Thread: Emotional breakdown...

Started 1 month ago by princessdani17
I know that for all of us it seems like yesterday that we lost our little ones... and little things just make us fall apart at the seems some days. Well that was about an hour ago for me... I was getting ready to shower and dress for the day... DH's birthday is Monday 11/9, so we are celebrating all weekend... we figured we deserve a little more happiness :) so why not. Then it hit me... ...

I was just posting to someone else on the board about that feeling of being a pariah. I like how you put it, the freaked out look in their eyes. I've experienced a lot of that over the years with my earlier losses, but nothing like it's been since losing (((Sammy))). I homeschool my kids, so I've just holed up in my house and isolated myself from everyone. But when I have to go out, like to ...

Going back to work was excrutiating.  I didn't want to, but I knew it was a part of the healing process.  Some people came running into my office and others avoided me.  I realized some people just didn't know what to say and were afraid they would say the wrong thing so they stayed away.  Others, a good male friend, was afraid that he would break down if he said something and thought he had to...

Renee... Hugs to you. I had to go back to work about 11 days after we lost Kimberly. I know the exact feeling, also being a teacher in a building full of women someone is bound to be pregnant at least once per year (and found out someone was pg only weeks after our loss andnow have to see her about 7 mo pg next week..fun.) Anyways I was rambling. The people who you are friendly with will ...

The first few days are the worst.  Then once you get back into the routine, the reality is, people move on.  It's true.  We feel like we have a big sign over our heads that reads "This is the woman whose baby died" with an arrow pointing down on us, but after a few weeks, everyone else has gotten caught up in their own junk.   That can be another hurdle.  We are still picking up the pieces ...

I work in a school as well and I was able to go back for a couple of days at the end of the year. But I do have to say that I was dreading getting back to work and how people would react now that it has almost been 3 months. For the most part, people have responded in a very supportive way. There are the people who will ask how I am doing but really don't want to know the truth. There are ...

Thank you guys for your responses.  I have a doctors appointment Thursday morning (8 am...way too early - i must add) with a new OB and I'm going to ask her about this (and a million other things).  I don't know if an OB can prescribe antidepressants but I figure it wouldn't hurt to ask.  I was really worried about how that might sound to a doctor "I want to have a baby...but I'm depressed".  ...

You are not crazy... you just want to hold a live screaming baby.. and there is nothing wrong with that at all.. You can vent here anytime, just like you did in the post.. we all understand. After our first loss, at 13 weeks in March 2007, we tried for 19 months until we got pregnant with Kimberly... and sadly that little miracle became an angel too soon at 31 weeks... We have now been ...

It's definitely not fun when it becomes a business.. the business of making a baby! One day it will all be worth it... I didnt know that DH was feeling a little like it was work... He just told me that a week or so ago. So I am so trying not to be "all over" him with BDing for a "reason"... I try not to be so obsessed about TTC with him.... thats why I love having you ladies! :)

mommytoangel2009 replied 3 months, 1 week ago
I agree that we should all have gotten a promotion by now for this other "job". But I am pretty convinced that I did O on Monday. I have been taking OPK since CD13 .... got a neg on CD 13 & CD14, got a pos on CD15 & CD16 (I think?!!), forgot on CD17 (I know stupid), and got a neg on CD18. I would love to give DH and I a break as we have been BDing like crazy but I am worried that I may have ...

I'm super nervous about tomorrow.  I'm seeing a brand new doctor (she's an obgyn AND a peri) - she doesn't know anything about my history yet.  I hope she's a good, understanding doctor - someone I can stay with long term, someone who is willing to help me in any way to get a healthy baby.  I have SO many questions for her (i made a list...does that seem over the top?)...I'm hoping to get an u/s...

I second your emotions. I think for me it is a combo of the holidays, the TTC roller coaster and watching people around me have babies and conceive easily and not us. More than tired, I think I just feel like "ENOUGH", I have had ENOUGH of so many things. Just trying to work through it.

Yes, I feel like everything sucks in my life right now...even though I am trying my hardest to stand up straight. I am trying too hard I think, I get mad at myself for spilling coffee or forgetting a bill. I really am just a ball of emotion waiting to explode! My hubby is deployed, it's only been 2 1/2 months since my baby died. And the holidays are here...and I think I have swine flu. So yeah, everything makes me mad and I'm really...

I'm out
Published (2009-12-06 19:24:00)
I'm out for the month. No BFP for Christmas or my birthday. It really stinks because for me AF is always due around the 4th, and I lost Logan on July 4th. He would have been 5 months old this month :( So if that day is not hard enough for me, AF makes it even harder. Hopefully, next month will be my month. I wish you all lots and lots of baby dust, and I hope there are lots of BFPs for Christmas! I am going to take a break from the board...

CD 66 and still no AF...
Published (2009-12-08 09:03:00)
I know right wear you are right now and it is so hard. I had a normal cycle (well 14 day AFT ) 4 wks after Emory was born and then nothing. At first I thought that I was pg but all the tests came back BFN. I finally called the Drs office around CD45 and they told me this was very normal after a loss and not to worry...yah, right. I started charting then, just to feel like I was doing something besides waiting. Around CD60 I couldn't take...

Thank you for the advice. It definately helps. I have my first appt. on Monday the 30th. My doctor is staying after hours just to meet with me. But with our daughter Brianna, our Dr said that when they did the exam of her the only thing they could see was narrowing of her cord. They did not have an explaination bc I had a great pregnancy. So he has me on baby aspirin right now. Which I got the Women's Bayer 81mg. I believe I will be...

Aimee.. I hear you and feel the same way you do. I wish I could just go home ( I have to work) and crawl in bed and not come out until I have a healthy baby. I have been TTC way too long. Every friggin' person near me is pregnant or just had a baby. I tried 9 different anti-depressants and they never worked for me. My Dr actually said maybe I don't want to get better. yeah, OK! Grrr. Who wants to feel like this every day. It will be...

Day 28 of a (normally) 26 day cycle
Published (2009-11-25 12:11:00)
Should I take a test? So afraid of being disappointed... Before I was pregnant with Zachary my cycles were 28 days but since I gave birth in July they've been 26... Should I wait one more day or bite the bullett and save myself the agony of waiting? I had some "streaks" of blood on day 26... like light light light spotting when I wiped, twice. Nothing since... No signs, slight cramps but nothing close to AF... So nervous!
