Sister, I've read Juz 1 & 2 and am reading 3 too, so please allocate that for me also, JazakAllah. And JazakAllah for starting this activity, it feels real good to be reading Quran like this. You continue to feature as one of the most important people I remember in my dua... and really sister, your day is not far inshAllah.
Gracedmind:
I'm sorry I don't have any experience with NPC, Rusalka should be able to help you. And good to see you back here.
Wantababy:
I was just like you, thinking through every twitch that it's ectopic... every time I went to the loo, I thought I'd wipe and see fresh blood. Fears are normal... and sometimes it's hard to fully be happy because of these fears... but just think about this... you're PREGNANT. How many HOURS did you spend of your life thinking you'd never see a BFP... and then you see it, Alhamdulillah. Live in that joy... pray and know we're all doing the same.
Sarahsmom:
Good to read the updates here and on the website. Anything on Reem? I realize you'll get even busier in a while but it's for the good inshAllah. So this must be Sarah's first international trip. Ooolala.
Simone:
Hurray for the AF! It's really sad to hear about what your stepmother is doing ... while your story is also sad, I feel more for your sister. It's so hard when you're under financial strain and then you're told you're not welcome... and you have kids... and a husband who's struggling to make ends meet. I know if your sister leaves you'll really be lonely, since you have so much fun with her and her kids. And I KNOW how one feels for the sister's babies. But inshAllah there's a plan for everyone's betterment in everything. I was wondering, can't you have a heart to heart with your dad on this? I mean, after all, he insisted you AND your sister to move in with him in the first place.
Zainab D:
It's a matter of time, inshAllah... in HIS TIME. God only knows how many BFNs I've seen ... and then I started thinking may be there's no such thing as two-lines, it's just make believe stuff. And then, one morning, my life changed. So will yours inshAllah, for the better.
---
I'm still where I was. Vomiting, nauseated... but Alhamdulillah, not starving thanks to this TPN. It's uncomfortable to live with this big bag and a pump and a tube in the arm... but I have nothing to complain about... this stuff costs a thousand-dollars-a-day and it keeps me and the baby alive and while i miss food, I dont feel like I'm starving.
Alhamdulillah my doctor is good. I spent the last few days reading a book about hyperemesis and it was full of real anecdotes sent by women. And you know what, some of the women had suffered through infertility, gone through with IVF... and had been forced to ABORT the babies because their doctors didn't work with them properly. Allah SWT knows I came to a point several times when I told DH I couldn't do it. I didn't really mean anything by that, but I did say it... Astaghfirullah. And women wrote, the minute they said something like this, their doctors sent them to abortion clinics... and really, you have to have hyperemesis to know how DESPERATE one feels to get out of that cycle of vomiting... FORTY PERCENT of the women in the book aborted and felt better the next minute... and were emotionally scarred forever.
But Alhamdulillah, my doctor NEVER gave me the feeling that I was overdoing it or that I can "snap out of it" ... never accused me of an eating disorder or that my husband (who can't kill a fly) abuses me etc etc. And she started me on the TPN in week 12... many doctors in the book waited till week 17 or more - and eventually lost the starved baby. After reading the book, I just feel so blessed and grateful to Allah SWT and the doctor. She's not the chatty sort but I thanked her today... I like her.
So... that's my rant for the day JazakAllah for reading.

