Hello ladies, I feel sort of in limbo and I hope that I can spend some time here. I post on the TTCAL board but since many of those ladies don't have any children sometimes I wonder if I hurt their feelings since I already have one. Here I feel like you will understand my want for a sibling for DS.
Now my story. We started trying for #2 when DS was 4 months old. 8 months later in May 2012 I got my BFP. Beyond happy. The happiness was short lived as first my betas were considered too low, than too high and finally the ultrasound showed a slow heartbeat and fetal demise the week after. I went ahead with the d&c that my doctor said I needed.
Long story short, I am almost 4 months out and I have not had AF. I am cycling but not bleeding. I have a sonohystogram scheduled for 11/06. While I was trying to get AF back I switched OBs since my old one wasn't too concerned about my lack of period, even after Provera failed and an ultrasound confirmed ovulation. I had to provide my records to my new OB and that is when I found out that at my third and last ultrasound, the one that confirmed the fetal demise, there was a second sack that said "possible BO?". I was never told and I feel robbed that I didn't give that baby a chance. I wish I knew and I would have waited another week before going ahead with the d&c, since that second sack wasn't visible on the two ultrasounds prior to this one.
Anyway. I'm still raw and hurt and bitter. And as much as I am hoping for this to be an easy fix all signs point to something being wrong. My thyroid and the other blood work that the new doctor ordered came back within normal range.
So I hope you will have me here.
Re: Intro. Will you have me here?
I am so sorry for your loss and the experience you had with your first Ob. This is definitely the right board for you. May of us have had losses and understand wanting another child, but having difficulty getting or staying pregnant.
Welcome to the board. I hope your stay here is short.

I don't post here very often, but I think I might start posting here more because of my situation too. I just wanted to say how very sorry I am for your loss. I can relate as I started TTC #2 when DS was 10 months old. Since then, I've had a c/p and am getting ready to go through my second miscarriage a blighted ovum.
Anyway, I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry for your losses. Being that we got lucky with DS #1 (got pregnant on 4th cycle trying, on our honeymoon) I never thought I would find myself not only on a loss board, but losing not one but two babies and struggling with fertility after my loss. It's like being kicked while you're down. I hope I see you posting here more often and that you get your sticky baby soon. Hugs.
