Pregnant after a Loss

Officially moving over....

Hi guys,

I've been lurking for about a week because I just wasn't ready to put it all out there yet.  But we're pregnant again! 

This is my third pregnancy in 13 months and through it all I have been so thankful for both TTCAL and this board.  The TTCAL ladies have been wonderful and such a wealth of support and information.  I consider myself priviledged to have been able to find such a safe haven. 

As for my history, I lost my first baby at 8 weeks and my second at 11 weeks.  They were both missed MC.  I've gone through a slew of testing and they've only found that I'm heterozygous for MTHFR and apparently only being heterozygous shouldn't be that big of a deal.  But as a precaution I am on extra folic acid and a baby aspirin.  

I'm praying, hoping, and praying some more that this one sticks around. 

I got my BFP at only 9DPO, so I've been super scared about a chemical pregnancy.  However, my betas at 14DPO were 101 and at 17DPO were 280.  Progesterone is also looking good. 

A little about me:  I'm 32, married to an amazing and caring man, and a school psychologist by day.  I love to run and generally do outdoor things like hiking and swimming.  I LOVE to travel and eat out.  I generally enjoy cooking.  We have 2 furbabies (11 year old ***-a-poo and a 3 year old Cocker Spaniel) and are really hoping to have 1 human baby soon. 

I hope you guys will let me join in your fun!
