Stepping back over...Re-Intro

figgs0831figgs0831 member
in TTC After a Loss

I'm sure many don't remember me, so an official re-intro is in order.  I joined TTCAL in July 2011 after our first son was born sleeping at 19w3d.  We were one of the fortunate ones, who were blessed with a short 3 month stay. It took 18 months for us to get our first BFP, so we never imagined that we would get pregnant again on our first cycle TTCAL. Sadly, that pregnancy also came to an end 20 weeks later. 

We were led to believe that our first loss was "bad luck" and the baby just wasn't healthy.  It turned out that he WAS healthy and the problem is actually with me.  With the loss of Mason, we discovered a few big things.  I have a blood disorder, poossible IC, and a immunologic issue.

So, we are back to square one.  Currently, I am TTA and will be staying this way until at least August.  During this time, my doctors and I are doing some testing and trying to formulate a plan to get me to term.  We were told that a 3rd pregnancy would be risky and they can't guarantee I won't have the same outcome. I am actually happy that we are TTA for now.  It gives me a chance to heal and mentally prepare for a next pregnancy.  It is going to be filled with restrictions, medications, and extreme anxiety.

Anyway, I'm not allowed on birth control, so I'll be charting once AF decides to return.  It's been almost 13 weeks and she is refusing to come back (Provera didn't work).  I look forward to getting to know you all and giving support where I can.

 Our baby boy,Logan, was born still at 19w3d on 7/1/2011
Our 2nd baby boy, Mason, was born still at 20w3d on 1/31/2012

 After a much needed sanity break... we are praying for our rainbows

((BFP 7/29/13))  ((EDD 4/12/14))  It's BOY/GIRL twins!!!

    Welcome back Figgs. I'm so sorry for everything that you've been through.
    3 ectopic pregnancies (EDD's 1/30/12-tube removed, 6/2/12-methotrexate and 10/2/12-methotrexate)
    IVF and Natural FET resulted in BFN's and a hole in our wallets
    Natural BFP #4 on 9/7/12 gave us our miracle on 5/18/13

    It's good to see you here!

    I remain so sorry for both of your losses, and hate you have to come back to this board ... But I am so excited to know that you're going to try again this Fall. (It's August for us, as well ... At least I hope, I keep pushing the month back.)

    Thinking of you and your family. Welcome.

    We lost our first (EDD 07/23/12) after finding out at 12 weeks there was no longer a heartbeat. Our rainbow was born 05/22/13 and was worth all we went through.
