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!

this one's different

I've been pregnant a total of 6 times now. Each one was pretty similar really. With Owen I was way more tired than the following 4, but never sick. With this pregnancy, I'm constantly exhausted and nauseous. I'm not complaining at all because this means things are working correctly. I'm just not used to dealing with the nausea. I have a stock of ginger ale in my fridge and my poor sweet husband is getting leftovers tonight simply because I can't stomach the idea of making dinner. Friends are saying "maybe it's a girl!" all because it's so different, but really... I don't care if it's a boy or a girl, as long as it's full term and healthy! I pray to God continually for the health and safety of this baby... since we got to see the little thing, I'm super attached.

Oh! And on another note, my sweet lil guy has been amazing... he keeps saying that he's so happy I'm gonna have a baby, which just makes my heart swell. He's also been pretty understanding of my laziness, and just hangs out with me. We've become the couch people lately... thank God he's being a good boy!
