Stepping out of the Shadows-Intro

in TTC After a Loss

Hey ladies,

  Thought it might finally be time to introduce myself.  Smile  My husband and I got our BFP back in August on our first month of trying.  Unfortunately, it wasn't but a week and a half later when I miscarried.  We got the go ahead after one cycle to try again and have been since (minus a month I was having some non-TTC related health issues).   I've been lurking for quite awhile (since probably November/December) but never introduced myself because I kept thinking, "It will happen to us soon."  Well, it (obviously) hasn't and we just passed our estimated due date the Monday after Easter.  So I am hoping that y'all will allow me to finally join you.

  A little about me:  I just turned 31 (this week) and DH is 32.  I work in the tax field and DH is a farmer.  In my spare time I love to bake, travel and watch college football (especially my LSU Tigers!)  We also have four fabulous furbabies who are keeping me sane through this entire process.

  I look forward to getting to know you all.

 

BFP #1:  8/10/11 EDD: 4/9/12 Natural miscarriage @ 7 weeks: 8/20/11
BFP #2: 8/31/12 EDD: 5/18/13 Chemical pregnancy: 9/4/12
BFP #3:  5/17/13  EDD: 1/24/14 Loss at 5 weeks: 5/29/13

Lots of testing, all clear with the exception of compound heterozygous for the MTHFR mutation. 

Cycle 1: Femara, trigger shot, Bravelle added due to slow response = BFN
Cycle 2: Cancelled due to two cysts =(
Cycle 3: Femara, Bravelle, trigger shot and IUI = BFP then loss #3
Cycle 4: Femara, Follistim, trigger shot and IUI = BFP!  EDD: 6/7/14

    Welcome to the board. I am so sorry for your loss.

    Please take some time to look through our blog (Link is in my siggy in Green) It is full of useful information Big Smile

    Hope your stay here is short and sweet

    As far as your siggy, what did you use to get the picture code (Tinypic, photobucket, etc)?

    Welcome to the board, I'm sorry for your loss!  I too waited to post for a long time thinking "maybe this month is my month".  I hope your stay is short and sweet!

    Regarding the siggy pic, I tihnk you have to go back to tinypic and resize it, but I'm no expert.

    Thanks ladies!

    VikingQueen, I definitely learned from my lurking to make sure and read the blog (which is fabulous by the way!)  Wink  But it would probably do me good to do a refresher read so thanks for letting me know!

    I used Tinypic for the photo code.

    lol everyone can use a refresher every once in a while.. I actually went back in read it not too long ago and I've been here forever it seems Stick out tongue

    I'm not too familiar with tinypic.. I know you can go and redo it in  tinypic for a smaller option or you can change the numbers on the code you already have.. but liek I said I'm not too familiar as I use photobucket. Maybe someone else can chime in with it Big Smile
