My husband was my love at first sight. Our connection was very instant. We said "I love you" after a very short time of dating and talked about marriage. We did wait until our one year anniversary to get engaged and married on December 22, 2007. We were both 22 when we got married. If we had been older when we met, I know we would have been that crazy couple that gets married after only a month of dating. hehehe.
The day I got married, my parents' insurance kicked me out. I decided not to go back on birth control since of the period of time we didn't have health insurance. We had unprotected sex for almost a year w/o getting pg. In November of '08, I commented to my husband how weird it was that I hadn't gotten pg after almost a year of unprotected sex. Later that month, November 25 (2 days before my birthday) I felt a little weird/off, so I took a hpt on a whim and it was a positive
My husband was over the moon. As a child, when asked what he wanted to be when he grew up, he'd day "a dad", if that tells you anything. We told my parents and his the next day, as well as super close family and friends, but decided it best to wait to announce the news to everyone until after we saw the baby and knew everything was okay. My mother had seven m/c before she had me, so I was spooked. After we saw the baby and the heartbeat, we decided to let the world know about what was going on! Everything was going great. I had had no problems and no spotting. A few weeks later, when I got back from the gym, I had the smallest amount of spotting. I thought it was probably nothing and maybe I had pushed too hard at the gym. Later, I had a horrible acid reflux attack or maybe I have a stomach ulcer (never did get that figured out) and the extreme pain last for hours. Finally, I decided to go to the hospital b/c I couldn't take the pain. I almost didn't mention the tiny spotting I had earlier in the day, but I thought it best to say. When the doctor was touching my stomach to see where the pain was, he felt around my uterus and it was very tender. Things progressed quickly after that... they did an exam, bloodwork, and an internal u/s. Bad news. They immediately admitted me to the hospital and I had the D&C within hours.
It was so hard, and I felt like somehow I let my husband and my family down. I finally feel stable emotionally and I really want to give my husband the baby he and I so desperately want.
Anyways, sorry that was long and sorry I don't post much. I am on the computer most of the day at work typing and such, so I don't like to be on the computer at home. I wish you all the best, and I am really rooting for all of you/us to have BFPs very soon.
