What is YOUR story? Lets get to know each other.
I know this has been done before, but we have a lot of new ladies here on the forum. I thought it would be a good time to post our stories and let the new ladies know where we are, what our experience is, etc. I think knowing everyones background helps tremendously when deciding what advice we want to follow/trust.
So here's my story, it's long so I will try and make it short, sweet and to the point:
I have 5 kids, one angel baby and have had 2 miscarriages.
DD14: was born via emergency c-section due to oligohydramniosis, breech presentation and intrauterine growth restriction at 40 wks 3 days. She spent 4 days in NICU before coming home.
Missed Miscarriage at 9 wks 5 days-ended up with D &C
DS(would be 9): was born at 37 weeks, stillborn due to a cord accident
DD7: born at 39 weeks, went into labor after my water broke. No drugs, vaginal birth.
DS6: born at 38 weeks -spontaneous labor-he came very quick-had an epidural but didn't have time to take.
Natural miscarriage at 5 weeks
DS2: born on my due date-induced with pitocin to ensure my doc delivered me becuase he's the ONLY doc in my town who will do VBAC-delivered vaginally in 8 hours start to finish
DD7 mos: born vaginally-induced by artificial breaking of water.

hi everyone my name is amy i live in the uk and i'm 31 years old. I'm currently pregnant with baby number 2 i find out what i'm having on the 26th april i can't wait. My littlle girl Emmie Marie was 5 on the 11th april she's my little star. She was born 9 weeks early due to me getting pre-eclampsia she was 3lb 6oz and in intensive care for 6 weeks the most scariest time of my life. my DF was brilliant don't know what i would have done without him. we've been together for nearly 14 years and it's took me a few years to decide to have another baby, pre-eclampsia is a terrifying illness and i thought i was never going to forget the bad time i had. It's still there in the back of my head but i feel totally fine touch wood and everything is going great. I'm so glad i've got all you ladies to talk to it's a great help. xxx
hi ladies my names debbie i have 2 girls aged 7 and 10 and am currently ttc baby 3 with no luck.Last depo shot sept 2009 and last b/c pill 23 april 2010 ttc ever since.Not entirely sure i am ovulating and that my cm is the right one.Trying hard not to put too much pressure on myself but not as easy to do a say.DH getting fed up of bding now i think.xxxx
First off, let me say that this is the best thread ever! It's nice to learn more about all the ladies on here and wow, some amazing stories - makes me realize just how blessed I am. I've been laughing AND crying reading some of y'alls stories.
My name is Angela and I am almost 31 (on April 18). I have been a part of MedHelp since I started my TTC journey in July 2008. That was the last month that I took birth control pills after being on them 6 years.
I have been married to my husband since October 2005 and we then started TTC almost 3 years later. We got a dog in October 2007 and said if we can manage her for a year, then we can try for a baby - well, we still have our dog, Mandy, of course, and in July 2008, almost a year later, I got off the pill.
I got my first BFP 3 cycles later. My first 2 cycles off the pill were completely normal, but the third one was so bizarre! I took pregnancy tests like every 3 days from cycle day 35 and finally got a BFP on cycle day 48. I got a very faint positive with the first response, I believe was what it was and a "pregnant" read out with the digital after it sat for a minute or two and thought about it - I guess it was just barely enough hcg. Then 6 days later, on cycle day 54, I started my period - turned out it was a chemical pregnancy. The blood of course freaked me out at first, but I went to the doctor and they did the blood and urine test - both negative, of course. That was quite emotional for me, but the comfort was that I DID get pregnant, technically, so I knew it WAS possible.
After that, I had 4 more normal cycles in November, December, January and February. My doctor was going to draw my blood during the month of March and do testing on me (not sure what it all entailed) to see if anything was wrong on my end. But, as it turned out, we were going out of town for a week - during my spring break - I was a teacher at the time. So, I couldn't schedule those appointments. I was going to do it the next month, but instead I finally got my BFP! Turned out we had a pretty good vacation - I even conceived on DH's birthday (or within a day or two either way)!! :-) DH actually did his semen analysis 4 days before I got the BFP. He was glad we got pregnant, but not glad he had to give his sample in what apparently was a freezing cold exam room - obviously not good to get him in the mood - haha.
DS 16 months was born on December 10, 2009 a few days past his due date. I was induced and had a pretty standard delivery w/ pitocin and epidural. I did have to get an episiotomy and I must say that part was the worst to recover from. It wasn't anything terrible, but as I am sure a lot of you know, it's no picnic having stitches down yonder - lol.
Well, after he was born, our life got even crazier. In June 2010, my husband got an interview in his home town and then a month later got offered the job so we moved from Texas to Louisiana over the summer with my son who was about 7 months old at the time. We left our house up for sale and moved in with my in-laws until we could sell it and find a place of our own. We sold our house in about a month's time - praise God that it didn't take long! But, it took a few more months - and looking at 60 different houses - to find one that we really liked. So, Christmas eve 2010 was the first night in our new house!
Now, going back in time a bit, I breastfed my son from birth until 10 months old (exactly on his 10 month birthday) when I pretty much dried up and he wasn't interested any more or a combination of the two. Four days after I stopped, I got a big surprise - my period was late and I got a BFP! Now, I had had my period back since June and it was regular each month - June, July, August, and September. October it never came and sure enough we were pregnant with our second baby when DS was only 9 months old! Our plan was to wait until he was a year and then start TTC for number 2, but sometimes, God has other plans for us. I wasn't on any birth control, but was well aware of when I usually got my period, so we tried to plan accordingly when we would have sex - well obviously, October was a slightly different month than normal, so here we are 7 months along with DD and due on June 12. We probably won't have any more children after this, even though I still sort of want one more. DH said if it's between a kid and a dog, we can get another dog - even though he said one dog and two kids is plenty - I'll have to keep y'all posted with that later on down the road. I want another kid AND another dog. :-)
All in all, we really couldn't be any happier - even after all the changes that one short year brings - our first baby, moving to another state, DH's new job, me becoming a SAHM - since moving, buying a new house, and getting pregnant with DD.
I, like some of the other ladies, am most active on MH when I'm pregnant - then get tied up with the baby and don't come back for a while. I hope after DD is born, I'll still have time to be active on here because it really is nice to be able to share my stories and experiences with others and hopefully help them out in some way. It's been great to get to "know" y'all on this thread. :-)

