Trouble TTC

Need Some Support

So at work today we had a baby shower for a girl in the office.  I just had a miscarriage last week.  As we were all eating one of the ladies in my office turned and looked at me and said so you are next, when are you going to have a baby?  I couldn't believe she said that and I ran out of the office crying.  It was so horrible!!! Has anyone else ever had to deal with this and if so how did you get past it?

    I'm so sorry for your loss. I've had a similar situation at work with a gal I've known for quite some time. She's pregnant and keeps stopping by to tell me all about it and says things like that constantly. I just smile and nod even though it kills on the inside.

  • Thank you everyone for the kind words.  I try not to take things to heart as I know people mean well when they say these things but as we all know that can just be so hard at times. **Hugs** to everyone!!
  • I'm sorry. Sometimes there are no words, just time that helps. Be kind to yourself and remember to eat, and sleep and focus on you and your husband. You will be resilient, but with time. Hugs!

    I am so sorry for your loss. I had a similar thing happen to me. I had a cousin call me to congratulate me on my BFP. I had already had a mc so that conversation was really awkward. She felt terrible, and I had a good cry afterwards but you just have to keep your head up and stay positive. Don't lose hope. Good luck I hope you are next.

  • Sorry for your loss.  People just expect people to have a baby after they been married for a while.  I get it all the time.  When are you going to have a baby?  AND lots of questions.  I usually just say hopefully one day.  I don't need people in my business.  Hang in there.  
    ***SIGGY WARNING***

    DX: Unexplained
    6 Failed IUIs (Clomid and Gonal F).  
    IVF #1 began August 2013- BC, 4 days of Estrace, stimmed with Gonal F and Menopur, Ganirelix, 9R 5M 5F, Medrol and Doxycycline, 5 day transfer of 2 early blastocysts- good quality, Progesterone, Estrace, and baby aspirin, BETA on 9/20 BFN,   IVF #2 began September 2013, stimming with Gonal F (higher dose) and Menopur, Ganirelix, 18R 14M 9F with ICSI, 5 day transfer of 2 BBs one was starting to hatch, 2 frosties: 1  BB and 1 AC, BETA on 10/21, BFN BETA was a 5- chemical 
    Getting some more testing and trying to figure out what the issue is before FET in December, started acupuncture on 11/10, RLP and some other BW nothing major to report except slightly high Prolactin. Prolactin was slightly high when I started with my RE and I already had an MRI which was Neg.  Endo biopsy=negative.  WTF is wrong with us???
    12/18/13 FET of 1 BB and 1 AC.  Hoping for a miracle.  Beta 12/26 Low BETA-8 2nd BETA 5- chemical
    After 3 failed transfers IDK where to go from here.  Still no real answers as to why this isn't working.  Getting a second opinion in February and looking into immune testing.

    All Welcome
  • I'm so sorry you had to deal with that. It is so difficult when people ask questions (usually obliviously well-meaning) that end up being so hurtful. I usually just offer some vague "we'll see" and change the subject. Two days after I had a mc one of the other girls I work with announced she was pregnant and it was so hard. Sending positive T + P your way!
    Me: 31, DH: 31, TTC since April 2011. "unexplained" dx
    Initial testing through OB in August 2012, including HSG and SA
    Sept 2012 BFP, m/c at 7weeks.
