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.

June 27th 2011: Second ultrasound, we're having a lil boy!

day 2

Just like I thought, I started my cycle yesterday... woke up at 4am with cramps that brought tears to my eyes and I was up for an hour with them. I've never been woken up by cramps in my life! I have had cramps this bad, almost 2 years ago when I was having my first miscarriage without even knowing. Well, looks like my chances to get pregnant in 2010 are over... I'm praying that 2011 is our year... our family's year...

    I am so sad for you. I obviously do not know what you are going through, but know that I feel your pain. You are like a sister to me and when you hurt, I hurt. God has such huge plans for your life & your family's life that you cannot even fathom. Don't lose sight of that. I wish that there was something I could do to help. I read this article this morning & it has a link to a website that you can talk to other women experiencing the same issue. I am glad that people are starting to open up and talk about this problem, because I think it is quite taboo, and people are afraid to talk about it. here is the link.. http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/parenting/on-lisa-lings-new-website-women-find-ways-to-cope-with-tragedy-2429017/
    I hope that you have enough people to talk to about this situation, enough people that really understand what it is you are going through.
    I love you so much & always let me know if you need anything.

    I'm sad for you too. And I cant help but feel guilty now that I am barely pregnant. But like you said He has a plan, and find comfort in knowing He WANTS this for you. Unfortunately we just have to wait and wait and wait. Put 2010 behind you and look forward my dear. you are always on my heart.
