Hi~ I'm new here. We have 3 children 11 9 & 5. We conceived #4 in Dec. 08 and found out I was pg in January. Sadly, I went in for a routine ck a l ittle over a week ago and they couldn't find the heartbeat. I was devastated... I went in the next day and delivered our little girl. Its so hard!!! I'm on the roller coaster of emotions right now. We are determined to try again- hopefully soon. I was 14w 3d at my appt but I'm not sure how far the baby was at this point. We find out later this month all of the test results. I'm just really sad. I've never m/c before and wish it didn't happen to any of us. Anyone else feel like it was over for them after m/c? I hate that feeling! ugh!!! We think we will be blessed again..hopefully sooner than later.  Looks like there is a lot of support on this board- ++ stories too. Thanks!!!

Hello and welcome. I am new here too. I miscarried in March and we are planning to TTC again once I am ready and of course after AF arrives. I am still bleeding after the miscarriage and am not sure if it is just the norm (I miscarried a week ago) or if this is AF starting. I dont see my doctor till Tuesday. I have been on the roller coaster with you! It is really sad, you feel cheated to think you are pregnant and then to lose your little baby. For me I was 10 weeks when I took the cytotec and miscarried at home. I ended up in the ER with the worst pains ever though. Luckily things are getting better, physically at least.
If you ever want to talk let me know.

Welcome to our board. I'm sorry about your loss. I m/c last year with my first pregnancy. My first thoughts were that I was never going to put myself through that much pain and anguish ever again. I felt cheated that my first pregnancy ended in loss while drug addicts carry their babies to term! Trust me, it does get easier, but you have to grieve on your own terms. Take time to mourn your loss.
This is a very supportive group. Feel free to ask us anything!

I'm so sorry for the loss of your baby
I'm Penelope, DB is J, and we have one angel. We're WTTC until an unknown time, and the waiting is really hard for me right now.
I hope you find what you need here. Looking forward to getting to know you!

Welcome, sorry for loss. We will all be blessed to be pregnant again. We have to stay positive about that.
I'm Susan, I m/c our first and only pregnancy at 17 weeks, we found out Sarah passed at the end of Jan. This is the beginning of our second cycle of TTC.

Welcome (although it is always unfortunate to welcome new members of our club).
I m/c our first at the beginning of March. I was 7 weeks along. I miscarried naturally at home. I feeling of being cheated lessens as time goes on. So does the sadness and the anger (or whatever else you are feeling). Everyone's experience is different but you need to make sure you take time to feel what you are feeling. And take care of yourself.
You will find there is great support and even greater comfort on this board... it comes from knowing you are not alone and we are right there with/for you!

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss!! Your siguation sounds very similar to mine. I also have 3 kids, 9, almost 6 and 18 months. We got pregnant in Dec. and were due on Sept. 14. Everything was great untiil I went in form my NT scan at 11 weeks 3 days and found out that the baby had no hb and was only measuring 8 weeks 4 days. I had never expected to hear that. I didn't know what to do with myself. I had to take meds to induce a m/c, because my body just wanted to hold on to the angel for who knows how long. Talking about it has really helped me tremendously and we are going to try again this cycle.
HUGS to you and good luck ttc. Hopefully your stay here will be short and sweet!

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. My name is Kelty (41) and my DH (43) and I have three boys ages 13, 10 and 8. We lost our little angel in October 2008. I was devastated. I can only imagine how you feel after losing your little girl. I can't say it gets less painful, but, you do feel better over time. I hope you are doing OK. This board is wonderful for support and comfort. I gained so much from the wonderful women here at TTCAL. I know you will find their caring words comforting as well. I'm glad you are going to TTC again. And, you'll know when it's right. DH and I are expecting our new little miracle in October. I look forward to getting to know you and I hope you jump right in and get to know us, too! Welcome to the craziness of TTCAL
You and your family will be in my JM prayers!

It is such an overwhelming feeling! I am sorry for anyone who has to experience it. All I can do is tell you that after a miscarriage in March '06 we had our wonderful daughter in December. Unfortunately, we are currently reliving the pain with another miscarriage 2 weeks ago. Three years ago I sat at my computer and cried as I would write on the just mommies message boards. It was the best outlet.
I guess for me with this second miscarriage, it was still just as sad but unfortunately there wasn't the same shock as with the first one. I learned that a lot of women have been through this and the great news is that it is possible to go on to have a beautiful, healthy baby.
I will be thinking about you and watching for your updates. If you are having a bad day and just need to say, "AHHHHHH! I am sad." This is the place to go. You'll be welcomed with open arms. I know I was.

I know how you feel. I m/c Christmas day this year. At first I was ready to call it quits because I never wanted to go through the pain physically or mentally again. It did ease up with time, and my longing for another baby overtook my anxiety. I will never forget what I lost, and some days are better than others. This board is great, everyone is very supportive, upbeat and encouraging here, and have the same goals as you.
I'm sorry for your loss.

So sorry for your loss. I was 11 weeks at our reg. appt when we found out the baby had no HB. I had a d&c the next day (2-14-09) It would have been baby #6 for us. I am now on my 1st cycle TTC.
