TTC After a Loss

Room for one more?

Hello all, I'm Em. DH (R) and I began TTC in May. M/c at about 9 weeks in September. It was a missed m/c, so we found out at the first ultrasound. A D&C was done the next day.
We began TTC again as soon as we got the green light, and got good news 1st of Dec. Went to the ER on the 18th - it was ectopic and my fallopian tube had ruptured. Still recovering form the surgery, but MIL came for a visit and made of ton of Chinese remedies, so I'm feeling much better. We're hoping the 3rd time will be the charm.
Right now I'm feeling kind of butchered (had my appendix out in between the two pregnancies), so part of me feels like it's nuts to want to get back to trying soon. However, we are very much ready to be parents and will start when the doc gives me the go ahead. Hopefully "leftie" (my remaining tube, as I'm now affectionately calling it) is up to the task!
Y'all seem like a good group of folks and I'm relieved to find a place where support is the order of the day - but doesn't necessarily come saccharin sweet. I've read the blog and hope I can offer the kind of support you've unknowingly offered to this former lurker.

Welcome to the board! I'm so sorry for your losses and the procedures you had to go through.
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!
