Date of Pregnancy Test: 04/25/08
Due Date: December 30,2008
Remarks: I had my tr in March 2005. I did try clomid and IUD twice. Both were not successful. I have not used clomid or ovulation packets for over 6 months. Just left it in God’s hands. I am 43 years of age and I am always 26 days on my cycle. I did have it confirmed that one of my tubes is blocked from scar tissue so I only have my left one open. I missed my cycle and have not been feeling very well for the last week or so. I bought a pregnancy test and it was positive. I bought 4 more and they are all positive. I did this yesterday late afternoon. By the time I took the test the Dr’s office was closed so I did not get a chance to call but I am planning on calling Monday morning.

Date of Tubal Reversal: 5/1/07
Date of Pregnancy Test: 4/19/08
Due Date: January 19th???, 2009
Remarks: I’m not entirely sure how this happened!!! LOL - I must have ovulated right after my period stopped??? I don’t really ‘feel’ pregnant yet, the only reason I tested was because I thought I started bleeding/spotting again 2 days after my cycle stopped. Then it stopped after 2 days and started again 2 days later. I’ve never ever had spotting or any kind of break thru bleeding-except when I was pregnant. Also, I was having pain on my right side that was strong enough to wake me from sleep Friday night. We did the hpt and that line came of fast. We aren’t talking a faint line, like I would have expected on CD16!!!(if any line at all) My Dr. sent us to the Hospital since I was having pain on Rt. side. The pain went away and my hcg level was 549. Although it was too early to see anything, they did an ultrasound anyway. Nothing. I test today for 2nd level. I still have some spotting, not like I did on Saturday. Just playing the waiting game and praying for our miracle. Funny how life changes in a moment! Thanks!!

Date of Pregnancy Test: 04/15/08
Remarks: I have had 2 miscarriages and one ectopic (lost my right tube). We weren’t trying because my HSG showed scar tissue even though I did see with my own eyes the dye go all the way through. We weren’t TTC since I was told I didn’t ovulate without Clomid (I have never test positive for ovulation with test sticks or a fertility monitor without being one Clomid). We are in total shock and of coarse overjoyed and scared at the same time. My 1st HCG number at CD 31 was 21 at CD 33 39 (that was 45 hours apart). I will keep you updated.

Date of Tubal Reversal: November 1, 2008
Date of Pregnancy Test: April 13, 2008 & April 14, 2008
Due Date: December 6, 2008
Remarks: I used ovulation test sticks (7 stick packs), monitored daily temperature and monitored my cycle. In March (period began 3/1) the peak ovulation day was never indicated. In April I had what appeared to be a very brief (2 1/2 days) period beginning 4/1. Noticed swollen and tender breast on 4/10. Began my usual ovulation stick test on 4/11. On the morning of 4/13 I took both an ovulation test and a pregnancy test and the pregnancy test came up positive. Noticed some spotting that day. Had a quantitative analysis done at ob/gyn on 4/14 which confirmed the pregnancy. Monday 4/14 Progesterone 3.87 and HCG 144.1. Due to the low numbers I was put on Progesterone suppositories and pelvic rest. Wednesday 4/16 Progesterone 22.25 and HCG 176.8. Today, Friday 4/18 HCG 299.00. I continue daily spotting and remain on Progesterone suppositories. I am scheduled for another quantitative analysis on Monday 4/21.

Date of Tubal Reversal: April 2006
Date of Pregnancy Test: Feb 17
Remarks: I did not believe I could be pregnant because I had a period only 2 weeks prior to a positive pregnancy test. The reason that I took the pregnancy test is because I had all the signs of an ectopic pregnancy. I was right. The pregnancy was ectopic and my tube (right) had already ruptured. I had surgery and lost both the baby and the right tube. Took me a while to report this to you, but I thought you should have the info for your statistics.

Date of Pregnancy Test: 4/4/08
Remarks: Although my husband and I were extremely excited to find the pregnancy test positive on Friday, April 4th, I did start having some mild pains on my right side. The next day I had no pain at all, but Sunday morning I wasn’t feeling so well. I got up and went to church but I started to have some intense pain. I went directly to the ER. They did an ultrasound and found a mass in my right tube. The doctor could not verify that it was a sac and decided to do some exploratory surgery to find out exactly what it was. It was in fact an ectopic pregnancy in the tube which had to be terminated. Thankfully, there was no damage to the tube or any surrounding tissue. We felt that God had already given us a name for this child, Moriah Grace, and we will be holding a memorial service for her this next Sunday. Thank you Dr. Berger and staff. This is not the way we wanted things to turn out, but we now know that I can in fact get pregnant. We do so appreciate the gift you have given in restoring my body. Blessings, Tim and Joyce J.
