November 6, 2000

C#3. CD#25 11DPO

Well girls, I can't believe it's November already. I can't believe how fast this year has flown by. I also can't believe that in three months I will have been TTC for one year. While being PG one time in that year it doesn't seem like it has been one year but that's a long time. I never thought I'd be one of those people who took a long time to get PG or one of those people who had a miscarriage. I just never thought that of me. I always thought it would be a quick TTC experience and I'd get PG quickly and have my little one here with me. Well, that's not true for sure.

Well, I should get AF this week or weekend and know if I'm gonna be a part of the July baby club or not. I am still trying to be ++ but being 11 DPO I still have no PG symptoms so my hopes are starting to get thin. I know I shouldn't start to get negative this early but all of you know how it is to try to stay positive through this long ordeal.

Well, I had a good time shopping this past weekend. Got about six Christmas presents down. So that's good. Got two cool bracelets for myself. My mom bought me one and I bought the other one. They are like those bracelets to give hope or power. I bought a pink one that says hope and my mom bought me a blue one that says dream. Isn't that strange? I bought a pink one for hope and she bought me a blue one for dreams. I told DH isn't that such a coincidence that we are trying to get PG and I got a pink and blue bracelet for my hopes and dreams. So I'm gonna try to wear them often. Anyway, I did have a good time, except for my knees and feet hurting.

I went to see my doctor on Friday for my arthritis and I have been referred to a rheumatologist. I have to drive an hour and a half to see him. Well, my doctor said that I'd have to have the blood work done again that I done last fall when they diagnosed me with psoriatic arthritis. So I'm gonna have that done and then go see this rheumatologist. I'm hoping he can give me some good news. I don't wanna take the pills prescribed for me 'cause when I had my miscarriage the cycle that I got PG I took them. I still think it may have had something to do with it. Even though the doctors don't seem to think so. I've been depressed today thinking about it all. Having so much pain already and I'm only 25. It really sucks and is depressing thinking that it may cripple me in my young years. It's not a kind that causes a lot of crippling but it always can. Just depends on the severity and all that. I'm hoping they miraculously find a cure for it and soon. I'm tired of having it.

Well anyway, enough of the depressing talk. I'll find out more after my appointment with the rheumatologist. I go on the 15th. This Thursday DH has to have two of his teeth cut out. So we'll both have the day off for that. Wednesday night I'll probably make some banana pudding for him and some other things. I'm sure he'll be fine. He's had so much work done to his mouth and teeth. Also, I haven't said anything before but always knew this: When I do get PG again and I decide to wait until my first ultrasound to tell family, I won't be able to write it here. I will let all of you know in another way. I have some people who read this that can't know for a while. So you will find out a different way. Just thought I'd let you know. Maybe on our new discussion board! LOL.

I guess I don't have much else to say. I hope everyone has a good week.

BFPs to you all.

Love, Jenn
