SueQiwi~ How have you been doing besides going crazy? Well, the day has finally come that you will get your BFP. I've been thinking about you everyday and I've got my fingers, toes and eyes crossed for you. And for good measure, I braided my hair so I have that many more things crossed for you!! I know you will have a BFP and close our thread with a big happy face.

I can't wait to hear your good news tomorrow!

Big hugs and lots of love!

Val

Thank you so much for your well wishes Renee and Val. I feel so scared. And my hopes are sinking as I feel like AF is coming--I am crampy and grumpy. I cannot bear another BFN! I'm so scared.

This is the first time i have looked at this site since my very first U.S....

VAL I am so so sorry, I feel I should have been there more for you as you have ALWAYS been there for me and for that I ashamed and sorry. I am sorry and angry that you have come this far only to have this happen. WE all can say "Things happen for a reason" but I know it's hard to digest such a statement right now. You con't to be in my prayers, you and your dear husband. All of my love.

TOOBEE you have always been a piler of confidence and just plain funny...and I'm sorry this journey has been so draining for you. I will pray for your twins, you and your husband. I am sorry for the lost of your 3rd.

It has been a long journey....I am sorry to everyone but I had to leave the forum for a while for my own sanity. You women are very strong for coping with your own problems and then to feel the pain and happiness of others. I was a coward and had to leave for my own selfish reason. I believe in my heart my baby was begining to be affected by my mental health, so I had to clear my own mind of everything. I can say it has worked and now I am 9wks pregnant and baby looks and sounds good. I've been kicked out from my RE and I am now a regular ob/gyn pt. and I feel safe and comfortable again.

I know everyone's story has changed some for good, some not, but once again we will all pull through........... one way or another....... we will all pull through.My prayer to you all

Hey Girl, I just popped on to write you and find ou where you've been....and there you were!!! I know your scared, I was too, I think we can all relate to that. I want you to know I am thinking of you tonight and will be sending lots of posisitve ju ju into the universe for you that you get a BFP!!!!!!!! Bring it home girl......

JJJAKE
We've missed you! I hope we get to hear more from you. I was wonderign where you were at and I totally understand you had to leave the thread. Everyne hads there own way of dealing with anxiety and I undertsand completely having to take a break a few times myslef. I am ok with losing BABY C.....it truly goies my pregnancy a better chance...Yes I am having a good deal of difficulties but we all have our challenges, dont we??? Luckily my PMA is better but I still feel like total dookie! How are you feeling??????????

Everyone

I really dont want to leave this thread, nor do I want for it to come to a close. I see no reason why we cant keep it going even though some of us are pregnant and some may be cycling again or are in limbo. I mean we all seem to get eachother and have developed a good deal of repore. I found this thread very special, and each of us seem to make a contribution that made it super special and I swear that all of our energies combined made a positive differance . I just think it would be kool if we can all continue on and support eachother regardless where we are at in our baby making journeys. I dunno, I feel like I am losing a bunch of freinds and Im not ready to let go..

.......I really want us all to stay here and keep it going. It would be really kool to be able to look back at early posts to see where we have all been and how far we came. For those who have gotten devastating news recently, I want to be there for you and support you through your next journey. For thoe who are pregnant, I want to share that journey with you and mine with you, and for those cycling I want to share with you what I have learned and cheer you through the chlaleges of stimming.............I know, mushy huh? Well Just so you know, I am not a mushy person and this kinda thing isnt easy for me to write.....I am feeling like I am losing my buddies who have been my rocks through my own insane journey so far......I just feel like you all get it like no one else in my life and for that I am so grateful to all of you.......

JJJake~ Please do not feel bad at all!! We all deal with stress in our own ways. I'm usually the type to stay by myself when dealing with stressful situations and so I totally understand where you're coming from. We all do what is best for ourselves and our babies.
I am so glad you're doing well...actually I was getting worried about you and it's good to hear from you.

