TTC After a Loss

Hello everyone, I'm new here

Hello to all you strong ladies that I have been reading about for the past few months.  You are all so inspiring to me, and give me hope, a smile, or a laugh- so I thought I would finally introduce myself.  I am 31 years old and learned that I was pregnant in March with our first child.  I did an early test and proceeded to test every day for a week (I just wanted to keep seeing that positive test) then at the one week mark I started to bleed and another pregnancy test confirmed that I was no longer pregnant.  The nurse practitioner avoided using the term "chemical pregnancy", but I got the feeling that that is what she thought this was.  She advised that we could start trying as soon as we felt comfortable, so we tried even before I got my next period (nurse practitioner considered the CP my period-and doctor confirmed).  In April a period never showed up and I actually started feeling symptoms (which I hadn't felt in the first pregnancy)- nauseous, hungry etc etc.  Test confirmed we were pregnant again, blood work looked great, ultrasound was done at 6.5 weeks and heart beat was strong- we thought for sure that this was it!  Unfortunately on Mother's Day (9 weeks) I was spotting ever so slightly with no cramping.  The doctor called me in just for "peace of mind" and unfortunately the ultrasound showed no heart beat.  D&C happened the next morning and the results came back as Trisomy 13.  The doctor advised that we wait a month- but it has been two months and we finally feel ready to try again which is exciting and terrifying all at the same time.  My doctor feels confident that from the analysis the lab did that this was just a "lightning strike" type of event- but I feel like what I have read (dang you google!) is a mixed bag.  I am thinking of and praying for you all!!!
