Toobee - Good luck with everything! Feel free to rant as much as you like on this board - we're here for you.

SueKiwi - So sorry to hear of your BFN

Val- I'm still rooting for you!!

Stephanie - I'm getting some Metamucil next time I'm shopping because of your recommendation. The other day I was a little bummed about my clogged pipes but just didn't feel like sharing with the DH when he asked if I was ok....so hopefully it will do the trick! Also, I am trying different samples of prenatal vitamins to find one I like and it turns out the last one I took for a few days had crazy amounts of iron in it. Like triple the others. So have moved on to the next brand which has helped some

Hope all is well,

-Stacy

A very quick post as I have to go.

Toobee~ Hi Sweetie! Hang in there girl!! I know you're going through hell and it can't be easy. I'm sorry you have to be dealing with all of this. Perhaps the bleeding and the clots still come from the third baby. So glad to hear that the babies are doing so well and don't let an inexperienced Dr. tell you that you have a 50% chance of miscarrying. You will be a mommy with two beautiful twins.
You're in my thoughts every day and I hope you see the light at the end of the tunnel very soon. Big, gigantic hugs for you!!

I will write more later when I come back.

Much love,

Val

Thanks Buddies

Thanks for all your support ladies. I think I am probably slipping into a worrisome and paranoid state. I hope I pull through this pregnancy but all these ER trips have really messed with PMA. Bleeedig is just scarey expecally when they dont know why! I went to sleep rigt after I wrote my update to you guys and slept for 12 hours. Anway, I am glad I oreders that fetal doppler, it should have been here already I hope its shows up today and works well. Maybe that will help with this insanity until my next u/s next week. BTW because of this I will be getting u/s every week for awhile. I am happy about that. I am also taking off from work until all this settles down, I am exhausted and now feeling stressed, so I feel its important I lighten the load.

Wishing you luck today Val, I hope you have a posistive u/s!

Big Hugs to everyone and Ill write personals a bit later when Im not feeling so emotional

Hugs,
TooBee

SueQiwi - I am so sorry things didn't work out. Take some time to figure out what you are going to do next. Get your strength back. I'll be praying for you. Big hugs to you and your DH.

Toobee- I am sorry you are having so much trouble. It is not fun having to go to the ER anytime. I really hope they figure out why you are bleeding so much. Take it easy and rest. At least you get u/s out of it. That should help ease your mind some. We are always here to hear you rant. What better place to do it than people who know what you are going through.

Stefanie and slfleming - It is weird that you guys are stopped up and I am the opposite. I don't know which one is worse. They both suck!! Hope the metamucil works for you. The immodium seems to help me. I have to watch how much I take or I will end up with your problem.

YUMMY HIGH FIBER FOOD FIND FOR MY BACKED UP BUDDIES!!!!!

So i orderd these muffins called Vitalicious from a freinds recommendation that has had constipation problems her whole life. I got the double chocolate chip muffins that are actually a very healthy snack with 6grams of fiber, 3 g of protein. I thought they would be dry and not taste good, but in fact they are delish! I am going to get some kool whip and add alittle to them and eat two at night for dessert...that will be 12 grams of yummy fiber!

heres the link to anyone interested...they are hard to find in stores so I ordered mine online.

http://vitalicious.com/deepchocolate_info.html is a link to the ones I bought!!

http://vitalicious.com/ is alink to all thier products

Glad to hear you have your doppler TooBee -- if anyone needs extra reassurance that everything is ok right now it is you!

And btw - Those muffins look so good! They are sold at my local grocery store so I will definitely check them out. Thanks for the link!

Talk to you ladies later!

kerpupples · Post by **kerpupples** » Thu Oct 23, 2008 3:48 am

I'm here toobee! Hope it's just the usual sort of normal pregnant insanity you're dealing with now. How are the heartbeats today?

toobee · Post by **toobee** » Thu Oct 23, 2008 3:58 am

HEy Kerpupples
Where has everyone gone?? I am ok, just lonley

besides Im on bedrest and going insane. I am not allowd to do anything!

DH is a master at the Doppler....He has found both heartbeats everytime.
Its very comforting.

I ate allot of potatoe chips today. I dont ever really ever crave such greasy goodness, but boy these were so good! I think I ate to mnay and now eating Tums...yuck

How are you?

turtlesonastump · Post by **turtlesonastump** » Thu Oct 23, 2008 12:23 pm

toobee- I am still here for you. Just not much going on here. just trying to get over the m/s. I also have been dizzy. Anyone else dizzy? Bed rest can drive you nuts. Try to keep your spirits up. When is your next u/s? Take care

Hello Girls!

Sorry I've been absent for the past couple of days, but since my last post I started miscarrying and for those of you that have been through that know how painful it can be and all the blood loss it entails. It was a little hellish going through it and had more major cramping in the middle of the night.
I'm doing better this morning and I hope I've seen the worst of it.

Toobee~ I am glad you're hanging in there and I know how scared you are about another miscarriage and I totally understand why. I hope the bleeding has subsided as that is the scariest part. But like Stefanie told you, it is a common occurrence with twin pregnancies. Nevertheless, it doesn't make it easier. The doppler must be the best investment you've made in a long time and I'm so happy that your DH is so skilled at finding the little ones HBs. You know I'm here for you till the end!! I'm here for all of you till the end.

Turtles~ I'm so sorry so many of you have to deal with m/s as it is no fun at all. You are all close to the second trimester and it should end really soon. Perhaps when it goes away you will worry a little bit because you figure it's a sign of pregnancy. I hope you all start enjoying your pregnancies very soon.

Kerpupples, Stacy~ It seems that all is well with both of you, that's wonderful!

Amanda~ Where have you been???? We haven't seen you in a long time! Is everything going well? Let us know if you can because I'm worried.

Chris~ Your BFP is coming and by staying here, you're getting lots of info on what to expect when you're preggo. So am I!!! When are you starting your stims? It must be really soon.

JJJake~ Thinking about you and your little one. Pop in when you have a chance.

As for me, we are trying to decide whether I will be well enough to leave for a week to go visit family in Virginia. We would be driving and I would have to be well. We would leave on Sunday and come back the next Monday. I need this little vacation so much. I haven't been on vacation in two years. And now would especially be a good time. I'll let you know what we decide but it looks like we are.
I'll take the laptop with me and will stay in touch.

Lots of love for all of you and your little ones!

Val

Val - I feel so sorry for what you are going through. I haven't had a m/c but I know in my heart it can't be easy. Hope you feel better so you can go on vacation. I think a vacation is defiantly in order with what you have been going through and that you haven't had one in 2 year. Gosh I would dye without having a vacation in 2 years.

As for me I start Lupron on Friday, then hopefully will start stims on Nov 7th.

Chris

AUG/SEPT BUDDIES!
