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.

September

September is the month we get to start "trying" again. I have so many mixed emotions with this date quickly approaching. I am excited to possibly be pregnant with baby #2 and I'm scared to death that the progesterone and baby asprin won't work and I will have miscarriage #5. I am trying to stay excited so that I don't worry myself into a frenzy, but I can't help but think of how the last almost 2 years have gone. With starting in November 2008 and now here we are August 2010...

I am trying to take the time I have while in Hawaii, to get into shape and treat my body well. I want to get my body ready for a baby and give it the proper home it deserves. Also, giving myself a bit of confidence. I have been running about 3 miles a day 5 days a week and doing The Biggest Loser Weight Loss Yoga at least 4 days a week and even though I've only lost 4.5 pounds, I'm feeling great. I can tell just by looking at myself in the mirror that I've lost inches and it makes me happy. I'm hoping that I can keep this routine up when we get home so that when I get pregnant I can stay in shape the whole time... Anyways, I just thought I'd share a few thoughts on here... I'm thankful for these types of outlets because you can get everything out, help others and meet some super great people ;]
