Monday - The Morning After!

Morning - So I called my OBGYN’s office this am and they got me an appt to see the Perinatologist this afternoon, but in the mean time they wanted me to come in for blood work. So I went in for my blood work and everyone was so excited to see me. They took my blood then said we are having this done stat, so I will have results this afternoon…I was shocked! WOW! Then the Midwife saw me and said to go and see the tech to get an ultrasound…WHAT! WOW! She said, I know it’s early, but let’s take a look…LOL! So I had an ultrasound at 4W 0D… they found a very thick lining and a spot! LOL, I couldn’t even ‘see’ it…it was measured, but since it was so small it wouldn’t really measure…she said it was hardly ½ a centimeter! Tiny! LOL! And yes, there was only 1 this time…LOL! I do have US pics, but no way to scan them…I’ll be back later tonight and let you know how the Peri goes with my shots! Yea! Thanks again for all the prayers and warm wishes!

Later - Ok, so I'm not sure if I'm disappointed or just 'over worked' for the day...So, I went to the Peri's office and they did an US there too...ya, so I got not one, but 2 US's today...and I'm only 4w 0d....well, at the Peri's office all they could see was my thick lining...which he said was good...there machines are much more sensitive and there was no spot...bummer...so now I'm wondering what happened, but trying not to wonder...IYKWIM???? He did write me a Rx for the Lovenox, but since it was the end of the day they have to wait for authorization and I won't get that until tomorrow...So, I go back to work tomorrow and will need to leave early to get the Rx and have them show me how to do my shot...then I have another appt/US next Wednesday....the big problem here is that I am doing a huge presentation on that day so I need to leave early, like the last 45 mins, and Wed is the only day that could remotely work...ugg! I'm not stressed, just tired and I have a headache....On the bright side I did get my #'s....213. Sounds good to me. :) *sigh* I'm hungry!

DPO 14 - TEST DAY!

TEST DAY!

A picture is worth 1000 words....but the BIG picture is worth even more! HA!

BFP!

DPO 13 - See what happens when you test early...

Ok, so I didn't quite make it to DPO 14, but I think someone is telling me I need to wait....Why? Look and see....

What the heck is that? I'm looking for 2 vertical lines, but I get the vertical line on the Right, which is the control line, and a horizontal line from Left to Right! Huh? LOL! Only one more day and I'm using a Digi next time!

CD 12 - 2 more days...

Well, it's Friday the 13th! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Ha ha ha!

Only 2 more days until POAS day! Yea!

Today was a day to "look for signs"... Signs, signs, everywhere signs.... :)

Looked for a 4 leaf clover at the park today with the dogs...no luck.
Poked the BBS for growth or soreness...no luck.
Wished on the brightest star in the sky....we'll see.

One strange thing that did happen...I fell asleep hard core, out cold, for 2 hours...man I was tired! Hmmm? A sign?

DPO 11 - Keeping Busy

Ok, what was the remedy today?

Living at the gym in the AM - Turbo Kick Boxing Class & Lap Swimming
Going to the Farmer's Market
Reading Magazines at the Library
Making a loaf of bread
and once again...
going to class.

DPO 10 - Oooo, I wanted to POAS!

So, I did get up bright and early today with my DH and had my morning shot of Goji Juice....I think it's transforming my mornings as I'm noramally a sleep as long as I can person...Anyway, today was so hard not to POAS...the dozen or so HPT's were calling so loudly to me!!! I managed to walk pass them, but all day long they were calling to me...and still calling to me now...Geez! Will I make it to day 14? Just a Thursday, Friday, and Saturday away...ahhh...I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas, but I'm in charge of Christmas! Will Christmas be tomorrow?LOL!

Well, what else did I do today?
Dog Park - Woof!
Watched "Munich"
Looked up Bread Recipes
Read the Newspaper
Watched some News
Ate Left-Overs - Pizza
Researched Court Cases for a Class Presentation
Moved Furniture
Vacuumed
Met with Group for Class
Ate Left-Overs - Pizza
Class

UGG!

Will I make it until Sunday?

Tuesday - DPO 9

So how did I pass the time on DPO 9? Shopping of course!

