Not sure I am ready-

Man, all of this stuff is soooo emotional...I keep flip flopping...

One minute, I am OKAY and ready to go full force into cycling with Braverman, feeling like it is going to be GREAT, and we will walk out on the other side with a much loved and wanted baby...The next, I am scared to death, and feeling soooo nervous about it all...What if it doesn't work, and we spend 5 grand a cycle on NOTHING!??......We just don't have thousands sitting around to blow on something that may or may not even work!! I hate that we are even "here"...I hate that the last two years were all in vain...Nothing I did or could have done would have even helped...All the meds, supps, DR's, tests etc...Just to end up here at the "worst case scenario situation" anyway...The one thing I hoped and prayed was NOT our issue, when I was researching reasons for losses back, 2 years ago after my 2nd loss in a row...Of course, that HAD to be what we are dealing with...UGH!!.....And no one can guarantee that our ONLY shot with these controversial meds will work either...At least with IVF you get a pretty good chance of walking away with a baby, or at least a few more frosties to transfer later...This stuff is just a crap shoot, and could take 3 cycles just to find the "right combo" and even THEN you still have a risk of M/C'ing - especially with our HLA restricting issues...God, I just don't know if I can handle this...I don't know If I am strong enough to walk down this road...I am afraid, if it doesnt work, I wont ever get past all this hurt...Some how, I need to over come the fear...

    I just found your blog through Emily. So glad I did. I remember being in the same place as you with fear. It is such a hard thing to overcome. My heart goes out to you. I hope the right path for you becomes clear. I'll be cheering you on!

After MORE than 17 pregnancies, (5 live births, one still birth, 4 back to back ectopics, and NUMEROUS early losses), a tubal ligation, tubal reversal, and tubal removal and c section .... I am saying farewell to a old friend. My uterus. I met with an OBGYN this week to look over my most recent ultrasound, that showed a large mass in the wall of my uterus. tween the pregnancies (mostly losses), the endo and PCOS, he STRONGLY recommended I have a FULL hysterectomy, including the removal of my ovaries. I am only 35 this year, so I will say I was a little taken back initially. However, when I go back and think through my GYN history, its apparent, I will ave a much better quality of life after its all said and done. Truth be told, my hesitancy inst related to the desire for more children. We are content, happy and feeling healed from the years of losses. The twins have completed our family and we are so happy to be past ever trying to add to our family again. My resistance has more...

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...
