Hi ladies!
I've decided I'm ready to come back to this board- I've been posting on the regular TTC board for a couple weeks but I miss you ladies here, and honestly, it's so nice to have women who can empathize a little more with the emotions of TTC after a loss.
For those of you who don't know me, I'm Jacque...hi! DH is Jason- we're both 29, Jason will be 30 on the 1st. We have had two CP (early m/c in my opinion- I hate the term "chemical pregnancy") and were very excited when we got a sticky BFP February 18th! Unfortunately, at my level two ultrasound (also gender u/s), it was discovered that I had low amniotic fluid. Eventually, this became no fluid. I had tested negative for my water breaking but eventually they determined this is probably what happened- this happened around 17 1/2 weeks. Because of this, our little Matthew never had a chance for his lungs to develop- and they never would. I had to be induced at 23 weeks due to the probability that I was getting an intra-uterine infection which would then make me unable to have any more children. Our little Matthew was born on July 1st at 23 weeks 1 day weighing 1 lb 1 oz and measuring 11 inches. We miss him more than I thought possible. I got my first PP AF on 8/7 and am starting to chart again. We will probably be starting to TTC again next month- it's advisable we don't wait too long though my OB said to wait about 3 months- the way my cycles are, this will be about 2 1/2 months- we are thinking we will be skipping October because that was Matthew's month- he was due October 27th.
Well, I hope to get to know you ladies more (or get back in touch with you)!

I'm glad to see you here Jacque...I too used to post on the regular TTC board, but it's hard to relate to so many there after you've had losses IMO...I hope you don't have to TTC long and you get a BFP right away

[HopefulMommy81]

Thank you, Megan! I do enjoy the regular TTC board, but for some things, it's just better/easier to come here....I used to host that board so it will always be a special place for me, too

Hi jacque! i still pop in over here from time to time.

[Brittanie]

I didn't find JM until after my loss, so I've never really posted on the regular ttc board.

Anyway, I hope you get your bfp quickly!!

Hi Jacque. I am so sorry for your losses. I remember saying prayers for you and your little one. I know many of us were thinking of you.
I occasionally post on the ttc board, some of the ladies I remember from this board! I always come back here though, as well. Its my home away from home it seems Anyways, welcome back, I hope you get your BFP quickly!

Hi JAcque... I am sorry to hear about Matthew.. He is beautiful. I love your siggy.. I hope you get a quick BFP.. I found it hard to go back to the TTC board after my first loss.. HUGS!!

[mlyster]

Hugs Jacque! As much as it saddens me that you are back here without Matthew in your arms I am glad you have ventured back for the support this group will give you as you go through this process. I still post here from time to time (even though most of the ladies likely don't know who I am) because I know what it's like coming back here time and time again. The ladies here are fantastic as usual and together we will all get through this tough journey.

Jacque biggest hugs to you lady!

I never want(ed) to say this, but welcome back sweetheart... it's good to see you and that you're gathering the strength with DH to try and conceive. I'm so so so so extremely sorry, certainly prayed hard for y'all.

How are you doing Jacque? How are ya feeling?

I'm glad to see you again sweetie!

[HopefulMommy81]

Thank you so much for the warm welcome (back) ladies! Sorry I couldn't say that this weekend- I can't post daily unfortunately because of my work schedule- I work nights 3 nights a week (average) and ever since getting pregnant with Matthew I am much more tired after work than I had been before! I thought that would change recently but it hasn't yet....
Celena- I'm OK, hon....depends on the day if I can say "good" or not. I was doing really well for a week or two then I had an appt with the geneticist and while I only got good news, I think it brought the raw emotions back up, so it's been more difficult since then, but we're getting through it- I hate that phrase, but I don't know how else to put it. How've you been hon?

[.:Shortcake:.]

Hugs hun! I am so sorry for your loss of your son. Welcome back to the board (I hate having to welcome anyone back ykwim) Praying you get a sticky BFP soon.

Hi Jacque and welcome (back) to the TTCAL forum. I hope you get your BFP very soon!
