Habitual Abort-er...

Image
By
Those were the words that screamed out from the page as I read the "revisit summary" from the patient portal after my RE visit last week...
It was almost as if everything thing else written on that page, just simply did not exist....I only saw...

Habitual abort-er....

How could that be on MY chart?? How could that be what is defining me right now??  I almost got sick to my stomach as I sat there and read it, over, and over, and over again....

First of all. the term it self, almost implies that I CHOSE this...When I think of an abortion I think of it being a choice...THIS was NOT my choice...I never wanted this! I never asked for this!! Then add in the term habitual...Again...Almost implies I did this to myself...As if, over time I have this habit of aborting my babies...

Now do not get me wrong..I KNOW this is a medical term..Just like "chemical pregnancy" is also a medical term...It does not change the fact that it makes me feel like total crap when I see this written about ME...


But I refuse to let this define me...No...I WILL get my take home baby...I will carry a living miracle in my belly again to term....I will see the rainbow after the storm...I  am NOT a habitual Abort-er...No I am a woman...who has lost many precious angels...A woman who is Still Standing after it all...Standing in faith...Hoping and praying...sometimes falling...But I always Stand up again...And keep going forward...One small step at a 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 ...

By
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
