Welcome, . I am sure you will find everyone here to be very warm and

friendly.....I know I have.

Secondly, CONGRATULATIONS on your 28 pound loss, that is terrific!! I am sure

you can loose the rest with this list's support.

And thirdly, I know the stress you must be under with . Having worked in the

hang in there, what he needs is a wonderful family and it sound as though he has

one!!

Again, WELCOME and I hope you enjoy it here as much as I do.

a,

I am very sorry for your loss. It is a horrilbe thing to go through, especially

when you feel so alone. I know my friends and family treated the loss without

saying much, besides I am sorry, than they all seemed to have moved on. My ep

was in Dec.00 first I was treated with metho (had alot of pain and bleeding)

than while watching to see if my beta went down, I ended up with a rupture and

lost my baby and rt tube. Finding this group was such a blessing for me. I

would of went crazy without it. My dh (Don) tried to be supportive but had no

clue what I was going through and all the emotions that I was feeling and had no

control over any of them. It can be very hard on a relationship. I am glad you

found us and I hope you get the support you need and deserve here. These women

are wonderful and selfless. Take care. M

in MN with my

husband and son (3yrs old). We had been TTC since June

2001 , I was diagnosed with PCOS and was succesful on

the third cycle of Clomid and glucophage.

HCG levels were drawn right away ( and have been drawn

since I am so tired of that test!)and right away the

levels did not rise as quickly as they should ahve and

it was alomst three weeks before a diagnosis of an

ectopic pregnancy could be established. I started

spotting 4 days after I found oout I was preg, but Dr

could not say whether I would lose the baby or not.

Spotting continued for two weeks. Hcg levels kept

goign up but not doubling. Finally at the 7 week mark

when a sac should have been visible and my uterus

should have measured bigger, it was confirmed that

this was not a viable pregnancy, but it was assumed I

would miscarry since I was already spotting. When the

HCG level went up yet again I had a level 2 US (which

showed nothing nowhere!!) Then on OCt 12 I was called

in to have a shot of methatrexate to abort ( I really

hate that word) the pregnancy-where ever it may have

hidden itself.Unfortunaly my Dr did not give my any

pain meds and I ended up in the hospital that Monday.

I bled horribly for two weeks, and was in a lot of

pain. Emotionaly I feel like this was just a blip on

the radr screen for som many of my friends and family

and was treated was as little concern. DH and I had a

fight because I really needed a lot more help than I

was getting and I told him in no uncertain terms that

if he did not start taking care of me like I needed

him to I would go somewhere where I could.

I could just go on and on and on about feeling etc...

I may stop here to give eveybody here a break!!

I am so very sorry for all the tragic events that have

happened to you over the past few weeks!!

The fact that you have other children, or that you did

not plan this child in no way diminshes that pain and

grief you have every right to. It does not matter what

others think, or how they think you should act or

feel. If you had said that the stubbing of your big

toe was the most traumatic thingto happen to you than

you still would have deserved repsect for your

feelings.

Fact is- many will never understand, except other

women ( and truly empathatic men) that have gone thru

it. But family and friends don't have to understand,

only listen and be sypmpathetic, and try to give what

you need.

I hope you can find a little bit of what you need

here, and other places as well.

Thank you very much for your kind thoughts. I came

across this group by a search on the Internet - just

trying to get more information about ectopic pregnancy

and the surgery that I had, as well as possible after

effects. Since I felt I had little information from

the doctor, I looked at a lot of sites that had

anything that would offer an explanation. I was

touched by this site because it offered actual

emotional thought instead of just the long clinical

explanations. I was reluctant, at first, to join a

group. After reading other peoples stories and

responses, I feel at least like I am not alone.

I know how you feel about joining a group. I found

this site pretty much the same way- read all I could

about ectopic preg- and I feel like I could tell my Dr

a few things she would not know- but explaing and

telling your feelings is very healing. I felt

vulnerable at first with posting my stroy but feel

very safe now, hope you can feel the same way.

By the way, this surgery and recovery sounds awful.

The drs caught my ectopic early and so I had an

injection to end the pregnancy, which was pretty

painful in it self. I had a c section with my son and

imagine that it feels similar.

I am very sorry for your loss and that you had a need to find this group but I

hope it brings you all the hope and support that it has brought to me since I

joined. I truly believe it was this group that helped me understand that my

feelings were normal and ok and that is was this group and the wonderful ladies

here that gave me the courage to ttc again. Please take care. M

We go to national parks all the time -- and we get our little passport

stamped. We have stamps from all over -- a family tradition started when we

had

and went to Mt. Rushmore.

I have a copy of Ian's audiogram sitting right next to me since I'm doing

the SAT accommodations process paperwork chaos. And I hate to admit it, but my

first thought was -- Is Ian " deaf enough " to qualify for this? "

Have you actually gone through the process of getting one of these passes?

We have a couple National sites near us so it's no big deal to travel to one.

I'll call the place near us to ask questions, but I often find that the

people aren't always up-to-speed on these kinds of things. I just want to be

prepared when I walk in.

Thanks! This is great!

The Gold Access Passport is a lifetime entrance pass providing admission to

As 's fiance I can not speak for him, but only for myself and us as a couple. is 22 years old, and is just as full of testosterone and sexual desire as any other man, but for us I can say that we may not be able to have intercorse everyday, but instead as offten as we can be at this point we try to push more for if we can trying it, and if it is too painfull sometimes we either just spend some time cuddling, or doing something special as a couple or use another form of stimulation rather than intercorse. We both can be quite inventive. We are both young, and do prefur being active. I know sometimes I get quite frustrated or sad when I can not give him intercorse, but in that situation we usually just try to do something together that doesn't have to be exclusivly sexual but still gives us a special bonding time. I am lucky that I've got someone so willing to be paitient with me, and just pray that it continues.

Dear Everyone, I am a 23 year old woman who was diagnosed with vulvar vestibulus disorder my sophmore year in college (about 2 year ago). I had only recently started having sex and have since stopped because of not having a boyfriend for a few years. I feel that nothing will help and I will be alone forever. How do you go into a relationship and tell someone that you have this condition. I also do not have the resources to get treatment for the condition at this point in my life. I was proscribed lidocane ointment but found that it did not help at the time i was sexually active( for the brief period that I was). I wanted to indroduce myself to all of you. Hope I didn't ramble on too much. Please email me with any questions that you might have about me. Looking for friends and support, Sara in Arizona
