Patience Has Never Been My Strong Suit

I think the hardest part on my sanity in the aftermath of my ectopic pregnancy has been the waiting. I have to wait for this to be completely over to move on to our next steps and honestly having a plan for what's next is what allowed me to move on quickly emotionally. I am so much better if I can just keep going.

So here's where I left off in my last post...

June 27: The day after my methotrexate shot. I started bleeding that day so I was hoping this process would go quickly even though I knew this whole thing could possibly take weeks.

June 29-July 2: I went for two HCG Betas the week after to show if it was working, it dropped some but not a lot.

July 6: After the long weekend the doctor decided he didn't like how my numbers were progressing and sent me for a second Methotrexate shot. Because I'd been before it was a lot less nerve wracking this time. I still got achey and tired after but it didn't last as long this time.

July 9: I went for follow up blood work and my numbers were way down! Things were finally starting to come to an end!

July 10: The bleeding is FINALLY slowing down. Only 13 days later.

July 13: My doctor messaged me today to tell me he wanted one more round of blood work next week to make sure I finally get to zero but that he was sending my referral over to the Reproductive Endocrinologist so I could get the ball rolling on that end.

I am so excited to finally being able to move on. This was a sad moment in my life but I can't change it and now it's finally time to move forward and get the help I need so I can hopefully make a baby.

Until then I'll wait...
