Hey Shariee it's too late i'm already pregnant. Found out yesterday i'm 3 months along.  =

You're totally blessed! Shariee (previous poster) doesn't have a clue, and will probably raise queer kids just because she is more concerned about your lives than she is about her own kids. I am helping a couple have a second child--their first is a 13 year old boy and he is one of the most well-adjusted (I am a therapist, BTW), adolescent kids in the neighborhood (who insists he's straight). I also know a number of queer families, and, yes, one of them has had terrible problems with their daughter, but the moms are substance abusers--no different from straight families, sad to say. Please accept love and support from this total stranger, keep it clean, and you go, girls!  =

Bigdaddy HAS a therapist, thank you, and love her to pieces. Try it, you'll like it! This is a SUPPORT forum, and your deviant obsession with homosexuality is not welcome here. Go rescue abused kids from straight couples like I had to in my job, for crissake. Leave us alone so we can expend our energy raising happy kids.  =

I was addressing the previous post to RK, and not to the splendid Kortney, just in case it was not completely apparent. RK needs her own forum, the "Do not come here for support" support forum. Don't worry, she'll come around when her kid comes out to her.  =

Congratulations!

I'm sorry you're having to deal with such horrible closed-minded people here. I am a heterol married woman, who's 10 weeks along, myself. I was raised by a lesbian couple and can say that I was harrassed far more for not buying "cool" clothes than I ever was for having two moms!

Rest assured that if you and your partner are loving parents and surround yourself with a loving, supportive community (unlike what we're seeing in this forum, unfortunately), you and your kid will be just fine. I'd check around to see if there are any local LGBT support organizations who might have family workshops or chat groups. If you're anywhere near a big city, or even a smaller city with a university, there should be a community ready to help.

And I'll repeat the advice that people have given me over and over: while you're pregnant, do what you can to surround yourself with supportive, positive-thinking folks who care about you and the baby and make you feel good about yourself. Now is not the time to stress over hurtful remarks from small-minded twits.  =

Hi Izzy thanks for the kind words. It's something i really need right now. It's been hard enought being pregnant for me. I mean i've been sick a lot and really tired. But I guess it's just the joys of being pregnant huh?  =

Hi Kortney,
I am a lesbian mommie as well, my partner and I are in our 6th wk of a new life. I am proud of you for posting this and would love to keep having a dialogue with you. Our baby is due June 2006 so it will be a long haul, when is your baby due?

Well keep your chin up and surround yourself with positive energy. Ignore the ignorant comments from the small minded people, just move to the next reply :-). This is a world where we have to embrace all kinds of people. Remember a baby is a blessing from your higher power.
take care.  =

hi there, my partner and i have 2 girls (she was married before). we have been together for 3 years. one daughter is 5 and the other is 6. people don't really understand why we are together they think the kids need to be with a mother and father. but the girls don't seem to mind. they see there dad every 2nd weekend. you just need some supportive friends and family.
next year my partner and i are fostering a baby. but it may be different for us as we have the support of family. we did try ivf treatment with a sperm donor but that didn't work out.  =

