The last six months of my life story told in numbers

This is the story of the last six months of my life told in numbers. It wasn't easy but (hopefully) it is over.

9/17/2009 - 10w6d, baby measuring 6w, :(

9/18 - D&C. No suspicion of Molar Pregnancy.

Bleed for about 4 days, spotted for another week.

10/05 - follow up appointment - everything looking good, cleared to TTC in December

10/30 - still no AF, positive HPT

11/04 - Hcg 373, U/S showed 3.5cm tissue missed, found out that it was Partial Molar Pregnancy. My hcg levels should have been monitored until they go down to 0, but they haven't been, because nobody suspected Molar Pregnancy. MP may cause cancer; I will probably go under chemo therapy. Either way, we'll have to wait to TTC for several months, maybe even a year!

11/10 - Gynecologist-oncologist appointment.

I was given a choice of another D&C (which may cause scarring of uterus causing problems getting pregnant again) or chemo. We chose chemo. I got my 1st Methotrexate shot. I will have those weekly, followed by weekly blood tests.

11/13 - Hcg 220

11/17 - 2nd Metho shot

11/20 - Hcg 51

11/25 - AF

11/24 - 3rd Metho shot

11/30 - Hcg 19

12/1 - 4th Metho shot

12/7 - Hcg 19 (freaking out)

12/8 - 5th Metho shot

12/11 - Hcg 15

12/15 - 6th Metho shot

12/18 Hcg 11

12/22 - 7th Metho shot

12/23 - AF

12/28 - Hcg 2 - I AM NEGATIVE (big drop correlated with AF)

12/29 - 8th Metho shot

1/4/2010 - Hcg 2

1/5 - 9th (LAST) Metho shot

1/11 - Hcg 3 (freaking out)

1/18 - Hcg < 2
