Off I go...

Off the pill that is...

Turns out the hormones in the pill are making my blood pressure a bit too high for my DR's comfort, and also there were some concerns about blood clots etc...Coupled with the fact that it has also failed me in the past even with proper usage, they said it was not worth the added risk, so I will just go off it and just use barrier methods for now....

No more hormonal contraceptives for me! I was really hoping to have a few good cycles of NO charting/tracking...But alas, my BBT and I meet again, after only a couple short weeks of a break....(Though, I did sneak a few temps in there this cycle, just out of habit...lol)...

We are going to take the time (while using condoms until AF comes- yea I know, like you really care about our protection methods) to also treat for any Ureaplasma that may be in there in either of us. The treatment for that is 2 weeks of doxycyclene, taken twice a day, by both partners, and barrier method used for any sex, as to not transmit any bacteria until it clears. It is kind of a preventative thing to just make sure there is nothing lurking in there that could cause issues for us in the future if we decide to and have the money to try again...If you have it and it is not treated it can cause some nasty issues, and so many DR's never test or treat for it. That boggles my mind, since it is so easily treated and can really help many women get and stay pregnant and reduce risks for PPROM and PTL. Anyway, off my soap box...LOL...

I am getting more and more anxious to get this next week over with...So much going on...So much anticipation...So much stress...I think I may pick up a couple bottles of wine for the end of next week celebration ..LOL It will be a miracle I made it through still sane! ;)

  1. I've read so many books that talk about the bacterial infection you may not even know about and how easily that can be treated. I guess that is the ureaplasma that you are talking about. So great you are being proactive....I mean why not just make sure? Enjoy your wine, but don't forget the condoms after you drink it! hehe

What you should know if you are considering a tubal reversal

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...

Trust & New Pajamas

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...
