TL:DR I'm Alex, I'm fun, I've had three losses and am a one tubed lady and recently decided to take a 6 month break
I'm Alex.I have been lurking here since my first mc in November of 2013. I feel like I know you all in a weird creepy internet kind of way.I have had two more losses since then and have finally decided it's time to intro. I am currently home recovering from surgery. I had undiagnosed ectopic pregnancy and my left tube burst, luckily I was at work, and I was able to be taken into surgery very quickly. So here I am 3 losses in, down a tube, and pretty much feeling like crap.
A little bit about me, we live in the midwest, I am RN and I work in L&D.
I love food and alcohol, snuggling with the pups and hubby, football and reading. I also am kind of a nerd and desperately wish I was sitting in a theatre watching the Hobbit battle of the five armies.
I have been with dh for 7 years married for 5, he is an attorney and we met when I worked on the ortho floor and he had a torn ACL with some BP management problems after surgery. He bugged me the whole night for my number, and then sent flowers to the floor everyday for a week. I moved in with him 2 months later. He is my best friend and I hate seeing him sad. I think the reason I finally decided to intro was that we just had a talk yesterday about taking a significant TTC break, we just need a mental break it has been a shitty 13 months. I got my first BFP in September 2013 went in for my 12 weeks appointment, baby was measuring 11 weeks and had significant nuchal fold and a very low heart rate, baby passed 2 days later I had a D&C the following day. We took a 3 month break. Next pregnancy March 2014, bleeding started at 8w. US showed 6w fetus. Took the pill had miscarriage at home. Most recent pregnancy I was 7 weeks, Had an US at 5w6d didn't see anything but I wasn't 100 percent sure of my dates, so we decided to wait a week, my appointment was the day after my rupture. So we are on a hiatus, for at least six months. I need some time to heal my body, heart and head. My OB gave me a referral to an RE so that will be our next step.
So I am happy to meet everyone, and sad that we all have to be here.

Oh, good job by your husband with the persistence
Great avatar! Love Arrested Development. And because I'm curious, what are you a long time listener of? Your title makes me think of the Dan Patrick Show.
