Hi ladies! I am trying to get to know everyone a bit better. A little bit of my back story: DH and I started trying to get pregnant in 2012. After two years of struggles, depression, and denial I FINALLY got that second line and my son was born 37 weeks later.

Due to severe complications from my delivery, cancerous cells being removed from my cervix in October and the fact that we haven’t used protection since my son was born at the end of 2014, my doc and I were both pretty sure I wouldn’t get KU without intervention. I was one and done. Which I had accepted. I didn’t want to go through the emotions of treatments. The ups and downs. 

Well, someone had different plans for us because I’m about 10 weeks along. Holy balls!

I am starting to accept the fact that I will have two children at the end of this year! It will be touch and go and doc is pretty certain bed rest will be in my 3rd tri future, but I couldn’t be happier!

Got pregnant the first time back in 2009 but lost it at twelve weeks. We started trying again for another one a few months later, but kept coming up with chemical pregnancies.

 2010 We saw a fertility doctor who diagnosed me with PCOS and tried me on Clomid. I had two blighted ovums during my three rounds on that stuff.

     Then they said it would take IVF treatments, and we couldn't afford it.

  2012 We started going through the adoption process. I met my best friend though a support group.
 2014  still waiting to be placed with a baby, I learn about a book called Woman Code by Alicia Vitti. 
2015 I started following the book and changed my life style. My best friend was placed with a baby and I ended up pregnant  with DS  after three months of following the  book.

  Although I tried to have him naturally, he was turned and ended up having a C-section.

   Got pregnant in July 2017, and on the day of my sonogram (Was also DH's birthday) they found no heartbeat. I ended up having a D&E at a woman's clinic a month later after the pills my OB gave  me failed. I never went back to that OB again.

   I gave my body a break for the holidays and decided to try again for New Years.
   Found out on Valentine's day that I was pregnant during a simple check up. And on March 8th (My mom's birthday)  we got to hear the heart beat.
   And now here we are.

  I do recommend Woman Code and Flo-living (website) to as many women as I can. 
 I also support anyone going through infertility, treatments and adoptions.
