I agree, I really don't want to bury my feelings and have it just cause more anxiety down the road. </p> <p>I hope that things are going well and that the OPKs this month worked for you. I have my fingers crossed! :goodluck: :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-poas/page/29#post-2688536 Sat, 28 Jan 2017 18:22:35 +0000 jhd 2688536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@periwinklebee: I'm so sorry. :heart: Take care of yourself. And don't be afraid to let yourself feel sad if you need to. I mean that in the kindest way possible. I have had to learn that over the past couple of years. We have experienced some difficult things and I sometimes didn't allow myself to feel sad about it because I felt guilty for being sad because others might be experiencing something even more difficult. I hope that makes sense. You have been and continue to be in my thoughts. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-poas/page/29#post-2688488 Sat, 28 Jan 2017 14:34:50 +0000 periwinklebee 2688488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@madisonbee: Thank you - you guys are the best! :heart: Sending lots of baby dust - we'll get there eventually! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-poas/page/29#post-2688479 Sat, 28 Jan 2017 13:33:27 +0000 Mrs. Oreo 2688479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@periwinklebee: I'm so sorry. I've been reading your posts on different threads about your recent appointment and I'm heartbroken for you. Take care of yourself and please know we're always here. :heart: :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-poas/page/29#post-2688478 Sat, 28 Jan 2017 13:29:33 +0000 periwinklebee 2688478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bizwitch: You're not alone :heart: I'm sorry - it's so hard. </p> <p>I doubt I've found the right approach to TTC, but I think my attitude right now is to just remind myself that it will get better, even if the ultimate outcome isn't a baby, most people eventually find peace with whatever happens. It's just a matter of putting one foot in front of the other, until it works out or we find a different path.</p> <p>Right now, it feels hard. Our embryo was measuring way behind yesterday and it's heart was barely beating. The doctor thought dates might just be off, but I know I didn't get a BFP at 2dpo (right, I wish), and everything points to the prognosis being pretty grim for measuring that far behind and having such a low heart rate at this point. I just don't think it's realistic to have much hope. This morning my husband said something that really hurt, though I realize after talking through it that it was just a miscommunication and he's just at a loss about why I seem so sad. I can't go out and do anything because the doctor told me to stay off my feet due to another complication, I feel super nauseous, and now keep having vivid dreams about having a painful miscarriage and having my period. In some sense, though, I know I should feel in a better place than a couple of months ago, as we're very lucky that we were able to get pregnant, even if it doesn't stick.</p> <p>I know that things could be so, so, so much worse - facebook reminded me this morning about some pictures from a trip to Syria I'd uploaded 10 years ago, I just can't believe what has happened there. But thinking about how bad things could be just makes me sad for the world. I'm trying to let go of the fear that I'll never be a mom, because I think that's at the root of a lot of the negative emotions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-poas/page/29#post-2688476 Sat, 28 Jan 2017 12:51:30 +0000 knittylady 2688476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I had a mc before DS1 a coworker told me this and it really stuck with me. I hope it' helps you the way it helped (and helps) me. </p> [attach=2372/17/oki4bi.300x168.lennon.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-poas/page/29#post-2688474 Sat, 28 Jan 2017 12:44:33 +0000 Mrs. Oreo 2688474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bizwitch: you're speaking to my soul, sister. I'm surrounded by highly fertile and pregnant women at work. As I type this, I'm standing behind a pregnant lady at the bank. </p> <p>It'll happen to us soon. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-poas/page/29#post-2688467 Sat, 28 Jan 2017 12:06:27 +0000 dominobee 2688467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just want to say something that borders on whining, but I have no place else to post it but here:</p> <p>It feels like everyone has a baby but me. Cousins that are 8 years younger. Friends from high school and college. Coworkers. Neighbors. Friends. The lady at the grocery store. The man waiting at the bus stop. Everyone. But. Me. :crying:</p> <p>I know it's not true. I know many people struggle, privately. But I still want to whine and cry when I see parents and children everywhere I look, online and in the real world. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-poas/page/29#post-2688458 Sat, 28 Jan 2017 11:17:17 +0000 knittylady 2688458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bizwitch: I'm sorry. That really sucks. I hope your body is just adjusting to clomid and next cycle will be it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-poas/page/29#post-2688447 Sat, 28 Jan 2017 10:24:44 +0000 Mrs. Oreo 2688447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bizwitch: chocolate sounds perfect! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-poas/page/29#post-2688440 Sat, 28 Jan 2017 09:53:00 +0000 dominobee 2688440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Synchronicity @snarkybiochemist: Thanks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-poas/page/29#post-2688437 Sat, 28 Jan 2017 09:48:00 +0000 periwinklebee 2688437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bizwitch: I'm sorry :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-poas/page/29#post-2688436 Sat, 28 Jan 2017 09:40:35 +0000 Synchronicity 2688436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bizwitch: I'm sorry, friend :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-poas/page/29#post-2688433 Sat, 28 Jan 2017 09:29:44 +0000 snarkybiochemist 2688433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bizwitch: chocolate helps me more then alcohol.
