I got the results from the blood work and I am not pregnant. I was really upset!
The Dr. (detox) Said I am doing VERY well if fact he said that if I keep up the good work, I can be off all meds by mid December. ISN' T THAT WONDERFULL. When my husband and I found out that we weren't pregnant we both were sad. Then surprised me !! He sat me down and said stop taking your birth control pills (it takes about 3 months for those to where off)
Then he said you will be clean by mid December, the birth controls pills should be out of your system in March. If you are ready, healthy, sober, and happy, then I think we should try to have baby, and start in mid March
I AM SO HAPPY ~ I THINK I GOING TO DO A BACK FLIP !!

Hi Marina
I am really glad you are doing so well in your recovery and I also love your contributions to the board. However taking a discission to plan for a child so early in your recovery could be a mistake. I have always been told to not make any big life changing discissions until you have been clean at least a year. Am I right in thinking you are on the Sub?....That means you still have to detox from that which can be problematic and coming of it during december is quite quick. I did it fast and once below 2mg had a rough time of it. I hope you can forgive me if I have brought you down saying this but it is meant out of love. You need to consentrate on recovery and yes planning a child would be a good long term goal to look forward to. I havent been following the posts much last few days so if I have said something that has already been covered i apologise.
I am really glad to have cyber met you
peace

I respect your opinion. But I wouldn't even try to get pregnant until March. Just because my husband and start trying to get pregnant in March doesn't mean it will happen right away. We really want another baby, and when we do pregnant it will be a blessing.
When I got pregnant with my daughter I did everything by the book. I didn't take and pills not even a Tylenol, I stopped drinking caffeine, and quit smoking for a year and a half. That was the most healthy I have ever been. I think when we do art to try and get pregnant it will Gods blessing, and I have already told god that when I am do with detox I will be as healthy as I can be. I want to be a better wife, mother, and person.
* Thank you so much for your post, I totally see what you mean and where you are coming from

Hi Marina,
I just saw your post and I am not really sure what to say. I am sure that you have some mixed feelings about not being pregnant but I think it is for the best. This gives you time to concentrate on getting yourself well. I see that you are well on your way in that department. Keep up the good work. Just think by Christmas you hopefully will be giving yourself and your family the best present ever........YOU DRUG FREE!
Take Care.......

Thanks for responding the way you did, I was afraid that I may upset you and even thought about deleting the post. I am convinced by the way you write that you are very determined and are a very nice person, as far as wanting to be a better wife and mother I think you probably are just fine now. I am so pleased to hear that you are involving God in your plans... another sign that you are getting further along in your recovery journey
Best wishes for the future

Marina i am sooo happy for you.. i mean that the sub is working so well for you! And looking forward to another baby is a real incentive to keep it up..I hope i don't have to go the sub route but at least it is an alternative and i am glad to hear about it.. keep us posted.. that was some shake up with you thinking you were pregnant and all
Congatulations Marina glad everythings going well for you. How much sub are you on? what dose did you find worked for you? My doc had me on 16mg and I was sick as a dog and couldnt keep my eyes open. He said we'll cut that in half, to 8 mg tomorrow. I should be off by Dec also.
Good luck

Hi Marina,
I've been reading your posts. I'm sorry that you are upset about not being pregnant. I know you must have mixed emotions right now, just remember that God has a way of working everything out. I'm so happy your detox is going well for you. Maybe then you can start the new year with trying to get pregnant again. This way, you know that your body will be completly clean and not anything else to worry about. I'll pray for you to feel better. I know you must be feeling sad right now and I'm very sorry for that. Take care.
