Post miscarriage update

Britt 🌲 • Tue, Apr 14

Hi ladies,

(For those who are curious about how I'm doing now.)

It's been a little over 4 weeks, and a pretty turbulent time. The bleeding came back again over the weekend, and I read that time wise, it was way too soon to be a period. However, the OB claims that it probably was, since my HCG levels were at a 3 yesterday. (I've been taking blood tests every week, to make sure the levels go down.) The OB also gave us the green light to TTC again after my next cycle, so it's good to hear that.

I've been pretty upset because a good friend of mine lost her baby after an emergency C section, and our whole FB community is stricken with sadness. I'm trying to separate her experience from mine, but all the grief is getting jumbled up.

I have reconnected with my counselor, and am also linked to a local free support group called brief encounters.org. I'm very relieved that they're having a special Mother's Day event for women with similar circumstances. (I have not been looking forward to Mother's Day this year.) so good to know these resources exist.

Just taking this one day at a time. I had initially wanted to TTC again soon, but I'll wait and see how we're feeling. My friend's loss has hit me pretty hard.

Thanks again for your encouragement for me to remain in this group, in spite of my loss. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for every one of you.
