After a really LONG day...I finally have a few mins to sit and sift through my thoughts...which are rather scattered and at the moment....Bare with me.

 How am I going to get through the next few months while TTC?...Also, what on earth am I going to do once I actually GET pregnant and STAY that way??

 I certainly do not want live the entire time in FEAR and anxiety, always worried about what may or may not happen...I did that with my Daughter Kaitlyn's pregnancy...I was constantly worried and so anxious. Actually I have lived a great deal of my life dealing with fear of some kind...That's a whole other story. Regardless, the losses have taken away so much JOY from pregnancy...
 I know That I will always have some measure of pessimism because of all I have experienced...Or maybe It would be a lack of innocence? which ever way you prefer, I know I will experience it to some degree...BUT I want to enjoy it, and have peace...I want to be still inside....

I got some advice today...By someone I love dearly and respect a lot.... It was as simple as "take a break for a year, and heal"....Sounds REALLY simple, and feasible, and reasonable even...But I cannot fathom walking away from this journey...

No, not yet. I began this Journey because of what God did for me, and through me, time and time again, to confirm to me, this is what I am supposed to do...I cannot give up. No matter how reasonable it may sound to sit back on the side lines and try to forget about it all.....I feel like taking a "break" is giving up...I feel Like I need to give it one more shot, and if then, it does not work out...I will re evaluate where I am at...

Then I go back and forth in my head...wondering, if maybe I am just diluted and going insane...trying again and again expecting a different result...maybe I should let go, and just forget about it....

But then my heart screams...
"NO!....NOT yet"....and then hope whispers..."Try one more time"....

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. METHODS: Those recruited were 697 asymptomatic women who attended their first antenatal ...

My game plan...

By
So I decided to give myself some goals and things to focus on while I recover from this last loss/ectopic. I will have to wait at least 3 months before we can try again, and let the effects of the methotrexate leave my body, and build up my folic acid levels again.  My plan: I am going to go back to my sugar/gluten free/semi paleo diet. I am going to cut out all caffeine (slowly over the next month) And, also starting working out 5 times a week or more. I plan to use a workout series such as Insanity or P90x. My goal is to lose 30- 50 lbs in the next 6 months. I also plan to start taking my old holistic remedies, like maca, red raspberry leaf and red clover, as  a fertility tonic. I plan to add in doing my castor oil packs, 5x a week consecutively, with two days rest. I also decided to really give taking serrapeptase a try. For those who do not know what serrapeptase is, I will give you a little run down on this nifty little enzyme. Discovered in the early 1970’s, th...
