      I am going to assume you had the twins based on Ann's comment. If you did congrats and I pray they are doing well. If you haven't had them yet good luck with delivery.

      Hi, sweetie! I just read your last journal post. Try not to worry too much. I know it's hard being on bedrest. But, look at it this way, you are doing what you need to to protect your little ones. That is the most important thing in the world. Not to mention, once they are here, you aren't going to have much time in that bed. So, try to make the best of it. Love and kisses.

    • Close Infertility

      I was having ovulatory issues which seem to be resolved with metformin. My lining is a little on the thin side but otherwise no problems. DH had been diagnosed with low sperm count (5-14 Mill) but after he was treated for a Thyroid issue his SC is normal. So we basically have unexplained infertility now.

      My mom was just diagnosed with multiple myeloma. She is 57 years old and a lot of life yet to live. We are still unsure but we believe she is just coming out of the smoldering stage and entering stage 1.
