Hello to all you ladies. I was just a lurker but joined recently. Just to think that I was on these boards about 4-5 years ago. This used to be all I would do, and everybody told me I was obsessed,but It seemed to give me comfort after all I went through. Anyways I will try to make this short and sweet, If I can. I was like all of you all and just wanted a baby so bad that seemed to be all I thought about and for some reason it just didnt happen that way. When my dh and I decided ttc we thought we would be like everybody else and go of bcp and 9 months later have a baby, no it wasnt that easy. I did get pregnant 3 months after bcp but at 7 weeks found out it was a blighted ovum, so I thought well maybe just bad luck i will just try again. Well took me 6 months to get preggo again and at 5 weeks starting bleeding very bad and by the time I got to the hospital I had passed it all and they classified it as a chemical. I became so upset thinking what am I doing wrong, but I wasnt doing anything wrong I was always doing the right thing. So the docs told me that unfortunitally they usually dont do testing for m/c until after 3 m/c. I just cried thinking please tell me I dont have to do this agian. Well about 6 months later i fell pregnant again and started spotting about 6 weeks went to the local ER and they seen 2 sacs but nothing in them and said maybe I was earlier to wait and see what happens. So over the weekend I started bleeding went back to the doc and I was m/c and had to stay and have my 2nd d&c. So finally we were able to get tested for I beleive everything possible and for some reason everything came back normal, beleive me I was happy nothing was wrong but I kept thing then what is wrong why cant I have a baby. The docs just said that everybody has a 20% chance in every pregnancy to m/c so just bad luck to just try again. So I got pregnant again and started cramping real bad but to spotting, so went to the doc and he pretty much said theres no chance for you just go home and wait to m/c. I left there so hurt thinking how can he just be so rude and not give me a chance I wasnt bleeding yet so yeah I did have hope that it would be fine. Well immediately left and found a new doc wich I love now and the nurse I spoke to I just fell in love with. They said maybe it is a m/c but for me to schedule an appointment and we will see what happens. Sadly over the weekend I started bleeding really bad and in major pain so I knew before I got to the ER that I was again losing my baby. So I had my 3rd d&c and after that the new doc sceduled me for a checkup. I started researching myself because I was so determined to be a mother I wasnt giving up and found that I may have progesterone issues. So I bought a cbfm and used it for about two months and never showed a peak so I called the nurse and told her so she said maybe you arent ovulating strong enough for a pregnancy. So I went in for cd21 bloodwork and yes I found the problem I wasnt ovulating strong enough. I would get my period every month so they never checked me for that. So I was proscribed clomid. Luckily it worked the first time I was preggo and my prog was out the roof. Even though I did have bleeding through the first three months I stayed pregnant, only to find out that at 28 weeks I was showing signs of preterm labor and tested positive for preterm labor. Was sent home on bedrest and given a 20% chance of going into labor in 2 weeks and sure enough 2 weeks later my water broke and there was no stopping it. My miracle little boy was born 10 weeks early and weighing only two and a half pounds. He did have alot of problems but thanks to the good Lord he is a very happy and healthy 3 year old. So in aug of 07 we started ttc again and thinking the same thing would happen the doc quickly prescribed the clomid again but this time it didnt work that way, the meds where making it worse, so I became so upset thinking why me why agian. We were scheduled for more testing well turns out that the month I didnt use opks or anything and let it be thinking there is no reason for me to try this month I will just wait it out for the testing. It just so happend I got preggo that month. I was so nervous thinking I would just m/c again because I didnt take clomid but no so far so good, Thanks to God everything is perfect. I am taking hydroxyprogesterone shots weekly to help prevent preterm labor but I am now 23 weeks and no signs so far. I just cant beleive it This is all I ever wanted to to be like a normal pregnant woman, and here I am It finally happend. Just so you know It is another little BOY!!! My son is thrilled. So I hope this helps all of you and never give up hope and stay strong and beleive that everything happens for a reason that God will help you. I know this is the hardest thing in the world to go through but in the end It all seems to work out!!!! GOOD LUCK to all of you.
Sorry so long!
