Hi everyone

While I have been a BB member for a while now, I am new to this thread and wanted to quickly introduce myself. DH and I were married 5 weeks ago - 2 weeks ago we buried our little miracle, our son Ryan. The results of an amnio showed he had a chromosonal abnormality and, one week later, at 18weeks I was induced. 36 hours later our little boy was born sleeping.

The last two and a half weeks have been very hard. DH and I are working together to get through this day by day; we have seen a counsellor and will probably keep doing so for a while yet. I don't have the courage the return to work yet - maybe sometime after Easter.

While I am not physically ready to start TTC again, I need to start thinking about it because I don't have time on my side (I am 41) and we found it so hard to conceive Ryan that I don't expect anything to happen quickly, or possibly at all. I am seeing an AP/herbalist who wants me to wait at least 2 months before TTC again, which sounds reasonable to us.

My question is, how long physically should it take my body to heal? *TMI alert* I am still bleeding and in the last few days I noticed I am now passing pieces of tissue (endometrium?). Is this normal?

Sorry for the lack of personals, I will try to catch up on everyone's posts over the next few days.
