WELCOME

Thanks for stopping by! Here I wrote openly about my life as a mommy to our miracle daughter Lilly, the struggles we went through on this journey to parenthood, the loss of our precious son and pretty much anything else that comes up. Feel free to look around, leave a comment or two, put your feet up and get comfortable :)

xo, Anne.

Our Journey

I figured I would make a short version to our journey to having a baby, things are broken down very simply so anyone who comes across our blog can have a better idea of timing and how our journey has gone.


10.2008 - lost our precious son, placental abruption at 40 weeks & one day.
02.2010 - husband & I feel ready to try again.
03.2010 - we're pregnant! excited, nervous and so ready!
03.2010 - a week of bleeding, appointment & ultrasound confirm ectopic pregnancy
05.2010 - told to wait 3 regular cycles before trying again, so we wait.
06.2010 - period came, ecstatic as we wait for the next two cycles to be regular
07.2010 to 04.2011 - mid cycle bleeding turned missing periods cause me to investigate
                 & family Dr suspects PCOS, further referring me back to my OB.
06.2011 - HSG procedure, everything looks great! My fallopean tubes are perfect!
07.2011 - progesterone pills to induce period, start Clomid 50mg days 3-7
07.2011 - bloodwork reveals I do NOT have PCOS despite earlier suspicions (yay)
08.2011 - second round on Clomid, not pregnant but ovulation did occur which is good
09.2011 - third round on Clomid, still not pregnant :(

02.2012 - another regular cycle, wisdom teeth surgery so no trying this cycle.
03.2012 - mid cycle spotting & period is two weeks late, this can't be happening again?!
06.2012 - booked a follow up with my OB - he's going to think I'm nuts :(
07.2012 - finally a period, only four months late!
