Thought the 3rd time would be my charm :(

Hello Ladies, I would like to inftroduce myself and tell you a little bit about my story. I have had 2 early MC one at 4 weeks in November 2012 and another at 5 weeks in May 2013. I decided to go see an RE to get some testing done to see if there was an underlying problem. After many tests and lots of $, my RE determined that I have a "wacky" immune system and began me on a regiment of all sorts of stuff. Here it goes...Acyclovair (to combat my immune system), high dose folic acid, B 12, baby aspirin and a muti vitamin....then in September he had me come in for a scan to determine if we could start trying again. He saw a "residule cyst" he claimed was leftover from ovulation and said we would have to wait another cycle and then scan again. In October, I went back and got the go ahead to start trying again but with some "assistance this time". He put me on Clomid, an intralipids infusion IV (to keep my killer cells at bay), and an hcg trigger shot. I used ovulation tests and I ended up getting a BFP at the end of November. I was very excited but extremely cautious. He had me start progesterone suppositiories and lovenox shots immediatley. I began feeling intense symptoms and it just felt different this time. I went in for my beta tests roughly every 48 hours. My numbers were increasing but not doubling every 48 hours. Every day I would wait for that phone call holding my breath while a less than optimisic nurse would say, "well it increased but not as much as we like". I started to get very worried due to my betas and cramping on my right side. I kept asking to be seen for a scan and they would just tell me that they wouldnt be able to see anything yet. On Thursday last week (5 weeks and 4 days), I called my RE's office in the morning and demanded that they see me otherwise I would be going to the emergency room. They made me an afternoon appointment. My DH met me there as I left from work. My RE gave me a scan and just said, "yep, I think this is ectopic" like it was no big deal. He explained that he would give me a shot of methotrexate to "assist the process" and how I was lucky that I caught this when I did because I may have had to have surgery and could have ended up losing a tube. We were devestated. I was really trying to hold it together but I just couldnt. How could this happen? I did everything I was supposed to do. :-(. We left the office and I swear I cried for 2 days straight. I was so emotionally drained and physically as well because of all of the medication. I am really trying not to give up hope. I know that in the past these message boards have really helped me. My friends will try to comfort me, but unless they've been here, they really cannot begin to understand how this feels. Thank you ladies for listening to my story....I look forward to connecting with you 
BFP #1 10/28/12 EDD 07/09/12 M/C on 11/5/12
