As you know from the title of this site, I am the proud mama of three beautiful, healthy children. For almost a decade, I only had one child. Sometimes people take for granted the ability to have kids. I can tell you from personal experience, it's not always as easy as it sounds. It took my husband and I four years and four devastating miscarriages to have our babies. There was a lot of heartache and disappointment along the way, but we're finally been blessed with the family we've always dreamed of. Here's my story and the struggles we went through when building our family. I got married far too young to my ex-husband, and that marriage was an absolute horror. During that marriage, I welcomed my 12 year old into the world. I later found the courage to end my abusive marriage, and have since remarried a wonderful man. My husband not only treats me like gold, he loves my son as his own. He never says "step-son" when talking about Kyle. He simply calls him his son. It takes a real man to be able to accept a child as his own that isn't biologically tied to him. I have a man like that, and I thank God everyday for him. We had a loving, happy family. The next step? Giving my son siblings to grow up with. He never wanted to be an only child, and I finally had a man in my life who deserved to be a father. When my husband and I decided to try to expand our family several years ago, we had no idea what a rough and bumpy road we would encounter. We were doing everything we needed to do to make a baby...and we were doing it regularly. We both took various supplements, altered our diets, and month after month, nothing happened. It seemed that conceiving wouldn't be as effortless as we had hoped. During this time, we suffered from 4 miscarriages and month after month of negative test results. And to add insult to injury, it seemed that everyone around me was getting pregnant. It was literally one of the darkest periods in my life. I wanted nothing more than to give my husband children of his own, and I felt like a failure as a woman when month after month, we experienced disappointment or loss. Finally, after a diagnosis of Secondary Infertility, we were able to conceive our daughter, Sophie. Shortly after she was born, we got the shock of a lifetime when we found out we had another baby on the way. While the road was hard, long, and full of heartache, our family is now complete. Trying to conceive can be a lot trickier than one would anticipate. There are a lot of factors that need to be considered. Diet, age, physical fitness, and stress level are just a few of the things that need to be examined. A healthy lifestyle is essential when trying to conceive and can definitely up the odds for a successful pregnancy.

I have, and have not. My first pregnancy ended very quickly after being told I was pregnant. Tubal. My second was a one time thing that literally happened because it was my son was suppose to come into this world, he was ment to be. My third pregnancy was a second trimester missed-miscarriage. :( Followed by finding out I have thyroid issue which took an additional 2 and a half years of trying to finally become pregnant. I am happy to have my beautiful little girl after that long wait. Bless your heart with all of your miscarriages. Life is hard but I think most of us know that it really only gives us what we need, not what we want.

My husband and I had a miscarriage in '09 and have been TTC ever since. I have a few different issues.... Crooked Cervix, Heart Shaped Uterus, Thin Uterus, RH-, irregular periods causing ovulation problems. Its heartbreaking. We tried Chlomid for months with no luck and a few others and have sadly not conceived yet.
