So I better explain what happened. Thursday night I started having really bad pains in my stomach and side, went to ER and had tests done. The ultrasound showed blood in my stomach around the end of my left tube and ovary. They think my pregnancy was a tubal that was at very end so luckily (or unluckily?!) it seemed to have blown out the end rather than needing surgery to cut it out of the middle. So I get to keep the tube, but not the baby. We were both crushed. We spent the night in the hospital and I am still getting blood drawn every few days. K has been taking great care of me and I am feeling much better. We both decided to try and keep looking forward and try not to think about it too much. We are focused on getting things ready for our next try.
My dr kept saying that this means I CAN get pregnant so it is good too, not all bad. We just need to do same protocol we did last time, and try again. I try to take comfort in that, since this was our 8th try and I was begining to wonder if I could get pregnant at all. He will do another HSG to make sure my tube is all clear still. The last HSG hurt so bad I thought I was going to die, so I will be asking for some strong pills!
K is making noises in other room, which I can tell mean that I had better get off darn computer soon, so I better go now. I will post more details about out TTC protocol and long history later,...oooohhh cervical mucus and pee on a stick, oh boy! I know you can hardly wait, LOL!
My boobs are optimistic and pineapple brings my period.

So my HCG levels have been steady going down since the whole trip to the hospital. Which is good in a way since I won't need any medical intervention as long as my body can heal and reabsorb everything on its own. No medical intervention means we can try to get pregnant again that much sooner. But while my hormone levels have gone down, my boobs took a long time to get the memo. They kept growing after there wasn't any hope, and even last night ( the day before I started my period) they kept getting increasingly "pregnant". It was a bit frightening just how suddenly they do things. I never thought that from one trip to the bathroom, to the next, I would be able to see a easily noticable size jump. One night they hurt really bad and when I went to bed I peeked and almost fell down I was so shocked at these big things that had grown in a matter of hours! WOW. It was fun being pregnant, I really miss it already and can't wait to be preggers again.
I started eating pineapple this morning to try and hurry on the bleeding, since sitting out for 2 months already seems long enough & the dr said it could be a couple weeks before I even start my period. It worked and I started bleeding today. The last time I tried to rush a cycle, I ate pineapple for 2 or 3 days and it started (4 days early) too! I avoid all pineapple during the TWW. I could just be crazy, but why tempt fate?
