TTC After a Loss

Hey all! I have been lurking since January and I think its time to introduce.
TW-Child Loss and LC
In December I gave birth to a little girl with a heart defect. She was rushed to a few different hospitals before she settled at a big one on a LOT of machines so her body could recover for surgery. She never recovered, and she was taken of the machines 5 days later, dying in our arms in minutes. I have been lurking on this board because, I suppose thankfully, the child loss board has very few people on it, and I feel like I never really knew this little one so this situation is similar to miscarriage in that I am mourning an IDEA of what I was supposed to have, as well as an actual child.
I do have one beautiful son who just turned two, and he helps keep my mind off how sad I am on the days its really hard.
End TW
We started TTC in July, and despite my best efforts temping, taking supplements, using OPKs and tracking CM and position, I have had no luck getting pregnant. Just got AF today and this will be the 4th cycle. I thought I was ready in July but God has other plans, I suppose.
Anyway, I have been an active part of TB before and you guys seem like a really supportive group of ladies. As I navigate the demons in my head that come along with AF every month, I think it will be nice to be with some ladies going through the same stuff.
