TTC After a Loss
Options

Intro *LC Mentioned*

Good evening!  I've been lurking on this board for a little over a month now and have silently found support here.  (Crazy how that can happen, huh?)  You've all even convinced me to buy a BBT and start temping- it's off to a "rocky" start as I get the hang of it!  I thought it was time to break the silence and join the conversations- so here's a little about my journey to get started.  I'll keep it short and sweet.  :)  I look forward to being active on the boards.  

I'm 34, work full time as a RN, have been married for (almost) 12 years, and have 2 boys (5 and 8).  My biggest hobby outside of work is running.  MH and I are training for our third marathon this October.  So, right now I'm channeling my emotions into miles and miles of road...sort of healthy, sort of crazy!  I'd love to have a reason to not run the marathon in October, but for now I'm going to kick some marathon a** in the name of my 5 lost babies.

I have had a total of 4 losses to date:
  • June 2007- Early Loss.  I didn't even know I was pregnant until I passed the tissue- it surprised me so much I brought it to my OB for testing.
  • December 2010- 8 weeks.  M/C at home after "normal" US that morning.
  • February 2014- 10 weeks (D&C), twins.  Baby A stopped developing around 6 weeks, and Baby B never developed past the Yolk Sac stage
  • July 2014- Early Loss.  HCG levels stayed stagnant around 25 for over a week.

    Thanks everyone- it's good to be "out".

    @stephy1221‌ - isn't there a check in for healthy living? Or running?

    I used to hate running...now I can't imagine life without it! How's your training going?

    nursecmc there is a healthy living check in. I am not sure when it goes out though.

    We are training 3 days a week, one day sprints, one maintenance run and one long. Last weeks long run had us at 8 miles and the race is mid October so I think we will be in good shape. 

    I have been running less than 2 years and it is still fresh when I couldn't run more than 3 minutes straight without huffing and puffing.

    When in October is yours? Mine is the 12th.

    @stephy1221‌ I aim for 3 days a week as well. Two speed work outs and a long run. This past Saturday was our first 20 mile run of the season.

    I started running about 4 years ago now and remember the first time I actually ran 3 miles and 6 miles as my biggest running milestones!

    Our race is October 12 as well- also our 12th wedding anniversary!

    Good luck in your training- I'd love to hear how your race (and training goes)!

    Your race isn't in New England is it? That would be a funny coincidence, Woosh, 20 miles that is awesome. What a nice way to spend your anniversary.