I went to the ER with bleeding and found out I had a tear i was put on bed rest and now all is fine.

Hello my name is Annie. I have been pregnant 6 times have 4 children and one on the way. I have been married 12 years happily he is my true love.
When I was 16 I had a tubal preg had to do a DNC
SON 12 Tyler was a little stinker tried to come out too soon was on bed rest for 4m and had to take a medication every 2 hours so he would stay put was in the ER 4 times to have labor stopped. He finally came out on his due date I woke up in a mess thought I had peed in my bed lol. Was in labor for 11 hours and pushed for 2 hours. His head was too bug and he had the cord around his neck 2 times. After I had him he was in incubator for 4 hours. I hemorrhaged it was bad i passed out they had to give me an IV and after that all was ok. Oh and I did all of this natural no drugs at all.
Daughter 10 Lyndsey I was sick for 5m with her she did not want me to ever eat or smell anything. I wanted lots of ice cream with her. She was supper easy I was in labor for 8 hours at home then went to ER. I was at 6 when I got there and 3 hours later she was born only pushed 3 times. She screamed the first 6m of her life after that has smiled every day. I also had her with no meds.

2 son Kyle it took us along time to have him we had the MC and were trying for 2 years before I got him. When I was one month pregnant I found out I had gall stones and there was nothing the doc could do to help because it would hurt baby. So I went the entire time with the worst pain in the hole wide world some times I thought it was worse than giving birth. I could only eat Oatmeal and rice and chicken that is it anything else and I would die. I did take some meds not allot I walked allot and rode my lawn mower. He was a easy birth as well only 5 hours pushed for about 25 min he came down so fast and hard doc said he hit my bone. He had bruising on his face and his eyes there was a red ring around them the doc said it was from the impact like when you are in a car accident that happens. other than that he was great. Now he has been passing out cents he was 5 months and that we are working on. Sorry so long hope I have helped some of you or will in the future just ask if I can answer I will.

Me and my df are trying to set a date for our wedding he wants something small and I've always dreamed of a big wedding!! Also we would like to have one more child together hopefully a little girl to complete our family I got pregnant unexpected with my boys didn't think it would be any different this time but I guess I was wrong.
Found MH when surfing the web trying to find answer to some question and I've been here ever since, there is some not so nice ladies here but for the most part if you need help and support this is a place you might wanna stick around!!

