Guest guest Posted November 16, 2001 Report Share Posted November 16, 2001 Dear Molly My ep was discovered on Oct. 31st and last friday I was given my third metho shot- my levels are at 182. We are in practically the same situation. Has your doctor been very helpful? This site has been so helpful to me in finding answers and support. I know im not the only one out there now!!!!! Im feeling fine now but just as i mentioned in earlier posts i feel like my body is just not working right. I have no idea what caused the ep and am scared it is just going to happen again. I do have a 3 year old daughter so that does help me alot. I did more b/w today so we'll see on Monday where im at. We just have to keep having faith.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2001 Report Share Posted November 19, 2001 Molly, I am sorry for your loss but I am very happy to hear that your friends and family are supportive, that is a very good thing. I know my friends and family didn't really understand that I didn't just have " surgery " but I lost my baby!! My dh and I had been trying. We found out right after Thanksgiving that I had an ep and was given an metho inj but ended up with a rupture and required surgery Dec. 10th 2000. I lost my baby and rt tube. It is definitely an emotional rollercoaster. It is a living nightmare but time does heal. Everyone heals at a different pace I guess but all you are feeling is normal. There were some days I just didnt' want to get out of bed and if I seen a baby I would just lose it. I still think of my angel baby all the time but it does get better. I found so much comfortable and support here and loved hearing all the success stories, that is what gave me hope to ttc. I hope you find that too. M mkeane1028@... wrote: Hi. My name is Molly, and I am new to the group. My ep was discovered on October 29th. After a weekend of severe pain, I went to the er. After hours of confusion, they sent me back to my ob to get two methetextrate shots. I was pretty much out of commission of the next two weeks. I went back to work this week, but my levels are still at 158. My side still hurts, and I am an emotional roller-coaster. How long will it take for me to feel back to my old self? This was my first pregnancy, and we really were not trying. Once I found out I was pregnant though, I was very excited. Now, I am just confused, scared, and sad. I have a very supportive family and group of friends. I feel like everyone at work is staring at me though. I am glad there is a support group out there, and I would love to hear your advice, wisdom, and stories. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2001 Report Share Posted November 20, 2001 Thanks for the note . It is nice to hear I am not alone. I got bw done yesterday. My levels are at 42, which is good news. I can't wait until I get down to 5. I am starting to feel more like my old self a little more each day, but I still get sad sometimes. I wonder why this happened. I want to know if I had an infection or it is endometriosis or what. My doctors keep calling it a fluke. I will have that HSG in February, after my body has healed. I keep praying for every story I read here. I am glad I found this group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 20, 2001 Report Share Posted November 20, 2001 Thanks for the response Sheila. I am feeling a little better each day. The main emotions now are confusion and fear. I am scared to ttc again because I really do not want the physical and emotional pain of another ep. My sister told me that that is normal at this stage in the game, and she is probably right. Thanks for all the support. Have a happy holiday. Molly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 20, 2001 Report Share Posted November 20, 2001 Becky, I am glad to hear your #s are going down. That is one step to be able to slowly move on. Don't be hard on yourself, you will have days when you are going to feel very sad but hopefully you begin to have some " not so sad " days too. It takes alot of time to heal. There are still things that can just bring me right back to the day I lost my angel baby too. It does seem that drs don't always have an answer to as why this happened. My dr basically said the same thing, it was a fluke!!! (whatever that is suppose to mean!) I hope your hsg goes well and you get a good report. I know personally, I felt better getting one done....it kind of gave me alittle piece of mind, which I needed at the time. Keep us posted. M mkeane1028@... wrote: Thanks for the note .

And being nuts is a good thing. =+) Catalina > Hello, I am new to this group and I just wanted to say hello.I have just read all the posts since I joined and you guys sound really supportive to each other. I can relate to lots of you. Oh and I think it's great for Rhonda fitting into her jeans. It gives you that little boost. It reminds me of a time when I first walked up a particular hill for the first time in years because of my weight and health. I stood at the top and yelled " I did it! " . I was so happy, although the people around probably thought I was nuts! But these little things make it all worth while. Anyway, I just wanted to say hello!

