How are you doing? I'm ok

Status (TTA, TTC, Benched): ttc

Diagnosis (if applicable): spontaneous miscarriage

Updates/questions: first 'real' cycle after the loss. And I finally o'd on day 28. My body teased me for 2 weeks. But glad it happened at all. I didn't expect it so late. Right after the loss, I ovulated a little late (for me) on day 23. So I actually expected this first real cycle to be even closer to my normal.. not the other way around.

Debbie downer (a place to vent): I guess my update could be a vent also.

QOTW: What song are you loving this week? It's getting a little over played but I still love chain smokers 'closer'

How are you doing? I'm.. doing better post loss and extremely depressed over the election results.

Status (TTA, TTC, Benched): ttc

Diagnosis (if applicable): missed miscarriage

Updates/questions: last week I met and hung out with an online friend who had an mc about two weeks after I did, and we've been talking to each other a lot. It was amazing to meet her finally and she has such a different viewpoint and mindset about the loss that it made me do a lot of thinking.

I feel oddly better. I cried a LOT on Saturday and hid our memory box and stopped wearing my baby necklace (with its would-be birthstone), and after a huge talk with DH where we thought about finding me a counselor, I haven't felt nearly as sad. I was able to just start moving forward and stop dwelling on all the what ifs or should be's and just be and accept - for the most part.

Debbie downer (a place to vent): we have a family wedding this weekend and it's the first time I will see his entire family since the baby died. Everyone except his grandparents know, (aunts, uncles) and I'm not looking forward to it at all. Plus, I need to find a dress that fits since I gained like seven pounds while pregnant and in my grieving ate ALL the donuts and ice cream so I went up a size in all my clothing. I had to buy a size or two up in jeans and in shirts bc it all went to my muffin tops / belly area. So I have no idea what dress to wear and it doesn't help that I had thought about this wedding in terms of how I'd be 26 weeks pregnant and need a new dress and I was so excited for everyone to see me with my bump ... and now that's all gone. Sigh.

QOTW: What song are you loving this week ? It's the end of the world as we know it...? Jk. I don't listen to the radio much so I haven't played much music this week, tbh.

How are you doing? Ok (shell shocked about the election still though)

Status (TTA, TTC, Benched): prep for IVF

Diagnosis (if applicable): old

Updates/questions: I think I O'ed today, I hope my progesterone is high enough tomorrow that we can get our cycle in.

Debbie downer (a place to vent): nothing IF/loss related

QOTW: What song are you loving this week ? Hmmm, I don't listen to much music anymore, but I'm a country music gal so I listen to it but can't think of a particular song right now!

How are you doing? Apprehensive

Status (TTA, TTC, Benched): T?TC

Diagnosis (if applicable): PCOS, EP, oglio-/annovulation

Updates/questions: So we're not doing treatment right now, because my body seems to have gotten some of its shit together. I'm torn on this. I don't trust my body, but if we can save money, we should. Sigh.

Debbie downer (a place to vent): I can kind of feel myself falling into another mental rut, now that I've completed all paths in my mobile dating game. I still very much love it, but it also feels like a desperate kind of stranglehold. :(

QOTW: What song are you loving this week ? Confession by ASTRO. New single for their mini album that just released today. :)
