TTC After a Loss

Introduction!

edited August 2013 in TTC After a Loss
Hey Everyone : ) 

This is my first time ever being a part of an online community~  I'm a bit nervous but excited to both give and receive support from you awesome people! My story is that my husband and I have been married for 5 years.  We got pregnant this past January for the first time and sadly it was a blighted ovum.  I had to get a D&C twice because the first one wasn't successful in clearing everything out.  It was a terrible experience but I'm doing much better now.  My husband and I are now hardcore TTC.  I personally have a few complications to overcome.  I have been diagnosed with PCOS and was told without fertility treatment or clomid I wouldn't be able to conceive.  It was a miracle that I conceived naturally the first time  and I'm continuing to believe that I can get pregnant again.  Since that diagnosis I've been working hard to try to be more healthy and I'm so excited to share that I've been getting my period almost monthly whereas before I would get it 2-3 times a year.  Excited to get to know you all!

    ((Hugs))Welcome. So sorry for your loss, but happy you have found us. This is such a supportive group.

    I would recommend taking as look at other people's siggys(the text and pics after their posts) to get ideas, and then creating one of your own under your bump preferences. This will help us to get to know you and recognize you in posts.

    Also, the ttcal blog, linked at the top of the main page, is a great resource for many questions you have as well as general board etiquette.

    Also, kudos on getting your period back pretty regularly. That is great!

    Well said SSB! I'm sorry for your loss and that you find yourself here. Please take the time to read the blog, really lurk and know your audience before posting. There have been FAR too many women coming here and hurting our wonderful community with their laziness, insensitivity, & selfishness. I hope you understand how this forum works. Best of luck to you.

  • Welcome to the board. ((hugs)) I'm so sorry for your loss!!

    There are a number of ladies here that also suffer from PCOS and can relate to the struggles it alone poses. I was just recently diagnosed. Another lady offered up a great site soulcysters.com for info, and I've found it quite useful. Seems like you're doing well managing your PCOS and kudos to getting a monthly cycle. That's awesome when battling PCOS.

    I hope your stay here is short and sweet!
