I’m sorry for your loss 💕

I didn’t read books but I found a few FB groups and podcasts to be helpful in processing what happened and to connect with women who understood. I had a very specific type of miscarriage tho so the groups/podcasts I listened to may not be relevant for you.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this.

Like a Mother has a good chapter on the author’s miscarriage, but like an earlier poster I found forums and online discussions a little more helpful.

With my second miscarriage, I also let other people know (including a few close people at work, who were surprisingly supportive and pushed me to take 5 days off) and that was helpful too especially since loss can feel so isolating and lonely.

Whatever you do, try to give yourself some grace and lean on the people you love.

I just wanted to reach out and say I’m so sorry for what you’re going through. I don’t know about books but I recently joined a fertility group through my clinic and there are women with all kinds of fertility backgrounds in it. No one can really understand something like this until actually going through it. Sending hugs.

Am I the only person who has been super disgusted to Fishbowl’s response to the Meta layoffs? I’ve been laid off twice in my career but I’m not mad at 11000 people who no longer have jobs just cause they got decent severance while I got a week on my way out. Facebook is hot garbage but I’m pretty sure 0 out of the 11000 were making those decisions. So why are you upset about it? Urgh. Y’all are weird.

Any women here with lean PCOS? I do not ovulate on my own (metformin regulated my periods but I still don’t ovulate) and am moving from three cycles of Clomid/IUI to IVF soon. No other issues have been found other than my PCOS (HSG shows tubes open). Curious about your experiences. And the reason I mentioned lean PCOS is because it seems for others with PCOS part of the fertility path is diet/exercise/weight loss but I am already very tiny.

Has anyone switched labs for better lab quality/embryologist experience? Wondering if there is a significant difference between labs. We got poor results at our current clinic and, happens that our clinic is rated lower on SART website. Wondering if the lab quality is the reason or if the clinic handles complicated cases that lead to lower outcomes. Overall, unsure if we should switch clinics or just try again at the current one. Thanks.

Since my cycle is irregular I took another ovulation test today morning and it came back positive. This is my first time going through this and I am confused as to what is going on. Can I take a pregnancy test middle of the day?
