Thankful to have a BFP

Hello!!  I've been an on-again/off-again visitor to this board.  One of my last posts was probably about a MC we had in May 2011.  I'm happy to say this post is about me being pregnant again!  We are due early July.

I am so thankful I am pregnant.  I'm still not super excited because I am fearful of having another MC. However, I do expect to get more excited once I have the appointments where the heartbeat can be heard.  I had an U/S last week and the baby was doing great so there is no cause for concern...yet the worry is still there. :/

Anyways, just wanted to pop in and share my good news!

Met him 12/2001 in NJ;  He moved from NJ to WA 05/2002;  Married 06/2006;  Attempt #1 2008 with Clomid and metformin, no luck.  Decided to go back on BCP;  LapBand 09/2009 at 371.1 lbs.  Got down to 268 by 2012;  Went off BCP 08/2010.  Started Metformin;  BFP 05/01/2011 followed by MC 05/13/2011 (Friday the 13th of all days!). Upped Metformin 09/2011;  Continued on Metformin.  On 10/28/2012 (3 days before semen analysis), had BFP :)  Due date 07/07/13 by size of baby but 6/30/13 by LMP.  Taken off Metformin at 8 weeks due to elevated liver levels.

Congrats!  I know it's extremely difficult to not have that nagging worry about miscarriage.  I had a miscarriage, had my son, and I'm now 8 weeks.  I'm just getting through week by week while hoping and praying for the best.  I think I've read that after 12 or 13 weeks the chance of miscarriage drops to something around 3%, which is extremely low.  Keep your head up, you're pretty much past the scary stage.

Congrats!! I can relate--I've had 2 miscarriages one right before ds who is 12 now! And one just before this pregnancy--but I'm now 24 weeks!

Congrats on your BFP! 

 

I know what you are saying girl. I had a miscarriage before this pregnancy and during this pregnancy have stayed nervous. Now I am experiencing the most excitement and anxiety wrapped into one. It will get easier. Try to take it easy

Pardon my ignorance - but what is BFP?
