TTC After a Loss

Intro (with Treats!)

Greetings ladies!  I come bearing Banana Pumpkin Nutella Swirl Bread from my blog. 


I think I introduced myself a few months ago after we experienced our mm/c but obviously wasn't ready to TTCAL quite yet.  So, I'll reintroduce myself now that my 2nd AF has started yesterday which means we've fulfilled the doctor's orders and can start TTC again in the coming weeks :).

My name is Christine and as you can see from my siggy, DH and I have a single angel baby which we lost in an early mm/c.  It took us 6 months of TTC and was our first pregnancy.  We have been married for over 4.5 years and had jokingly told people we were on the "5 year plan" to children.  Our baby would have almost exactly filled that plan and with the loss of him (I believe it was a boy but we'll never know for sure), I never realized how much not being able to plan/being set back bothers me.  Especially after now 3 of a group of 5 of us friends are now expecting within months of each other (unplanned), I feel extra alienated and alone.

We're eager to begin TTC and I look forward to getting to know you all!
