I go for my third beta tomorrow. First u/s on Friday and the HB u/s on December 11th. I am trying to stay as calm as possible. Since I lost my last three pregnancies, it is really hard. I feel very good about this one. I didn't with the three I lost. I am trying to remember that I put this in God's hands so I have to trust that what is meant to be will ...1 Recommendation -

So, I just had my second visit with my counselor and it was great!!!! I was so surprised because I was so surprised to not like it. We've all said how frustrating it is to try to get others to understand what we're going through with SIF and I expected to feel the same with the counselor, but I really felt better when I left the session.

So today was my due date. I think that I handled it surprisingly well. My husband and I decided to celebrate the family that we already have today. I made a special dinner and we enjoyed some family time. I did light a small, white candle for my little lost baby. Looking at it glow made me happy. I felt very peaceful.
The week leading up to today was much more rocky. I was ...1 Recommendation1 Comment -

Seeking closure I have booked a couple of appointments this week in the hope of resolving my SIF mystery. I am ready to face the music as such - to hear the truth about my fluctuating high FSH levels, diminishing periods and lack of ovulation. I feel this part of my life has been going on for long enough and I am ready to close the door on it.

It was exactly one year ago this month I was receiving daily chemotherapy injections of Methotrexate and Leucovorin as a result of my second miscarriage and continuously elevated HcG levels. So why am I so anxious right now? The fall has proven to not be my favorite months (health wise). In November 2007 we were actively trying to get pregnant. We were successful but our ha...1 Recommendation2 Comments -

Infertility, Secondary Information
"Secondary infertility" is difficulty conceiving after already having conceived and carried a normal pregnancy. Apart from various medical conditions (e.g. hormonal), this may come as a result of age and stress felt to provide a sibling for their first child. Technically, secondary infertility is not present if there has been a change of partners.
See more Infertility, Secondary Information.