Ok here I go. My name is Joey. I am 28 and finally a SAHM! I feel a little guilty cause I'm only on the forum while I'm pregnant. I lose myself in my babies after they are born! I have been a member since 2007, I believe, when I only had to my two oldest girls. Hence the screen name.
I was married very young. I found out at 16 and a junior in high school that I was pregnant. I graduated early (worked my a@# off to make it) in May, got married in June, turned 17 on Aug. 16, and had my first baby girl on Aug. 17. She was 7lbs 11oz. 12 hour labor, vaginal delivery, and epidural at last minute. Crazy year!
My husband at the time and I decided after 4 years our daughter needed a sibling. We didn't want her to be an only child so we got pregnant with #2. DD2 was born 07/11/04 8lbs 6 oz. Fast delivery in only 2 hrs! Meconium in lungs and cord around her neck was very scary for the first few minutes but she was fine.
I got divorced after 7 years of hard times. We were young and grew apart (and he was a selfish cheater :) ) I met my current DH and I knew, like many of you, that he was my soul mate. We didn't want to get married tho, because we both had a bad taste in our mouths I guess you could say for marriage. We knew we wanted babies together so we started trying after a couple months of being together. I had two miscarriages in 4 months. Finally, we became pregnant with DS. He was born 07/07/08 8lbs 1oz. Labor was 4 hrs and DH delivered him. It was perfect.
5 months later, I was still breastfeeding, with no cycle, and back to work when we found out we were expecting again. I was high risk this time from SUA (single umbilical artery) DD was born 09/15/09 naturally again delivered by DH. 7 lbs 12 oz. Another quick and beautiful birth.
A month ago, while DH was home (he works out of town 80% of the time) we had a surprise with my IUD after intercouse......2 weeks later we found out we are pregnant again.
We also have custody of DH's son so this means we will have 6 kids!! I'm overwhelmed a little bit but i am definetely excited. I hope I covered the bulk of it.
I love this forum and all the advice and support everyone gives.

Hi all! My name is Melissa (Lem=mel backwards and my middle name anne=enna...lemenna). I am on pregnancy 6 right now with 3 living boys. I am 30 going on 31 years old and my first two pregnancies were with husband #1 (married at 19, divorced at 24 due to him cheating and getting someone else pregnant). The last 4 pregnancies have been with my current husband. I work 2 hours a week in pharmacy and stay at home monday-wednesday.
#1DS Sean 4/22/03 (4 days early) 7lbs 10oz. I had major problems with hypotension and wore a halter monitor for tachycardia. He was born with an apgar of 2, but recovered. My labor with him was 26 hours on, then about 15 hours off. Then I woke up with contractions 5 minutes apart at 5:45am and after 2 hours of pushing and help of first the forceps and then vacume delivered vaginally at 8:38pm. He came out looking sideways and I had a double episiotomy as well as had his cord wrapped between his legs and over his shoulder. He has had surgery for hidden penis syndrome at age 5 months and again for an undescended testicle at nearly 5yo.
#2DS Ty 10/12/04 (9 days early) 7lbs 12 oz. I again had the hypotension problems and was told to sit at work (happened during pregnancy 1 also). Hard to do when we don't have chairs in the pharmacy! I awoke in full labor on 10/11/04 at about 11pm and he was delivered after about an hour or so of pushing at 8:08am. He had meconium in the water and apgar of 4 as well as his cord around his neck twice. Again he was wisked away from me. Again he also had surgery for hidden penis syndrome at about 6-7 months.
#3 was a missed m/c found at our first u/s in my 9th week. I had to have a d&c due to my super high hcg levels. They said it would be at least another 4 weeks before I miscarried. My d&c was performed 4 DAYS before my wedding. Devastating. It was my husband's first.
#4 DS Wyatt 7/15/08 (induced 14 days early) 8lbs 8oz. Pregnancy was horrible. 7 ultrasounds, 2 ambulance rides (once for passing out at work due to BP of 50/40 at 26 weeks), halter monitor, king of hearts monitor, 3 day hospital stay due to kidney infection, the flu and kidney stones (they thought it was appendicitis). I was induced at about 9pm 7/14. My labor was stopped completely at 5:30am by emergency shot due to my diastolic BP getting down to 27 and decelerations of baby's heart. They restarted my labor at about 9-10am and he was delivered vaginally at 4:06pm. His apgar happily was an 8!!! He also had some problems with hidden penis syndrome although his was a different type and is in process of correcting itself and should not need surgery.
#5 found out I was pregnant at 11dpo and miscarried 6 days later. Was only 4w2d pregnant but it had been confirmed by doctor. Miscarried naturally on 12/27/10
#6 Got pregnant on same cycle as my miscarriage!!! I am now 15w5days and will find out the gender on 4/23/11! This is my first pregnancy with morning sickness besides the 1-2 days with the others. I started not keeping anything down at 5 weeks. Still not doing a great job of keeping things down. I have food aversions badly and have lost a lot of weight. I am on zofran and phenergan and now have to take stool softeners all the time as they are constipating.
Okay that was way too long!

