BFP WARNING
So i hate to excuse my absence; but I'm still feeling pretty crappy from the gallbladder surgery i had last week.
So i hate to excuse my absence; but I'm still feeling pretty crappy from the gallbladder surgery i had last week.
March was supposed to be our first iui month, i had gone in on march 3rd for blood work so i could start provera-so that i would be able to start our femara cycle that month with our iui. .
to my suprise. My RE office called and said they would not send the order for the provera prescription. when i asked why, the phone nurse said "well, because your pregnant" were still in utter disbelief. . i made her repeat my info like my social sec # to make sure she was calling the right person. . my last period was feb 1st, and feb was my hsg month- -some how; some way i beat the odds & ovulated (i cant on my own) and my husbands sperm overcame MFI, and we became pregnant.
first beta 104
second beta 302
i had planned on telling my 3t ladies on my birthday,(7weeks) but the sunday before. . i had emergency gallbladder surgery and there was risk of losing the baby from the anesthesia. . i was told it would be 20% chance of loss--so we were waiting for our (8wk) ultra sound with our RE to make sure the baby had survived. . they wouldn't do an ultra sound in the hospital because they said it was TOO INVASIVE. .
we had the 8 week ultrasound on tuesday. . total shock -but the RE confirmed that baby is moving, has a heart rate of 174.. and i shouldn't be so worried. . (i was fully prepared to take responsibility for my baby- if he/she died because of my surgery)
so here i am. . at a crossroads;
i've become so much more of an understanding and compassionate person because of this forum. . just 3t. .you ladies have taught me to persevere and keep going no matter what. . you have showed me how infertility is not rare. . and that everyone goes through struggles. . i honestly cant put into better words how much this forum and you ladies have meant to me. . you are always there for a shoulder to cry on, or someone to listen how horrible your day was. . i love you all and i am forever grateful. .
please expect ill still be stalking, and chiming in when i'm allowed. . i'm sad to move on to PAIF but i'm happy i'm coming from 3t. thank you all very much. .
