TTC after Miscarriage or Loss ~ April 08

[Emmy-Lou]

Hi Ladies..
I just came across this positive affimation on another forum and would like to share with you all as we go through this difficult process...

Affirmation

In this time of loss I call upon my spirit within to guide me to my strength so that I may find peace and completion.
I will use this strength to demand of myself and others my need to grieve completely, for this will be my first step to healing.
During my time of grief I will seek guidance not only from my inner spirit but from loving persons who may offer wisdom and comfort.
I need to understand that the soul as well as the physical body needs healing and to pay attention to this. I will learn to accept that the soul may never heal completely.
I will learn to live not in fear and once again see beauty in my world and purpose in my existence.
In spite of my new knowledge that things happen that cannot be controlled, I must call upon the places within me that tell me I do have control over much of my life and use this control to aid my healing.
Let me recognize the gift in my ability to conceive and carry life however briefly.
Let me take joy in my ability to love so deeply and desire to nurture a soul unbeknownst to me.
Let me find healing in the belief that this soul knew my love for it and that that love helped it to pass to another place.
Let me honor this short life not only with my love but in finding meaning in its existence.
Let me recognize this meaning in not only my ability to survive, but in my fullest appreciation of all the moments motherhood will bring me, along with my deeper compassion and sisterhood to other women who've experienced loss.
Let a part of this soul be reflected in the spirit of my future children, born or adopted, so that I may know it through them.
I will listen to and trust the place in my deepest heart that tells me I will once again be reunited with this soul and will fulfill the need to hold it in my arms.
I will help myself to feel comfort in the knowledge that there is a star in heaven that belongs to me.

Take Care..

Hi everyone

I haven't been in for a few days but have been keeping up to date with everything. I hope everyone is feeling great and trying to stay positive.

AFM I have been feeling a little off the last few days. Showing some simes of a BFP coming my way, but I am a little . AF is due tomorrow, but I haven't been able to help myself, so I have been POAS. Some have been a BFN, but some have had that faint 2nd line appear. So I guess I just need to suck it up and think about something else (Yeah right) for a couple of days before testing again, just to be sure, to be sure!
I have had symptoms of both pregnancy and AF so it could go either way, but I intend to stay positive no matter what the outcome.

Natty - Thanks for the . I have everything crossed at the moment.
Good for you for deciding not to have the 2nd hcg test. Keep the unwanted stress and worry away any way you can.

Wishing everyone

and

for our ttc journey.
