About Me
I am a new mum to a beautiful girl & recently married. I thank God for giving us our daughter and delivering her safely. I am currently pregnant again and praying that this baby will be born safely. We had conceived twins. God chose to take one from us early. We are devastated by the loss, and I find comfort only in knowing the baby is now with Him.

Pls read my journal entry for today. Did they remove my messages from your mailbox too?I have several confirmations that they are going to my friends' mail, and removing my personal e-mails! Good grief. I would not be surprised if they closed my account altogether. Please send me a personal e-mail address just in case!

Prayer
Thanks for your message. Yes, my levels are good everything seems normal. Just really hoping for a baby in 2010. I'm coping fairly well, I have my ups and downs. But overall, still scared but very hopeful we will have a child next year.

Hug
AF is 2 days late now! My endo pain is subsiding HUGELY! VERY optimistic, but trying to not get my hopes up too much.
Hoping you are ok, as is baby.... -
I’m With You
thanks...period is due tonight, so no more waiting. My pain is decreasing, but still getting BFN (but that happened when I was pregnant). My BBT chart is IDENTICAL to when I was pregnant.
Fingers crossed for both of us to have healthy babies in 2010!!!

Close Endometriosis
I have lived with endo since I was 10, and find it a very lonely and difficult problem to cope with. It would be so nice to hear other people living with the same thing.
Treatments
- Laser Surgery Somewhat Helpful
- Two surgeries, first made it worse (bad op) second put it back to the normal pain level. I have a daughter now so muct of cleared up a lot of adhesions! Second op very quick, easy recovery. First op was a different story.. But don't be put off! Periods got lighter and pain lessened a little for some time :)
- Progesterone Working / Worked
- For the endo, it had limited use but did lessen my bleeding and clots. For maintaining the pregnancy, I thank God that it is available. My little girl would not be here without the troches, pessaries and injections!!
- Progesterone Cream Somewhat Helpful
- Did not help much with pain and vomiting, but lessened my periods from 10-14 days to 7-12 days.
- Provera Not Working
- Caused a period that lasted over 8months with a great deal of pain and heavy bleeding. I started this therapy right after the first op. However I have heard of it being effective for some women.
Close Parenting Newborns & Infants (0-1)
I have a brand new beautiful little girl!!
Treatments
- Attachment Parenting Working / Worked
- We discovered through experience that the best thing for our little girl has been constant contact with mum in the sling and co-sleeping (when she could get a little milk from the breast it worked great overnight) She has recently decided to go in the pram and the cradle, without us forcing her and is very interactive. She seems very secure already and is such a curious little baby!
- Breast Feeding Not Working
- I tried my heart out to give my daughter breastmilk. She just cannot breastfeed. I pumped every feed for her for 4months but now have a medical condition preventing me from doing this. The whole experience was very difficult, always painful and stressful, lots of blood and bruises!! But so worth it to give her the best start I could!
Open Pregnancy
Pregnant with our second!! :)
Open Miscarriage
Have miscarried in the past, just recently with this pregnancy (we were expecting twins) and finding it a little difficult at times to be strong for my daughter and our surviving baby.
