A little background info....

I have been dealing with medical issues regarding my reproduction capability for the last three and a half years after a very bad miscarriage situation. As I was working through a difficult period one day I realized that more and more people and characters around me seem to be dealing with similar circumstances. TV shows, movies, neighbors and friends are struggling because they cannot or may not have children. This is a place to express my feelings about my situation and hopefully help someone else express theirs.

I may not know what other mothers know, but I am a mother without my child and I do what I can to cope.

Free at last, free at last!!!!!

Its about damn time!!

Soooooo, I am officially off of restrictions.  Woo!  My doc has restricted that though.

I can start to exercise slowly I can start at 10 mins this week and add an additional 10 mins every week until I am at a work out that I am comfortable at.  I can start with things like walking, sit ups and push ups.  I am not supposed to do things like an elliptical machine or jogging (I don't jog anyways) until I get to 40 mins.  I can exercise up to 5 times a week until I hit an hour, then it goes to 3 times a week.  I have a current weight lifting restriction of 20 lbs, I can add 5 lbs to that every week also.  I am supposed to only push myself until it is uncomfortable and rush to the Dr's office if I ever feel cramp like pain or some other awful side effects.

The funniest part?  I am supposed to 'stretch my uterus.'  I am going into the office next week to figure out what the hell that means.  Most likely it includes an odd contraption, new pill or requires 800000 visits to see the doc.  So excited and complicated.  I think I'll celebrate, but how?
