in Pregnant after a Loss

I thought it would be fitting for the season and interesting to hear how this website has helped/changed your life.

I will go first:

1-I got my first job through a connection on theknot.com, worked there for 4.5 years

2-I have met 3 close friends through thebump boards that I have met IRL

3-I couldn't have gotten through IF and then the loss of my twins with out the TTTC/IF board and MC/PG Loss board, seriously yall must have saved me thousands in therapy!

PS: I love this board because yall ask the questions I want to ask before I can ask them.  I get so much out of being with woman that understand.

    1 - When I came to the TTCAL board it had been 2 1/2 years since my loss.  I came to the board broken and hurting and not even realizing it.  I healed more in the 6 months I was there because of the wonderful ladies there than I had the entire time since my loss.

    2 - I met a bumpie IRL and we have become good friends and I love her death!!

    3 - The amount of information I have learned from this board is amazing. 

    4 - My level of snark has been raised quite a bit.  Smile

    I figure each hour spent on the bump (on MC/PGL and TTCAL) saved me 30 minutes in the therapist's chair.

    If it wasn't for the IF girls, I never would have realized my old RE was a tool, and switched REs to one that has had a higher success rate at getting me KUed.

    It probably saved my marriage, as I don't know if DH could have fulfilled as much emotional hand holding as I needed those first few months.

    I now know what questions to ask my doctor, taking charge of my body and fertility.

    It has made me more sensitive to other's trials.
