Lee: I know I'm a total stranger since you had left for PAML when I joined but I wanted to express my deepest sympathies for your loss. Take care of yourself.
Diane: Great news on getting your 200 responses! I didn't mind the survey at all. It gave me something interesting to do as I was rather bored at work that afternoon. Congrats on your upcoming graduation! If you don't mind me asking, what is your degree in?
Charlotte: I hope that spotting was your AF and everything has gone back to normal for you. Countdown to TTC!
Starsky: Welcome. I'm sorry for the loss that brought you here. I hope your stay is short and that you will find us to be a supportive bunch while you're here.
Penny: Glad to hear you made it thru the OB appt w/ your sanity & emotions in tact. I expect to be going in another week or so to get the results of my d&C analysis. I know I will be sitting there wondering about the other women there - pg or not, did they have a tough time or breeze right thru...? Of course I will then assume everyone is pg and that they all have no problems staying that way. I hate it that I do that but I can't help it. But as for you, I'm sure it won't be long b4 the other women will be wondering those things about you.
Kiwigirl: I agree with your comment about women having had an m/c being better able to support someone else who has suffered the same trauma. What I don't get is how some other women can be so clueless about their reaction to hearing about someone else who m/c'ed. I have seen some real doozy responses ppl have given to those in here after their loss. The lack of sympathy and decorum by some ppl lucky enough not to have gone thru this truly amazes me.
Pash: Glad to see your emoticon on 'Cheerful' - I hope you truly are. You seem to be doing amazingly well despite all the lemons life has been throwing at you. Congrats on your further HCG drop. Can't wait to get the news of your *BFP* in the coming months! It will happen - it will!
As for me, I think I'm spotting so hopefully AF is on her way. RIght on time too. Hopefully that means I'm back to normal and we can TTC in two weeks time. Yay!
Welcome Starrysky. I hope your stay here is a short one. I just seem destined to stay here forever.
Pash - I'm glad your HCG is dropping. There's more to the SIL thing that I didn't write. Lets just say that she actually doesn't care how my DF & I feel. These words have actually been spoken and have been related back to us. She knew all the circumstances about the baby stuff plus the illness that is in my family but she said she didn't care about it.... this was said when a family member warned her to be careful about smsing us because of all the stress we are under right now. I had to visit my aunt on the weekend as they have started to withdraw treatment and she will have weeks not days to live. It's really hard to watch my mum fuss over her sister while she herself is so ill. Maybe I could feel happier for her if my mum and my aunt weren't so sick but put it all together and I just can't be. They need some happy news and I am just not capable of giving it to them right now. All in all I'm actually in a very good mood most of the time, but everything going on all at once is sometimes just a little too much for me to handle.
Lee - I caught up on the details the other thread. I cried for you last night, you have experienced something I have a real fear of and I just felt devistated for you. I started thinking about you on the way home in the car and by the time I got in to my house there were tears. It was hard trying to explain to my DF that I was not crying about my own situation, but when I eventually spat it out he understood. I hope you can get the courage to try again but don't think I could if I were in your situation, then again I am a few years older than you and of course the risk for me is even higher.
Take care of yourself.
