Day 19- Support

As I look back on the last 3 years,I can tell you, my NUMBER 1 biggest encourager and support was:  My husband...HE has been my ROCK and my fortress when I felt like everything around  me was crumbling....

Second: The amazing ladies in my online 'circles' ( you know who you are!) who have been there through me, thick and thin...Watched me POAS a million times, go through beta hell over and over, and watched us have loss after loss, All the while, just "being there" for me...For that, I am so very thankful....

Third: THIS blog, and you amazing people who have followed me, encouraged me, cried with me, laughed with me, and  grieved with me...Some days I felt like I would not be able to carry on with life, and i would log on, to a timely, and very encouraging comment, and it would turn my whole day around...Thank you, EACH and every one of you....

There are so many more, especially in the last year, who have stepped up in my "real life" ( Thank you Ladean!) and have come beside me to help me/us walk through the next steps of our journey, no matter which way it leads us....

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

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 ...

Ok...I may be on to something....

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!"
