I had gone through IVF a year and a half ago. We had spent all the money we had. IVF was not successful. This was a very hard time for the both of us.
The money spent, the time, the heartache and had nothing to show for as none of the eggs made it. It was a rough year after that and my husband and I decided to save the money and try the natural way and have me go have the tubal reversal surgery done. So on March 21st this year (our 1 year wedding anniversary) we traveled to North Carolina to the most amazing Doctor, Dr Charles Monteith at A Personal Choice.
In May of this year while in Japan on a business trip I found out I was pregnant, it just didn’t seam real. I went to a Japanese hospital where no one spoke English and had an ultrasound done at 5weeks and they didn’t find the sac. A follow up a week later and the severe pain and bleeding confirmed I miscarried. This was so hard for us to deal with as I was still away for another 2 weeks on business. No words can explain how I felt having no one with me and having a language barrier and not being able to go home for another 2 weeks. So I toughed it out like the girl I am and decided to not think about it or anything and focus on my family and my job.
On June 20th, I got another positive pregnancy test and made an appointment with the midwife. She scheduled an ultrasound and tried to estimate that I would be 6 weeks 3 days today. BUT that is NOT the case. You see today we went in for the ultrasound and I was telling the technician about how much my HCG levels have been more than tripling. He said how far along do you think you are and I said almost 7 weeks. He said no hunny you are 4 weeks 5 days and that my HCG has been tripling because we are having twins!
IVF or Tubal Reversal? Natural Way Is Always Best!
We are pleased to announce that there are not 1 but 2 babies on the way! Due March 2017. The babies are still in the early stages yet, so I go back in 10 days to make sure they are developing correctly. God always does things for a reason in the strangest ways even if it’s hard for us to except them. I had a dream before I went to Japan that I was going to find out I was pregnant while away from home, then I would lose it because I had to take care of somethings. Then I would get pregnant again and it would be a boy. Well needless to say my dream was to a “T” thus far. We love our big family and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. Our children are our lives, God gives us the greatest gifts in the world.
We can’t thank Dr. Charles Monteith and his staff enough for giving us this amazing second chance. I was very skeptical at first but now that I have gone through it I would highly recommend going to A Personal Choice instead of going through IVF.
