7DPIUI, Progesterone level check, the plan from here...

I am late getting a recent post up, but severe storms and strong tornadoes tore through our area yesterday and last night.  There have been deaths reported and lots of widespread damage.  Please pray for our area, areas in Mississippi and Arkansas that have all been hit so hard by these storms just 3 years to the day from the super outbreak on 4/27/2011.

I had my blood drawn yesterday morning to do a progesterone check (another hormone!).  I've been doing progesterone suppositories (sorry, TMI) since this past Friday, so I was hoping for good levels.  And they were!  Progesterone was a 21, which is great!  If you're just really curious and want to know more about this hormone and it's importance, you can read about it here.

Most importantly, we had a video conference with Dr. Honea on where we are in this cycle, and how we will proceed based on various different outcomes from the beta pregnancy test on Monday, 5/5.
I voiced to her some concerns I had in that I have been experiencing some "pinching" type pains on my left side in my pelvic area.  This has me worried because the left tube is where our ectopic occurred, and this is the side we ovulated from this cycle.  The chance of having another ectopic is 1 in 10 - high risk.  She isn't too worried about that yet as it could be coming from several different other things too, all of which were in medical terms that I can't remember.  So our plan is this:

Positive betaHCG test - YEA!  Baby on the way!!!

Negative betaHCG test - Proceed with another natural cycle (non-medicated) with my right ovary

Ectopic (tubal) pregnancy - Surgery around the 2nd or 3rd week of May to remove my left tube.  This scares me, but it also is OK.  Because it means I won't have to take another dost of Methotrexate, which means you have to wait 3 months before trying to become pregnant again.  With the surgery, we can start trying again as soon as my cycle starts.

So this is where we are.  I continue to pray that if it is not in God's will for us to become pregnant this month, that we don't experience complications like we did before. 

Please remember our area from the storms last night and the severe storms yet to come through today and tonight in your prayers today.
