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....

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

Trust & New Pajamas

By
So, a blog comment I got the other day from wonderful woman, and awesome supporter of mine, caused me to pause a bit, and kind of evaluate some things about my faith and relationship with God. Which I truly appreciate, because she was kind and not judgy in her words...And I felt God gently nudge my heart each time I read the comment over... I felt my face start to burn with emotion, as tears welled up in my eyes...And I finally admitted to myself... I do NOT trust God...At least not fully, like I once did... But I desperately WANT to be at that point again....Trusting fully...And filled with peace... I walked into this journey,  to try for one more, 100% SURE , God was calling us/giving us the desire  to have another baby...I/we were, 100% certain we would walk away with a baby in our arms...As a matter of fact, I would have bet my LIFE on it. Now, 3 years later, I am broken, weary, and so utterly soul shattered, that I simply cannot "look" God in the eyes...H...

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...
