Now I feel like I don't know anybody...

pepomntpat · February 2010

Was it because I was gone for a week? I am so lost.

Can we do an introduction post?

Name?

How long have you been with DH/SO?

TTC journey?

Anything else we should know?

pepomntpat · February 2010

I'm Jennifer. DH and I have been married for almost 4 years. We started TTC in September and got a BFP right away. I had a missed miscarriage and D&E on November 11 at exactly 9 weeks. We just started TTCAL this cycle. I volunteer with an animal shelter every Tuesday, I have four cats and a dog and I am a foster parent.

str8ota · February 2010

I feel the same way. There are so many SN's I don't recognize and with everything that happened today I kept thinking "is that another Virgin Mary AE?" Nope, just someone I didn't know.

TTC Journey - it's a mess! Been at it for 2 years and had multiple losses. Waiting to start IVF this Spring so I can by-pass my damaged tubes.

BeachCole · February 2010

I've only been around for a couple months, and I still feel the same way. I think an intro post is a good idea.

I'm Kelly, I'm 24. DH and I have been together for 4 years, married a year and a half. I went to college for broadcast journalism, couldn't find a job, and I'm now back in school for pre-law. DH joined the Army last year, and it's been a really big change. I went of BC in July 09. Starting actively trying in October and got a BFP that month. Was misdiagnosed with a partial molar at almost 10 weeks. Confirmed missed m/c at 10 weeks, and d&c at 10w4d. We have 4 cats.

ERICA21779 · February 2010

My name is Erica,

I have been with my husband 12 years, will be married for 5 in May.

I had been ttc for 14 months when i discovered I had a cornual ectopic pregnancy after being taken to the ER for severe abdominal pain. I also discovered i was almost 8 weeks along. It has been 7 months since my loss and still no bfp after 3 rounds of clomid. My RE has suggested IVF becasue he feels it will be much safer for me and that I would have quicker results.......I am blessed with a 4 year old DD and I have one dog and two cats.

kona08 · February 2010

nomadicprincess · February 2010

Hi all! I'm Denise and I'm 38. DH and I have been together as a couple almost 2 years. We just got married on July 4th and that was when we first started the TTC journey (we even waited to have sex until marriage). We were happy when we found out 2 1/2 weeks later that we were pregnant. Unfortunately, 3 days later, I lost the baby--CP #1. In October, we found out we were pregnant again, but my progesterone was really low and ....CP#2. Then, at the beginning of January, found out I was pregnant again. This time the #s were good and we had hope. Went in for the 8 wk u/s and found out that the baby died at 6 wks 2 days.

Apparently, I'm very fertile but unable to carry a baby to term. We see the doctor on Monday to get our test results back and hope and pray we will have an answer as to why I keep losing babies. Maybe it is my age and all the eggs left suck. I don't know. I figure we'll keep trying until I either go crazy or I go through menopause (or both).

uklawgirl · February 2010

*walks up to the mike and waves*

I'm Tonya. I am 35, an attorney in Milwaukee (how do I join the TTCAL lawyer's club? Is there a bar? I've passed two already Wink ) that is working as a director of volunteers for a local hospice.

My DH and I have been together three and a half years and were married on 12/26/09. We got pregnant that night or the night after with a BFP on 1/8/10. We found out at our first u/s on 2/15 that there was no HB. I had a natural m/c yesterday. We weren't really "trying" so this has all been a big, shocking, sad whirlwind.

We've got 2 cats and full half time custody of his little boy from his first marriage. We will start TTC as soon as 2 cycles go by, which I hope is quickly. We like to bike, read, travel, troll the interwebs and until recently I volunteered on the board of director's of a local grieving center for children. My DH is from Ukraine originally, although he's been here for 8 years and is a citizen, and I am trying to learn Russian.

ksyknelvr73 · February 2010

1) Name is Regina Big Smile

2) Married to DH Scott for almost 2 1/2 years, been together for about 4.

3) We started TTC in December '09, I got pregnant right away, BFP on 12/19/09. Had betas done on 12/30/09, HCG:4800, Prog:20, went back on 1/12/10 for first u/s to hear heartbeat and they weren't able to find one...so had BW done again, HCG:44,000, Prog:15. Doctor thought hormone levels weren't rising correctly, but said I could just "be off on my dates" (there was no way). Went back for two more u/s because the doctor just couldn't be SURE it was a m/c yet...on 1/25/10 at 3rd u/s they confirmed. Baby never grew past 6w3d and I should have been 9w5d. Never saw a heartbeat. Had a D&C on 1/26/10, I am currently going through my first post-m/c AF and after it's done, we will be actively TTC again.

