re: Official Testing Buddies Thread

Quoting Mama to Izzy and Olive:" Thank you ladies and this makes ne feel SO much better! I don't feel like I am so this reassured me more. The thought of being pregnant again scares me to death."

Aw! You're sure you don't want more ever? Are you guys going to do BC?

I suppose I have a bit of a "false" sense of security too, since it took so long to get pregnant with AJ. "</blockquote>




I'm not on BC either. I hate BC lol I don't like using it because it messes with my moods and my body. I get increased heart rate and ugh I hate it. Lol

You sound like we did with Keagan. He was such a handful...yet Declin is here. And Keagan is still a big handful hahaha.

I think we just love our kids so much that we look past those things. Like I haven't slept more than ha,f an hour at a time for the past four days. But yet I think of one more. I might be a little crazy but hey.

Plus I am sick of people saying four why would you even want four? Are you insane? No...lol just love our family.

Quoting Tyler and AJ's Mommy:" Aw! You're sure you don't want more ever? Are you guys going to do BC?"

Jason wants one more but I'm not sure. Our house fits our family of four and financially it would be harder with another child. I do miss being pregnant and would love to have more if we were richer and i wss younger. Of course if it hsppened i would be happy. I'm not on BC but we're using condoms. BC messes with my body so I haven't been on it in 8 years.

Hey ladies quick question. Have you had heartburn during ovulation? I only get it during pregnancy and I am not pregnant lol I just ended AF. But I have been ovulating right after AF so I'm wondering if that is what it is? I don't know lol but this hurts.

Yeah I haven't been on birth control in about 5 years. The pill gave me migraines. I was thinking about getting on something for now, but I'm just not sure I want it messing with me. I don't like the idea of IUDS either. Once we decide we're done DH will probably get snipped. I figure I've been through labor, delivery and c-section, he can have a simple outpatient procedure so we can enjoy at least a few years of worry free sex without condoms. LOL but that's awhile off anyway.

We do look past the hard stuff. Plus, infants are ALWAYS hard at least relatively speaking. They take up a ton of time and energy and unless you are super lucky and get one of those super laid back babies (They exist, right? I wouldn't know) it going to be stressful. But we also know that then they get to the fun age and we love them more than we could ever have imagined.

Well, no need to decide right away. You never know how you'll feel down the road. I know that we want both of the boys to be older before we try again. Tyler will be in school for sure. I'm not sure how old we want AJ to be but for sure I want him potty trained.

Not me...of course I've only had a tiny bit of heartburn a couple times while pregnant with AJ. I can't really imagine why ovulating would give you heartburn. Could it have been something you ate?

Yes the pill is not fun. I also don't want to go another route. So for now we just use condoms lol when we can find the time and energy.
My husband will be getting snipped. He already agreed and my OB said she wouldn't want me to have to have another major surgery. Unless I decide to let her do it during my c section which a lot of doctors won't do apparently because they want you to be sure. I dunno.

If we have another it will be sooner rather than later. I want to have all my kids before 30 and be done and we love them close. It's A LOT of work but fun.

I had it for two days and now it seems to be gone. I looked it up and apparently some woman do experience it around ovulation?!? I don't know I am going to ask my OB the next time I see her. I am going to be getting some opks and I guess I will see if it is in fact happening at ovulation time. Weird eh?

Yeah my OB actually said that if I had another she'd do a tubal during the c-section but IDK...I think I'd rather let things settle afterwards for awhile so I knew I was at peace with being done.

I thought I'd be done having kids by 30...might have been if my body had cooperated! Now the goal is be done by 35 I guess!

Very weird! I've never heard of that....
On a similar note though, does anyone else get bad gas pain/pressure during AF? I just feel like crap since yesterday and that's when I started. I'm so uncomfortable!

Jen: hope your foot feels better   That sounds awful and must be hard with the kiddos.
Miss you ladies !! No fun baby news here. This baby factory is closed for awhile. My periods have regulated a little though. not some crazy 60 day cycle now between 28-31 days. Not too bad. I am dating a wonderful, wonderful man. I am insanely happy lol it feels so good I can't explain. He has three kids so that's one reason why this baby factory is closed his youngest is 2 and oldest is 9 lol But who knows, I am just living life and enjoying it. Hope life is treating you all well <3

Thanks   I am sure you see my craziness on FB lol I'm home now and they have decided to put me on oral higher dose steroids for longer than last time and taper them off slowly from 100mg to 5mg. Still wont say for sure it's MS so yeah just kinda up in the air right now. But trying to have a positive attitude and go on with life.
