Hi everyone! I just found this board and it's been a huge help. Monday I lost my pregnancy at 7 weeks, after 2 very normal very healthy pregnancies prior to this it was a shock to say the least. My boys are 14 and 10, I didn't have any real plans to have a third but now I've remarried and rethought the idea. I had my IUD removed after 9 years in June and it took me forever to get a positive test. There were a few times when I could have sworn I was, but AF would arrive.

So here I am, bewildered and sad...reading through the posts has helped though. At least I know this emotional and hormonal roller coaster is normal. Thank you all!

Kate, I'm so sorry for your loss. Are you coping ok? I was really depressed for several weeks after my loss, so the ups/downs you're feeling right now are totally normal.

You're very welcome to join us here - it's a great group of ladies who have provided me tremendous support over the past several months, and I hope you find similar support here!

Welcome! I have a 13 year old, a 10 year old, and an 8 year old. My fourth PG was not planned, and ended in a m/c. I always wanted at least four. I was devastated. I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm glad you found us. You will find that the women here are truly wonderful. I don't know what I would have done without them...this is the place I can say exactly how I'm feeling, and I know that they understand.

I hope you're doing OK. And, I look forward to getting to know you better! If you feel like it, join us Monday night in the chat room. It's kinda crazy. But, you will truly see how wonderful these women are.

Hi Kate! I also had two perfectly normal and easy pregnancies. So, when I got divorced, and met Nelson...and later tried ttc, I thought it would be easy and very quick. So, after many months of trying, when we finally got our bfp in Oct. I WAS ELATED!!! We ended up miscarrying a week later. Meanwhile, I had told EVERYONE! I was devistated!!! To make things worse, I ran in to people for over a month, that I had to tell the story to, because they would congratulate me. I am soooooooooo glad you found us. This is a FANTASTIC board, and I mean that. I wish you rapid emotional and physical healing and a super fast BFP!!!!

welcome.
im so sorry for your loss. after normal pregnancies it can be even more of a shock to you.
i had the IUD and even though i only had it for 7 months before it decided to fall out it took a couple of cycles for me to become regular and i tcc for a year with 3 losses before i finally got pregnant and stayed that way for more than a few days!
i pray you get your healthy baby soon but the girls here are wonderful (which is why i cant leave) and they offer a great support
xx

Welcome to the board and I'm so sorry for your loss. It is an emotional rollercoaster, but these ladies could get you through everything!

Kate. I'm so sorry about your loss. I don't know if I would have coped very well after mine without this board. As sad as it is, it's nice to have a place to come to where others know how you are feeling.

Thank you EVERYONE! It feels better just knowing I'm not alone in this experience. I seem to be finally physically getting back to normal...the bleeding is a lot slower and the cramps are finally gone. I feel like I can start exercising a little again too...I'm not quite so exhausted. Emotionally I'm a bit better, I was actually able to pay attention to the DH last night and not want to curl up in a ball when he touched me, much to his relief.

I was thinking of starting to chart my cycle. Is there a certain point in it when you're supposed to start? If you start mid cycle, how do you know where you are to plot it in the correct place?
