So Pretty...

Of course, I have been doing this long enough (57 cycles now) to know that a pretty chart means nothing when it comes to pregnancy/baby, and especially in OUR case, it means literally nothing...BUT, still...Look at that!



I started tracking my cycles again with temps this month...Its been a while since I actually used my BBT therm.... I wanted to see where I was at cycle wise with managing my PCOS and IR issues and make sure I am documenting my luteal phase and ovulation days to see if we get any progress with balancing those out now that I am taking the metformin again....I kind of miss charting now that I am back at it again...It helps me feel a bit more in the "know" and feel in control... And to be honest, I KINDA started back at it again too, because we have stopped "preventing" again, and are just "seeing what happens"...Its probably a stupid move on my part, but at this point, why not? I have not been had any traumatic losses (that lasted more than 3 days worth of positive tests before bleeding started, and I wouldn't have even known had i not tested) in the last year and a half, since our 4th ectopic that took my tube, and I don't really have anything to lose by just letting nature take its course with both my cycles, and whatever pregnancy may or may not try to "implant"... But every now and again, when I see a pretty chart like this, I day dream about how great it would be to be given an amazing miracle of a sticky bean, with NO immune meds...BUT seriously, its wayyyyy more likely there will be peace in the east, than for us to get a take home baby trying "on our own"...LOL...

Other than this pretty chart, I don't have much to write about, other than a few of the new alternative medicine and therapies I have been using in the last month to manage some of my existing conditions and symptoms related to those...BUT, I will be making a separate post about that to fill you all in on what I am doing, how it is working etc...I am pretty excited to share with everyone, but I wanted to have a FULL month under my belt of supplements and treatments before I started singing too many praises and putting my cart before the horse...

I hope the rest of this week brings blessings and good news to those who are still in their journey to a take home baby, and much rest to all the new mommies out there! 

Love and hugs
Meg

      Too bad AF showed leaving me with a 10 day LP... Seems like progesterone is lacking these days without supplements ... Hopefully as PCOS gets better so does ovulation quality

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
