Our first miscarriage at 6 weeks and we are overwhelmed by grief. I don’t know how we’re to go through each day now, knowing we have lost our little one. I’m not sure how we’re supposed to try again. There is no way I can go through this loss a second time. I’m not as strong as you all on this channel, you keep trying. I’m in awe.

I am so sorry that you have to know this pain. Grief really is overwhelming. Early days of grief are unbearable. Remember it will not always feel this way. This picture helps me get through tough days. I hope it helps you too.

Thank you BCG1 for this share. I was told “grief doesn’t leave, you just grow around it” which is similar to this bookshelf. I just wish this wasn’t my story.

You are much stronger than you believe. It hurts and will always hurt but we are all built to be resilient. I’ve been here and like you, did not see a path forward. One was created before me and all I did was took the next step. I just keep taking the next step before me. We’re all in this journey together.

This is so well said ^. I’ve suffered one as well at 6 weeks and it’s the worst kind of grief I’ve ever experienced. It will get better in time despite it seeming impossible right now. But in the meantime, sit with your grief and the emotional waves that will follow. Some will feel so strong like they’re knocking you down. You’re strong and you’ll overcome it. You’re not alone ❤️

Huge hugs. You aren't alone. I was in shambles after the loss of my little one at 9 weeks. The baby we so desperately wanted and tried so hard to get pregnant for. I took off 2 months from fertility treatments just to mourn. I got my rainbow baby 4 months later. He stuck around and he's now 3 months old. Hang in there. We're here for you.

I’m sorry for your loss. Be extra gentle with yourself and give yourself time. I was heartbroken after my miscarriage (after 19 months of trying) but now I’m 20 weeks pregnant and so in love with this little girl I haven’t even met and it feels like SHE was meant to be me and if not for my prior loss, she wouldn’t be here now. I hope your rainbow is on the way soon ❤️🌈

I felt the same way after the first disappointment, like how does everyone do this???? But Here I am trying again. Apparently time does heal and you are definitely stronger than you believe.

Hey very very sorry for your loss. I had a loss in May 2019 and it took me almost 1.5 years to get pregnant again. Yes the loss is bad and I felt the same way then that I can't go through this again etc. However I felt unfulfilled as a woman and wanted to try again after a month long break. Three most important thing to tell yourself is miscarriages are extremely common and as I stated talking about it so many of my friends told me they had it to. Then surprisingly it made me feel better and accept this easily. Good luck , it does get better.

Thank you everyone for your replies. This is so tough

I’m so sorry for your loss. I’ve had 5 early losses and every time was soul crushing. Every time I felt like I couldn’t try again but somehow eventually I do. I just do the next thing and at this point IVF just feels like part of life, like going through the motions. We’re still trying after 3 years and it’s still hard but the image of grief on the bookcase really resonates with me. It’s still there and I’m tearing up writing this but it’s not the only thing I feel anymore. You will get there too even if it doesn’t feel like that right now.

I had a problem concentrating on one task, reading for more than 5 mins, and just staying on track overall with work. I was okay in college, but I did poorly in law school bc of the my inability to focus and I started to feel that way since becoming licensed. I took a vyvanse yesterday and my productivity increased ten fold. I’ve always wanted to avoid medication and did so, but I feel like I need to look into getting prescribed. Has anyone had similar experience? I know, big topic w/ lawyers.

I can’t get in to a new doctor without a long wait, nor do I have time to take off work for the appointment, which is why I was leaning towards a virtual appointment. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I am 29F and I've always had some issues with my skin (acne, etc.). It's gotten a bit better but I still have a ton of blackheads. Do you think it's better to visit a dermatologist and see if they can help me, or just to get a facial/regular facials with extractions?

I've been to dermatologists before and they haven't really helped, not sure if anyone has had good experiences with them helping with blackheads. Thanks

One time I was SO wasted at my now exes family’s big xmas party... when it was over everyone went to bed or home, I had to pee so bad but I was too drunk to remember where the bathroom is so I opened a door and it had a small space inside and I just went in the dark

The next morning it turns out that someone peed in the closet inside of his mom’s purse where she had her now damaged passport and documents. She was furious and the family was shocked, I had no idea how to tell them so I didn’t...

Quick question, I’m starting timed intercourse with medication. I received my ovidrel injextion 4 months ago. It’s been in the fridge.

I assume the fridge was a good call as that’s what the pharmacy reccomended. Should I take it out now? Leave it in till last minute? Thoughts comments?
