AmCheri (and anyone interested) - update on me - MTX
sarahtoledo

Beta #9 was 700 yesterday, down from 1700 on Friday, after MTX Saturday. One of my legs still hurts from the shot that (I assume) hit a nerve. I'm wishing/hoping/praying hard that the numbers keep falling and I can be done with this, but I know it's not always so easy. I don't want to do MTX again and would probably opt for D&C. I feel like I need to decide ahead of time because they keep springing things on me so fast.
I feel pretty good physically and therapy + exercise are helping with the rest. MH had a second job interview yesterday that went well, and I have a third one tomorrow. Maybe life will get back on track soon.
Thanks again, so SO much for the support.
My feet and Miss Heidi the rescue mutt!

Hi sweetie - Hope everything does get back on track for you real soon. I am sorry you are in Beta hell - it is so ironic, we pray with all our hearts and souls for positive Betas and then something like this happens and we then want our number to be back to zero again. IF sucks and just takes the life out of you.
I had better get off the computer - the angry monster is coming out again.
Hugs to you.

I know it's best not to make any big decisions while you're in the middle of something, but I've decided to stop TTC. I may change my mind, but for now, that's the plan and it feels really good. MH is totally on board, he has been urging me to consider quitting for a long time. I never, ever want to go through this (or worse) again. I feel like I've been losing the same game for years and I'm sick of it. I really think that's why I'm feeling better... I needed to take some control.
How are you doing? Stimming yet? IDK anything about your protocol. EPP?

Sarah, I am so glad you are seeing a drop and I PRAY it continues to just shoot down like a rock. No more MTX, no D&C!
I just had another round of MTX shots Tuesday and I am praying the same thing for myself and the other couple of women dealing with the same thing. Let's this get behind us already... move on with reclaiming our lives!
Wishing you the very best!! Will you keep posting here or is this goodbye...?
I wish that society would stop pushing that the only way to be a validated woman is if you're also a mother. Women get so much flack and while being a mother is great and tough work, it's not the only thing that makes you a great contributor to the world.
Feel better soon and keep us all updated or send me an email. (Sorry I've been MIA dealing with my own dramas.)

No, don't be sorry! I've flaked out on so many things lately... I owed you an email. Honestly, I feel SO good about stopping. I might change my mind and give it one more shot, but for right now, I need this decision.
Thinking of you and wishing you the very best, Mitzi.
