i feel like there are easily a few places this could go, but i also wanted to put it in a place where it wouldn't get missed if i only put it in the TTCAL thread. i think the vulnerability women are having by being more vocal about MC is so important to take the secrecy and shame away **TW** article goes to great detail re MC in text and photos, i have only had one person ask why i elected a d&c over other options, but sadly for the author this article is exactly why **END TW**

@anniemarie887 I love the honesty in this article and the format was truly compelling. More stories like this need to be told and shared, thank you.

@anniemarie887 thank you for sharing this. So needed. I wish we were doing more to make pregnancy loss and other aspects of TTC not a taboo subject.

@anniemarie887 thank you for sharing this. It is something so many of us go through, but when it happens you don't know of anyone it has happened to, and you feel so alone. There needs to be more discussion around loss so that women feel like they have people to turn to, and to open up and share their stories.

@anniemarie887 wow this brought tears to my eyes. That was heartbreaking and also brought back so many memories.

Is there a way to view PMs on the app that I'm just not seeing or do I have to go through the website?

anniemarie887

@fantasyflyte if you have an iphone (i won't assume this app looks the same on android) and you are for ex on the ttgp "home" page where all the threads are... look toward the top left corner, right above trying and you should see "inbox"

acleverusername

Wait.. who IS that dude in IF thread? What's his "I'll take note" comment in response to? 

fantasyflyte

@anniemarie887 I'm on android but it is the same, thank you!

Yay! Also, y’all I am sorry. You deserve medal for interpreting my typing. I wrote “right about trying” in the last post, I swear every time I post I insert the incorrect word with similar letters to what I intended. Guilty of doing 10 things at once which isn’t wise.

You know you're out of shape when 1 day of 20 squats post PIO shots leave you with DOMS.

Life is crazy! I just took a temp full time position (I am a dialysis registered nurse!) which is 7 7am-7pm shifts in a two week period and my husband just got a new job doing 2 5am-5pm shifts 2 5pm-5am shifts 4 days off. And let me tell u this world was not made for two people to do shift work together! It’s been TOUGH! So I am actively applying for and hoping I get a community nursing job soon that’s an 8:30am-4:30pm Mon-Friday type job because all the little creatures that rely on us to be watered fed and walked are not happy being home alone for 12 hours frequently or shuffled around at family members houses!

@tryingktogku care management? Our care management RNs work those shifts at our hospital

thankfullyamama

@mambo5-2 I’m applying outside of our hospital to our community care access center which is a provincially funded program! The care coordinators work normal day job hours! We have care coordinators at the hospital that still work shift work too but that’s what I’m trying to move away from! My husband used to work a 9-5 and I did shift and it worked great but now that he is shift too it’s like we either never see each other and try and work opposite days or we have a heck of a time coordinating care! Trying to even find someone to let our dog out pee is difficult lol I’m hoping I get this new job soon or get to go on a maternity leave soon to recify the situation in the meantime lol

@tryingktogku ah, you’re Canadian! Where abouts from? I’m from Ottawa but moved to California ~4 years ago. 

thankfullyamama

@acleverusername I’m in a small northern city in Ontario! Beautiful if you appreciate nature. Very boring if you don’t haha where are you from!? California seems like a dream after this hell of a winter!

I totally get the desire to try anything and everything to get KUed but this feels like an empty publicity stunt and God help anyone reading People without validating info and then endangering themselves by going out there and eating raw meat willy nilly: https://people.com/food/heidi-montag-seen-eating-raw-animal-organs-to-help-fertility-issues-i-love-trying-new-things/