He also had some problems with hidden penis syndrome although his was a different type and is in process of correcting itself and should not need surgery.
#5 found out I was pregnant at 11dpo and miscarried 6 days later. Was only 4w2d pregnant but it had been confirmed by doctor. Miscarried naturally on 12/27/10
#6 Got pregnant on same cycle as my miscarriage!!! I am now 15w5days and will find out the gender on 4/23/11! This is my first pregnancy with morning sickness besides the 1-2 days with the others. I started not keeping anything down at 5 weeks. Still not doing a great job of keeping things down. I have food aversions badly and have lost a lot of weight. I am on zofran and phenergan and now have to take stool softeners all the time as they are constipating.
Okay that was way too long!
This is great! I love reading everyone's stories.
My name is Chantal, I am 24, a SAHM and married to my wonderful husband for almost 5 years now and now expecting for the 5th time. I had 2 miscarriages in 2007, one at 5w and one at 10w. I joined MH shortly after my second m/c in Sept. 2007. Just 2 months after our 2nd m/c, we conceived my son who is now 3. His name is Jeremiah and he was 2 weeks early and was 8lbs 4oz and just perfect!
Eight months after my son was born, we conceived again (total surpirse!) and had another boy who is no longer with us. I had a complicated pregnancy, was on bedrest for 2 months, went into labor around 32 weeks and was 4cm, thankfully they stopped it and we made it to 36 weeks. He was 7lbs 2oz and the most beautiful little boy ever. Not long after he was born, we realized he had a rare liver disease called Biliary Atresia. He had a surgery at 8 weeks old that was unsuccessful and so at 6 months old he was put on the transplant list. We did get a call that a liver came in for him, but it was declined because it wasn't perfect for him. Myself, my brother, and my brother-in-law all stepped forward to donate a piece of our liver to him, but I was declined and was only to be used in an emergency. My brother was a PERFECT match for him and was cleared to donate the day after my son passed away. Gosh, that is the hardest part. Jesse Alexander passed away at almost 11 months old due to a blood infection that over took his little body and ultimately caused complete liver failure. He was the light of my life and I would have done anything for him, but God called him home. We had him buried on our 6acre property, so I can visit him whenever I want to. I miss him dearly and he would have been the best big brother ever. He always smiled and kept us all smiling and lauging, even through all his pain. He taught me how to be a better mommy and a better person. <3
I am expecting again (once again a total surprise to us!) and we found out it's a girl!! I am 28 weeks and have been on bedrest since 25 weeks. 2 more months to go until we are in the clear. I am already dilated and effaced, but hoping to make it to June.
I love everyone here on MH and so glad I found this site. Have made so many wonderful friends along the way.

Hello, My name is liz as you might have guessed from my name, I also love coffee but have switched to de-caf.
I have one baby girl who is almost a year and a half. She was a total surprise and didnt find out I was pregnant till 8 weeks. She really wanted to come into this world since she fought against the pill and won. She was my surprise, the best ever! My pregnancy went really well, I worked up to the day I had her......all the way in Germany :) She is really doing awesome overall, although I do have my fingers crossed she will start talking more.
I am ready for another baby and of course since I am now aware of this pregnancy it has been a little stressful and time consuming. I had a M/C on Feb. 28th. Went to the Dr. and everything went fine, my body took care of everything. Two weeks ago took a positive pregnancy test, Dr. though he saw what could have been a sac but two days later no growth and my HCG levels went down by 100. Went back again on monday for more blood draws. Found out my levels are rising again, but slowly. So more then likely I am having a tubal pregnancy. I am about to leave for my next Dr. appointment, where I will hopefully figure out more and determine my options. I figure I will need to not get pregnant for a month and let my body get back to normal and then I have my fingers crossed for a pregnancy shortly after that, with a happier ending :) Amazing how much can happen in a week!
Appreciate everyones help on here when I post questions, helps to easy my thoughts.

