom has 2 docs. One at MD Anderson and one in East Texas at the Texas Oncology Group...She gets her treatments in East Tex because that is where she lives. She wanted to be able to continue working and be at home instead of going back and forth. They are really great down there. My mom's cousin is a researcher there.
