About Me

My husband and I had been TTC since Feb 2013 (once I got off birth control) and it took us 7 months for the first BFP! But just a week later I had a miscarriage... I was devastated, I knew nothing about all this. So, before we TTC again, I wanted to make sure I was healthy as possible and decided to see an internal medicine/diagnostic doctor. I found out that not 1 or 2 issues could have cause a MC, but I had 6 things going on - I have hypothyroidism, the MTHFR gene, I was anemic and my iron, Vit D and folic acid were all dangerously low. I also had 2 viruses and a few other little things. I knew I was tired all the time and hadn't been able to lose weight for years, but I never imagined so many issues! So it took me 7 months to get well and almost everything is back to normal now and my doctors told me we could TTC again. So we started in June 2014 and were successful on the first try! :) Tomorrow I will be 6 weeks along and have my first ultrasound on July 23rd, very excited!

My Birth Plan

I'm not sure yet. It's so early on. I need to research all the possibilities. I'm really comfortable in water, so I always thought maybe I'd do a water birth. But I need to research that more as well.
