Gone...

Posted by angelpoo11 , 16 May 2013 · 459 views

I'm sorry but this is going to be a dark and morbid entry about my marriage...

During what should be the happiest time of my life, I feel all alone. I have a great husband. A man that provides for me, cooks for me, listens to me talk, cares about me, and never gets angry... yet... I feel like things are not what they used to be. What happened to our conn...

Was it the right thing to do?

Posted by angelpoo11 , 29 April 2013 · 360 views

Do you ever find yourself asking this question? Maybe I'm having a moment of weakness and this is crazy talk because most women struggling with infertility would kill to be in my shoes, pregnant and waiting for the arrival of my bundle of joy. But were there ever a time you wondered if this was the right thing to do?

Having to get fertility treatments m...

Out of my cave

Posted by angelpoo11 , 25 April 2013 · 244 views

Wow hasn't it been forever since my last blog entry? Yes, I retreated into my pregnancy cave... I am sorry I left everyone hanging about me, and I apologize to all my due date buddies that I abandoned. Everything felt so surreal being pregnant and this pregnancy hasn't been easy on me at all. So what has happened since my last entry?

Early ultrasounds - A love/hate relationship

Posted by angelpoo11 , 13 December 2012 · 542 views

I've been trying to stay positive since my last beta. The 2 weeks plus wait for the first ultrasound was unbearable. The ultrasound was suppose to be scheduled for 7 weeks and 1 day (12/14) but I started spotting and even found a few clots on 6 weeks and 3 days, so I called my clinic and asked for an early ultrasound. Looking back, I think the...

Anxiety and sadness

Posted by angelpoo11 , 28 November 2012 · 471 views

This is completely not what I thought getting a BFP would feel. I have been nervous the whole way through but today I felt extra emotional. I am not sure why. I feel so disconnected to the world now that I am in-between. I achieved a pregnancy, yes, but I don't feel normal. Sometimes I feel like I am dying to share my news but pull myself back. I know...

Emotions @ 13dp5dt

Posted by angelpoo11 , 26 November 2012 · 386 views

Woke up at 5:30am with severe nausea. Stayed in bed and snuggled with DH until 7 and we headed for the clinic for beta#2. The place was a zoo today! Waited over 30 mins just for bloodwork! The wait for the phone call was even longer! For beta #1, they called at 11am and I was ready with my cell phone in my hand at 11am sharp today. 11:00... n...

whisper The P word... sshhh...

Posted by angelpoo11 , 24 November 2012 · 467 views

Can I say it now? I don't know! We've told close family members but has yet to mention anything to friends. Maybe I'm a little ahead of myself, should I focus on a good second beta before getting too excited? Or should I go google "best strollers" and make a list of baby items I want to buy? Oops, wait, I already did the latter.....

Early Beta - 9dp5dt

Posted by angelpoo11 , 22 November 2012 · 819 views

Forgive the ever so creative title of this post. I am in disbelieve and shock right now! I've been getting some very uncomfortable bloating and nausea, so I emailed my nurse yesterday and she asked me to go in for an early beta today. I spent almost all of yesterday googling "beta 9dp5dt" and failed to come up with a number that I would...

6dp5dt - BFP maybe?

Posted by angelpoo11 , 19 November 2012 · 677 views

This is going to sound so strange! I peed on today's stick wrong and initially, it had no line and no dark space going across the window like you usually get... I think I didn't get enough urine on it... So I waited a few minutes and there is it! The second line! This is what it looked like about 5 minutes after the test: (today...

Glimpse of hope - 5dp5dt?

Posted by angelpoo11 , 18 November 2012 · 744 views

Ok... I have to say that I officially HATE the dollar store tests now... Never again... I thought I'd test out my trigger(especially because I had 2 shots of Ovidrel) so if I get 2 lines, I will know it's a real BFP. Being cheap, I opted for the dollar store tests and I tested negative 3dp5dt and 4dp5dt. So today is 5dp5dt and I thought I...
