Sorry I haven't been on in awhile but we have had a rough month. On Sept. 6 I gave birth to my babies and lost both of them at 21 weeks and 3 days. I had preterm labor and we are not sure why. They thought I might have an incompatient cervix but it does not look like it. My husband and I are doing ok, just hurting. We are going to take a year off from the IVF pro...1 Recommendation13 Comments

I take this blade to my wrist,
hoping I won't miss.
I can't take this life anymore.
All I can see is endless pain.
I hope one day I cut too deep,
or take some pills and go to sleep,
never to arise from this painless retreat.
But I know I must awake,
for if I don't I hurt those at stake,
and in that alone would cause my fate.
I never could stand the hurt I would make,
to condem tho...3 Recommendations6 Comments -
MY FATHER WILL BE GO GOING IN FOR HIS HEART SURGERY MONDAY MORNING. HE IS HAVING A 7 WAY BYPASS. PLEASE KEEP US IN YOUR THOUGHTS.
MY BROTHER AND I HAVE NEVER REALLY BEEN THROUGH ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE. ALL OF OUR FAMILY MEMEBERS ARE STILL ALIVE AND WELL. ALL OF OUR GRANPARENTS LIVED IN ANOTHER COUNTRY WHILE WE WERE GROWING UP. WHEN THEY ALL PASSED AWAY, IT WAS SAD BUT DID NOT HIT HOME AS THIS I...1 Recommendation9 Comments -
BFN.
I got the call mid-way through my 12 hour work day yesterday, so I spent the day until 2 distracted, anxious and hopeful, and the rest of the day trying not to break down. I got very little work done. When I got home, I started to cry. I couldn't speak and tears rolled out of my eyes. They still are. I don NOT like feeling this way. My poor hu...1 Recommendation12 Comments -
I was feeling a bit of a basket case before I left for work this morning, all moody and emotional with a killer headache. You know, the kind of morning when the cat scratches at you and you burst into tears. I was just convinced that AF was going to start at any minute. On my 3'rd trip to the bathroom I started to relax. Being the nuerotic freak I am I decided to check...1 Recommendation11 Comments

"Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end"
For just a few minutes I really let myself get hopeful again. I thought maybe, just maybe, I would get my miracle this month. AF is starting as I type. I am not tearful, or depressed, but I feel the impact of all of this grieving.
It has been a stressful few days. My DH found out that his Granddad was ...1 Recommendation14 Comments -
We are back from our trip to Atlanta. I wish it has been a happier time. We made it to visit Granddad. He was pretty sick when we arrived, but he cheered up and we visited for about an hour and a half. But then his condition deteriorated and he was sent to the ER, once he was stabilized he was sent to a hospice facility, but he passed away just before entering the building...1 Recommendation8 Comments

Today I find myself seriously considering the lap band surgery. I saw my medical notes today, dr says I am now morbidly obese and without bariatric surgery my health will probably never improve. Said on my chart either pre-diabetic or diabetic.
I don't know what to do. I would like to try to do the diabetic diet again, as it worked for me when I was younger. But no that I am older I don't ...1 Recommendation10 Comments -
Well, I knew it was coming. I could feel it. Yes, AF is starting, despite my being on progesterone. I didn't even make it to beta. What a huge let down.
I am glad we did invest in Shared Risk and will talk to the doctor Wed. about where to go from here. I guess I should call tomorrow, assuming I will be full flow by then. I know I will build back up t...1 Recommendation25 Comments
