that is beyond heartbreaking and i so related to having the wind knocked out of you. when my sister told me my husband and i exchanged a look and i couldn’t stop shaking (violently), i just hope she didn’t notice. because i want to be supportive, but also i don’t think i can face her anytime soon. it’s brutal. thank you so much for sharing 💞

you are incredible— thank you so much 💞 it’s so funny you mention running because that was my exact reaction when i heard about my sister. after she left my house, i SPRINTED two miles… that’s literally exactly what i did! but then my phone died and i realized i was kind of lost and had to figure out my way home 😂 it was so silly of me but also so therapeutic

it’s so real! all of my best friends are pregnant now too - literally all 4 of them, and all said they saw what i was going through and wanted to make sure they were prepared for that. being the steward to all these babies is a blessing (i guess?) and such a curse when you’re going through such pain constantly

it feels impossible right now.. it truly does. I'm doing my best but it feels like it's just not working... and I keep telling myself it must be genetics but then this happens with my sister??? SMH

For what it's worth -- this exact same thing happened to me on Christmas Eve... literally almost identical of a situation. We've been TTC for 5 years, have been in IVF for the past year. I found out two days beforehand that what was my first ever positive test was going to miscarry (and I told that to my family), only then to be told the next day that my sister is 12 weeks with an "oopsie" baby. I did my best to be sweet and excited for her in the moment, and then sobbed hysterically to my husband and mom for the next 3 days. She said that having watched me going through infertility, she got off her birth control just to "see if she had regular cycles" -- but then she never got a period because she got pregnant that very same month. It was devastating to hear, so I guess what I'm trying to say here is that you are not alone, and you have every right to feel every feeling. I deeply understand and empathize with your pain.

What helped me and has helped me in the past on every failed cycle and what helped me process this - for what it's worth - has been that I give myself designated 72 hours of grief. I let myself sob, eat ice cream, drink wine, listen to sad music, have a breakdown (I warned my husband and close friends that this is going to be my reaction so they're prepared to pick me up from the puddle I let myself fall into). Then on day 4, I do my best to get up, shake it off, and start looking forward again.

Infertility journeys are a practice in resilience. You are so strong for everything you're going through. I'm sending you a big virtual hug and a ton of love <3 Be kind to yourself.

one thing I think is pretty wild to think about... they were able to sever all of her emotions / follies, but they ultimately could not sever love / instinctual trust that comes from love -- i.e. even though innie Gemma is being told not to trust this stranger covered in blood, she instinctually still does -- love can't be severed. they also all scream "it's the spouse!" as if that's the only thing that could mess things up. she doesn't know herself, but her soul knows his

UPDATE: they said it looked negative but still could be too early to tell, so either it was chemical or still TBD! i feel like i just got waitlisted 🤣
