Testing Again Just To Make Sure!!

I have been feeling so sick more than I have with any of my other pregnancies. 

After getting my first Big Fat Positive at 7 days past ovulation I was in true shock. 

Today after making it through hosting Thanksgiving for my in laws for the very first time ever. Up until a few days ago we have never spent any time with my in laws ever on a holiday. 

It was very stressful and they have no idea I am pregnant right now which was so hard for me. I couldn't explain why I kept for getting everything. Why I felt so sick, why I didn't eat anything hardly and why I could not stand the sight of the turkey. 

Here I am the day after Thanksgiving taking another pregnancy test. 

Praying for a darker test as in my past miscarriages I have not gotten the dark lines that I should have. 

I know my digital test would come out negative but to my surprise it was NOT! 

10 days past ovulation!

I couldn't say anything at all, I couldn't breathe or think I just sat there shocked. 

With in 1 minute of taking both test this popped up!

With every pregnancy I have ever had, I have taken a test the earliest on 10 days past ovulation and only once did I get a positive test and that was hardly even able to be seen. it was a totally " squinter "  Yet here I am at 10 dpo and I get these. 

WOW just WOW that is all I could think. 

Maybe just maybe this time this baby will stick. 

Pregnancy after Many losses!

     

" Going down the same ol' road, the one that I already know "

That is how I am feeling right now. It has been a very long and difficult but exciting day. 

For those who don't know here is a little catch up for you. 

This year my husband and I have miscarried 2 times. 

Both pretty early losses but still they were heart breaking none the less. 

June 2015 and September 2015 were both really hard months for our whole family. 

Today however we start down the road we have traveled before. 

A few days ago we found out we are pregnant again. 

After not really trying I thought that when I took a test it would be negative with out a doubt. 

Yet here we are at 7dpo and I got my first BFP and it was such a shock. 

I tested only because I have been feeling sick and felt some cramps a few days ago so I figure I would test and it would be negative. 

I have NEVER gotten a positive at 7 days past ovulation. 

Telling my husband was the hardest thing I have ever done thus far. 

Then he walked into the bathroom and had seen the test and how dark the line was and he was a believer for sure!

So here we go down this road again praying for a healthy and happy baby come

August 2016! 

Threatened Miscarriage .... a newly pregnant woman's fears come to light

      

        I never thought I would hear those words .... not in a million years. I never knew that it was even a " thing " that could happen. 

       Saturday September 5th 2015 I found myself sitting in the waiting room of an ER. Wishing and praying that they would make it all better. My little family was taking a trip to a theme park in Kansas City. Just something fun for us to do all together even though we had just found out that we are expecting another little one. Thus I would not be riding any rides I was only along for the ride and the food. lol  

      My husband so sweetly decided we would go out to lunch after they had road all the rides at the theme park. Sadly that is when everything went oh so very wrong for the baby and I at least. I went into the restroom after feeling slight cramps all day. What I found was honestly one of the times I could feel all my fears coming to life. I found that I was in fact bleeding, not a lot of blood and not bright red blood but enough to scare me. I told my husband and we decided to make a trip to the ER to check on our little one. As we do not yet have a Doctor. 

      After what seemed like forever after we had been taken to the back. All of the test were run and we were waiting on one last thing to finish the work up. An ultrasound to be done so we could " see " our little one. Knowing that we would not be able to see our little one because it was way too early. I was only 3 weeks and 6 days. What we found out was NOT what we thought we would hear. I felt like maybe I was going through a miscarriage again. Maybe if I was lucky the baby would be okay but I honestly did not think that was going to be how it ended. 

     By the grace of God we found out that even though we couldn't see the baby. That I was in fact pregnant however my Hcg levels were very low for how far I was. That lucky for me the bleeding had stopped however they did not know what was going on. They could not tell me if I was in fact losing my baby or not. 
All they could tell me is that I had what they called a " Threatened Miscarriage ." Which is pretty much my body telling me either to slow down or that I am about to lose my baby. 

     They gave me a list of things to do and not to do however I just. I don't understand what happens honestly I just know that in the end I will be spending my days waiting and praying for a blessing. I know that the doctor told me to come back if I can't get into the OBGYN that they are sending me to. That in 3 days I have to have a repeat blood screening done and ultra sound done to see if I lose my baby or not. That if the pain gets worse or the bleeding comes back that I need to go to the ER. 

    Then they sent me on my way and that was it. I just had to go home, try not to stress and wait to see what God has planned. I do not know how to wait. I have never been good at the waiting game so I have been trying to spend my time sleeping and watching tv. Thank God my husband is home for a few days to spend time with me so he is here to help. Deal with the kids and all of the house work. Lucky for him I keep a pretty clean house so there is not much to do but feed the kids and dog. Which for him means that he gets to order food and his problem is solved. 

     .... What I want all of you amazing ladies to know right now is that. I understand what you are going through. I am here for you through every day no matter what you are going through. I have been through a lot in my life time but I know that my baby's life is in Gods hands right now. I know that I will live a stress free life, that I will sit down as much as I can through out the day and I relax and enjoy every day that I have with my little baby every second of every day. 

       The thing that the Doctors don't tell us is that many females go through this. Many females have " Threatened Miscarriages " and they go on to have healthy happy pregnancies. Just because your body is freaking out does not mean that you have to give up on your baby. It means that with some luck every thing will be okay. However if it does not go as planned it is not your fault and there is nothing you could have done differently in order to say your baby. Please don't blame your self , I know I am not the first to say this and I will not be the last. However I know because I know I feel like I am to blame for this on my own life. I just have to keep telling myself that I didn't do this. That I couldn't have stopped it no matter what I did and now comes the awful part of waiting. 

                                                  Be Strong Ladies!

( P.S my hcg levels were 22 at 3 weeks 6 days )
