New here...Just telling me story
Hi Ladies...I am new to this community and have started to read some of the posts. I think this is just the site for me. All of you are so upbeat and optimistic about the future which is exactly what I need. I have been part of the miscarriage forum and seem to remain depressed on that site. This site gives me new hope now that my husband and I are trying once again. My story is this: Started trying for our first child January 2009. Finally conceived in August...went for our 13 week checkup and heard a healthy 160 beats per minute heart beat...started spotting brown at 15 1/2 weeks...called the doctor several times and they told me everything was fine...at my 17 week appointment the miscarriage was confirmed...I was devestated...I had a D&C on December 23....my period finally arrived January 27th and lasted for about 12 days....My husband and I have now just started that long journey of TCC again. We are going with the strategy of just doing it everyday...I am tired of trying all of the other crazy meothods.
I am sorry for your loss. You really have found a great group of women, they have kept me sane through losing 2 pregnancies.
From all that I have read every other day is just as good as everyday..when I got pregnant the last time we hardly BD'd and really didn't BD around the time I thought I was ovulating. Just goes to show you TTC is very unpredictableand happens when you least expect it.

I think my dh is feeling the stress more than me on bedding everyday. I back off a little after CD20. We attempted to only try during my ovulation cycle before my miscarriage and we finally got pregnant when we did it everyday. I am hoping the same thing happens this time minus the miscarriage of course.
Hi ! This is a great group stinks that we have to be on it but it's great
I am sooo sorry for your loss and what you have to go through. This group really helped me get through my dark place that I was in, the ladies are such a great group and are like family, dh and i are trying again and hopfully we will conceive soon.
I was on the miscarriage forum and found it very depressing also.

We look forward to getting to know you too :)
It can be scary to TTC again after such a loss. There are just a few things for you to keep in mind. A m/c, especially a latter one like yours can often screw up your cycles for several months afterwards. We have seen it often here. It will take a while for your body to get back up to speed again, so please don't be too diasappointed if it doesn't happen right away. And secondly, often times, men grieve differently then we do. They don't say the things we want them to say; they don't act they way we expect them to act. But that doesn't mean that the loss means any less to him. It took me months to get some emotion out of my DH and that's when he finally broke down and shared some of his feelings with me. Men are just wired differently then we are. So make sure to keep the lines of communication open with him and not get too frustrated. He is grieving, just in his own way.
Always feel free to vent here, ask questions, chat or share your opinion. That's what makes us all "family".

Thanks ladies for the warm welcome. I look forward to getting to know all of you.
Welcome!! This really is a great group!!
Im so sorry for your loss, its never easy, however it does help so much to have such a wonderful group "family" of ladies that have a lot in common!
I to used the m/c forum and found that all it did was depress me more as well, after so long you really do need something/someone else to get you going again!
Good luck and we are all here!

I'm sorry to hear about your loss :/
I too had a missed miscarriage back in July last year, and life seemed to go downhill from there. I have been TTC for awhile and found the m/c site first, was on there for about a month, venting to ease my pain. Then I realized I had signed myself up for this forum previously, and jumped on board about a week ago. These ladies are really wonderful and uplifting, I'm so glad I found this site.

I'm so sorry for your loss. This group really is truly wonderful and I'm happy to get to know you. This group gives you that strength you need to keep going forward and if you are having a bad day, they let you vent; however, you will feel better so fast just listening to the wonderful replies that you just can't stay down too long! I hope that I can help you in the same way so many others have helped me in this group. Good luck to you in your journey!!
Bridgette,
That sounds great. I have had tremendous support and love being a part of this "family" of women that seem to have similar questions and concerns. My husband has been dealing with all of this very differently than I have. Being ex-military he has been conditioned to not show emotion or tears. It is very frustrating to me that he simply moves on and says we will just try again....uggg! I just really love knowing that I am not alone. Thanks girls.

Welcome. I'm glad you found our group. It is the natural progression out of the m/c forum.
I am sorry to hear of your loss but you can be assured that you have found a fantastic place for comfort and support.
As Lori said, feel free to jump on the cycle buddies thread. I need to start a new one soon and if you would like I can put your name on the list too.

Hi! Welcome to our group! I'm so sorry for your loss. Many of us women started out on the m/c forum and once many of us were TTC Bridgette(bam1014) came up with this group, we all agreed that it was better this way as not to offend the new women on the m/c forum. I still visit that forum and try to help if I can. We do alot of chatting on the Cycle Buddies thread, so jump in anytime! Give your info(cd or dpo) and Bridgette will get you on the new list. Lori
