This is a repost (I posted it on our old board also).... I just noticed that Amanda started us a new thread... THANKS AMANDA!!!! I always forget to do that!Well, the last several days have been eventful to say the least. Thursday and Friday of last week I was sooo tired, that both nights I was in bed by 7pm! Friday I ended up having the worst headache that I have ever had, I had the parents pick up their kids two hours early. I have never done that before, but my head hurt so bad that I was throwing up. I caved and took a Tylenol. I never take any sort of medication. I felt so guilty, what if I am pregnant? I know it will not hurt the baby, but still... I do not want to take any chances. The Saturday I started to feel better, so Mike and I decided that the three of us were going to go to Mike's parents house for Christmas. Well, we get on the road, and the BREAKS IN THE VAN STOP WORKING!!! What is up with that? It scared the crap out of me. So, Mike (with all of his racing and mechanic experience) drives the van home..... but cannot figure out what is wrong with it. He had never been stumped when it come to a vehicle. He has worked on everything from Cars, to Semi's, to Locomotives! So... it is going into the shop on Wednesday, I hope it does not cost us an arm and a leg.... Sunday Mike's parents came here for Christmas. Thank God that was over. I feel like we have been celebrating Christmas for ages. His parents were actually pretty nice. Cheryl took her trip to Wal-mart (she always goes to WalMart while she is here)... no clue why, they have their own walmart.... The worst part was when we were talking about having a baby, the subject of names came up... so we told them, and she had NOTHING to say. She made an odd face and changed the subject.... oh, well. Other then that.... I am 5 DPO according to FF, BUT I think I O'd on CD 16.... I know i keep saying that, but I really do. I feel like crap, but I am trying not to read to much into it. I am also having these weird cramps.... I want to be pregnant so bad that sometimes I worry that I am convincing myself to have symptoms.... Amanda: That is so cool that you have an Ultrasound Tech that is determined to find out the baby's gender.... and at the perfect price... FREE! It is hard to believe that you are so close to the 20 week mark! Kristina: The big day is almost here! Ok ladies... I have to finish getting the kids down for morning nap... talk to you soon! Jacque

My temps suck. I hope they go up tomorrow. I am so moody that even the dog wants nothing to do with me. I am tired, hungry, and all I want is some me time. I am not usually like this, but I am not considering these pregnancy symptoms. I am considering them Jacque is a total psycho bit$h and AF is right around the corner symptoms. We are talking major PMS. I hope and pray this is still our month, but if things to not change I am going to be counting myself out really soon. Ok, I just found out that my family carries the gene for Factor 5. It is a clotting disorder. Do not know much about it, but alot of my cousins have it. So that means chances are that my dad carries the jean also. From what I under stand the only way I can have it is if my mom has it too. It is rare, but not too rare... because my dad's siblings all married someone who has it and now all of their kids do too. I have to be tested because I do not know if my mom is a carrier (she passed away) and her parents are also dead. So... now I have to go in for testing. I talked to my DR last night, he is NOT concerned. So that put my mind somewhat at ease. But still..... Factor 5 causes the one thing we all fear.... reaccurant miscarriages. Please pray that I do not carry this gene, and that I get my BFP this month.. told you I was moody, I went from being pissy to crying between the beginning and end of this email..... Jacque

Sorry I completely freaked out earlier... I have no clue what is wrong with me. The Dr told me that I do not need to worry, he said the chances of me having Factor 5 are so very very very very slim. He called me after hours last night to talk to me about it, when I first heard his voice my heart sank, I thought it was going to be bad news. But no, he just called me because he knew that I was a worry wart and wanted to tell me that he thinks everything is ok. After all %30 of all women have a m/c and a million things could have caused mine. He said the chances of Factor 5 causing my last m/c are almost nonexistent. So...... He does not want to test me for it yet, it is a simple blood test to detect it BUT Factor 5 is very controversial, some medical professionals do not even believe it exists. The government sites I went to have next to nothing for info, most of the info I got came from chat rooms and my hysterical cousin....... so, I feed off of other people's experiences and made myself worry over nothing. I am more calm now, and not near as worried I was was earlier today.... As for meds to help the condition, if I do have it - I can give myself daily injections (that is what my cousin Amy is doing) but that is only if I am diagnosed. My DR said if it helps ease my mind I should increase my garlic intake and also drink at least one glass of purple grape juice every other day... both of these foods have a natural effect on keeping your blood from clotting. So... tonight I will be going to walmart to get some juice and garilc... yummy. Talk to you all soon! Jacque

