Re: give mehope...
I am so sorry for your losses. I know that right now the future looks so dim, I have so been there. Our first loss was an e/p as well. I thought ok well it just got stuck in the tube and we'll be fine next time. Then I had my second loss, and third loss and forth loss. I'm not writing this to scare you, I'm telling you this to give you hope, because somehow here I am. Dont give up!! There were so many days I felt it was never gonna be in the cards for us and I wanted to throw in the towel because I was so scared and didnt think I could handle another loss.
But my longing for a baby still outweighed my fear of another m/c. I did have to take a few months off here and there just to keep myself sane. Do whatever you need to do for you right now. Huge hugs hun, and cant wait to see you over here soon.

After 1 year of TTC#2 BFP May 2011 m/c #3 4w2d. Off to RE.
Round 1: Femara + Ovidrel +TI = BFP! EDD 2/20/12
2IF does not always equal 3IF...Surprise!
I'm so very sorry for your losses. I know this is such a terrible time, and with my last loss, I couldn't imagine how I was going to get through those initial weeks, and I'm one of the fortunate ones who had a healthy child in b/w losses- a second loss was heartbreaking but I knew how lucky I was to have my DD.
There are so many reasons to be hopeful- whether it's continuing to try on your own, with a little intervention, or working with a RE, there are so many options out there these days. Very best wishes to you moving forward.
