Hi, and welcome. This blog has changed a bit recently. My husband and I fought through 4 consecutive losses to get our second healthy child (born in December 2012) . . . and while we had not shut the door on the idea of another pregnancy, we certainly were leaning in that direction. On August 8, 2014, we found out we are pregnant for the 7th time. A total surprise. So the neurotic journey continues . . . third child or fifth loss . . . I'm scared and confused and just a teensy bit excited . . .

December 1st and an HCG Update

Well our first consult with Dr. D is on December 1st. I'm nervous, anxious, and scared. I don't want to say that I'm excited or hopeful, but let's say I'm glad to be moving onto a possible solution.

My current doctor called Friday with good news - my HCG is now down to 37.5. That's absolutely wonderful. Low enough that I don't have to go back for more blood work. I have to track myself at home for the next couple weeks and report back when I get a negative home pregnancy test or when my period comes back. I can't believe this pregnancy is almost over.

I still cry about it a lot. Every day. I thought this one would be different. I am supposed to be 11 and 1/2 weeks pregnant and instead I've just finally stopped bleeding and my blood work is now lower than where it was only 12 days after I ovulated. I don't know how to ever feel okay again. I still just can't stop wanting this baby back.
