About Me

My photo
I met my husband about 6 years ago and we got pregnant about a year into our relationship. He is 4 now and such an amazing kid! We have been struggling to have a successful pregnancy for 2 years now, with 4 miscarriages all in the first tri-mester

What does it all mean??

TTC= trying to conceive

BBT= basal body temperature

HPT= home pregnancy test

OPK= ovulation predictor kit

BFP= big fat positive (what we want!)

BFN= big fat negative (what we loathe...)




What's been going on?

Dec 2004: Met Derek at a friends birthday dinner (and didn't like him lol!)

Feb 2006: Conceived Owen by surprise

Sept 22, 2006: Derek and I got married

Nov 6, 2006: Owen was born!

Nov 2008: Decide to TTC for #2

Jan 2009: Longest cycle ever, take HPT and got a BFP. Go to dr and find out we're mid miscarriage

May 2009: BFP!

June 2009: Go to DR for first OB appointment to find no heartbeat, off to hospital for D&C. Told to wait 3 months before TTC again

Dec 2009: BFP and one week later start bleeding, miscarriage #3

Jan 2010: Go in to see DR, check blood and all organs working well, and ovulating well.

April 2010: Another BFP. About a week later start bleeding again, miscarriage #4.

May 2010: Talk to my DR, has me wait 6 months before TTC again.

Sept 2010: Go to follow up with DR, has me start taking prenatal vitamins, baby asprin and progesterone 48 hours after ovulation (to take until my cycle starts, or reach 13 weeks in a pregnancy)

March 7th 2011: BFP!!!!! (over the next few days I ended up taking 4 tests to be for sure positive)

April 4th 2011: First OB appointment... saw lil baby on ultrasound and STRONG heartbeat of 175 bpm.

Do you have those blogs that you read, but really don't know who those people are? I know it sounds weird, but there are a few that I read... one I had come across just a little after my 2nd miscarriage. She had blogged about the baby she had just lost and I just felt for her, my heart sank when I read about it and I felt all of my emotions go to sorrow. I just checked in on it and found out that she's pregnant again! I feel this weird sense of happiness for someone I don't know and a little twinge of envy. I see so many women who have gone through a similar situation or have had trouble conceiving, go on to have great pregnancies and beautiful babies. I think it was the most hard when the babies that were due around the same time as my 2nd miscarriage were born. I just loved oogling all of their cuteness and at the same time I was sad...

once again this is just me rambling on some of my crazy emotions... I don't want to sound ungrateful, because I'm not. I have an amazing family and I love my son with all of my heart, I am enjoying his craziness every day :)
