Hi all, another newbie here
Firstly I am so sad to see how many people there are who have suffered loss, my heart goes out to you all.
I am 29 and DH and I have been ttc for 18 months now, over that time we have lost 3 babies at 9, 11 and 14 weeks gestation.
Doctors can't find any reason for the recurring m/c and so we keep trying. I am at the stage where I am totally posessed, every waking (and sleeping) our is spent agonising over ovulation, twinges, temperatures etc etc. So far its just been one bfn after another, I just hope its my time soon.
lots of love and baby dust to everyone trying to make their dreams come true xxx

Welcome! I'm so sorry to hear about your losses. This board has been great for me during my time of TTC obsession and incredible anxiety now that I'm pregnant again. No one in my real life understands or even wants to hear about ovulation, cramping, symptoms, etc. I hope that you too will find this board to be a supportive and informative place to hang out during this time.

Thanks everyone for the welcome, its great to see everyone being so supportive of each other!
In fact, reading these replies made me cry which I HOPE is another sign that this month we hit the jackpot but in reality its probably just lack of sleep!!
Today I think I am around 6dpo (haven't charted this month, DH and I are trying to wing it to see if less stress HA!! makes a difference), I woke up today with a sore throat and feeling very hot and bothered. Again I am agonising over the symptoms that may or may not be there.....the 2ww never gets any easier!

I'm sorry for your losses
I'm Denise your co-host here, i have suffered 3 losses as well and they are unexplained. What testing did your dr do for your losses? My dr did a lot of blood test, and an HSG and then everything was normal and she referred me to and RE to talk about IUI. Good luck and i hope you get your sticky BFP soon!

Thanks everyone for making me feel so welcome!
I have a lump in my throat just reading how many of you have been through the same thing or similar, it just never seems fair!
Denise, I am sorry you have been through so much. After my second mc I had an HSG and lots of bloods, we had the same after my third. Nothing was out of the ordinary, we also had DH's swimmers checked out to see if they were in poor shape but he is fine and dandy too. I am definately ovulating every month and am in good physical shape, there just doesn't seem to be any reason for it.
Part of me thinks all this is good, there are no red flags coming up on the med charts but then part of me thinks that if nothing is wrong then why does this keep happening....part of me is terrified to conceive again but thats normally outweighed by my desperation to be a Mummy, I am sure I am not alone when in that.
(your girls' are adorable btw, Athena's smile would melt a heart of gold!!)
For now I guess I just keep plodding on along with everyone else until the time is right.....

I am so sorry to hear of your losses, but nonetheless, welcome to this fabulous board!
I had a loss last October at 13 weeks and we've been trying since last December. It gets so hard to see those BFNs month after month, I totally feel your pain! Alot of us are going to get BFPs for Christmas (because I said so, lol) and I bet you'll be in that BFP boom with us.
Again, welcome and I look forward to getting to know you better

Thanks Eribabe, I am sorry to hear about your loss and I totally feel your pain with trying month after month - we have been trying 18 months in total, its not easy sometimes!
A BFP is probably just about the best Christmas present most of us can imagine so if I can't have it before then I will wait till Dec!!  )

Hello. I am new here, too. I am so sorry to hear of your losses. I have only experienced one and can not imagine the pain of multiple ones. I hope that it happens soon for you. I will keep you in my prayers.
