The last few weeks have been extra hard for me, emotionally. As I'm sure I've mentioned in previous posts, I take twice daily heparin (a blood thinner) injections from peak plus 3 days (essentially 3 days after ovulation) until I get a positive pregnancy test or start my period, and I also take progesterone at the same time. This is to (God willing) prevent me from going through yet another miscarriage. I've been doing this for the last 3 months or so. No pregnancy yet, which is aggravating enough when you have to stab yourself twice a day for roughly two weeks every month for nothing, but this last cycle was just awful. It kept looking like I was going to ovulate, but I never did. I'm not on any new meds, no big change in diet, environment, or stress level, and none of the meds I do take would cause my cycle to be so wonky. For several days after starting my period, I bordered on anxiety and depression. I kept wondering if I could be starting an early pre-menopause, or if I should call the doctor, or if we should just give up on the whole baby thing. However, even if I wanted to give up, I really can't. If I gave up trying, and DID actually get pregnant, by the time I realized it, it would already be too late to start back on the heparin shots and progesterone, and would be an almost guaranteed miscarriage again. So, I'm stuck. However, after practically crying all through my adoration hour on Thursday, and lots of prayers, I have been more peaceful yesterday and today. I decided to wait and see what this cycle holds, and if it turns out to be as wonky as this last one, I WILL call the doctor. Maybe there is something he could give me to get me back into my normal pattern. In the meantime, I would really appreciate any prayers. For my continued peace, for God's will to be done, and for my to be able to carry my crosses with faith, patience, and courage.
Thank you, and God bless! Dana
