    Introduce yourself and anything you think is important: number of loss(es), when you had the loss(es), diagnosis/conditions surrounding loss, etc. MMC/Blighted Ovum that lead to D&C July 2021

    Status: Waiting to confirm O

    How are things going? What is something that you are struggling with and/or what is going well? Things are middle of the road right now. Trying to get back into the swing of things. I have a lot going on with work, family, getting over Covid and such, so just trying to balance it all. 

    Any testing coming up/any recent results? Next Monday I will be getting bloodwork done (CD21 testing) to check my levels and see what sort of plan we can make going forward as we've been trying for a year now.

    Questions? None at the moment

    GTKY: Besides your SO, who/what is the biggest source of support on this journey? My mom! When I had my loss and had an emergency appt at the Dr that DH couldn't leave work for, she was happy to pick me up and drive me and sit in the office for over an hour with me. We had almost not told my parents, but I am so happy that we did because having my mom there for me though it all was so helpful.

    @tessiesmom26 I'm glad your mom was such a great source of support! I do think everyone should tell at least one person besides their partner about a PG because regardless whether the news is good or bad it is a lot to digest alone or with only one other person.

    Introduce yourself and anything you think is important: number of loss(es), when you had the loss(es), diagnosis/conditions surrounding loss, etc.     MC at 8 weeks in Aug. 2021, CP in Dec. 2021

    How are things going? What is something that you are struggling with and/or what is going well? This weekend was good staying busy visiting some family, but I ended up sick on Sunday evening and that wasn't fun. Especially since I couldn't even pretend to SS or anything. Feeling a little better today so hopefully I'll be patched up before FW.

    Any testing coming up/any recent results? I need to make the appointment to go over my thyroid results and request additional thyroid testing, but I just can't make myself do it. If I don't do it, I can continue to live in the denial that everything is fine, right??

    Questions? Not today

    GTKY: Besides your SO, who/what is the biggest source of support on this journey? One of my best friends. She suffered several miscarriages during her family journey and she was an invaluable source of information and support when I went through mine.
