Age 36
Business Improvement Manager for a major pharmaceutical co.

Have 2 beautiful DSs aged 4 (5 in 9 days!) and 2.

Had m/c at 6 weeks in Nov 1999, after 3 years of ttc, then got pg with DS1 straight after, no period in between.
Had m/c at 7 weeks in Nov 2004. Weren't ttc at the time, DH adamant no more children. Lots of heartache, and nearly the end of our marriage later we are now ttc no 3, but have set a deadline for Christmas (kind of regretting that bit now ). Hence now desperate for it to happen quickly and before DH changes his mind again and runs off to get the snip!

Dh is blind (well extremely partially sighted), and that combined with money and house space (or lack of it) issues were his reasons for not wanting any more, so am trying (mostly failing) to be superwoman and convince him another baby will be nothing but joy joy joy as far as he's concerned.

First M/C: 7/8/05 7weeks. Started bleeding on the Sunday. Got worse over next couple of days. Went to A&E on the Tuesday morning and got immediate referral to EPU that day. Scanned and told that 1 of 3 things was happening ; 1 - eptopic preg; 2 - I had my dates wrong; 3 - miscarrying and "baby" had already detached and was on way out. Went to loo when I woke up next morning and saw sack and membranes (TMI??)

Baby I lost wasn't planned and DH had a bit of trouble coming to terms with it. But think we will try again. I am desperate to have another baby.
