Hello Everyone! I am really sad to be joining here, but hope to find support. My husband and I just lost our baby.  We have diagnosed fertility issues. I do not ovulate well enough and he has vericocele which has really damaged his sperm. We were able to conceive on our own with our first (took us about a year) and we were able to conceive again with our angel baby.
The Dr is going to put me on Clomid my next cycle and my husband has repair surgery scheduled from the first week in June.
My name is Anna (26) and DH is Jon (29). We have one beautiful daughter named Bella (16 months).
I look forward to getting to know everyone. I hope that I can find some comfort here. My body and emotions are still going through so much after losing the baby. I would rather never get pregnant again then loose one again.  Hopefully things work out a lot better next time.
I plan on waiting until my next period comes to start trying again but thought I would introduce myself and start getting to know everyone.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Losing a pregnancy is heartbreaking, and I can totally relate to your feelings on never wanting to go through it again. But this board is full of amazing women who are wonderfully supportive. Welcome!

Welcome to the boards. Everyone here knows your pain.  You are in a good place.
The urologist found a cyst on one of my hubby's testicles and it has affected his sperm count. We were lucky though that we can still conceive even with his lower sperm count. So I feel you there.
It'll be ok. You'll get that baby.

I am so sorry for your loss! (((HUGS))) I know exactly what you mean about not wanting to do it again. Everybody said you can start ttc when you're emotionally ready. I thought that was interesting because, emotionally, I am certainly ready to have another baby. Emotionally though, I have no idea how I'd handle a m/c at this point. (((HUGS))) again.

Anna, I'm sorry to hear about your sweet baby  I'm very glad you decided to come here though. Lots of women will come here even while they're still waiting to start trying again, and I'm glad you feel comfortable enough to do that. I look forward to getting to know you!

I felt the exact same way after my loss...for a couple of months I couldn't even imagine TTC again for fear of the grief in losing another. As you heal emotionally & physically it will get a little easier (still scary, but a bit easier)
I wish you the best of luck as you TTC again...
