Introducing myself- not even sure if I belong, but hi :)
Hi ladies, I noticed this board over here, and after this week, I thought I'd introduce myself. I'll be honest, I'm not even sure exactly what secondary IF is, but I'm starting to feel like that's the category I'm fitting into. My deal:
1st loss was in Oct. of 2003. DH and I weren't even engaged at that point and not TTC, so it was a surprise. We didn't even know I was pg until I had a nat. m/c. Baby measured 10 wks. We were surprised but excited to get pg- I realized I was pg around 10 wks. Clearly, I wasn't so attentive to my cycles, etc. in the past, and I didn't really have symptoms. We were thrilled to welcome our DD 2/19/07.
We were super excited to have a bfp our 1st cycle really trying, just before Thanksgiving 2008. Everything looked great at the 1st u/s at 7w5d. I had no symptoms at all of a m/c, and was devastated to discover at the 2nd u/s, at 10.5 wks, that the h/b had stopped. Baby measured 9w2d. We just got the chromosomal test results back, and the m/c wasn't due to chromosomal issues. My OB consulted a specialist, who said that since it's (only) been 2 losses and I had a healthy delivery, that I don't need further testing. That's fine, but I'm just left wondering what in the world happened to this last baby. OB has me on baby aspirin and DH and I are currently TTC. I just had spotting mid-cycle, which I've never experienced before, so I feel like I don't even know my own body anymore. But I figure whatever's meant to be, will be.
So that's my story. Not sure if this qualifies as secondary IF, but if nothing else I thought some of you might be helpful w/ questions going forward. I spend lots of time of PL and TTCAL as well. Best wishes to all on here!
