DH and I got our first BFP in March with an EDD in early November. Drew came Oct. 22, there were complications with the labor & delivery process, I don't want to tell the story again right now... But after 5 days in the NICU he passed away. So just recently. DH and I aren't looking to replace Drew... It's just that we've been wanting a family for almost two years now, and we still want our family... We have a son, he's just not here with us. He'll always be a part of us... But we've decided to jump right back into TTC. If we had our way I wouldn't even get a period, we'd be pregnant and ready to announce around Christmas. (We're "early revealers" I suppose.) So, hi everybody.
(Also just want to say that although Drew looks like he's sleeping in my siggy pic, he's not. It was taken about 15 minutes before he passed.)

Jan. 2009: Came off years of BCP and started TTC
March 2010: BFP -- finally!
Oct. 22, 2010: Drew is born, but has to stay in the NICU because of cord complications resulting in oxygen deprivation and brain problems =(
Oct. 27, 2010: I held him in my arms while Daddy, Grandma, Great-Uncle and I sang him to sleep =( Hardest thing I've ever done...
June 14, 2011: Drew's baby brother or sister waved hi to us with a BFP!
June 25, 2011: Natural miscarriage... Can we please catch a break here?
Nov. 2011: 100mg Clomid followed by 2mg Estrogen, Ovidrel trigger, and 200mg progesterone suppositories 2x/day 14 days. BFN.
Dec. 2011: 2nd medicated cycle. BFN.

March 2012: 75 IU Follistim CD 3-11, follie scan CD 8 showed 6 follies likely to mature. Triggered, IUI on CD 14, 4 million swimmers. BFN.
April 2012: 75 IU Follistim CD 3-10. Scan showed 2 mature follies, 2 almost certain to mature, and two not likely but possible. (All 6 evenly and perfectly spaced out between the left and the right.) Triggered, IUI CD 13 with 5 million swimmers. BFN.

I am so so sorry for your loss.  I cannot even imagine what you are going through.
I had a loss very early in my pregnancy at 8 weeks on 9/29. I understand you wanting to ttc again right away cause I feel the same way.
Sending you tons of hugs and hope your stay here is short lived!

My Cora was stillborn at 38w due to a cord accident. I would have been like you and not even waited if it weren't for the fact that I get so incredibly horribly sick while pregnant. There were 5 months between Cora's birth and Erin's conception.
Like you said, Erin wasn't to replace Cora, I just wanted a baby to hold so desperately.
I hope you get your bfp quickly.

Sorry for being mia so long! We were out of town for Drew's memorial service and I haven't been at the forums. Thanks for the welcomes and well-wishes. It's bittersweet being here, obviously we'd all rather be in PRs or DDCs, but it's nice to have a community of women who can relate on this level. Hoping for BFPs for everyone, and looking forward to our journey together <3

Erin, I'm so sorry about your loss of Andrew. We lost our little boy, Matthew, at 23 weeks on July 1st- he was due 10/27 and we're on our first TWW of trying to conceive his little brother/sister. I hope you get into a DDC again soon!
