8 week ultrasound!!
Sorry I've been lagging on posting but I went on vacation for about a week and a half so been super busy. Went in for my 8 week appt on Sep. 1st and saw our baby and it's heartbeat was 167 bpm!! So crazy. But oh so thankful. I am now 10 weeks and morning sickness is in full force (since 6 weeks) and nauseous on and off all day. Food aversions are in full force as well and just feel blah all the time. So tired and no energy. I'm so ready for the 2nd trimester to get here!! Hopefully at my next appt (Sep 29th) we will get good news again! I'll be a little over 12 weeks by then. My new EDD is April 12th, 2017! Went to get my blood work done yesterday so hopefully that's all good. It's definitely starting to sink in now that I'm pregnant and have a baby growing inside of me. Hubby is starting to let it sink in too. But we still are cautious of course and keeping our guards up. We just want this to be our take home baby so bad. We are definitely still thinking positive and just hope for the best.
Well I will update at my next appt!

Our little bean!!!
I can't believe I'm putting this but I have a baby growing inside of me!!! I can't believe it! I'm 6 weeks today and I went in because I had some red bleeding last week and some cramping and with me the usual case is miscarriage. I can't believe this is real...So not out of the woods yet but this is such a huge step for me! I go in on 9/1 for my next ultrasound and I'll be over 8 weeks by then so definitely should see more. The doctor said she sees a sac and she saw a little heartbeat!!! Surreal. I'm so praying and wishing this baby keeps growing and that heart keeps beating!! Please let this be it! I seriously can't take another miscarriage!

Pregnancy #4
Well here we go again...another BFP..
I took a test on Saturday morning just because I knew it..I've been pregnant 3 times before and it's the same everytime. Crazy.
I didn't even think that I ovulated this month because I had my progesterone tested on Day 21 and it was low. So I called the emergency line at my OB/GYN and the on call doc prescribed me Progesterone for 2 weeks. I had mild cramping on and off on Sat and Sunday, boobies hurt and some spotting which is normal if you are taking progesterone.
I just don't get excited about this stuff anymore. I won't believe it and see that it's real until I see a baby on an ultrasound. I don't look at what my EDD would be unless i'm asked. It just seems like it won't happen. Called my doctor this morning and should be getting my HCG levels drawn soon and probably progesterone too. I'm just waiting until that 6 week mark and I will start bleeding again.
I took another test this morning and the line is not darker than yesterday's so of course I'm thinking "nope this isn't it again..i'll probably be miscarrying soon."
I honestly hate this part...it's not fun for me, it's super stressful and it's never a good outcome. But, there's nothing I can do about it other than what I'm doing now with the progesterone and getting checked. If it's not a healthy baby, then it will be miscarriage #4 and we keep trying..ugh. I'm trying not to think about that but it's inevitable. Well, until next time. Not telling anybody (hubs knows of course) until way later.

Starting Femara today
Well, on to the next thing for us to do. Starting my 1st round of Femara today since it was shown last cycle that I wasn't ovulating (add it to the list). I was given 3 months of the medication so if I don't get pregnant within those 3 months, then I go back to the doctor and go to the next steps. I really hope this is the answer for us. But, as you all know, I'm not holding my breath.
Until next time!

February 5th
So today is a hard funky day for me...2/5/13 I had a D&C for my 1st pregnancy due to a blighted ovum. And today, 2/5/16 would have been my due date with my 2nd pregnancy. I'm not a big fan of this date as you can imagine. And February in general. February of 2012 is when Hubs and I first started TTC. A lot has changed since then, let me tell you. I don't even remember who that person was.
I had my follow-up HSG yesterday and it looks like I have a partial bicornuate uterus still. I will need to get the results from my doc but that's what it looked like while I was getting it done. It definitely looks WAY better than how it used to look, thats for sure. The procedure also didn't hurt as much as the first one and I'm thinking it has to do with no longer having that septum there. But, just a guess.
So, as of right now, we will start TTC again and see what happens. I'm a little worried about it but not that much. I don't want to focus on the negative but man, is it hard not to. I'm guessing if there are any issues, I'm thinking if I do get pregnant, that the baby would be breech and I would need a c/s. But, if that's all the issues, I will take it!! LOL.
I will update once I hear from my doc the actual results. Here is a picture I found online of what my uterus looks like kind of. Can't believe it's been 4 years this month since we started TTC. What the hell...
