Just when...

I thought it could not get any worse...
it did...

It turns out, not only did I have my 10th loss since TTC this time around, but this last one ended up being ectopic...

I woke up sunday morning and tested, and  got a nice line...Two hours later, began to bleed severely. I marked it as CD1 and chalked it up to a chemical pregnancy. Fast forward 2 days, and I was feeling strange, had strange pain, and the flow of AF had changed and went all whacky...I tested on a whim...to my dismay, it was MUCH darker..

Today...I test again...Darker! Still in a lot of pain.

I had an Appt. with the new RE today. It went very well....We talked about a few different things. First was my darkening lines and bleeding ect. We decided on a u/s in office and a beta HCG at my local lab for today(wed) and Friday.

Next. Basically, There is no other real blood tests to do, as I have had everything done. We talked over my HSG and SIS results. and he said those tend to show only major abnormalities...He suggested we do a hysterscopy, and go in with a small camera to get a better look. I agreed and told him I asked for one 7 months ago at the other RE. Anyway, We then decided that once the current pregnancy situation was resolved, I was going to take a 3 month break, on birth control...And let my body rest, and heal. I agreed, as I just really felt like it was something I needed to do...I left there overall with a good vibe from the new DR, and felt very comfortable.

So I leave and stop at my local lab, and get my beta. I wait a couple hours, and get the cal...
Beta- 78
progesterone -.08
U/S showed normal baseline CD3 type lining, so no chance of pregnancy in Uterus...That coupled with my bad side pain and non existent progesterone they urged me to come in for the methotrexate shot, and confirmed what I felt to be the case anyway...It is an ectopic pregnancy. So I drove back down, and got my injects...yes TWO huge ass needles in my BUTT...OUCH...Got the run down of the side effects and what not to eat and not to take etc...Got some good pain pills, and now I am home, resting, trying to make sense of it all.....

I just think....What if I had just not tested and thought my bleeding was my period...Like many women do...I am thankful I tested...that I listened to my body......I know I saved my tube and even my life....

    So sorry! I was on methotrexate for three years and it's a nasty drug, but it worked for what I needed it for. Let me know if you have any questions. You can send me a facebook message if you need to.

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...
