Hello there Jody,

Long time no talk to... I've been lurking an awful lot lately.

So much has been happening here where to begin?

The holidays here were very quiet my husband and I actually went and watched National Treasure Christmas day. For the most part we spend the day together and later went for supper at his moms, it was a much different Christmas then I'm used to. For New Years we rang it in with his family which was quite stressful and I was happy when the evening was over. As you may remember my husband's brother and his wife are exepcting shes due in May. The conversation was completely centered around babies, baby names, baby symptons, baby ultra sounds and pregnancies in general. They know know we've been trying for a year + and it was difficult to hear the reason why I'm not pregnant is becuase God just feels now isnt the time and i should sit back and relax and not stress it so much....Alcholism runs in my husbands family so of course there was drinking New year Eve and it tends to be much worse. They need the famous needle test on both me and my sister in law and every single time they do that I ust get angry. It doesnt give me hope it makes me angry... no reason to get angry over it up it angers me LOL.

I had a bunch of blood work done before Christmas and it came back shortly after new years it wasnt good so my doctor called me in to discuss. It turns out that I'm a pre-diabetic insulin resistant and Im not on medication to help with my insulin levels as they were through the roof and were a bit of a concern for him. This cycle is another cycle of course seems like its never going to end and that I"m not going to ever ovulate. I'm waiting patiently for AF or the lack there of and a pregnancy but if AF shows up I can then Schedual a HSG which my specialist wants and at that time my husband will get is SA done. In the mean time my doctor is sending me to see a endrocrinologist and see if maybe there is something else wrong. I have a feeling that it will be a dignoses of PCOS. That is my feeling. So now its just waiting to either O get pregnant or O and get AF. Whatever happens I guess will happens. We are still activily trying and have high hopes or at least I have high hopes it will be soon. I'm busily packing though its 4 months before we move I've packed and labeled boxes of stuff that we don't use on a daily bases. If I could move tomorrow I would.

LOL hopefully that fills you into my travels.

Take care
Taryn

Hi everyone. It's great to hear from you again.

Anywhos, my TTC is frustrating at best. I've, for the most part, gone to lurkdom.

Right now, my job situation is terrible, at best, so I've put TTC on hold until I can get out of the situation. I'm actively looking, but the job market is not great, so it's a waiting game. I've removed myself emotionally from the job, and now I'm a shell - which I don't like to be. When I say "On Hold", I mean I've become a not, not. Not charting, but not preventing. Our holidays were crazy - a wedding on the Saturday before in St. Louis, my DH had to work Christmas Eve, and then we went to my mom's, back later on Christmas Day, we both had to work the day after, and then went duplex hunting with a friend that moved up here from Florida on Wednesday after Christmas.

Taryn - I'm sorry that you had some bad test results. Hopefully you can get on the right path and get this figured out. I know the feeling about being around babies - my sister is the only person in my family that knows about us TTC, so my parents keep dropping hints that they'd like another grandbaby. I haven't mentioned it b/c I know my mom-she'll be constantly worrying and offering suggestions.

Jodi -

for O'ing when you did! That's great!!

Well, this has turned into a novel.

Well, I am here too

I was in the wedding Tiff was speaking about the Saturday before Christmas (my anniversary also, yay for 6 years!); and I am the friend she went Duplex "shopping" with

. Which also means I am the friend that moved to Missouri from Florida. So my holiday was filled to the brim with travel. And now "trying" to unpack...... did I mention I HATE unpacking?? But it is getting there. As for TTC, as you can see, I am still on the same NEVER ENDING cycle I was before. And sadly I can't even go to the Doc to get some meds to bring it on because I am without insurance at the moment. So TTC isn't really going anywhere. At least not until March 1 when the new insurance kicks in. Then I will be scheduling a Doc appt. asap to get this ball rolling again.

Jodi~ YAY!! I hope this cycle ends in a

for you!!! I got tons of good thoughts headed your way!
Taryn~ That sucks about your test results..... but just so you know, I have PCOS as well and I have a little one to show for it..... It just took a TON of meds to make it happen, but it did happen. I am hoping it happens for you quickly!
Tiff~ Uh...... I just saw you so...... I don't have to much to say

jaden222 · #6 (**permalink**) 01-11-2008, 02:07 PM

Wow there seems to be lot going on with everyone.
Taryn-I as well am so sorry for your test results. did your doctor say anything about being diabetic can mess with your ovulation. I will pray and hoe that you do not have pcos, but if you do it would be better to finally be dignosed with it, and get the meds you need. A lot of girls I think once their pcos is being taken care of will ger pg. I will be praying that your time will be coming soon.
Family can be so very hard to deal with. I am so sorry. Maye once you understand everything that you are dealing with you can get together with your family and expain everything that is going on with you and how you are feeling. Hopefully they will understand that you don't need the constant reminders that only cause pain. BIG HUGS SWEETIE! I know it is not easy.

Tiffany-Hope your job situation will change soon, and something will come up for you that will be perfect. I understand the not noting thing. Even though I chart and everything there is nothing else I can really do but keep it in God's hands and know if I am to be pg it will be in His timing. I hope your not noting will turn into something wonderful.

Leiloni-Man I can only imagine still waiting to O and not being able to go to a doctor to get yourself going again. Hoping that you will be oing before March But when March comes I hope that he will be able to get to the bottom of everything for you, and you can get pg again soon!!!

Leilani congratulations on your big move! I remember when Katrina hit and you were displaced for a while......people on the boards were worried because we didn't hear from you. Well, no hurricane worries there in Missouri eh?

Jodi, I hope this early ovulation means good things for you

you_me_and_baby · #14 (**permalink**) 01-22-2008, 09:01 AM

Hey Jodi,

Sorry I didnt post a response to your queries, I'm kind of on lurk status

.

The doctor did mention that because my insul is so high that could be a really good reason why I'm not ovulating very well on my own. Though I'm happy to announce that with being on the metformin I'm feeling fabulous. Still not pregnant but feeling just awsome I think the last time I felt this good I was sixteen. I started the Metformin in the middle of this cycle so if I have another chance if im not pregnant this cycle it will be interesting to see the metformin working from the beginning of a cycle. It should be interesting on how it affects my 'o' date. The doctor has not dx me with PCOS and your absoultly right that its better to know then not. I guess we'll see what happens... There has been so many pregnancy announcements in my life in the last couple of months its shocking. I hope to be announcing mine to sometime in the near future... I guess we'll see and it will be all the sweeter for me because I've been working so hard for it.

Wishing you all baby dust and many dreams.
Taryn

Oh, I hope they can get you all regulated. It's nice to feel awesome - I remember how it was to feel so horrible for so long and then all of a sudden like someone turned the light on. Congrats, and I hope it continues on for you!!!
