I'm pregnant...Thank you God!!! m&long
I haven't been around for a little bit and I can
hardly believe I am writing this! I didn't expect
to be pregant this month! It's been almost two years
of trying and prayer. God has blessed us so much!
I am so thankful to Momma Kath,
this website,
and all you wonderful ladies out there.
I know your suggestions helped up get pregnant.
I had a lap a week ago this past Friday
and didn't know I was pregnant
(too early -3 days after conception).
My lower incision gave the doctor a challenge and he
couldn't stop the bleeding so he made the incision
5 inches long. I'm still recovering! No endo was found!
My DH thought I was acting weird with food aversions,
a strong nose for smells, and nausea.
I just thought it was due to surgery but gave into
testing. DH has had me test 7 times now and
they are all +++++ (darker every day).
The doctor was shocked and excited to do a vaginal ultrasound.
He was worried when he didn't see the baby yet.
Thanks to my education from this website and TCOYF,
we told him that I only conceived 11 days prior to the doctor
visit and implanted only days before.
He listened and agreed it was too early to tell
anything by ultrusound. I have had two blood tests
different days now to see if the HCG levels go up
and then I'm back for another visit.
The ironic thing is that I have been faithfully
taking all the pills this site tells about but this past month
I slacked off. I even thought this cycle was annov!
I hope this encourages someone out there!
I am still afraid of miscarriage but I'll leave that in God's hands.
Thanks again everyone for your support and
encouragement! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

OMG!!! Its a positive!!!!! (details & L)
I just can't believe it - I'm still in shock!!!
First I have to say that this site and all the
support and advice from everyone helped me immensely
and I couldn't have done it alone. I have not been
around at all in the past month because I was taking a break
from stressing and obsessing about TTC.
My husband and friends saw what was happening
so he and I came up with an alternate plan that worked!

We've been trying for awhile with no success -
we're both 28. This month we agreed that I would temp but
he would look at and record so that I didn't obsess over them.
I promised I would not even lurk on the board,
and I wouldn't check cm or cp or anything.
My girlfriend helped him with my temps when he had questions.

I think taking a break from obsessing -
and it was VERY, VERY hard - was the key for me.
I also took EPO 3000mg/day from AF to around O,
this was my first month with baby aspirin,
and I drank a ton of water pre-O.
I also took a regular vitamin all the time and have been
drinking green tea forever. Even with the EPO
and water I really didn't have good noticeable ewcm -
just creamy.

As far as symptoms, I really didn't have any.
Last week I started to feel more tired (that is gone already)
and had a weird feeling in my stomach - kinda quesy
but not nauseous. Cramps started on Monday and
have continued through today. Also beginning Monday
(AF would have been due Tuesday) I started with the
constant "wet" feeling and a lot of creamy white and
clear cm that comes and goes. Haven't checked cp.

Again, thank you very much to everyone on the board
and positive vibes +++++ to all.

I can't believe it,
but I am pg the first month of trying
your herbal supplements! I took the
Red Raspberry, Vitex, EPO and FSO.
I also used Robitussin and baby aspirin.
My doctor told me that I may need to see an RE,
but I wanted to try some of these natural approaches first.
I am so glad that I waited and gave these things a try.
I had no side effects at all.
I am now approaching the 6 week mark
and tested + very early with your
TTC Store HPT. I found out about 10 days earlier
than I did with dd.
I was only about 9 dpo.
Thank you very much for the help.

Hi Momma Kath I'm not sure if you remember me, I wrote you earlier in the week asking if the Aim-stick pg test formed an evaporation line after sitting, and you told me "NO"! Well, you were right! I tested again last night and got a ++++++++++++! It is very hard to believe! It hasn't sunken in yet! Once again I would like to thank you for your quick response to my e-mail! Keep up the great work with you web site! It is a great one!!! Sincerely, Donna

PG mentioned!!!!
WE ARE PG!!!!!
We are pg on #2.
This time we are waiting to tell anyone and
waiting 2 weeks to call dr. Already have prenatals, etc.
Even already have dh more involved. I showed him the edd on the
computer the this board offers. He was very interested and even
showed some excitement. He says we are going to surprise
his family when we go home in July instead of telling
them before then. I will be in my 2nd tri by then.
With my size I will already look like I am 9 mos I am
sure. Last pg I was showing at 7 weeks.
I am 6 weeks now and am already feeling the
stretching of my skin and ouffing of my belly.
Even when I lay on my back I have a belly.
We are VERY excited. Sorry to talk your ear off.
Please, pray for us!!
God Bless!!
