Hey ladies!!
I know it's been a while, I've popped in every now and then lately to check up on everybody but haven't had much time to post.
So, the good news. No problems with the cyst since my last appointment. Even better news. Today I was officially 1 day late for AF so I tested and just as I though, a nice digital PREGNANT.
I'm excited but, of course, hesitant. Here's to hoping that the third time is it for us!
Then the bad news. I am so disappointed. There just isn't much joy and excitement shared between DH and I about this. I'm a little excited on the inside and He's happy but we are so reserved. It's just sad that this should be the happiest time of our lives and we just say "ok, good. Let's see what happens." He didn't even ask to see the test. I didn't even take a picture of it.
It's really just not fair!

congrats! we did the same thing, in fact i didn't even tell my hubby until 2 days later cuz i wanted to test more and make sure. and then it was like oh ok. neither of us have talked much about it, and that's partly me too. i'm afraid to get excited just to be hurt again. that's all it is. i know it sucks huh? but just think, as time goes on you guys will be more and more excited.

Ohh, I'm sorry you are having a hard time getting excited about this. If it's ok with you, I'll get excited for you.
WOO HOO!!!!  YOU ARE PREGGERS!!!!
A tiny little being is growing inside of you. What a MIRACLE!! I hope that you and DH can begin to get excited and beome as relaxed as possible about it. I sure hope this is it for you. An APRIL baby would be awesome (spoken by an April person, myself).
Hang in there, girlie!! We are here for you.

Thanks so much ladies!
I think the worst part is you are hearing more and more about people losing babies later in pregnancy. My friends sister just lost her first at 4 months. I don't think I'll ever feel safe.
I remember being pregnant with Dahlia and knowing something could happen but never really worrying about it. I miss that.
I am excited to call my Doctor, the one who gave me the prescription to get pregnant.  He'll be happy and will once again comment on our amazingly fertile marriage. haha We definitely do NOT have problems getting pregnant, just staying that way! I am very thankful for that.
I believe the EDD would be March 29th. Knowing that Dahlia was 6 days late I'm probably going to have an April baby.
I think, sadly, our way of dealing with this is going to be to just not really talk about it much. So far I'm feeling ok, except I knew before I missed AF that I was pg... could tell by my nausea issue and just the way I felt. I'm sure when symptoms kick in a little more I'll feel better. I think it's just easier for us for now if we just try to live as normally as possible and not really think about it until a little ways down the road. I'm not even going to actually call the doctor until 6 weeks. It's too hard to call and cancel those appointments.
I'm so glad you ladies are excited for me!! It helps me be a little more excited too!

 Congratulations!
I am sorry it is so hard for you to be excited, but I think everyone here can understand how you feel. Having a m/c seems to take the joy and innocence out of being pregnant. DH and I have already discussed how anxious we will be when we do become pregnant again. I hope you have a healthy 9 months and hopefully as you get further into your pregnancy, some of the anxiety will disappear.

Congrates on the good news about the cyst and the BFP!!!! I know the feeling about not being to overly excited. I was that way this time too but 3rd time was the charm for us and I hope with everything in me that its the same for you.

Congrats!!!!!! It's such an emotional rollercoaster, being pg after losses. The ups and downs, we want to be excited, but we just can't manage it, and then we feel bad that we can't. It's all normal, the only thing to do is just take it one day at a time. Come over to PAL, like the girls said; we're there to alleviate the stresses and fears for each other, and be there for the support we all need. The girls are great, and most of them you'll recognize from over here in TTCAL.
Again, Congrats!!!!!

 CONGRATS HUNNY!!! I pray that this is your healthy sticky bean. please continue to update us as everything goes on. I know how you feel about not wanting to let your guard down, i think slowly it will get easier. Youll never be completly unconcerned, but youll be able to enjoy the pregnancy in a little while.

Congratulations!!! I know it's a cliche but taking it one day at a time is the way to go. Easy for me to say though.
Congrats again. You'll be in my T's and P's.

Congratulations lady!! I agree with what a few of the others have said: one of the worst parts about a loss is that you can't just be blissfully happy when you're pregnant anymore. It's scary when you can't control a situation's outcome, and even more scary when you know you can't control it, and it can turn out badly.
But I'll be praying for you and your little bean. Loads of sticky  to you!!!
