Up early-

Reflecting-

I have had a rough week. Emotionally, I am kind of spent. thanks to the hormones. And some other things went down with some good friends of mine and church stuff, which I will not go into- but let's just say it has me in all kinds of knots. I have been focusing on NOT stressing and NOT worrying this week- But it has been trying!

I woke up early today, and for whatever reason cannot seem to  get back to sleep.I have to admit I was slightly excited to see my temp this morning- As it rebounded back up high after yesterday's drop. (see chart below)

Nice right? I Never get "dips" like that in my luteal phase. maybe once or twice in 29 months charting. Of course I  KNOW it could mean NOTHING, I still think it looks freaking good on my chart! LOL

So I stopped analyzing my temps, and drug myself back to "temps mean nothing" reality-  and made a small cup of coffee- and logged on to FB- to see several pics of baby pumps, and videos of bellies moving and  new born pics...Man, It HURTS so bad- sometimes I feel like I actually got hit with a arrow in the chest...I tense up- and feel sharp pains, and  then cringe from having to hold back the flood gates  that keep my tears from pouring out- As I quickly move the page and try to scroll past it all....Some of them-  I am of course so happy for- THRILLED to see them get what they longed for aster struggling- BUT it just KILLS me when I think of where I still am, and how much we have lost. It just guts me inside. I KNOW we WILL get our turn- But man- this has to be the most brutal, emotionally taxing wait- for something- I have ever, ever had to endure.

I am so afraid of getting amped up for this cycle- Staying positive, and really believing for a miracle- And then, have to walk away in the same place- yet again....I battle with being realistic ( pessimistic?) to having radical faith- Someday's I am convinced it is all going to work out, and SOON- But then I remember, I felt like that 16 months ago- And here I still am....

Maybe it is the combination of hormones- And lack of sleep- But, I feel so desperate- and vulnerable, and sensitive, and out of control- I hate it! I hate feeling like I have NO control over how I feel and what is going on.  ugh-

Ok I will stop with the whine fest.....

Lord help me make it through this week-

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...

Lost for words...

I have been a funk...Not really much to say that has not already been said before..I feel like such a broken record....But I guess I should start somewhere, and give a little update of some kind... I have posted a few picture quotes that reflects some of how I am feeling, but I cannot seem to articulate MY feelings right now, in a personal way that is comprehensible to others, and doesn't make me look like an ungrateful bitch... I guess I will start off by saying, we had another chemical this last cycle...( + test's at 6/7 dpo- 9 dpo, (I tested early cause I almost threw up while socially smoking a cigg and having a drink with my friend and I didnt temp so I didn't know really where my cycle was for sure) and by 10 dpo tests had faded some, and AF came the NEXT day, even while still taking 800 mgs of progesterone supps (which I did start late at 7dpo, the day I got my first positive but none the less), giving me a whopping 10 day LP...=/ Here is one of my FRER's f...

I am scared to even get a little excited.... I want to be elated right now...I do...But all I can think of are the "what if's"....I am going to try and stay as positive as possible, and keep saying over and over..."My body WILL carry this baby to term, I will have a take home baby!" Here is a pic ( below) of the dried test progression
