MIA - Re-introduction ***Living child mentioned

MrsSnyder124

Well. I'm back . I haven't posted in months . My due date came and went . I'm one month away from when we conceived last year. Wow. The year goes by fast when you are counting the months by ovulation days instead of actual days . When I think about giving up I think about you ladies . The ones who have been trying for years. Not a year. So here I am ladies . To give support ! And to be encouraged by your kind words that I hold so dear . Best wishes from Washington , Michelle

Edited for reintro

Hello again,

My name is Michelle and I am a now 27 year old WA resident.  I have been married to my husband Charlie for going on 9 years.  Charlie is medically retired from the Army and I am receptionist at an urgent care clinic.  We waited to conceive until after he was discharged from the Army and had our first child in January of 2013.  January of 2014 we conceived our second child, due October 5th of this year.  I began spotting at 6 weeks and miscarried at 9 weeks.  Those 3 weeks were an up and down roller coaster of emotion.  Ultrasounds showing a gestational sac that was growing, but empty... BETA levels rising but not enough.  Ultimately my OB deemed our pregnancy non viable and prescribed Cytotec to move things along.

So here we are, trying to conceive.  We waited 2 months before trying again.  I don't have to explain how I feel each month because I know so many of you feel the same...hopeful yet hesitant.  Excited yet weary.  To be perfectly honest, I did not think it would take my body this long to recover.  I am trying to decide if I should follow up with my OB again..to see if anything medically is preventing me from conceiving again.  I just haven't gotten to that point yet.

For now, I am staying positive,  Hoping for the best and preparing for the worse. (Being a military wife taught me something eh?)

Thank you for listening to my re-intro

Welcome back.

Since it has been awhile since you lasted posted, giving a re-intro might be a good idea (you can just edit this OP to include some background about you). We have a lot of new members since May/June.

Welcome back.  Although I echo bug's suggestion since I honestly don't remember you.  I'd like to know your story if you are willing to share.

This too. You were not super active (less than 100 posts) and six months is a long time on this board.  Maybe updating your siggy with some info too?

I will do a re intro for sure ! I'm a night owl so when I get home from work this evening (I work in urgent care) I'll edit my OP. Thank you for the warm welcome ladies .

This is going to sound AWFUL but I know I am not alone in this; for the past few months the stress of the matter has taken it's toll on the frequency of  TRYING to conceive..if ya know what I mean. *wink wink* 

Stress isn't helping.  My weight gain isn't helping. And the few times a month of coitus sureeee isn't helping!  

I have been charting and looking at the charts is a little depressing. 

I feel like if I went to an RE they would quirk an eyebrow at me and say "So...you do know you have to have sex to get pregnant right?"  >.>

We had two months that I was so sure of, AF was even a couple days late...then she hit with a vengeance.  And since then we have both just been in a slump.
