TTC After a Loss
Options

I think I may cry (pg mentioned)

Ok, so I know I'm just on my first cycle post m/c where we can TTC. So I'm not even stressed about that, yet. However today I get back from lunch and MH says oh it looks like so and so is pregnant. I say, no way, they just got married like 6 months ago, and she was adament that she wanted to wait at least a year. I see her as I'm walking back to my desk and yep, definitely pregnant, and by the looks of it around where I would be...lovely, so here I am dealing with my post m/c AF (which by the way is a total biatch, if I didn't want children so badly, I'd try to stab my uterus) and just getting over a nasty 24 hour virus where I thought I would throw up my own stomach I was puking so much, and she's happily pregnant.

Luckily MH is wonderful and told me we could take sick leave for the rest of the day if I wanted to...blame it on my stomach virus. But I need to save my leave.

I know I shouldn't be jealous of another person's ability to have children, and I'm sure I'll be happy for her when the office throws her a shower. But I'm mid-pity party and still dealing with hospital bills from the m/c, so I just want to cry.

    Emotional rollercoasters suck.  It sounds like you have a wonderful and supportive husband.  Be gentle with yourself and treat yourself to some you-time this evening.

    That first cycle is hard.  ((hugs)) and be kind to yourself.  Also, just pretend she doesn't exist.  Denial is a healthy way to cope, right?  I am sorry, hun.

    There will be plenty of wine...but I gave up chocolate for Lent. Do you think God will forgive me if I break Lent this early?

    Oh, and denial is my best friend. Luckily I work in a relatively big office and I telework every other day. I just need to get on the opposite telework schedule as her.

    Yuck, that sucks. I vote pity party with lots of wine also!

    The first cycle was really hard on me too. I'm on my second cycle now, and I'm feeling a lot better. It will get better.

    I have to constantly remind myself not to compare my situation with others. The fact of the matter is, pg women and babies seem to be everywhere after a m/c. Short of hiding out at home, we are going to be exposed and reminded of our losses. In the end, we will be stronger and more resilient, and I believe those will be invaluable traits when parenting.

    I'm so sorry hun. And don't be so hard on yourself over those jealous feelings. We all get them - unfortunately it's part of TTCAL. ((Hugs))

    I am so sorry you are having a rough day. I think it is completely normal to feel jealous of other women who are pregnant, especially so soon after your own loss. I still feel jealous when I see or hear about other healthy pregnancies. I think pjs,  ice cream, and wine sound like a great recipe for the rest of your day!

    ((HUGE HUGS))  I'm so sorry your day kinda blows.  Or majorly blows.  I wish I had advice other than the booze and chocolate binging recommended by PP.

    I am sorry! I can totally relate. There is a woman at work who just had a baby a year ago and she is pg again.  I had trouble with jealousy before my m/c - now I think it is even worse! I agree with all the other ladies - wine & ice cream!

    It ended up being a go to bed early kind of night. Stupid virus isn't gone, and I was miserable. I switched up my telework day, so if I'm lucky, I can avoid her!
