TTC After a Loss

Confession of a Lurker (Intro)

I must confess, I've contributed to the views and not the responses for the last week or so.  I'm ready to come out of the closet now though.  On November 19th, I went in for my 10 week appointment and found out that my baby had no heartbeat.  The little one measured 9w4d at 10w2d.  I had a D&C last Monday.  I'm completely heartbroken.  I was so excited about being a first time mom, and now I'm empty.  I'm waiting for my first period before trying again but I would really like to hang out with all of you lovely ladies while I wait to join in on the TTC fun, if that's okay with all of you.

Just a little about myself....I got married in July to my DH.  We're both 27 and live in IL with our doberman and kitty cat (pics in signature).  They're one of the few things to make me smile over the last week and half. 

I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you better over the coming weeks!

  • My story is similar and my dates are as well, but my D&C was on 11-10-10. I was 9 weeks 4 days my LO stopped growing 2-3 days earlier. I must confess that often I don't reply to threads I read because I can't decide what I want to say.

    Because of the great "Snow"vember of 2015, my medicated cycle was cancelled.  However, we were blessed with our little rainbow baby due on 8/14/15!  Baby J had other plans and decided to make his grand ole entrance on 7/4/2015!

    Surprise!  Our little girl entered this world on 12/8/2016 after her eviction notice was long past due.  Our little turkey baby turned into a snow baby!
