TTC After a Loss 6 Months+

I vote we skip May.

It's my least favorite month of the year.  Not only does it hold Mother's day, but also several family birthdays, an annual trip to visit MIL a six hour drive away, and two EDDs.  

Both EDDs are the same day (may 31st), which I thought would be nice.  Only one day to dread.  But, no.  I'm dreading this year so much more then I was last year.  Why?  Twice the disappointment.  I should have a one year old, and a new born.  But what do I have?  An exercise bike I never use, and a very diverse liquor cabinet.  Fabulous.  I love my life.

If anyone needs me, I'll be in my bed crying and hiding from May.  See you in June.

  • I'm so sorry.  I Vote we skip may as well.  Last year we had our retrieval for IVF on 5/5 and our transfer on 5/10, mother's day last year, and our anniversary.  We really thought that all of the stars aligned to give us our forever babies...and here we are...without our 2 boys.  So...I am with you for skipping May.
  • Aww, Emma, I'm sorry. May is shiitty, no doubt about it.

  • I am ready to skip May also. All I keep seeing is commercials and ads with mother's day mentioned.

  • I'm so sorry. I'm dreading it too, My EDD is on the 4th and I'm anxious for it to be over.
  • I vote for skipping it too. My EDD is May 13th and my mother has passed away so mother's Days haven't been good for me the past few years.

    Okay, but seriously, I'm sorry May's your bad month.  :(  And giant bear hugs (like this, but bigger). 

  • I'm sorry Emma.  Skipping May sounds great to me.

  • I'm sorry Emma.  One of my losses happened right before Mother's Day so May is not a fun time for me either.  Having children doesn't make it any better.  I keep thinking about the ones that are missing from the  table and DH has a bad habit of forgetting the day altogether so there is usually no celebration to speak of.

    Skipping sounds like a wondeful idea.
