Name? Roben

Branch? Canadian Forces

Relationship? Proud Wife and member

How long TTC? Taking a break after the birth of our firstborn

Stationed at?? CFB Petawawa, Ontario but probably being posted out this year

Anything else you want to add? We've spent well over half our marriage apart from each other and the fact that we did conceive at all was a miracle. Trying again is going to take a divine influence act.

Love3- you sound a lot like me! I have 2 kiddos but this would be hubby's first. I have a lot of "friends" that say "at least you already have kids, it shouldn't be that hard for you to wait." They just don't understand. As much as we both love my kids, we desperately want to have our own, one that he wouldn't have to share custody and love with another man. Nobody seems to understand. I'm just so ready to give him a baby again, we were so excited the last 2 times I found out I was pregnant before I m/c'd

Oh and the one I love...."since you already have 3, if ya'll can't have any together it shouldn't be that disappointing."

He LOVES my babies but there is no changing the fact that they are not HIS. In his heart, they are his babies but they came from another man. And we, too, want a baby TOGETHER. I think being a step dad is about as trying as being a soldier.

I couldn't have said it better myself! I absolutely hate hearing people talk about it when they don't understand. DH is a great stepdad but like you said, it doesn't change the fact that he doesn't have his own child.

To everybody else, welcome! So glad to know we aren't alone in this!

to all of us!

YAY

Has anyone had ANY luck getting good help from tricare doctors? In okinawa it took FOREVER to get any attention, and we moved here in december so it took 2 months to get in for a fert appointment even though I've already started the process at my last duty station.

(I could go on for hours about our health care)

BellaBlu · Feb 22nd, 2010, 16:43 PM

Tricare is somethin' else, that's for sure..

I don't know about how it is there but here it's a crazy ordeal. We have a "clinic" available to us, but it doesn't even offer ultrasounds. Anything "major" has to be done on the economy which requires a patient liason to translate. And it takes foreeeeever to get in unless it's an emergency.

Fortunately I got in tomorrow for some stomach pains, we'll see how that goes*

Hope you're all doing well ladies.

wish2bmama · Feb 22nd, 2010, 19:45 PM

I had to go on the economy in Germany. But it took tricare months to get me an apt out there. Once I got it though, they were pretty helpful. My german docs.. not tricare. lol

Once we moved to our new duty station though, it was like we never had any tests and had to start from scratch.

Hope your apt goes well Bellablu!

How long TTC? I don't count the months. It took us 5 years to had DD so nope....not counting this time lol

Where are you stationed? We are at Fort Carson CO as well.

I just found out that I have another cyst so I'm stressing a little. It looks like a chocolate cyst AGAIN so they might want to cut me once more. Suckey!
