It has been a tough yet sweet journey...

September 20, 2007

Hello friends!!

I've been with Fertility Ties since July of this year. I have always had problems with my menstruation since I was a teenager. When I am stressed (it does not matter what's causing it, and sometimes I am not even aware of it), I will miss my periods a lot. The longest has been 6 months of not getting my period. I know it was not healthy, so I finally saw an OB/GYN and asked help if there is a way to make my periods go normal without being put on birth control pills. So, last year, I was given Provera for three intermittent rounds. But that still did not regulate my period. I would still miss my period a lot, and it was getting more and more frustrating. My hubby and I realized that I was just too stressed with my work. So, we decided that I will quit my job and concentrate on baby making. Around that time, my doc also prescribed me 50 mg Clomid to induce my ovulation. The first cycle (June) was not successful because we did not use any fertility monitor, OPKs nor BBTs. On the second cycle (July), I used OPK and BBT, but since it was my first time to use OPK, and I did have conceive last month, except that it was a chemical pregnancy. Then finally, on my third cycle (August), I used new stuff like the Pre-Seed. I even when to a "healing mass" with my mother-in-law...and for us at that time, it was just all about faith if God will make it happen for us. At 12 DPO, I got my first BFP, and by 14 DPO, my pregnancy was confirmed with a blood test.

We have tried on and off since last year, but to no success. When I first tested at 12 DPO, I honestly was not expecting to see a positive result. I was just so punched drunk with all the BIG FAT NEGATIVES I would get before. I thought it will never happen for us...but it did!!

So, to all of you who are still trying...don't ever, every lose hope. It's alright to cry and feel frustrated at times...we're just humans, we can't control our emotions, but we can keep on fighting. IT WILL HAPPEN, DON'T STOP BELIEVING...

BABY DUST to all and GOD BLESS YOU!!

September 20, 2007

Thank you Lexie! May u be blessed with a healthy baby/babies...and thanks for the baby dust..this post is very encouraging!!

September 20, 2007

Yes Lexie thank you, what you have said is wonderful and so encouraging!! I too hope you have a healthy pregnancy and healthy baby. Please keep us posted on everything.

What mg's of Clomid were you taking, and what days??

I start Clomid very soon...hopefully Monday. We will see though. Thanks again sweetie, and take care. Talk to you soon!

September 20, 2007

Nevermind I found where you stated it to me before. What time of the day did you take your Clomid??

September 20, 2007

I took it after breakfast...around 10 a.m. You just have to take it around the same time of the day, that's what my doc told me. Since I took my other vitamins after breakfast, just to avoid forgetting, I took it with my other vitamins. :-) I'm really hoping you'll get your BFP on your first try of Clomid.

September 20, 2007

LOL!! I just read through my first post and excuse me for the typos. I wrote that right after I ate dinner...and I was getting sleepy. My fingers were not typing what I was thinking...hahaha!

September 21, 2007

hey lexie i just want to say that i am so happy for you and i know that every thing will be great man God is so awsome well keep us posted please send us some *************baby dust****** my way :)

September 21, 2007

That's a very sweet message. Thanks a lot. My hubby and I have been trying for a year and a half and are on our second round of clomid. You give me a lot of hope!

September 21, 2007

Thanks Lexie, you are great. I really do hope this round works too, im def. doing 4-8 for sure, made up my mind. I hope the doctor doesnt get mad, but I just have a better feeling about it. I guess im soo scared I would miss it 5-9, or something. I will keep yall posted on if I ovulate or not, but im doing the Babydancing CD9-22 every other day, maybe even longer...haha. Dont want to miss it.

Im calling the doctor in a minute to see if it would be wise to prescribe me to Progesterone after I ovulate, if I ovulate, just to be on the safe side.....I hope they say yes, because it will put my mind at ease I think.

Have a great day sweetie, and babyglue to you!!

Babydust to all TTC, I wish everyone a BFP this coming month or so....best wishes!!!

September 21, 2007

A very inspirational message Lexie! Way to go!! :)

September 21, 2007

Hi Lexie. You are such a sweetheart. I hope that the sticky glue stay and all the others who got their BFP's this month. Thanks for keeping your head up high for us and encouraging us to continue our journey's. Hopefully next month we can get some more BFP's posted up!! ********Baby dust to all********

September 21, 2007

Thank you, girls. I do remember being inspired by messages like those when we were still trying. Everytime AF comes, I would cry for a little bit, then wipe my tears and get back on track. The Clomid did help ease my mind knowing that I'll ovulate because of it. Now, I am in the position of inspiring other women who have been where I have been, and to believe that IT WILL HAPPEN. Pray alot and have faith it will happen.

****BABY DUST TO ALL!!*********

September 21, 2007

Yeah I agree with Lexi. Advancement in science makes wonders, but its God that makes miracles. Prayers give you the strength to accept things as is and relax while the medicine does its job. Have faith and dont ever give up. I was going to give up trying naturally and get into Chlomid when I got my BFP that too, I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2006, had faith and prayers and followed the doc's advice of excercising and eating healthy.

***baby dust****

September 21, 2007

wow, what a great story of encouragement Lexie!!

I too always sit back & leave it in God's hands (after all the crying of course)

I am worried, but I have such a strong faith that it will happen when the Lord wants me to have a baby.

