TTC After a Loss

Introduction

Good morning ladies! I hope you are all enjoying your Sunday's. I am home sick and thought I would spend my time on the Bump and have decided to intro over here. I recently started participating over in TTGP and have slowly started realizing that I never really processed my losses. There was so much going on in our lives that I tried to just get through as best I could. This past month I have been called off the bench (after over a year of NTTCR medical testing/procedures) and we were so excited to be given the green light! The one emotion I did not expect, however, was fear. I am consumed by it. These feelings are so conflicting and my losses happened a few years ago, so it is difficult sometimes to talk through it with DH. While waiting to O or while taking an HPT I feel so ambivalent, and then comes the guilt. So all of that to say I am here to give as much support and to learn from you ladies, though I wish none of us were here. 

I am looking forward to getting to know you all and am open to any and all questions! Lots of info in my siggy. 
Thanks so much for reading!

Oh right! A bit about myself: I am 27 and have CVID which basically means my immune system doesn't work so good. I also was diagnosed with AOE (Adult Onset Epilepsy) which doctors are thinking is a result of an infection in my brain (meningitis) when I was young. So thanks to occasional seizures I can't drive. I used to work as an after school director and taught ESOL in the public schools where I live in NW GA. I grew up over seas and speak three languages. I have 4 furbabies whom I adore. DH is a staff sargeant in the Marine Corps and coaches soccer when he is home. We were both jocks in college but are also both TOTAL nerds (love me some LOTR, Harry Potter). Phew....guess that's it. Thanks for reading! ;)

  • I'm sorry for your losses but welcome!

    Glad to hear you're off the bench after a year. Your fear is pretty normal and it does suck :( FX to you!
    I am not sure how to say this without getting a "solicitation" warning so I guess I just say that I am not longer active on THIS site. 



  • Welcome and I'm sorry for your losses. Please don't let fear overcome you. It is very scary but we can't let fear stop us from trying. Good luck to you.
