Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss
It's been a while...
First of all, I want to say "HI" to everyone here, and thank you all for your posts. I have really enjoyed reading them and hearing other people's stories. I did an intro post back in October when I miscarried, but since that's been a while, here's my story.
Although, FH and I weren't actively trying to get pregnant, we did so back in October and I miscarried at 5.5 weeks.
In January I stopped BC and we only used condoms about 25% of the time, now for about a month or so we haven't used anything at all.
I chart my cycles but won't start doing temperatures until May. I am a teacher so the active TTGP will start in June, when I am done with school.
Anyway, my vent is that now that we are on the track to getting pregnant it seems that everyone I know is pregnant. I am seriously considering deactivating my Facebook account because every single day I see someone else is KU and I can't help but be envious, even though I am happy for them, it still hurts. My EDD was June 12, and as that date gets closer I keep thinking of how big my tummy would be, what we would be doing to the nursery and so on. I truly am happy for my friends, and I know that a lot of women get pregnant after a m/c but I have a family and personal history of "reproductive issues" (for lack of a better term) and I just want to be KU now...I know that sounds silly and I am just adding undue stress to myself and my FH but dangit, it just hurts.
Sorry to be a Debby Downer on a Friday, but I needed to vent. Thanks for listening. Hope you all have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend..

I say vent away. That's what the board is for. and I'm on a FB break too
It's just painful.
hugs and GL TTC.
My heart is as open as the sky.
Read about it on the blog
2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
Awww thanks so much. Hugs to you, too.
BFP#1 EDD 11/8/11 - MC @ 9w6d, 4/15/11 we said goodbye
BFP#2 DD arrived 5/7/12
I am so sorry that you are still struggling with your loss. I too was due in June and it is hard to think what I would be doing for our baby right now. Even when she was born 14+ weeks early and small, my mind was still in planning mode ("I'm going to get out of the hospital and heal up really well so that I can be so strong by the time she comes home, and we really need to start setting up the nursery...") There is still a part of me that gets into that timeline. I won't be able to start TTC for probably a year (I have to have a major abdominal surgery first) and the hardest part has been accepting this new limbo timeline.
I hope that things go well for you this summer as you start more actively TTC and you get a sticky baby soon!
