What a year....

Image
By
The year 2011 was filled with so many great things, and some not so great things. I learned so much about myself, and gained invaluable wisdom, made some wonderful friends, and everlasting memories...Celebrated, mourned, and survived, yet another year...

I am just in awe at how life works out...3 years ago, I would have told you that you were NUTS if you had said this is what my life would look like today. Things can change so much, at the drop of a dime...you never know what is going to come around the bend.

Here we are 10 months post a tubal reversal I never thought would even happen, and with a NEW opportunity every month to try for another miracle baby...and this year, I am going at it with a new mind set....A new year...A new season...New HOPE, and renewed faith... Despite our struggles and losses, I am thankful for this second chance...Thankful for the possibility that this new year holds...Thankful that my Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome is long gone... Thankful for the beautiful family we already have...

I could spend the next year bitter and sad about the babies we lost, or that it is taking us so long, when others are already having their babies...I could wallow in my self defeat, and stay stuck in a funk... but where would that leave me? certainly not anywhere I want to be...But I admit, I spent too much time in that place in the last year...

 I choose this year, to overcome  the funk and to stay positive, hopeful, and full of unrestrained JOY no matter what things "seem"...

    Beautifully spoken! I hope that you get your stick bean soon! I have put off my reversal for two years, cause I was afraid it wasnt the right decision because it was taking such a large amount of money from my family.But on the other hand I wantedto do it soooo bad! I recently found out I have thyroid problems as well as PCOS, and I cannot help but wonder if the PCOS could have been avoided if I had only went ahead and done the reversal asap. This Feb/March however I do plan to go ahead with it if at all possible, and I am over the moon about it! Thanks for sharing your thoughts, and helping me to feel more confident in this being a good desision!

    I wish you the best on your reversal journey! It is one I will never forget, and cherish so much...even on the hard days. I can 100% say you will NOT regret your decision!

What you should know if you are considering a tubal reversal

By
Its been 8 years. 8 years since we took a trip to NC to see DR. Montieth in Chapel Hill. I remember being so excited. I had this picture in my head of how it was going to go during, and after it all. For those of you who don't know, I had my tubes tied in 2009, after the birth of my 3rd, directly following a traumatic still birth. It was a decision made out of fear and trauma, not an informed decision. I ended up having adverse health issues (PTLS) after, and was desperate to find a solution. I stumbled upon a private chat room with others also struggling. Several had gone for a reversal, and seemed to feel so MUCH better after. I had already seen my doctor umpteen times, and they offered no solutions, and insinuated it was "in my head".... I saw all of these ladies posting the day OF surgery saying that they felt relief! I was like, "Yes, this is it!!"... So we saved the 6 Grand, and went and did the reversal. I was PUMPED. I started a blog, YouTube video and F...

Some statistics on Miscarriage

By
Miscarriage Statistics Overall miscarriage risk is 17-22%; risk after gestational sac is visible is 12-15% Miscarriage is one of the most frequent problems in human pregnancy. The most widely accepted definition is that proposed by the World Health Organization in 1977. The incidence among clinical pregnancies  (a pregnancy that is confirmed by both high levels of hCG and ultrasound confirmation of a gestational sac)  is about 12-15%, but including early pregnancy losses it is 17-22%. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11950476 After heartbeat is detected, risk of miscarriage is 9.4% at 6wks; 4.2% at 7wks; 1.5% at 8wks; 0.5% at 9wks To estimate the risk of miscarriage among asymptomatic women after a prenatal visit between 6 and 11 weeks of gestation where proof of fetal viability of a singleton was obtained by office ultrasonography at the same visit. METHODS: Those recruited were 697 asymptomatic women who attended their first antenatal ...

Trust & New Pajamas

By
So, a blog comment I got the other day from wonderful woman, and awesome supporter of mine, caused me to pause a bit, and kind of evaluate some things about my faith and relationship with God. Which I truly appreciate, because she was kind and not judgy in her words...And I felt God gently nudge my heart each time I read the comment over... I felt my face start to burn with emotion, as tears welled up in my eyes...And I finally admitted to myself... I do NOT trust God...At least not fully, like I once did... But I desperately WANT to be at that point again....Trusting fully...And filled with peace... I walked into this journey,  to try for one more, 100% SURE , God was calling us/giving us the desire  to have another baby...I/we were, 100% certain we would walk away with a baby in our arms...As a matter of fact, I would have bet my LIFE on it. Now, 3 years later, I am broken, weary, and so utterly soul shattered, that I simply cannot "look" God in the eyes...H...
