Hello lovely ladies!
Becky,
The worst part is over sweetie, it really is. You're right, going to the clinic and have the confirmation that everything is out gives you a sense of closure and that is vital. It doesn't make the experience any easier, and nope, most professionals absolutely don't get the fact that you lost a BABY and not a bunch of cells. We're there for you sweetie... *HUGS*
Carolyn,
Hey, so unfair! I replied to your post yesterday and you said that no one was around!

Wow, Prague next week already?

So cool!!! How is work? LOL and what kind of regime makes you pee so much??? Drinking lots of water I guess?
Angie,
Hi girl! Oh, it's always so GREAT to have you around, even for a quickie!

Come back soon!!!
Angel,
I read your post and I understand you too. During hard times, and even now, most people around me are unable to understand what I've been through. Some tried, but most failed. I think it's like that in general, when you think about it. Each person goes through their own experiences with their own points of view. Sometimes, it's similar to yours and you feel they understand you more easily, sometimes it's very different and you feel that they can't help you. I don't think there's a good and bad way to deal with that, it's a personal choice. About keeping it inside, well... I can say from experience that "talking about it" is not always the best option, even if so many people believe it is (thanks, pop-psycho!). If numbing your emotions is what's happening right now, then it means it's what you need right now to keep your sanity and keep functioning. Forcing you out of it might make matters worse. Numbing will never solve problems, but it's protecting you now. Eventually, you'll come out of it, either gradually or something will act as a catalyst. Respect your rhythm. Sometimes, when I feel like I can't really speak about something with anyone because they won't understand, writing it down helps. It structures my thoughts and many times I'm surprised to find new explanations to how I think or feel. Hence my long posts, LOL!

Bottom line is, don't feel guilty for not doing this or that. There is no one good way to deal with a BFN. Respect your limits, but don't let this unhappiness drag for too long. It's one thing to numb a part of you and bury it for a while, it's another thing to feel unhappy in all the other areas of your life. *HUGS*
Miracle,
Hi girl!! So happy to see you around! Aw, you're such a sweetie, I missed you too you know! Your Xmas card stayed on my mantlepiece and I often had a thought for you, DH and your furbabies during the holidays!

By the way, did you receive mine?? Yeah, the family reunion we had will have lots of consequences, some bad I'm afraid. But despite all that, I still think it's for the best. Some things need to be said, period. At least I have my husband and furbabies to come back to; we love our love nest and we have a very healthy relationship! That's a start!

I'm so glad you got to celebrate with Mollie and Charlie!!! Did they get nice presents? Daria and Toulouse got a new rope to munch on (still have to teach them to munch on THAT instead of, say, the carpet, the doorframe, and so on!) and homemade cookies!
Okay ladies, take care!
