Tests, tests, and more tests...

 

 

After having a heartbreaking miscarriage in February, over a month later, I was still having complications.  I contacted my doctor and they recommended I go in each week (until the symptoms resolved themselves) and have a blood draw, to check my hormone levels until they are back at zero.

 

I was not happy about this at all.  I HATE to have my blood drawn. I once had a nurse stick me a half a dozen times to try to insert an IV and I've never been able to stand having my blood drawn since.

 

I was hoping there was another way, but sadly, this was it.  I sucked it up and went to the doctor.  This week makes blood draw #5.

 

 

 

 

 After over six weeks of dealing with complications from the miscarriage, my doctor decided I should have a second ultrasound "to see what is going on in there".  This is when I started to panic a little.  Was there something seriously wrong with me now???  Would I need surgery?  Would I be okay? Could I have more babies one day? Ahhhh!!!  

Not to mention the cost of a second ultrasound...we're into this over a thousand dollars now ($1,000+!!!) and with no baby at the end, it really doesn't seem fair at all. 

 

I know, I know, sometimes life isn't fair...but still.

 

We proceeded with the second ultrasound.

 

 

There is GOOD news after all!!! My hormone levels are back down and my body should be back to normal soon (finally!). 

 

We appreciate all of the happy thoughts, prayers, love and support from family, friends, and sweet hospital/doctor's office staff during this difficult time. 

 

We know that things happen for a reason and with the help of the Lord and those around us, we will be able to get through them.

 

One day soon we hope to add to our little family ;-)
