TTC After a Loss

Introduction

Hello Everyone,  first and foremost, I want to say that I am so sorry for everyone's losses here.  After lurking for a while and reading your blog, I am ready to introduce myself and hopefully become a part of this community, if you'll have me.

I am 28 years old, my husband is 34.  We were married in August of 2011 and received our first BFP last June.   We were told we were miscarrying on 6/24/13 and the pregnancy was confirmed as ectopic on 7/8/13.  I had three doses of methotrexate on 7/8, 7/15 and 7/22.  This was terrible and very painful, but I was lucky that I did not need surgery and did not lose either of my tubes.  After months of grieving and giving my body time to recover, we are finally ready to TTC again in the New Year.

DH and I both work at the same company (actually on the same project team lol), so we spend most of every day together (it works for us!).  We also spend a lot of time with both of our families and our yellow lab puppy.

Thank you for taking the time to read, I am looking forward to getting to know you all and provide support, encouragement and lots of thoughts and prayers wherever I can.

Married Aug. 2011

BFP #1: 6/9/13; (EDD: 2/14/14); M/C: 6/22/13; confirmed ectopic: 7/8/13 (3 doses MTX: 7/8/13, 7/15/13, 7/22/13)

Re: Introduction

  • I am so sorry for you loss. I, too, had an ectopic, but it resulted in the loss of my tube. I am sorry you had to deal with that, as it is quite scary. Welcome and I hope you are able to find some peace. This is a wonderful place to give and get support. ((Hugs)) and I look forward to getting to know you!

  • Welcome to the board - I am so sorry for your loss. That methotrexate is nasty stuff.  I know how sick it can make you feel.  I am glad you've had time to heal and are ready to move forward. I hope you find all the love, strength and support that you need here.  (((HUGS)))

  • I’m so very sorry for your loss. My cousin went through the same thing, except she lost on of her tubes. She had a very difficult time with her lose since they didn’t find out it was ectopic until almost 14wks. She took her time as you did and was able to conceive once they started trying again. So never lose hope! I hope that didn’t offend you or anyone, I just wanted you know that anything is possible!

    Hang in there! ((hugs))
