It is amazing the difference height can make! When I had my second I was unable to hide my belly by 12 weeks unless I wore REALLY baggy thick clothes. I'm only 5 feet, so the baby has no where to go but OUT! You look great! Love the dress!
No wisdom, just empathy. Everything you're feeling is normal. It sucks, but unfortunately it seems there is no one size fits all answer. Just know that I'm thinking about you and hoping you'll get your baby soon!
P*****hing the co-worker would have been totally justified!
Time seems to be flying by....hard to believe sometimes that I am already this far. I will be 29 weeks as of Saturday. I want to really enjoy this pregnancy as not sure when/if we will have another so could be my last. Depending on when this little lady comes (son arrived at 37 weeks) that means I could meet her in as little as 8 weeks. Yikes! I feel like I have nothing prepared including a name. I do have lots of left over items from my son but still feel like I need some new things for her. I will be having a shower thrown by my Mom and good friend on May 4th so looking forward to that as I did not do one with our son.It will be a Lovebird theme and I plan to do the same for the nursery whenever I set that up-holding off pending a move to a new home. My Mother in Law arrives from Morocco on April 12th and will be here through August to help me out as well. I plan to take 3 months/12 weeks off to adjust so it will be nice. SO much is going on: our house is on market, looking for a larger home to buy, our son starts Kindergarten in the fall, work is hectic, still traveling (for now) as needed, so I think that helps with the time going by but also adds stress too. The good thing is I still am not that big. Weight gain is on track but I think thanks to being tall and the TT I had in May I am growing width wise only. Including a pick from a gala we attended for my husband's job. I was about 26 weeks in this pic and for the most part just looked chubby, not preggo! LOL
I hope everyone is doing well with their pregnancies, new babies, adn TTC journeys so far. Hugs! XOXOXO
Frustration is not the word! I'm not sure what is. I want to scream! My DH and I have been TTC for about 3 years now and I'm trying to stay positive but it is getting harder the longer this crap drags out. I've been to a fertility specialist and all my levels are good, no, great in fact. Apparently losing 160 lbs is a good thing for my body and my ovaries and repro system have reset it's self! (Previously I wasn't ovulating at all) even through WLS we didn't use anything (I know I know but the risk didn't matter cause I never got prego) now it's been over a year since surgery and my docs say more than ready to conceive. Vitamins a great, weight is stabilized and holding steady since 10 months post op. huge rounds of testing, HSG ugg! Blood work and urologist for the DH and nothing yet!
my DH is low count but only borderline. So the doc suggested IUI or maybe IVF if that doesn't work . We go in for our 2nd round IUI next Monday but I am not nearly as excited as last time. I'm really thinking ill never be pregnant again. (My first and only is 12). (2 Miscarriages and 1 tubal in the last ten years).
It is just do frustrating! I read these boards all the time, hoping it will make me feel better to see how different women have dealt with infertility. A girl i work with said she is pregnant and had the audacity to tell me 'don't worry, you can baby sit!' I could have punched her! And to add insult to injury, last night my Best friend told me she is expecting too and it's twins! Im so jealous! I am so extremely happy for her but I'm so jealous! It's her first pregnancy and she's had so many issues getting a BFP and I'm so beside myself with excitement but still I'm SO jealous! Does this extreme frustration and jealousy ever end? I mean, I'm not NOT able to put it aside it its so hard! I just want a baby and I want it now! I know I sound selfish and spoiled but I'm really just mad and frustrated And I feel like everything I'm been putting myself and my DH through is for nothing! I'm at the end if my mental rope! I'm just so FRUSTRATED!
Any words of wisdom? To sooth my crazy nerves?
To answer your birth control question i had used nuva ring pre wls and post wls without condoms and didn't receive any surprises. When i wanted to conceive i took it out at regular time and just didn't replace it. The first time pre wls i got preggers 2mo later and the 2nd time post wls it took 6mo. My first child was a surprise and that was on the pill pre wls bc i was not good at remembering to take it at regular times.
Tiff
Yes stopped condoms 3 o 4 months post op, just nuvaring. Stopped nuvaring this summer got pregnant INSTANTLY, even though had fertility issues with both boys pre op (who are 10 and 12), miscarried and then got pregnant again immediately---so surgery definitely increased my fertility dramatically---I went off birth control 13 yrs ago and never went back on it until after surgery cause I didn't need it.
tommorow i go see dr shultz my mecial dr for blood work and vitamin check.
april 1st. i have an appt with dr. surosky with the interview nurse.
whoops didnt see you had surgery in 2010, so purely nuva ring and no comdoms and didnt cecieve? again sorry for getting personal
