Hi Ladies, I am coming back "home" after an absence. So many new faces out there...and that's a good thing because it reminds me how many "graduates" have left this board.
A little about me....we had 2 losses before finally getting pregnant with our son. Those losses changed me forever. There was the before and now the after. I was in a really dark hole after my second loss and this board help me keep my sanity.
Anyway, we are ready to TTC #2. It's a very scary thing for me....to know that losses happen and can happen again. With Emmett, I couldn't really embrace the pregnancy until I was almost 6 months pregnant.....we hid the pregnancy from almost everyone because I was too scared. I have PCOS and a minor clotting diagnosis (MTHFR) working against me but I won't let those get me down!
I have a journal on this board if you want to read more about my story.
Now I just need a cycle ticker, right?

holy crud Liz, I just rejoined here too and you turn up!  Great to see you back here - it would be awesome to end up in a DDC with you this time around!!!
And sheesh Emmett is a cutiepie! You'll have to fill us in on how everything is going with you these days too....
You def. do need a ticker (i'm living vicariously since i'm not temping this go around) and where are you in your cycle now???

Welcome back. I'm sort of new to JM, but have had 2 losses, one before DD was born and one this past August. Hope your stay is short!

How's this cycle going? Are you charting or using OPK's?

No charting, probably no OPKs. I'm counting this as my first cycle, but mostly I'm just trying to see how long my cycles actually are. I made my ovulation ticker based on my cycles when we got pregnant with E (so, yeah, they could be way off).

Hey there Liz! I just started lurking here because we will probably start ttc again after the first of the year! Emmit is so adorable! I cannot believe I am planning Bourne's first Birthday party already.

Kat - you are going to try again? How exciting!! Are you going to do IVF or try without meds for a while. Wow - He is almost 1 already?

I remember you Kat! Congrats on your sweet little guy, our boys have the same middle name. I love seeing all the faces come back around (of course I'm always kinda sad that it's here versus the "I don't have to TTC , I just think it and it happens" board). haha.
