Intro (TWs children & loss)

lifeisbetteronthered · May 2017

Hi. I'm back to the boards for another go. Hubby & I are both 38, and we are hoping to complete our family. I pulled the goalie this week (i.e. had my Mirena removed) and we are ready to start TTC after my first normal period (the one and only time will I look forward to my period). We have been blessed with 3 children (ages 4, 2 and nearly 1), and saddened by one loss at 10 weeks. Thankfully in the past we have been able to get pregnant within 6 months of trying, but a health concern on my part keeps the pregnancies "exciting" (read: multiple specialists, weekly bloodwork, various treatments, and well planned deliveries, etc, not actually exciting). Our health care team is nervous, but fully on board with our plans for a fourth and final child. For each of my TTC, pregnancies and kids I have been active on these boards (though not this one necessarily, I don't remember). I tend to drift off when my baby starts to sleep through the night (the bump is key for me to stay awake during middle of the night feedings) and life gets crazy. I don't expect to have many questions for the board, but am happy to answer any that I can. I love these boards for support and consideration, as well as for getting me in the TTC mindset. Best wishes everyone.

Seems when I post from my phone, paragraphs are omitted. Sorry about that. I promise I know how to use the "enter" button.

Welcome back @TomW&JennD wishing you the best TTC #4! The ladies here are great & it's a supportive place to be. Even though we are all at different stages ttc (natural, TI, IUI, in vitro) I enjoy sharing with & supporting this group!
