So a few weeks ago, my husband and I decided to embark on a scary wonderful journey: we decided to move in with my parents, sell the house, and pay off bills before we buy/build a house. This, of course, effectively put TTC on hold. So of course, right after deciding to stop TTC, I …
Trying Again
Well, my first cycle after MC wasn’t too terrible. Random pains in the uterus or ovaries or something, started to think I might have had some issues with the miscarriage.. But I think it’s gone now. Back to TTC, though I’m not confident in our chances this month. Hubby got in the middle of a dogfight, …
Clearing Up
Cramps: gone. Red blood: gone. Pads and liners: gone. Down to just the brown spotting, mostly just when I wipe, so I decided to risk no liner today. I’ve been feeling normal for the past few days, got all the big clots out on Friday (and was feeling terrible half the day because of it) …
Light Breaking Through the Clouds
So, not gonna lie, this week has been horrible. I was taking 3 Percocet a day, and going through at least two pads a day. Yesterday was a lot better, had some cramping, enough to take a couple Percocet, but I felt more energized. Or rather, less dead, I guess. No Percocet today, and bleeding …
The Camping Trip
We went camping this weekend, so I decided to bring the meds along so I could take them on the way home, and get it all done before work on Tuesday. Well, my body decided it would help me get it done, but it kind of ignored that whole point of wanting to have a …
Bad News..
So, had the third ultrasound last Wednesday, and they were unable to detect a fetal heartbeat. Met with my doctor to go over the results on Tuesday morning, and it turns out the baby actually shrunk between the first and second ultrasounds, and they weren’t sure if the heartbeat they heard was from me or …
Week 8, Day 3: The Call-Back
Well, yet again, ultrasound showed a variable heart rate. They didn’t contact me right away because they misspelled my last name… Anyways, baby’s still in there, heart’s still beating, so there’s that at least. They want me to go in again to see if it evens out. Hopefully it does, so I can stop getting …
Week 8: The Ren Fest
Went to the Renaissance Festival today with my husband and step-daughter, and had a great time. However, one downfall was the heat; I get heat exhaustion fairly regularly when out in hot weather with the sun beating down on me, but it came on so quickly today that I had no chance to prepare myself. …
Week 7, Day 3: The Second Ultrasound
I had my second ultrasound last night, but no answers yet. They didn’t tell me anything about the baby, no reassurances at all, so I don’t even know if the baby is still in there, or if the heart rate is strong and healthy, or what else. It’s actually pretty frustrating, because it’s something the …
Week 6, Day 7: The Phone Call
Just got a call from my clinic regarding the ultrasound, and of course, getting a call instead of a letter usually means something’s wrong… They started out with good news, it’s a uterine pregnancy (I figured they would have mentioned during the ultrasound if it was ectopic), and the new estimated due date is March …
