Timeline

I started charting Creighton in Nov. 2009.   I charted for the full six months as my Creighton teacher recommended before trying to achieve a pregnancy.  I achieved my first pregnancy in July 2009 only to end in miscarriage at 14 weeks.  I had to have a D&C.  My teacher recommended that we wait a couple of months before TTC again and to even think about getting a Napro consult with Dr. Hilgers.  I ended up working with a regional Napro Dr. long distance.  This Dr. was wonderful in helping me figure out some of my issues.  It was determined that I have low estrogen and low progesterone, so he started me on HCG injections.  I took the HCG injections on P+ 3,5,7,9 for two months and achieved the pregnancy on the first cycle we were allowed to TTC.  I also have been on PIO injections from the very beginning of this pregnancy.  The institute is monitoring my pregnancy currently. I have so much faith in Creighton and I realize these are probably not all of my issues.  I am amazed at the work of Dr. Hilgers, the institute and his staff!  They really are amazing!  This includes the wonderful Napro Dr. that I worked with locally.  I am so thankful for the person that introduced me to Creighton!

Breaking the News!

DH and I are very excited to announce that we are pregnant again after suffering a miscarriage in 2010.  I am a little over 13 weeks!  I have really hesitated on posting this news as I know the pain of TTC and then also losing a baby.  I have been reading a lot of the Catholic IF blogs for awhile now and I didn't want to upset anyone with this news.  I have been praying for the women on the Catholic IF blogs who are TTC, have suffered a miscarriage, have a had a baby and who are trying to adopt.  You ladies are in my thoughts and prayers everyday.  I will post what steps we took through Creighton and Naprotechnology to achieve this pregnancy.  Please pray for me, DH and our baby.
