Geez Life has its ways!! In Gods hands

Okay so my whole journey took an unexpected turn!!! On Easter Sunday, I realized my period was late. I thought perhaps it is due to all the surgery stress. Soo I went ahead and took a pregnancy test that morning and it came out positive but the line was extremely extremely faint. I thought " this just might be a mistake" ran the dollar store took two more same thing, then bought a first response test, def prego!!! Well the following Tuesday I stayed home from work due to exhaustion and a really terrible cold went to my dr and requested a prego test while I was there. He gave me a urine test and it was barely positive, he then proceeded to give me a blood test. The nurse called me the next day on Wednesday and told me my hcg beta hormone was only an 18 a very very low amount. I had an obgyn app scheduled for Thursday, but that wed night at about 8 I started bleeding bright red. I went to work the following morning and had to leave early because the amount of blood I was passing I called my obgyn and went in right away. As soon as I got there he declared me an early miscarry I was 6 weeks and 5 days along. Well I grieved I was extremely excited to give my 18 month old son a possible brother or sister, but God knows why he allows for things to happen. Well before The miscarriage my hemo was 12.1, mind you I am scheduled to leave on the 26 I'm sure after days of passing my hemo will significantly drop. Hence why Im coming to my next conclusion. I'm reconsidering switching not only my day but my dr as well. I am enamored with Dr Duran's results. I personally know a young lady who has phenomenal results. I mean I'm just blown away with the thin tummy tuck car the slender slender back as and my favorite the perfect belly button. I feel as if yily gives elongated belly buttons and her tt scars are hit or miss. Well I do not want to wait much longer and I contacted Surgicoordinator and they told me they had a cancelation for may 15 and 18 so I'm trying to send them the money now. The airline is charging me a whopping 495 to change my ticket that's a 200 penalty fee and a airfare difference, if I can prove it was a medical emergency they will refund me the 200 penalty. So I'm going to go ahead and lose my deposit with yily and not take that risk with my body and go ahead and go with duran who has experience with my body type and know for sure I will get the results I desire from my first round!!!! Wish me luck and hopefully I can get everything switched within the next couple of days. Plus the lady at my recovery house notified me yily was recently notorious for burns, a recent yily doll who went like two weeks ago did yily didn't do her surgery or at least not part of it. I've waited this long another 2 1/2 weeks won't be anything!!! That way I can shed a couple more pounds which I've lost 8 since my miscarriage plus work on my hemo as well.

Sounds like you had a lot going on. I think you did the right thing by switching doctors. I'm scheduled for SX with duran may 23rd! Can't wait :)
thank you and yes!!! I just received my new surgery date today and is confirmed!!! Dr duran and on June 21!!!! Yayy!!!

Thanks for sharing your udpate. If you let me know you new doctor and surgery date, I can update your review to reflect your current information (if you haven't already). Just let me know!

hi, so sorry that you had a miscarr. As you said, everything happens for a reason. I pray you have more of God's blessings in every way, and have a smooth full-term prego and delivery in the near future, at your desired time. I 'm glad you feel better and have been shedding those pounds. Well done!! 8 is a lot.
Good thing you are shedding the pounds now instead of doing so post-surgery. That is usually discouraged. How much do you want to weigh eventually, prior to the surgery?
