Falling in Hope: February 2011
http://fallinginhope.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
The coping blog of a recurrent miscarrier. Wednesday, February 23, 2011. It has been a very very long time; part of my process, I suppose. I am going to spare you all any efforts at literary suspense to say that baby and I are fine. He is 25 weeks yesterday - and yes, it's a He and he has all his chromosomes in the right number and configuration. Have you guessed what comes next? If you are a seasoned IFer, you probably guessed that - whatever came next - it went every which way except the way we planned.

Falling in Hope: My day-before-Thanksgiving-boss-is-gone-and-I’m-totally-slacking Update
http://fallinginhope.blogspot.com/2010/11/my-day-before-thanksgiving-boss-is-gone.html
The coping blog of a recurrent miscarrier. Wednesday, November 24, 2010. My day-before-Thanksgiving-boss-is-gone-and-I’m-totally-slacking Update. Been feeling much better lately. Which, I am finding, is wonderful. In terms of my motivation and mood; but –SURPRISE-I also worry that perhaps it means something else. Having the fatigue and nausea sucked, but I also felt. I have been meaning for a long time to clear up a post from several months ago. Probability of first failure = 0.35. It seemed a little fis...

Falling in Hope: June 2011
http://fallinginhope.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
The coping blog of a recurrent miscarrier. Sunday, June 26, 2011. To my few stragglers, I write for 2 reasons …. 1 I feel the need to round out this blog with the birth story of my son, Ian. 2 Also, in re-reading my posts on this blog, I realize that it is an incredible log of my journey through IF. Like childbirth, the pain is easy to forget not to mention the order of events; and though I don't want to memorialize the suffering, I do find value in having recorded the experience. So I am probably. I was...

Falling in Hope: July 2010
http://fallinginhope.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
The coping blog of a recurrent miscarrier. Wednesday, July 21, 2010. I am back for one quick post. Really quick because I've got a presentation to prepare for tonight on Social Networking! It will be for older women who want to know about facebook and twitter and blogs and skype. Whew! This is definitely my good deed for the year ;). I've been away from the blog for 2 reasons:. My cousin just gave birth to a baby boy yesterday. Tuesday, July 6, 2010. Google reminded me that it is Frida Kahlo's birthday t...

Falling in Hope: One of the Boys
http://fallinginhope.blogspot.com/2010/10/one-of-boys.html
The coping blog of a recurrent miscarrier. Friday, October 8, 2010. One of the Boys. Jason just left for a fishing trip; his buddies picked him up and they are on their way to the Gulf to tuna fish. Well just now, when they picked him up, I congratulated them on the good news and there were thanks all around. Then his friend said, "And congratulations to you! I hardly knew what he meant and it dawned on me (too slowly for my comfort) that Jason had told them! But this is what killed me. After his fri...

Falling in Hope: September 2010
http://fallinginhope.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
The coping blog of a recurrent miscarrier. Thursday, September 30, 2010. I got the official confirmation that I was pregnant that same day (HCG 144) at work. As I was leaving the office I stared at the wall for about 10 seconds, trying to decide if I was going to tell my boss (who shares an office with me). This would have been my fourth pregnancy announcement to her - she has been there for all of them. Monday, September 27, 2010. Hubby said: "We'll see.". DISCLAIMER: I was reading ginger and lime's.

Falling in Hope: Taboos
http://fallinginhope.blogspot.com/2010/10/taboos.html
The coping blog of a recurrent miscarrier. Wednesday, October 6, 2010. WARNING: very long post; time required: 15 minutes. Why do I feel uncomfortable with it? And then I wanted to ask – does jealousy have a positive function at all? Just so that you know I am not “above” basking in indignation, I will unload what I've been holding in until now about my horrible awful friend. My Horrible Awful No-Account Friend. She is also extremely personable and popular and friendly and she is one of those people who ...

Falling in Hope: August 2010
http://fallinginhope.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
The coping blog of a recurrent miscarrier. Tuesday, August 31, 2010. Today, I am about 19 CD or approx 7 DPO. I feel weird . . . I am so tired. This morning I was also inarguably nauseous though that subsided by about 11:00am. I hadn’t eaten any breakfast but that is not part of my typical morning routine and I am certainly not someone who suffers from nausea unless I’ve taken a multi-vitamin on an empty stomach (which I hadn’t). Perhaps these are red wine withdrawl symptoms? When can I test? We TTC 3 ou...

The coping blog of a recurrent miscarrier. Wednesday, June 30, 2010. Written this past Monday). My heart is in my throat today. I’ve got that double-time tightening in my chest that leaves me super-sensitive to the everyday annoyances that a well-functioning adult should be able to shake-off with a gentle but stern reminder that no babies died . . oh, wait . . . Who knows why the anxiety is up today? Let me ask you all, how do you cope with the fear and anxiety? And where’s my mojito? We were able to fin...
