Hi my name is Megan and I am married to a wonderful man, Mick, and we have a 8 month old daughter, Hunter Simone Mickayla. I found out I was pregnant July 23 and although it was soon (my DD was only 6 months) we were both very excited. I started to get sick and then it tapered off, which should have concerned me as I was sick with my DD and with a past pregnancy when I was younger (a long story). On August 21 I felt a gush and ran to the bathroom and I was bleeding. My DH was working 2.5 hours away and I have no family in town so I called my BFF and she came over with her 4 month old to watch my daughter so that I could go to the hospital. They sent me home and I had a natural miscarriage that night. When they gave me an ultrasound 3 days later, there was nothing left

My Dh and I are ready to start again, although I know that I should wait for at least 1 if not 2 cycles, we aren't using any protection. I just can't help feeling that the next time I get pregnant I am going to stress out and not enjoy my pregnancy, like I did with DD.

Anyways, that is my story and I am hoping that I can get to know you all and that everyone gets their BFP's and have healthy and happy babies down the road

It's never a happy thing to have a new TTCAL member, but all the same, welcome!!!


Everyone here knows the feelings... hopefully very soon you will graduate to the PAL group... it's true that things aren't the same after a loss. But you are in a good safe place, vent and obsess all you want here

And many of us are TTC a bit "too soon" according to what "they" say... including me!! So you're in good company
(I'm actively TTC on my first cycle of full health after my blood loss, weight loss, weakness, etc from my ectopic bleed & surgery - I was told to wait until I'd had 3 "normal" cycles in a row - last one was definitely abnormal - I obsessively OPK'd this cycle and I am currently 3 DPO)

[Micksbabe]

Thanks for the welcome!! I know it isn't going to be easy, but I am sure that I will find great support from ladies that have been here as well

Sorry for your loss..I hope you get a sticky bean soon!

I'm sorry for your loss. I just had my 1st AF and also feel ready to try again despite the fact that I've been advised to wait (because of another issue). Dh and I have talked about waiting until December to try again, but I can't help but feel like I want to start trying right now...

My baby fever is just killing me...

[Banned-a brand new laura]

I know what you mean about the baby fever. I watched my niece this past weekend, who was born to my little sister when she was 17, and the baby fever only got hotter! Sometimes I mourn the fact that my little sister got pregnant unexpectedly, and I have to try for my first. She was just saying, "I can't believe how I'm like fertile Myrtle! I just try once and I'm pregnant!" She had a loss a year ago at 13 weeks along, but the baby died at 7 weeks. She didn't know she was pregnant and the medication is one that shouldn't be taken when pregnant. An ultrasound at 11 weeks showed no heartbeat and a 7 week developed baby... Anyway, she's still very much into partying and spending time with friends. My parents raise and care for the baby more than does she. If I lived close, I would help raise that beautiful baby... anyway, here's some for you and some for everyone else too.

It's not an easy journey, but for me I've learned that it's a lot easier when we go it together.

I know how you feel. We are waiting until January to TTC but only because, like you, the last pregnancy was conceived when DS2 was only 6 months, and I would like to have more time to enjoy my baby as the only baby - while he is a baby still. I wanted to TTC immediately though, and really I would have except for my fear that it would happen again if I did not give myself time to heal physically and mentally. I am quite terrified of getting pregnant and having another miscarriage, but I think that just like everything else pregnancy and childbirth - its hard, but all more than worth it when you hold that baby in your arms. I am willing to take that chance - and I will come to the boards for support when it gets scary. We are all here for you! : ) I will pray that you conceive a sticky bean!

[Micksbabe]

Thanks ladies, I know it is a scary though to get pregnant again and have to worry about what might happen. I wish it didn't have to be like this for any of us. I pray that each and everyone of you will hold a baby in your arms and I am thankful that I will be able to go through this journey with other women who have the same feelings that I do

[KDD]

Megan I'm glad that you found your way over here. I truly mean it when I say it that this board was my saving grace after my loss!

Your loss was early so you should be okay to start TTC right away. I always say that whenever you are emotionally ready to try again is the right time.

Good luck - I hope that you can make Hunter a big sister soon!

[tobi4]

Welcome to the board Megan. Im so sorry for your loss, I hope you get your bfp quickly! Good luck!

[HopefulMommy81]

I'm so sorry that you had to join us here, but I hope we can give you the support you need and you can move to a DDC and the PAL board soon!

[ohnicole]

I am so sorry for your loss, Megan. But welcome to the board! This is a great group of ladies

[Micksbabe]

Kim - thanks so much!! I am glad that I decided to post over here, it has really help the healing to start

You ladies are wonderful, thank you for the warm welcome (even though it is under such sad circumstances)

[Halfbaked]

Welcome to the board. Your loss sounds a lot like mine. I was supposed to go back in but miscarried naturally and when I had the U/S they went on and on about how "empty" it was. They also told me to wait 2 cycles but I didn't. I'm hoping I'll be pg in 2 cycles, not waiting. My first few kids are also close in age. I had a chemical pregnancy after my first then got pg the next cycle with my second. I hope you have the same luck.
