TTC After a Loss

Intro--tell me if I belong?

Hi all, I don't know which board I belong on right now. I had 2 confirmed MC (and one suspected one--it was very early and I never tested) in December 2014 at about 7 weeks and in August 2015 at about 5.5 weeks (the suspected was June 2015). My doctor did some blood tests on myself and my husband, and he has an abnormality that can cause first-trimester MC. Right after we got these results I found out I was pregnant again...I was fully expecting another MC and was just waiting for it to happen, and then had a successful 8w ultrasound and now have a beautiful 17 month old baby.
We are just starting to TTC again. It's so scary. I just got my period today so I know I'm not pregnant with month #1 here (we weren't trying hard, so it's not surprising, although I'm still disappointed...but also relieved, because as much as I want another baby the BFP means about 4 weeks of waiting for either a spontaneous MC or the ultrasound which could be good or bad news). I figure this board might understand the desperate want of the BFP coupled with the fear of if it will be viable or not.
Most people TTC are just waiting for the BFP, but to me that's just the first step. I can't go to the infertility boards because my history has no problem getting pregnant, it's staying pregnant that's a problem. And don't think I'm supposed to mention the MC on the regular TTC board. But I'm not sure if this board is the right place because I had a baby between the loss and now--is this alright?

Welcome and I hope your stay here is short!
*TW - child mentioned*
I have one living son who is just over 18 months old now. I’ve been TTC number 2 since December of last year, and had a loss in late July.

You’re certainly in good company here, so welcome.

I have a child and lost a child very shortly after birth. Not a typical story (thankfully) by any means but find that the feeling expressed by these ladies often mirror my own, despite different reasons for the feelings.

I have a 3 year old and an 18 month old. We've been ttc since January and have had 2 losses in that time, in March and September.

I have a 2yo son. We started trying last year and I have had 3 miscarriages since. We're just getting off the bench since this Summer, so I too am going through the wanting a BFP so bad, but terrified that I will have to go through this again.
