I don't know why I lurk on 1st tri

Every time I see a "spotting" thread, it makes my stomach drop. Especially all the "it's normal! you're fine!" responses.

I always want to reply "Call your doctor now!" but I don't because they're in 1st tri and are looking for puppies & rainbows not a dose of harsh reality.

I also want to sneer at the "brown blood is fine, it's old blood" posts.

I currently lurk on 1st tri and Dec board.  It makes me happy to see all the pregnant woman who are having success, but it also makes me feel worse about my own loss, and I remember all the milestones I am missing.

I couldn't lurk there for that exact reason. That was such a horrible feeling.

I feel that way about the late 2nd tri/early 3rd tri posts when someone asks about movement or the baby measuring small. I want to tell them to call the dr and not just do a kick count, but my case is not the norm.

I feel the same way as you. I know the day our son stopped moving, but I did not worry because I thought it was still early to feel steady movement. But of coarse I was not the norm too. Oh and we named our son Ayden too, but spelled differently, so love the name.

Yes, that makes me want to pull my hair out.  I want to say "no! it's not normal, you could be having a miscarriage just like I did!"  Grrrrrr.

This exactly except I was told to expect it at any time.  I also get a little queasy when people mention "the big ultrasound" because that is when my nightmare began.
