so i talked to my perinatal dr today--the chromosomal results were finally in...and my little boy was normal--nothing abnormal.  so we have now ruled out rH factor, the virus thing, and a chromosomal abnormality.  the dr (and my aunt who is a former ob/gyn) said we will never know what really happened, but it was a structural abnormality, like a defected heart, or a vein or artery missing, that possibly caused congestive heart failure.  but the chances of this happening again are nil...which i guess is good, but the chances of this happening at all were also low, so i'm not sure if i'm buying the odds.  but, strangely after i got off the phone (i was at work when he called), i felt relief, and some closure.  according to the dr there wasn't anything i did, or could have done.  and if we do try again (we'll see about that for other issues that hopefully counseling will resolve or give us help with), at least the dr believes it will be fine.  oh, and the good news is that he told me if we were going to try again, i will be extra fertile for the next 3-6 months, so now's the time to get going...wow, what a way to say to get back on that horse (as my mil said when i told her the news).  nothing will replace my little boy, and i know i'll be a wreck with the next pregnancy, but hey, this is some good news right?

SO, does this mean you'll be making the move with me soon to TTCAL?

when are you moving over?  i don't know when--my DH is ready to go...i'm very hesitant, and worried, and don't know how i'll make it through another pregnancy---i'm naturally a worrier (plus, i don't know why but i just dread starting to temp again, and i've avoided the prenatals b/c i guess i think if i don't take them i dont' need to think about it)....sigh...i did start lurking over there just to get a feel.  how do you know when you're ready?