MMMMM!!!! Garlic and grape juice. Ha ha. I'm sorry you are so worried. I have never heard of Factor 5. It seems as though your Dr. isn't concerned though, hopefully that is putting your mind at ease a bit. You know I had CRAZY PMS the month before I got my BFP, and I generally am pretty low key at all times of the month. Maybe it's all your hormones getting ready for your BFP next month if it's not going to happen this month. I'd like to write more but I just got off of work and I need to put Abbie to bed-I'll talk to you tomorrow!
Love and sticky babydust! Amanda

Amanda: In two days you will be 20 weeks! So, is it time to get that sonogram done yet, do you know when you are going to have it done? I drank my grape juice like a good girl, and you know... it was as dry as heck. Oh well, it is better then most things I have tasted. Oh, I got your PM. I LOVE YOU, and so does Mike! lol --- All of the ladies on the Illinois Board (me, Linda, and Diane) might be getting their BFP's this month. We have all been ttc after a m/c and just about the same amount of time.... and they are both pregnant. I just discovered Linda's ticker, she is on a Cruise so we have not heard from her yet! --- I hope I am next! We will know in just a few days! Kristina: Today is the big day!! I wish I new what time your appointment was! Jacque

So I took Abbie to see "Dragon Tales Live!" today. It was only an hour long with a 15 minute break in between halves and she barely made it through without a meltdown. I wonder if she has ADD or something. I don't really think so, I think she just has a lot of energy and can't be expected to sit in a seat for that long-no matter what is going on in front of her.
Jacque-Well I'm glad you and Mike enjoyed my PM. I hope it helped you enjoy the act more-I have no doubt that Mike enjoyed it more, LOL.
Kristina-I'm a little worried that we haven't heard from you since your US. I hope everything is going okay.
OH!! For names, since we are all A's it will have to be an A name. Anthony Vincent for a boy. We haven't picked one for a girl, this week I kind of like April Riley and Alyson Grace. Now that I type it out I don't really like April Riley (too many of the same letters). I haven't found a girl name that I really like. I don't actually care for Vincent as a middle name either but Alex insists since it's his Dad's name. It reminds me of this weird boy I went to elementary school with who literally was a cross dresser in 1st grade. He was very nice-but obviously very confused. I'm sure that as an adult he has had a sex change. Oh well, at least it's not the first name!!!
Love and sticky babydust! Amanda
PS-when is your test date Jacque? It should be 15 days after your last +OPK but I know you can't wait that long!!!

Well I'm having a GIRL and I can't believe it.
Me and my husband are very happy about having a little girl at least I can dress her up in little pink dresses and put pink little ribbons in her hair HOW CUTE!!!!!
My family was so happy about hearing the news about a GIRL and so many people thought that I was having a girl so they were right.
I'm feeling better I think I just had a bug or something who knows but I hope it's all gone and never comes back. I'm eating better too and my appetite has come back so that good.
How is everybody else doing?

Thanks Kristina: Like I just told Jennifer - I feel like crap, I have spent most of the day crying. The thing is that AF is not here and my temps are still pretty high. I could get a late BFP, but you know.... it is the wait that kills me. Sometimes I feel like I am the only person (other then you ladies and Mike) that understands what I am going though. It is so hard to want something so badly and have virtually no control over when you are going to get it.... I am trying not to give up hope but month after month of no success is really getting to me. This is month 11 since we started TTC, month 7 after the m/c....
