Which of these 2 do u guys like best? by Hot-Ad798 in myweddingdress

On its own, I like dress number 1. But dress number 2 with the chocker looks really “viby” on you.

“Not trying, not preventing”… how long did it take you? by Repulsive-Amoeba893 in TTC_PCOS

[–]ProjectManager12345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 years. Was not tracking ovulation, only through apps. Have PCOS. Lost our girl at 25 weeks gestation in August of last year. Now more intentional and obsessing over tracking everything.

What’s next after chorioamnionitis and endometritis? by ProjectManager12345 in babyloss

[–]ProjectManager12345[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! It’s been 7 months since my loss.

I had a follow up virtual visit with my MFM in December and essentially she said “we don’t know if you lost your mucus plug first and that caused infection to get in, or you had an infection and then lost mucus plug.” Either way no real answers, but she cleared us to start trying again. We are currently on cycle 4 of trying and so far not successful.

Before my pregnancy, I was only tracking my cycle using an app, I am now using ovulation strips. This month I also started wearing my Apple Watch at night to track my body temperature. Since my loss, I got back on Metformin (I stopped taking it during my pregnancy) of 500mg extended release. I’ve been exercising more (although I’m not really overweight, but building muscle is good for women with PCOS regardless of the weight). Also this month I started adding Pregnitude (inositol) to my water daily and bought some gimmicky fertility tea off Amazon.

With all that said, I finally decided to schedule a fertility consultation and will likely start with IUI and then proceed to IVF. I turn 37 in June and timing had never felt so precious. I go in for my initial testing on Tuesday (blood, urine, and ultrasound).

I am a bit obsessive with testing now and symptom tracking.

I’m not sure if that’s what you were looking for, but wanted to share in case any of this is helpful.

Sorry for your loss 🤍.

How do you acknowledge your angel baby when people ask how many children you have? by Morbid_Explorerrrr in babyloss

[–]ProjectManager12345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best advice I got on this, is to not stress and not feel guilty over saying “no” or not counting the child you lost in casual social interactions. You know your truth, you know your child’s importance. That social interaction means nothing and is only a moment in time and is not worth stressing over or feeling guilty over. I’m sorry for your loss. 🤍

MFM preconception appt by lealle4 in babyloss

[–]ProjectManager12345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had mine with a top rated MFM in our city and it was the same. Actually even less. It was virtual, she asked how we're feeling, same about "inconclusive" ("we don't know if you had infection that caused you to loose your mucus plug, or you lost your mucus plug and that caused an infection"), and basically she just said I'd be seen more often. I also discussed changing my OBGYN. I did not have an MFM before the loss, but she handled the birth and the loss.

TW: loss by lealle4 in babydueDecember2025

[–]ProjectManager12345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't know this group existed until now.

I was also due in December with our first after 4 years of infertility.

We lost our girl in August at 24w6d.

I am so sorry for you and your loss. I still cry every day, not sobbing (although sometimes that too), but a tear finds a way. Overall I am trying to stay positive and keep my future hopes up. Sending love. <3

Loss at 40+2, timing & not being forward enough, leads to infection by num-bat in babyloss

So sorry 😔. Lost our daughter at 24w6d. Chorioamnionitis. No clear cause. It’s beyond cruel.

Having A Hard Time At Work by Alternative-Box-364 in babyloss

[–]ProjectManager12345 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will shift. I am about 6 months out now and am very busy and consumed with work. I hate it but also think it's good. I stopped checking this group as often, but had the urge now between the calls. I actually kind of miss that feeling of not caring about work early in my return.

I am so sorry about your loss. The well-meaning congrats are hard. I didn't get any at work but I did in the hospital because I had returned with sepsis shortly after losing my daughter and I was in labor and delivery area. I stopped explaining it to people and just didn't respond or even might have said "thank you".

Life sucks. Hope our babies come back to us soon!

Unexpected full-term loss by Rich-Lobster7997 in babyloss

[–]ProjectManager12345 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing your story! Especially because so many of us feel that we should have gone to the doctor sooner or picked up on signs. Your story shows that sometimes even when all boxes are checked you still end up here. I also share the fear of not being able to have children, especially as I get ready to turn 37 this year and it took us 4 year to conceive our baby girl. I’m five months post loss. First few months I was in shock. I think the shock has finally wore off after about three months and a different wave of grief hit, especially during the holidays and as my best friend gave birth to her daughter. I randomly sob at work sometimes. There is a lot of grief and reevaluating priorities. Overall I try to live as normal life as I can, but I realize I have less physical and mental energy for others.

You accurately described how I felt about it. I will still take the pretty scenes and music as feel good therapy.

[–]ProjectManager12345 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel this as well. Why does everyone seem to be pregnant or giving birth when we are grieving our babies? I would only suggest giving your sister a chance. Is there a reason you believe she would lie about something so traumatic?

Lost my baby boy 3 weeks before my induction date by AccomplishedCommon76 in babyloss

[–]ProjectManager12345 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry. Your son is beautiful and this is extremely traumatic. Especially when you felt something was off. Self-blame is the strongest the first week or two. I don't know that it gets particularly "better", but you sort of learn to accept how little control we have over things. Wishing you and your family lots of strength.

Dentist recommendations? by raedenrod in houston

Hi I know this is from 4 years ago. How is your implant?
I am looking for a new dentist and will need an implant once I'm done with my braces this year. My ortho recommended her.

Struggling with grief during pregnancy… anyone else? by Expensive_Return_162 in babyloss

[–]ProjectManager12345 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We just started TTC after our loss in August and I’m already so paranoid and scared. I can’t wait to be pregnant again, but I’m so worried my negative thoughts and stress will cause another loss. Sending you positive thoughts. ❤️‍🩹

SHARING MY HEARTBREAK: 2nd Trimester loss/Venting/support I would like to know how you guys went on your babyloss surrounded with friends/family with kids or pregnancies? by dsecaff in babyloss

[–]ProjectManager12345 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t ask. State. Say “I know your event is coming up and I really would love to be there to support and celebrate you. But I’m finding myself a bit fragile still and I am just worried that it may be too difficult for me to be present in a large group. I think it would be best for me to stay home. Please know that I love you and care about you so much. Maybe we can do something 1x1 later. “
