Questions? Nope

GTKY: What is keeping you motivated this week?  That my meds are coming.  Hopefully that gets me feeling like I'm moving forward.

@mambo5-2 I’m excited for you that you will be moving forward with your IVF cycle soon. I hope everything goes smoothly.
@Yay for the TWW! It’s so hard though, isn’t it?
@tessiesmom26 Happy to hear therapy is going well. Do you have big plans for vacation? 

Introduce yourself and anything you think is important: number of loss(es), when you had the loss(es), diagnosis/conditions surrounding loss, etc. Spontaneous loss at 6 weeks Aug 2021, MMC D&C at 12 weeks Feb 2022

Status: AF, starting my third cycle after the D&C, likely TTA again this month

How are things going? What is something that you are struggling with and/or what is going well? The due date of our first loss is on Thursday. It’s my first time passing a milestone like this and I’m feeling pretty low leading up to it, especially knowing I will have to face another lost due date in August. I want to do something to make the day special, and to remember, but I’m not sure what that looks like, and I’m worried that I’ll do nothing or not enough and then feel more upset. Argh. 

Any testing coming up/any recent results? No

Questions? Do you do something to remember your loss yearly? Or more often? How do you honor and remember someone you never had a chance to meet? 

GTKY: What is keeping you motivated this week? Honestly not much. Just trying to keep my body moving every day to keep my mental health from the gutter.

@maggiemadeit we have a candle for each lost little, we light them when we miss them.  I used to light them a lot. I don't light them as often now.  We also are very active in our local loss community that is really involved in trying to stop the silence surrounding miscarriage, still birth and child loss.

@mambo5-2 That’s lovely, thank you for sharing. I like how it doesn’t have to be a certain time or day, just when you need it. Beautiful ❤️
