TTC After a Loss
Since I'm new(er) can we have an intro?
I hope you don't mind me hanging over here. Some of the baby boards scare me, but you guys seem pretty nice 
Can we do intros...if that's okay?
I'm punkinpie. I'm 31 and we've been ttc for 3 years. We'll be married 4 this year. We've had 1 m/c and 1 ectopic and are currently seeing an RE and hoping for success.
My favorite color is green and I love daisies.
what about you? Anything you care to share?

Re: Since I'm new(er) can we have an intro?
I am new(er) here as well so I will play along.
I am 28 and we started TTC last December. We will celebrate our 4th wedding anniversary in November. We have had 1 m/c. My EDD was October 30th, one day before my 29th birthday. Yes, I'm a Halloween baby.
My favorite color at the moment...don't really have one. Lately I'm into blues and greens...relaxing colors. I love any flowers my DH gives me.
I'm not on as much b/c of my busy job. But I love hanging out here on my days off!
I am 29 and DH is 33. We've been married for two years. We've have 2 miscarriages since January. I am going against my better judgment (and what I would tell my own patients) and skipping RPL testing for now. I am hoping #3 will be my lucky baby.
I love my black lab/golden retriever mix. She's an awesome dog.
I'm 27, a special education teacher, and DH and I have been married for 2 years. I m/c back in September and have been TTC since January.
Welcome to the board!
Hello Pumpkinpie, nice to meet you...Glad you can join us...Sorry to hear about your losses. The girls here on this board are amazing!!! They all have helped me get throught he rough patches, and have given me light when it was dark.
**Stands up* I'm candlcrazee, I'm 30, we have been married for almost 2 years(together for 12) We've been TTC since december last year, got pg right away, but found out @ 20 weeks that the baby was brain dead( due to a rare underdevelopemant of the center of the brain-no connection to the right and left side) this cycle...we will be trying again(after Af show-which I am waiting she is due today)My fav color is blue and I love blue hydrangeas!
**sits back down**
Hi! Good idea. This is Dawn and I'm 35.
DH I dated for about 7 years before finally getting married in March '08. Our intention was to wait on TTC several months But we were surprised with our BFP 7/3/08. Best news ever.
A few weeks later, we went to Poland with DH & his fam (mil,fil,sil) as part of a wedding gift from his p's. They wanted to culture me a bit, show me their roots and introduce me to some of the family. On the airplane, in the middle of the night, I began to miscarry. That was on 7/24/2008 at just over 6 weeks. We've been trying ever since to no avail and finally started seeing an RE this past March.
My favorite color is ORANGE. I always thought it was tough too be in a bad mood when you're wearing orange. and my fave flowers are gerbera daisies. My wedding was loaded with 'em.
Hi Punkin! We here in the southern portions of the country call people punkin all the time, even if it is not their screen name. I'm Teppy, and I'm 38. DH and I have been married for 9 months and started TTC in January. We got pregnant right away, but after seeing a healthy heartbeat at 6 weeks, we found that the baby no longer had a heartbeat at 8 weeks. I had a d&c on March 5. After waiting for 12 weeks for AF to show, we finally began TTC again last month (though it wasn't much of an effort due to a really wonky cycle). We will be FWP a lot this month and hope this will be it for us.
My favorite color is probably blue, but may change given the context. I love gerber daisies and have a dog named Daisy.
Welcome.
I'll be 29 in September, DH is 30. Two previous m/c's in 2003 and 2005. DH and I have been together for 4 1/2 years and married for just over a year. First m/c a heartbeat was found at 6.5 weeks after some bleeding started. Went on to have a natural m/c anyway. Second m/c no heartbeat was found at 8 weeks. Probably stopped growing around the 6 week mark. Just trying to get past that dreaded first trimester.
My favorite color is blue, orange, brown, red, white. I love Hydrangeas (prefer blue) roses, gerbera daises, and orchids.
And I love anything Disney related.
My name is Jacquie, I am 31 years young. DH and I got married in October of 2008. We got pregnant as soon as I went off BCP. I was diagnosed with a blighted ovum and had a D&C in March. I am on my third cycle TTCAL.
My interests are football, halloween, photography, and kitties. I hate my job and look forward to moving out of the sunshine state in 2009.
I'll go. I'm 33, dh is 34 we got married August 2008 and we got pregnant During Christmas. I had a natuaral mc in February and we've been TTC ever since.
My favorite colors are yellow, pink and green and my most favoritist flower is the Peony...which Dh spend mucho $ buying.
Hi punkinpie! I like your username! I'm new here too & these girls are great! Don't be afraid to ask anything.
I'm almost 22 and the hubby is 24. We have been married 2 years now (just celebrated on June 24) but have been together for 7. We were casually TTC (no pressure that way!) and got pregnant for the first time in March. I naturally m/c on 4/11/09. It was a possible ectopic, but everything is all clear now. We're going to start TTC again in August. I want spring & summer babies!
I love bright colors, but pink is my favorite. I love to cook & bake - I'm better at baking. We have a 9 month old English Shepard puppy, Bella. She adds some excitement & activity to the house which is great when hubby works late.

