Introducing myself, m/c mentioned

Hi Ladies,
My name is Sarah, and I am Mommy to an adorable 2.5 yr old boy named Josiah. He will be 3 the beginning of September. I found out I was pregnant with #2 the day after Easter, and we were so excited. We had been trying for 8 cycles to get pregnant. When I saw my dr. later that week, she had some red flags go up and decided to send me in for lab work. My first Hcg level was 33.5 the Wed. after Easter, that Friday it was 60, so I was feeling encouraged. They had me come back in the following Tuesday for a 3rd blood draw. That afternoon, some maternity clothes I had ordered came in the mail. I was in the process of trying them on when the phone rang. The nurse at the dr's office said that my 3rd Hcg was 25, and that this was not a viable pregnancy. They sent me in for an ultrasound that afternoon, and it confirmed that there was nothing there. I started bleeding the Thursday before Mother's Day, and everything was over by this past Tuesday. I am finally starting to feel like I'm back to normal physically... I was so incredibly exhausted the week I was having the m/c. I have had several long, hard cries over losing this precious little one. Now, I'm looking towards the future, and can't wait to TTC again. Our OB has recommended we wait 3 cycles before TTC just to give ourselves the best possible chance of a healthy pregnancy. DH and I are in agreement we want me to have at least one cycle before we think about TTC again. I hope you don't mind me joining in from time to time... I am the co-host of the Aug. 08 PR, so I don't have a lot of time to frequent other boards, but there are days when I feel like I really just need someone to talk to about this whole "process" who understands exactly what I'm going through. Looking forward to getting to know you a bit better.
