TTC After a Loss

Wow-I hope my co-worker is pregnant.

Is that strange?  She is a good friend, we got married 2 weeks apart, and her menstrual cycle is in my calendar and I got an alert that says: "Lori's Cycle-6 days over due" so I asked her and she is late but she said she'll test later.  I actually hope that she is!!  I felt myself getting excited at the thought of her being pregnant and wanting to see her go through the process!  It's cool. 

I just thought I'd share because my miscarriage was probably a long time ago compared to most of you and it really does get better.  It doesn't hurt with that kind of intensity forever.

  • That's a good friend!

    You're right, my loss was almost 2 years ago and it does get easier with time. Though, sometimes, depending on who it is that gets pregnant, it bothers me.

  • How on earth hasn't she tested yet??? I'd be peeing on things left right and centre.

     

    My loss was awhile ago too.. still hurts like a S.O.B, but somewhat better.

    It's a wonderful thing to share.  BTW, my M/C was longer ago (bad grammar sorry) than yours!   Your still a newb to me...Wink

    Luv you, M0815!

    yup, it has only been a couple months for me and it has gotten better...and some people I am really excited for and others I think would bother me even if I didn't go through a loss....

  • You're very positive!  I'm very happy for people when they announce they're pregnant....but it depends on who it is.  And I love babies, so much that I want one myself!

    I can't hate the fertiles because they're fertile!  It's not their fault my eggs belong in a retirement home.

  • I must know - why on earth is her cycle in your calendar?!

     This.  I wouldn't be able to wait to POAS.  You are a good friend :)

  • That is nice of you. It does make me feel better to know one day it won't hurt as much to see other people pregnant.

  • My m/c wasn't long ago and I don't have a hard time learning that people are pg or being around pg friends.  I understand why people do, but I don't.

    Maybe it's b/c I already have a DD, so I'm not waiting to be a mom.  I'm not trying to minimize my loss, but that's how I feel.  (not trying to open up that can of worms again...)

    This.

    Because she never knew anything about her cycles and it was pissing me off.  She always said "am I late?" I don't even know when I'm due. I wanted to punch her.

  • That cracks me up that you track her cycle.  You are really a great friend.  I'm trying to learn from your positive attitude - I'm getting there.

    I feel this way too.  I am genuinely happy anytime someone gets to become a mom who wants to be!  Pregnant bellies don't even bother me.

  • Thanks for sharing with us that it gets better.  RIght now, I would never tell my pregnant friends, I am thrilled for them, but at the same time I keep asking why did I miscarry??