Welcome!
I'm 31 and DH is 35, we've been married for 4 years and TTC for a little over a year. I got my first BFP in March, and had an ectopic pg. I'm on my first cycle TTC post m/c (and had an HSG a couple weeks ago).
I'm a French teacher who loves dogs, knitting and the outdoors. I like green and purple best, and I love hydrangea (but I can't grow them to save my soul!)
My turn......I'm Tara. I am 34 and DH is 36. We got married in June 2007 and got pregnant 3 weeks after our wedding......surprise!!! Had a beautiful baby boy and named him Henry. We started to try for #2 and got pregnant our first month trying in March, the month that my son turned 1, which is exactly what I wanted to happen. Low and behold, the reason we are all here, I lost that baby at a little over 6 weeks. We got the go ahead to start trying after the first cycle and here we are, month 1 and in my 2ww, so we'll see how that goes.
My favorite color is green and I don't love many flowers, I mean, they are nice, but big, old trees is what gets me. I love them, they are just so pretty when you look up into there big branches and watch their leaves blow.
My 13 yo dog recently died and has devastated me but I am left with 3 fur kitties that I love dearly.

Hi,
I am Landra (a newbie too) and I got married in October 2008. My DH and I got an unexpected natural BFP back in March 2006 right before we got engaged. I started spotting one day at work and went straight to my OB who said I was threatning to miscarry and he put me on bedrest. I m/c'd the next morning and although it was tough at first I know my baby is an angel in heaven. Planning my wedding helped me take my mind off my loss and we started TTC again in December 08'. My cycles started going out of whack so I saw an RE in May and was diagnosed with non-insulin resistant PCOS. I am on my 1st cycle of fertility treatment with Timed BD.
My favorite colors are turquoise, lavender and bright green. I love to travel and I teach Drama to high school students in NYC

Thanks for initiating introductions... it is so helpful with all the new faces.
::Waves hello:: My name is Tara. I am 30 and dh is 35. We have been together for 4 1/2 years and married for 1 year. We were fortunate to get pg on out 1st try in December, only to lose the baby in early February (blighted ovum.) We are so excited to be pg again, but feeling a bit nervous--so, TTCAL seems more like where I belong. Perhaps, after the ultrasound on July 24, I will feel more comfortable with this pg.
GL to everyone.
Welcome to the board!
I'm Liz. I'm 28, and live in Alabama. We started TTC in Dec. 08. Got a BFP in April, found out it was a blighted ovum in late May. AF just left, so we are back to TTC this month.
I'm an animal lover, and we currently have 4 cats.
Hello,
I thought I would take this opportunity to introduce myself as well. My husband and I have been married for almost two years and we live in California. We began TTC in October of 2008. I got pregnant on the 1st try but sadly had a missed m/c at 10 wks (my 1st US was on newyears eve...not a great way to start 2009), followed by a D&C. My OB told us we only had to wait one cycle to try again and I got pregnant right away, only to m/c again at 7 wks (so I had another D&C). We were told to wait 2 cycles this time. So we are back onthe TTC bandwagon again. Wish me luck!
Thanks for creating an opprtunity for us all to share our experiences.
Hi Punkinpie. punkin is what my dad calls me, and now I call DD. Cute name. I am Eviebee (also a nn for DD). I am 29, DH is 30. We've been married 5 years this year. We started ttcing #1 at the beginning of 06, got pg after 8 months and had our beautiful baby girl in 2007. After my year mat leave I decided to stay home with her and to make extra $ started a home daycare. I take care of 3-5 toddler's + DD in my home everyday, eek!
We started ttc #2 in Feb and got pg in the 3rd month and lost the baby at 11weeks. We are not ttcing again yet, I am just starting my 1st af since mc.
My fav colour is too hard to choose one. I love blue, green, yellow, pink, and just painted DD's new room in lavender and loving it.
My favourite flowers are orange roses.
I have 2 projects on the go right now, painting a mural in DD's new lavender room and potty training!
