Rough day. Getting ready to go to a wedding. The bride is pregnant. I haven't cried in the longest time over our m/c, but I'm not holding it together today. Trying to hide my red swollen eyes with makeup isn't easy.
Sorry for the downer post. It's just a rough day.
In other news, I'm looking to CD1 in a matter of days. On to our next IVF cycle. Terrifying thought.

Agreed! And people cry at weddings right? Have the big cry at home and let a few fall if need be at the wedding. Sorry for the rough day.

Do you have time to put ice compress on your eyes to reduce the swelling?
I would have a drink before the wedding to help you mellow out before enduring the rest of it. Hopefully she had a big dress that you can't really see a bump etc and you can just pretend she isn't. Huge hugs.

Delino and mnj, thanks for your support
McIrish, no time for compresses. We have to leave the house soon. I'm just hoping my MIL doesn't say anything about wanting grandchildren. Ugh. I'm going to take your advice and have a drink. I'm clearly overreacting and freaking out. My poor husband. Thanks for your help sweets.

warm compress on your eyes and tell people you are tired, getting over a cold or something like that.... not sure if they are just humoring me, but this seems to appease people on the rare days I don't manage to hold it together at work. Thank goodness we have a mothering room I can lock myself into!!! At least I get to use it for something!

I'm guessing you probably left already but big ((HUGS)) I know exactly how you feel
If you haven't left, cucumber slice over your eyes in the car and throw makeup on between the ceremony and reception.
I really suck at staying pregnant
((((((((hugs)))))))
I'm sorry; I know it's hard. Try cucumbers. If you already have on your makeup, saline drops.

Sunglasses! If you can't wear those, just blame it on allergies. It's tree season right now, and my eyes are a mess anyway. And allergies can start when you're an adult.
I have been crying a lot.
15 treatment cycles: four early m/c
Moving forward with domestic infant adoption!
Home study approved 5/13, now just waiting...
