Pregnancy
Hey Everyone,
So I just wanted to post about infertility and there being hope at the end of the tunnel.
So, for the last two years, we've been struggling to keep a pregnancy. My first pregnancy since having my son was in March of last year. I didn't go past five weeks before I miscarried. I then had another pregnancy three months later, but I also miscarried before five weeks. I then had a chemical pregnancy in October. Another chemical in December. And then another chemical this last March. So a total of five overall miscarriages. We then went in for testing.
The tests revealed it wasn't my PCOS causing the issues. It was in fact that I was a chromosomal abnormality carrier. Which means my miscarriages where stopping me from having children with disabilities. I'm grateful for that in a way but it still feels strange to think that is why it was so hard for our second baby.
A month later we're pregnant again. I'm almost six weeks, and my HCG is going up and doing well sitting at 966 as of yesterday's blood test. I'm super excited, but it also feels bitter sweet a little bit. I think about the pregnancies I've lost. Part of me feels scared but the other is hopeful. Anyway, wish me luck with a sticky second baby.
Fingers crossed for a sticky bean and congrats