Name: Kortney • Date: 11/10/2005 11:35:27
Hi April thanks for the stories it made me laugh. I needed it today cause i'm not feeling to well. I've been pretty sick today throwing up and i have a bad case of diaherra. What makes it worse is my partner's out of town for another week so i have to try to take care of myself. Anyway i hope to hear from you soon honey.  =
Name: april • Date: 11/10/2005 11:49:46
im sry you arent feeling well but if it makes you feel any better im not feeling to gr8 their i have my 1st doctor visit at 230 so im worried i dont know next to nothing about having a baby so im like yes no i dont no that sorta thing i just cant get over snezzing a million times a day and my head aches they are horrible i swear and dont worry im alone also bc my fiance did some rather stupid things and is currently in jail so atleast yours is coming home soon be happy  =
Name: Kortney • Date: 11/10/2005 11:54:43
I'm sorry to hear your not feeling well either. I know your nervous about your dr's appt. but don't worry you'll get through it honey. Also i'm sorry to hear you've got to do this on your own.
How much longer is your fiance in jail?  =
Name: april • Date: 11/10/2005 12:27:19
honestly hes in there until he can make bond and im the only one who will do that for him but the thing is i would have 2 find some one else who would talk to the bonds man bc im not old enough in ga u have to be 25 to do anything like that so it really sux hes had a bond for 3 weeks i believe but ive got to call his attorney and see how much time he will spend if he doesnt make bond soo yea stress stress stress thats all it seems to be for me in the past month up to now hes been in there since oct 6th so we went from every day 24/7 contact to an hour and a half a week and through letters so its not easy 1 bit but i know i can do this its just hard sometimes he said all he wants to do is get out to go to work so he can support me and our child that he wants to be with me through me pregnancy and doesnt want me to go through labor alone with out him so thats helpful thinking that hes going to stay but i just wish he were out lol it would be so much easier!  =
Name: Kortney • Date: 11/10/2005 12:36:59
Oh sweetie that's tough, yeah i can read the stress in your writing. I hope he gets out soon and can help you out. I'm sure you could probably use a massage. I know i could. I'm really starting to put on weight and it seems my back hurts more and more everyday. But like i say this is just the joys of pregancy, right?  =
Name: april • Date: 11/10/2005 12:51:03
the main thing im nervous about the whole doctor thign is @ 11 2 day which idk where your from so about two hours ago i started bleeding kinda like i was starting my period but its not heavy its light thats another thing of why im scared to go to the doctor bc i cant lose this baby if josh my fiance has to be in jail a while i wanted to have some peice of him with me and ive never be pregnant before so i figured my parents would flip bricks but they are happy and with me and the strangest thing is my step-mom ummm well she said if josh is not going to do good that i can do it on my own and she would help me she already said i needed to move close to them bc she said she would baby sit for free so her grandchild wouldnt be going to some person where you really didnt know if it were being taken care of or not so thats a releif i could work and she would watch my baby she already watches my 4 month old nephew and so yea i really want my baby right now im just scared of what the doctor might say that and im affraid of neddles lol josh laughed at me and said he was sorry he couldnt be withme but i would have to soooo now i really am i only have liek 30 more mins before im leaving but i havent got any work done bc of this im so worried so yeah i think this one is really long lol sry ttus  =
Name: Kortney • Date: 11/10/2005 13:16:43
I understand why your so nervous. Just remember your not really alone. Please let me know how it went when you get back  =

Name: Kortney • Date: 11/14/2005 09:51:33
Hi April that's great news, yeah that definetly sounds like your gonna have a big baby. Take good care of yourself and that baby. I'm kinda sick today and my head won't stop pounding.
How are you doing today?  =
Name: april • Date: 11/14/2005 10:19:28
im fine but the more and more i read on threatened miscarriages it worries me i heard its heart beat lol it was really diff but super fast and loud so i think everything will be fime i will keep saying i just wanna go to the doctor to find out for sure but the flip side of things josh got a probation hold on sat so hes not gettin out his child will probably be around 8 months to a yr old before he ever gets to see him/her face to face w/o glass between them so that worrys me but ive picked 3 names boy and girl since i dont know what it is yet i love the girl names which are Zoe Lachelle bc my middle name is michelle lol or Zoe Emma and if its a boy i like Joshua Blaze but my step mom doesnt like blaze bc i named my dog blaze bc i loved the name and thought of my dog as my child but since im having a baby i would want its name to be blaze if its a boy but i really want a girl i think bc i love those names but ttus and btw do you know anyone or know anything about the doctor telling them they are having a threatened miscarriage??? but ya ill let you go and i hope you feel better soon i havent really been all that sick so idk what to think  =
Name: Kortney • Date: 11/14/2005 10:28:27
Wow those are some great names i really like Blaze for a middle name. That's good you haven't really gotten sick yet.
I have a girlfriend who was told she might have a miscarriage b/c heart rate was so low. But she carried full term and now has a beautiful little boy. I'm sorry Josh won't see your child face to face for awhile but i'm here for you sweetie so stay strong honey.  =
Name: april • Date: 11/14/2005 10:42:22
ty yes josh really knows now that he messed up so yea and what you said about your friend helps gr8ly the doctor said that me and the baby were perfectly healthy though and the baby heart beat was really strong he was shocked lol bc im not that far and it wasnt hard at all to get the heart beat but i guess i am going to be a mom i have the worries already lol i just want it to be healthy wether its a boy or girl so yea i got pictures to and i showed them to my coworker lol she was like wow you can tell its a baby and not a dot lol but yes i also agree that i think it will be a rather big/long baby so lol by the time its about 8 it should be taller than me lol aint that crazy i think its funny but bye  =
Name: Kortney • Date: 11/14/2005 10:49:37