So at the end of the day, Ladies, all we can do is pray!!!

God Bless & ((((((((((((BabyDust))))))))))))))

September 24, 2007

Congratulations, Lexie.

Thank you for being so encouraging becasue alot of us TTCer sure need to hear it sometimes to keep us going.

Thanks again and keep us posted.

November 13, 2007

Lexie I am a bit late but wanted to tell you CONGRATS!!! *****Lots of baby dust to all******

I am in my 17 th week and feeling much better. I am having some issues with my Blood Pressure so they are watching me very close. We were able to conceive on our first round of clomid 50 mg days 5-9 and I feel so blessed. I wish all of you the same!!!

December 21, 2007

Hello ladies!

Oh boy! It's been a looooonng time since I've been on here. Anyway, I'm 18 weeks now and my "baby bump" is already big! hehe! I've been using maternity clothes. The baby has been kicking A LOT...which is very reassuring that he/she is doing fine in there. We can find out what we will have, but hubby and I would want to make it a surprise. I know it's a torture, but I think it's going to be really exciting. :-) I won't have my next ultrasound until I reach 28 weeks...which is by the end of February. Still a long ways to go.

I have a hard time catching up with the posts on here. How are you doing, Ashlee? :-)

December 22, 2007

Awwwwww Lexie you love just so beautiful and I'm so excited for the both of you. I'm praying for you everyday. Pls keep us posted on how you are doing. Much love to you and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

December 22, 2007

Hi Lex! It sure has been a looooong time, but I've been reading your baby site so I know what's going on with you :)

I hope you, Joe and Chantal have a very happy Holiday Season!! :)

December 22, 2007

Awww Lex I am so happy for you!!!! You are such a pretty pregnant woman!!! Take care of that little one! Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to you!!!

December 22, 2007

Ashlee, that is so sweet to light a candle. What a great thing to do, I'm just sorry for the reason why. Love ya girl :)

December 23, 2007

Aww you look soo cute Lexie and im soo happy for you!!

Thats awesome that yall are waiting to find out.

Hope all is well and seems like it is!!

Love ya!

January 10, 2008

lexie- you look adorable!!!!

January 18, 2008

I haven't logged on here again since December 22nd...I've been so caught up with the new business that I barely get online and catch up with what's going on with everybody. Sarah, I reformatted our computer and lost your baby website...can you send it to me again? :-) I saved it in "my favorites" and when I reformatted the computer, everything was erased. grrr..hehe! I'm in the fashion business now. I work at home as a seamstress and bridal alteration specialist. I just published my website--www.exquisitegowns.net. The business is actually not officially open yet as we still have a lot of paper work to finish, but after I signed up with yellowpages.com, someone called me the next day to have her bridal gown altered for her wedding next month. This has been my hobby for a looong time, and now, I am finally making it into a business. I am finally "my own boss" and I can take a leave whenever I want to, take care of the baby and work when the baby is asleep. My clients are the ones coming to me for appointment and I would only go out when I need to get something. So far, this business has been keeping me really busy and EXHAUSTED. I'm pretty sure that once the business is up and running, I will be more relaxed. For right now, I'm a little bit tensed because having my own business is a whole different thing for me. I've never been self-employed until now, but I LOVE IT. :-) I miss making posts on here and I promise to catch up with you guys as soon as all our paperwork are done. I am also starting on making the crib sheets and bumpers.

Ashlee, I am so sorry to hear that...but I am happy to know that everything is doing fine with you. Yes, time flies by sooo fast! I can't believe that in 2 weeks, I'll be 6 months pregnant already. It just seemed like yesterday when we were on here asking Dr. Q about every single symptom that we're having. hehehe! Now that we're close to our second ultrasound, I SOOO WANT TO TAKE A PEEK AT TEH BABY'S GENITALS. hahaha! Sarah, do you know what you're having yet?

January 18, 2008

Wishing you all the best sweetie, and I will let Sarah tell you what she is having.

If yall find out please let us know.

Congrats on the new business thats wonderful.

I work from home as well, with my family owned business, I was working at my parents until November and now im home for good, and loving it. I will be able to tend to our baby, when that time comes when he/she needs me and work when its sleeping. It should work pretty good.

Im wishing you the best and cant wait to see pictures of the baby here in 3 months.

Lots of love!

January 19, 2008

Wishing you the best Lexie and keep us updated on the ultrasound!

January 19, 2008

Hi Lexie- You are so cute!!! I wish you all the best with the new business, baby and everything..please keep in touch

March 08, 2008

Just incase it takes her a little while to get back on here, she is having a baby girl and her name is Isabella, nicknamed Bella.

Exactly what im doing if we have a girl, I love it :) Always wanted to name my first girl Isabella, and Bella for short.

July 12, 2008

Lexie I love your new pic..Bella is just adorable!!!

July 12, 2008

Omg Lexie, you are so funny and Bella is gonna rock out on that guitar!!!! So cute :) Love it!

July 14, 2008

hahaha! Joe took that picture. Joe is a music teacher (specializing in guitar) and he has put that toy guitar on her so she'll be like daddy. After I gave Bella a bath, it was my turn to take a shower. When I got out, Bella had that guitar on her with the straps and everything. hahaha!

July 15, 2008
