Hi Nikki,

I am unfortantely miscarried in December and it absolutly broke my heart, and I appologize for disappearing from the board. I then found out that the office I am working in is closing, so my husband and I have decided to hold off until I start my new job. We are discussing what we think would be a good time frame once I start a new job. I was thinking a year? What do you think?

Cheers,
Carrie

I'm so sorry to hear about the hard times you've been going through Carrie :( There is no need to apologize whatsoever! I wouldn't be up to spending time on a pregnancy board either.

I think your time frame for TTC again should be something between you and your hubby, and perhaps Dr. if they have any concerns. Sometimes people find it healing to wait, sometimes people find it healing to try again right away. Some people change their minds! You will know what to do :)

Do you have a new job lined up? I hope you find much success with that and with TTC again in the future!

Nikki
