Hit by a truck...

Yup- That is how I feel....

It is like the whole last month or so, finally HIT me fully...

   This stuff is so over whelming...I cannot imagine how much of it just doesn't even make sense to most of you readers...I know, some of it does not even make sense to ME, and I have been researching this for OVER a year now! I am sorry if I ramble on and on and none of it makes sense...I try to explain the best I can, but even I have a hard time articulating all I have absorbed. I am trying to sift through all the stuff that is going on, and it really can feel like I am in some kind of some sci-fi experiment!

   Reading up on all the specifics (and we still don't even have the FULL picture yet, and wont until the most recent labs come back) and the meds, and the protocols- I am going to be an injecting fool! LOL...Yikes. ( 4 injects a day!)  But I will do it, and be happy as a clam, so long as we get a take home baby! I am simply ecstatic that my insurance covered the meds at least for one full round, (of neupogen- the rest of the meds are cheaper) and I hope and pray it only takes one round to get there!

In the mean time, I am going to, as always, lose more weight and go gluten free again. I am going to save and save and save while I get those two things in check, and hope that we come into the money we need sooner rather than later. I would love to be able to pre pay and get everything sorted out, and then just cycle whenever I feel "ready"...I am not even sure how or what "ready" looks like, honestly...lol

But still, all of complexities of this situation hit me today, and it really is a heavy load...

  1. It really is a lot to wrap your brain around, but you are at least now working with a dr. who specializes in autoimmune stuff and all the work is not left you to for devising the plan. Your work is done for the research part I guess by now, and you can just let him lead the way! That's got to be a teensy bit freeing in and of itself. I know it's hard to put it all in someone else's hands after you've had to be such a researcher and advocate on your own behalf, but try to remind yourself that you are in good hands now if you can.

    As for the injections...if I can do 5 a day, anyone can do it. No, it's not fun, but like you, I just keep looking forward to the light at the end of this crazy tunnel.

What you should know if you are considering a tubal reversal

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...

Ok...I may be on to something....

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
