Hi everyone. I was wondering if I may join you over here?
Yesterday marked 7 months since we lost our son at 20 weeks. I started lurking on TTCAL about a week later and have been an active poster for just over six months now.
I'm 41 and DH is 42. I went through IVF with my first husband which resulted in a BFN and a diagnosis of "get a dog" because you can't get pg. Said dog is in my sig. DH and I have were married in July 2011 and got a very surprising BFP the following June. After having the most boring pg ever, I went into PTL a week after our anatomy scan. The PTL was blamed on a placental abruption. We were cleared to TTC after one cycle and got a BFP two cycles after that. That ended in a CP that basically let us know that I actually could get pg again. That loss was followed by another BFP, wonky-beta hell and a loss at 9 weeks.
I have an amazing OB, MFM, and RE who are all trying to work on a plan going forward. I started RPL testing yesterday and am waiting for the results. I'm on CD1 and will have more testing done this week (as soon as I call the RE's nurse) and an HSG next week.
On the non-TTCAL side: I graduate from law school on 5/18 and am taking the Bar in AZ in July. DH and I will be relocating to TN in September due to his job and I will take the TN Bar in February. Apparently, I am a gluten for punishment.
Thank you for reading this and I come with goodies:
Re: Hello, may I join you?
Totally butting in just to say GL on the Bar! I graduated from law school in AZ and took the AZ Bar as well. Unfortunately, I still live here. :P
Thank you! I'm a little bit nervous about moving out of AZ right after graduation. My network in TN is zero.
