intro (possible trigger alert)

in TTC After a Loss
I am prematurely joining this board as I finish healing physically from a d&c and wait for AF. I found out we were expecting baby #2 on march 8 after ttc for 6 months. Saw a healthy baby at 8 weeks 6 days and had more pregnancy symptoms than I ever did with DD. The week following my appointment my symptoms started to diminish but still had some symptoms and knew it was normal for them to come and go so I ignored it. This entire pregnancy I just felt more uneasy than with my DD which I attributed to it having taken us longer to get pregnant (DD was an unexpected happy surprise after a miscalculation of how many days it had been since my period). With DD I just knew from the beginning she was a girl and I couldn't explain it, this time, I was just so nervous and didn't feel as connected to baby. So, I go for appointment #2 at 12 weeks 6 days thinking we had broken out of the 12th week only to not be able to locate a heartbeat and find that baby had stopped growing at 9 weeks 5 days. I was heartbroken but not in shock. It was almost like a confirmation of how I had been feeling. I had a d&c Friday may 8 that has been uncomplicated thus far. I am so hopeful that this was one instance of chromosome mess up and we will conceive a rainbow baby soon. This hope is what is pulling me through my sadness so I have been lurking on this board and made some posts so I thought I should introduce myself. I recognize a lot of names from the loss board and have received so much support over there. Sorry for the rambling long intro. Praying for us all on this journey for our rainbow babies.

    I'm here prematurely, too. But I'm on CD37 and 17DPO, so AF owes me bigtime. It's nice to see names I know moving to this board. I can't wait for the first BFP from someone I know from the loss board.

    I would be going crazy by day 37! My doctor gave me the time frame of 6-8 weeks to expect AF but I think they like to prevent people from worrying if something doesn't happen the earliest it possibly could. So, I am strangely hoping I get AF sooner than later for the first time ever in my life. Haha I hope she shows up for you soon @CarrieandRoy

    My cycle is usually 26 days and I ovulate on CD10, so I totally assumed I'd be an early bird.  Nope!!!
