Tell us a little about your journey: I am blessed to have an incredible DH of 8 yrs and we have an amazing 4 yr old son. We began trying for baby #2 in fall of 2010 and with each angel we were pregnant after just a month or two of TTC. My fist lost was so difficult I felt like I was going to die. My heart was so broken and my body was too. 6 months later I got the courage to try again and lost another precious angel. This last loss was an ectopic pregnancy and I dealt with the guilt of having to take methotracate to terminate it. I was just about to give up trying and then I found all of you ladies. Your stories and words of encouragement have helped with my emotional healing. I feel so empowered and determined and I'm not giving up hope, I am "blieving4more" children and hope to be carrying my rainbow baby this year.

Tell us a little about your journey: I have 2 kids, Kelly & Lyla. All of my losses have come after them. It's very perplexing. I recently discovered that I have 2 genetic blood clotting issues, which could be what is causing the problems...
Tell us a little about your journey: We have one DD, Eliza 2 1/2. M/c'ed around 7-8 weeks in October. Having been trying since with crazy cycles and 2 non ovulatory cycles.

Tell us a little about your journey: DH and I started TTC in February 2008 and to our surprise we got pregnant the first month. We had a couple of u/s's always showing what we didn't want to see, at 8 weeks, they did the final u/s and there was still no hb, so I had a D&E, we waited after my first AF and decided to TTC again, again, to our surprise, we got pregnant right away. We had our 1st rainbow baby March 3, 2009. We decided to NTNP starting early 2011 and I was pretty sure we kept missing my O time, but I wasn't charting or using OPKs. I found out I was pregnant in June right before going away on a business trip. I made my first appt while I was away, got home, had a horrible illness (not m/s), saw the doc, they did an u/s when I thought I would be about 6w and a few days, we saw a hb, I had my first appt at about 8.5 weeks, again, we saw a beautiful baby and a hb. We started telling everyone, I went away on another business trip right before 12 weeks, had some minor spotting, when I got home went for an u/s and that was when we found out we lost that baby as well. I had another D&E and we learned that the baby had Monosomy X, aka Turners Syndrome. We, again, decided to TTC after my first AF and I am now 28 weeks along with what I hope to be my 2nd rainbow baby.

Tell us a little about your journey: Decided to start trying for baby #2 May 2011 & had my IUD removed. Waited 2cycles to get my "stuff" back in order. Started trying in July with a bust. Got my BFP next cycle on September 11, 2011. Miscarried naturally and with a DNC on October 25, 2011 at 9weeks & 3days. Waited after first cycle to try again. I am now on cycle 6 post MC with no BFP yet.
Tell us a little about your journey: We got married August 1, 2009. We started ttc our first February of 2010. I m/c December of 2010 at 7w 4d. I had a lap to remove a cyst in January 2011. The doctor found endo. I went on the lupron depot shot for six months. We started ttc again in October 2011. I had a chemical pg February 2012.

Angels/Angelversaries: Baby Boy 8 weeks, Sept 10, 2008. I call him that because of a dream I had on what would have been my due date.
Tell us a little about your journey:Originally we were going to TTC once we'd been married 5 years, Baby Boy was an oops 3 years early. DH changed his mind 4 or 5 times after our loss and lastly refused giving a new TTC. Just recently for adverse reactions I was taken off BC. DH is NTNP but I'm more TTC. Really hoping this will be a lucky month for us since April 23 would be when Baby Boy would have turned 3.

Tell us a little about your journey:We have been TCC for what seems like forever. We finally have figured out how to get pregnant and we are now on our quest to find out how to stay pregnant. 1st loss was a chromosomal accident (per my doctor's words); the second loss was the result of a growing sac which stayed empty; and my last loss was due to an ectopic. We just got the green light yesterday to start TTC again due to my being given methotrexate for the ectopic. Hopefully we get our rainbow baby soon. Good luck to you all in your journey.

Tell us a little about your journey: Got P with my DD within 3 cycles in 2009. Natural pregnancy, no problems, and loved being pregnant. We waited for a little while before trying for #2, because, well...being a new parent is quite an adjustment! Plus, I was breastfeeding and working a full-time job in addition to being a new mommy. We started TTC last August. I finally got a BFP in January, but had a m/c on 1/27/12. Gestational sac, no embryo. I wasn't devastated per se (it was still so new that I hadn't allowed myself time to get attached), I was more just really really frustrated at having to start over. Last cycle was our first post m/c cycle, and this is our 2nd post m/c cycle. I'm POAS this week, and I'm SO excited...