My partner Michele and I have been together for over 10 years. I just had my first IUI Nov. 1st and 2nd. I was suposed to start my period yesterdy, and so far Aunt Flo has not visited. If I do not start , I will have a blood pregnancy test done on friday.
Most of our friends have kids ( they are straight) and my twin sister just has twins a year ago after trying for 3 years. I am 35, so we couldnt wait any longer. We checked into adoption, but never really felt comfortable with any of the social workers. Good luck to you and your partner.  =
Name: Kortney • Date: 11/16/2005 13:53:00
Rene glad to hear you and your partner have been together for so long please let me know the results of your test.  =
Name: Rene' • Date: 11/16/2005 14:57:38
Thanks Kortney..I will be sure to let you know. I am glad I found this web sight. My girlfriend and I work together, and we are both 35. I could use all the baby dust I can get. Iw ill let you know.  =
Name: Kortney • Date: 11/16/2005 15:01:19
Hi Rene glad you found this board. Sometimes we need all the support we can get right?  =

april are ya feeling better now?  =
Name: Rene' • Date: 11/16/2005 15:21:25
Kortney, how did youget pregnant? IUI? Naturally with a guy? Just wondering. Thanks  =
Name: Kortney • Date: 11/16/2005 15:38:35
Hey Rene i got pregnant from a good friend of ours. We talked about having a baby for awhile, and we planned it out when i would most likely get pregnant and i did. On a different note i miss my gf so much it feels like forever since i've seen her beautiful body.  =
Name: Rene' • Date: 11/16/2005 16:02:57
Kortney:
That woul suck not seeing your gf like that, I can not imagine. After bring together for 10 years, I still miss her on Monday Nights when she goes bowling.....ha ha ha
Congrats. I am glad it all worked out for you both. We are praying this works for us. We have been professional "Aunts", and now we just want a child of our own. How old are you and your girlfriend? Just wondering. Do you know if it is a boy or girl yet?  =
Name: Kortney • Date: 11/16/2005 16:08:21
Well im 29 and she's 31 and we are having a girl. I hope this works for you guys too. We have been "AUNTS" for a long awhile as well. What are you guys hoping for a boy or a girl?  =
Name: Rene' • Date: 11/16/2005 16:22:26
Kortney:
If we could choose the sex, it would be a boy, but as long as the baby is healthy ( I am 35, so the risks get higher), we dont really care if it is a boy or a girl. Do you have a name allready? That is so cool. We used a sperm bank, so we know A LOT about the father , but we never met him. He is Italian , like my wife, so hopefully it will have the dark thick curly hair, olive skin, and brown eyes like her.... :) For a boy, our name is "Lukas James" or "Preston James" and for a girl it is "Samantha Leigh" or "Olivia Grace" or "Izabella Grace"...not sure yet. COngrats again. I hope I am pregnant. I wont know until Friday ( and if I do not start my period). ....please keep us in your thoughts. Thanks!!  =
Name: Kortney • Date: 11/16/2005 16:30:22
I will definetly keep you in my good thoughts. I love those names you guys picked out. We really like the name Autumn and Morgan what do you think. I do miss my wife and can't wait to see her again.  =
Name: Rene' • Date: 11/16/2005 16:33:27
Kortney:
Our neighbors' litt;e gir; ( she is 5), her name is Morgan. She is so cute with her long hair and thick glasses. She helps me wash the mustang all the time, everyone in the neighborhood calls her " my mini me" , cause she calls me if I am late coming home from work, and she is always hangin out at our house. Needless to say, I like that name. :)  =
Name: Kortney • Date: 11/16/2005 16:40:18
Yeah i like Morgan more than Autumn and of course my wife likes it the other way around. So that is somethng we have discussed at length and will continue to do so until the baby comes.  =

Don't get to stressed honey. How long since Aunt Flo visited?  =
Name: Rene' • Date: 11/17/2005 15:44:43

Aunt Flo was suposed to be here Nov. 15th, but so far she aint in town!!!! :) I get a blood test tomarrow morning.  =

Kortney:

