Dana's Story

My husband and I got pregnant after four months of being off of the pill. I was 22 at the time. At eight weeks I lost the pregnancy and was very upset, understandably.

The very next month we got pregnant again. I spent the first three months of the pregnancy just waiting for "it" to happen again. I felt unable to get excited because I was afraid it would all be over. We ended up having a healthy baby boy and we were told by the ob/gyn that a miscarrage is normal.

When our son was two we decided to try again. We got pregnant after six months of trying and unfortunately, I had another miscarrage. It has been over a year now of trying and nothing, no pregnancies. I am 26 now and feeling like this is the prime time to have a baby and disappointed that it's not happening!

Now I am worried that I will never have another baby and I don't want them to be too far apart in age (my son is 3). We can't afford any expensive infertility treatments and right now I am feeling helpless.
