Reintroduction. Living child and loss mentioned

in TTC after 35
Not quite TTC this month but will be the end of summer. I am starting to really track and have lots of questions.
Im Jennifer from NY. About to turn 37 next week. I have been married for 6 years and together we have a 4 1/2 year old son plus a dog.
I was here back in September/October. Got pregnant right away, so excited I even bought a big brother t shirt for my son. Had his name and July 2015 put on it. Then i found out it was "just" a chemical pregnancy and according to my doc wasn't a real pregnancy or m/c. Still hurt and more so right now since this would've been my due month (1 week after my b-day)
I was just getting over things and preparing to TTC again when I was in a bad accident. My car was totaled and we weren't sure if I would need surgeries so TTC had to be postponed. Also thanks to the accident I had to use FMLA so because of that I had to wait because you need to be working a full year before you can use FMLA again.
So here I am. Lots of questions and praying my son can be a big brother.

Wishing you luck! The ladies on this board are wonderful! We are all here to help and support each other.
And I had a false BFP last month due to leftover hcg from a miscarriage I had 2 months earlier. That was definitely not even slightly a pregnancy, but it still hurt. Getting wonderful news and having it dashed is tough.
Welcome, and good luck TTC.
BFP 2/19/15 • MMC found at 9 wks • D&E at 11 wks (age 36)
BFP 8/29/15 • CP (age 37)
TTC#2 since May 2017
BFP 10/18/17 • MMC found at 8 wks • Misoprostal at 10.5 wks (age 39)
BFP 2/16/18 • CP (age 39)
BFP 4/13/18 • CP (age 39)
BFP 5/07/18 • MMC found at 10.5 wks • D&E at 11.5 wks • Testing showed it was a girl with Trisomy 22. (age 39/40)
9/5/18 Diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve (4-5 follicles, one ovary had none and was very atrophied)
RE says the low egg count is likely causing my recurrent pregnancy loss. Less eggs results in more aneuploidy.
BFP 9/24/18 • CP (age 40)
I am very sorry for your loss and accident, that's awful.
Best of luck to you!
I'm trying to lose some weight in hopes that it will help. Plus charting etc. trying to make things the optimal conditions.
