Back to Life as Usual  

Tuesday, September 16, 2008

So life has for the most part returned to normal. I still have to go for one more blood test... next week. My Dr. wants to track my hCG levels until it's back to 5 or less. The DH made a "baby dancing" joke last night... so I'm guessing that it means he's ready to move on.

I'm back to working on projects for my clients... which is good. Sitting around the house feeling sorry for myself was doing me any good.

I'm looking forward to trying again after one cycle (our Dr. said that's all we really needed to wait)... but I have to admit I'm going to likely be a ball of nerves the next time I pee on a stick and it's says "pregnant".

Miscarriage Update  

Tuesday, September 9, 2008

Wow. I never thought that I would write a post titled "Miscarriage Update"... but for those that care... that's exactly what this post is going to be.

I went to the Dr. yesterday (I go to a group practice and you typically don't see the same Dr. two times in a row.) Yesterday I met a new Dr. (she's not new... just new to me) and I have to say in the sad and stressful situation we are in, she was wonderful. She really put my mind at ease about what was happening... that it DOES NOT MEAN IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. She said I have an excellent chance of my next pregnancy being healthy and full-term.

I realize that in the future BFP's will never look quite the same, the pure excitement will likely be shrouded with shades of fear and doubt... but the mathematical chances of this not happening again are in my favor.

I still believe that God will only give me what I can handle... and I'm handling this. The moment that I actually said aloud "I release you to God" was a freeing moment for me and since then I have felt a deep peace come over me. I am of course still sad... but I am hopeful.

Thanks again for your support... it means so much.

"Baby Dust" to all the TTC couples.

Got the Appointment!  

Wednesday, June 4, 2008

I've got an appointment! A week from tomorrow. I've decided to try a new Women's Health practice. The last one I went to I just wasn't crazy about. Went twice and was happy the first time. The second time I did not have a good experience. Those appointments were just for annual exams... so if I wasn't happy with that I figured I ought to "interview" some new practices for pre-natal and maternity care.


Unfortunately the only appointment within the next several weeks that I was available to take is at a time that my husband can't go... so I'll be going by myself to my "family planning" appointment.

Hopefully I will like the Dr. I meet with, although it sounds like whichever Doc is on call when you go into labor will be the one in the delivery room with you. I did some searching on Google and local Mom blogs and websites and have seen only good reviews for the practice I'll be seeing... so cross your finger for me!
