TTC After a Loss

***Intro with a Heavy Heart*** (DD/Siggy Warning)

Hi everyone,

I'm introducing myself here with a heavy heart, yet a hopeful one as DH and I TTC #2 after losing our baby last week. We found out at our ultrasound that I was only 6 weeks along, with no heartbeat when I should have been almost 11 weeks. I had a D&C on Saturday (and that went pretty well, thank God). I've had one CP in 8/2010 after which I struggled with PCOS for 18 months before conceiving DD. I've heard such wonderful things about this board from my BMB and I hopefully look forward to cheering on graduates from here in the very near future. TIA!











***siggy warning***

  • Thanks for the advise @lingchow8655 I'd like to be active here, so I removed the pic. Are siggy warnings still appropriate with a ticker and no picture? I would really feel awful if I hurt anyone here.

    Thank you so much for the sig warning. Welcome to the board. I'm so sorry for your losses. We usually encourage warnings for photos of LO's but a ticker isn't as big of a deal. Have you checked out our blog yet? There's a link on the badge in my signature. I hope your stay with is brief. And again, thank you for being so thoughtful and considerate of others feelings on the board. It's a wonderful first impression when you care about those that may be hurt. Removing the photo is usually the easiest because then you don't have to worry about the warning every time you post. ((hugs))

  • I am so sorry for your loss and that you find yourself here, but welcome!

    I have no issue with your ticker, but according to the blog, a ticker warning is proper etiquette, as seen here:

    It is also appreciated when a siggy warning is included in the title of your post or at the top of your response if you have a ticker for or a picture of your older living child. Most agree that a picture of a toddler aged child or older is completely fine, but pictures of your older child while they are still a baby can be very hard to see to other TTCALers.

    When you have a chance, you should definitely check out the blog, there is a lot of helpful information in there.

    Again, welcome!

  • Stasi, I am so sorry for your loss. There are a number of women here who also have PCOS and offer a lot of great advice. Welcome.

    I'd also encourage you to check out the TTA and Newbie check-ins. It's a great way to connect to women on the board that are in the same place as you are and can relate to your feelings.

  • So sorry for your loss...
  • I'm sorry for your loss. ((hugs)) You shouldn't need to post a warning for that ticker, just in this thread alone I counted a handful at least of ladies who have toddler tickers or older child tickers and no warnings.  Non-graphical tickers are usually ok and don't need a warning with each post.

  • I'm so sorry for your loss!  Have you been seen by an RE yet for your PCOS?  If you haven't it might be worthwhile to have a consult with one.  I have PCOS and I'm on Metformin to help with insulin resistance and ovulation.  With your history of struggling to conceive you might have a similar issue.  Just a thought.  I'm sorry that you find yourself here, but I hope that your stay is short!  Big ((HUGS))

    @rmpar29 I haven't seem an RE, but my DH, OB and I are going to sit down and come up with a game plan at my 2 week checkup. I was on Metformin with DD because I had elevated blood sugar and testosterone levels, I was also anovulatory for about 7 months prior to that and the Metformin seemed to help that. I was not on it this time around because my cycles had regulated, but now I'm kicking myself for not taking that into consideration. I think my OB is going to order blood work and get me back on it.
