Hi everyone! I hope you don't mind if I join you all. I can't believe I finally get to write this post and take this huge step.
Here's my short version of my story. DH and I have been trying to start our family since 2009. After a year and with the assistance of Clomid, we finally conceived our twins, Hannah and Liam. Unfortunately, that pregnancy was riddled with complications and at just over 13 weeks I went into pre-term labor due to a suspected clotting issue and partial placental abruption. I delivered our twins in the ER, hemorrhaged and ended up having an emergency D&C. 8 weeks later we were given the all clear to try again. We conceived again on that first cycle, but we ended up losing that LO as well. At that point I moved on to an RE and was diagnosed with PCOS, as well as a suspected clotting disorder. The RE began treatment and two cycles later, we conceived our son.
I had a relatively easy pregnancy until 32 weeks when I started having PTL again. I was on bed rest until 36 weeks. I got released from bed rest until a week later when my BP spiked and I was put back on bed rest for the duration of my pregnancy. Due to the BP and the fact that it looked like we were going to have a really big baby, I had a primary C section on Friday, 1/13/12. Everything went perfectly and we got the very best anniversary gift we could imagine (our 10 year dating/7 year wedding anniversary was on 1/14). Here's the link to my birth story and PIPs if you are interested:

I'm so excited to see all of my buddies from PGAL and to get to know all of the other PAL ladies. ![]()

Congrats and welcome to the board!
Don't be discouraged if you are slow to get a response from everyone. We are still in the middle of the shock of SockMonkeySam's loss. As you can see most of the posts are directed to her.
Looking forward to getting to know you.
