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.

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

he is indeed. typing with 1 hand here. he was born at home in a birthing pool - about 20 hours in total but with quite a long beginning latent phase. the birth was everything i could have wanted - it was fantastic!

All is well on my end. Yes, we saw the gestational sac, the yolk sac, and saw and heard the baby's heartbeat. It was exciting. I am feeling pretty good, except I am totally and completely exhausted. Not much morning sickness, but I do have waves of nausea. So far, so good. I am glad DHs spermies are abundant. Good luck with getting them moving! Best of luck to you both!

Wonderful to hear about your hubby's surgery!! Wow! Sounds like you two are in with a great chance, once the motility issue is sorted out... but um... icing his balls? lol, sorry... what on earth for? Is it a post operative thing, or do they really think it will help with the motility?


momof2luvbugs - Wednesday, 25 June
Thank you!!!


nancy26 - Wednesday, 25 June
aw hon thank you so much for the beautiful compliment - I certainly don't feel like I look great at the moment! lol you just made my day! I'll take those and all the easy delivery wishes I can get at the moment, too! keeping fingers crossed ;) Would so love for him to arrive nowish... I feel like I've spent 4.5 weeks on maternity leave for nothing... it's also a week less I have with him before I have to go back to work :( Ah well, I really can't wait.

How're you doing?

hey there how are you doing?


tryagain - Sunday, 8 June
Hey lady! I know it's been awhile, i just thot i'd come on here and see how you were doing. We stopped "trying" so hopefully it'll happen on its own now. Haha! My AF is supposed to be here on Wednesday, Jun 11. I've been craving sweets and BBs are sore. i know this could mean either one. If it is AF, it's not gonna be pretty. Usually with this stong of symptoms, she really whoops my ass. so unfair. My hubby went to the doc and got the cup for his semen test, but has yet to use it. I think he's waiting, but i'm not sure for what. I'm not worried about it. I was just reading your post about drinking coffee. Haha! I LIVE on coffee! the caffiene doesn't effect me, so i drink it all day, right up until bed. then fall right to sleep. When not drinking coffee, i'm on soda or sweet tea. i know it's all bad, but decaf coffee tastes like poop, i don't care what they say. i am working on cutting down. i went cold turkey with coffee last summer when i was PG...that and hormones made me a raging bitch. :-) Hit me up, lemme know how you're doin!