I'm Vickie. DH and I have been TTC for 4 years with no luck. 2 years ago doctors told us (after a multitude of tests) that we would never be able to get pg without their help. After a failed IUI we started to believe them. I didn't ovulate and DH had plenty of sperm but the viscosity was too thick.
Fast forward 2 years. Back in January we asked our pastor to pray a healing prayer over DH and I. Then we started planning a big 5 year anniversary trip for this August and decided we are happy without kids and will enjoy being with each other. (Both of us knew deep down that's not what we really wanted though.)
The week of my birthday (March 18) I was really depressed and down on myself, crying because I was about to turn 32 and not have the one thing I've always wanted......a baby. I really thought it was never going to happen. Then a friend talked me into taking a HPT on March 19th. It was a BFP! The BEST birthday present I could ever get! (Baby is due two days before DH's birthday.)
Then it all made sense. Why my period didn't start but I kept spotting. Why my boobs hurt. Why I was so depressed (hormones). Everything just added up!
So at 32 I'm going to be a mommy and couldn't be happier!

I'm Joy! I have three daughters and I have also had two miscarriages. I am currently 17 weeks pregnant and will find out baby's gender in about 2.5 weeks, yay!
First two births were typical epidural hospital births. With my third daughter the doctor was pushing early induction or cesarean (heavy emphasis on cesarean) with no medical reason. I switched to midwives at 37 weeks instead and I haven't looked back. I had my third daughter vaginally and naturally by choice.
I am considering becoming a Childbirth Educator (CBE) and down the road, when my children are older, becoming a doula. I am pro-natural birth and pro-midwife for myself but I ultimately support women in their birth goals and only seek to educate and empower women to make the right choices for them.

Well where do i begin after going through so much. My name is Lisa and im 23 currently living in Anaheim, CA. I came to this site April 2010 after my first mc looking for some answers. Df and i have been together for almost 2 years now and ttc since june 2010. Our first mc was not a planned pregnancy but we were thrilled when we got the news. After already having two successful pregnancy i never thought i would go through a mc. My boys are obviously from a previous relationship but to them df is their dad. Here is a little of my pregnancy history,
ds7: born January 6, 2004 (39w5d) 7lb 10oz 20in vaginal birth induced with pitocin after being in car accident. Natural labor was stopped at 35w6d.
ds4: Born march 8,2007 (33w5d) 5lb 9oz 19in No reason for premature labor but was unable to stop it upon arriving at hospital. He spent 6hrs in level 3 nicu and 31 days in level 2 nicu.
mc1: Missed mc went for us at 9 weeks baby measured 7 with hb. Woke up 3 weeks later bleeding went to er us showed baby measuring 8 weeks no hb. D&C done april 2,2010
MC2: Blighted ovum diagnosed at 9 weeks after 4 us showing nothing but empty sac. D&C on august 20, 2010
We are currently 4w6d pregnant again at 4w4d my hcg was 238 progesterone 6.8. Went for repeat labs today and if hcg has doubled and progesterone is still low i will be starting progesterone supplements. We pray this pregnancy pulls through and we get out bundle of joy in December!!!

