My profile

My name is Erin Townsend. I am from Kentucky. I am married to an amazing husband that takes great care of me and our beautiful boys. We just bought a new home closer to my husbands work with land and a pond. A great place to raise our children. I am a stay at home mom. I love what I do, but I will say that I never realized how HARD it is to be a mom. I would never change it for anything, its been my life long dream to be a mom and raise children. We have 2 boys named Brentlee Elijah William Townsend & Liam Kaydyn Townsend. They are our pride and joy. We are wanting to have one more baby, and plan to start trying again in May 2010. We are truly blessed to have our wonderful boys!!!

Well here is my story on m/c's. I have been pregnant 5 times and I have only one biological child. Well after 2 1/2 years of trying I finally got pregnant in October 05'. My first m/c (10 weeks)they blamed it on me havng a uterine septum. I was unaware of this uterine septum until after my second m/c in July 06 (8 weeks) when I then started to seek help. I then found out that I have PCOS which was causing me to not ovulate. Well I lost 90 lbs and my cycles regulated. Then in Jan 07' I had a surgery to reconstruct my uterus. Then gave it time to heal. In July 07 I had an IUI done, it failed, then again in Aug 07, which suceeded for me to m/c again (6 weeks). At this point we gave up. We adopted our oldest son in Dec 07 from birth. We have had him since day one, which is a super blessing. Then in Dec 08 I fell pregnant again, and yet once again I lost that baby (8 weeks), but found an amazing doc that found the problem because I did lose that baby. I have LPD and I do not produce progesterone at all. So everytime I got pregnant I lost the baby due to no/low progesterone. Well low and behold I got pregnant the next month and had to take a little yellow pill called prometerium for 12 weeks, and I just gave birth to a beautiful baby boy in Oct 09'. And yes, we are now trying for another, :) We have 2 boys now, and we are going to try for that girl! And if its another boy, thats ok too, I will just start me a basketball team!!! :) To all those ladies going through hell and that feels like it will never happen, never lose hope... we almost did, then here we are with 2 boys. And we would have never got my oldest if we didnt go through what we did!
