Becky,

The letter did make me sad and also pissed me off. I was having a fine afternoon and didnt need to be reminded that I should be "grieving" or whatever the letter said, you know? Oh well. I can always e-mail the sender and tell her to remove me from her list. I really dont need a reminder for another memorial sent to me every year near the baby's due date either. Ugh. Mad Some people just like to try and move forward and that is what will work for me best, I think.

How is school going for you? Are you still studying like crazy?

I am the same way, just want to move forward and that is what helped make me feel happy. I also think it helps a little when you already have kids, you can hold them and just sit and look at them at night and it makes things seem a little less intense, you know? I'm always being driven crazy by these kids Laughing but I love it so much, who wants a boring life?!

Oh yea. I have about 4w left. An accelerated biology (which is kicking my ass), lab, chem, and developmental psych. I think all my finals are in the same week. The chem is going great though, I have an A in the class, I rocked on my midterm. I have to get a 125/200 on my bio final to get a B in the class which I think I will do better than that, but I'm still stressing about it. Thanks for asking...and wish me luck!

Yea, I agree. I can see how it would be even more devastating for someone who did not have any children yet to have a m/c and wonder if she would ever get to be a mom. I do get comfort in the fact that I have 2 great kids and if we don't have another, I am still very lucky.

Good luck on your tests!!

Kristy- how long did it take you each time to get pregnant again? Did you have a miscarriage before both Calvin and Joshua?


Yes, I had a mc before getting pregnant with both boys. The first one I was around 14 weeks so it was a lot more physically traumatic, and that was the one D&C I had. I got pg after 3 periods, I think. It was the week before Christmas, and then Calvin was born Jan. 5, so that would be...April? They advised waiting 3 months. I probably would have tried sooner, but I lost 1/4 of my total blood volume in the mc, so I felt like I needed to give my body some time.

The mc before Joshua was early, like 7 or 8 weeks, and happened very easily on its own, and I think I got pg again after maybe 1 period.
