Trying Again: A Journey of Love

Creating a family isn't always easy. We had years of unexplained infertility, went through fertility treatments, had a beautiful daughter, conceived naturally, had an early miscarriage, conceived naturally again, had a second trimester miscarriage, conceived naturally again only to lose the baby at 9 weeks. We moved on to fertility treatments again and got pregnant but miscarried due to a blighted ovum. Pregnant again with fertility treatments and blessed with our rainbow baby boy in May 2012.

I MUST Be Pregnant....Right???

The confusion continues...I took a green handled test this morning first thing when I woke up and got a nice line that seems a bit darker than yesterday mornings test...but still nothing much on the pink handled test...

So, I decided tonight to have my husband pee on a green handled test so that I could see if a line showed up for him...

This made me feel more hopeful. There's just the teeniest hint of something on his test, so hopefully mine mean something good! I decided to take another test tonight to see if it would be darker yet...and it is!!

Seeing this, which looks like an obvious positive to me, I decided to try a pink handled and a First Response (THE test that I trust along with Clearblue Digital)...pink handled test showed nothing...First Response looks like this...

Not much to see there...ugh! Maybe if you look just at the right angles you can maybe sorta see something...nothing reliable, and not what I had hoped for. So, either the green handled tests are super sensitive and the most amazing tests on the market or they are the worst and giving false positives. Hopefully tomorrow I will update with multiple types of positive tests! Keep your fingers crossed!

A Short Summary

Had our first daughter in 2008 after 8 years TTC. Clomid/HCG Trigger shot/IUI. Diagnosis: Irregular ovulation, possible PCOS.
Got pregnant and lost the baby in January 2010, no fertility treatment. Ended quickly as a chemical pregnancy.
Got pregnant the following cycle, in March 2010, no fertility treatment. All seemed to be going well until we got a 1 in 10 chance for Down syndrome with the quad screen. At an ultrasound at 17 weeks, we found out our son had died in utero. We lost him in July 2010, most likely due to confirmed Down syndrome.
Got pregnant again without fertility treatment in September 2010. Things were going well, great betas, strong heartbeat. Then at 9week5days we found out we lost that baby too. After testing, it was confirmed she was a girl with Turners syndrome.
Lots of testing revealed I have PAI-1 4G/4G with normal levels, a blood clotting disorder. Alone it shouldn't cause any problems, but paired with another blood clotting disorder it could be a problem.
Back to my RE and started Clomid, I got pregnant right away in February 2011. Things didn't look good from the beginning, and in April at around 10 weeks I needed a D&C for a blighted ovum.
We got pregnant again on Clomid/HCG Trigger shot, and added our beautiful son to our family in May 2012.
