Hi ladies! I'm brand new to this forum and looking forward to sharing stories/strategies with all of you while TTC #2. I've had 3 losses, gave birth to a healthy baby boy in the midst of it all and going to start trying again for #2. My first loss was a blighted ovum and we didn't see a heartbeat at 8w and I had a D&C. Second loss was at 11 1/2 weeks. We saw a hb at 7w, so thought that all was going to be fine and the worst was behind us. I started bleeding at 11 1/2 weeks and went to the ER and it turned out that this baby had triploidy (an extra set of chromosomes). Had a D&C with that as well since we wanted testing done on the baby. After being scared out of my mind to try again, I got pg with my DS and had an amazing pregnancy (although scared to death in the first trimester). Once again, thinking that the worst was behind us, I got pg in April and didn't see a hb at 7w. Went in for yet another D&C in order to be able to do testing on the baby and everything was normal. I've been through a ton of testing and thankfully I have no issuses (clotting, immune, etc) but just seem to have a problem staying pg. I know that friends and family can be supportative, but only women who have been through this can really understand just how scary it is and what an emotional rollercoaster it can be. Wishing everyone here the best of luck and looking forward to getting to know all of you!

I am so sorry for your losses. 
However you are also an inspiration to many of us on here since you did go on to have your son after losses - it's just awful that you have to battle with this again for #2.

Re: New here
Thanks so much. I know it's so cliche, but it does make you appreciate everything so much more when it finally does work out. Also knowing when someone has had a loss, I seem to be so much more happy for them when they do have a healthy baby b/c I know what they have been through. Hoping to be happy for all of you ladies real soon!
