Lots of catching up to do!

Well, I was going to delete this blog and start a new one, but I've decided to add to this one in order to remember where we came from. The last post was made Oct. 5 I believe....and it was mostly about seeing a fertility specialist and the frustrations I was feeling with the whole process. Wellllll, little did I know, I was actually pregnant! We found out Oct. 14th that I was pregnant! It was a complete shock! We did several weeks of follow-up with Tulsa Fertility Clinic to make sure this pregnancy was progressing normally and we were thrilled to see that everything looked perfect!

We already had our follow-up appointment with TFC scheduled for Oct. 26th, but we saw our regular OB/GYN until then. It turns out that Dr. Prough w/TFC found out several things that contributed to the 4 miscarriages that we had in 2.5 years of trying. I have endometriosis, PCOS, an insulin resistance, MTHFR, and a phospholipidantibody syndrome. Whew! What a list! The endo and PCOS caused the long process and the other things contributed to my body miscarrying. I immediately began a daily regimen of Progesterone, baby aspirin, 3 folic acid pills, 2 prenatals, and Metformin. We are so incredibly blessed to finally be where we are today! We are expecting our little miracle around June 24, 2010!

I will write some follow-up posts to share how we told family and work, appointments, and weekly updates....I don't want to overwhelm my invisible readers all at once! ha!

Here is our 2nd ultrasoun picture...we had one done at 5 weeks and saw a little "blip" as Jeff called it, but we were able to hear the incredible sound of a heartbeat! I'll upload that one too if I can find it! This picture is from 7 weeks 2 days....God's work truly is amazing!