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 ***hugs*** Welcome Missy, I think we all know what you're feeling, and I hope you enjoy this group as much as I do. =+) I want to ask, because of the feeling I got from your post, if you've considered maybe getting some professional counselling/therapy. I'm thinking you sound like you might be having some issues with clinical depression, and you might benefit from looking into that along with the weight loss. =+) Catalina > > Hi I'm Missy I am overweight (by my standards) and would like to get some > help ..I have tried diets only to fail,It is affecting mein my personal > life,relationships,I wanna hide from the world,I feel so fat and not > wanted...I feel as if my fiance has withdrawn from me due to my weight > gain,,,I need help badly.....Missy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 46 degrees sounds like heaven to me. I live in Missouri in the US and for the past 3 days the high temp has been around 10 degrees (sorry I don't know how to convert to celsius). By Friday it is suppose to be in the 40's...thank goodness. Okay, this is going to sound really ignorant of me but I did not realize that volleyball was a sport played in Israel. That is really cool. Isn't it cool how something like that can motivate us? Great job!

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Hello. My name is and I have been reading everyones notes for a while and thought I should introduce myself. I have done weight watchers in the past with success in losing 50 pounds. I was 5 pounds away from my goal and found out I was pregnant. 6 years later I am back, I started 7 weeks ago and have lost 17.8 pounds as of today. I love this program and it does work!!! I find a lot of your stories and comments very inspirational and to anybody who is new to this...just stick with it. It works and it is so worth it. --------------------------------- Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Hi , I'm , mom to Maggie who is now 15 (and driving!). Maggie has a similar loss and was diagnosed at 3 3/4 years old. Her loss has flattened out over time. She has done very well with digital hearing aids, FM for school and auditory verbal therapy for a year at the time of her diagnosis. We are pretty sure she had the loss from birth but of course this was before newborn screening and when we brought our concerns to the pediatrician he poo pooed them for 3 3/4 years. She was an excellent lip reader and a very strong willed child who didn't like being put down on the ground - she was unknowingly keeping herself in earshot. Don't be deceived, being able to look like she is hearing you doesn't mean she isn't HOH or doesn't need the hearing aids. Over the time she wasn't diagnosed, probably developed incredible coping skills. A great book to help you understand how the hearing loss works and how it affects brain development is Carol Flexer's " Facilitating Hearing and Listening in Young CHildren. " You can probably get it via interlibrary loan at your library. Glad you found us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 I don't know about cookie-bite hearing loss (my son has the sloping kind that gets worse in the middle and high frequencies). But I know a bit about " bad testers " ! It took us over a year, and 5 visits to 4 different audiologists, to get an audiogram that was definitive enough to get hearing aids. My son was 2 while we were going through all this. Unfortunately, as the tests got better, they showed his loss as worse :-( We found that going to a facility that could provide TWO people for the test was critical. One person runs the equipment, while the other sits with Elias, makes the test into a game, and watches him carefully for his responses. Actually, now that he is 4 and a half, and a pro at audiological exams, he can do it with one audiologist - but at age 2 and 3, two people were needed. Elias has moderate-to-severe bilateral loss. He could always hear us without the hearing aids, but it was clear he was missing a lot, because he tended to be very quiet, and his speech was incomphrehensible. Since he has worn the hearing aids for a year, he has opened up a lot and his speech has taken off. So clearly, he needed them.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 It's amazing how everyone's stories sound so much like ! For a mod-mod-sev loss his speech was amazing...the first time we went to the audi, she didn't turn up the sounds loud enough for him to hear (we know this now...initially we thought he wasn't comfortable, didn't like it..etc) when we went back, she was in shock...she couldn't believe his speech... Then we went to the ent...and he said, after talking to joey and before looking at his charts... " So we think ph might have a mild loss " ....then he opened the file and stared...and said " or moderately severe loss... " and he just looked at for a minute...not quite sure what to make of it...then he tested him at his office...and sure enough...same thing... He loves hearing screens now...he was actually excited to do it last Friday at the ent....i think it was the highlight of his visit!
