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.
I lurked and found comfort here as well for a while before joining in. Joining in is decidedly more supportive. I hope that you find the comfort and support you need here. I am so sorry for your losses. *hugs*
We met in middle school. We got married 15 years later in a February blizzard of 2010.

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.

@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?
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!
