Hola ....Hiya....Hello


First of all, this may be a bit late into my infertility journey. But as I adere to the better late then never adage....here we go. My name is Heather, and I am an unexplained infertile. To which you say..."Hi Heather". Long story short, I have two lovely children with my husband of ten years, however after my son was born 9 weeks premature and very sick, at the wise age of 22 I was sterilized. Now before you react badly "down with the previously fertile and not truly infertile woman".....there is far more to this story. I had my tubes reattatched in June of 2008...and amazingly enough found out I was pregnant very quickly on Nov. 7th...only to loose that baby on Dec. 1st...Again we revisist a lovely BFP (big fat positive) beta hell commences...In March...gone...May...Gone.....Diagnostic Laproscopy..D&C.....BFP!!!...Gone. This past month we tried Clomid to increase the power of my ovulation....Ovridel to make sure that said super O happens..and lovely Progesterone supplementation in the form of Crinone...BFP!!...and so far holding.....In one week and ultrasound to find the gestational sac...and another week a heartbeat. Four miscarriages and two years of trying added with a medical backround and OCD...= many innane answers to questions too weird to ask. I am starting this blog to not only chronicle my journey...but to help someone find the voice I found far too late... because I asked the doctor far too quietly in the beginning to research what was causing my m/c's I specifically asked for the one test that came up wrong. Progesterone! Mine was 3.1 at 7 dpo...on a PREGNANT cycle...oi....now I am on Progesterone and my doubling time went from 36 hours to 27!! Which it never did before....No bleeding or spotting...this baby is sticking around darn it!! But I want to try to at least daily bits on what I have learned about this journey that too many of us dont know its too late.....or we're stuck in this wicked ttc cycle
