Smack in the face after miscarriage
I suffered a miscarriage at the beginning of September and I was due on April 21st (my DH's birthday). My cousin just announced that she's pregnant and she's due a week before I was. I am going to have to un-follow her on FB so I don't see her gender announcement. I know I'm going to freak if/when she announces it's a girl. I know it seems ludicrous for me to still have so much gender desire when I clearly didn't follow the "one attempt in my fertile window" rule. To be honest, I keep bouncing back and forth between just wanting a healthy baby and still really wanting my DD. DH has reassured me that if I am pregnant this month and it is a boy, we'll definitely do high tech for a DD. That is really reassuring for me and takes away a lot of anxiety around the outcome. I am just having a hard time with my cousins announcement. Thanks for letting me vent!

I've been there too... I had 8 friends who announced pregnancies after I had my miscarriage and it took me 6 months to conceive again. It was a difficult time ... Luckily, fast forward 6 years and it is almost forgotten. I did end up with 2 more boys and lots of GD, but that's another story. I hope you get your DD one way or the other.
Hugs to you mama

Thanks, Claire! I am looking forward to the day when I can let it go.
Praying for a healthy sticky bean!

I understand. The day after my miscarriage started, a lady in my mommy group announced she's pregnant. I've since stepped away from the group for awhile but they completely understand why. There are several other mommies in that group that are pregnant as well. Like you, there are times when I want to say screw swaying because I really want to get pregnant again but at the same time, I would LOVE to have a daughter. I hope we both get our sticky pink beans soon.

ksmom, I'm just hoping that being on LE since January 1st, having clomid in the previous cycle, and conceiving right after a miscarriage are all enough to overcome my multiple attempts. I was thinking about it and the 4th attempt we used a non-sperm-friendly lube (& DH apparently doesn't know how to only use a tiny bit, lol!), so I don't think any of those swimmers even stood a chance. I'm looking at it as E3D plus one attempt at +opk, which is exactly what atomic told me to do. Since I had the tubal reversal, we (atomic and I) weren't sure if we needed more swimmers on board than the average swayer just to get preggers. The reversal already lowers my odds of conception to 60% of a normal person ttc. So, here's to hoping!

She just announced that she's having a girl. I am so hurt. I feel like she stole my daughter. This sucks so much.

Atomic, this may sound crazy but I’ve been reading about moon phases… I have a ‘red moon cycle’ currently which I didn’t used to have. Meaning my period is coinciding with the full moon. From...
