That sinking feeling...

Image
By
Not really sure how to even start writing today...I just feel like I am in a funk, despite the awesome weekend I just had...

So me and DH and the kids took off up north to the Adirondack mountains in NY for a camp trip. It was the picture perfect weekend...80+ degrees, sunny, and awesome. We did so many things! Canoeing, and hiking, and swimming, and camp fires etc... For a little while I actually stopped thinking about TTC and the like...I Just enjoyed the time I had with my family, and met some new people who were in cabins close by. The kids had a fantastic time, and I thought to myself, it cannot get much better than this...


Then walks up...A lady, with a BRAND new 4 week old baby...who was born on my April 24th EDD for one of our angels...OUCH...Then to top it off, they named him Jonah, the name we were going to use if it was a boy etc...Double ouch....I actually did OK though! I did not cry and moved on, and just "let it go"....

It jolted me back into TTC mode...and I hurried to the potty to POAS...Of course BFN...But I was early, and glad to see the trigger was gone (and had been for the day before that as well). That was that...back to fun and games....

So we enjoy our last night there, with smores and goodies, and songs, and fun....


I get up Monday AM and have to pee super bad, and felt a little hopeful...so I broke down and grabbed the FRER...To my surprise, it was a light BFP! I was out of any other tests, so I could not wait to get home and see what a wondfo looked like...sure enough another faint line...and when I lined it up with my trigger progression, it was def darker!! I started to get a bit excited, still reserved, but a little excited...


I woke up today, expecting to see a little bit darker of a test, and it is BFN....both answer early result and wondfo...
Being that I am only 10m dpo, it could  be nothing, and may come back later...But even then, I just have that sinking feeling this is not our month...And even worse, I am feeling like I may finally be ready to give up...I am hurting so bad inside from all of this...I just cannot fathom being able to keep going on and on like this...
I want another baby so bad, but I long to rid myself of this pain, and bitterness, and anger, and despair...I just want it to end...

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 visit between 6 (+2 days) and 11(+

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
