TTC After a Loss

Intro-new to the bump

Hi everyone! I'm new to the bump and wanted to intro here.

My husband and I are going to start TTC after my first af post d&c. I am 5 weeks out as of this past Tuesday and just started getting negative pregnancy tests today... It has seemed like forever. 

A little history---

My husband and I started trying for a baby after we were married in 2010 and I was diagnosed with PCOS a year later and my husband has a varicocele. In 2012 I conceived but the pregnancy resulted in a blighted ovum and I miscarried around 6 weeks. 4 years later and I now have 2 beautiful girls. I found out this past December I was pregnant and in February I went to the hospital for spotting and they couldn't find our baby's heartbeat. I was 15 weeks but baby was measuring 11. I was heartbroken. My water broke the next day and I delivered her at home but had to have a d&c to remove the rest of the tissue. We had her cremated but getting to hold her and say goodbye has really helped the grieving process... But I definitely have had my ups and downs. 

My OB gave us the go after one cycle so I am impatiently waiting for it to come. I've been cramping like its about to so hopefully soon... It's a weird thing really... Testing to get a negative and hoping for AF. Not a fan. 

I'm sad to be here but from what I have read it seems like everyone is super supportive and helpful, so I am thankful for that!
