Background information - Jerry and I started discussing when to start "trying again" last summer. Of course, he wants a huge family and well, all I know for sure right now is I wanted more than two. :o) So my last package of Birth Control Pills was finished up at the end of December 09. I got a positive pregnancy test on February 3rd, I was estatic!! On our very first cycle of trying to conceive we did it! But sadly, the celebration was short lived because I started miscarrying three days later on February 7th. I talked to the doctor and he said that I wasn't miscarrying. . . In fact I had what is called a "Chemical Pregnancy". Which is when the egg is fertilized but fails to implant. Which could be a result of chromosomal problems in the fetus. So I was pregnant long enough to get a positive pregnancy test but not long enough for a heartbeat. Which strangely put me at ease. . .
So on to the next cycle we went. Cycle #2 was very informing because I took OPK tests, which verified that I was actually ovulating - which is awesome if we wanted to concieve. Cycle #3 was a total bust because I was sick most of the time. And it was an unusually long cycle for me (35 days). There was no hope of a 2010 baby.
Cycle #4 was are homerun and with the New Year, there will be a New Baby!! I tested with an internet freebie on May 7th and the line was so faint it disappeared before I could get a second opinion (or a picture). So I waited a few more days - the pregnancy hormone, double in value every 2-3 days. Mother's Day morning brought me a definately BFP!! (Big Fat Positive)
Yay! So obviously, the only two souls that know are Jerry and I. I'm going to try and call the hospital tomorrow to see which OBGYN's are around here. I got a lot of ground work ahead of me. . . but the hard part is over, right?!?! :o)