Now my first choice is always Saver's - a Thrift Store - but since it was not $1 day I didn't spend a lot of time there, did pick up a bag of random stuff for 69 cents and a $5 bread machine...After that I ventured to "The Mall"!!! It's amazing how quiet the mall is on a weekday, and the sales were easy to spot...My favs?
Macy's is always a fun spot to find bargains...which surprises me! They have beautiful dresses, and at 75% off, I always have to at least try an a few. Although I did try a few things on, nothing was purchased.
Hot Topic - Always great for fun shoes when on major sale, but no shoes were found...however, I did score a few fun gadgets...grand total $2.11! FUN!
Lunch - Panda Express - Chow Mein, Mixed Veggies, & Tofu w/Eggplant - YUM with a bottle of Aquafina!
New York & Co. - Love, Love, Love this store...WHY? Tall pants....yea! Gota love pants that fit! Plus a sale = $5.99 for a pair of pants for work! Yea!
GAP - Love it or hate it, it's still an obsession...LOL! More pants found here, in talls as well! Yea! My normal $60 pair of jeans were on sale for $9.99!!! Yea, I bought the last 2 pair they had in my size....plus these super cute & comfy boyfriend cargo pants...$12! FAB! & last but not least...a cute white eyelet sundress for $19...that was my total splurge...I couldn't imagine paying $80 for it!

All in all the day was fun and went quickly....

Monday - 6 days until POAS!

So, what did I do today to keep myself busy...Hmmm...

I GOTA VIRUS! UGGGG!

Okay, I didn't get it, but my laptop did...bummer! So I spent 4 unfruitful hours trying to fix it...to no avail, tech support has to rescue me. So there goes my beloved laptop....*sigh* who know's when I'll get it back.

On the brighter side I gathered up all the free formula that was sent to me and I'm taking it to The Shade Tree...ahhhh...giving feels good.

One More Week to Wait

So here it is, I'm down to the 1WW (Week Wait) of the ominous 2WW as it is known in TTC (Trying To Conceive) circles. The 2WW is the time between "O" (ovulation) and POAS (Peeing on a Stick) to check if you are in fact PG (Pregnant)! So to pass the time I'm blogging....Yea!

Where I've been in the realm of TTCing:

TTCing - Since July 2006
PG - Sept 2006, singleton
MC - Nov 2006, D&C
PG - March 2007, natural triplets
MC - April 2007, natural
Dx - Hetero MTHFR
Rx - Foltx & Low Dose Aspirin....plus Lovnox injections once PG

Mood = Hopeful!

Time will tell!

Looking and waiting

Still waiting for Mother Nature....ugg...Has anyone seen her?

How fast things change...

This was written on April 4, 2007

OK…My hands are sweating as I type this…we’ll just say I’m going to be under close watch every week….Ummm, so I had the same tech that did my 1st US where I MC’d so I was a bit nervous seeing her, she doesn’t talk much and hardly tells you what’s going on…Ugg so DH is there and said “Ha, it looks like a parrot!” So I’m thinking, that’s good, last time I only had a fetal pole…so I asked do we have a HB and she said “well,” big pause… “Let me look” Ugg the suspense…I started to get worried cuz she had this intense look on her face…then she said “Well, I see the Baby has a hb…and ummm, I’m sorry, want to do a T Vag” Ugg, no prob right? “Yup, baby B has a hb!” What 2 babies! Yipee! “Wait…There is also a Baby C, but Baby C doesn’t have a HB yet, or he might be absorbed as the other 2 kicked him out so to speak.” So I’m dating a week off of my calcs, but my dr didn’t seem worried as multiples can date smaller…So I’m now dating 6 weeks 1 day, Tator A HB was 110, Tator B HB was 103, and French Fry C is on the fence….I’m so running the gamut of emotions…I’d love trips or twins, but I’d be so happy with one. So They are still taking my quants every week, took more today…Dracula is my friend…and I go back on the 25th for another US to see “who’s left” so to speak. So keep and Tators and French Fry in your prayers that all goes well…I’m guessing I might turn out the same as you Stephanie and the French Fry may depart. I’m so happy and clueless at the same time. I thought this appt would make me feel more secure, and it does for the most part, but I’m just feeling strange now…wow, triplets? Or twins! Too fricken cool! I need a nap.

One week later on April 12, 2007... an ultrasound confirmed that I lost all 3 babies. :(

At this time, I'm waiting for Mother Nature to kick in.

Hope

Strange things happen in life when you least expect it. We often ask ourselves why, and seldom get an answer. But do we really need an answer?