I agree with Toobee and not closing this thread. I have grown so attached to all of you that it would be very sad for me to see it come to a close. I was thinking the same thing today. I would love to stay on although I may not be at the same stage as you are. I want to stay so that I can provide support and feel your support when I start my next cycle. We have an amazing group and I also agree that all our positive energies did make a huge difference for everybody.

I want to make sure that my situation doesn't make anyone fearful for their own and if they do, please let me know and I will refrain from being on here too much. You girls need your strength and PMA and concentrate on what your babies are doing. Like JJJake said, it's hard to have to deal with someone else's pain when going through this.

It is comforting and reassuring to know all of you and the fact that we all understand each other. I'm the mushy, emotional type....I didn't always show it but I've learned how to express it as I think it is very important to let the people in your life know how you feel...especially all the good feelings. It is always so wonderful to hear the 'I love you' and the caring words of love and friendship.

I've said it many times before but thank you all for being a part of this and I love you all!

I think the fact that all of us know each others histories and journies will only stregthten the bonds as we all move forward. For me, I woudlnt want you to go to another thread when you decide your next step. Instead I want to be there for you and support you once again. For my own selfish reasons I dont want you to leave, even though I know you may need some alone time while you re-coop. I dont belive we all have to be pregnant to support eachother, the common bond we all share is that we all have been through hell and back to get where we are at. And we all know eachothers stories, and I also think that helps. I would like you to stay cause I cant imagine this thread without you or anyone for tha matter. If you decide to pursue IVF again, I want to be your cheerleader even though I may be in a differnt boat. But I guess itt all depends on what everyones comforabtle with. I know it seems others have moved on...but I am sticking to this thread as long as there is some life to it!

Toobee~ Thank you very much! You know I'd love to stay and will do so if everyone's ok with it.

I've been hiding from most of my friends and family for now. It's very hard to talk to them but I'm fine talking with all of you. My brother called me from Brussels today and was fine talking about it all without getting all choked up. That was a good step to take.
I won't need alone time from all of you, at least I don't think so.
I hope the others stay on as well...it would be so wonderful.

So, calling to all our girls....please stay!!!

Have a great night!!

Val

val - i am still here for you. I might not write as much. My m/s is getting worse. The meds aren't helping at all. I discovered today that there is something worse than throwing up. Dry heaving!!!

Anyway, I am still reading and think it would be great to keep this going. At least update when something new happens. My DH thought it was so strange at how upset I got when I found out about you. He can't believe how close girls can get without meeting each other. But you girls are my friends now and I worry about my friends. Take care.

SueQiwi - We are still here for you too. I am thinking and praying for you. Good luck!! Don't worry about cramping. That is normal. I still cramp even now.

JJJAKE - Good to hear from you. Don't worry about being MIA. You have to do what is best for you. I am glad things are going well. How are you feeling? Any m/s?

Well, better get to bed. i am falling asleep.

toobee · Post by **toobee** » Fri Oct 17, 2008 3:26 am

Turtles
you sound so miserable

I am so sorry. I am on zofran, felt great for a few days, then guess what?? I got majorly blocked up from it!!! I mean I am literally full of crap

So they put me on some other meds to try and from 6-9 this morning I dry heaved...Nice huh??? So Im miserable too, but I do get nausea/vomit relief from the zofran, but the constpation is relentless, seems we cant win! I am sorry you feel so bad...I wonder when this m/s will actaully lift, Most say 10 weeks? I am at 10 weeks and I have felt no differnace other than my yearning to remmber what "good" feels like

the other nigt I went for a stroll..........I had an accident on someones lawn...yup I had projectile vomit out of nowhere!!! I suppose should have cleaned itup, but after that I crawled home

No joke hat crap happened!
I looked up and saw a sign that said "Please Pick up your Poop"...they didnt include vomit in that

Anway, sorry you fele so crappy, I really miss u on ths thread, but I knw how bad m/s is...so feel better and write when you can

slfleming1 · Post by **slfleming1** » Fri Oct 17, 2008 4:23 am

Wow toobee! I bet you never thought you'd throw up on the neighbor's lawn! I hope you get some relief soon! And turtles - hope you feel better soon as well!

