Hi Ladies! Good luck to those TTC and congrats to those who have!

My husband Mark and I have been together since Oct 01' and married since July 28, 04'. I have 2 boys from a previous marriage, ages 13 and 9. He has a boy 18, and a girl 16 also from a previous marriage. After his daughter was born he had a vasectomy. In February of 07' he had it reversed and the doctor gave him a 90% chance of success!!! We were so excited! Since February 07' I have not had a BFP once, but my AF has been all over the place. I was always 25-28 days. Now we are anywhere from 20-40. We are going to both be tested for abnormalities and see what's going on.

UPDATE! June 26th, 08'

We got a semen analysis completed, finally! Good news is his counts are phenomenal. Like over 4 BILLION...BILLION! Anything over 20 million is fertile...BUT, they are not moving. ZERO motility. So, we are waiting to see if it's the meds he takes, diet, smoking, etc...They are testing again in a few weeks. Also, we looked under a microscope a few months back and saw movement. I was reading online that the zero motility can be transient. But, I was also reading about sperm antibodies and that is scary. But, I think if that's the problem his count would be low. And I know it's not a chomosome defect because he has kids. We are cautiously optimistic...keep us in your prayers!

August 16th, 08'

Well, I haven't been keeping track of things as much since the zero motility news. We are going to get another sperm analysis done. The doctor thinks the hospital may have screwed up since his count was so high. It's very odd to have such a high count, and yet have zero motility. I will keep you all posted on the results when we test. I am still charting on FF, but seems like he is never home during my fertile time. I keep telling myself that is why it's taking so long! But, in the meantime I have been trying to lose weight. So far have lost 40 pounds. 188 to 148, want to be 125-130 ish...getting closer! YAY!! In my photos, probably around 165.

Message to all This may be interesting to some of you. Seema`s email is seema.modhvadia@rdftelevision.com

Hi there,

I work for a television production company based in the UK . We are currently making a documentary for ITV1 exploring the issues surrounding pregnancy and eating disorders. The film will be a thoughtful and insightful look into this extremely sensitive subject.

We’re in the research stage of our production and very keen to chat to women who are, or have been, pregnant whilst having an eating disorder.

If you’re interested in having a chat or finding out more about our documentary, it would be really great to hear from you. All communication would be in complete confidence.

You can contact me on: seema.modhvadia@rdftelevision.com

Sx

Hi sweetie! Just checking in to see how you all were doing?


Juniper Willow - Thursday, 24 July
Hi all just wanted to let you know that the cruise was fabulous..all is well with baby..yes, I broke down on the ship and had an u/s on ship and there he was sucking his thumb and being adorable. the doctor called all the staff in to see my little guy as many have never seen an u/s. One guy started to cry and said that was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen on the ship...I had to agree! I swear I could stare at my baby all day.:) So, now I am in NY and tomorrow I take the train and see my hubby after two weeks and start the joy of house hunting and then house settling. We came back to sad news. My grandmother passed away while I was on the ship..she was a grand ole 102!! But I looked fwd to sharing my baby with her...but as my friend said, now she has a front row seat!:) But my uncle with whom she had been living the last 8 years along with my aunt is in critical condition and I worry my aunt may lose her husband and mother in the same week. He has pneumonia and then had a heart attack in the hospital and is now bleeding internally...so if you could spare a prayer for him, please offer one up. We are waiting to hear funeral arrangements as all eyes are on my uncle right now. But, we, baby and me are fine...just saddened. so thanks for all your thoughts while i was traveling!!I am so glad now I took the cruise but was worried at the length of it...but glad we are here and still going fine! NY is hot and now rainy but great to back in the USA!

Hello, I'll be praying for you and your husband! Hopefully things will work out soon. Good luck to you. I have 2 boys myself from a previous marriage, ages 16 and 13. They keep me on my toes all day long. Baby No. 3 due Christmas Day. I think its another boy.

hi there as you all know by my blog..IT IS A BOY..but I wanted to share the rest of my NT screen tests with you because many have asked. The measuremenst wer immediately read and were great 1.5 and well within "normal" they then took blood for what they call a second testing..and we got ourt blood results back yesterday...these screens just give you a risk factor and cannot rule out DS or other problems completely but...Before the test due to our ages and family history our chances of achild with DS was 1 in 68..kind of scary and then they called yesterday and said our reulst were fabulous and the now risk factor is 1 in 1,312...the same risk as a healthy 20 year old!! So, they said to enjoy my 20 year old body.:) who knew!:) anyway, we weren't gping to do an amnio anyway due to tyhe risk factor and of course, we'd be keeping our little boy regradless but the doctor said he wouldn't even suggest one with these results and that he would just do teh quad 4 and the u/s at 20 weeks so we are! Just wanted to update ya'll...still packing away and tryyingh to get ready..can't believe I am leaving europe in just 5 days!! what a new life we have ahead of us!

woke up in a very thoughtful mood today, my man has been cheating no suprise there the guys a born bastard! but there comes a time when u have to look at your situation and ask if a nice lifestyle and stuff is worth all the stress and humiliation and sleepless nights? answer no its not !! ive got that used to bein around him living in his house working for him ect that it just seems like the big wide world is a scary place at the minute! my friends are determined that i leave him this time as his latest fling has been goin on for over 14 months yeah long time considerin how we ttc'd for over a year at his suggestion ????? so feeling pretty low and shitty today and hoping for sum divine intervention lol??


lisalulu - Monday, 7 July
Thank you so much! I swear the dog is still like "what the heck???". Meanwhile the baby is completely fascinated. He LOVES the dog. I just don't think the dog particularly loves the baby...yet. I think eventually they will be best buddies. Hopefully : )
