Although I am not TTC and dont think I will be anytime soon..

Background on me..

Im 24 from Ohio.I have had 2 miscarriages and have no living children. I had my first loss in 2003 at 13 weeks. I opted than to not have any tests ran so I dont know the cause. I had to have a d&c.
I had my second this past February. I was around 10 weeks when I had my d&c after recieving test results the pregnancy had ended at around 6 weeks. I had been pregnant with a girl!!! And the reason for the miscarriage was trisomy 16.

I am currently single. I left my ex when I found out I had lost the baby and was waiting to miscarry naturally.. Waited 2 weeks and ended up having to have the d&c. He was the father of my first loss too.. We had seperated when I was 18 after my first loss and had not seen or spoken for 5 years. Found each other through facebook, reconnected and ended up getting pregnant with my second. He had some serious issues with drinking and just had some issues that I just wouldnt tolerate.. So here 5 months later Im still single and more than ready to start dating again but its just not happening.. I refuse to meet another man in a bar and thats about all thats really going on around here.
Im just so ready to meet someone and move on with my life... Im aching to start TTC again.. I so badly wanting to get pregnant again and finally bring home a healthy baby!! I mean its on my mind 24/7!!!!!!!!!!!! And knowing your single and cant makes me want it that much more LOL..
Soo if you all dont mind Im ready to venture outside of the pregnancy loss board!! lol

Welcome! I am sorry for your losses, and your douche bag ex. Hopefully you will find someone wonderful soon.

Have you considered foster care? My DH and I are considering fostering until we conceive. I think it gives you an outlet for your maternal feelings...

[BrandiJeane]

Wow.. fostering hadnt even entered my mind.. i know its something i want to do later down the road but hadnt thought about it here recently! def. something to give some thought!!

I am so sorry for your losses and about your issues with your ex. The fostering sounds like a great idea! I hope you find a way to distract yourself from that desire to TTC! Welcome to the board!

I'm so sorry for your losses, and the problems with your ex. I think fostering definitely sounds worth a look so maybe it'll give you an outlet for the mothering desire you have, until you are ready to ttc.

Hi Brandi,

I am sorry for your losses. I know all about "the bar scene"... Have you tried any of the online dating sites? I dated a few nice guys on pleanty of fish dot com and 2 of my uncles met and got married using one of the pay sites. I think it was match.com but not positive.

[BrandiJeane]
