How frustrating! Okay, try the antibiotics for a few days. Hopefully that would clear up any infections - UTI, vaginal or otherwise. If after a few days you still have a lot of pain, green vaginal discharge and/or other worrisome symptoms, demand more assistance. Demand a pelvic exam. No one should have to suffer!!GZ

OP - I think you have a great attitude, even while in the midst of experiencing GD. I know it's not easy. Good for you! [:)]GZ

Yes, I had a large hematoma diagnosed at 7 weeks, mostly resolved by 12 weeks, and completely resolved by 19 weeks.I did have red bleeding and cramping, but only with the big initial gush. So I am not sure what the new cramping you're having now may mean. To be safe, stay off your feet, and drink plenty of fluids. But try not to stress too much. Chances are high the baby is...

I don't find it weird or rude that women would attend a special event with their daughters.

I understand this. It is my gd. I have gd so when I see things like this it rocks me to the core and then come to the GD board to vent.

I don't find it weird or rude that women would attend a special event with their daughters. However, I do see how this particular social event could be construed as rude in terms of this person not including you, as her friend (nevermind that you don't have a daughter). Also, if she posted on FB and knows that you (and/or other non-invited friends) look there, that could also potentially be ...

How Christian is he to terminate a perfectly healthy baby because of gender? Not to be rude, but I am appalled that you are sounding so calm after he said such vile things to you and the baby.
I understand gender dissapointment-I have a sister in law that is suffering from it right now. I see how hard it is to cope with. But at the same ...

[quote user="toblvd"]I do pray that this is just a case of EGD and that he will come around. I do take in account he hasn't had the opportunity to bond with her yet. I plan to stick it out and give him an opportunity to be a father.
After she is here, and if he still doesn't appreciate or resents our little miracle, I will know what to do.
Let's just hope that his reaction is of the latter...[...

I know when others say stuff like this, it bothers some people... but personally, I am in the "live and let live" camp.To me, it's totally acceptable that someone would feel the way that woman expressed. That's her right! lol But it's also acceptable that others may not like her comment. I once heard a funny saying - "Opinions are like armpits - everybody's got one." l...

Your husband's response is negative and harsh, but I am guessing he is just experiencing an intense emotional reaction in response to his extreme GD (EGD).I had EGD myself, and I remember what it was like... I would say... for the sake of your marriage, and the chance for your daughter to have a healthy relationship with her father, stick it out. At least for while.Most of us with EGD get ov...

Your letter is very well-laid out and respectful.Here's what I would suggest next:- If there is anyone there who has been especially friendly/kind to you, ask them if there is anything they can do from the inside to speed a response along. Or just ask for their advice on how to best get in touch with <person(s) of your choice>.- If the above doesn't help/apply, fax your original letter...

ABC - I'm small too. I didn't gain any weight while on stims. But watch out, because after ER, your abdomen may puff up quite a bit! Mine did, and it lasted several weeks into the pregnancy. Of course, by then, I was showing for real anyways. So couldn't hide much for long. lol GZ

Haven't read the article, but I am thinking... if real, successful swaying could be accomplished by lay people, it would have been packaged up and sold to us years ago.
And/or, we'd be seeing much better swaying stats/anecdotes on IG.
So I'll still count myself in the non-believer camp. ;)

Yeah, I really had no side effects, either from BCP, Lupron, stims or the meds after ET.ER was a little painful, but that only lasts a few days.My own mental stress was by far the worst part!! lolHTH,GZ

I had bad GD with DS, after finding out at his 20 week ultrasound.After he was born, I then had PPD. And was still very mad/depressed about his gender. Not a great combo. lol I didn't start truly bonding with him until he was ~1 year.So I guess all told, it took me about 18 months to "get over" my GD (well, I guess over the worst of it... I didn't feel truly over my GD until now,...
