Today marks 2 months since my loss. I'd be 14 weeks 3 days now and it kills me to think of how much has been lost. The only saving grace is AF didn't come today. I know she's coming but if she showed today, it would be so much worse. To top it all off, Facebook is full of friends who are excited about their ultrasounds to determine blue or pink. One is finding out today, one tomorrow, and another posts her countdown every day. Not to mention all of the complaining about morning sickness, gaining weight, and all of the other things that go along with pregnancy. What I would give to have morning sickness! I'm happy for all of them but it still stings. Sorry for the downer post. I try to be more positive but every once in a while things catch up to me. I think I'll visit the Happy Happy, Joy Joy thread to get a mood boost! Thanks for listening!

 It's okay to be down. We can't always try to face the world happy when our world isn't happy. I'm sorry that you have to relive pain daily with those announcements that has to be so hard. We are here for you to rant, cry, scream or find peace with.

I am so sorry you are feeling down but it is completely understandable. After my loss in April 2009 I was a complete mess. I cried everyday for at least 3 months then slowly found moments of happiness in each day. But I was bitter and angry for over 2 years. Even now I still have moments when I am just sad over my losses. ((hugs)) It is ok to vent and scream and howl.
Just take it one day at a time and allow yourself to feel these things. Letting it out is so much better than keeping it bottled up inside.

Sorry you are having a rough day. I usually feel down every milestone I don't get to have. It definitely gets better with time though. I hope you feel better soon ((hugs))

I feel like I wrote this post!
It does gets easier, but there are still days I just can't keep it together. Today is one of those days as AF showed this am.
I REALLY hope you get your BFP this cycle!!

So sorry you are having a rough day. I think the lady that counts down each day until her u/s should be slapped  That is just overkill. I had to hide alot of posts after my losses for a couple months. It was just so hard seeing that and the complaining ugh.

I hope your day gets better and next month is your month for a beatiful stickie BFP.

You all are so wonderful and supportive. I hate that any of us has gone through a loss (or losses). It just isn't fair. We all deserve our sticky beans! And Jess, I agree about the woman counting down to her u/s...I've come close to hiding her posts!

I'm with Jess, I've hidden probably about 1/3 of my FB friends because they're either pregnant, have a new baby, or have a baby Drew's age. I'm sorry you're feeling this way, but I'm glad you feel safe enough to come here and talk with us about it.
