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!

25 weeks

Well, I still have a bruise where I was stabbed last week haha! But, the good part about all of it is that my glucose levels were normal! I do however need to start taking an iron supplement. I had to also with Owen, so I'm not too surprised. I'm iron deficient when I'm not pregnant, so I'm really not surprised. I'm feeling pretty good... I cleaned my house from top to bottom (nesting maybe??) and I was feeling it on Friday and Saturday. I also started organizing Ryken's room (which has been a storage unit for the last 3 years)... I figure if we stay in this house I need to make his room work... so I'm doing it!

On a different note, I'm waiting not so patiently for my sister to go into labor. She's 40 weeks today and has had a fairly miserable pregnancy, so she's more than ready! Every morning I wake up and check my phone to see if she's texted to tell me she's going to the hospital... but no such luck just yet! I can't wait to have a niece and finally get to be an auntie!
