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!

New Year

So this new year is well welcomed. I can't say that 2010 was a bad year... I only had one miscarriage (huge drop since 3 in 2009), we were employed the whole year, we are all healthy and for goodness sakes we got to live in HAWAII!!!! I can't say it was a bad year after that ;]

This year I'm looking forward to warmer weather here in WA (it was 15 degress driving home last night!), Owen finishing his first year of preschool, a new niece or nephew and lots of amazing memories with friends and family. I don't have a resolution... I don't want to set myself up for failure and get down on myself for not following through (which I am so good at). The last 2 years I have had a goal of getting pregnant or having a baby that year... I don't want to have that goal simply to not be heart broken at the end of the year. So, instead I'm focusing on what is here now... my husband, son, friends and family. Happy New Year everyone!!!
