Well it wasn't a miscarriage after all?!?!?!

Comment Published at 15:0715:070 comments0 comments11 Visits11 VisitsReport

Leading on from my blog of 29th April, I was convinced I had a 3rd miscarriage this year with this pregnancy, all the signs were telling me that and I did not feel pregnant at all. I had some blood tests taken to check the HCG hormone but as the lab screwed up the results I never received any feedback from my OBGYN.

On Thursday I started having what I can only describe as 'labor pains' and I just put it down to the miscarriage. However, yesterday the pain was still there and I just knew something wasn't right... I went to the ER and with further blood work it showed my hormone levels had increased!  I had another transvaginal scan and it showed both ovaries were abnormal but nothing else. My OBGYN thought it was an ectopic pregancy so did a laproscopy (I think that's how it is spelt?) Anyway, it was an ectopic pregnancy and it has now been removed. There is a possibility not all of it was removed  so I still need to have further HCG test to make sure. The good news is my tube has been saved, bad news is it increases the risk of a futher ectopic pregnancy in the future. 

I am so shocked that I was not aware I was still pregnant, and as my Dr said it could have been life threatening had it ruptured... I am just so glad to be able to spend Mother's day at home with my family.

Boot camp

Comment Published at 17:3617:366 comments6 comments19 Visits19 VisitsReport

I started baby boot camp classes today..it was really enjoyable but I KNOW I am gonna feel it tomorrow... I am already feeling it in my hamstrings! I felt so bad as I was trying to remember the last time I did regular exercise and apart from aqua aerobics and walking, the last thing I did was kickboxing prior to getting pregnant with JB  I am going to make sure I do as many classes as I can before we move in a month! Today is the start of my 'get back in shape' quest!

Frustrated

Comment Published at 20:5220:527 comments7 comments25 Visits25 VisitsReport

I don't tend to blog about things too personal, but this is frustrating me, stressing me out beyond belief so I've had a change of heart ...

I had a miscarriage in January (at around 6 weeks), I then found out I was pregnant again, but had another miscarriage the day we left for the UK (just before 6 weeks). With both pregnancies I had symptoms really early on (within days of conception) then  prior to each miscarriage I had a loss of these symptoms, started spotting I then took another pregnancy test and it was negative. 

We were hoping to wait for a couple of months, however, last week I found out I was pregnant again! I am 6 weeks and 1 day today, I know this is dated from my period, it is only 3 weeks since conception, I started spotting again today and went to see my OBGYN. I had a transvaginal ultrasound and he saw nothing... (he did warn me prior that this could be the case), but surely there should be something there?!?!? All he saw was a cyst on my right ovary, the Dr said it is the type that does the job of the placenta until it is formed.  I have had blood tests to check the HCG levels (no results yet) and I have to go back Thursday to have another blood test to see how things are progressing. I took another pregnancy test this morning and it is still saying positive and I still have the pregnancy symptoms, yet I am not gonna fool myself as I know the spotting is not a good sign

I am the worlds most impatient person , I want answers as to what is going on?!?! I know the pregnancies have all been too close together, and unfortunately my body longer believes me when I tell it I am only 28 so age is against me too.. but I just wanna know why?  What is going wrong and I want to know all of this NOW (lol now I see where JB gets his temper tantrums from)
