Another New Girl, Hello! (Loss mentioned)

Gretchen1771

Hello everyone! I am new to TB and have posted some, now new to this board. I would love to pick all your brains, be available to others, and pay it forward as I learn more. 

A little about me: I am 31 and have been married for just over two years to DH - 32. We have a couple awesome fur babies - a wonderful pup and a fat cat. We started trying to add a human baby to the mix a year and a half ago. After 10 months we succeeded, though this resulted in a MMC at 12 weeks after we had seen two heartbeats. Like most people, I am still having trouble with this for numerous reasons. The big reason is that my body has not functioned in a way to support another pregnancy since, so discovering each month that I didn't even have a chance just twists the knife a little more. I temp, I monitor CM, as well as other symptoms that have shown to make a difference in my cycles. 

The one month we succeeded was the second month that my body was giving me signs that I was fertile. I have only been monitoring things more closely for just over a year, though feel that there is a good chance that in at least the last 2.5 years, those were my only fertile months. I just started seeing an RE and we are still in the info gathering stage. I am nervous about some of the testing over the next month, but hopeful as well. I have been ready to be a mom for such a long time!

Other things about me - I love reading, nutrition, wine, cooking, trying to grow vegetables and failing miserably, and I am a movie freak. I love outdoor activities (hiking, snowboarding), though I live in Texas right now and it is too hot for that and there are no mountains

Thank you for taking the time to read and best wishes to all of you ladies. I look forward to getting to know you more

GL on your journey! The ladies here were awesome when I went through my first round of testing.

Hello and Good Luck with your new Adventure! Going to see an RE was a good decision, I personally was seeing an OB for 6-7 months and all they did was medicate and I never got anywhere, once I went to the RE, he diagnosed me and gave me options and ideas to make things happen quick! P.s. "Trying to grow vegetables and failing miserably" too funny, I have tried and always fail, even flowers are hard for me! My husband got me some indoor plants ( they're pretty hearty ) and they seem to be doing well!
