Hi guys, I'm not sure if/how I fit in over here as opposed to regular GP, but I'm hoping it's ok to post over here a little bit?
It's been a few months since I've been trying to GP so I don't know if you know/remember my story but the short version is this: got pregnant in October, had a very difficult/stressful/painful/emotional pregnancy that resulted in a D&E last week at 20 weeks. Our baby girl had a rare chromosome mutation that caused a lot of defects and also major heart issues that would have meant an extremely low quality of life.
We can't/won't be TTC for a few months but this journey started for us over a year ago and it's a little deflating to be right back to where we were with no baby. I know my issues are minor compared to what so many of you are going through but I hope it's ok for me to chat with you guys.

Hi Honey. Of course you are welcome here. I was noelcallum on MMM (changed my name with the board update) and we started ttc the same time. I'm really sorry about everything that has happened to you.

Oh my goodness Honey, I hadn't heard about you losing your baby. That makes me so so sad. I knew you had it difficult, but I was rooting for you so hard. Of course you're completely welcome here, if only to receive a virtual hug.
You are more than welcome around here. We all have varying degrees of issues and I know no one would ever dismiss yours as 'minor.' We're all on the same sucky playing field.
No one *really* wants to be here, but it's a good group. Hope your stay isn't too long.

I remember you from Getting Pregnant when we all first moved over here. I am so sorry to hear that things did not turn out well with your pregnancy. I remember your pregnancy announcement and was excited for you. You are more than welcome here but I am sorry that you have to be here.
We're actually doing ok all things considered...we're just working on getting back to normal (since things haven't really been "normal" for a while) and making sure we take care of ourselves and each other. We're very lucky, we had a strong relationship going into this and it's only getting stronger.
HoneySpider glad to hear you are staying strong. Crazy how super shitty situations bring us closer together, although in a way, I'm glad it does. It's always a good thing to have someone to lean on who really "gets it."
