Hi all. I am 24 years old and have married for just over a year. In Feb my husband and I found out that I was pregnant...and it was a huge surprise. We were extremely excited, but a little scared. The baby was the1st grandchild on both sides of the family. Everyone was so excited. At 9 weeks and 3 days, I MC. At first, I was actually somewhat okay....I know God has a plan. I was extremely sad, but I thought it had passed. Well, it is back now. What makes it even harder is that we are TTC. I feel kind of selfish for being so sad about, because I personally know-and then read about- all the women who have had a few MC, and I just wonder how in the world you all cope with more than one. This one is hard enough for me to deal with. I honestly feel like we are ready to be pregnant again, but we are having complications in that department. I am amazed that we were not even "trying" and got pregnant and now we have been EXTREMELY active in TTC and are having no luck.

A little encouragement please?
Thank you and GOD bless!!!

  Hey DLF
  I am in the same boat as you - kind of. I had my first MC back in November and we haven't tried since. My HCG levels took forever to go down so we just wanted time to emotionally heal before we strated again but now - as of August - we are actively TTC. I am SO nervous and excited all at the same time. I just want you to know that I have more than one friend who has had 3 mc's and she finally has a little baby girl. Don't give up hope. I am 24 as well and everyone around me is having babies, except me. But I know in my heart that I will one day be successful at making a baby and I am looking forward to that day. You should too. :)

  I've had 2 m/c's in the past year and am TTC again. This is our 3rd month of trying since the last m/c in april (at 10 weeks; first one was at 12 weeks in Dec). It's an incredible emotional roller-coaster. Only those people who have been through it understand it. When you haven't had a baby yet, there are such huge fears that it's never going to happen. But, all we can do is keep trying, because the only other option would be not to try!
  
  Good luck! :)

  I've had 2 m/c this year, one in March and one in July. This is the 1st month we are TTC. I'm excited and so scared it will end the same even if I see those 2 little pink lines. TTC is not a problem for us, we tried twice, and it worked twice. I fear that I may have to TTC for more than one month, but know it's reality for most ppl. Even though, I am using ovulation tests to make sure I AM in fact ovulating. It just helps me to KNOW everything that I can. In a book I read about miscarriage, the author said she just had to get up every day knowing that she was ONE DAY CLOSER to being a mommy. Good luck to you!

this group is for those mommy and daddy to angels who are currently trying to concieve or have succeeded in ttc
