Hello Ladies,
My name is Crystal & i am 23 years old & just found out yesterday that i am pregnant after trying for 2 cycles. This is my second pregnancy... i miscarried with my first at 17 weeks in December 06, so i'm hoping with all of my heart that this baby is meant to be
I have been from the miscarriage/stillbirth board, to the TTC board & now i'm finally here so i am looking really forward to meeting all of you on this board & sharing our stories etc

It was a hard road after losing my first baby because i s'pose i just never thought it could happen to me (as we all do i s'pose)...... so when it happened i was devastated because all i ever wanted was ripped away from me so suddenly. I had such a void in me.... i was sooo upset, but my longing to be pregnant again & be a mother just grew stronger. It's not like i didn't grieve my loss or that i was ignoring it, but it is just so difficult having everything you thought you'd be change! I just wanted my baby so much.... we had been trying for 4 & a half months with my first pregnancy
The doc said to wait for atleast 1 normal period before trying again, to maximise the chances of the pregnancy being successful. This wait was sooo frustrating & it seemed to drag on forever. I felt like the whole world was moving but my world was just stopped on pause. Finally i got my first normal period, so DH & i started trying straight away, but nothing that month & i got my second period right on schedule, (i had tested 2 days b4 my period was due & got a negative result). We then began trying again after that had finished! DH & i were a little disheartened at first when we got a negative on the test, however i thought that it must be what my body needs to recover..... so we stayed positive & it seems that all of our positivity & bding finally paid off this month
So....... a big hello to all & hope to see lots of December Mummy's here on the board soon also.
Best wishes to everyone, Crystal xoxoxox
