    About Me

    My husband and I have been married for 6 years and we have two beautiful boys, 4 and 3 years old. They are such blessings. We have always wanted to have 4 children which is why we started trying for number 3 in the summer of '06. We never found the cause of our 4 m/c's but after a laparascopy, I am now pregnant with a very healthy baby.

    Interests

    I love the beach, reading, walking with my friends, spending time with my family, scrapbooking and cooking.

    • Close Miscarriage

      I found out I lost our 1st at 13w4d-lost earlier than that-at a routine check up-no heartbeat. Had D&E. 4mo. later I was pg again but at 7w3d I found out it was a blighted ovum & pills were used to start the m/c process. We have 2 sons that were perfectly healthy pregnancies after getting pg. the 1st mo. trying for each, the drs. say these 2 were just a #s thing. I hope so, but it seems strange to me. Add missed m/c #3 to list-bl.ovum again:( Add #4 to list-chem. preg. this time :(

      Treatments

      D&C Working / Worked
      It worked, but I did have major contractions 10 days later to get rid of some stuff that did not come out during the surgery...doctor said that happens sometimes, but most times a day or two later. Had another d&c with 3rd m/c because my hcg levels were coming down so slowly even after 6 weeks. It seems to have worked, my numbers are down to zero again!
      Grief Counseling Too Soon to Tell
      I started seeing a social worker that deals only with infert. issues, m/c's and postpartum depr. She has been through it all herself so I think she will be a good person to talk to. We'll see.
      HSG (Hysterosalpingography) Working / Worked
      I went after my 3rd m/c and it went well. They saw the tiniest of lines in my uterus but they said overall it is "normal". Oh yeah, and I have a floppy uterus! :) It does not affect conception and/or carrying to term though.
    • Close Pregnancy After Loss/Infertility

      I am currently 12 weeks pregnant and due on March 26th. This is my 7th pregnancy, but will be my 3rd earthly child if all goes well!

    • Open Infertility, Secondary

      I have 2 healthy sons who were 1st try pregnancies each time & when we tried for #3, we have had 4 m/c's in the last year & a 1/2. One was at 13.5 wks after hearing heartbeat, then 2 blighted ovums at 7.5 wks & this last one was a chemical pregnancy. Lots of testing done & all is "normal" exc. low prog. levels-took prometrium.

      Treatments

      Ovulation Predictor Kit Working / Worked
      got pregnant in 2nd month of doing this.
      Progesterone Somewhat Helpful
      I got pregnant, but then I lost the pregnancy on it.
