Hi everyone! 

So as you can see in my signature my DH and I had our first son in Sept 2011. We conceived very quickly, easy delivery, etc. Last year, we started TTC again. I had 2 miscarriages at 12 weeks, in May and again in Nov. Because of the miscarriages, we both went through the initial fertility tests. As far as me, I just have long cycles (so I have irregular ovulation and my CM is irregular) and I have long luteal phase disorder due to low progesterone (which explains the two miscarriages as I'm don't make enough to sustain the pregnancy). My hubby had a semen analysis. He has a low count (18 million) but good shape and motility. I started BBT charting to at least confirm ovulation so I know when we can quit BD under pressure.

I'm just wanting support. I really want another baby, but I'm scared of having another miscarriage. And scared of not being able to get pregnant again. Anyone else have a similar situation, or at least conceived under difficult circumstances?

    Welcome.  I think the board Trying for a Sibling will be a better fit for you, most of us on here have an infertility diagnosis and are pursing major IF treatments.  Best of luck!

    Yes, I'm sorry. I was looking at boards to join and I was reading the intros but I must have clicked on the wrong board. Good luck to everyone here.

    I'm sorry for your losses.  I think it is completely normal to be scared of having more losses and trying again.  There is an after loss check-in on TFAS so definitely check that out.  And off the boards I find Still Standing Magazine to have great resources and articles for TTCAL and all things loss related.  Good luck.

    I am sorry for your losses. I found myself in a similar situation with two losses last year. These lead us to our RE and now we realize we are dealing with something much more significant than we thought. Have you scheduled an appointment with an RE?

    Your DH sperm count is actually not too bad, anything about 10 million is considered high enough for a natural conception. I would ask about taking progesterone supplements after ovulation and see if that helps. Best of luck.
