Wow, quite crowd, I really hoped to hear more from those ttc. Thanks so much Karla and rosepetal you words ring so true.
Please say a prayer for me...I am a little unnerved. I recently went to a new Physician to check out whyin the heck I am having so much joint pain. He ran some blood test and sent me to another facility to have an u/s of my throat. I just had my thyroid levels checked and everything was norm. But new Doc that my neck was a little "thick" around the thyroids.
Anyways, the results are in but the nurse and I keep missing eachother. Her last message at exactly 5pm stated "I prefer to speak to you vs leaving a message, call me in the morning" Okay- this has terrified the do-do out of me. Does this interpret to "I have bad news and you will need to come back in"? Sigh..I am just overwhelmed.
Thursday I have a heart procedure supposedly a simple procedure but scary none the less. Tomorrow I will spend all day at the hospital for work ups. And to top it off..I went to a chiropractor today for my back,knee,feet,neck etc. pains and found out by x-rays that I have phase 111 degeneration in my neck that is producing bone spurs. LOVELY.
On a good note...DH and I are doing much better on the communication factor.

Doctor..Doctor...give me the news
Well..... I just got off the phone with the heart Dr. and we have moved my checkup to January.
What I haven't mentioned is the long pain staking process I have been through after my regular physician/cardiologist (falsely)diagnosed me with Cardiomyopathy of Pregnancy and warned us to never have another child. This of course was 3 days after being released from the hospital with empty arms. Lovely huh? My husband and I immediately wanted a second opinion and thankfully my mother pulled her strings and got me into the Women's heart specialist for Duke the very next day. (Boy-talk about some serious anxiety the night between) Not only did my child not live , now I wasn't sure I would !
Needless to say Dr. K does not see the cardiomyopathy and doesn't feel the diagnosis or the advise to not have a child should have been made from just an echo. It is a very symptomatic disease - which I am showing none.
The only thing alarming about my heart is an occasional bout of tachycardia due to an addition node. Which I have had since childhood and have been assured can not be fatal. By the way-They feel this had nothing to do with Makenzie's death she was completely healthy. They chalk her loss up to a cord accident. They currently have me on a heart monitor for 30 days to see if this is happening enough to perform a minor surgery. I also am having problem with my blood pressure being high since leaving the hospital -which we are monitoring.
We have been told by the perinatologist that if we get the okay from the heart Dr. we can begin trying again in Jan.
Well...time for me to head outdoors and go for a jog. Gotta get that blood pressure back to norm.

The song playing during it was a song I had chosen for her in @my 3rd month, it was supposed to be he life song. Funny how that work out, huh?
