Hi,
I'm Lulabell. My DH and I are TTC after two losses. Our first loss was a miscarriage at 15 weeks in June 2006. Our second loss was our DD - stillborn at 25 weeks in June 2007. I am still hurting so much but am excited to try again. Thanks for reading. Best wishes to you all.

Hi Lulabell,
I am terribly sorry to hear about your losses. I can't even imagine. May I ask if they know what happened?
I hope your stay is short and sweet, and that you are holding your healthy baby in the very near future!

Wow, June doesn't seem to be a very good month for you! My Erin was born in June of 2007. I had her after my Cora was stillborn at 38 weeks, May 2, 2006.
I'm very sorry for both your losses, but I'm glad you found us here! Best of luck to you and loads of super sticky dust!

Hi lulabell! I am so sorry for your losses. I have had 2 mc's and my dd was stillborn April 15, 2007 at 27weeks. I saw that you are homozygous MTHFR too. I have that and another blood clotting issue. What do they have you doing for that? I have to take a BA, 5mg of folic acid, and will need Lovenox when I get a bfp. I hope that your stay here will be short. I look forward to getting to know you.

Welcome to this board. I'm sorry to hear of your losses. I had two miscarriage 10 weeks apart. It hurts a lot to loss someone so precious, let alone two precious children. This is a wonderful place with many supportive women. They've helped me a lot.
I hope your stay doesn't last too long.

Hi Lulabell!  ! Sorry about your 2 losses
I'm Lindsey 21 married to DH Simon 22. We just celebrated our one year for both marriage and TTC. We're on cycle #16, on birth control and hoping to TTC again this month so we can get our 2008 miracle. We had a chemical pregnancy in January.
Can't wait to get to know you! Glad you found us! The ladies here are awesome!!!  Good luck to you on your TTC journey too!!

 I am sorry for your losses, but glad to hear that you are braving the scary world of TTC after losses. I know you will find great companionship and support here through your hopefully short journey to a bfp and a h&h 9mos.  again!

Hi Victoria,
Thank you for your post. Testing revealed I have homozygous MTHFR which can cause blood clots. That was the only possible explaination that they could find. I have to take baby aspirin, 4 mg folic acid, 50 mg B6, 1 mg B12 and when I become pregnant again I will be on blood thinners.
Thanks for your kind words, they are truly appreciated!

Hi Brittanie,
I know, I was beginning to think June had it in for us!  I am scared when we get pregnant again to have to go through June but I know it was only a coincidence. I'm so sorry about your sweet little Cora.
Thank you for your kind words, I truly appreciate them!

Hi MrsPoe,
I'm so sorry for your losses as well. Your little Abby is beautiful.
I am also on BA, 4 mg of folic acid (maybe I should be on 5 mg?), 50-100 mg B6, 1 mg B12 and I will also start a blood thinner when I get bfp. I also hope your stay here will be short! What is your other blood clotting issue?
