VQ: good to know that you're on day 10? of your cycle! I'm crossing my fingers to have your AF coming soon! sorry to hear you have the virus too! hope you get well soon!

Suzy: glad to know you're doing well and you've assembled your crib in your bedroom for a while! that's what dh and I are planning too. Sorry to hear that you've hypoglycemic! Do you know if there'll be any major impact on your pregnancy? Hope you're doing just fine! Like I have below normal blood pressure, it's inherited. The docs told me having low blood pressure is good for the pregnancy. only thing is that i will get dizziness which I've already had with the pregnancy. Good thing is that you're in good hand and your doc will see you once a week! btw, do you mind to tell me what crib and where did you buy it? We're planning to starting looking around in the next few weeks even though we won't buy it until end of the 2nd trim.

Babylove: good to know you're moving along! good luck to everything!

LH: good to know you've moving along too! 3 days from today and you'll have the donor's egg collection. about the 15mm lining, i guess it's a good thing but i'm not sure. I only know that people only have concern if they don't have lining reaching 8mm. If your RE had no concern, I guess you don't need to be concerned too. right? thanks for updating to us! please keep us posted!


afm, my virus cold is almost gone... I guess. At least I can go to sleep with one pillow last night instead of 4 pillows in the last 2 weeks. trust me, it's awful with all the postnasal drip kept coming and coughing non stop. I keep using saline nasal spray and inhaler and it seems helping.

** Child Mentioned in this post**

VQ- How exciting!!!! I am sending you lots and lots of positive thoughts and sticky vibes for a great FET! VQ my lo sleeps about 4-5 hours from about 7:30p to midnight and then wakes up again at 2 or 3am then 5am and finally 6 or 6:30am, we have tried to keep him up until about 10p but he still wakes up in the middle of the night, he will be 13 weeks this Wed.

Monica- Wow! I wish that was the case with my lo! Cute Pic! I understand, 4 kiddos is a lot

FDNY- I am soooo happy for you!!!! I totally understand about not believing everything will be fine, but it will!!! I was sure something would go wrong even at the end of my pregnancy and when he was born I just knew something bad would happen to him, but thankfully everything is good and I am feeling less nervous about this little guy being ok. It will all turn out great. Are you going to find out the sex of the baby???

Dodo- I sure hope you can finally see a doctor that will take good care of you, It is so frustrating to deal with people who just don't care about what you are feeling, Hang in there! btw, I bought furniture from Bellini baby furniture, I was told by a couple of people that it is really good quality and lasts forever. I love it! We got the crib that turns into a full size bed when he gets older, they also come and assemble it for you too. You can look it up at Bellini.com to see if there is a store near you.

Suzy- Wow!! 30 weeks, I am glad you enjoyed your baby shower and you got some very important things. If you registered at a babies r us make sure you get the discount they offer on all of the things that you didn't get on your registry. I am glad your doc's are taking good care of you

LH- How did the retrieval go? What did they say about your lining? I hope you got some good lil embabies

Baby- wow, you have a lot going on, you will be starting so soon, can't wait to hear your updates.

Afm,
I am hanging in there, my LO has now decided not to take a bottle!!! I have pumped breast milk and fed him with a bottle for 9 weeks because bf-ing was too painful, I finally figured out I had a yeast infection in my breasts! So after starting medication, I was able to bf him and now he decided he only wants that. It is sooo horrible!! He screams bloody murder when you try to feed him the bottle and now I can't go anywhere for more than 2 hours, and I go back to work in 3 weeks. I have tried everything, just not sure how this is going to get better. My poor little guy has sure had his problems, it hasn't been easy...... not to mention it has been raining for the 3 months I have been off, Ugh! I wouldn't change a thing though, he is so amazing, I just needed to vent my frustration, thanks for listening

Good luck with your cycles everyone!!

[suzyq13]

ru..sounds like your lil guy is doing great! this is always a great place to vent..thats what we are all here for....i hope everyone is having a great monday.....i had my 3rd 3 hour glucose today..lol........i had one at like 16 weeks at 28 weeks..i passed both 3 hour tests..but since the doc thinks i am hypoglycemic..he did another..i dont know why...but as long as they are taking care of my lil girl i am good with it all...many hugs to all!!!

[dodo928]

Suzy, sorry for your anxiety! I'm not good on getting the center attention too. how's your baby shower? it's nice to have people around you to put up one for you. Hope you had a good one! Hope your blood sugar is under control too!

VQ, good to know that you got your FET date! Hope AF is here by now!

Ru, thank you for the website! I don't see they have store in my county. I will look around close by first. I live in San Diego, a military town, where many people start family here. We have just too many baby furniture store and don't know which one to trust. We started to check out some stores last week and we're amazed


afm, I saw my family doctor last week and she ordered the CBC, iron, and metabolism b/w for me. She also measure my tummy to make sure the baby is growing normal. She saw my hgb is still low and referred me to a hematologist. I also saw my OB from my HMO group. I went to see the peri after seeing my OB's NP visit. so, this is my first appointment back to see him. Glad he didn't reject me! He's very nice and the hospital he belongs to is also very good rating on L&D but I won't have ultrasound every appointment. I guess it's because HMO?? Anyway, when I'm with my peri, the sonographer gave me u/s every appointment. And their machine is much nicer and more accurate. DH told me to stay on both for now so that we can see our LO closer from the u/s. We're using the PPO to see the peri. Thanks goodness we have chosen this insurance with their point of service options! It helps a lot financially. The peri side has a good network of doctors and better machine but bad rating hospital. We also have communication issue with the peri. He seems very controlling and holding back when we asked for his advise. My OB communicates better. For example, I've had concern about my iron level going above the high end. He just said alright without explaining. I freaked out and changing my rich iron food diet. But for my OB appt today, he explained to us that too high iron range is fine because later on the pregnancy, my iron level will go back to normal and that the high iron will not toxicated the LO. he said that's like he want to see from his patients, high iron level and low blood pressure. he told me that my body is 10 years younger than my actual age. he's a very classy guy and good bedside manner doctor. I will take his words for now but we'll see after 20 weeks see if my body will go back to my actual age again. fingers crossed!

RU-It's always nice to hear from you! I am sorry to hear about the feeding issues. I wish I could help but I never b/f. I wonder if a lactaction specialist could help w/latching on so it doesn't hurt.

Dodo-Yay for a great report and way to go w/a younger body! It sounds like you are in great hands!

Suzy-It sounds like your shower was a lot of fun! That's great that you got some big ticket items. That really helped us out!

Hello eoe!

AFM-I started to get sick again but was relieved when I started to feel better once the Lupron was cut in half. I don't know why I have so many problems w/the meds for donor/FETs because I usually tolerate meds really well. I'm so happy I can eat now w/out getting sick!

[suzyq13]

dodo...sounds like you are getting good care..and things will be going well..an you will get to see your lil one ofte...take care..many hugs!!!
vacationqueen...sorry you were feeling sick....i hope you will be feeling better and get this fet on its way!!! many hugs!!!
