How's everyone doing? Physically? Emotionally? Physically I'm finally feeling much better. Those antibiotics were rough, but they worked. Emotionally, I'm having a hard week- this coming Saturday should have been my due date for this last loss.

How was your weekend? It was great- busy, but great.

Anything new to share? Nope

What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week?Seeing her meet Santa on Saturday. Last year, she was terrified of him, but this year she was so excited to meet him and tell him she wants a "baby doll" for Christmas.

How was your Thanksgiving? Did you do any "Black Friday" shopping? It was great- we hosted this year, which was a first, and everything went over well. The only Black Friday shopping I did was online- I just don't have the desire to deal with the crowds anymore (we used to do it every year before DD was born)

tbonequeen13 (((hugs))) for you as your EDD approaches. So glad DD was excited to meet Santa!

unringthebell (((hugs))) to you as you approach your EDD and the anniversary of your BFP. These milestones are so rough. GL potty training!

How's everyone doing? Physically? Emotionally? Physically, eh. The Methergine did not work, so I'm pretty upset. My OB can't get me in any sooner than my original follow up for 12/7, even though the med failed. No fever, no emergency. Emotionally, this is really messing me up. I feel like I can't even begin to heal until the physical part is over.

How was your weekend? It started off rough. Even though the Methergine failed, I got all the side effects and felt awful Friday. Saturday and Sunday were much better. I got to enjoy DS and start decorating for Christmas.

Anything new to share? Just in limbo.

What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week? He just started walking a few weeks ago. It was fairly warm this weekend, so we took him for his first walk in our neighborhood where he was actually walking with us, and not in his stroller. He was so excited! It was the sweetest thing.

How was your Thanksgiving? Did you do any "Black Friday" shopping? Thanksgiving had its ups and downs. We originally planned to announce our pregnancy on Thanksgiving, so it was very sad to have that as a reminder. The rest of the day was really nice. DS had a great time, and my pumpkin pie was a hit. No Black Friday shopping over here. We did a little bit of shopping on Saturday, but the rest of it was online I just don't have the patience for the crowds that I used to.

hugs tbonequeen13 and unringthebell for your upcoming EDDS. Hope you're both able to find a bit of comfort during this time.

So sorry the meds didn't work birch113 . Is the plan now another D&C? I know being limbo is so difficult...hang in there.

How's everyone doing? Physically? Emotionally? I'm doing okay physically...just finished a ridiculously hellish period. I'm just praying that at this point my HCG is 0. I'm going in for a final draw this week. Emotionally just blah...the holidays are hard when I keep thinking that I should be either holding my new baby or moving into my second trimester.

How was your weekend? Thanksgiving was great with my family. It was so nice to see my little with her cousins.

Anything new to share? Not really.

What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week? She was awesome on our long flights! She looked so grown up sitting in her own seat.

How was your Thanksgiving? Did you do any "Black Friday" shopping? Just a bit of shopping...mostly online though! Got our holiday cards so I'm excited for those!

[tbonequeen13]

unringthebell, hugs back to you and it sounds like we're in a pretty similar boat this week

birch113, i am so sorry the medicine didn't work but you still had to endure all the side effects. I hope they are able to come up with a plan so you can get this part over with and move on to healing.

cbowl, i have to battle with the same thoughts around the holidays- it stinks! Hugs to you too

How's everyone doing? Physically? Emotionally? I am doing decent both emotionally and physically.

How was your weekend? My weekend was good. Saturday was DS 2nd birthday, so it was busy with birthday stuff.

Anything new to share? Not really.

What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week? Watching him open his birthday presents. This is the first time he has been able to open presents on his own.

How was your Thanksgiving? Did you do any "Black Friday" shopping? Thanksgiving was good. It was pretty low key. I did do a little Black Friday shopping, but it was more for DS's birthday than for Christmas.

tbonequeen13 and unringthebell, hugs for you both with regards to the upcoming EDDs.

birch113,I am sorry the medicine didn't work. That is frustrating.

cbowl, I hope your HCG is back to zero and you don't have to have any more draws.

[birch113]

cbowl Thanks, lady. At my last appointment, I was told if the medication didn't work, I'd have a D&C. This Saturday will be three weeks since my lost, so part of me is wondering if, at this point, they will make me wait until I get my period, then follow up again to see if I need a D&C. I just want the physical piece behind me. (((Hugs))) to you. The holidays are so rough. FX your HCG is 0.

tbonequeen13 Thanks. Even if the physical part does get dragged out, at least we have our initial consult with the RE on Wednesday, so I can feel like we are starting to move in the right direction.

@woodebshoes Happy birthday to DS!

I am feeling a lot better now as compared to previously. I think it is because of the progress that my process has made so far. The clinic and the employees are really friendly, however, during work they are professionals who work to their utmost capability. I went to meet the surrogate a few days back. The experience was wonderful. It was like I instantly connected with her. She was so nice and humble. I can't wait for this things to finally start.
