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!

37 weeks

We're full term! I'm praying though that he stays in... like I've stated before ;] I'm feeling more pain in my pelvis and hips, which is to be expected. Sleeping is harder, because now my hips hurt if I sleep on one side too long. I'm not complaining though cause I know it will all end soon enough and instead of waking up to pain, I'll be waking up to a sweet little boy! I also have taken to Derek's long sleeved shirts. I'm not hot this pregnancy like I was with Owen, so I need long sleeves, but no shirts of mine and barely any sweatshirts fit around my belly. So, now I just grab one of the few shirts Derek has and wear them... usually just around the house ;]

Derek left for Hawaii on Sunday and should be back on the 8th or 9th of November. He's hoping to be home for Owen's birthday on the 6th, but we'll see.

At my appointment today, Ryken sounded good and measured perfectly. I did have some spotting Saturday (very minimal) and was anxious for the exam to see if anything happened. Still no progress which makes me happy :] Even though I can't wait to meet this little man, I can wait til his daddy gets home!
