Unexpected turns in our Lives

My last couple of week have been very long and frustrating. First off I usually get baby hungry pretty quick after having my babies. This is the first time that I have felt content and that I wanted to wait until Jantzen was at least three. Well back in April I missed my period and so I knew that if I was pregnant I was due the beginning of January. All my babies have been due in January. It has always been a joke that I just get pregnant in April if I am not nursing. I took 4 tests that said negative and then finally 2 said positive. About 2 weeks ago I was in so much pain that I felt like I was in labor. I talked to a couple of friends who have miscarried and so I figured that is what was happening. I went to the doctor had a ultrasound and went and did blood work. There was no baby in my uterus but the blood work said that I was pregnant. I continued to have so much pain but nobody had any answers for me. I had to go in and do blood work for a week and each time my numbers would go up and down and they were over 600 when they should have been below 10. Last weekend my pain was gone and I thought everything was fine. I did more blood work and so the doctor made me do another ultrasound and a scope. They found that I had a tubal pregnancy and I had over 200cc's of blood that had dripped down into my abdomen. The doctor doesn't know how I was even getting around without being in pain. I had surgery on Wednesday and they had to make three incisions in my stomach and now I am just recovering. My mom and dad have my kids up in Soda and I am getting bored being home alone, but I know I just need to recover. I have been really good emotionally throughout all of it because I feel blessed to have the three beautiful children that I do, but when I see on facebook or blogs that people are expecting babies around Christmas or something it makes me sad. I am just grateful that they caught it when they did because if it would have burst things would have been worse. They had to remove part of my tube, but I can still have babies in the future so that is a comfort. I am so grateful for my wonderful family and friends that have helped me through all of this. One thing that both the doctor and the lab workers asked me is if I was on the HCG diet and how harmful that could be for my body. So I guess this is a warning for anyone who consideres doing that diet that it could really mess things up and make things difficult for future pregnancies. I didnt' do this diet but I know many people that think it is great because you loose weight fast but it is dangerous. Well I usually don't type so much on her but this is just an update on what is going on with me right now.
