I had my miscarriage on Tuesday. It was awful. I seriously hope that I never have to go through that again. I’m still having bouts of pain, and I’m not sure what that’s all about, but hopefully it stops soon.
I have an appointment on April 21 to see the reproductive endocrinologist. G and I both [...]

Just some sad ramblings
Posted in Baby stuff on March 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I’m so sad and angry this time around, much more than last time. I’m not sure why, exactly. I guess I just really had my hopes pinned on the progesterone helping out, especially after the specialist recommended that. I feel much more unsure now, about where we go from here. Last time I was much [...]
Another loss
Posted in Baby stuff on March 23, 2008 | 2 Comments »
First of all, I’d just like to thank everyone for their thoughts. Unfortunately, we’ve had some bad news. When the bleeding didn’t stop or taper off by Friday, my doctor’s office asked me to go to the emergency room, so I spent 5 hours there on Friday afternoon. Sadly, our little guy didn’t have a [...]
Bring on the drama
Posted in Baby stuff on March 20, 2008 | 3 Comments »
At about 1:00 this afternoon, I started bleeding. A lot. Great gushing amounts of blood. I called the radiology department where I had my appointment scheduled for tomorrow, and they got me in at 2:30. I changed into the gowns they make you wear and went into the ultrasound room and blood started just pouring [...]
Unreality

So I don’t feel pregnant at all. Every day, I wonder if there’s been some kind of mistake and that I’m not really pregnant. I don’t have any kind of morning sickness or queasiness at all, I don’t have sore or tender breasts, no cravings, no food aversions, nothing. I’m getting anxious for Friday to [...]
Test result update

I had to post quick, as my doctor’s office just got back to me with the results of my tests:
Friday hCG – 636
Sunday hCG – 1126
Tuesday hCG – 1989
That’s good, right? My progesterone is 28, and they said that it’s supposed to be over 20, so that’s good, and my estrogen is 203 and is [...]
Why do we need to work?
Posted in Baby stuff, Thoughts on March 11, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I know I’ve griped about my job before. I don’t like it. I know that nobody likes working, but I’ve spent a lot of time recently thinking about what, exactly, I don’t like about my job. When I first interviewed for my current job, I half-hoped that they wouldn’t offer it to me, but they [...]
So tired I can’t sleep, or Hello, progesterone
Posted in Baby stuff on March 10, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
So this progesterone is kicking my ass. It makes me so tired, and when I’m exhausted to begin with, it’s hard to get through the day. Today I felt like I could barely make it home where I crashed on the couch and slept for an hour before making dinner. I slept for three hours [...]
The specialist

This morning I met with the fertility specialist and I LOVED him. He was truly awesome. When we sat down, one of the first things he said to me was about me not being pregnant currently and I said, “Actually, I am pregnant, I just found out on Monday.” He practically jumped [...]
Tough talk
Posted in Baby stuff on March 5, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
So all that stuff I said on Monday about my ambivalence about calling my doctor? Yeah, that lasted like five minutes. I’m just not willing to risk my baby’s life on my stubbornness. I called my doctor’s office yesterday. The receptionist wanted to talk to the nurse to see when they’ll have [...]
