We just went through our 2nd m/c on October 29, 2008. I was 8 1/2 weeks along and had seen u/s pics and a heartbeat. I had a D&C on the 29th. It was devastating. Our first m/c was Oct 31, 2007.

Got a BFP on Sept 26, 2008, after trying for 20 months for Baby #2. Here is our story:

I am 25 years old and am married to the most wonderful man in the world. Our daughter, Savannah turned 4 yrs old on Aug 9, 2008. We have been married for 5 1/2 years and i am a stay at home mom, as well as a part time student. We've been trying for Baby #2 for 20 months now, and went through 5 rounds of Clomid. We got pregnant last Oct, after trying 9 months, and lost it Oct. 31st. It was very difficult, but we're trying to stay positive and look toward the day we see another positive.

After trying so long, i saw my doc and he thought that since my periods have been so weird for the 5 months following the miscarriage, we should check my progesterone level. And following that, my hubby would get tested to make sure his sperm count isn't abnormally low. Turns out my prog level was only 2.6, so they started me on Clomid. After just one month on it, my prog level jumped up to 22.6!!

Turned out hubby's tests were pretty good, although there were enough sperm there to get me pregnant, the number of motile sperm wasn't as high as it could be. So we worked through 5 rounds of Clomid and added Prometrium in Sept. We found out we were pregnant on Sept 26, 2008, and lost it on October 29, 2008. It's been a tough 2 years, but we're working through it and we'll start TTC again in the start of 2009. We're getting some more tests done, including an HSG, and i won't get my period back now for 4-6 weeks, so we'll see what happens.

I also have a line of bead jewelry, including bracelets, earrings, necklaces, watches, and children's bracelets. I hand-make each one. It's kind'a a small business i have on the side, and i just do it out of my home.
