About Me
My name is Heather, I am 31 years old and I am married to Jayson. I work in accounting and my husband is a police officer. I have an 11 year old daughter and I am currently expecting another little girl on 3-1-09. We tried to conceive for several years but had male and female factor infertility. One month before starting IVF we conceived on our own, only to miscarry. Then the next month we discovered we were pregnant again. I am hoping and praying for a healthy baby.

Hi THANKS!!!! Little DJ is doing amazingly well for being so small. He is weighing 2lbs and 3 oz now, but weight loss is normal. He has a feeding tube, which he gets my breast milk :-) and they up his feedings thru out the day and he is up to 13cc atm. He also has IV's that provide nutrients that he needs. He has a tube in his nose that only provides room air - not oxygen to help keep his lungs full. He is Jaundice atm, but that is normal too. He is a little fighter and very feisty. Everyone in NICU is impressed with him. I am just very tired and hurt still badly....and hate the fact I can't drive yet....but I don't see that lasting that long :-)

Hug
I am sorry hun. That is horrible. Especially right now when times are not getting easier. I'm glad though that you'll be able to take some legal action against him though. Don't think twice about him, he didn't about you.
Hug
I'm not the sue type either, but this is for women period. Your boss is an asshole---it's totally unfair, and if it happened to his wife or mother, he'd fight it too... Maybe he'll think twice before doing it to another woman in the future, and you have served your purpose, by suing him. People like him disgust me---don't you dare feel bad! I'm fine---kinda getting excited that my due date is 2 weeks from Thursday! We are putting up the "nursery" in our condo (ugh, can't wait to get a house!) on Thursday night---maybe then it'll be more real. Until then, just trying to keep this little guy in there as long as possible!

Close Infertility
My husband and I have tried for several years to become pregnant. We did several cycles of clomid, one IUI with no success. My dh was diagnosed with extremely low sperm count. Then a miracle happened and on 5-14-08 we learned we were pregnant. Only to miscarry one week later on my birthday.
Treatments
- Artificial Insemination Not Working
- Sperm Count too low
- Basal Thermometer Working / Worked
- This worked, but made me obsessed. I had to stop.
- Clomid Somewhat Helpful
- Didn't get pregnant
- HSG (Hysterosalpingography) Working / Worked
- Tubes Clear
- Progesterone Cream Not Working
- Didn't keep me from miscarring.
Close Miscarriage
First miscarriage on my birthday. I was 5 weeks pregnant after years of trying and diagnosed with husband having extremely low sperm count.

Pregnant after m/c. Due 2-24-09
Open Male Infertility
My husband was diagnosed with severe low sperm count. The count ranged from 1 to 2 million with poor motility.
Treatments
- Clomid Somewhat Helpful
- This worked for my husband only for one a short time. His count jumped to 264 million but by the next week it was down to 1 million again. The side effects were HORRIBLE.
Open Parenting 'Tweens (9-12)
I have an 11 year old daughter, we found out earlier in the year that her real father had molested her. We are in the throws of court battles over it all and it seems that no one believes her except social services. She is having a tough time dealing with this.
