TTC After a Loss 6 Months+

awkward but good RE appointment

so the personal update first (and I promise, last pg related update on ttcal+6) - the placement u/s was all good. and no, Colinda, it's not triplets. it's one little sac all by itself. I go back in two weeks to hopefully see something.and to all the naysayers that say you can't feel O'ing - I knew it was my right side (they id'd the corpus luteum during u/s). . .

now the awkward: so as the door to the exam room is opening, my RE is all loud "this is great M, Congratulations - it may have happened the old fashion way, but I'm still taking credit! har har har!" and standing right there to check out is a friend (sorta distant friend-we have a mutual BFF but we're not BFFs if you know what I mean). of course she heard everything. of course it is awkward as can be. She had a loss at 29 weeks a few years ago, and recently a 12 week loss. So we walk to the parking lot together talking about the struggles and problems. and while it was good for us both to vent (she knew I was in her mindset too when I said I wanted punch out the woman in the waiting room who brought her 2 year old to the RE's office. now, I know you may not have child care, but this is an office full of infertile-esque people who don't need a child rubbed in their face) - but I still felt terrible that she had to hear my doc all happy-jack. argh.

  • Glad it's just one and it's in the right place :) Though triplets would've been fun. You could've name them Stacy, Tracy and Lacey. 
  • So glad the ultrasound went well, will continue to keep you in my thoughts. I'm sorry you had an awkward moment with your friend, but I'm sure she understands.
