For the new people who joined this board in the last two weeks, we are all so sorry for your losses. This board is proof that you don't have to go through this alone!
I'd like to give us all love and hugs for making it through Mother's Day
We are all mothers
How are you all doing this week? Any questions or anything we can help you with?
GTKY: Where is your most favorite place to be? (Doesn't have to be a travel location, can be as simple as in your bed lol)
Re: How is everyone doing? Check-in 5/9
My favorite place to be.... I have two.
- On my patio with all of my plants, hot tea in hand. A sunny day, watching the trees sway in the breeze.
- In my bed, right after waking up, but right before DH wakes up
I am so blessed to have the love of my life, my DH, est. November 2008.

GTKY: my favorite place to be I think is by the ocean in Tofino but also spooning with DH while surrounded by our three dogs lol
My favorite place is snuggling on my couch with DH and my cat or laying in my hammock in the backyard.
I told my sister that baby didn't have a heartbeat and was set for Wednesday. She cried and is going to come visit on Thursday and we are going to go paint and drink wine together. (She lives out of town for school so I don't see her too frequently.)
I'm doing better overall. DH got really sad and felt that it all finally sunk in and was texting me that he just wanted to be with me instead of at work.

My favorite place in the world is Comerica park, where the Detroit Tigers play. I feel so relaxed, happy and comfortable any time I'm there. I love keeping score while I'm there

@nmd9168 I am sorry your MIL was not more sensitive. I think people don't understand that while they may be moving on we may not be. I hope your vacation gives you time to relax and you should definitely treat yourself to a spa day.
@sugargirl1019 I am very sorry for your loss. It sounds like you have a good support system which is important during this time. I am wishing you a fast recovery from the procedure and hopefully you can put the physical part behind you soon.

All in all I feel good. I'm ready for my body to get back to "normal" so we can try again. Funny. As much pain as I was in I was convinced I didn't want to do this ever again and here I am chomping at the bit to get it going.
I hope you ladies are doing well. *hugs*

However, my bleeding finally stopped since my D&C, which was 3 weeks ago. When I went for my 12 week ultrasound, my baby was measuring at 9 weeks. Few days later I ended up in the ER....blood levels dropped and no heartbeat detected. My first pregnancy.
I wish I was at my favorite place-MYRTLE BEACH!
My rant for the week are my OBs nurses. They regularly forget to put stuff on my bloodwork. The ONE set of tests I absolutely wanted was DOR. Thank God I checked my lab slips before walking out of the office, because they had left off LH and AMH tests! Just goes to show how important it is to be educated about medical tests and to advocate for yourself. If I hadn't checked, I would have had to wait an extra month to add those, as DOR tests can only be done on CD3.
ETA: my favorite place is cuddled up with DH. It's my only happy place these days. Otherwise, I'd go with Maui. I keep recalling that vacation whenever I'm stressed and need to relax.
My my favorite place to be in on the back of a horse, which I rarely get to do these days, but I feel so at peace when I am riding.
Much love to all you ladies and the many faces loss can take.

I go for long periods of time when I'm fine, and then all of a sudden I just burst into tears. I'm resigned to the idea that it's just going to be like that for a while. I'm really dreading the next few weeks when other people who are due around my due date start announcing their pregnancies.
GTKY: my favorite place is the beach at dusk, when everyone else has gone home and it's nice and peaceful.
GTKY: Where is your most favorite place to be? Cheesy: Anywhere with DH Non-Cheesy: on or near water. I especially love boating in Tennessee where my dad has an awesome boat and vacation house.

Baby #2 M/C 4/5/16
As for me, I'm coming to vent. We've talked about how grief can sneak up on us. DH came home yesterday and told me his little sister is pregnant again He has three sisters with 12 kids between them and now a 13th on the way and I'm still waiting to have 1. I broke down immediately. DH knew it would be hard for me and was comforting. What's worse is we are visiting his parents and family next weekend and I was already stressed about this trip. Now all I can think about is how I wanted to be pregnant this trip and "should" be and its just going to be so hard

"Sugar Fancy Tutu"
I bought a bunch of new baby girl outfits for a friend that I've been avoiding packaging and shipping. Well, now I decided I REALLY didn't want to do it and told DH to get a gift card or something so I wouldn't have to bother...
When I brought the stuff back to the store, I only had the gift receipt. I wanted the $$ put back on my debit but she explained since it was a gift, I had to get store credit. I tried telling her it wasn't a gift, I BOUGHT the gift. Then she says, "How old's the baby?" (which I thought was weird) but I answered, "2 months..." STILL NOT GETTING IT she goes, "Wow, you look great, all out and about after 8 weeks."
I just walked out of there so sad and now the whole day has gone downhill. I hate being like this.
@schmoopie1 what an awful experience, so sorry
