sharing my story!

My husband and I have been TTC since May of this year, we bought a house and were settled so this was the right time for us.  We have a three year old daughter and really wanted to give her a sibling and was hoping that we could conceive quickly so they would not be too far apart in age . We found out we were pregnant in August and we're thrilled!! .  One week after I found out I was pregnant I started spotting.  Doctors just said to let them know if it got heavier.. well it did.. I was six weeks at this point and they did an ultrasound and didn't even see a sac. Blood test confirmed my hcg was dropping.  I bled heavy the day after ultrasound and bled for another four days.. as of 9/14 my hcg was 29.. then on 9/21 it was 2. My doctor said I could try to conceive before a period if I was ready.  I was checking my CM and noticed on 9/28 I had the ewcm and we did the deed that day (but also every other day since the bleeding stopped).  I wasn't 100% sure when I ovulated so I started taking home pregnancy tests on 10/3.. well on 10/4 I got a light positive! I thought I must have ovulated earlier... but the next three days I was getting negative tests. I assumed I was having a chemical.. the last negative test I took was on Friday... I had one more cheapie test left and took it on Monday just so I could be SURE to expect a period... there was a line!! I was so confused. I went to the store and took more tests on Monday and Tuesday and they were all positive. I got a blood test Tuesday and it was positive!! Doc wants another in a week to make sure they are increasing appropriately. Never give up hope!! I was down in the dumps because my sister in law told us she was expecting (unexpectedly) while we were going though the MC.. and I was having a tough time.. I have no idea why I got the positive so early to then go to negatives but we are being very hopeful that we have a sticky bean now! Prayers for all that are TTC!! Never give up hope!
