Hello everyone. I wish I could say I was happy to be here...but I am taking comfort in the fact that I am not alone.
I am joining you from the June 2017 board...my little peanut would have been due June 12th. After battling spotting which turned into bleeding and finally heavy bleeding and cramping this morning little peanut just couldn't make it any longer. We battled slow riding HCG levels and I was hoping that we would make it through together but sadly it just wasn't in the cards.
I just read a post from a May mom who was thinking about posting on social media regarding their loss. I have also had the same thought. This is so new that I'm going to take a couple days for it to settle in before deciding and then we will see how I feel. I do think that as a whole it should be a more discussed topic so we don't have to hide it.
I am going into work this afternoon and I hope I can keep it together. I am a horse trainer and the whole "getting back on the horse" term totally applies here. Need to go hug my horse and have a good cry and process this.
Re: I don't want to be here...but am happy to have support.
Don't feel like you need to make a decision now. Or that it's all or nothing. You can always post about it later, if you decide.
I have been very open in-person with people in regard to my m/c but chose not to post on FB because I don't tend to post there much.
When you've been married this long, you need a ticker to remind you.

Only three people know about my m/c and I only told them when I knew things were not looking good. Do what you are comfortable with. Social media, no social media... it all depends on your comfort level.
