Hi ladies, My name is Alicia, I am 29, I have been with dh for 6 years, married for a little over 3. I was a long time reader of SG before I joined after my second loss this past August.
I have lived in Philadelphia all my life and work as an art consultant. When I think about my life, I smile ironically because I went to an all girls school, where most importantly we were taught to do anything a man would do, and the only thing i have ever wanted to do was stay at home with my kids, teach them macaroni art and sing and dance around my kitchen while waiting for my homemade cookies to be done.
As for hobbies, I find life gets in the way all too often to cultivate any interests to the fullest, but I if I had my druthers, I would read, travel and eat all the time.
I pray to Mary to stop being angry with God about what seems to be the "unfairness" of life. Is that even a word? Well, anyway . . . And I pray to St. Gerard every night to make all of the women here at SG mommies.

Hi Everyone!
I'm Mindy. Although we are not currently ttc, I feel like this is where I belong.
DH and I are both 30. I had my first m/c 11/3/03. I went on to get pg with DS before my first AF. When he was 7.5 months old, we decided that we would try again. I got pg right away, only to lose that baby at 5 weeks. I got pg again before my first af but lost that baby at 5 weeks.
At this point, we have put ttc on hold. We would like to have another baby, but we will wait for the right time. For now, we are enjoying life with our energetic 14 month old, Rylan. He makes our days worth living.
Nice to see everyone again!!

Hi everyone
I'm Kirsty, I'm 28 and i'm one of the 'old timers'. I have a wonderful son, who is 5, and we have been trying to give him a sibling for as long as I can remember (ok, about 4 years).
I had a m/c at 11 weeks on the 9th of November of 2002, and found sg the same week. After another 18 months of trying, finally found out that I have 2 totally blocked tubes and PCOS, so we are currently waiting for the call for my IVF cycle to start.
I realise that I don't really know anyone because everyone I 'started' here with has graduated, once and a few twice. Makes me sad and happy at the same time.
Good luck everyone !

Hi. My name is Karen. I'm a 38 yr old wahm to 3 girls, ages 10, 7 and 6. My dh Jorge and I have been married for 14 years. I had my 3rd miscarriage on September 27th and we are starting our attempt to conceive again this cycle. It has been a real roller coaster for us this last few years. We started ttc when my youngest was 2 years old but after a year with nothing happening, I went to see my ob/gyn. They determined that I was low on progesterone and not ovulating. I took clomid for 6 months without conceiving and then decided that I was just going to stop and let what happened happen. Well, after such a long time(4 years since starting), I had pretty much pushed the idea of a pregnancy out of my mind. I didn't even feel like I wanted another baby at that point so when I got pregnant, it was a big shock. I was going thru so many emotions. I was worried about my girls reactions, thinking about having to buy all that baby stuff again since I had given all mine away. I was just starting to adjust and be happy about the baby when I had a miscarriage. Now I really, really want a baby. My dh isn't all that enthused but said that if I want another one, then he is ok with that idea. He is so logical. He says that we were done with baby stuff, that we are older now and that we already have 3 kids. For me, it's a purely emotional issue. When I think logically, I think I must be crazy to want to go back into all those diapers and late night feedings etc. But logic doesn't enter into my decision. Anyway, I am now actively ttc and hope that this time, I have a much better outcome.

Hi all! (It's been a long time! Some of you may remember me though...)
I joined SG in January of '04. Been ttc #2 since May of '03, had m/c #1 10/17/03 at 8wks. Had problems getting pg ever since. My "old" OB/GYN told me "oh, it's just stress. You need to relax!" FINALLY got somewhere in April of '05. (yep...almost 2 years after starting ttc #2) I switched OB/GYNs. I was diagnosed with PCOS, and put on Metformin (1000mg/day). Had second m/c May of '05 at 5wks. Lost 2 dress sizes between the last half of August and the middle of October, hoping that weight loss would help ttc. Increased Met to 1500mg/day end of Oct. If this doesn't work by the end of the year, DH is going in for an analysis. If that comes back fine, then it's on to Clomid (or Femara) for me. (Along with the Metformin of course!)

Hi Everyone
I don't know if anyone remembers me but I was also Elizabeth on the last board and I am from Ireland. I first joined here nearly 3 years ago when I m/c at 12 weeks in January 03, followed closely by another m/c in March 04. I also suffered another pg loss many years ago. I have 3 lovely children, aged 9, 3 and nearly 2, two girls and a boy.
I looked up this board again because we have been ttc for around 7 months and I am totally baffled as I have never had this problem before. I guess the difficulty made me think about my losses and I have been reflecting quite a bit recently on things. I have recently been to my obgyn who tells me that there is nothing "obvious" wrong, ie no fibroids etc and everything "looks normal". I didn't really want to go down the road of further testing as I am 40 and he did say that my age could mean it might take longer.
So, we will just wait a while longer, pray a bit more and try again.
It's nice to be back.
Elizabeth
