We saw the doctor today. Since it's taken a week for my HCG levels to get from 103 to 184 he suspects I will miscarry within the week. If not - we'll check my HCG again next Tues, if it's still gradually going up, it could be ectopic or blighted ovum. In which case we'll probably just go the methotrexate way again to get it all over with and done faster.
Yea, I'm sad. Seth's sad too. We'll just keep going.... the doc said it's not common to have two abnormal pregnancies in a row, and we'll do some testing to figure out if we can link the two together or see what's going on. Specifically talked about a dye test, so we can see what my tubes look like and what shape my uterus is. And also checking up on insulin levels - that has a great affect on abnormal pregnancies and can be easily taken care of with medication.
In the mean time, I'll be enjoying the nice weather outside. Being able to go 4 wheeling/go kart racing with the family next weekend in Iowa (which I wouldn't be able to do if I was pregnant). And have another diet coke. And we didn't want a Christmas baby anyway....

So sorry that this has happened again. It must be hard to try not to get your hopes up. I will pray that all will go well in the next couple of weeks. Hopefully we will see you in Iowa. I have just been so busy that I have not had a chance to call grandma yet.
And just a thought with all that's going on...have they checked your thyroid? That can really mess you up if you have an under active one.
I'm so sorry Megan. I hope they find out why this keeps happening. Let me know if you need anything, really!
And have fun 4-wheeling and drinking diet coke :)
Thank you for sharing with us, Megan. I felt prompted to include you in my prayers lately and maybe this is why. I'm happy to hear that you and Seth are so positive still. I know that murmuring always makes me feel worse anyway. I like your new blog, too. I agree that women need to share with other women their hardships because we know what it feels like to deal with so many emotions running through our hearts and minds. Thanks for opening another way to do that!
I'm so sorry, Megan. You are so tough. I'll second what others have said and thank you for sharing your experience.
You will get through this. Love you mate. If anyone can deal with this,you certainly can.
xo
*hugs* I'm so sorry. I went through the same thing (2 miscarriages in the 2nd tri) and I know how hard it is. You'll be on the other side of it eventually and be an enormous help to others struggling with the same thing. Maintain hope.
P.S. hope you don't mind, I found your blog thru Alicia's!
