Hi Girls! I actually joined the BabyMamas thread earlier this week, but was hoping to join you all as well. Below is what I posted over there so you all can read our story.
My name is Sarah and I have been following your thread since the beginning when you split from the other group. Morgan reached out to me and said that it would be alright if I joined you all. I am definitely not an intro and then jump kind of groupie, so would love to be a part of the wonderful group you all have.
So....as I said my name is Sarah, my DH is Rob and we have our fabulously crazy DD Alyssa who will be 4 in March. Rob and I actually started dating in highschool and after a few breakups, a cancelled engagement and years of pinning for each other, we tied the knot in March of 2009. We started trying for our first baby right away and I thought it took forever (4 months) to get pregnant with her! My pregnancy was pretty typical. I had no MS and felt great. Around 32 weeks, I started retaining fluids, got carpal tunnel in my right wrist and was put on 1/2 day bedrests. Turned out I was delevoping preeclampsia and was induced at 37 weeks with our little girl. She did not handle delivery very well so I ended up with a somewhat emergency C-section. She was absolutely perfect and the best gift we ever received
Fastforward 2 years.....We decided to try for number 2. After a year of NTNP, 6 months of timing, temping, softcups and almost all my friends/sisters getting pregnant, we decided to see a RE. They did a boatload of tests and come to find out I had an AMH of 1 (low for a 32 year old) and my DH had a normal morph of only 2%. We tried 3 failed IUIs with femara, a few TI cycles and one round of IVF. I did get pregnant after the IVF but lost my two sweet babies around 5 weeks. We were absolutely heartbroken and I swore off TTC. However, we then got pregnant the next month, but I had a lot of cramping and bleeding early on and lost that baby around 5 weeks as well. I completely gave up and just thought that only God has control over when/if I will get my new baby.
Well the next month (July 2013), we got the biggest surprise and I got pregnant again!!! I was so scared and barely even accepted that it had finally happened until about 13 weeks. I am now 25 weeks along and our little boy is absolutely perfect. They are monitoring my blood pressure very closely and I am hoping to have a VBAC this time.
Thanks for reading my loooong post and I really look forward to talking with you all!
I stayed home from work Thursday and was feeling better Friday so I went to work but now I feel like crap again so I am back in bed.
