Not myself

This week has been a roller coaster of emotions. Wednesday I had my day 12 u/s which showed my follicle was not quite ready. Well, the next night at work, I just knew I was ovulating. My ovary was cramping...I could just tell. I called Tim and said...I am pretty sure I am ovulating right now! Well, I went to the doc the next morning after work. I actually saw a different doc, mine was out of town. There was no follicle to be had, and I explained I thought I ovulated last night. Anyway...he said we wouldn't know for sure until we drew my blood. If my levels didn't look like that was the case, I could have an ovulation problem. sigh.

I cried all the way home. I cried when I got home. I was so angry and mad. I don't want to be trying for another child...I want Zoe. I was robbed! What the hell! I was so angry I didn't even go to bed. I just curled up on the couch in a crying daze. I knew in the back of my head I ovulated, but I felt like we "missed the boat." How could I have ovulated when only 2 days prior my follicle was 14-15mm and I hadn't even gotten my hcg injections. I was so aggravated! I was NOT feeling at all positive about the situation.

Well, around noon or so the office called and said my labs looked good and it looks like I am ovulating. My lining was okay...but not super great. I guess the ideal thickness is 7-8 mine was 6.

So here we are and I am just not myself. How do we do this again and remain hopeful? I pray I get pregnant this month, but at the same time I want to remain realistic. I am scared, depressed, irritated, hopeful and hormonal. Not a good combination...not a good combination at all! So...pregnancy test in 2 weeks. Here we go again...

    Awwwe, sweetie... HUGS TO YOU! Talk to Zoe, she knows how much you want a baby- sometimes when I was really upset about things, it helped some. If you need to talk, know I am always here.

    Kate,
    I wish I could say something to lift your spirits. Know that you're not alone in this crazy journey. I'm right there with you. One moment I feel dark and depressed and the next, light and hopeful. The thought of conceiving another baby is what pulls me through to the next day.

    I had a BIG margarita at dinner tonight. I'm 99.9% convinced it didn't happen for me this month. I'm still spotting, so I went in for a blood test on Friday to have my progesterone levels checked. I hope that gets all worked out by next cycle. I've already marked my tentative ovulation days on my husband's calendar, so he can be available then!! I really wanted to be pregnant again by Ella's 7/10 due date. :(

    I still have a very positive feeling that it's going to happen for you SOON. Rememeber, I have pretty good intuition.

    Hope today is a better day. :)

    It is such an emotional roller coaster. The worst part of a treatment cycle is the story changing every day. I know you say you are not yourself...I am still not myself 9 months after my loss and don't know if I ever will be. I hope this happens quickly for you. Hugs.

My Beta

So...my level today was 108!!! The nurse said that was a perfect, healthy number...not too high, not too low. Chances are good we have one little charm in there. Which is PERFECT. We won't know for sure until our u/s...but I have been thinking it's one...and a boy. I feel really connected to a little boy, and awhile ago, Zoe came to me in a dream and said we were going to get pregnant with one baby, a little boy, and things were going to be fine. :-) Sweet little baby of mine...comforting her momma even in spirit. It's strange to be pregnant right now...It doesn't feel real quite yet. It does, but it doesn't. I feel really secure about this pregnancy...almost at peace. I feel deep in my heart we are going to bring home a living baby. It's will be strange to be a mother of 2, one in spirit and one here on Earth. I love Zoelle so deeply, and miss her with each breath I take. I wish she was here to share in the joy of this new life. At the same time, the new life ...

Testing, testing,...1...2...3

So I couldn't resist!!! I tried! Yesterday morning I woke up at 4:30 with the urge! The urge to hopefully break our BFN streak and prove to be pregnant. Well, into the bathroom I went, gingerly tip-toeing across the hardwood, attempting to avoid waking up Tim. I slowing opened the home pregnancy test package, praying that what I have been expecting was true. There I was, starring at the test...waiting for the line to arrive (Where else to go during the wee hours of the morning...I was trying not to wake up Tim, or the pups downstairs!). Then it appeared, like a magic trick right before my very own eyes! The faintest of faint pink line. It was so faint, I thought for sure it wasn't real. I bursted back into the bedroom "Tim...Tim...are yo awake?" In reply "Kate, it's 4:30 in the morning, what the heck are you doing up?" "I just took a pregnancy test, there are TWO LINES!" Tim's first reply was "why are you testing already and why at 4:...

Our Rainbow!!!!!

Amazing...simply amazing. I am soaking up every moment. I am so thankful for our little girl. So...introducing River Zoelle Mirth 8 pounds, 11 ounces and 22 inches long!!! Labor was long, hard yet amazingly wonderful. 12 hours of labor and just over 3 hours of pushing (these are the things the docs don't tell you can happen!!!) But we did it!!! Our rainbow is finally here safely in our arms.
