~*Newfoundland and Labrador Cysters*~/~*Spring 2008*~

MiracleMom · 03-25-2008, 10:08 AM

Hi there,

We are a group of cysters from Newfoundland who have found a bond with each other through being gals with PCOS and being from"The Rock".

A few of us have been around for ages and some of us have just started to get to know one another.

We are open and accepting of all fellow Newfoundlanders and Labradorians living in the Province or those who have,like so many others,found themselves in some other part of the country for employment and other opportunities.

So.....to our regular girls......Welcome to our new thread for the Spring of 2008.....and .....if you are a Newfie,are related to a Newfie or even just know a "good ole" Newfie.....pull up a seat and let's get to know each other!

MiracleMom · 03-25-2008, 10:13 AM

Hey!
I thought I'd start a fresh thread for the "Spring" since I know we are all sick to death of winter!!...LOL!
Let's ALL try to check in and keep in touch more often....even if it's just to say Hi!

Hi Ladies ! Just marking my spot!
Wish I could enjoy chocolate.. b4 baby I used to adore a "good feed" of chocolate.. but since baby, chocolate makes me nausa

Along w/ sweets. What a bummer! Bbay loves apples, oranges, grapes - pretty much everything healthy!

We 32 wks! Let the countdown begin... Everyone says I'm all belly and have not gained much weight anywhere else. Hopefully that's good.

Our friends are throwing us a baby shower this weekend @ my house.. looking forward to seeing everyone.

Next weekend, DH and I are getting our "proffesional" maturity (sp?) pics done.. looking forward to that!

Later..

Hi there JennC!!!...WELCOME to our Newfie thread!
Please feel free to tell us a little more about yourself and help us get to know you.
I am from the Eastern Avalon and I am a Mom to 2 little miracles...Kelsey turns 5 in July and Courtney turns 3 in June.....I was diagnosed with PCOS 2 years after I was married in 1990...My Hubby and I were trying for over 14 years when I became pregnant with my first after being introduced to Metformin...just 4 days short of 2 years later our second daughter was born...this time with no medicine at all....we feel very blessed to have our girls.
So sorry to hear about your miscarriages but keep tryin'!...You had success once so it can happen again!!....Be encouraged.
This is a great group of ladies and I'll let them introduce themselves to you as they check in.
Again...a very warm welcome!!

MiracleMom · 03-31-2008, 09:18 AM

Hey Janet....How did the shower go?
I'd love to see a pic of you with your baby belly!!

jennc · 03-31-2008, 12:19 PM

Hi
I am from the central nl area. I am 35 yrs old, I have a liite boy Christopher who will turn 2 on June 30. I was diagnosed with pcos oin 1996, the Dr, I saw at that time said "you have something called pcos, don't worry it's nothing to worry about" Yeah right!! Anyway, I ended up with really high BP, adn was told by another OB/GyN to adopt because I would never have a child on my own. So I had tried clomid a couple of times but it didn't work. I saw my gp and asked her could I get one more opinion from a OB/GYn, so i went to see another one, who put me on metformin in Sept 2005, I was pregnant in Oct 2005, and had a healthy pregnancy and a beautiful baby boy, who I am so thankful for. So we tried for #2 and I got pregnant in July 07, but lost it in August, I then got pregnant again in OCt 07, I thought I was doin really well, because i was so sick every morning, I was supposedly 11 weeks, but I was only 6.5 weeks, so I ended up having a D&C, 2 weeks before christmas. Anyway, this last mc really brought me down. My Dr has prescribed Progesterone supp. for me for the next time , he says I had one healthy pregnancy he doesn't see why I can't have another,but I don't know if I could handle another mc. So..that's my story.

MiracleMom · 03-31-2008, 09:10 PM

I agree with your Doctor in that if it happened once it can happen again...perhaps the Prog. will help along with the Metformin.
I was 36 when I gave birth to my 1st so time is still on your side.
I never had a miscarriage so I won't pretend to know how that feels but don't give up if you really want another child...you may never miscarry again.
Miracle's still happen...I have 2 of them!

jennc · 03-31-2008, 09:18 PM

Thanks for the encouragement. I feel like I am running out of time ,which I know is silly, but I guess I just want another child so badly. When I had Christopher, I had a c section, and the incision is still giving me problems, in fact the last mc I had, the incision was starting to open up again, so maybe that had something to do with the mc who knows? I also have a blood clooting problem-my blood clots to fast, so that may have played a part this time too. I am going to start taking a small dosage of aspirin when I start to try again. I am amazed at how many people have this condition,sometimes i feel like I am the only one in the world with this condition.

MiracleMom · 04-01-2008, 11:05 AM

Oh My!...I sure know how you feel when it comes to thinking you are alone in this!...I said before that I was diagnosed in 1990....I was 23 years old and just married and was scared to death that I'd never have the family that I felt was something I HAD to have.....I went on for years not understanding things and not having things explained to me by my Doctors{VERY frustrating looking back}....I was the ONLY person I knew that had this condition called PCOS and I had
