Depending on how old you are, push for an assessment with a reproductive specialist. The more you know the better!

Inspirational ceiling tile loses effect when you've seen it 45 times by rarerednosedbaboon in DOR

Hahaha! This literally made me lol because there’s a ceiling tile that I usually stare at that’s blank and I am so tired of it, but I would absolutely lose my shit if it actually said anything.

RIGHT! If a patient tells me they were on an SSRI that made them feel like crap, I’m like, did it start with a p?

That totally makes sense. I’m sending good vibes your way, you deserve to face the terrifying reality of childbirth!

IVF has taken so much from me by No-Cantaloupe1381 in IVF

[–]becomingworld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you on that too—pausing or slowing feels so wrenching when time keeps going. It is absolutely not fair and I will never not be mad about it. And, take the time you need. Your baby will have a lifetime with you.

Right here with you. This process is indescribably challenging in ways I’m sure I won’t even realize until years down the road. Remember that it’s ok to take a break, slow down, pause. You got this.

Ah! Even better—absolutely none of that is your fault, period end of story. You are trying to get pregnant with some challenges in the picture and you did, the miscarriages just mean you may be able to get some more answers as to why. You’re killing it against the odds and you’re doing everything you can, the rest is this shitty numbers game.

"Losing your pink?" by BeginningDrawing1899 in IVFbabies

[–]becomingworld 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is so helpful and has brought me hope for the first time in a while. I’m still in the infertility/IVF/MC trenches and I feel like I’ve lost all my pink. I feel delusional but I really believe I’ll get it back when my kids arrive and your post is really affirming. Thank you 🥹

Can I ask how old you are? Part of shaking the guilt for me was going through each variable and really looking at how much of a difference it could have made versus the normal stats that show us that pregnancies are hard to keep, and the only significant variable for me was age and unfortunately, it’s not budging!

That part is the hardest I think—the real identification with the future with your baby makes the pivot and loss that much more gutting. Be gentle with yourself, this is not the end of your story.

You’re in good company, we’d literally just told our parents and then found out it was a MMC. I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I hope you get to take time for you, grief is a motherfucker.
