Welcome ICLWers! This is my first time participating and I am very excited - I can't wait to meet new people and find some great new blogs to add to my list. If you are visiting my blog for the first time, you will find that I pretty much only write about our infertility. I have an IRL blog that talks about our life, our son, etc. and frankly I don't have time to write about it twice. This is an anonymous blog...that isn't becuase of you. I'm not worried about you finding out who I am, I am worried about people IRL finding out about the blog. I started this blog becuase I felt like most people IRL didn't want to hear what I really was thinking or feeling. If they hurt my feelings or make me mad, I want to be able to write about it without fearing they may find it.
If this is your first time here, my husband (W) and I are trying to get pregnant with our second child. We had our son (Jr.) in 2007 with the help of Clomid and began trying again in June of 2008. So far we have done 5 natural cycles with Clomid, 3 Clomid IUIs, 1 Clomid/Follistim IUI and 1 IVF. I did get pregnant from the IVF however we found out at 6 weeks that it was an ectopic pregnancy in my left tube. Unfortunately this little guy doesn't want to go away, so that is our current struggle. Once my beta numbers are down to zero we have to take a few months off to let my body recover but then we will be doing a FET (probably in July).
I hope you stick around and read some of our journey...
Hey Beth!!
ReplyDeleteWow, finding your blog is what I love about ICLW. We are in similar situations. I am also going through SIF, have one DD born in 2007 and I went through an ectopic last year. I am so sorry for your loss sweetie. Ectopics are so hard to go through. Mine wasn't persistent but it did take ages for my HCG to return to 0. Hang in there, it will go down eventually. It is so hard to go through this. I have added you to my blogroll, definitely looking forward to reading more from someone in a similar situation :)
((HUGS))
Stopping by from the ICLW & now following along.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your ectopic. Hopefully a rest will do your body the world of good.
I'm starting at the end of ICLW and working forward, and my reader is going to be full! ;)
ReplyDeleteI look forward to following your journey...

Happy ICLW!
ReplyDeleteWow. I am so sorry about your loss. My first IVF worked as well, and resulted in a miscarriage at 3 months followed by months of having to wait before we could try again. We are just now starting our FET cycle. So, I know the waiting is hard, and the pain of the loss...ugh. But you'll find your way through it. Best of luck to you!
I am so sorry you've had so much trouble conceiving #2 and that you not only had to lose the pregnancy but have had such a tough time normalizing your body afterward. Wishing you lots of luck in the future.

Thinking of you! Happy ICLW. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's my 1st ICLW too! I hope all goes well with your ectopic and the next cycle. Waiting and wondering what's happening and what will happen is soo hard.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about the ectopic pregnancy. I hope things get better.
ReplyDeleteHi from ICLW. I am so sorry about your current situation. I too had an ectopic that was treated with MTX. It was one of the worst experiences of my life. Maybe the worst. Scary and horribly sad.
ReplyDeleteI really hope shot #2 does the trick. I am sure it will. Wishing you luck and strength! I'll be checking back...
Thank you everyone for stopping by. I'm excited by some of the ectopic expertise - I think I will have a post of questions for you later in the week!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to your first ICLW! My first one was in January but I skipped February because it was such a rough month. I'll be peeking back here to see how your FET went!

Hoping that your body gets itself back to normal soon so that you can continue your ttc journey. Sorry to read about your loss, just heartbreaking.