4) I don't get to hang out as much on here as I want either b/c of work...but I try! And I don't post on anything that I can't relate to b/c I don't want to sound like an idiot and offer my uninformed opinion.

denise_m · February 2010

I'm Denise, 27 from Northern CA.

I've been with dh 11 years this May. We've been married for 5 1/2 years.

I was a FH. Got KU with dd in 2004 using the pull and pray method with AF sex. She was a normal pregnancy (boderline GD) and arrived 3 days late. 2007 I was pregnant again, same way as before. Found out it was a boy at 12 weeks and he had a 2 vessel cord. At 23w5d my water broke. I was in labor and urged to induce. I didn't and spent 10 weeks on hospital bed rest. Matthew was born at 33 weeks and spent 26 days in the NICU. He was 10 weeks old when we lost him to SIDS.

January 2009 I was pregnant again. Due date was a day after Matthew's due date. Was scared, nervous and hadn't yet decided I was ready to try again. But, I got so excited. Saw hb at 7w2d and m/c at 8 w2d. no reasons found. Pregnant again June, missed m/c at 6w2d, finally gave into it and had cytotec at 10 week, d &c at 11 weeks. C/P in December.

Finally got approved to see the RE and now just waiting for them to call and schedule my testing

writergirl5786 · February 2010

My name is Becca. DH and I have been together almost 6 years now, coming up on our first wedding anniversary in april! We had a surprise BFP in august right after coming off of BCP (because of health/side affects) but had a m/c at 9 weeks (said baby had stopped growing at 7 weeks). we were originally planning on waiting 2ish years after wedding before ttc, but since the pregnancy, we both really want to be parents! so after 5 months of waiting--11 weeks from m/c to first AF and now 10 weeks since then with no visit from AF--i am on progesterone (as of monday) to hopefully jump start my ovaries. otherwise i'll be looking for advice on clomid, bc that's the next step, says my dr. about me? well you can check out my blog, but i love to write and i knit like crazy! oh and i have two kitties who i love

i'm super grateful for this board and all the love and support

nthomps0612 · February 2010

I'm Nicole. DH and I have been together for 8 years and married for 8 months. We started TTC on 1/1/2010 and got pregnant after our first cycle of trying. It was perfect timing with the EDD during my vacation month. We started off the pregnancy with a very light positive line when we got a BFP and the line never got darker. We're going to TTC again after my first normal cycle. Glad that all of you are here for some support though!!

Also you ladies have been my rock while I have been dealing with our loss. I honestly don't know how I would have gotten through it if it wasn't for the support of this board! I hope we all get our Sticky babies very soon!

mdm2137 · February 2010

Hi, I'm Misty. I have been with DH for 7 years (married for 2 1/2). We were TTC for 6 months before I got my BFP. I have endometriosis so I was relieved it didn't take that long to conceive (even though it felt like a long time). At about 6 wks, I started bleeding. I went to the ER and was diagnosed with a subchorionic bleed, but the baby was fine and I got to hear the h/b. The doctors told me I *should* be fine. Two weeks later, I went for another ultrasound to check on the bleed, and sadly, the baby didn't have a h/b. I had a D&C on 1/19. Can't think of anything else you should know, except I couldn't have survived my loss and the month after without you ladies!

mrs.pooks · February 2010

DH and i have been together for 10 years and married for almost 4.

We are still TTC # 1 after suffering a loss at 12 weeks a few years ago. We hope it happens for us soon! (and everyone else here for that matter)

lindseyenderson · February 2010

Hi! I'm Lindsey. I've been with my husband for 11 years and married for almost 6. We have a 2yr old daughter. Lost our 2nd baby missed miscarriage at 13 weeks and have been waiting a ridiculously long time for my hcg to drop (since Nov.) It's finally down (as of yesterday) and I have the green light to TTC. I'm both terrified and excited to get pregnant again.

jdmiller28 · February 2010

Hi, my name is Jennifer/Jenn/Jenny - whichever you prefer.

I've been with DH for almost 5 years, and 1yr 4mths of marriage

We started TTC in October and were pregnant a week or so later; had a BFP on Nov. 13th (1 week after my 30th bday). On 2/5 we found out that my aminotic fluid was gone; on 2/14 i gave birth to a son at 17wks preg. We will probably start trying again in April or May, depending on where we are emotionally (but I think we'll both be ready).
