I went to my first midwife appointment at 9 weeks thinking everything was ok and it was just going to be a regualr visit.
Thats when I learned my baby had no heartbeat and had stopped growing 5 days earlier.
I seems it was just yeasterday it happen and then again it also feels like the longest 3 months of my life trying to TTC again.

I'm so sorry. Anniversaries suck. That same day that you found out, I was in the ER with my first miscarriage with severe abdominal pain, and I miscarried a couple days later. I hope you get your healthy, sticky BFP soon!

I know! It is so not fair how long ago that feels when you are trying to get pregnant. And how short three months ago would feel like if it were an upcoming visit from my MIL  I hope you get that BFP soon (like in a couple days!)

I just found an old blog of mine yesterday. I only made three posts in it, but those posts were so happy. I feel like I'm a different person from the girl who wrote those things... It's strange.
Really, REALLY HOPING that you have a BFP in a couple days! I'm sorry today's rough on you

Erin, I know I am totally changed after each pregnancy and loss.
I remember being pregnant with my first and saying I was never going to breastfeed and this and that.
I went on to get pregnant again and had DD and I nursed her for 2.5 years and was a homemade Babyfood making, baby wearing momma..lol
I do think I have become a very bitter person and try so hard to not be a debbie downer. I do seem to come off as rude or negative to a lot of people and don't mean to... so that is something I am trying to work on.
Thanks Ladies... Tomorrow marks the day that I had the D&E... I acually count that day as my Angelversary because its the day my angel left my body. Even though he or she passed away days before that.

I feel you. I have become very bitter also. I cry every time we go into Wal-Mart or Target and pass by the baby isle. I loathe every pregnant woman I see. I am trying my hardest to stop feeling this way. I do have my up and down days though. Give it time. I am taking it day by day.

Lindsey, I am so sorry.
It has been about 3.5 months since my D&C and not even 2 weeks since my last loss. I am even more different than I was 3 weeks ago when I knew I was pregnant. Now I know I can lose more babies than I can keep. I thought that I was okay after this last one and that trying again right away is what I want. But the anger, pain, and fear have really started to come out. I'm considering counseling.
Just know how you feel...
