There's so much going on for everyone here. Will take me a while to catch up with what everyone is up to I'm sure.
Cheryl, no wonder you are tired - you practically only just gave birth to your little boy.
I found that when I had Luca people forgot really quickly (if they acknowledged it at all) that I had physically been pregnant and given birth. There was no 'sit down, would you like a drink, etc' like when you have a living baby. And grief is exhausting. Be kind to yourself and make sure you ask for help when you need it. I found that a couple of months up the track I was still finding it hard to cook proper meals and one of my friends rang around to get a few people to cook one for us. It made a huge difference and gave people something to do when they didn't know what to do/say.
Beata, that sounds really promising
Bec, I too wanted to start TTC straight away. I have managed to wait 4 months. I started seeing a naturopath after Luca died (to try and prevent getting the maternal condition that caused him to die next pregnancy) and she said 'give me a couple of months to get you healthy' and that was the incentive I needed to wait a little while. I'm glad I did - a few months has made a big difference to my energy levels. The last couple of months I've been charting and felt sad not TTC around ovulation. That's when I knew I could not wait 6-12 months. And I also read that it can take women 5 years to feel resolved about a loss, and I'm certainly not waiting that long! It's such a personal thing.
Dee, good luck for friday. Hope your transfer sticks and grows.
