I have my baseline appointment for FET tomorrow… our first transfer cycle since a loss in March. I’m pretty scared considering how the last one ended. Can anyone share their story of a successful pregnancy after experiencing a loss?

I haven’t made it to the finish line yet, but… 22 weeks now after an unexplained loss at 16 weeks last year (both pregnancies from genetically normal FETs). I had complications from my prior loss so it took 6 months of surgery and monitoring to even get to my second FET, and I spent the whole first trimester in deep anxiety about another loss (I still have this!) My tips - find a therapist who specializes in fertility/neonatal loss, and insist on working with a high risk OB when the time is right. This team has made me feel seen and supported in my fears and paranoia, and while pregnancy after loss is never the same as an innocent pregnancy, they have helped me start to feel the joy that is within reach. Best of luck 💕

Would you support state-level abortion determinism if there were also federal standards and requirements on providing sex education beginning in middle school, free contraceptives provided at schools, and no state limits on access to non-abortion contraceptives?

Essentially, eliminate abstinence-based education policies and replace them with progressive, sex-positive curricula, ensure there are no barriers to preventative contraceptives, but maybe your state also outlaws all abortions always?
