OK....So, forget the neutral stuff and the last post...lol...

I have been in a "mood" for the last few days, since that string of BFP/preg announcements that rolled in a few days back, and I have not been able to shake it...Totally made me a melancholy mary today...Anyway...

Had a LONG talk with DH today on his lunch, about this cycle, and all that jazz...He said a lot of really good things...One thing that stuck out to me he said, "If you walk into this with the mindset that you are going to fail, or it isn't going to work, it probably won't"...Which is soo true...The mind is half the battle when it comes to fighting anything...Your mind is a powerful thing...I realized, I am letting all the past losses shape how I walk into and feel/view this cycle,and how it is going to go. I cannot do that....This one is going to be different...We are actually going to be on meds that we need, that have been shown to give positive results in many ladies...Not all, but a LOT ...We really DO have a chance at a sticky this month, and I need to stay as positive as possible ....So we decided, together, we are going to be as positive, upbeat and happy as we can, no matter HOW HARD it gets, and how much fear, doubt, and cynicism creeps in, we plan to kick it out and stay focused on the much wanted baby bean that we are about to create....If we come to the end  of the cycle and do not get the desired results, we will decide what steps to take next....For now...I stay positive...Lord help me...


Psalm 27:14
Wait patiently for the Lord.
    Be brave and courageous.
    Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.
Isaiah 40: 10
Don’t be afraid, for I am with you.
    Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you.
    I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.
Isaiah 40:17
 Because I suffer and am in need, let the Lord think of me. You are my help and the One Who sets me free. O my God, do not wait.

Eph-3:30
Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.

    I love your verses, they are so powerful! It is so easy to get overwhelmed and tell ourselves that it's not going to work, but your dh is so right. We need to think positively! This WILL happen for us. I'm excited about your cycle, it sounds like you are definitely on the right track. I hope this is it for you!

    I will believe those verses for you. God's plans are mysterious, but your DH is right, staying positive and hopeful is the best thing for both of you through this journey.

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.

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
