It's a good thing I didn't delete this blog. It was good reference for all that we went through to bring LR to this world. I took some notes to bring to my new OB tomorrow, for the First Appointment for the next baby.

Praying that this is not: a) false; b) ectopic; c) not viable; d) twins or more. By my approximations (as in when my BBT shifted) I am about 7 weeks along. If you go by the date of my LMP, I am 9 weeks along. Hopefully the ultrasound will help with any adjusting.

I already answered two awkward questions: How many pregnancies is this? Um, 4. How many births? Um, 3. I'm 40, high-risk, and I have a funky (and spreading) rash on my leg that appeared in December 2009, and I stopped using the topical corticosteroid just two weeks before I conceived, as I suspected this was contributing to non-conception. But I can't be absolutely sure it was stopping the corticosteroid, since I also did some Mayan massage and started taking Fertility Blend. Why I didn't do this regimen sooner is really beyond me, but this timing is seeming to work out with my work schedule. I just hope work is open to me working from bed.

So tomorrow I find out the plan for this pregnancy: the cerclage, bedrest, 17p shots. Here we go again.
