I always lurk in this room...ocassionally I will post something if I feel drawn to a topic. But I don't quite "fit" in this room at this stage...but still like to check on the ladies in here and jump for joy when it happens for them

I'll be back in a year or so...

I miss you too, a lot, but I'm still not wearing my big girlie panties and it's becoming tougher to see others moving on. I feel like I'm stuck here with super glue

I'm happy for all of them don't get me wrong but I want so much to say I'm pregnant as well

I wish I could help you hun I really do. I've been here over 3 years now. I can say I'm at the point I'm truly happy when I see ladies graduate. It does sting when I see them leave after only a short time but I push past it. Your turn with come hun

I know and I would love you see you announce your bfp as soon as possible.

I'm starting to give up Katie :'(

I have a lot of maybe questions;
maybe it is not meant to be, maybe I would be an aweful mum so that's why God doesn't want to give me any kids, maybe I don't deserve to have kids, maybe I would not love them enough..

It will be soon 2.5 years of trying now and I feel like I'm still on step one - only now I'm not as naive as I was back them. All my friends right now either have children, or have a new born or are expecting. I'm the odd one out and I feel sooooooooooooo jealous. Not even after the m/c was so hard to deal with an 'I'm pregnant' news

Bleh I wish I could knock some sense in me at times.

I'm here. I always lurk from time to time, but I'm not wearing my big girl panties either, so I don't post. Signature explains it all.

I am guilty of lurking. After my loss this summer we discovered I had a thyroid issue that I am currently dealing with. I can't start ttc until at least March, so I just lurk and send good thoughts everyone's way.

About a year after my first loss I was at that point. I wanted to just give up and say we weren't meant to have a child... but I can't give up on this dream. I will be a mom some day. It might not be when I want it to be, it might not be how I want it to be but I feel in my heart and soul that it will happen and I'm not going to give up without a fight. I know with my PCOS and Endo I have a long road ahead of me but if I give up I'd be more depressed than I am right now. I am here if you ever need to talk. ((HUGS))

Stephanie I am so sorry for all that you have been through. It's not fair and I wish I could take you pain away. The pain and loss you have had to endure is unthinkable. Please know that I'm here for you as well. ((HUGS))

I'm sorry you can't try until March. Hopefully when you try now that your thyroid issue will be taken care of you will get your BFP. Please feel free to post until then too

I know how hard it is for you as well. I have endo and pcos as well, plus diabetes and high bp. At times I feel like a ticking time bomb about to go off.

I'm not giving up, even though it hurts, but I want to have a baby too much. It's just too hard dealing with ppl getting pregnant easily and me being in the same place all the time. Next time it will be a year that we made our little fulinu (little bean)

I'm Mia, and I'm a lurker. I'm technically not TTC yet since I'm still waiting for my body to process the latest loss.

A brief history... When I was 36.5, we started TTC. 2.5 years later, I conceived my daughter. In the interim, I had three losses. First pregnancy, we saw a weak heart beat, but a week later it was gone (missed ab). Gave my body several weeks to realize the loss, but eventually took cytotec vaginally. Second time, all we saw was a yolk sac (blighted ovum). Again, my body didn't clue in after several weeks so I took cytotec. Third time around, I was waiting for my period to start so I could take clomid. It was way late. They brought me in. Positive pregnancy blood test, but I bled a few days later (chemical pg). Went on metformin for insulin resistance, started walking nightly, lost 25 lb, eventually got pregnant with my daughter. She's an awesome 2-year-old. In June, I finally convinced hubby to try for one more kidlet. I'm 41 so our window is small. I was lucky enough to conceive on my third cycle. Turned out to be a blighted ovum. I'm spotting now, but haven't bled significantly. I'm hoping my body will figure out what it needs to do soon.

I'm not really feeling that sad right now. I'm mostly just feeling impatient. I want my body to get back to baseline so we can try again.

My name is Kira and I lurk on here quite a lot keeping up with all you wonderful ladies. I comment some still, as well. I spent all my time on JM on this board when I lost my first in July of 2009. It took us nearly 2 years to conceive our miracle. She's still growing and happy and healthy.

Don't lose hope ladies! Everyone here will have their happy healthy rainbow babies. It's just a matter of time. <3

((HUGS)) I am so very sorry for your losses. Please feel free to jump right in with us. It helps talking to others going through what we ourselves are going through. I hope that your body does this naturally.

I'm lurking. But mostly because I'm *trying* to chill out this month and take it easy. LOL. I can't stay away from JM though!

I've been posting here and there in the last week, just because I have such a new loss, but I've mainly been lurking. I almost feel guilty because my loss happened very early in my pregnancy, and I know that so many of you ladies have had much more significant losses. Just reading your posts, though, has helped me a lot.

I guess I could officially introduce myself. I'm Adrienne (32), and DH is William (31). We've been TTC #1 since July. We succeeded on our third cycle, but I had an early m/c on 10/4 (at 4 weeks, 4 days). I'm so grateful that it was early, but my emotions have definitely spanned the gamut from grief-stricken to just plain angry. I'm feeling pretty good about everything right now, especially since I had my follow-up appointment with my doctor yesterday. I should know later today if my hCG is back down to 0 and if I'm in the clear to TTC again. My level was only 8 last Tuesday, so we figure I'll be okay.

Just wanted to say hello and thank everyone for their advice.

You shouldn't feel guilty coz no matter when the m/c happens you would still have loved ur little baby with all ur heart and soul.
