Icon14 Trying for baby #1

Hi Everyone--I'm new to the message boards, but I have need the support so I figured I would join here!!

I am 24 (will be 25 next Friday 2-15) and my husband is 25. We were married in March 2007 and we accidently got pregnant in September 2007. We were scared at first but got super excited very shortly after. We were the first out of our friends to get pregnant!!

Then 10 weeks later we went for an ultrasound and the heartbeat wasn't there. It was crazy because the baby was measuring up TO THE DAY....so I opted for a D&C mainly because I was super sick with morning sickness and had no bleeding, spotting etc. It was horrible. I had the D&c on Nov 1st and got my period EXACTLY 28 days later...and it has been to the day since then. I have been soooo lucky.

We are trying again now to have another one and I just need the support mainly because I am so excited for this and have been for so long, but I am so worried for soething bad to happen again.

I sometimes think I don't fully understand the ovulation calculating so was hoping someone could give me a brief answer to when they ASSUME i would be ovulating since my cycle is exactly 28 days monthly. My last period was January 25th. I am under the impression that my fertile window would be the 4th--10th?? Is this correct or do I sound like I don't know what I'm doing? hehehe

Thanks so much and I am so excited to be joining such a great group of women!!!

Sara

You should ovulate on the 8th so a couple days before and even a day or two later you should be bd'ing. So you are right on! It is scary to TTC after a loss but in the end it will be worth it! Good luck!

Thanks so much..at least I'm not so far off....I thought these 3 months I would be feeling a little better, but it still hurts me and now I'm over paranoid that it will take us forever to conceive this time...because last time it was so simple and so fast.
