It all happens this week!!

    I cannot wait to go and get all of these appts done and over with...The waiting has sucked, and anticipating what is going to happen sucks even more...I try not to "go there" and not think about what Braverman might have to say for our chances for the future and what a protocol with him would look like...But, Having seen and read a few other ladies stories with almost exact issues as mine, I can almost BET he is going to suggest Neupogen, and some other variation of meds along with it...And unless by some miracle we can get supernatural coverage for meds or enough money for it, there is no way we will be able to try again for a very LONG time, and at that point, I am not sure I will want to "start over" and have a baby so far apart from my other children's ages...Then add in the stress of the Nero DR, and the Brain scan for MS crap...Stressful!!
Anyway, Let's not go there just yet...I am trying, reallllllly hard to stay focused on the positive, but it is hard...

In other news, I stopped the pill the other day, and have had all sorts of strange things going on, from + OPK's to EWCM with bleeding and everything in between! I remember why I hate hormonal contraceptives...I plan on getting fitted for a diaphram when I have my next GYN appt. That is certainly better than condoms! UGH...

Now, to clean my house top to bottom to get ready for our trip to LI....I will pack the kids bags today, and finish mine tonight...I have most everything picked out and laid aside, ready to be packed away! Just have to tackle MT. Neverest the never ending laundry pile....

Fingers crossed this stupid storm we are supposed to get does not effect our traveling tomorrow....Freaking Groundhog said spring was supposed to come early...10 + inches of snow, 1 day before the first day of spring...Yea...OK...

Sorry if I am rambling, I am a bit over whelmed with all of the things I have to do this week, and all of the things that are kind of "coming to a head" so to speak...Makes my mind a jumbled mess!

Here is to hopefully, a good, productive week!

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...