My name is Malia and I am 23 years old. I am in college at ASU going for a degree in Interior Design. I live in Scottsdale, Arizona and have for many, MANY years. I am married to the love of my life and we have 2 children (one that is mine and one that is ours).
In January of 2007 I found out that despite taking the morning after pill (the morning after) that I was pregnant. I was only 19 at the time and pretty freaked out. Turns out Plan B is only 80% effective. I spotted a couple times at 6 weeks and went to the hospital to make sure everything was ok. Saw a baby and a heartbeat while I was there and baby was measuring 6w2d. The spotting stopped and so I went for another ultrasound at 9 weeks (on Valentine's Day) to check on the baby and found out that they baby had stopped developing at 6w4d and that I had suffered from a missed miscarriage and would need a D&C. Ended up getting the D&C 2 days later only to find out that while my doctor was operating on me, my sister was giving birth to her daughter Alaysha. I was heartbroken and couldn't even hold my sisters daughter when I went to visit them in the hospital.
April 2007 found out I was pregnant again, 6 weeks after my D&C. I had only had sex 4 times in that month and only one time was unprotected. I never in my life thought that I would get pregnant from that one time but I did. At 5 weeks I started bleeding extremely bad, worse than a period and bright red. I went to the hospital and was told I had a tear behind the sac and a subchorionic hematoma and that with as much blood flow as I was having that I was most likely going to lose the baby. I wasn't put on bed rest and continued to go to work and school. At 10 weeks I randomly just stopped bleeding and baby was fine. At 36 weeks I found out that she was in the breech position and my doctor said that he would give me until 38 weeks for her to turn or then I would need a c-section or an external version to turn her. I wanted to have her vaginally so a c-section was out of the question to me. I researched the version and everything I read on it said it was extremely painful. It wasn't. It lasted a whole 10 minutes of them massaging my tummy and then a non-stress test after to make sure the baby was ok. I got into a car accident the next day after the version and then the following day my water broke. Delivered her 2 days before Christmas. My ex boyfriend doesn't want anything to do with Aspen Marie so my husband is in the process of adopting her. She is now 3 1/2 years old.
Baby #2 was conceived again with no trying. I was on birth control and got bronchitis and no one bothered to tell me you cannot mix antibiotics with birth control. Even though we weren't planning to have more children for a while DH was super excited. I had a relatively pain free pregnancy with her until I went into pre-term labor at 32 weeks I was dilated to 2 cm and 80% effaced. I was made to get the steroid injections and was put on extreme bed rest. I made it until 36 weeks and was released from bed rest. Dilated to 3 cm and 90% effaced but no baby. I went into labor the last day of week 38 and it was so fast that I was literally given the epidural while sitting on her head since I was 10 cm and fully effaced. She is now 6 months old and her name is Navy Autumn.
DH and I are only planning to have one more child and because we both want a boy we are looking into Microsort and the IUI treatment for gender selection. We dont want to do it until Navy is 4 years old though so we still have some time! :)

My name is Laura, and I am 32 years old. (will be 33 in June). My fiance' is 46 y/o. He is an air traffic controller and I am a SAHM (for now). I have been frantically job searching, but I am not currently having any luck. We have our son who just turned 2 in January. His name Jaxson and he is hilarious, stubborn, and amazes every day with his new words &/or actions. My pregnancy was horrible so I do not forsee having any more children. I try to be helpful and have received a lot of help from this forum. I have been a member since I found out I was pregnant.. So, 3+ years.. I don't frequent MH anymore, but I try and stop by once a month minimum just to see what all you lovely ladies are up to. We have moved 6 times since I was 7 months pregnant, and currently live in WI. ;)
My name is Angie, I'm 23 years old. DH and I met in high school and had our first son very young (16 yrs). We have been together for 9 years and married for 5. I have 3 children right now and a little boy on the way. My oldest is Michael, he is 7 years old and makes me smile everyday. He's as smart as they come. He gets A honor roll every 6 weeks at school. He's missing his two front teeth right now which makes me smile at him even harder and he can't figure out why LOl. My DD is Melania, she just turned 4. She is in the Headstart program right now and it's a blessing what they teach the kids so early. She got sent home with a nurse note yesterday for sticking a "bead" up her nose. They called Daddy and told him what happened. My youngest is Mathieu, he just turned 2 in Febuary. He's spoiled (very). When DH and I were ttc and it wasn't happening I guess I held on to the thought he could be my last baby. So I gave in to everything he wanted. Then AF didn't show up in October like she was suppose to and I got my BFP. Now I'm currently pregnant with my little guy that we have decided to name Maxamillian. We haven't chosen a middle name yet. I'm 28 weeks and I turn to MH to get answers and give answers as best I can.
All the ladies here are very nice and supportive. I have never felt judged one time here. I love being a part of MH.

