Hi Girls,
I normally post on the Grieving board, but I am moving over here to introduce myself. My name is Carolyn and I am 31 years old, DH is 38. We suffered our first m/c with our first pregnancy 4 weeks ago today (though we knew it was coming for a few weeks prior). I was 9 weeks, 3 days along when I m/c. I got my first period post-m/c today (and am actually excited to see it - means I am "working" correctly). It was a horrible experience as well all sadly know, and I am glad it is over and done with. Physically, I am fine. Emotionally, more good days than bad ones. I feel I will never fully get over it, but I know that time will heal the wound. For now, I am excited (and very nervous) to just start over and try again.
My doctor said to wait 2 cycles before TTC, but she also said that that is really for dating purposes and if I wanted to TTC this month, it would not be a big deal. So, we are going to try now!
Anyway, it is only day one so I have a long way to go but I wanted to say hello and introduce myself!

Hi Carolyn! I know we already know each other from the PL board, but just wanted to say hi and  to this board. This is a great group of women here and I think you will fit in really well! (And...I am super jealous that AF arrived for you. I am still sitting here waiting...  )

I'm glad to see you on this board and not just in PL. I'm happy to see that AF made her way back so soon, you'll be back TTC in no time!

Hi Carolyn! I too am 4 weeks past M/C today.. you are so lucky that AF showed- weird to be saying that, but I know what you mean about wanting to know that things are "working"!
Oh, and I saw my doctor today and he told me happy babymaking.. so I think you are good to go too! Good luck!

I am sorry you lost your little one. I am glad you found your way over here though. Welcome! I know what you mean about that first AF. I just couldn't wait for mine to come either and was so relieved when she arrived (I think that is the only time I've been relieved for her arrival). I look forward to getting to know you better.

Aw, shucks. Thanks everyone!
I feel welcome already!
We are officially TTC (well, this month - you know what I mean) so I've given myself a new ticker siggy and I'm anxious for the fertile days to arrive.
Hopefully, my nerves will not get the best of me!
