Did you ever get your PG/STD results? I may have missed it as I was "away". I do hope you got a LONG list of "negatives".

I hope all is going well with you...

Scott,

You may have missed half the story. The PG thing resolved itself, from everything I can tell. I had a really strange and very early cycle, but none-the-less I don't see much chance I could be pregnant. And actually, I got brave on the day my real cycle should have started (which was almost a week after things resolved) and did a home PG test and it was negative, so I think I'm okay. It was very strange though--what I experienced this time was very similar to what I experienced with one of the very early miscarriages I had many years ago between my two kids, so I don't know if I had just spooked myself so badly that I messed everything up, or if I really was PG and it just didn't take. Either way, it's okay now, and I've learned a huge lesson.

As for the STD tests, no, I've not had them yet. I had an appointment scheduled and then things started, and I decided that it wasn't a good time to go in and be tested, so I cancelled. I'm going to try and make another appointment in the next couple weeks. I can't have the HIV test for quite a while yet, though I'm really not as concerned about it given that I don't think the guy was high risk and Iowa just really isn't high risk in general unless one is a drug-user or homosexual/bisexual male.

I was going to schedule to have my tubes tied. I do not, under any circumstances, ever want to be pregnant again in my life. But I found out that the guy I'm currently seeing (who has heard my ENTIRE story now and is still willing to see me--and I still think he's pretty cool) has been 'fixed' so I'm not going to rush out and have some unnecessary surgery at this point. If things end with him, I probably will still do it at some point.

So, that's the latest.

Hope thinks are okay with you.

Glad to hear that you had a near-miss and not a collision!

I am 42 and cannot FATHOM having another baby! I know there is a bit more to a tubal ligation than a vasectomy...perhaps you should consider it anyway, as a second "safety device"?

As for me...I bought into STBXW's feeble desire (words, not actions) one more time and got mildly burned...no more for me...the LB is empty...she isn't even attractive to me anymore.

THere is nothing she could say or do that would pique any interest in me toward reconciliation.

My IC told me that, perhaps the reason I am so mad at her, is that I am ALSO so mad at myself for having an A AND marrying a KNOWN serial cheater...it has an air of truth to it. Looking back, I should have known better, but that "fog" is a nasty state! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

I am working through that and, strangely enough, am looking forward to dating once the dust has settled.

Thanks for asking,

Scott
