AW: a tidbit of positive news

BookishMommaBookishMomma member
in TTC After a Loss
I just needed to share some positive news because I've been feeling down lately. I think many of us are, with the holidays and so many milestones looming. 

I had a beta draw this week and my HCG level is back to negative after my last loss (at 7w2d on 11/13). This was a huge relief for me, since with my 3rd loss, for which I had a D&C, my betas took a loooooong time to go down to zero and I ended up having retained tissue that necessitated hysteroscopic surgery. 

I still don't know where we are in terms of our TTC journey. I have a pelvic MRI scheduled for next Tuesday to look into the possibility of a septum, which was noted in the report from the ultrasound done in the ER that confirmed my m/c. Depending on what the MRI shows, we may be cleared to try again soon, probably with help from my RE. Or I may need surgery if indeed I have a septum. We'll see. But for today I'm relieved that it doesn't look like I'll have to wait for months for AF to show, like I did last time around. It's all about celebrating the small things, right?

I bought myself a latte to celebrate. And here are some for the rest of you. Thanks to all of you who've been so amazing in this crazy journey we're all having together.

    I love good news! Of any size, type, variety, or "importance". Like y'all have already said: in this hard, often miserable, journey anything good is worth celebrating! In fact, I may go get a peppermint mocha to celebrate with you Bookish ;)
