Hi there, I thought I'd also post an intro post. I have been lurking on here for the past month or so.

I'm mainly active on r/ttcafterloss and I also lurk on r/infertility . Yes, I feel like I am stuck in a weird in-between place. I started TTC in November 2014, three months after getting my rheumatoid arthritis meds (taking methotrexate is not really good for pregnancy, as those unfortunate of you who had to take it to induce a miscarriage probably know...). Got pregnant right away. Miscarriage at 5 weeks, the worst of which hit over Christmas.

Pregnant again the next cycle and the first ultrasound was great - two gestational sacs! Husband and I were so thrilled at the thought of twins. Well, four weeks later, still no heartbeats and that was my first D&C. That triggered a really bad depressive episode and we stopped trying for a few months and until I finally found a therapist.

Started TTC again in June, got pregnant in September. Two ultrasounds with heartbeats later, I started spotting a bit at something like 9 weeks. No heartbeat, another D&C. And TTC again directly afterwards. RPL blood work and DNA testing all came back fine. My TSH was too high during that last pregnancy, though, so my thyroid meds have been adjusted.

And that's pretty much where I still am. With recurrent pregnancy loss and something that is beginning to look like infertility after all. This is the 10th cycle of trying after the last miscarriage and I couldn't get an appointment with my ob/gyn earlier than mid-September. I feel out of place on r/infertility because I am not (yet) going through treatments and sometimes feel weird posting at r/ttcafterloss because of the problems trying to conceive on top of the pregnancy losses. r/stilltrying also fits me. All three communities look super welcoming and no-nonsense (I have a MSc in Biology - I like people using medical terms :-)), so I'll just be around in all of them :-)
