Thanks so much for posting this! I needed it today...
1. I ugly cried for over an hour today while running errands. And then sent passive-aggressive text messages to MH about it. Basically, any small thing that goes wrong feels like life completely falling apart... Oh, and after I ugly cried for an hour, I bought 2 goats. And felt much, much better, for a little while anyway.
2. I flipped out at MH for opening an umbrella inside a store last night. No, seriously. "That's bad luck! What are you doing? We have all the bad luck in the world already."
3. MH is now paranoid about pregnancies because he knows they upset me. Example: We showed up for dinner at a friend's house earlier this week to find her sporting a baby bump. It was, of course, a surprise pregnancy to them. On the car ride home, I said, "Seriously?! Now everyone is pregnant." MH responded, "I know, and they don't even try."
So basically my FFFC is that my husband deserves a better wife! I really feel like I'm dragging him down these days... but I don't know how to make it better.
Severe MFI. Me: supposedly all clear but eggs showed vacuoles.
IVF #1 January 2012, ER Jan 14th: 34R, 27M, 23F. Day 3: 18 embies still strong. Day 5: zero "good," one "fair," the rest "poor." Transferred 3. None made it to blast or to freeze. Jan 28: BFN.
Lucky IVF #2: Transferred two beautiful day three embies on St. Patrick's Day. BFP on HPT 7dp3dt. Beta 1 (14dpER)=106; Beta 2 (16dpER)=140; Beta 3 (19dpER)=264! First u/s 4.17.

I don't understand why people put pregnancy tickers in their siggy the second they find out they are pregnant. I would think you would at least want to see all your betas & maybe hear a hb before you put it in there. So many things can go wrong in that time period.

I did this when I got pregnant. Yes, I still miscarried but for a short time I wad happy and seeing the ticker reminded me that, today I am pregnant and love my baby. I know everyone sees it different, and I'm offering no flames, but for me seeing it made me happy and that out weighed my fears.

I'm not judging people who do it, I just personally don't understand it. I do get your reasoning provided though. I went through a c/p as well, so I def know how it feels, but I also think that's given me a little more reason to be cautious.

I always think the same thing! Like, you couldn't wait a week even! And it's usually an obnoxiously large and obtrusive one too with a large fetus pic or comparing your baby to a piece of fruit. But who knows, I might do it too when my time comes!

FWIW, that was for my baby I lost at 6 weeks, not my cp.