Zainab, mashallah for your strength darling. I don't know when I am going to stop crying each time I get AF .
Gracedmind, I had done some research on NPC, but couldn't find a brand that claims to be 100% natural here in Istanbul, so I decided not to use it for now. I can't remember anything about the dosage and how to use it. I still think it's way better than using provera and BCPs. I also think that it's important to shed the lining every month and avoid any build up in our uteri, it worsens the symptoms of PCOS I suppose. Good luck with it and let us know of how you're doing.
Sarahsmom, inshallah you're doing well. Please kiss Sarah for me.
Nomadic, being tested with hunger is really a hard test I think and you'll pass it inshaAllah! Adding up the stress and worries you have about your baby, distress of vomiting... I can't imagine how strong you must be to handle all that! MashaAllah! MashaAllah! Your words about me having an important part in your prayers touched my heart. Thank you, jazak Allah khayran.
As for myself, we'll be going on a trip to a city 300 kms from here towards the east to see my brother and attend a wedding there. Yes, with Mr.Rusalka . My bro is working as a doctor (GP) there, I haven't seen him in a while, so I am excited. It's kind of a rural town so there will be good food, organic, fresh which I absolutely love. On the phone today I was asking my brother if he needed anything from here, and he goes "here the oldest egg I consume is one-day-old, what would I ask from you? Your brand-stamped eggs bumped with omega3-selenium?" I found it funny, wanted to share with you guys, Gosh, I am so talkative . Gotta go to bed now, quite late here. Kisses and hugs to all of ya!
nomadic- i havebeen makingdua for you--you have a lot of patience and strength , may allah swt give you a healthy baby inshallah and make you better soon.
rusalka- have fun on your little trip and make sure you relax! don't get so worried, inshallah allah swt will bless you soon--just keep making tons of dua and i will for you as well
zaninab- i am sorry AF came..i know the feeling and keep hanging in there sister i know it's hard- i know you will be blessed very soon inshallah
As for me, the results of my beta are :
6/17/09- 521 p4:28.1
6/19/09-1316 p4: 32.7
I hope these numbers are ok?? I went yesterday and am going monday again for a beta to see if it's still doubling..i am just so worried about a miscarriage or ectopic..plz make lots of dua for me sisters i am worried
Saalam All,
Thanks for giving me all the info you all knew about NPC. I don't want to use provera or BCP's. I just like the whole natural way better. I did some lab work a couple months back, my total testerone level was 188! SubhanAllah! I am surprised I am not growing a beard or chest hair, lol (laughing about these things makes it better...). Alhamdulillah, I have never suffered from hirsutisum. My only symptoms continue to be irregular menses and weight. I'm sure you guys know but the highest level a woman should have is about 70 or so. Some of us with PCOS probably have the same range as our husbands, I knew a sister who's level was 220. On another related note, there has to be a correlation between high testerone levels and ones sex drive. I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable or anything, but medically speaking do you guys think that is true? I just think the more testerone you have the higher your sex drive must be.
Nomadic- May Allah reward you because I am sure it is a different predicment to be in. I have taken care of women with HG and it seems very hard. I hope it gets easier for you and its great you have an understanding MD.
Rusalka- I think I told you this a while back but my stepdad is from Urfa. I havent been but I have heard the countryside is very, very beautiful MashAllah!
Wantababy- I am making duaa for you, inshAllah this works out. I am very excited for you.
Zainab- I will keep you in my duaas inshAllah.

congrats WANTABABY...May Allah swt make it a smooth and easy pregnancy for you he and bless you with a happy healthy baby...Inshallah....
SARAHSMOM:...Nice to know that you guys are doing well *hugz*
SIMONE:..Jaazakallah for asking...I am indeed having a great time with my family...
NOMADIC...read your updates...*hugz*...when is your mom coming dear..??
Hope all of the other sisters are doing great too....Inshallah...
A quick update on me:....I am having a nice time with my mom and sisters.One of them moved last week to another state as her work was starting...the youngest sis is still her...Thhe DH was also home for a 2 week vacation...so all was good Alhumdullillah...
Great news...my father is also coming...Inshallah next week...
This way I will get to see my entire family after 2 years....Inshallah...
On the TTC front...we had the IVF consult this Monday...I knew what we were going to talk about....but still I came home kinda sad...I dont really know why...
maybe because I know that this is the last thing we can try...when we were doing the IUI we always knew that if did not work we have the option of IVF...but now what if even this doesnt work...
I am scared...i know there is nothing one can do except pray and hope for the best and know that it will happen when ever the time is right Inshallah...
but this is just how I felt that day....
It felt kinda overwhelming...with loads of consent forms and pre requisites etc etc....
I still have the anesthesia consult next week nad the DH has another SA next week too...
Inshallah all shall be well...
chips- i am going to tell you something...don't worry, allah (swt) has his ways and you just need to rely on him, i would think the exact same thing..but the truth is many people fail ivf's and get pregnant anyway and many people get pregnant onthe first try..
also, look at me, we went and confirmed we were having ivf, i was going to sign the papers and send them out on wed night with the payment, and wed morning out of nowhere i had the urge to take a pregnancy test even though in my heart i was like it's not possible and what did you know? 2 lines for the first time ever when i least expected it...allah swt has his ways my dear
my advice to you is make a lot of dua , wake up for tahajjud, do a lot of astaghfar, i feel like the whole process bought my closer to allah swt and at the last point i was like allah swt i am leaving this up to you, i am tired i don't know what to do i am putting it all onyou, and guess what? no meds not timing nothing, got my BFP..inshallah it will stick but even if not i am glad allah swt showed me that I CAN get pregnant, i will make constant dua for you my sister
Hi Everyone. I'm sorry as I don't have time for personals right now. Sarah did a lovely number on my laptop charger and its not really working. Luckily there is a computer in the hotel...but only one and there always seems to be a line to use it. Tomorrow we will go for the first part of the procedure. Sarah has restrictions on her diet tomorrow as well as no food. On Wednesday, it'll be harder as they have her in the hospital for at least 5 hours and she has to stay laying down for the next few days (only to get up to eat). Try telling that to a three year old. anyways I'm glad to hear the good news from wantababy. Inshallah pregnancy tickers will pop up for everyone this board soon enough. I'm sorry all about the lack of posting on my part.

Please let me know of the sites we NEED to go see apart from the usual!!! If you are around then maybe we can meet for a coffee or something too! that would be nice!
Wantababy - inshallah everything is fine and in 9 months you will have a healty llittle baby in your hands..its natural to get paranoid just dont let that consume the feelings of excitement!! I am so new to this ttc journey I dont know what a good beta is but inshallah that is it!!
