@RiverSong15 Sorry you’re feeling so down this week. I hope things start looking up soon. The waiting is awful, I hate it too. Constantly thinking that I should be holding a newborn right now, and if not that at least I was a month+ PG. This situation sucks, and feeling like we're not getting any younger doesn't help!

@chloe97 That is totally bananas! I'm really relieved it turned out to be something so silly and you can go ahead as planned with the next steps in your ttc journey.

2. Status (WTO, TWW, Benched, etc.): not sure what all the abbreviations mean, but I just had a MC on 7/6, and am trying to get out of my funk. We were at 9 weeks and were shocked. We got pregnant fairly easily, so we are just hoping that happens again when we try again (just not sure when I can, this is all new to me).
3. Rants/raves: Don't really have one, other then the fact that Im mad that my doctors office couldn't get me in until 10 weeks, so there was no notice that something was wrong, and I was blind sided. On top of it all when i went to get checked out yesterday, the first doctor didn't believe me that I was pregnant at all because I hadn't been checked out before and I MC'ed before I got there, and was all cleared out. It was a rather rough day.
4. GTKY: What's a life skill you wish you had? On the flip side of that, do you have any what might be called hidden talents? I wish I knew how to sew. I have very specific ideas of the types of curtains and pillows I want in my house and I cant find them anywhere, so I wish I could just sew them.

@chloe97 - That is nuts!! Im so sorry for all the added stress you must have been under.
@ littlebug2010- Im sorry for your loss and for your experience at the drs office. I found out at an ultrasound at my drs office at 10 weeks so I can sympathize.
Thanks guys, when I finally figured this out last night and then confirmed via experiment, I felt a huge sense of relief. It feels blasphemous to say on this board, but I'm definitely NOT ready to be pregnant again yet. I need another 2 months of chill before I set down this path again.
The good news is that I think my OPK is almost positive, so hopefully I get a temp spike in the next day or 2 and then I can count on AF arriving in 10-14 days. I was really set on 3 cycles before TTCAL, but I guess I'm going to have to go by the months.
Thanks everyone! The office was bad, but this is better I am just trying to stay positive, and look forward to the time when we can try again!

@RiverSong15 I have the same feelings this week! We went to a festival for 4th of July and literally every single person there was pregnant. I came home and got so flipping sad I'm not 32 weeks pregnant. I have so much anxiety about outlet due date next month. We have a wedding that day but not sure if we're going to go or not!
Married to my DH 7/18/15 BFP 12/17/15 MMC @ 18 weeks 4/7/16
@littlebug2010 I'm so sorry for your loss. My doctor won't see anyone until 8-10 weeks! It's so friggin ridiculous! We were blindsided as well at our 20 week ultrasound to find out we lost our baby at 18 weeks. My Doctor said for the next pregnancy I'll be in there earlier and every two weeks. I'm also going to request they give me blood tests every couple days to determine my HcG is going up!! A friend didn't that after her loss. She went until her 2nd trimester because she was so paranoid look. Maybe your doctor would do the same thing if you request it??
Married to my DH 7/18/15 BFP 12/17/15 MMC @ 18 weeks 4/7/16
@littlebug2010 I can't believe a Dr would do that. The things I hear about how some Dr's handle miscarriage are horrible. So sorry for your loss. Glad to hear you are trying to stay positive! Moving on to a cycle where I could try again (which just happened for me 3 days ago!) has honestly made me feel a lot happier.
@chloe97 I still can not believe that is a thing! I am glad it worked out to be something so silly. But I honestly can't say I ever would have even thought of that! Sorry it gave you a scare but I'm glad it turned out well.
2. Status (WTO, TWW, Benched, etc.): Benched/TWW. Today was my first negative pregnancy test. I think the last few days of cramps and bleeding got rid of the rest.. I now have discharge that reminds me of fertile cm. maybe I'm about to ovulate?
3. Rants/raves: still couldn't get myself to take a prenatal last night. the bottle has a big pregnant belly on it and the idea of that ever happening to me somehow seems like a fairytale, like I should feel stupid for even anticipating it by taking the vitamin, although I know there is no realistic reason to feel that way. The doctor never called me back on my bloodtest result but now that I'm not passing HPTs it isn't really a big deal. I like my new doctor but doctors offices are always such a mess. I like the idea of a midwife but I don't know how they work with insurance and how to even find one. 4. GTKY: does athleticism count? I would love to be fit but I'm just an awkward clumsy mess!
@mjolk I understand your feelings about the PNVs. I stopped taking mine for a month after both losses. I just couldn't handle doing something that was associated with pregnancy in any way. I felt silly too, but you need to balance what's best for your mental health as well as your physical health. Would it maybe help to set a deadline, like "next CD1 is when I'll re-set everything for TTC?"
ETA:
@chloe97 I'm glad you figured out what was going on and (although it feels blasphemous to say) I'm glad you aren't PG this cycle before you're ready to be.
@kmkremp7 Are we the same person? DH and I also have an OOT wedding next month exactly on my due date. I can't decide if the distraction will be good or if I'll be thinking that I shouldn't even be there the entire time. Hugs. Due dates are hard.