Hi we have decided that our daughter will call us mommy and mama.  =
Name: Rene' • Date: 11/17/2005 16:15:14
Kortney:
That is what we were leaning towards to. Allthough My wife says to just let the child figure it our on his/her own.
I just pray we are pregnant, and then, we can take things one step at a time. I am glad you got a chance to talk to your wife last night. It must be hard, her being away. Where is she? Out os state? We are in Missouri. My brother is gay and lives in California. He loves it out there. I was there only once, but I would definetly go back, it was great. Are you near Venice Beach ro Lancaster?  =
Name: Kortney • Date: 11/17/2005 16:35:10
no we live in san diego, my wife is currently in south carolina right now. I do kinda like the idea of her calling us what she wants. I'm praying for you guys that you are pregnant. On a different note my back and boobs are killing me.  =

Hey Kortney,
good to see you are getting support from this site. My partner and I are pregnant and the baby is due in late june 06. We just had our first sonogram and it was totaly overwhelming for me, I just laid there looking at the screen and feeling numb. My partner on the other hand was elated. Well I hope u guys had good news by now, keep us posted. Oh we live in Long Beach, CA. what about you guys?
take care.  =

AF came today! :(  =
Name: Rene' • Date: 11/18/2005 09:17:48
My partner and I cried, held each other, and are completely bummed. The hard part was calling and telling my Mom it didnt work this month. I am still numb with the whole experience.

We will do our 2nd IUI this month, so maybe by Christmas.  =
Name: Kortney • Date: 11/18/2005 09:51:14
Oh Rene i'm so sorry sweetie. Just keep your head up and like you said try again later this month. Hi beebopmama we live in san diego which is not to far from you. Oh and Rene don't forget i'm here for ya honey.  =
Name: Rene' • Date: 11/18/2005 11:49:37
Thanks Kortney!  =
Name: Kortney • Date: 11/18/2005 11:58:15
I'm here for you sweetie. How are you feeling? I've been praying for you.  =
Name: Kortney • Date: 11/18/2005 12:49:06
hi Rene i'm so sick all of a sudden i don't know why?
I tried calling my wife and she's not there. i need to talk to someone are you there?  =
Name: Rene' • Date: 11/18/2005 12:50:23
Still sad , I really thought it was going to happen for us this time. ( Even though this was the first incemination we did). I have an ultrasound apt. on Monday, and will start the clomed meds and go through the process again. The hard part is just knowing it didnt happen , and we need to start the emotional rollercoaster again. Thanks for the prayers, I need them! Thank you!!  =
Name: Rene' • Date: 11/18/2005 12:51:31
I wish I was sick because I was prego!! I know it sucks, but your shoes look brighter than mine ( at least right now, since I am so bummed). Sorry you dont feel good.!  =
Name: Kortney • Date: 11/18/2005 12:55:49
oh Rene i'm sorry your so sad honey. My stomach is hurting so bad i keep having to run to the bathroom. I'll pray that the next time you go through the process it will work for you guys. What kind of meds do you have to start taking?  =
Name: Rene' • Date: 11/18/2005 13:02:05
Kortney: I will be taking Clomed for 5 days, Metformin, and the day before incemination a HCG shot in the hip. They are all meds to help with ovulation ( even though I have no problems with ovulating)...Then a few days after incemination, I give blood to make sure my progesterone levels are high enough ( which is the thickness of the uterus lining to make the egg attach).

I know it sounds like alot, but the hardest part of it all is the 2 weeks of waiting.  =
Name: Kortney • Date: 11/18/2005 13:04:32
That does sound like a lot. But the waiting would definetly be the hardest part. I also don' t like needles i don't know what i'm gonna do when i go into labor.  =
Name: Rene' • Date: 11/18/2005 13:11:29
Funny you mention the needles thing...I had to get hypnotized in order to have my blood drawn..... :) I know...but truely , it helped. I still do not like, and I dont watch while they do it, but I can it, which is a small miricle in itself. :) You will do fine during labor...you're lucky!!!  =
Name: Kortney • Date: 11/18/2005 13:20:45
Wow hypnotized huh? i'm gonna go for a natural birth at first we've gone to lamaze classes and i'm going to try to avoid and epidural but I don't know if i'll make it. My next lamaze class is tonight and i have to go alone. I so miss my wife.  =
Name: Kortney • Date: 11/18/2005 13:39:37
hey Rene are you still here? i'm lonely and need someone to talk too. I tried calling my wife again and she was unavailable.  =
Name: beebopmama • Date: 11/20/2005 23:47:01
so sorry to hear Rene, but let me tell you it is a long process, we tried for a couple of years, missing a few months here and there. It is quite a process but stay positive.
peace out!  =
