Kitchen Diva said:Yes, we've been trying for almost 12 years.
I went 3 months without a period and thought for sure I was pregnant, as I've never been late. Sadly it was just all a part of my severe hormonal imbalance. This month I'm 8 days late so far...that's twice Since December 2007.
I'm sad because I went through every symptom a pregnant woman goes through yet it was only too much progesterone in my system. My body does not make it's own progesterone, or testosterone so I have to take them in a cream and orally every day! Been on HRT for 1.5 years. I'm only 36 years old. I'm on HRT because Doctors medically induced menopause in me when I was 26 years old to try and minimize my endometriosis symptoms. Instead it shut down my ovaries and sent my body into a downward spiral of shutting down, and not working properly.
It's been a long battle and I long for a little boy...I am choosing to believe that God will still bless us with a child. Even though DH is 45!
To all of you who are trying- best of luck and God Bless!!!![]()

pjpamchef said:Keep praying, it took me 14 years! Drs realized they were treating me wrong, I was 40 and 42 when I gave birth!!
Gillian, sniff, sniff... Its so good to "see" you!gilliandanielle said:Something drew me to Chefsuccess today, and I think it was this!! I don't come on very often but for some reason I woke up and came straight here... Congrats a hundred times over! I couldn't be any happier for you and you deserve it so much! I will be occasionally popping in to see how you are doing!
Debbie! Thank you. This is CRAZY!!!DebbieSAChef said:CONGRATULATIONS!!!
A COFFEE SHOP, AND A BABY ALL AT THE SAME TIME! WHEWWW, WELL MANY PRAYERS ARE COMING YOUR WAY! I REMEMBER THAT THREAD AND I AM SO GLAD YOU ARE BEING BLESSED THIS YEAR!
I remember when I wanted to throw my nutritionists plan out the window, literally!!Be Strong!
I hope you and beanie are healthy and safe!

Nikked: I was thrilled for you. I was hoping it would happen for me. I'm not in such a rush, but DH is 42 and he fears he won't be able to play ball. BUT I know he'll be fine!nikked said:Anne, I am SO happy for both of you. I know it's been such a struggle. I still remember feeling guilty when I popped up pregnant with Asa, thinking about how hard y'all had been trying.
I will be praying for you and your little "Beanie"! Asa just turned one on the ninth, which I absolutely cannot believe! The time goes by so fast, even when it seems to stand still...hubby will be home in 4 months. It feels so good to be on the last third of this year!!!
ok... I wear a 18/20 or 2x. Its hard to tell because I lost weight, but of course now I'm gaining in new spots. LOLchefann said:Anne-What size t-shirt do you wear? I have a lead on something...![]()
AJPratt said:Oh, and to add something... My Mom was told she couldn't have children. They actually started the adoption process. Well, in an awful accident, my Mom was bit by a dog, and he actually took off part of her nose and most of her mouth. She was in the hospital and they ran a bunch of tests, and found out she was pregnant with me. She learned while on a table, with her mouth wired shut that she was pregnant. The doctor told her to have an abortion. And, he was probably trying to help by saving her some additional heartache explaining because of all of the surgeries that if she maintained the pregancy to term that it was most likely that I would have severe problems and that it could be dangerous for her as well. She refused to do any of that, saying it didn't matter, that she had gone too far to give up now. I will spare some of the details, but to be honest, in the beginning, she had a tough time being pregnant and going through the surgeries. My Mom always tells me not to give up because I am a fighter--and that I have been since conception, literally.
I guess my point is that science (aka a doctor) only takes you so far... God does the rest.
AJPratt said:I am 18 weeks pregnant; due on August 19th QUOTE]
We're 10 days apart in our pregnancies! That's too cool... keep us posted on how everything goes. We find out the sex on Wednesday, CAN'T WAIT!

AJPratt said:I am very forgetful and have a hard time concentrating. Someone called it "Baby Brain". Well, that's me.
janetupnorth said:Anne - wonderful story and glad you are here and able to bring another life into this world!
I'm glad your stuff is wonderful and MAKES you rest!
Kitchen Diva said:(hee-hee) It is important to have a good stuff! (hee-hee)
(sorry Miss Janet- I love you therefore I teaseth you!)
janetupnorth said:Got it fixed - it's been a LONG day!
Oh so very true!KellyTheChef said:Hate to be the one to let you in on the secret, but the Baby Brain doesn't go away! I think the baby takes some of your memory out as he's being born, and you never get it back!
pamperedlinda said:Oh so very true!

Or my stubborness. LOLChefBeckyD said:What a beautiful story Anne - now it's more clear where you get your strength of character!
AJPratt said:Or my stubborness. LOL
Thanks, guys. Oh well, so much for Baby Brain going away. Maybe when I'm not so overwhelmed things will be better.
chefmeg said:I am with Kelly on that one~your doc would know best how to proceed at this point...don't jump to any conclusions without consulting the GYN first!
I'd contact your OB for them to tell you what is going on and check things out.If the blood is black, you know that it isn't fresh, it is dried. It has pooled in your uterus for awhile. What that is a sign of though, who knows...it could be multiple things (some not good). Best to be safe and go in.milkangel said:hi all i have posted on here a while back and i now i am down with a bad cold and a caugh since last wed. yesterday i was going to the bathroom and i eather caughed or snezzed really hard and when i wipped there was blood from the cervix only a little bit and then it was over but the las two mornings ben waking up with the undies black and nothing when i wipe this has not happend last 9 months of trying and now i feel like it could have happend and i sould not expect my period till next week or the week after what do you all think? i would like your input on this.
