Hi ladies. Wish I didn't have to introduce myself here, but I do. DH and I have been married and TTC for 6 months. We got a BFP last month, but a week ago I had a mc. I thought I was handling it well...until my brother-in-law's wedding this weekend. I felt like I was hit on all sides. My in laws were asking when they were getting grandchildren, my new sister-in-law was telling people to look to me for grandchildren first, and DH's friends (correctly) assumed that the reason why I hadn't been drinking the last few times they saw me was because I was pregnant. So of course they were all shocked to see me drinking and wanted to talk about it. I kept trying to decide which torture was worse--having people tell me they thought I was pregnant and talking about when I'm going to have babies, or going ahead and telling them that I *was* pregnant but I'm not anymore. I told DH that I'm going to have a hard time hanging out with his friends for a while if they're going to keep speculating on whether or not I'm pregnant and talking to me about it.
So, long story short, I'm looking forward to getting to know some of you so we can help each other through this difficult TTC journey...

I'm totally doing this next time so I don't suffer silently. They would shut up because they wouldn't know what to say! I'm sure no one would speculate on my drinking habits after that, at least not to my face.
I am so so sorry for your loss. It is truly devastating. I hope you find comfort and support here.
BTW- your furbabies are so cute. Aren't they such a comfort during this difficult time?
