Little Bit About Me

My photo
First and foremost, I am a Christian woman: I love Jesus! In this blog you will find stories of trying to conceive with PCOS, MTHFR, Poor egg quality, a unicornuate uteterus, and too many babies in heaven. It is a good thing God is the ultimate healer! Here you will find praise! and you may also find venting (I'm not perfect...) and you will find other stories of my crazy life. All the while through this journey I am holding on to scripture & hoping to one day be a mother here on Earth (waiting on God & His perfect timing...why am I so impatient?) But in the meantime, here you will find me: Jessica, loving wife, hopeful heart of a mother, and faithful friend.

All writing in this blog is unedited and 100% from what I am feeling at the time. By continuing to read it means that you will take my vents with a grain of salt. You will choose to not take offense. And most of all, if you know me in real life you will either choose to stop reading or keep the knowledge of this blog quiet, and privately allow me to know you are reading. I only share this information with close friends. I do not share this with facebook for a purpose: it is meant to be semi-private. Not "public" knowledge in the sense of the majority of those in real life knowing about it. If you can accept all that has been stated, sit back, grab a box of tissues, and be prepared to endure the rocky road of trying to conceive while trying to get out of the shadows of infertility.

Another update from OB

They called this morning and let me know my results (which I already knew), they said they had hoped for it to be at least 600 and because it wasn't to do another repeat beta tomorrow to see where we are. Then when it reaches 2,000 we will do u/s to check for placement of baby. Unless I am experiencing pain or cramping before then.

I have news for them, they are doing an u/s before it reaches 2,000 because I only have one fallopian tube and I am not risking my entire fertility to follow normal u/s protocol. Even if it means telling them I have cramping when I don't. I am simply not okay with waiting and possibly having an ectopic pregnancy and losing my one and only tube.

For now I am trying to pump ahead on the off chance it is ectopic due to not being able to nurse for 48-72 hours post medication.

I did have one day of spotting, when I assumed it was that AF was going to start, a week later still no period so I tested on fathers day and got the bfp. If I was 4 weeks then, I should be about 5 weeks now. Getting close to the danger zone with ectopic pregnancies.

There is a chance it is a blighted ovum. And a minute sprinkle of a chance to go on and have a normal pregnancy, but most things to me point to ectopic. And I am just being a realist here.

  1. They should be able to see what is going on after your levels go over 1,000.

  2. We've been packing up our house, without internet access, and on vacation. I can't believe all that I've missed! Crossing my fingers that MAYBE this will turn out.

  3. I hope they are compassionate about it and you don't end up having to lie to get the ultrasound early. I think you are totally right to want an earlier one, though.

  4. I would just straight up tell them exactly what you just said. That you only have one tube and that you are not going to risk it because they want to wait for a number. I would be saying that it is imperative that you have an ultrasound this week. I wouldn't even wait for 1000. My tube ruptured at 6 weeks.

    Good Luck!
