VW: OK, I just resent the message again.... Hopefully it goes through- maybe check your spam mailbox for it??

[ianmichael3]

Good morning everyone: Would anyone know why this happens to me? Is it a part of ovulation?? Which, by the way, this morning, I had my Lh surge / PEAK indication on my fertility monitor... I'm just so far removed from being in touch with my body, I don't know anymore what I should be concerned about.

For those of you who don't know- I had some crazy stuff happen during my last period, so RE is having me wait out a cycle or two to figure out (with the help of a gastroenterologist aka: GI) what is up with my system. I'm hopeful the GI will do a colonoscopy rather quickly & find NOTHING, at which time my DH and I can proceed to IUI (3 tries, then consult & discuss IVF, possibly).

I'm just sick to death of my freakin' body.

Jamie - I am so glad things are going well this time around in your pregnancy. AS for the ticker, I give up. I paste a code at the bottom of my replies - I can't get it to save - so be it...

Lisa - Glad things are going well with the boys.

Nicole - What happened to you in the past?

I had a very tough weekend with Kaitlyn. She broke out in severe hives. Come to find out she is allergic to regular formula and needs to take special stuff that she completely hates... I think I may just stick to breast milk. She is now taking the boob again rather than the bottle.. I can never win!

If by "in the past" you mean my last period- last weekend I started and literally had blood in my BM- something completely new to me- but I attributed it to the progesterone and my system just reacting so sensitively to it- The RE said that couldn't be the case & wants me to have a full colonoscopy to rule out any problems, etc.

I have had increasingly painful BMs around the time of my period, usually the morning before and the morning of day 1- but this last time was just horrifically painful. I thought I might have endo- but after my appt. with my RE~ he said he just doesn't think that it's plausible I'd have stage IV or V endo, since my "insides" are supple and movable. Apparently if you are that far along with endo, your insides feel rigid or stuck in place.....

My mom keeps asking me if I'm going to go back to med school after all of this - I'd never pass all the biology or chemistry.

[Jules614]

ianmichael3 - I would definately get that checked out. It may be crohn's or something else - when do you get an exam on it? Good luck.

hi girls. Still a ticker moron. I think its the ear infection.....I am still plugged in both ears and really sick of not being able to hear. Poor Cara had to go back to doctor on Saturday...she now has a plugged/infected tear duct and has drops for that. She is just getting over the thrush. She has not been sleeping well the last couple nights, so I have not either.

We had no power on Friday due to ice storm and we had to go stay at my mother in laws. Power was blinking on and off again all of yesterday and we are in a Winter Storm Watch again today (with wind chill warnings too). I am sooo sick of winter.

[Arabsrcool]

ok, finally figured out the ticker, no more ticker moron.

Glad to hear all you prego girls are doing ok.

Has anyone heard from Debbie?

Julie,

So you little one is allergic to the regular formula? my oldest dd had to be on special formula (translate expensive) also. So far, Cara is doing ok on Enfamil (she gets between 6 and 8 oz of formula a day plus breastmilk) I just don't seem to make enough breastmilk to satisfy her. I have started dreadfully counting the days before I go back to work. I just am soooo not ready. I go to doc next week for 6 week check up, ugh!

Julie~ Yes, getting it checked out on 1/15 with the gastroenterologist...... thanks!

[vw79girl]

Nicole, still didn't get it, maybe you are right about the spam? But there is no spam box. Try vw79girl@hotmail.com that is weird.
At one point, I did have blood in my stool and I also had painful BM's and pain in my stomach.

Nicole - I am glad you have an appointment - you will have to let us know how it goes.

Ronda - My best friend's baby had both thrush and the tear duct issue as well. Isn't it so hard watching your little one be in such agony. I freaked out when I saw Kaitlyn's hives. they were twice the size of a quarer and all over her body! It made my stomach cringe looking at them. As of last night, they went away - pretty strange how your body heals so quick.

Hi guys,
Nicole,dear,I feel so sorry for you ,I don't even know what to say-I'm not familiar with this problem,I just know how bad sometimes can be pain from hemoroids and constipation.And I know how impatient you are to get PG,but you have to find out first what's wrong with you,because it only could get worse during the pregnancy.

Jules and Ronda,so sorry your little ones are sick,it must break your heart!

[ianmichael3]

Marina~ thank you, you are right. I'm trying to figure out what I'd like my New Year's Resolution to be........... maybe NOT worrying about IF??? Yeah, right! I'm very thankful you all drug me over to this site, I like seeing the pics and tickers.... all so cute!

Hug all your babies and bellies tight this Christmas, ladies- we are all so blessed!

xoxo,
Nicole

[ianmichael3]

Julie~ok, I tried the hotmail email address, just now, so let me know if you get it

hey girls glad to hear that everyone is doing well and are you all ready for christmas? I am which is nice I will go grocery shopping tonight since it is not raining here in Cali it is suppose to rain tomorrow and on christmas day a good storm so I better get everything ready before it hits.

Ronda,
I will be praying for your lil one I hope she feels better soon and so do you. It is hard seeing your lil ones sick and can't do anything except take them to the doctor and sometimes the doctors won't give them anything..grr.

My older son has a cold and cough and my lil one he has a cold nothing major hope it stays this was or get better I don't like seeing them sick it is sad but with this cold weather we can't avoid it..ugh

Hey girls I started giving my lil one regular milk now. He doesn't seem to be happy about it and doesn't want the regular milk he sure misses his formula.
Has anyone been told that you have to boil the firsts milk we give them? I was told by my husbands sister that we have to boil it first. I really don't remember if I ever did with my older child it's been 4 years..lol I forgot!

Let me know I am giving it to him like it is no boiling because he doesn't like it he prefers taking it cold but since it is cold I feel bad for him I warm it up some and he is having a hard time liking it.

Thanks for the support.

Hope that everyone is doing good.

HOpe we can hear from Jen and see how they are doing.

Lisa, How are you and the boys?

Have a great Christmas everyone! Best wishes enjoy it with your lil blessings!

Love Lili

[Arabsrcool]

hi girls!! I hope everyone is getting ready for Xmas. We all have so much to be thankful for. Lets all count our blessings. I know I am! I am holding my newest blessing right now. Cara is sleeping better now, which means momma is sleeping better too! She slept from 9 pm to 3:30 am in her bassinet, then I fed her and put her back in her bed where she stayed until 5:30, then she was in my bed.

Julie

yes it really sucks when your little one does not feel well. what kind of formula was your daughter on? Glad to hear her hives went away.

Happy Holidays everyone!
