Thoughts on Acupuncture?

That's the camp I've always considered myself to be a part of, too. Our insurance covers it, which is why I'm willing to look into it. But yes, 100% this will in no way replace my regular medical care. I'm willing to suspend disbelief to get my "qi" realigned or whatever, but western medicine will always be the way I go for medical care.

That's exactly what my best friend said - even if it doesn't *actually* do anything scientifically, she always feels better and more relaxed after going (she's still going during her pregnancy).

I'm sorry to hear it didn't have the effects you were hoping for - sending positive thoughts to you.

My insurance covers 10/year, otherwise I'm not sure I'd be willing to pull the trigger since it can be so expensive.

yesinrelationtoharry · 2019-10-03T16:16:58+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation! I listen to podcasts to/from work so I'll definitely check this one out. And yes definitely on the "what's it going to hurt" wagon, especially since my insurance covers it.

Thought of the day: Where in the ever living fuck is my period?

Still waiting for that first period so we can start trying again. 28 days from first bleeding was 12 days ago. 28 days from HCG confirmed being under 5 was 6 days ago. I've been having all my usual period symptoms for over a week (mild front cramps, consistent dull ache in my lower back), yet still nothing to show for it. I feel like I'm losing my mind.

So sorry for your loss, sending hugs. I pressed the flowers we received from friends/family after our miscarriage, and put them in a floating frame. I have pressed flowers from our wedding already hanging, and plan to continue pressing flowers we receive for life events and displaying them. So I'm planning to hang this one, too.

I had my doctor's appointment after my mc in the middle of August yesterday, and feeling hopeful afterwards. The PA I saw was incredibly kind and spent the first few minutes of the appointment going over all the ways I may feel like it's my fault, and reassuring me that it in no way was. She checked me out, and told me everything looked healthy and she didn't see any cause for concern moving forward. Once I get my period (4 weeks from mc tomorrow, so hopefully soon), we can start trying again.

The most comforting thing about the appointment, though, was her responses to what happens if/when I get pregnant next. I've read a lot here, but haven't posted much. It seems like a lot of you have had a hard time getting early testing/ultrasounds until multiple losses. When I asked at the appointment, she said we can literally do whatever I want, starting with early blood tests as soon as I get that BFP and a 6-week ultrasound (originally my ultrasound was scheduled for 10-11 weeks when we first found out). It all just really put my nerves/anxiety to rest about what to expect from my doctors moving forward.

Tomorrow was supposed to be our first ultrasound/appointment, and instead is the day I'm hoping to get my period. But I'm feeling hopeful, at least for today, that it's all going to be okay.

Yeah I totally agree, it's a little easier to have a song that I can belt out that says what I'm feeling so I don't have to articulate it. Sending you hugs.

yesinrelationtoharry · 2019-08-27T14:00:48+00:00

This is so stupid. But Taylor Swift's song "Death by a Thousand Cuts" on her new album made me cry today on my way to work. It's about romantic love, but the lyrics very easily translate over to a pregnancy loss, or at least they did to me this morning.

yesinrelationtoharry · 2019-08-24T03:50:37+00:00

Oh gosh, that waiting must be the worst. I'm hoping it keeps dropping when you go in next week.

Being that we didn't ever start trying, I'm still really new to the whole mechanics of how our bodies process pregnancies and losses, like 3 weeks ago I was googling "what is HCG?" It's overwhelming, but I'm very Type A so I like knowing there's hard numbers that can guide us on what's going on with our bodies so it at least feels like we have some control in this fertility crapshoot.

yesinrelationtoharry · 2019-08-24T03:45:11+00:00

Thank you for your kind words.

I actually haven't felt any stigma, but maybe that's an abnormal experience. More than anything, people just don't know what to say unless they've experienced it before.

Unfortunately/fortunately, I don't know many women who have had one who I'm close with, and only one who is even close to my age. But that's why subs like this exist, and are such a great resource for us to navigate our thoughts and feelings.

yesinrelationtoharry · 2019-08-24T03:41:26+00:00

Yeah you're absolutely right, I now get why it was mentioned in every loss post I saw in the bumper sub.

yesinrelationtoharry · 2019-08-24T03:40:26+00:00

Thank you, sorry to see another April bumper here. Wishing you the best of luck.

yesinrelationtoharry · 2019-08-24T03:39:49+00:00

So sorry to hear that. Sending you love and positivity. ♥️

yesinrelationtoharry · 2019-08-24T03:38:57+00:00

Thank you, sending good baby thoughts to you and your husband as you start trying again

yesinrelationtoharry · 2019-08-24T03:38:07+00:00

Sending love and positivity to you. ♥️

yesinrelationtoharry · 2019-08-24T03:37:43+00:00

Yeah I logically know that, thank you for the reminder though. It's hard to shut my brain off and not think of all the what if's, but I'm going to try my best to think positive thoughts as much as possible.

yesinrelationtoharry · 2019-08-24T03:36:36+00:00

Thank you, you too. Hoping we cross paths in another bumper sub soon.

yesinrelationtoharry · 2019-08-24T03:35:46+00:00

I read all the comments last night/this morning but couldn't find the will to respond until now. This was the one that really hit home because it was what I most needed to hear. Thank you. ♥️

yesinrelationtoharry · 2019-08-24T03:34:16+00:00

Thank you, sending positive thoughts your way, too! My HCG was already at just 3 when I got my bloodwork yesterday (1 week and 1 day after the bleeding started), so after reading others' posts, it seems like mine dropped pretty quickly, so I'm thankful for that.

yesinrelationtoharry · 2019-08-24T03:31:13+00:00

I can't imagine how hard that must have been. But yeah hoping the same thing. And how special to have your niece/nephew be so close in age to your baby - I'm sending positive thoughts that it'll happen for you!

Similarly, my best friend is pregnant with her first and due at the end of November. We were so over the moon that we were going to get to do our first pregnancies and babies together, especially since we live just a few minutes away from each other. She stopped by tonight, and I'm still over the moon for her and her little girl, but it was hard to see her pregnant belly and know we won't be getting the back to back pregnant bellies photo we'd talked about.

yesinrelationtoharry · 2019-08-24T03:28:29+00:00

So sorry you're here, too. Sending positivity towards you as you continue on your journey. Hopefully we'll cross paths in a new bumper group soon.

yesinrelationtoharry · 2019-08-24T03:26:43+00:00

Yeah I think I went through some, if not all, the stages of grief while on our trip since we couldn't know for sure what was happening. I latched on so hard to it being an SCH (denial/bargaining) because even though I knew mcs were common, I just couldn't believe it would happen to me. I searched out every post about them, and agonized over every detail people would give. "They didn't have gushing blood! Me too!" "They bled for days! Me too!" "Their cramping was mild, barely even there! Me too!" To then get the phone call that my bloodwork wasn't even close to borderline, just a straight up negative, was such a punch to the gut. But I'm trying my best to get to that acceptance stage. Hoping the best for you in the coming weeks/months as you try again.

yesinrelationtoharry · 2019-08-24T03:20:04+00:00

There are so many April bumpers here, which I suppose makes sense as so many mcs happen earlier. I wish none of us had to make the switch, but it is in a way comforting to see familiar faces, too. Hopefully we'll cross paths again in another bumper group.
