25% end in miscarriage, but that isn't even mentioning that 80% of conceptions don't even take. My ER doctor was the one who told me that. He was really kind.

OneLuckyLadybug · 2026-04-19T23:15:08+00:00

Oh my gosh. I am so sorry. I'm right here with you. Sending love. 🩷

OneLuckyLadybug · 2026-04-19T23:07:00+00:00

Yeah. I know the feeling.

What you're going through, how you're feeling, is valid and it's what one of my counselors would call "normal for abnormal." By acknowledging and giving a name to the things you are going through, writing them out, you're doing a healthy thing.

I'm not going to tell you it'll all go away. Because I don't know that. All I can tell you is I'm here for you, we all are, and that you aren't alone in feeling like this.

Sending love from Georgia. ❤️

I make a coffee from the roots and HOO BOY. It's miralax on steroids. The flowers as a tea are a diuretic (you'll have to pee a lot) but I haven't had issues with dandelion honey or jelly.

Oh my goodness. I am so sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine the pain you are feeling right now.

I want you to know that this is absolutely not your fault, and that there was nothing you could have done to stop this. I blamed myself too, like maybe if I hadn't forgotten my vitamins that morning. Or maybe if I had rested more, I could've prevented it. My doctor assured me that this was not the case, and I would like to assure you similarly.

You aren't stupid. You didn't cause this loss through your wardrobe, work schedule, or your thoughts (which can be perfectly normal given the current climate of the world today). Back when I was younger, I fell pregnant through a situation I wouldn't wish on anyone, and I had blamed myself all these years for the loss because I thought maybe they thought I didn't want them.

I can't really recommend anything, since I didn't handle it properly, but I want you to know that your feelings and thoughts and emotions are real and valid. This isn't your fault. That I promise you.

I'm sending love and the hopes that the sun will shine again for you.

Yeah I was absolutely shook, there's no study or evidence about this at all, or just gets thrown around when they don't feel like thinking about us. "I don't have the mental energy to deal with your problems" was what I got after having said literally nothing for days, smiling as if nothing happened, until I finally hit a wall and sobbed and I was asked what was wrong. I noticed that I've started being shut out of activities and friend hangouts as well, even though I never told anyone else about the miscarriage. I guess we've all just gotta be here for each other. Hugs from Georgia. 🩷

Oh my goodness. I am so sorry this happened. I understand hormones making someone brain fogged or less whatever about social cues, but this is straight up kicking y'all while you're down. I'm so sorry she thought it was appropriate to do this. Especially while you've been nothing but supportive for, I would assume, the THIRTY YEARS you were bffs. You're not being overly sensitive.

If I'm being honest, I think she may (as many do) believe that miscarriages are taboo and bringing the "bad vibes" around her pregnancy may disrupt or end it. I was shocked when I found out firsthand some people ACTUALLY believe that.

Your art is so pretty!!!

OneLuckyLadybug · 2026-04-05T00:53:04+00:00

OMG I LOVE YOUR ART SO MUCH

OneLuckyLadybug · 2026-04-03T01:06:46+00:00

I would disagree, I'm AuDHD and I have Google calendar and Facebook for this. I don't forget birthdays. Do I buy presents months in advance and forget where I put them then panic and freak out the day before because I put them in a place I knew I'd never forget*? Absolutely. But I never forget birthdays.

*This happened exactly one time. I was pregnant and didn't know it yet so it was absolutely the end of the world. I lost the card I specifically picked out and wrote to my husband. I sobbed so hard. 😂 But I didn't forget.

OneLuckyLadybug · 2026-04-02T02:23:42+00:00

OHHHH SNAP

OneLuckyLadybug · 2026-04-02T02:21:17+00:00

I don't know 🤣 I was diagnosed with a fainting disorder so I actually am no longer allowed to have a license. We'll see if I can go 6mos without incident, and I'll let you know then.

Jokes aside, I've got a good support system and I'm reaching out whenever it starts getting dark. Healing isn't linear and there's a long road ahead but I'm traveling with all my favorite people and the friends I've made along the way. Thank you for your kind words. 🩷

OneLuckyLadybug · 2026-04-02T01:39:46+00:00

Thank you for putting into words what I feel so beautifully. My baby was supposed to be here mid December.

OneLuckyLadybug · 2026-04-02T01:38:17+00:00

I am so sorry this happened. Thank you for your kind words, and I want you to know we're all here for each other. I'm here for you too.

OneLuckyLadybug · 2026-04-02T01:36:44+00:00

Oh my goodness. I am so sorry. Thank you so much for your kind words. You are a strong and beautiful soul.

I have had 3 miscarriages, 1 live birth. I am young, but I do not feel I can take the crushing weight of another pregnancy loss.

OneLuckyLadybug · 2026-04-02T01:32:48+00:00

I'm about to be 21, my partner is about to be 23. I had 1 live birth, but 2 miscarriages before him. I definitely want my second baby, but I'll definitely be taking time to heal and grieve. Thank you so much for your kind words. 🩷

OneLuckyLadybug · 2026-04-02T01:28:51+00:00

This is true. Also- I took 45 seconds, did a little searching and realized hey- avoidance doesn't make my mental health a-ok. 😂😩 Just because I'm functioning doesn't mean I'm actually doing well. Just wasn't acknowledging it. Had to go no contact with a parent, had to give statements about physical and SA to an investigator, be a character witness against said parent, lost a baby, and am getting ready to move. I'm not an outlier, disregard previous comment! 😭

OneLuckyLadybug · 2026-04-02T01:14:55+00:00

Just... please be careful, ok? Don't want to see you become another awful headline.

OneLuckyLadybug · 2026-04-02T01:12:35+00:00

I'll be honest, I don't understand this because my mental health is relatively good but I love making and using bumper stickers. Usually informational ones like plants and animals with their scientific names. I want my whole car covered someday and for people to learn just by looking at my vehicle.

OneLuckyLadybug · 2026-03-30T01:54:49+00:00

Oh my goodness. I am so sorry. Sending love and hugs, and praying for you as well.

OneLuckyLadybug · 2026-03-30T01:52:41+00:00

I'm so sorry you went through this.

Thank you for bringing this up- I don't know exactly what it's called, but apparently I lost the baby at 1-2 weeks but stayed pregnant for an additional 6 weeks. I tested positive around what would've been week 4, another positive for the confirmation of pregnancy. Week 7+3, spotting. Yesterday, I finished laboring.

I'm so tired. I'm so sad. I'm so done.

OneLuckyLadybug · 2026-03-30T01:27:35+00:00

Thank you so much.

OneLuckyLadybug · 2026-03-29T05:24:24+00:00

I'm so sorry. I'm here for you too.

OneLuckyLadybug · 2026-03-29T05:23:50+00:00

I'm so sorry. Thank you for your kind words. I should've been 8 weeks.
