I went to the doctor today and had an ultrasound. I miscarried. :'(
The doctor said it must have happened very early since he couldn't find anything at all. We're sad, but mostly just in shock.
I also found out this morning that DH will be returning to his not-so-favorite desert sooner rather than later. So yeah, that sucks. >:(
Today has been pretty crap. :'(
I'm so sorry for your loss, Jennifer.
:'( *hugs*
I am so very sorry to hear of you and your husband's loss. My heart goes out to you both.... :'(
I am so very sorry to hear this! :'( {{{HUGS}}}

I am so sorry to hear this Jennifer. :'( *Hugs*
:'( Very sad news. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
I'm so sorry for your loss! My heart goes out to you and your husband. :'(
Oh, Jennifer. I'm just now catching up on the board and was so, so sad to read of your bad news. Words are so inadequate at times like these. I think those of us who are regulars on the board have become as close to being friends as is possible being separated by oceans and never having met each other. I talk about everyone as if they were really friends that I know and care about.
Well, I feel like I'm blathering...the point is that I and obviously everyone else who has responded have you in our minds and hearts.
I'm so sorry, Jennifer. :'(
so sorry Jennifer
Oh, honey. I'm so sorry. Hugs.
Oh, Jennifer, so sorry, big hug to you and your family at this difficult time, Kikilola :-*
Thank you soooo much everyone... all your responses really, really meant a lot to me. I've read them all a few times and I was so touched by how many of you responded.
Like Bookmama, I consider you all friends who I just haven't met, (actually, we even talk about some of you at the dinner table :)) and I just couldn't imagine not sharing it with you.
Some people IRL have said some pretty stupid/ridiculous things to me so far... but no one has said anything about it being caused my vegan diet *sigh* which I am kind of expecting from some daft ass... let's hope not though, right? I might throw a punch or two.
The hardest part about this is that it's happened but it isn't really over.
Sorry if this is TMI, but I will need a follow-up surgery to actually remove the tissue in my uterus, which will happen sometime next week. I guess it's not exactly common knowledge, but when you have a miscarriage it doesn't just 'go away'... you have to go through some pretty annoying, frustrating and physically painful stuff before it's actually done. It's actually annoying (though understandable) that women don't talk about it more... it seems so silly to me how women's issues are so taboo to most people... I mean, sharing this womanly information can only help others, right?
*sigh*
Well, thank you again everyone. Your kindness has really meant more than you know. :-*
Jennifer,
I'm catching up on VegWeb after mostly lurking this semester, and saw your post. I'm so sorry for your loss. I will keep you in my thoughts, and hope that healing (physical and emotional) comes your way soon.
Take care,
Joelle
I'm sorry for your loss Jennifer....It must be really a tough time for you right now, and a lot for your mind and body to go through.... Stay strong... I'm not sure how long after the surgery you can try again, but I hope you and your hubby can try again whenever you feel ready.... I'm sure you were looking forward to the addition to your family... I'm praying for you and your little angel
Hugs to you and your family xoxo
and try to take it easy if you can :)
I wish you a speedy physical recovery. I know the emotional recovery will take a bit longer.
This is one of my favorite excerpts from Thich Nhat Hanh's Peace Is Every Step:
"I have lost my smile,
but don't worry.
The dandelion has it.
... everything around you is keeping your smile for you. You don't need to feel isolated. You only have to open yourself to the support that is all around you, and in you."
Oh my goodness, I've only been around in fits and bursts lately, I missed this.
I cannot imagine your pain and sadness right now. I always love reading your posts because you have such vibrant infectious energy. You are a good soul and I have no doubt that when this difficult time passes you'll bound forth with unmatched abandon.
You are in our thoughts...
Liz and Will
