    How are things going? What is something that you are struggling with and/or what is going well? Things are fine. I'm just glad spring is picking up. WE are just over a month out from Market season. Seedlings are going. WE are slowly getting spring plants in the ground. Starting to sow summer seedlings. Prepping our overwintered peppers and eggplants for reemergence. Keeping myself somewhat distracted from being too obsessed over TTCing. Though focusing on work has been hard.

    Any testing coming up/any recent results? Testing window in conveniently falling during the weekend which means I don't think I'll be able to escape too much to test with Lucas being home LOL. Though me mentioned maybe needing to go in on the weekend to check in on his cells? I'm just not sure if it's this weekend or next.

    Questions? nope

    GTKY: Where is the place you’d most like to travel to? Germany and Italy. Maybe Greece too. Crazy bucket list is Ukraine and Chernobyl but that's not happening anytime in the foreseeable future. #thanksvladdydaddy

    I’m Devyn - I’ve been hanging around in the other groups but have been having a hard time lately and decided to pop over here. I had a CP in July 2022 after 6 mo. of trying and now I’m on my first round of Letrozole to try to get pregnant again.

    How are things going? What is something that you are struggling with and/or what is going well? I’m having a really hard time because my due date would have been March 20 (which is also my birthday) and was really hoping to be pregnant again before hitting that. Needless to say, that didn’t happen… And what makes is harder is that my husband’s best friend and his wife had the same due date, so they have a beautiful baby girl and I have a bottle of pills that MIGHT help me get pregnant again. I feel like a horrible person and a crap friend for feeling so jealous and upset.

    Any testing coming up/any recent results? No tests, just waiting to see if meds will help.

    Questions? Any suggestions to help with the lingering feelings? I know the Letrozole can cause low mood and my doctor also took me off my anti-depressants to help with TTC, so I feel like it’s just a horrible cocktail for emotions.

    GTKY: Where is the place you’d most like to travel to? Our goal is to travel to all 7 continents and so far we’ve hit North America, Europe, and Africa.

    we are currently going through our third loss, missed miscarriage, d and c last Friday. Unexplained RPL. 

    Status: waiting. Tracking down to zero, so we can try again. Feeling stuck and hopeless. 

    How are things going? What is something that you are struggling with and/or what is going well? I get HG when I am pregnant, the hospital just called to set up the infusions for my pregnancy. My pregnancy that is gone. I’m not okay. 

    Any testing coming up/any recent results? Follow up with the doctor in a week. Therapist again next week. 

    Questions?

    GTKY: Where is the place you’d most like to travel to?  Croatia. It looks absolutely beautiful.

    @dmcg17 one of my best friends is due right when we would have been. It’s so hard. Definitely taking a step back from our friendship for awhile. 
    It’s especially hard because hers was accidental, they are struggled financially so she is complaining about how hard / awful it is they are adding to their family unintentionally and we are dealing with loss and infertility. It’s a nasty mix of emotions for sure- jealousy, anger, grief…

    @charmedlifex3 it's so fucking hard when stuff comes in post MC for the would be pregnancy. My baby asprin was filled the week I learned of my MC and I had to tell the pharmacy to reshelve it because I no longer needed it. Sending you all the virtual comfort right now.

    @charmedlifex3 Ugh, that’s the worst! I keep trying to be happy for my friends and family and send the, “OMG, so cute, congrats!” messages, but in my head I’m just so angry, jealous, etc. Wishing you all the best.

    @stashattack I’m so sorry that happened. I feel like you don’t think of all the little things that will hurt when they come up.

    @dmcg17 I’m so sorry. The due dates and anniversaries are so so hard, and that’s so extra hard to watch someone close to you have something that you lost. Sending you a big hug and a lot of strength. One thing that helped me was to do something special on the due date. We had cupcakes and celebrated the baby we didn’t get to meet. It sounds kind of weird but it was helpful. 

    @charmedlifex3 I’m sorry you got that painful reminder. It’s hard to be reminded but then doubly hard because then you have to explain the situation to a stranger. Every time I have gone for bloodwork in the last year I have been asked if I am there for my NIPT and every time I have to explain the situation it stings a little. The bloodwork order finally expired in January and I am looking forward to never having that particular conversation again.

    @maggiemadeit Thank you. ❤️ Honestly, I’m really just glad to be able to vent on here because I feel like no one I’m close to gets it. Even my one friend who had a loss around the same time I did is now pregnant with her second kid, so I can’t help but just feel like, “Okay, but you have a son and another baby due in August…I have nothing…” when she tries to connect on the loss piece.

    @charmedlifex3 That’s TERRIBLE. I can’t believe they sent that to you! I’m so sorry!

    Thank you all. I was like… am I overreacting? But I think no, I’m going to write a letter to the hospital coordinator and suggest maybe they look at what KIND of surgery it was and the outcome before sending those.

    @charmedlifex3 I think that’s a great idea. Let them know how messed up it was and how they should be more careful about what they send out.
