Ectopic pregnancy. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methotrexate">Methotrexate</a> has now been injected into the muscle in my bum. It's primarily a drug used to treat cancer but it's given to women with early ectopic in much smaller doses. My liver function needs to be tested in a few days and it will deplete my body of folic acid. We're also not supposed to try for a baby for about 6 months which I consider a good thing that has been taken out of my hands. I don't have to think about it and don't want to make a decision about another pregnancy for a long while. I'm feeling relieved that we've made the right decision after a lengthy discussion with my consultant. Now I enter into the unknown for the next week at least but it's a lot better than letting nature take it's course. Nature and me, we veer off course. Nature needs it's ass kicked sometimes. Whew. <br /><br />Karen-I cannot ever thank you enough for staying with me all day and looking after me. I promise I did not develop kleptomania (much) while we were there. Somehow, you made it less painful and more giggly. I hope they do not have cctv. What happened in room number two stays in room number two ;-) Actually that makes it sound a bit dodgy! <br /><br />Did you know that speculums have a precise labeling system? They come in Virgin, Small, Medium. Medium-Long, and Broad. <br /><br />Also, did you know that if you leave Crocs out in the hot Texas sun they shrink by two sizes and curl up at the toes like Santa's elves shoes?<br /><br />I'm relieved to begin the end of this. Tunnel, light, and all that. Saw a double rainbow on the way home. Cuddled my babies when they got home from visiting their cousins, grandparents, and aunt, and felt peace. A lot of peace. x<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3603826-6742833537281979260?l=mrskittenhead.blogspot.com'/></div>Tosha (Mrs Kittenhead)http://www.blogger.com/profile/15771013056890239368noreply@blogger.com7
