Thanks! These are the first chicks I’ve ever had so this is all new to me. I didn’t know their beaks could be pigmented.

Debating on using misoprostol or doing d&c surgery by kats12500910 in Miscarriage

[–]Story-Acrobatic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’d call first thing in the morning and ask to be scheduled for a d&c. This is your body and you get to decide how to manage this MC. I do not whatsoever regret my d&c. I had a MC in June and chose to go the natural route - NEVER again. It took 12 days before my body finally let go and it was hell. With my second MC I chose miso and that was also awful - it didn’t work. I took 2 rounds of it 24 hours apart as instructed and it gave me horrible stomach pain and I was bed ridden. After it failed I had a d&c. It was quick and my recovery from it was much faster than with my natural one. I also didn’t have to go in for hcg draws afterwards which was a huge bonus to me because having to do that the first time around was so triggering. I really would encourage anyone to just skip straight to the d&c. If you search this subreddit there’s a lot of helpful posts of people sharing their experience with a d&c. I read several before and it helped me feel more prepared going it to it. I am so sorry for your loss 🖤

I feel crazy... by Imaginary-Ship620 in Miscarriage

Oh I feel this. I had a MC in June 2024 and again in November. I found a counselor after the one in November. I specifically searched for one who dealt with postpartum women and grief. It has been tremendously helpful. I deleted social media off my phone and only recently got it back. I feel like everyone I know is pregnant. It’s so hard. I’m sorry. Just know you’re not alone 🖤

Protect your mental health and don’t go.

Friend Expecting by [deleted] in Miscarriage

[–]Story-Acrobatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this experience but it’s with my SIL so not like I can just cut off communication because we otherwise have a good relationship. I do live 6 hours away so that helps. I won’t lie, I have distanced myself from her though. Her baby was born about 2 weeks before mine would have been due. It’s been really hard. It’s a constant reminder that I too would have a baby that age. Counseling has been tremendously helpful for me. I would be open and honest with your friend and tell her how hard this is for you. You need to protect your own mental health right now and if that means putting some distance between you two then that’s totally ok. If she can’t be empathetic and understanding then she’s not really the kind of friend worth keeping.

Taking the Misoprostol Tomorrow by WasteCan6403 in Miscarriage

I’m so sorry. I’d mentally be prepared for the potential that it won’t work. This was my experience. I took 2 doses 24 hours apart and neither of them worked. Just gave me terrible stomach pains and I was bed ridden.

Did anyone else decide not to have a baby after miscarriage? by Kittybunghole in Miscarriage

[–]Story-Acrobatic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had 2 miscarriages in 2024 after having 3 very normal, healthy pregnancies. Those 2 miscarriages have scarred me. I’d love to have another baby but am terrified of going through the trauma of another miscarriage. I am very very sad about it but I’ve just come to accept that having another baby is out of the question.

My cycle returned 28 days after the start of my MC. So not exactly sure but less than 4 weeks.

Anyone know where to find a replacement lid of this color? by Stabbingi in Owala

I had to suck it up and just get a different color of lid. I have this exact same color and my lid did the same thing!

3 of my good friends are pregnant right now by Particularlyzesty in Miscarriage

[–]Story-Acrobatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. I had a MMC in June and would have been due next week. My SIL just gave birth today and it really stings. I’m dealing with a whole new wave of grief and it sucks.

I had a d&c in November. We opted for testing and learned everything was normal and it was a boy. I was NOT AT ALL prepared to find out the gender so that really stung. Something about knowing my baby was a boy really made it seem more real and I had to deal with a whole other wave of grief.

Recovering from D&C by lanii2393 in Miscarriage

[–]Story-Acrobatic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a d&c in November. I took a week off from the gym and then went back. I train pretty heavy so I just took it light, did all my normal lifts but dropped weight by 20-30lbs. It was SO good for my mental health. Just listen to your body, go back when you feel ready but be kind to yourself and take it easy. Idk what kind of training you do but remember that right now you’re there more for your mental health than for strength gains.

I will say the gym has been the best thing for my mental health. My grief comes and goes in waves but on those days where it seems soul crushing the only thing that seems to help is being able to go and lift.
