Secondary IF

Intro - Hi, I'm Kate

Hi all, I finally updated my avatar and signature, so I'm ready to join this board. Not sure how active I'll be, especially short term, as I'm waiting on a mmc to complete.

My wonderful DD is 2.75 and she is such a cool little person. We've been TTC#2 since she was about 7 months.

My siggy covers most of it, but basically I was super thrilled to get a BFP while I was waiting for AF with a prescription of Clomid ready to begin.

A week and a half ago I had some spotting so we moved my dating ultrasound up to a week ago (instead of today) and it basically confirmed that instead of being 12 weeks along, I am going to have (or already had, depending on how you define it) a miscarriage (no HB, meas 6w4w). I'd rather have a natural m/c rather than a D&C or pills, so now I'm just waiting. I may change my mind though.

It's so hard to focus at work!

We're hopeful because after lactational amenorrhea for a year, followed by wonky 60-94 day cycles (my lmp was techinaly Jan 31), we thought we weren't able to get pregnant on our own. and then we did, but now we're not. Or I guess I'm in limbo between pg/notpg.

Hugs to all,

Kate

    Kate, good luck with the MMC - such a hard decision to make and time to be in.  I hope that it happens naturally very, very soon.


    I just wanted to let you know (since I had such a hard time with it) that there is information about updating your signature here on TTGP: https://forums.thebump.com/discussion/12047702/need-signature-help-click-here/p1

  • Got the siggy fixed!

    The reason it didn't work is because I only edited the "my forums signature" under "change my avatar"....which has nothing to do with the signature that shows up.

    The link above took me exactly where I needed to go - to the REAL signature form under preferences!
