15 Week Pregnancy Update!

How has it been 15 weeks already?!

         I always have the best intention to do a Weekly Update/Youtube Update....maybe today will be the day that starts!  There have definitely been some downers so far with this pregnancy, but I will limit that information to try to keep this as upbeat as possible! If you are curious what the downers have been, definitely comment or message me and we can talk about it! I want this to be informative as well as to help others who are going through the same thing!

        Symptoms from Week 1- Week 15 (these are not seperated by the weeks, just an overall list):
                         Nausea, Vommiting, Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG), Headaches, Cramping, Cramping, and more Cramping, difficulty staying asleep, frequent urination, and several infections.

 Baby's heartbeat has consistently been in the 160's.   My gut instinct says girl. At an overall view of Wives tales, majority point to girl. If Isosceles is a boy , I will have to do a lot of apologizing for all the girl clothes 🙂.   We've been sent to the ER twice due to the HG.


Today is the first time I've been able to hear the baby's heartbeat on the at-home fetal doppler!

My next appointment is May 9th.

Stay tuned for future updates! :)

Where have we been?

November 30th, 2017 Hello and thank you for stopping in to check out our blog!  While talking to Tim earlier today, he asked why I have not kept up with my weekly Youtube videos or blog and I could not give him a reason other than thinking that no one cares to read these or follow our journey. He made a great point replying that its not about who cares or who reads it, but for me to use it as a source of "venting". So here I am, to give some updates, to "vent" and get back on this blogging saddle :) -Brooke Updates on Tim: Tim has been doing a wonderful job getting back to his regular self. He has visited a neurologist after his amnesia episode. The neurologist verified that Tim did indeed have Transient Global Amnesia and also has likely been having Partial Focal Seizures for most of his life, and that a medication he was on likely lowered the seizure threshold. He's been doing great and I am so proud of him. Infertility Update: I finally decided to re

Infertility RECAP & Update 1/2 March 2018

In 2015 Tim and I began our journey of trying to conceive. After some time we realized that the Testosterone that Tim was taking had completely diminished his sperm count. After stopping his Testosterone Tim's count then went to a "normal" range. After the count was in normal range for quite some time, and still not conceiving, we decided it was time for me to get checked out as well. At this time we found out I had PCOS ( Poly-cystic Ovarian Syndrome). My irregular periods were a result of having PCOS which made it difficult not only to get pregnant but even to track ovulation. I was given my first round of Clomid, 50mg to assist in regulating my cycle and force ovulation to occur. On cycle day 21 I had my bloodwork done to check if ovulation had occured. My progesterone was less than 1. Typically after ovulation your progesterone should be at least above 10. The OBGYN  then decided to bump my Clomid up to 100mg for my next cycle. After taking Clomid on cycle days 3