My nausea has gotten better from keeping my belly filled most of the time. If I gain any weight from the trimester it won't be from the little one growing, that's for sure! Also it really helped me to take my prenatal vitamin at night....

Glad to see you again jjjake! Happy to hear your PMA is getting better.

I agree with keeping this thread going. I have to say...I'm so disappointed when I check and there are no new posts!

Val: glad to hear your conversation with your brother went well. Best of luck going forward.

SueKiwi: I'm excited to hear your results!

I'm off to bed!

turtlesonastump · Post by **turtlesonastump** » Fri Oct 17, 2008 1:56 pm

toobee- Wow, I haven't done that yet. Hope it rains soon to get rid of the evidence

The zofran hasn't stopped me up yet. I actually have the opposite problem. This morning I had to run to the bathroom 3 times in 5 min.

My doc said I could take Imodium and that gives me some relieve during the day. It comes back the next morning though. Have they given you colace or something for your constipation? Hope you feel better.

slfleming1 - I do keep something in my belly at all times, but it doesn't seem to help. It used to but this last week has been really bad. I think I am at the peak hormone levels. I can't wait until the second trimester. I hope the m/s eases up by then.

Well, I am off to take a nap.

At least I haven't thrown up yet

toobee · Post by **toobee** » Fri Oct 17, 2008 4:45 pm

Turtles
Yes I have tried colace, and milk of magnesia, the glycerin suppositories REALLY work

but its a temporary fix...It only works when I take it.....

Im not sure they are safe to take everyday???????? So I have refrained. The Milk of Magnesia though makes me really nauseous when I take it....My tummy really doesnt like that stuff. What does Immmodium do??????? Hopeyou feel better, I too have to maintain a full stomach.

SFleming
Throwing up on the DISTANT neighbrs lawn was so far my most dramtic story. I was walking my dogs and just turnng the corner when it hit me...I really felt bad, but it was 11:00 PM at night and there was no way could clean that up--Besides it was mostly liquid

The first time I was pregant, the only time I ever threw up was while driving in my car..Yup I threw up all over myslef and it happened so suddenly I dnt have time to grab anything......not pretty

Valerie
I am thinking of you.....Hope you are holding up ok

Stephanie
what up girl, where you go?

turtlesonastump · Post by **turtlesonastump** » Fri Oct 17, 2008 5:36 pm

toobee- Imodium is for diarrhea. I have had it real bad. I go at least 4 times a day. The doc said that imodium was fine, but that it might make me constipated. Right now I prefer that over running to the bathroom.

I found this site that tells you what the FDA risk category for medicines are. It is at http://www.safefetus.com/Search.asp You enter your medicine and it tells you a letter. Here is a list of what the different letters mean. http://www.safefetus.com/fda_category.asp

I am going to get on my treadmill since its raining here...hopefully that will help get my pipes moving

Hey Everone,

I am back from vacation. I need some time to catch up with all the posts. I did have some internet connection but it was so slow and disconnected so much that I spent more time sitting there waiting for a page to load then actually reading posts. Then everytime I tried to reply I lost my Internet connection and would have to retype everything so I just gave up.

Val - I was so shocked to read your post the other day. I feel so terrible for you. I think I have said this before but I think I would rather just keep getting BFN's then to have to deal what you are going through. You are an amazing women and have been the backbone of this group. You have helped so many of us when we were down. You deserve so much to be a mom. I know in you own time, you will have the courage to do this again and when you get that BFP and see the little heartbeat, I will be jumping up and down with joy with tears in my eyes for happiness.

Sue - Good luck on your Beta!!!!

Well, i will try and post more later. i have tons of stuff to still unpack. As far as staying with this board, I am all for it. For all you PG people I would have been checking on the May mommies to be board anyway to see how you are so this would make it easier and I think it would be really great for us to keep this board going.

Chris
