Okay so I had to change some information on my account because I got into it with another board... was ttcmbbaby...
I noticed some new names so I figured I would re-intro myself... I have a dd who is 7; I am 27 and dh is 26. We have been married for nearly 5 years and ttc baby #2 for 4 of those years... DD is not dh's but we were friends in middle and high school and started dating when I was 3 months pregnant and dd's father left... DH has been there for EVERYTHING even cut the cord and dd doesn't know the difference (we will tell her one day when she is old enough). We tried clomid for 5 rounds then hsg - showed possible blockage but was inconclusive by ob so referred to specialist. Specialist did lap which showed no blockage but had a cyst that was removed. Tried clomid again for 2 rounds no luck; switched to injectibles lowest does and super ovulated; tried letrozole and nothing the first try at 2.5mg; increased to 5mg and baby didn't stick first try but hcg was elevated (slightly) showing it was working - first almost positive; tried letrozole 5mg again in October got pregnant mc November 1 at 5w3d; waited until first period after mc tried letrozole 5mg didn't produce any good eggs so took 7.5mg starting mid-cycle had 3 eggs - got pregnant again great numbers really early. Went in for 6w5d scan and no heartbeat. Lost baby at 7w2d which will be two weeks this upcoming Saturday...
We are not ready to try again just yet - have to at least wait until first af after but I know we will be trying again so I wanted to rejoin... Plus they ran 12 blood tests for recurrent loss after this last pregnancy and I should get those today or tomorrow so it is possible I will need advice if something comes back abnormal and/or just support to get through this... Today I would have been 9 weeks and instead I've just lost all my weight and have my "skinny" pants back on for the 2nd day in a row (two different pairs), so it's a bit sad right now for me... I really do wish us all the best and oddly enough the first time I joined this group I got pregnant and I was part of the group with my last pregnancy as well... so I really think there's a lot of positive energy in this group!
