So nice to see you, AF.....NOT!

Don't get me wrong, after a 17 day LP, I am happy she finally decided to show, but, I would REALLY like a 10 month break, with a baby at the end instead...
=/

( edited to add the entry below)

AF is kickin my ass today....I can def say for certain this last cycle was a chemical, as I am passing grey matter,and clots,  just like many of my other losses. I always know the difference in a period that contains the "products of conception" VS just a regular period, it is unmistakable....That kinda made me even more sad...I was half convincing myself that it was just the left over trigger messing with me...It seemed to lessen the blow at first, to the cycle being a bust...But really, It doesn't matter...A loss/chemical, BFN, whatever, it all ends with empty arms, and a broken heart, so it just hurts, period.

Today, as I was wallowing in my self pity, and simultaneously self loathing, for even having a pity party, I logged onto FB today, to see a good friend of mine (who I am thrilled for, really I am) had her baby this morning...We were due the same day ( with my Feb Angel/ectopic baby) and as happy as I am, it was a harsh slap of reality in the face, on a day where my hormones/emotions are a bit fragile...Half of me rejoiced for her, knowing she had losses too, but the other half just screamed inside, "why did I have to lose MY baby/babies!? Over and OVER and OVER??!!!" ......Then quickly hid the picture of the brand new baby on my screen, and wiped away my tears....Trying to pull it together...::sigh:: I wish it was not so hard...

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...
