Hi All. I have been lurking on this board for a few weeks now. I was not really sure I was ready to start posting, maybe because that is an acknowledgement that I belong here now. I will just do a brief intro. I look forward to getting to know you all, even though it isn't under the best of circumstances. DH and I have been married for a little over 2 years, TTC for a little over a year. I have irregular cycles with no known cause- cycles range from 25 to 53 days. I started using OPK's 4 cycles ago but never got a positive until last cycle. I had a positive opk July 21 and a BFP on Aug 1. Sadly, I started having intense cramping and spotting on August 18th- ended up in the ER and miscarried at home that night. My doctor told me there was no physical reason to wait to try again. So, we are starting to try again. I had a positive OPK on 9/6- so, we shall see.
Although I am disheartened by our loss, I am glad there is a place like this to go for support and love.
Re: I have been putting this off..moving here from April BMB
I am glad you found this board. This is a great place full of supportive nice ladies, I hope you find comfort and company here, during your TTCAL journey.
I've had 2 MC this year and after some time on the bench, I am now finally back TTC. It is a hard path, I hope you feel welcome here, and also feel free to post on the other boards (Waiting to ovulate, Two Week Wait, fur baby friday, etc).
Welcome!

@Ash&B2014, I like the idea that I'm still mom, even if I had to give my babies back. As someone who has wanted to be a mother above everything else, I find tremendous comfort in that.
