I am a POASoholic....

What is that exactly?
POAS= Pee on a stick (aka taking a home pregnancy test)
and well...yes... I am addicted to taking them...

It all started back a few years ago when we were TTC our daughter Kaitlyn. I had discovered the world of dollar store tests!! The first time I only bought one, and with sheer delight, ran home to take it, feeling pretty excited I just saved myself 16 bucks on a box of first response tests that I had NO business taking at 7 DPO...Of course after seeing the inevitable BFN, I started thinking of other reasons to go out to the $ store and then bought 5... and then went to another $ store a few miles away and bought 10...and so on...
we got pregnant with Kate on the 2nd cycle trying, so my addiction did not get to develop fully...

Fast forward a few years...Now, TTC for 11months and, they NOW have these amazing little things called IC's aka internet cheapies = cheap pregnancy test strips.
100 of these suckers for 13 bucks!?? are you kidding me!?? That is like a dream come true! I can test to my hearts content... the bad part... I need to be put in a loony bin by the end of the TWW....LOL...not really... BUT just about! I really enjoy testing. I almost get a rush waiting and wishing and hoping for those two pinks lines. I am not bothered by BFN's or evaps... I just take each one with a grain of salt till AF arrives...I think of it as more of a way to pass the TWW time. Between my testing and tweaking other's tests... I def keep busy.

OK... now to keep from POAS again tonight...Yes, I did POAS at 6 dpo....

What you should know if you are considering a tubal reversal

By
Its been 8 years. 8 years since we took a trip to NC to see DR. Montieth in Chapel Hill. I remember being so excited. I had this picture in my head of how it was going to go during, and after it all. For those of you who don't know, I had my tubes tied in 2009, after the birth of my 3rd, directly following a traumatic still birth. It was a decision made out of fear and trauma, not an informed decision. I ended up having adverse health issues (PTLS) after, and was desperate to find a solution. I stumbled upon a private chat room with others also struggling. Several had gone for a reversal, and seemed to feel so MUCH better after. I had already seen my doctor umpteen times, and they offered no solutions, and insinuated it was "in my head".... I saw all of these ladies posting the day OF surgery saying that they felt relief! I was like, "Yes, this is it!!"... So we saved the 6 Grand, and went and did the reversal. I was PUMPED. I started a blog, YouTube video and F...

Lost for words...

I have been a funk...Not really much to say that has not already been said before..I feel like such a broken record....But I guess I should start somewhere, and give a little update of some kind... I have posted a few picture quotes that reflects some of how I am feeling, but I cannot seem to articulate MY feelings right now, in a personal way that is comprehensible to others, and doesn't make me look like an ungrateful bitch... I guess I will start off by saying, we had another chemical this last cycle...( + test's at 6/7 dpo- 9 dpo, (I tested early cause I almost threw up while socially smoking a cigg and having a drink with my friend and I didnt temp so I didn't know really where my cycle was for sure) and by 10 dpo tests had faded some, and AF came the NEXT day, even while still taking 800 mgs of progesterone supps (which I did start late at 7dpo, the day I got my first positive but none the less), giving me a whopping 10 day LP...=/ Here is one of my FRER's f...

I am scared to even get a little excited.... I want to be elated right now...I do...But all I can think of are the "what if's"....I am going to try and stay as positive as possible, and keep saying over and over..."My body WILL carry this baby to term, I will have a take home baby!" Here is a pic ( below) of the dried test progression
