Third time's a charm? (third birth month board intro)
anitaflora
member
Hi ladies!
Even though I'm EXTREMELY hesitant to intro, I think I feel ready. I intro'd on the Jan 2013 board and had a missed m/c in June. Then I intro'd on the June 2013 board only to have to leave a few days later. While waiting to see my RE for the first time, since I didn't have any guidance one way or the other I figured what the heck, we'll just try again. What's the worst that could happen? So we did... and to my amazement I got a positive test the day I was scheduled to see my RE, which was 11/5. So I'm currently on 2 200mg progesterone daily and a baby aspirin daily. So far my HCG levels have been on the definite LOW side (which btw has me still freaked out and would love to hear any success stories if anyone has any!). But, they are doubling every 2.5 days, so the doctor is pleased with that. But I will go back for another blood draw tomorrow morning and I think maybe Wed morning.
Yesterday at the playground with my son I just kind of had a moment where I lost it a little. And then later I realized more specifically why. I was thinking about my mom SO much. She passed away in 2008 before I was ever pregnant. Anyway, I called my aunt (my mom's sister) and talked to her for a while and that helped. And then as I was talking to my husband later in the day I totally broke down. Because I told him, "SHE would be the one to be calling me and wanting to know the blood results right away. SHE would be on the phone with me all the time asking me how I was feeling and how things were going and telling me not to worry. She would have been just as worried and wanting to know everything right away as I am!" And I had this moment where I realized - she would have cared more than any friend (even my most bestest bestest BFF), more than my aunt (who I'm extremely close with) - more than my dad or brother or sister in law. And I just miss her.
Anyway - sorry for the long intro - but please forgive me in advance if I'm a worrisome post whore! I hope that sharing that in advance will help you understand if you're ever thinking, "give it a rest lady and stop worrying!"
Thanks for reading. I really hope I get to stick around on this board. Not ready to be part of the blog yet or update my siggy or anything.... but hopefully soon. Congrats SO much to all the new mammas!! And second or more time mammas! Look forward to hopefully being part of the board!

Sorry for the loss of your mom. It must really be hard not to have her around for such big life events.
Congratulations on your BFP. Wishing you H&H 9 months, and FX for a sticky baby. Good luck.
