Hi ladies,
Would like to join you all. I am 39 yrs old and trying to conceive my 2nd child. We have a daughter who is 3 1/2.
I previously had an ectopic pregnancy that resulted in emergency surgery and the removal of my right tube. We just started TTC 10 months ago and after 4 cycles of Clomid, we got our first BFP! Well, about a week ago after my HCG levels didn't rise after several tests over the course of a few weeks, we found out my pregnancy was not going to stick. I scheduled a D&C, but started to miscarry naturally this weekend at about 7 1/2 weeks. This is my first miscarriage and it sucks.
I'm off to see my RE in 2 weeks to see what is next.
Things about me: I'm a hospital administrator and my husband is a military jet pilot. He travels a lot for work. We live on the water in NC currently and love it. We boat and travel a lot and life is good (other than these awful fertility issues we've had!!! Grrrr.)
Anyway, just wanted to say hello and start posting here! Hope you're all well.
Re: Intro (loss mentioned)....
Welcome to our group. Unfortunately many of us understand your sorrow. I've had 2 losses since I actively started ttc #3 2 years ago. We will help you through this difficult time so feel free to lean on us for support.
I hope the RE can figure out a good plan to help you achieve your BFP.

marijaa333 Let me know what you'd like to know about the NC beaches. We live near Emerald Isle/Atlantic Beach, but have a house on an inlet in New Bern. It's awesome and affordable and we absolutely LOVE it.
It's more country than I ever thought I'd tolerate, but we really enjoy it.
