Sorry I've been MIA the last little while, just been dealing with passing the BO(sounds stinky because it has been) blighted ovum. And also been potty training my 3 year old. 
Please read at your own discretion... ;)
So went to my appointment on Monday the 22nd and did an ultrasound and that sac was still hanging out in there. So Dr. Denson prescribed me cytotec and said I could take it when I wanted to or not and wait it out. He told me to call on Friday and let him know how things were going.
I came home from my appointment and planned to go out with my favorite boys that night and started cramping and bleeding heavily so we canceled our plans and I took some Tylenol and laid down and stayed close to the bathroom.
The next day was super heavy bleeding and clots and I was getting really light headed, short of breath and dizzy when I'd stand because of how much I was bleeding.
It was a tender mercy to not have to take the cytotec or wait any longer.
Wednesday was a little slower but still happening and I decided since I was stuck at home anyways I'd start potty training our 3 year old. He did awesome!
I'm still spotting and SO tired of it...just be done body...just be done already...ya know.
I had labs drawn Friday Sept 2 and my HCG has dropped to 152 so I definitely passed the sac. Now we wait until levels go to 0 to do another transfer.
I have an appointment with Dr. Conway tomorrow, she's the new IVF doctor here in Idaho Falls. It'll be nice to start new and fresh with a new doctor.
Our 11 little embryos get shipped off to Dr. Conway on Thursday too. So pray for them to have safe travels!
Can I just say how incredibly grateful I am for all the prayers for our family. They have held me together and I've seen God's hand and love throughout all of this. I can actually say emotionally I'm doing good and ready for another FET (it was easier knowing there was no baby and miscarrying then seeing the baby and heartbeat and losing them).
Sending hugs and heartfelt gratitude to all of you! <3 I'll keep you posted on what the plan is next.
I came across your blog through mutual friends. My story is similar to yours, but not quite so heartbreaking. I wanted to say that even though my IVF cycle with Dr. Conway didn't take, I think she is great. Good luck on your next FET! It's amazing how much you are willing to put yourself through to build your family. I hope you are able to feel God's love for you every step of the way.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind comment. <3 I'm sorry you have a similar journey you're traveling though. I'm hopeful to start new and fresh with Dr. Conway and hope your future endeavors to build your family bring you success and a baby to snuggle. Sending love and encouragement to continue on even though the battle is hard. At some point it has to work whether it's IVF, adoption, or some other method...right?! ;)
