After popping in yesterday to say hello, I realized just how much I missed all of you and have decided to come back! I probably won't be on here quite as much as I was before, but I will do my best! There are A LOT of new people here since the last I was active, and I would like to say I am so sorry that you are here.. but very glad you have found this board. It is full of so many amazing and wonderful ladies who helped me more than I'll ever be able to explain. ((Hugs)) to all of you.
For those who don't know me, I'm ash! DH and I got married June 30th, 2012 and got pregnant for the first time on our honeymoon in August 2012. I had never been pregnant before, but I was incredibly nervous and excited. On October 22nd, at 10 weeks 4 days we heard the heartbeat for the first time. It was 170bpm and our doctor told us it was a very strong heartbeat and at that stage in the pregnancy our chances of miscarriage were 1 in 100. We had an ultrasound scheduled the next week on November 1st, just at the cusp of being 12 weeks. We were so excited. However, when we went in for the ultrasound, our baby no longer had a heartbeat. We didn't know what caused it, and since it was my first and only pregnancy/miscarriage no testing has been done. We didn't know the sex of the baby, even though I had been calling him he since day one, so we decided on the name Riley since it was gender neutral. I miss our sweet baby everyday.
I didn't handle my miscarriage very well. I thought I was getting better, but our EDD came and it got worse and it caused a lot of strain on mine and DH's relationship. We hit a rough patch around our first anniversary and were on the brink of divorce. I made an appointment to see my family doctor and she prescribed me a low dose antidepressant.. and let me tell you, they worked wonders for me. If you are experiencing signs of depression PLEASE don't be afraid to talk to somebody about it or see a doctor if you need to! Long story short, DH and I worked through our problems, and now the both of us are happier than we have been in a long time.
I'll rap this up because I've rambled enough.. but I look forward to getting to know all of you ladies, and catching up with some of my old friends on here. I hope everyone has a great weekend!! xoxoxo
Welcome back, Ash. So glad that things are going so well for you. I hope that this is a short stay once you to decide to TTC again. It's so nice to see you around the board!!!

Welcome back to the board. I'm one of the newbies here. I'm sorry you went through such a hard time, but I'm glad you're doing a bit better now. Are you actively TTC right now and are you allowed to TTC while still on antidepressants? I stopped all my meds prior to TTC and now I've been thinking about going back on some, but I thought they weren't considered safe...
@meladoriestar I am not currently actively TTC and haven't talked about TTC while on the medication. DH and I have decided to wait for awhile and, honestly, it's probably for the best. If you are looking to get back on them I would talk to your doctor about it. Maybe they could find something for you that is safe while TTC? Good luck!

@meladoriestar I hope you don't mind me butting in...I used to be on antidepressants, and I went for a consult with a psychiatrist prior to TTC. I ultimately decided to go off my meds, and I'm doing fine, but if you are feeling like you want/need to be back on them, I definitely recommend talking to a doctor, because there are several meds that are considered safe to take during pregnancy. My doctor basically said that they can't say any of them are 100% safe, because nobody does studies on pregnant women, but the belief is that a) they present minimal risks and b) untreated depression in the mother is also not healthy for a baby, which is why they sometimes say the benefits outweigh the risks. (This does not go for ALL antidepressants, just to be clear).
