About Me
My first reason for joining DS was for pulmonary embolisms In Sept. of '07. Then I had a miscarriage at 12 weeks on March 21, 2008. I have been with my DH for almost 10 years and every year keeps getting better. He is my best friend and we have never been happier. Right now we are trying to get pregnant, again. It's proving tougher than we thought. I have a feeling I will be joining the fertility support group soon. Thank you everyone for your support. This site has really helped me through some hard times.

Close Pulmonary Embolism
On September 7, 2007 I was diagnosed with PE's. My symptoms were chest pains and shortness of breath. A spiral CT scan revealed the clots in my lungs. Not until after I was released from the hospital did I realized how serious my condition was. At the time I had just run 18 miles for training 2 weeks before diagnosis and was about to run my 20 miler. Needless to say, I was given permission to run with my group for the 20 miler but to only run 16. I finished the marathon on October 7th.
Treatments
- Heparin Working / Worked
- Still use. Will stay on for a total of 6 months, unless I get pregnant. Only side effect was occasional diarrhea.
- Running Working / Worked
- I run 3 to 4 times a week with long runs on Saturday mornings. Running has always reduced stress and has helped me overcome almost any obstacles in my life.
Close Miscarriage
On May 21, 2008 we lost our little angel. I was almost 12 weeks. I had been on DS for previous pulmonary embolisms and I knew the moment I went off of blood thinners that I wanted to get pregnant. Our dream came true in March right after St. Patrick's Day. Everything was going great until I was almost due for my 12 ultrasound and started spotting. The rest is history. We are devastated.
Treatments
- D&C Working / Worked
- It's been 2 weeks and hell up until now. I had more bleeding than I have ever had in my life and passed some tremendous clots (tmi sorry). All last week I endured terrible night sweets so bad, I'd have to change my clothes and sheets in the middle of the night. That was last week. But this week, the bleeding has subsided, almost stopped and I've started my normal exercise activities again and I am feeling much better. The emotional pain is still there .
Open Trying To Conceive
I got pregnant the first time right away in March but miscarried at 12 weeks. We've been ttc since and have not been successful. So frustrating! Update 11/7/09: Found out we are pregnant right after we decided to pursue IVF. Had all the appointments and necessary paperwork ready to go. It's a miracle!
Open Fitness Goals
Type: Improve overall fitnessI'm a runner. I love it! It's my passion. Since my miscarriage last March, I've fallen a bit behind and have slowly put on the pounds. I start my running group February 7th and I can't wait!
Open Infertility
On our 9th month of TTC. No luck. Starting infertility tests (2/09)
Open Male Infertility
We have been trying since our miscarriage in May '08 with no success. DH's sperm analysis concluded a very low sperm count which his doctor and mine think is due to a groin injury way back in college from playing basketball.
Open Pregnancy After Loss/Infertility
After almost 2 years of trying to conveive and 1 miscarriage in June of '08, we finally got our BFP on 11/4/09! We had an appointment to start IVF that Monday! We are still in shock and feel so blessed, but the worry has started already!