Tell us a little about your journey: We've been TTC since August 2010 (when we got married). I've been trying to convince DH to get an SA since we've been TTC so long. I had a *feeling* that I was pregnant around my birthday 03/24 when I had a spot of pink and then another on 03/27. Later that evening on 03/27 I DTD with DH and started bleeding but not a lot to be worried about. I was planning to test on Friday 03/30 because for some reason I couldn't wait. That Thursday I started bleeding and was upset because AF was a week early. Then came the cramps, clots and heavy bleeding. By the time I was able to see my doctor there was no HCG but I know in my heart I had a m/c. Not too upset because I didn't have enough concrete evidence to get emotionally attached. Just hoping we can get a BFP soon.

Angels/Angelversaries:Angel lost on February 19, 2011
Tell us a little about your journey: My pregnancy was a surprise, but we were so thrilled instantly. When I started bleeding at 6w, we were devastated. We waited after my first AF and then started TTC. It's now been over a year and still no BFP. All of our tests have come back normal so I am stuck with the dreaded "unexplained infertility". I'm in a shaky status as far as employment goes right now, but once things start working out, we will go forward with IUI. Until then, we will still TTC naturally.
Name/Age: Erin, will be 28 at the end of this month.
DH/SO/BF: Zach, 25.
Angels/Angelversaries: See siggie

TTCAL long-timer. I am almost always lurking, but go through phases as to whether or not I'm posting. As of right now, I'm back to being somewhat active. Just can't seem to stay away <3

Tell us a little about your journey: DH and I have a 2 year old (pregnant on first cycle trying) and started trying for another in Jan. Got pregnant on the first cycle again, but lost it a little under six weeks. It all happened naturally and I'm at peace with it. Rhank goodness it was early, im more than sure i wouldhave been devastated after seeing a heartbeat and move around. Now trying again! We know I can get pregnant it's just having a sticky one is the goal. Side note, my cycles range from35-50 days sucks, but I at least know (can feel) when I ovulate.

DH/SO/BF: L 29
Angels/Angelversaries: 8/10,3/12
Tell us a little about your journey: We have girls We were trying for a boy. For both angels I have a feeling they were boys. I am accepting that having a boy is not meant to be. At this moment I do not want to ttc again. Maybe later.
Angels/Angelversaries: Currently going through a loss
Tell us a little about your journey: My DH and I have a handsome young man together who is 14 years old. We were completely and happy with our little family but a little over a year ago we started feeling like our family was incomplete. After a year of actively TTC (BBT and OPKs) we went in for infertility treatments we had our initial intake appointment where IUI was discussed and decided to take that route, and just needed to wait until AF started so we could proceed. Well, when AF was a couple days late I took a HPT and was very surprised to see my BFP. Unfortunately, this pregnancy led to a miscarriage. My DH and I are planning on TTC again as soon as possible.
Tell us a little about your journey: After 2nd loss OB ran RPL tests and I came up positive for Factor II mutation (2% population have this) and elevated levels of anti-cardiolipins...both increase risk of m/c & stillbirth. As a result of that diagnosis i'm now under care of an RE who also diagnosed me with progesterone deficiency, so I take a protocol of Clomid + Ovidrel + Prometrium in addition to baby aspirin to try to raise my progesterone levels. Once pregnant, I'll move to taking daily injections of Lovenox (blood thinner) to address the Factor II & anti-cardiolipin problem.

Tell us a little about your journey: We started TTC in September, taking an actively NTNP approach. We were shocked and excited with a BFP in January. March 15th when we went in for our first Doppler at 11w 5d, there was no heartbeat, and we learned it was a missed m/c. I had a D&C a few days later, and now I'm waiting for AF. (There's a lot of waiting involved in this, eh?)
Tell us a little about your journey: We have been married for almost 6 years. We were so excited to get pregnant the first time (after only a few months). The pregnancy seemed fine until I stopped feeling the baby move in my 36th week. That was the worst day of my life, because I found out that our only child would never make it into the world alive. We have been desperately trying to conceive again, but we have only had two early losses. We are currently working with an RE to help us have the baby that we want so very badly.
