Hey ladies, hope everyone is doing well in their cycles.

Honestly I haven't been on in quite a while, I had no intention of taking a break from the boards, but I haven't been doing so well since my d&c.

I took much longer this time physically to get over the d&c. I don't know if it was harder this time or I just got lucky last time, whatever the case, I haven't been feeling well at all lately, emotionally & physically. Add crashing hormones, not sleeping well and getting up almost 2 hrs earlier everyday due to a schedule change, plus lots of company that just won't leave and ya get me being a wreck most of the time. I'm trying, God knows I am to get it all together, it just takes time....

Our 5 yr anniversary is today, we were supposed to have our annual night out at a nice hotel, nice dinner, etc. but I just came off pelvic rest but am still very sore. So we postponed. It sucks to lose a baby right before your anniversary. We are going to dinner, and home for "alone time" but I didn't want to celebrate our 5 yr in September. It kinda bummed me out, but I'm probably just being silly. I'm a purist, celebrate the holiday ON the holiday type person I guess.

I just didn't want you all to think I am snubbing you or that I don't care, because I do very much so! I just don't have anything positive to say at the moment, and don't want to bring anyone down.

Please take care of yourselves and know I'm not going away. I will be back (knowing me it'll only be a few days! haha) I just wanted to let you guys know what was going on.

Oh around the 1st wk in Sept I will get the auto immune blood test. Around the same time I should get the baby's test results back. I am anxious for both. I need some answers. I will of course let everyone know the results.

Take care and talk to ya soon!
