wave Just want to say "hi, everyone!" I'm in Denver right now, waiting for my connecting flight to Vancouver. wave

Why do I feel the need to catch up on SD? Can't do any Targeting for the next 2 weeks... Mad It's an uncontrollable addtiction...

Laina told me to bring my 50-lb coupon binders so we can cross the borders to go Targeting. Big Grin

We're all backpacking on this trip b/c of the new baggage cost and checked in 5 boxes of my stockpiles. woot

Yea I know I am just so worried becasue I used some of these coupons and they are tied to my debit card and also to the store cards. I am sooo hoping they hold up their end of the bargain and pay the stores for these I do not want to get into trouble because of these. So has anyone posted what the next week deals are at Target? I really want some good deals with GC to get baby stuff

each month that goes by i wonder if i farked myself up being on BC over 5 years, because obviously beforehand was VERY fertile to conceive ds. and because of that point, of me already having ds, i sometimes get the notion that maybe its not my fault at all - but some defect in dh (has no kids). everyone says not to think about it and it'll happen.. but it sure is hard NOT thinking about it. Sadwalk

Hey there - hug no need for Sadwalk yet... Normal BC doesn't really work in a way that can "fark you up" forever but it can take a little while for your body to re-adjust itself to it's "pristine" state when you DO want to have kids. My wife & I went through pretty much the same thing you are (BC for 5 + years, then trying to conceive for months) and the whole "not to think about it and it'll happen" thing was practically impossible for her to do (but it DOES increase the chances of success A LOT). Well, after many tearful discussions (also agravated by the horomone changes that come with detoxing from BC) we finally went to see the OB/GYN to talk about fertility treatments and were told that it can sometimes take 6 mo's or more after coming off BC before your body is even ready to contemplate being ready to conceive. This was NOT what DW wanted to hear, but it led to talking about backup plans (IVF, adoption) and this took some stress off the situation. Stress, even low level anxiety about conception can be a MAJOR catch 22 as it makes conception all that much harder. Mad Anyway, after we talked it all through (some with the help of a professional), she was able to relax enough about it that one day it finally happened. woot

Those are my words of encouragement, Nono1 no more self-introspection to diagnose "what's wrong" - nothing is wrong. Remember, life is a miracle and miracles happen on God's schedule, not ours... Now go have a glass of wine, enjoy life and R - E - L - A - X.Thumbup

Sorry, I didn't mean to come off rude towards you at all! I understand your worries but I think there has been enough attention that it can easily be proven to any store that any Fraud was on their end and not yours. I think in a situation like this the fault lays with the company. They had a duty to make sure they had safeguards in place, which they did not.

Ok, I'm gonna share this b/c maybe it will help make stormy and shop feel better.

There's a whole huge long back story that I don't have the energy to type, but I have a medical condition and if I'm not properly on meds I can't get pregnant. It took months for them to figure out the problem and then I was told who knows if/when I could get pregnant. Obviously I took this very hard as I was 23 years old and hey, we don' t know if you will be able to get pregnant. So like 6 months after I got on the meds I went to Chicago to visit fam and friends. I ended up getting sh*t faced drunk and had a total freak out. I ended up bawling in the middle of a dance club because all of my fears and frustrations and anger all came out in one drunken episode. At this point I had stopped taking the meds b/c what was the point they weren't helping (I had also gained about 40 pounds in 6 months due to the condition etc...) I talked to dh on the phone for like 2 hours (he had stayed back in stl) and he calmed me down, talked me into getting back on the meds etc....

So before I could get back on the meds I had to take a pg test b/c you can't be on meds while pg. So I took the test b/c I had to, imagine my surprise when 30 seconds later it came back positive! We took 5 freakin tests in 30 min to make sure. My first thought was oh sh*t I got wasted and I was pregnant, I hope the baby is ok! lol

So don't give up, life has it's little ways of surprising you when you feel like there is no hope left.

lol I have one right now (and 2 step sons) and we want at least one more. They have been trying to regulate my meds for the past 6 months, so I guess when they get that right we should be good to go. I'm having a positive day...some days I have days where I wonder why me? Why can I just be normal and not deal with this crap, but I can't change it, so I'm trying to just accept it. Even if I can never have another one I have to remember at least I got dd and as much as she drives me crazy I love her to death and some people aren't even able to have one, so I should be thankful for that.

*snip*
Same thing happened to me. I got pregnant the first time as soon as we started trying. Then 2 years later decided it was time for another. It took me 4 more years, but it did happen. I asked the doctor one day why it was so easy the first time, and his response was "did you ever think you got lucky the first time?" Meaning, maybe it was always hard for me to conceive. Hang in there, relax, and it will happen.

I don't know how I can be held responsible for using coupons that a company made available for me use. I think the company will be in trouble if anything.
