Hi ladies, for those of you that don't remember me, I'm Marti. I just had a baby boy but with our history of loss I thought that we better start trying soon just incase it takes us as long as it did to get our little Christmas miracle Jackson. Here is a little about our journey...

Our first loss was a missed miscarriage, I needed a D&C and the pathology report showed that it was a partial molar pregnancy. I was very lucky and my hcg went negative in a month.

Our 2nd loss my progesterone level would not rise over 15 even when my OB kept upping my prometrium dose. At one point I was taking 300mg twice a day. We saw a heartbeat at 7 weeks but the baby had passed by my next u/s the following week. I stopped the prometrium and miscarried at home.

In October of '09 we TTC with clomid in hopes of catching a "stronger" egg. We got a BFP the first cycle and everything was going great. I had a little spotting around 10 weeks but nothing bad. We saw what looked like a perfect baby at the NT scan at a little over 12 weeks and we thought we were finally going to have our baby. We got the bad news that the blood portion of the screening came back bad and that it was very likely our baby had trisomy 13 or 18, both of which are not compatible with life. CVS confirmed that I was carrying a baby girl with trisomy 18. I had a D&E at exactly 15 weeks. Worst day of my life...

We decided to TTC (with clomid) right away after we lost Lilly and thankfully we got a BFP our first cycle. That resulted in our beautiful rainbow baby Jax, who is 10 days old today. He is perfect

We plan on TTC as soon as I heal up and am able to DTD again. I am breastfeeding so I know that I most likely won't ovulate, but stranger things have happened so there's no hurt in trying. I'm just hoping we don't have to go through 3 losses again before we have a 2nd. That is one of the reasons I want to jump right back into TTC just incase it takes us another 2 years.

He's beautiful Marti!! And I think that's the fastest turnaround I've ever seen! lol 10 days, wow. I hope you have a few months before getting pregnant again, but not a really long time. There were 5 months between Cora's birth and Erin's conception and that second pregnancy was really physically hard (and I didn't have another baby to chase around!). But what I hope most is that you don't have any more losses.

CONGRATS.
I breastfeed my daughter for 2.5 years and did not have a A/F for 9 months (that was great to me). But I have a couple friends with kids less than a year apart because they thought breastfeeding was a good birth control... SUPRIZE to them..lol
Good luck in your TTC #2 journey... you are brave it will be like having twins if you get pregnant right away.
