Appt change..

I got a call from my RE this morning, my appointment has been changed to May 11th at 3:30, no biggie is just a day difference and the time is way better....

The nurse also mentioned that my RE wants me to have another SIS and a physical, so I have to call on CD1 to schedule that. I don't know why I'm having another SIS, but I guess I will know on my next appointment. Since my #s are not back to zero yet, well maybe today they are... she said it would be another 3-4 weeks... I already stopped spotting so I'm hoping I get it soon.

In the meantime I'm having a telephone appointment with SIRM (a fertility clinic in Dallas specialized in immune disorders, endometriosis, and multiple miscarriages) on May 5th at 2:45, its always good to have a second opinion.

Chromosomal testing and beta...

My follow up appointment is not until May 12th (4 weeks after the D&C)... since by that point we will have the results from the baby... and all the chromosomal testing that DH and I had done.

I had a beta yesterday and the nurse call me with the results today.... beta is back at 6! Ughhhh I really thought it was going to be zero!!! Now I have to wait another 2 weeks and have another one done....

Chromosomal testing is back....Drum roll please... DH AND I CHROMOSOMES ARE COMPLETELY NORMAL!!!!!!!!! I haven't talked to the Dr yet, but the nurse said everything came back perfect! I'm so relieved that we have no chromosomal issues, since those are BIG issues... but we are back to square one, UNEXPLAINED INFERTILITY AND UNEXPLAINED MISCARRIAGES!

I hope we can get some insight with the testing of the baby, but most likely we will not... I know what my Dr is going to say... IVF is the route! We cant afford it at the moment, and we are not ready either. I'm looking for a second opinion, just for a piece of mind, I really love my RE. And of course in the search for IVF trials... but in Florida!

We will not consider any other treatment until at least November unless a Miami IVF opens up. I will focus on studying and passing my CPA, working out, and enjoying life... It feels great not to TTC, I'm definitely not ready to try again for a while!

My 26th Bday!

I can't believe I'm 26 already, I know most people will say, Oh WOW you are so young! But I just feel like time is flying... I feel like I just turned 21.... definitely years pass by so quickly! I just want to STOP the time!

I always dreamed to have a baby by 25.... now I dream to have a baby, doesn't really matter WHEN! I just hope God has a LO in store for us!!

I had a great b-day, all my friends and family came to my house for dinner and cake!! I had a great time! I will post some pics soon!

Then on Thursday I went to Disney!! I have been there many times, but I just love it! I feel like a little kid!

On Friday we went to Animal Kingdom in the morning, MGM in the afternoon (just 2 hours) and Epcot at night!! I still cant believe we went to 3 parks in one day!! Definitely what I needed, my mind was completely off anything besides enjoying the rides and the parades! I didn't want to come back!

On Saturday we went to the mall and to Downtown Disney. Of course I went to the Disney store , MY FAVORITE! I just LOVE Disney!!

Now I'm back to work and studying... my 2nd CPA exam (Auditing) is on May 27th and I'm sooo behind!! It's so sad being back to reality....

My angel is now in heaven.....

My 3rd angel is now in heaven. I know probably s/he went a couple of weeks ago, but for me today is the day and I miss him/her so much.

The surgery went well... I was scheduled for 10am but it didn't start until 1pm, OMG I was starving!!!!!!!! I woke up shivering and with some cramping, they put me some morphine and I went to sleep again. I was discharged around 4:30pm and I'm now home!! I have no cramping and very small bleeding, I feel great! The anesthesiologist told me that she put me some special nauseous and some strong cramping meds, so I guess they are working great!!

As far as testing the baby, he said there was not much tissue but he thinks it was enough to be tested but couldn't guaranteed, so we will have to wait a couple more days to be sure, I really hope he can!! My HCG was on the way down as well 1690 today.

I will be home tomorrow as well... he said to rest tomorrow and no exercise nor intercourse for one week, after that I can go back to my normal life. He said he didn't want me to get preggo so soon, which I doubt it though... so to be careful. I'm really not even going to pay attention to any O signs or anything, I'm leaving it to God, I doubt I will be able to get preggo on my own so if by any chance it happens, its a miracle.

Thanks for all your prayers, they definitely worked since everything went as good as possible!! I'm glad that this is over and I'm ready for a new start!!

As scheduled...

I went in for another u/s at my RE today, and there was no change. Sac measuring 5 weeks, intact not collapsing, and no bleeding. Apparently the bleeding we saw last week reabsorbed. My cyst are way smaller too.

I also went to my OBGYN, even though I was convinced of the diagnostic, I wanted a second opinion. He send me for an u/s and the tech gave me a sheet saying "Intrauterine pregnancy, gestational sac seen, measuring 5 weeks, no yolk sac nor fetal pole seen". My OB said not to get discourage, that many people m/c many times without a reason and that he is so sure my time will come. I'm convinced on that as well... we just have to keep trying and praying.

I'm glad I went for a second opinion, I feel confident now that I'm making the right decision to go ahead with the D&C. I just hope now that there is enough tissue to test the baby, I really want to know what I was having. I'm pretty sure it was another boy, we will see!

So the surgery is tomorrow at 10am, I should be home in the afternoon and I will update as soon as I can.

Please pray for a smooth surgery, a fast recovery and to be able to test the baby!!!

D&C scheduled...

Hi ladies!

My D&C has been scheduled for next Wednesday April 15th, I will be about 8.3 weeks. We will be having a last u/s on Tuesday at 11:30 and I will be giving all the instructions for the surgery that day as well...

I'm waiting on a call from the nurse, she has to fax me over some b/w that I need to do before the surgery.

I made an appointment with my best friends OBGYN, my DH and I want a second opinion just to be on the safe side. I'm sure that my Dr's diagnostic is correct but last time I regretted not having a second opinion, so this time we are doing it just so that I can sleep better! :) I'm waiting for them to call me on the appointment, it will be either Monday or Tuesday of next week, and they will do a abdominal and a trans vaginal u/s.

I just want the days to pass by, I want to leave all this behind and move on. I want to exercise, study, travel, go to the beach, I just want my life back and a new start. At least the weekend is coming up and that always make days go by faster. Please pray for us, for an uncomplicated procedure and to be able to test the baby.

Thanks everyone and May God bless you all always!

No change...

I'm 7w2d today, there was no much change from prior week. The sac grew very little and it looks empty. The Dr said there was a little fluid around the sac, not sure what he meant by that. He did say I might bleed soon, doesn't mean I will m/c soon, but that he does see a little bit of blood. He said also I might m/c this week or it can take up to 2 months.

The sac looks intact, so he said we have a better chance of testing the baby now than later, but that we have a 50% chance since the sac is still small. But looking at my previous m/c, the sac was even smaller at this point and we were able to test the baby.

My Dr performs the D&C on Wednesdays unless there is an emergency. So we are looking for next week the 15th to have the surgery performed, of course if I don't m/c on my own before that.

I really wanted to wait until at least 9 weeks... but my birthday is coming up and I really don't want to deal with that that day. I also want to go to Orlando for the weekend of the 25th, I really need a break and breath another air.

I'm still waiting for the nurse to call me, since when I was in there today my DH said he wanted to wait until 9 weeks and we scheduled our next appointment for the 21st, my b-day. So when we realized that on the car, we decided to do the D&C sooner.

I'm feeling OK, u/s days are always hard, but I'm hanging into God and his decision. I trust him.

Thanks everyone for your prayers!! Please pray that we are lead to the path we need to follow, and for God to reveals us what our next step should be.
