Dottie has gone public

This is a test of the Emergency Broadcast System. The broadcasters of your area in voluntary cooperation with the FCC and federal, state and local authorities have developed this system to keep you informed in the event of an emergency. If this had been an actual emergency, the Attention Signal you just heard would have been followed by official information, news or instructions.

im kidding of course, there is no asteroid about to hit the earth.

but I do have an announcement of the same weight of importance:
I found out 2 days ago im going to be a dad. Which is exciting after 3 years of unsuccessful trying.

Ok you can ignore the subtitle, i was just being dramatic. I love my wife, and am extremely happy.

my parents knew for like 18 seconds, and then the whole population of fayette county knew. (how many cellphones can 1 person talk on at the same time? 6.)
so...they're slightly excited to recieve news of their second grandchild will be born next april.

yay us.

As your online AT physician, I feel it my duty to inform you that your posting symptoms point to an hysterical pregnancy.

You need to find yourself a girl, mate! Or, perhaps the reason you post here three hours a day is that you already found one and are otherwise incapable of wooing said strumpet. You're not a eunuch, are you?

Be forewarned - after the first one because of the way hormones get fucked up, be very, VERY careful afterwards unless you want several more in rapidfire succession.

My wife has PCOS as well, and it took us about 3 years and surgery to remove some rather large cysts before my first was born. Then 2 more over the course of the next 3 years. Then finally another 6 years later.

Also, with PCOS your wife needs to be rather careful about postpartum. Because of the PCOS issues, postpartum can easily be amplified.

You're more than welcome to PM me if you want to chat about it. Otherwise, gratz!

Please don't indoctrinate him/her with your twisted view of reality. kthx.

 

[lokiju]

Congrats!

I had my first (a boy!) on Fathers Day and holy shit has it been a whirlwind of craziness ever since!

It'd damn rewarding and very very very tiring but every week that goes by it gets better!

Go out to eat and see as many movies as you can NOW! You won't be doing any of that kind of stuff for a good while once he/she is born!

right now she has only had to take the insulin correction medication (no surgery)...so im not sure how severe her problem is. it seems to be potentially a genetic disease though though, her cousin also has it.

im not sure what you mean about the irregular hormones...is it better to have 2 in succession, or 1 wait, then another? or will PCOS cause you to have more pregnancies?
