Trying to Get Pregnant

I guess I should introduce myself

So I have been lurking for quite a while now... and finally decided to actually make an account, and then just recently began commenting.

I have been doing more lurking today, and came across a post of "rules" that members of the board would like to have in place... one being that newbies should introduce themselves to other members of the board.

So here it goes. I am 23.. turn 24 this month.. WOO! My husband and I are high school sweet hearts and have been together for over 8 years! In 2009 we FINALLY said "I do" and that night began "not avoiding, but not preventing". It wasn't until about Oct of 2009 that the TTC started. Although, at the time I didn't know just how much TTC entailed (i.e. the charting and whatnot). It took some time and November of 2010 (two days before Thanksgiving) we got our BFP! We were so happy, and it was even more exciting because my BFF who lives a very very long way away was in town for the Holidays and she was able to experience the happiness with us. Things were going along great.. minus the INSANE morning sickness and the fact that baby was on my sciatic nerve, causing a lot of discomfort.

Until the day we went in for our anatomy scan. My mom works for the school district and the appointment was during spring break.. so she got to go with me, and my sister took off from work to go with me since my DH was unable to leave work. We went in to the u/s and immediately I could tell by the actions of the u/s tech. I was supposed to be 18 weeks, but baby no longer had a heartbeat and based on measurements, the baby had stopped developing around 16 weeks.

My DH and I both did not take this very well. I had to be admitted into L&D and have my labor induced to deliver my undeveloped baby. The hardest thing in the world is going into L&D, delivering, staying over night, and leaving the next morning empty handed. For a while, I thought I would never recover (mentally).

Took about 4 months of me grieving before I finally wiped the floor with myself and said snap out of it! (All of this happened in March, was due in August). It was around the time of LOs EDD that my DH and I decided let's try this again. So we are back to TTC!!

Anyways, that is my TTC background. I will give you a little bit more information about me: I am a full time student (graduating in May.. YAY!!) and I currently work full time. It works out perfectly that a EDD will not be until June or later at this point, so (barring anything unusual) my graduation will not be affected. My current job is not one I will be keeping after graduation so new job will depend on a pregnancy or what not.. a bridge we will cross once we get there. 

Well, I guess that is really about it. I don't have much time for hobbies.. I guess TTC is my current hobby!! LOL! 

Just want to say good luck to all the TTCers out there, and I am looking forward to getting more acquainted with you all!

  • thanks everyone for your condolences. It is nice to be apart of a community that many members either know how I feel, or fear what I have gone through. It truly is a pain I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies. I try to remember what happened as a motivator and not dwell on it.  I don't tell my story for sympathy (which an ex friend of mine accused me of) but instead I tell it because the events changed who I am. I am a completely different person. 

    Thanks for welcoming me! Good Luck to everyone again!
