Little background on me. At the age of 18, I had my first M/C. I was on BCP's at the time, and only missed 1 pill. So I figured it would be easy to get pregnant again. I wanted a child so bad. I totally stopped taking BCP's. I married my ex husband at the age of 22. In those 4 years of no contraception, I never got a sticky BFP.
Fast forward to April 2005. I left my ex-husband and got back on BCP's. In July 2005 I met my current DH. A few months after we were together we decided to try for a child. I stopped taking the BCP's in Sept 2005.
January 2006 I had a chemical and in May I had a M/C.
March 2007 I had another chemical, and again in November.
April 2008- yet another chemical.
Things weren't looking good for us having a child naturally, so we decided to take a break. We weren't actively TTC, but we weren't preventing either. We were just going with the flow. We accepted our fate and in August 2008 we took in foster children. That month I bought OPK's just to try them out. I noticed that I O late in my cycle. I O'd on CD17 of a 28 day cycle. That month took a test and it was a BFN. I was a little bummed, but I knew that someday it would happen for me. I didn't test again for O.
September 2008- I tested 12dpo and it was -. So I counted myself out for the month. AF never showed. On the night of 16dpo, I went to an orchestra concert. Ate some pizza, and it turned my stomach. When I was clapping for my cousin, I noticed my bbs were really sensitive. My grandmother suggested that I take another test. So when DH got home from work around midnight, I explained to him that AF hasn't showed, but I took a test and it was - a few days prior. So he sent me on my way to Wal-Mart nad I bought some tests. As soon as I got home, I went straight to the bathroom to test.
I couldn't believe my eyes. It was a faint +. I had DH check and make sure it wasn't just a fluke.
The next morning (6 hours later), I took another test. This time it came out quicker and darker. The beautiful BFP. We got dressed and headed to a clinic to verify.
When we got to the clinic, and they gave me another POAS. The nurse came back and told me it was negative. I cried so hard! I begged her to go look at the test again. I showed her the HPT's I had taken. She went back, and 5 minutes later she congratulated me, and gave me proof of pregnancy. I was in awe!
Ihad my first midwife visit November 7th. 10w1d pregnant. We saw our precious miracle on the screen. She was wiggling away! We heard her HB on November 21st. It was the most beautiful thing I ever heard in my life!
I knew then, that she was going to be okay. I made it past the scary 1st trimester. After that, I wasn't so scared. I knew if I made it that far I was going to go all the way.
Kailee Cecelia was born May 31, 2009. I was 39w2d. She weighed 5lbs. 1oz and was 18 inches long.
We finally had some answers as to why it took us so long to conceive. I have a perfect heart shaped uterus. DH and I believe that our child was concieved out of love, and was grown with love.
I am very blessed to have my daughter in my life. She is all I ever asked for. She is truly my my miracle baby.