I'm Heather and I am 29 years old. I married my husband when I was 22 after we bought a house and I graduated college. After 5 years of marriage we decided we were at the place to start trying for a family. I stumbbled accorss this site when I stopped taking the pill, got pregnant right away and had a missed misscarriage. I had to have a d&c then concieved my son 3 months later right after I got the docs go ahead.
I had a very rough pregnancy where starting at 29 weeks I would go into labor weekly and have to go to the hospital to get it stopped with a shot. I took meds daily too to keep contractions down, but they would still break through weekly. I was on bedrest from 29 weeks to 36 weeks. My water broke at 38 weeks (a very slow leak I didn't even know) and at that point I was already dialated to 4cm. I got all the way to 10cm very shortly, pushed for 3 hours and my big boy wouldn't come down so after all that work I had to have a csection (I am on the small side and my son was 8lbs 3ozs even 2 weeks early). Been through a lot and like to help others when I can :)
My son is now almost 9 months old, talks, crawls, eats solids, and is starting to pull up on things. I never went back to my job after maternity leave (I was a dedicated career woman before and thought I could be wonder woman/super mom too) I couldn't leave my baby. So, I am a stay at home mom and I am enjoying every second with my little boy... but I do miss the social aspect of work so I hang out on MH when I get a free moment!

Hi, my name is Carly and i'm from Scotland. I'm engaged to a wonderful man, Scott who I love with all my heart. We were best of friends for a long time until we finally told each other about our feelings for one another....here we are later down the road engaged and can't wait to be married.
We were actively TTC, but after a few times of my thinking I was pregnant (but actually wasn't) I found this site in 2010 and haven't left since! My cycles these past few months have been pretty abnormal...spotting randomly a lot etc.
Now we have decided that we are not 'trying' properly just not until we are married, but we are not preventing either...if it happens then great!
I loooove MH and I love answering questions and trying to help everyone on their ttc and it's always the happiest day when you see a lady who has been trying telling her story of how she got her BFP!
You're all fantastic!!!
I love this web

Hey I'M Lindsey, I am 22 years old and have a 2 year old (almost 3) son and I am currently pregnant with baby boy #2 Due in June! I have been a member since 2007 when I found out I was pregnant then a few days later found out I had a miscarriage. I concieved DS the following month! Julian was born June 20th 2008 (The day before my 20th birthday). When Julian was one and a half his father and I divorced due to we got married too young and grew to be two different people with different morals and ways of living. I found my DH now and the first date we had I knew I wanted to marry him! We decided only 2 months after being together we wanted to TTC. I knew from some tests before that I had PCOS and it was difficult to get pregnant so I began taking Clomid and recieving trigger shots. I found out I was pregnant in October and since we were already engaged we went ahead with our families blessing and got married! I could not imagine my life with out him! Colton wil be DHs first baby and we couldnt be more excited!
I have been a co-community leader of this forum since 2008 and am so excited to see all the new ladies on this forum!!!!!

Hi I'm Shannon (as you probably guessed). I just turned 32. I have one 5 1/2 year old son named Reilly Nevar (raven spelt backwards). My fiance is 46. I also have 3 stepkids from his previous marriage. We are trying to conceive baby number 2. I just recently (last month) had a chemical pregnancy (or I believe a very early miscarriage at 4 weeks...heartbreaking), so trying again this month. We've been TTC for almost 10 months now.
I work part time as a sales associate at an eyewear store, and my fiance works full time as a courier. Our son goes to senior kindergarten full day every day.
I've been a member of MH since Jan 2011 when I found out you can track your BBT's while TTC. This has been a very helpful website.
Thanks so much for all your help ladies!

I love reading everyones stories. You guys are part of my extended family and it's great getting to know everyone!!!
My name is Clysta (same as my screen name) and I'm 21. I have been a member here since January 2010, when I first found out I was pregnant. I moved in with my husband, Phil, in 2009 and found out 8 months later we were expecting. It was a "don't try, don't prevent" method. I was married September 23rd, 2010 and hope to spend the rest of my life with him.
My pregnancy was rough. I was diagnosed with Hyperemesis and was ill everyday. I couldn't walk into the house without vomiting at times, and each day was spent with me willing myself not to be sick at the mere thought or mention of food. My baby girl was born September 8th, at 39 weeks. It was a vaginal (medicated) birth, and she weighed in at 6 pounds 12 ounces, and was gorgeous. She's 7 months now, and still my little hairless wonder. She is her daddy's twin, but got my blue eyes. She started sitting unsupported at 4 months, rolled at 5 months, smiled at me at 5 days old and she's super close to crawling. I figure in another month she'll have it down. (or sooner!) She already pushes herself all over the house, but goes backwards. We've been EBF since birth, but that might have to end sooner than I hope due to a few medical issues. Hopefully they resolve themselves soon. I'm a SAHM currently, and try to answer questions and help members the best that I can.
