Now that we have chosen a donor I am waiting to find out if she is available.
I spoke to the nurse today & she is trying to get a hold of the potential donor.
Apparently this girl also donates at another agency in this area so we are not sure if she is even available.
If she isn't I will probably be looking into another donor....I am not waiting another six months.
If she isn't availa...1 Recommendation23 Comments -
So, I went in for my 1st beta this morning. They don't run it until they draw another on Sunday...so again I wait.
I am feeling very discouraged...and not so very pregnant! I head back to work for the first time since my ET & I am not looking forward to the questions, the well wishes, or the "if it doesn't work this time there is always next time!" I went to acupuncture &...2 Recommendations15 Comments -
I am 6 weeks today. I am still feeling sick. I am now averaging once or twice a day getting sick. I do much better if I remain very still for at least an hour after I eat. I wake with DH in the AM around 6ish to get my shot, fall back to sleep about an hour later, wake around 10, shower around noon, nap by 2 (for 3 hours on average), unable to gain the strength to do much. By the time DH ge...2 Recommendations31 Comments

Dec. of 08' my family doc wants to order blood tests mostly to check up on my cholesterol. My WBC came back elevated so she consulted with a hemotologist who ordered a BCR/ABL Fish Test. I had no idea what that was. S...1 Recommendation -
...sinking, heart wrenching feeling in the pit of my stomach!!!!
I am not sure what is wrong & I really hope it isn't a mother's intuition but I just am so scared of losing this baby all of a sudden. I have had a good feeling all along...but today something changed. I can't really explain it. I am just so worried. I was watching TV tonight & just burst into tears....I have been...1 Recommendation21 Comments -
I found out last night that my BFF for the last 18 years is being tested today for thyroid cancer. She hasn't been feeling very good, has been having trouble losing weight despite working out with a personal trainer & eating well, and just feels lousy. She went to the MD a couple weeks ago & had a battery of labs drawn. When they got the results the did a physical exam &...1 Recommendation13 Comments

For those of you who don't know....I was at my OB on Thur for a routine appt. He told me that he & the perinatologist have discussed my case in depth & numero...1 Recommendation18 Comments -
.....uuggghhhhh.....sigh........ok......I am a little frustrated! The perinatologist convinced my OB that they should wait to take her out!!!!! They said she looks good & there is no reason to take her yet. I have to say I am rather overwhelmed....I have made it so much further then they ever thought & they keep teasing me with possible time frames. I am so worried we are going to pass th...1 Recommendation19 Comments

No baby today.....no baby for at least 10 days unless my body decides to do something on its own before then. I am 35wks 5 days & Danicka is doing great....much better then her mommy. Neither the OB or the perinatologist can really explain how it is I have gotten this far without complications related to the antibodies. But, they also understand that it hasn't been an easy pregnancy. I am...1 Recommendation20 Comments
