So DH and I had a talk last night about where to go from here, and we both agreed not to actively try to get pregnant again, at least for awhile while I try to focus on other areas of my life and lose a few pounds. I was leaning towards avoiding ttc altogether for a few months, but he was leaning towards NTNP. Thinking about it today, I think we'll go with NTNP after this cycle. The scarcity of our bd sessions when we're not actively trying is almost like birth control as it is  , so it likely wouldn't happen for awhile, anyway. Right now I'm scared of the idea of getting pregnant again. Anyway, I guess my point of this post was to see if anyone here is also NTNP, or is everyone actively trying? I just don't feel as comfortable with the regular NTNP board, as most of them haven't experienced loss. You ladies were great support while I was trying. I don't want to catch baby fever again, though.

Hi Missy, I see you changed your siggy a little today, too. We can be NTNP buddies. How are you feeling today?

I am good... Just hanging out and taking it all one day at a time. After 4 losses I have gotten really numb to all of this, or maybe going through a numb stage. Bleeding is surprisingly light but the cramping is annoying. I have some Valium I can take if I want. Didn't sleep good at all last night so may take one tonight so I sleep. Last thing I need is to get over emotional right now because I am overtired.
Yeah, I changed my siggy. I think DH reacted out of pain when he said we were done TTC. So we are going to NTNP for this cycle then talk.
How are you sweetie?

Well if you've been here before, you know we're a bunch of chart-stalking POAS-pushers, so there's no guarantee you won't catch the fever hanging around here!  Nice to meet you, sorry for the loss of your little one  I look forward to getting to know you better.

Thanks Katie and Erin.
Missy, today's been a rough day for me in spurts. This m/c has been tougher emotionally than the last one because of the way it occurred, plus today was supposed to be my u/s and the day we originally planned to tell the kids. The cramps are pretty bad today and are a painful reminder of what happened. My bleeding isn't too bad, either, considering. I've got to get it together tomorrow because I need to go back to work and only one person there knows what happened. Thinking about the future and about getting back in shape is helping. I'm glad your dh had a change of heart. Mine kind of had the opposite reaction and is more anxious to try again than I am.
