Hi ladies, I was on this board about 2 months ago, when DH & I were ttc after our 2nd loss. (see siggy) We just got confirmation last week that the heart beat stopped, my betas were not doubling like they should & I'm currently waiting to m/c. It feels weird to go through this a 3rd time, but I feel like I know what to expect, which in a way is comforting.
This time has been oddly different. Althought DH & I are devestated, we have tried to be optimistic in the sense that if this pg continued, there would have been other concerns based on my slow/low hcg levels. I have decided to totally come out of hiding regarding this loss, and we are telling friends and coworkers. Today was my first day back to work after taking several days to digest info from last week's dx. I have told all of the staff I supervise at work, my boss, and several other coworkers. I know that this isn't for everyone, but I have to tell you, it's like a huge weight off my shoulders! It's like I'm not keeping secrets, and can be open about how I'm feeling! It feels great to talk openly about this!!!
Additionally, with my newfound confidence and positivity, I enjoy being here to share with you ladies. Although DH & I will be taking several cycles off, I feel more comfortable here as my grief is not as bad as past pgs. This is so weird. I'm sure I'll have bad days to come, but I'm still riding high feeling so open and honest with people. And suprisingly, 2 IRL friends have come out and expressed that they have also had recent m/cs! I hope you ladies will welcome me back, and I look forward to seeing many of you graduate soon to SAL!! (& thanks for reading my short story..)
Re: Will you take me back? (re-intro -- long)
I am sorry for your losses, but of coarse we welcome you with open arms!

I'm sorry that you are coming back here.... going through multiple losses is so devastating. I'm glad you've been able to find some peace and that you've got a welcoming place to come back to.
Take care!
ping ~~ I love your peace & optimism. it's nothing to be ashamed of at all. I am sorry you are going through these losses (I had my 3rd this weekend). Keep working with DH & they will make you stronger. And a baby will come to you.
