~Welcome~
So a little about my journey so far...I have been with my husband since I was 17 yrs old. I became pregnant when I was 18 yrs old with no medical intervention. I was induced 11 days before my due date because I had developed a mild case of pre - e. Gave birth to my handsome son Ty, 5 lbs 5 oz, June 1999. Then I couldn't get pregnant after that. We tried for 9 yrs. I went through 7 cranky Dr's that didn't want to seem to help or look for a problem. All they would do is say come back when you lose some weight then we will try to get you pregnant. Just one kick in the gut after the other. Until in 2008 I found another Dr and had decided that this would be my final try at this because I was becoming depressed from all these Dr's. I had aways thought they were suppose to help you not kick you when you were down. It was a good thing I tried one more time, I found the best Dr. in the world. Within 2 visits she had me diagnosed with PCOS, and told me " Don't you worry anymore, You'll be pregnant within a year!" My Dr. put me on metformin and within 7 months I was pregnant. Unfortunately my Dr. asked me stop the metformin as soon as I became pregnant. She had forgot to explain to me to wean myself off of the metformin not to quit cold turkey. I hadn't found out I was pregnant until I was already 12 wks. I had a m/c at 14 wks in Oct. 21. A baby boy. We were devastated. We began TTC as soon as my Dr. gave us the O.K. and 6 months later I became pregnant again, but this pregnancy my Dr. agreed to let me stay on metformin for my 1st trimester. I was scared during this whole pregnancy even with every reassuring bit of news I received along the way. I had a wonderful pregnancy and ended up with my beautiful daughter Rio, 8 lbs even, January 2010. Then after trying to conceive for 6 months in April of 2011, 2 days before Easter I got my BFP! Sadly though the pregnancy did not progress and I miscarried May 8th. So we are currently trying to achieve a sticky pregnancy #5 and baby #3. With the help of metformin again. FINGERS CROSSED!!!
