F.A.I.T.H. (Forsaking all, I trust Him)

[AmaryllisRed]

Oh my. I hope her levels are up today. She should def see a different dr! There's no way an u/s would show anything this early!! I will keep praying for her.

In other news, I got my bfp on Monday!! Praise God!!

Hello ladies,

tishie, thanks for updating us on your daughter. I would change doctors too. Because she doesn't need anyone negative in her space at this time. But just continue to trust God.


AmaryllisRed, Congrats on your BFP.

 

[tishie]

Done.
Will you come back and give us an update when you get one?

Well my daughter had her blood taken again and the HCG levels were 1378 a little more than doubled from Monday. The doctor did another ultra sound and still couldn't find anything in the uterus. He still feels its ectopic because of her medical history, but he can't "prove" it's ectopic either. He is still pushing for her to get an injection of the Methotrexate, but she won't do it without knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt that it's ectopic. She will go for more blood work and another ultra sound on Friday. Thursday she will be just 5 weeks, so hopefully if the HcG is over 2000 he will confirm a viable pregnancy. She can't get into the other doctor for a second opinion until Monday which she's scheduled for more blood work and another ultra sound. I'm scared because if it is ectopic it could be life threatening. So far she is experiencing no symptoms except regular early pregnancy symptoms (tired, peeing alot, sore boobs, etc), but the doctor said her symptoms can come at any time. Thank you all for your prays and support, it means so much to me!

Her numbers are rising nicely! And I must say I'm a little shocked by his method of "confirming pregnancy". I've never known anyone to be given a scan before 5 weeks. If she's high risk for ectopic then by all means she needs to be carefully monitored, but her nicely rising hCG doesn't point to ectopic yet. And there's no way to conclusively prove it either way this early.

Praying for good news.

And congrats Amaryllis!

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Wow, everything sounds good... except for that dr. Grrr... I will keep praying for her.

Yes, she's very high risk for ectopic pregnancy. I don't know the name of the procedure she had, but it's where the doc shoots dye through the tubes to see if they're blocked and he said they were100% blocked and damaged and there was and there was no way she could get pregnant. In fact she had her husband had gone to OHSU for an IVF consult and were planning on starting the process next year. Well I guess God really proved him wrong!! Yes, it is too early to prove the pregnancy so she's just going to wait it out. Thanks again for your support.

Tishie, that test is called HSG. More than likely when they did that test whatever was in her tube got push through and open them again. God works in his own way and I just love it!!! Please keep us posted on her.

AmaryllisRed, how are you feeling sweetie? Do you have morning sickness yet?

Not really... I've had some nausea, but I think it's just nerves and stress and all the excitement. Still sort of in shock about the whole thing, really!
And soooo emotional. I'm crying over everything!!

I am sure it is a mixture of all of them. Just take it easy and trust God. You will be fine.

Congratulations AmaryllisRed!!! I'm so happy for you.

Thought I'd give you another update on my daughter. She has no bleeding or spotting she has just the normal pregnancy symptoms, sore boobs, tired, etc. She has pain on the right side, but she has a huge cyst on the right ovary which the doctor said he would expect to be painful. Everything I've been reading about ectopic pregnancies most women say they spot or bleed in addition to abdominal pain, but she isn't having any of those signs yet. I'm just trusting God for this miracle! Some of my friends who I asked to pray for a healthy baby and pregnancy just said, "it's God's will, whatever he wants". I totally understand God's will, but he also commands us to pray. Why wouldn't I pray? I just don't understand why someone would say that to me. Isn't that what faith is all about. "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" Hebrews 11:1. She has another appointment tomorrow morning. I'll let you know how it turns out.

tishie, we are are going to claim, believe and recieve it in Jesus' name. Don't worry about others just put your faith into actions and we will stand in prayer with you.

God,

I pray right now for Tishie daughter to have a full term pregnancy and that you will bless the child and the mother to be healthy. I ask that you send your angels of protection around that child in Jesus' name. I pray Isaiah 54:17 over the mother and child right now. That you will bless them and protect them give them peace beyond understanding. In Jesus' name I pray.
Amen.

Just trust Him now, Tishie. All will be well.

Friday's update - I went with the my daughter to the doctor yesterday morning. They didn't have the results of the HCG tests when we got there, but the doctor did do another ultra sound. First off, he could see the left tube which was empty. But her right ovary has a huge cyst 32 x 38 cm - she suffers from cysts so this isn't an unusual thing, but it's so big it blocks the right tube so he can't see it. He did see changes to the uterus - there is no some fluid in it which he said is normal for pregnancy. He also saw what he said is either a pseudo sack or an early gestational sack, but he can't tell which yet. When the ultra sound was done we waited for the blood work to get back. Her HCG levels was 4164 from 1300 that was on Weds!!! He said he doesn't understand how she could possibly conceive, yet alone not have an ectopic pregnancy, but he said he may have to eat his words on this one. He said we need to wait until monday and she will have hcg levels tested again and also another ultra sound which should show either no change if it is a pseudo sack and if it is a gestational sack it should have grown. I want to really thank all that have been praying for her. This has been such a stressful time for me (and of course my daughter). It's wonderful to know there are Christians that you don't even know praying for you!! Thank you so much. I'll let you know what happens on Monday

Thank you Readforonemore for your prayers and support, you have no idea how much this means to me!!

Great news... I'm going to keep praying for her. Thanks for keeping us updated.
God never fails!

Hi girls. I've been keeping up with reading posts and praying for you all but not had much time to post lately.

Tishie - I have been praying for your daughter and glad that her levels are rising well. Hoping for good news soon.

Babyhopes - 20 weeks! Yay!

AmaryllisRed - congrats on your H&H 9 months to you.

As far as things are going here, hubby has finally been put on tamoxifen to hopefully help the azoospermia. It will hopefully block his estrogen receptors and boost his FSH and testosterone which should drive sperm production as he know he is making them in TINY numbers, but they're just not getting out!

Anyway, he's been on the meds for 2 weeks now and has more blood tests to see if it's helping in another 4 weeks time.
He is like a different man - I feel like I have my husband back! Symptoms of low testosterone mimic a lot of the symptoms of depression and within a week, he's enjoying life again, looking forward to things, more motivated, happier. I hope this can only mean they're working and boosting his testosterone and that there's good things going on inside him. I would really appreciate your prayers xx

Hi everyone. I took my daughter to the doctor today for another ultra sound and blood work for HGC levels. The doctor confirmed an in utero pregnancy - NOT ectopic. The ultra sound shows a gestational sac and yolk sac!! Thank you to everyone that has been praying for Kristen! He couldn't see the heart beat yet, but it's still a little too soon. The doctor said, "in thirty years, I 've never seen this happen, all I can say is it is miraculous"! Yes, we serve a God of miracles! Thank you again!!

Hallelujah! Only God. Amazing.

 

[NDH]

Praise the Lord! What a mighty God we serve! I love when even the medical community has no choice but to recognise a miracle

Praying that your daughter has a healthy, full-term pregnancy.

 

[ready4onemore]

I am over-joyed for you and your daughter!!! I had to share this with my DH. I praise God for her and I pray that God brings her full term with a healthy baby. Praise God for He is worthy to be praised!!
