ovary-z…I don’t think so

Three of my friends are in the process of trying to conceive a baby and one of them asked me which emotions I experienced while struggling with infertility for the past 6 years. She also asked me: How do you know when you’re ovulating? How does one deal with friends who are trying to help [...]

Rupturing Ovarian Cyst

I keep getting this one cyst on my right side of my body that ruptures every other month.  Today, I’m going to my OBGYN so they can do an ultrasound and see what can be done. I’m debating whether or not to get surgery and have this cyst removed.  Apparently, it’s minor surgery so that’s [...]

Hope & Blessings

A year ago, I was a month and half pregnant and not really wanting to believe this was happening again (being pregnant that is).  I was still recovering from multiple failed pregnancies, infertility drugs, getting ready to have surgery in February, and the possibility of going thru my first round of IVF, I just started [...]

Here’s an update (37wks)

Eric and I went to the doctor last week and Asher was still in the breech position.  We talked with the doctor about the two options we have on whether to manually ‘turn him’ and see if he stays in this position or to do a c-section.  Eric and I decided that if we can [...]

Lovenox

I just got a call this morning from my doctor (James Wilk) and he wants me to increase my Lovenox injections. Last week, I did a routine anticoagulant test and my results came back today.  Apparently, my homocystine levels are low so my injections have been increased from (40mg) twice a day to (60mg) twice a day.  [...]

feeling doubtful

Last night I had a “feeling” that something was wrong or the pregnancy is going to end. I woke up this morning and felt the same way. I’m not sure if it’s my intuition telling me this or if I’m starting to freak out and my doubts are starting to take over. No [...]

I’m happy to say there’s still a heartbeat flickering around. Grow Baby Grow!
Dr. F said my hormones are where they should be, but she also said it’s to be expected since I’m shoveling progesterone up my coolie 3x’s a day. During my visit this afternoon I told her a few things that I [...]

Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve last posted. I’m not sure if anyone reads this blog, but it’s a good way for me to express where I’m at these days. Last week, I went to my OBGYN (Dr. Fong) to see if a heartbeat was detected. Dr. F saw a flicker [...]

an update

Here’s an update with the pregnancy stuff~
I am officially pregnant about 4 ½ weeks and I’ve started on the Lovenox injections which actually hasn’t been too bad. I’m also taking extra folic acid, vitamins B6 & B12 which I haven’t done during my last pregnancies.
My OBGYN called yesterday and informed me that [...]

oh boy… here we go

Wow, it’s been awhile since I last posted. It’s been a busy few weeks and I will post some pictures soon of all our fun times and the friends we’ve got to hang out during this Christmas Holiday. In the meantime, I’m asking for prayer once again. It seems that I’m pregnant [...]

where I’m at

I’m not pregnant.  This morning I went to the fertility doctor to do an ultrasound, get some blood work done and if my blood work ‘looks good’ then we’ll start injections tonight.  Eric and I have also decided that we’re going to try and see if we can get two follicles developed in this round [...]

Prayer

Please pray for me.  Today I’m feeling a little discouraged.  I woke up and felt that I just want all of this pregnancy/infertility stuff to be over.  I’m starting to feel drained and I’m not sure how much more I can take of everything (emotionally and physically).  I just don’t know why at times it [...]

Fertility Update…

It’s been a while since we’ve lasted updated you with our fertility stuff. 
After our 2nd miscarriage in September E. and I went thru a series of blood and chromosome tests.  All out tests came back normal (which is good) but one came back negative.  Apparently, I have a genetic mutation called (MFTHR) which basically means [...]

Can this really be the cause of my miscarriages

My OBGYN called me on Monday and told me my blood test results (chromosomes and thyroid) were normal, except for a MTHFR mutation (for which I have 2 variant genes).
What does this mean? I’m probably looking at high doses of Folic Acid, Lovenox Injections, vitamins B12, B6, and Baby aspirin. I have so [...]
