  • Day 273 | HCG Keeps on Rising

    Quick post today. I’m in a wedding this weekend so my time is not my own right now. I did get a call from my doctor this evening and my HCG level went up again this week. Not by a lot, but it is up to 12,900. My doctor gave me all the options but […]

  • Day 267 | Hormone Count, Running and Public Humiliation

    Day 267 | Hormone Count, Running and Public Humiliation

    It’s been a hella day. Around mid-day I got a call from my doctor. When he calls me instead of the nurse, I can assume it’s not good news. I had my blood tested again two days ago, and the results came back. My HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) hormone went up again. It’s not at […]

  • Day 246 | 12 Mile Melancholy

    Day 246 | 12 Mile Melancholy

    This has been a tough week. My husband and I went back to my doctor on Wednesday. My doctor was able to remove the IUD now that he knew where it was based on the ultrasound. He said the odds of miscarrying after removing the IUD were high, but it wasn’t an option to leave […]
