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!

week 12


Today marks 12 weeks. I finally made it to 12 weeks! Baby is now the size of a plum :] This morning I had another dr appointment and I got to hear the heartbeat. 168 beats per minute. Derek was pretty bummed that he had to work and couldn't come with us. He needs to hear the heartbeat for reassurance just as much as I do. Hopefully the next one :] We got home and I took a little nap... woke up SUPER nauseous. Seriously started kinda gagging while making my bed... sick. I am now trying to eat a sandwich so that I get rid of this nausea. Hopefully this symptom goes soon. One good thing is that I only have one more week of taking progesterone! I'm so happy that I get to stop taking it so soon! I was sure I'd have to be 14 weeks until I stopped, so when she said one more week it was like music to my ears! Well, I'd better sign off... got lots of cleaning to do before our out of towners show up this evening!
