Oh Katie- yuck!!!!!!!!! I am sorry- having it for just 1 round was bad enough! Thing is, they want you to keep nursing/pumping so that the infected ducts can clear- I know it sucks (no pun intended) but check with your doc because stopping now may make it even worse (if you can imagine!) Rio- ugh!!!...

Weezie- I' am soo sorry about the colic- it must be heartbreaking to hear him cry that much- I hope the meds resolve his discomfort. Does the BF not soothe him? take care of yourselves and don't stress- you'll make the right decisions for all of you- your peace of mind and comfort are as important a...

hi mommas! sug- i am sorry you're going through PPD- you shouldn't need to be on meds for long- its totally normal to think you're losing it- i mean twins, preemies, i'd say pretty overwhelmed! and glad you're getting the help you need.

Hi mommas welcome Michele! rio- how awful to have a bladder infection- I'd be going mad! is your cset incision healing ok? katie -blech!! I actually thought I might have a breast infection, but ended up ,thankfully as the flu and probably a clogged milk duct- It must be terribly painful to have the ...

Ask your doctor for Lidocaine cream- put it on about 20-30minues before your shot- put some plastic wrap over it(so it doesn't rub off on your clothes) and voila! no pain!
however- after about 8weeks of it- it hurts no matter what

best to you !!

Corny- I went over to your site- and wow has she grown! so pretty and big-I love reading your story- wish I could get it together to start a blog- you are such an inspiration, and a wonderful writer. Tuesday, Pulman was 5lbs 1 oz- doc said he should gain 1oz a day - today, he is 5lbs 6 1/2 oz at the...

Josefin- if your REs recommend transfer Saturday- I would go with that- they tend to have a standard protocol and used that to get the best results. My REs used 3dt- and I asked why not 5dt - they said this was the protocol they developed and have had great success rates well, after 1st IVF, I am ho...

Dear Sylvia- DH and I are 15 years your senior, but with same prognosis- and with 1st round of IVF w ICSI, I am now holding our 6 day old baby in my arms!!!!!! No one can say if it will work the 1st time, but as your Dh's sperm is the diagnosed problem, you should have a great chance of success! Tru...

oh- and 1 more thing about the birth- about a minute or 2 before he came out, all of a sudden, I felt this crazy burning - like the docs were pouring acid on me and baby's head - I yelled WTF!!! :shock: and they told me that Pulman was crowning- holy cow- it really felt like hot burning liquid- soo ...
