Do you ever feel like no one understands what you are going through in real life? You ladies are the only ones who I feel like I can tell things to. You always make me feel not so alone in this crazy ttcal world. Every month family asks "Are you pg yet?" When you say no, they just tell you to be patient. I don't even like to talk about it to any of them anymore. It seems like they think you are crazy. They just don't know how it feels. Even dh doesn't understand. He got over losing the baby real quick. I can't tell him how I feel....like somehow it was my fault or that I feel like I could've done more to prevent it. I know none of this is true, but I still feel so lost even after 6 months. Does it ever get better? I have a beautiful dd who wants a baby brother or sister so bad. How do you explain to a 3 yo that you're trying? I'm sorry to vent. I just feel really sad and alone today for some reason. I hope you ladies have a wonderful weekend. I probably won't be on much this weekend, but I'll be back Monday!!! Thank you all again for listening and all the kind words you always seem to have.

We feel the most about a loss because (I believe) it's OUR body that the baby was in. There is just a bond there. I think what you're feeling is similar to many women. Maybe that is why we all come here, to make sure we're not crazy in how we feel. It's hard. When I get sad or down, its difficult to climb out of that hole, but you must.

Try to have a wonderful weekend, and post if you need to.

Thanks! I do okay, but for some reason today has just been one of those hard days. I'm sure it will pass, but it's nice to know that someone else out there understands what you're going through.

I'm sorry you're having one of those days - they stink! Some days just seem so hard. I try not to say too much to DH b/c I feel like that's all I talk about sometimes, but I can't help it. It's almost always right in the back of my mind. I count every little milestone, think about what week I would've been & what I'm missing. It's hard and I think we want that BFP to help ease the loss a little.

Thank goodness for JM where we can vent away to people who know exactly what we're going through. I hope you have a good weekend

I'm the same way about not talking to dh about it. He says if I can't get over it, then we don't need to ttc again in case it happens again. They don't understand. I wish they did so they'd know how hard it is sometimes. You have a good weekend also.

My mother did that "are you pregnant yet" thing. I told her that I didn't want to talk about it, and when I was pregnant and ready to tell them I would tell them, and until then to just not ask. Of course, she asked the day I started my period, so I was really upset.


Maybe you should say something like that. Straight out tell them not to ask about it yet, because you can't handle right now.


I'm sorry that you're having a hard time.

I hate those days as well. I have in laws always asking when we are going to be pregnant again. Don't want to say well, we are trying. I wish it were that easy.

I'm sorry you're not having such a good day. It's hard not to have them. Please know you're in my heart.

I'm sorry you are having one of those days. I agree that unless you have gone through it you just can't completely understand. I know guys, grandparents, even friends and other family can hurt and grieve too, but it's not the same as us. I hope you have a great weekend
