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!

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.

I just wanted to say Thank you to you all for your support! I could not have gotten this far TTC for the past months without you all backing me up and reminding me to keep my faith. Right now, I am grateful for my miracle, Please pray for me that it is a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby, this is our first and I was completely shocked by the test. My joy is over whelming, my mom keeps telling me to be positive, and I am like, I will be positive, but I am waiting for my doc appointment Wednesday to make sure all is well. Either way I have to believe God is taking care of me. No matter what, I know DH and I concieved a life and that is the most amazing feeling for me right now.

Thank you all for your support, I am waiting for my doc to call and go to confirm.

Hi ladies, you all know I returned Sunday evening from NY. My BB's have been sore and I was soo tired yesterday I wanted to lay down. Well, I went to Walmart this morning to buy a first response and I had to go soo bad I went to my car and opened the box and got a test, then went back in top the back. I told the lady I forgot something. LOL I took it and in no time there was two lines!!!! I got my first BFP in Walmart LOL! I was shaking and I asked the lady that worked there to confirm what I was seeing LOL! She said "yyyeeeaaahh, that is 2 lines," I told her That it is a good thing but I expected a negative LOL. I ran to my car to grab my phone and by that time I was crying with joy. DH said what's wrong, I said crying, "nothing, I took a test and it is positive!" He said it is a good thing. I said I know but I am scared now. All the what if's I am just going to enjoy that positive and not worry for now. When we were in NY, the elderly man who lives above my FIL, he told DH, "I hope you have a healty baby" I was like,. does he know something I don't? So anyway BFP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited, I just want the confirmation from my doc.

Hi ladies, I am finally home now. We drove 4.5 hours to SIL and then another 7 hours to Upstate NY. Then back yesterday to VA, then we drove tonight home. I missed my home and my dogs, I had to clean a little, but all is well. I have sore BB's and dizziness theis whole week. I have some slight cramping but no AF. I did not pay attention this month or should I say 2 months, so we will see.

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!

Hi all, I am most likely not going to be around for the rest of the week. We are trying to get to VA to catch a ride to NY for the funeral. We spoke to my FIL this AM and he said the funeral is tomorrow, and we are going to just ride with my SIL, it is safer for all of us and then we will just stay there with her til she returns. So all of you have a good week and a good weekend in case I am not around to talk. Baby Dust to all!

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??

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 : )

I am feeling fine thanks. We are very excited to be having a girl. Can't wait! I know, time is flying fast. I can remember just starting off on this site as TTC and now as you said, I'm almost 6 months along already. Geesh! How are you doing? Hope your keeping good faith!

Hi all! Just a quick update! all is well. Just deep in this move..we have our final wlak through with our landlord tomorrow and I swear we have a house full of junk yet an danother all nighter ahead of us...ARGH!!

My last u/s was lats Tuesday Jun 24 and all was wodnerful. Our little baby was steadily punching his/her little are throughout the u/s.

My Goddaughter got off on Thusrday and her parting was anything but sweet... she was quite disturbing and after her yelling f --this and f---- that for about three hours I ended up yelling back at her to just shut up...anyway, needless to say the trip to the airport was solemn. I was crying all day afraid I had hurt my baby with the over emotional scene..but she is gone an dsafely back in Korea and her three years with us is over although she saddled us with a bunch of her stuff to mail but we'll get to it eventually. It was the first time I ever yelled at her in anger so I was a bit upset but I couldn't get her to stop yelling.And I am sorry we parted in such terms..of course, she now apologizes profusely and alreay wants to come back an dlive with us but she is 18 an dready to face the world.:) without us.:)

So, I have been a bit worried but no pain, no bleeding, still exhausted and jsut came from church where I was humbly reminded this is all in God's hands and I just have to trust that all is well.

11 weeks tomorrow! I am so excited! Thursday July 3 I have my NT screen and will get to see my baby again.;)

No computer anymore so I probably won't update until after Thursday! Thanks for checking in. sorry for the long message! Have a Blessed day and thank for all the thoughts and paryers! 11 weeks and feeling GREAT!

Hey hun how are you? Hope you're well? God the time is flying so quickly, nearly into week 26!! Jake is the fave at the moment and seems to be sticking. He is a wriggler and at the midwife yesterday he was laid back to back so she couldn't get his heart only through the cord but he has moved today and is making my tummy so tight and itchy!! Hope everything good with you? x
