TTC After M/C
Are you trying to conceive after one or more miscarriages? How long did you (or will you) wait until TTC again?
Who or what has been helpful to you during your difficult time: faith, the support of your partner/friends/families (or did you find them unable to relate?), others who you now found out also m/c'd...
How to not be THAT person
Posted by:

on Thu Oct 18, 2012
Hi all,
I had my first pregnancy which started this past June (2012) and then M/C in late August, I was 11 weeks. What a terrible, horrendous experience, that I now know people can never relate to unless they have been there themselves, or at least been pregnant.
We weren't officially TTC at that time - I had been off B/C for ~4 months, started to track BBT and ready to try soon - I was so happy that it happened easily.
But now, how do we move forward? My cycle is all out of whack it seems, just had 1 really short one followed by now a long one. I guess we will more "officially" TTC in the next few weeks.
Really though, I need to find a way not to be THAT person - feeling like I die inside every time I see someone I know who is pregnant. None of my close friends or family have come out with that sort of news lately, but I work in a moderate-sized company (~2000 employees at my location), and have worked there for many years, so there are a lot of people I know peripherally. Every time I see YET ANOTHER person who is pregnant (or hear that someone's wife is), I just HATE that feeling I get. I want to be happy for them, but I just can't! Instead I feel miserable about myself. And this is just not me - not the type of person I am.
It would be nice to know that I'm not alone...
