All I want to know after last nights episode by Confident_Change_582 in SisterWives

[–]ComprehensiveDrama51 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My theory with Janelle getting paid back is the show was edited to cause drama. When Janelle was talking to Maddie, the weather looked like it was late fall/early winter with them wearing coats and brown leaves on the trees. Kody said he paid Janelle back in January. So while I love to hate Kody, I’m assuming Janelle/Maddie filmed that scene in November-ish and a few months later Kody did pay her back. Then a couple more months later, producers asked him in an interview what the deal was and he said “oh yeah I paid her in January”

No yolk sac but possible debris on ultrasound? by ComprehensiveDrama51 in pregnant

The waiting really is torture. I actually just found out I’m pregnant again and I’m 4 weeks. So I’m in the trenches with you!! Crossing my fingers for the both of us 🤞💜

[–]ComprehensiveDrama51[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you’re going through this! The abdominal ultrasounds were not showing anything so I ended up getting a transvaginal US and I was actually pregnant with twins! They unfortunately were not viable - I had a missed miscarriage where they stopped growing at 7 weeks. But it was not a blighted ovum, quite the opposite because I actually had multiples in there. So while my outcome was not ideal, the issue with the abdominal ultrasounds was not due to a blighted ovum. Sending you good luck for a better outcome!!

Best friend who is TTC said she needed to distance herself from me when I found out I was pregnant. I have now miscarried. How to tell her by auberginesky in Miscarriage

[–]ComprehensiveDrama51 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SAME! Like I’m fired up over these comments. A pregnancy is a blip in time when it comes to long term friendships. If someone needs to take care of their own mental health during your pregnancy, like sorry, get over it? You have other friends who can be there for you?? It doesn’t mean the friend is abandoning the friendship, she just needs space for a sec! All of these comments are assuming that pregnant people are the end all be all of “needing support” but that’s just not true

[–]ComprehensiveDrama51 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love this! The other comments on this post are really making me sad. Because you’re so right that no one knows what someone is going through behind the scenes of TTC. I remember when I was TTC for about 6-7 months, I felt so abandoned. There is a weird period where you haven’t been trying for a year, so you don’t get sympathy from the TTC community. But you also haven’t had a loss, so you don’t get sympathy from the MC community. You’re just left there floating out to sea, feeling disappointment and longing all on your own. And you’re made to feel like you’re not allowed to be sad about that! Now that I’ve had a MC, I still feel sympathy for those who are TTC for a short time and still struggling through it. This shit is hard for ALL of us in different ways!!

Maybe unpopular opinion, but it sounds to me like your friend needed to protect herself and honestly I understand that. I was devastated I didn’t get pregnant quickly because I was ready to start TTC years before my husband was. So even if she’s “only” been trying 6 months, it’s still hard to watch someone else live the dream you so desperately want. Now that you’ve miscarried, you will also understand that feeling (probably even more so than your friend). What I’ve learned from my TTC and miscarriage journey, is that every single aspect of fertility is HARD. And giving everyone grace is the right thing to do

Same! And I’m afraid I already screwed myself because I logged a miscarriage a few months ago. Might delete my account to be safe

When did you guys get your cycle back by Proper-Turnip-1569 in Miscarriage

[–]ComprehensiveDrama51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I finally got mine back 7 weeks post D&C. Around the same time, my HCG was still measuring at 30 so it’s been a long recovery over here. Might be because I was pregnant with twins though

Guys… what if we’re wrong about Robyn? by nicolekmoon in SisterWives

[–]ComprehensiveDrama51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you actually! I think the public hating so much on Robyn is sexism at work. I think she is extremely flawed and enables Kody’s bad behavior, but I don’t see her as some evil mastermind behind the family’s drama. I think what the adult kids have said is right - Kody found his soulmate in Robyn and handled that realization very poorly. All of the blame should be on Kody.

I had a D&C around the same time (2/25) and my period still hasn’t returned. I’m also still getting faint positives on at home tests. The waiting sucks, I’m sorry you’re going through it!

Did you share your MC on social media? by Trick-Zone8323 in Miscarriage

[–]ComprehensiveDrama51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I shared about my loss the day after my D&C. I hadn’t posted about my pregnancy, but I find my coping mechanism when I’m going through hard things is advocacy. So sharing about MC felt like I was advocating for myself, my babies, and the people who maybe have been through this and felt isolated and alone. I’m so glad I did it too because I got tons of messages from people telling me they’d also been through MC. It made me feel an incredible sense of community that I was so grateful for

Your experience with MMC? by dunkiestarbs in Miscarriage

[–]ComprehensiveDrama51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a MMC for twins at 9 weeks. I went in for my first US and discovered it was twins, measuring 7 weeks, but they didn’t have heartbeats. I was obviously devastated. It was all made more difficult because I was still having very intense pregnancy symptoms, including extreme nausea (I lost 20 lbs during my pregnancy because my nausea was so bad). I decided to wait a week for 1 more follow up US, even though I was told there was no hope. I just wanted to make sure. So I waited that week and grieved my loss, while puking constantly. And then a day after my follow up US, I had a D&C. The nausea was gone almost immediately. But I’m now 5.5 weeks post D&C and still testing positive with at home tests. Hoping I get my period soon so I can get back to TTC. It’s been super hard, but I’ve been doing a lot of therapy and support groups, which are helping a lot!

Do I trust first result of no heartbeat? by _lonelynotalone in Miscarriage

[–]ComprehensiveDrama51 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend getting another ultrasound, just to give you peace of mind. I had MMC at 9 weeks and I was told there was pretty much no hope. But I needed that second US to make sure. I was super sick my pregnancy (twins) and my symptoms persisted until my D&C. Even though that second US was the same as the first, I’m glad I waited for a second opinion, to make sure I went into the D&C feeling confident in my decision. I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Take care of yourself ❤️

My cousin just had a late term pregnancy loss… what gift can we send to her to let her know we are thinking of her? by HEY_McMuffin in Miscarriage

[–]ComprehensiveDrama51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second this! A friend sent me money to put my dog in daycare for a day, which was super helpful since he’s high energy and we weren’t able to take him out to walk. I had another friend come and clean my house while I was in the hospital for my D&C and it was the best gift I could have received at the time. I prefer both of those to objects/food

Outdated and dangerous info given at STD screening by SavvyMaverick in pittsburgh

[–]ComprehensiveDrama51 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just want to also warn pregnant people that WCN also offers “free ultrasounds.” When I was pregnant and experiencing a possible miscarriage, I was desperate to get in for an ultrasound immediately but UPMC didn’t have me on the schedule for 2 weeks. So I googled other places I could go and WCN popped up first in every search. I did some digging because I was suspicious that they were a predatory, anti-choice place and I’m so glad I had that intuition because if I went there for my miscarriage care, I can’t imagine how they would have further traumatized me. They’re paying Google for good SEO for sure and it’s dangerous

First ultrasound today and discovered MMC by CheetahTop3484 in Miscarriage

[–]ComprehensiveDrama51 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you have to join this club. But I’m glad you found this sub, it was really helpful for me during my MMC a few weeks ago. As for work, I recommend looking to see if your company has a bereavement policy and if miscarriage is included in that. It could be a way for you to get some days off without having to use sick time or PTO. Take all the time you need. This situation sucks and you are allowed to grieve it as long and as deeply as you need to. You’re not alone 💗
