Background

I'm not new to blogging, I've blogged off and on for about two years now. Now I've decided to start a blog specifically for TTC (trying to conceive). It will take me a little while to get this up and running how I want so bare with me.

Here is a run down of my story.

I met my husband when I was thirteen, I pretty much knew then that he was the one. When I was fifteen I got pregnant for the first time, I had a very early miscarriage on October 31st 2008. I decided to name the baby Feodora Laurent. A little over a year later I got pregnant again, our daughter, Serenity Grace, was stillborn on June 10th 2010. I was sixteen when I got pregnant and was seventeen when she was born. I got pregnant again while seventeen and had another early miscarriage on January 6th 2011, we named the baby Sterling Snow. My husband also has another angel named Devon James, he was lost to a missed miscarriage, they found out October 27th 2004.

I graduated high school June 11th 2011, the day after Serenity's first birthday. I got a tattoo in memory of my angels (this includes my stepson Devon) on June 17th 2011. On July 15th 2011 I married my husband. We didn't start trying right away, I wasn't ready. After I lost Sterling I didn't want to have another baby, I was just so scared to lose another baby. In February we decided to try to have a baby. I was ready to risk loss again in the hopes that we would have our rainbow.

After we started trying, and I started talking to other women who were TTC I realized that I don't have normal cycles. I've never had the regular twenty-eight day cycle, mine have always been somewhere between thirty and sixty days. So I talked to my OBGYN about it and he did blood tests to see if I was ovulating or not, and found that I didn't O that cycle. Right after that cycle ended we moved out of state to be closer to my husband's family. I found a new OBGYN and she told me I have a retroverted uterus, which I had never been told before. The thing I didn't like about her was that she didn't continue checking my Progesterone levels for Ovulation like my previous doctor, but she said that if I didn't get pregnant in a few more months then she would send me to a specialist.

After my last cycle which was one where I did O I realized that when I do O I have a LP of about twenty days so I went in to see her about it. She said that it could be delaying us getting pregnant but didn't really get into detail. My hubby and I told her that my doctor back home had mentioned starting me on clomid so she agreed to give a referral to see the specialist. I scheduled the appointment for this upcoming Saturday at 10:15.

I think, this for the most part, brings you up to date.
