Forum: Trying to conceive after loss of an infant/child

I guess there's not really a name for what today represents. It's the time that I hoped to be celebrating the first birthday of my first child. Instead, I find myself home alone, with my husband being away in Afghanistan for the past 7 months (3 left to go), in an all-too-quiet house. This week...

I will go first... Christopher - We came up with this name after there was a resturaunt near where we used to live that was named this. We never ate there but the name stood out to us and thought that our first born son should be named that. Alexander - We wanted a strong name and after we...

Where is everyone? I hope everyone is okay! :hug:

I know with the summer some people then have to face less activities and sometimes that can be hard for people who have suffered a loss. :hug: So if you are in that camp, many hugs. Please know that I am here should you need anything. :hug:

Please share something that makes you smile. :)

Are you? Just checking in to see who is here. :) BTW just because I am 5 years out from my loss doesn't mean I am not dealing with it in a very big way. Today I just went through a box that I had taken clutter from my pregnancy and the time my children were alive. I had moved this box and...

Just thought I would offer big hugs to anyone that needs it! :grouphug:

I was hoping to wake up to good news from you today. :crossfing you just went celebrating. :vibegirl :vibesboy

I hope all is well with everyone! Let me know how things are going, doesn't have to be just about TTC issues. :)

I remembered this template from years ago. I thought it was time to dust it off so we can all cheer each other. Please let me know where you need to be on the list. TTC the old fashion way

I don't know how to deal with children who have been born around my due date. I know that I will love my friends' children when I meet them, but will they always be a painful reminder of the son I could have had? My son's due date was in April and I haven't seen any new 2011 babies yet and I...

I am just wanting to make sure everyone is doing okay. Please let me know if there is anything you need or would like to be done on here. Good luck everyone!
