Hi Everyone,
It has been a very long time, but I have been super busy. My precious little baby boy was born on 2/20/13 at 41 weeks+1 day- 6lbs 4 oz and 19" :) He is doing terrific!!!
I did nuvaring and condoms for 6 months, then just nuvaring since it doesn't have absorption issues like the pill.
Good luck!
Don't beat yourself up for feeling jealous. It is a perfectly normal emotion, one I think most women struggling with infertility feel. Your time will come! Before you know it, all of this will be a distant memory!
I'm not pregnant but I've been reading through these posts on the pregnancy topic for a few months now. I was just recently sleeved 9 days ago. My biggest fear is getting pregnant right away but I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure that doesn't happen to soon. I've read many posts from women on this site, in this forum that have said that they gained very little weight & some even said they didn't gain anything. Some women have continued to lose weight while being pregnant and they carried their baby to term & he/she was born as healthy as can be. The women stated that they did eat more calories than normal and that soon after delivery the restriction in their sleeve was back to normal again. I think you're going to be surprised how well you do and that you won't gain much weight through the course of your pregnancy. Just be sure to take your vitamins..
I can't wait to have another baby but I first need to get to my goal weight and drop this extra 115lbs that I have on me. So for me it's 2 forms of birth control and some prayers that nothing happens until I'm very close to or at goal!!
Good Luck to you & Congratulations,
XO,

Well almost 3 years of infertility, and a diagnoses of PCOS, has come down to this first attempt at pregnancy with medical intervention. I start Clomid today, and then a medication called estradiol that is inserted vaginaly for 5 days, then an ultra sound at day 15 and if there are follicles present, an HCG injection..
I am nervous.....I am afraid to hope because I think the disappointment of failure would kill me. I feel so strange like, this isn't really happening to me or something, it's so hard to explain.
I am not a jealous person, it's just not my nature, but I find myself so green with jealousy at every pregnant women I meet that is is hard for me to even look at them, and I hate that! it's just not like me to act that way and I feel ashamed of myself for it.
As always, I know I can open up to my OH friends because you all understand like no one else does. Thanks for reading this, I am just in a tense moment and the feeling of insecurity is really effecting me today.

He didn't put me on the progesterone because my hormones are already so messed up that he doesn't want to give me any if not necessary, and my progesterone levels show good when pulled after ovulation, but are apparently dropping off too drastically. He can't figure out why my luteal phase would be so short. I'm of healthy weight, my TSH levels are good, and I'm not currently losing weight. Plan of action this month is 5mg of Femara for 5 days and progesterone for 14 days after ovulation. Hopefully this will be the magic ticket.
DS #1 (pre-op) born at almost 37 weeks 8lbs --induced then c-section due to pre-eclampsia
DS#2 (pre-op) born at exactly 34 weeks--at 6 lbs 11ozs--blood pressure went up and did c-section before got full blown pre-eclmapsia
This is #3, DD scheduled c-section for just past 39 weeks but don't think I will make it that far due to size of other pregnancies--will do ultrasound around 36 weeks to check size and decide when to deliver--blood pressure is staying great so don't think pre-eclampsia will be an issue, I'm almost 32 weeks
