I suffer from endometriosis which is the cause of my infertility. I did 1 round of IVF and it worked but lost my daughter, Nora, at 19wks gestation. There were many complications: PPROM (loss of amniotic fluid), an omphalocele (fetal defect) and an unidentified chromosome defect. We're taking a break from TTC for now and in the meantime will see a genetic counselor for chromosome testing and risk assessment that will determine if we should or even can try IVF again. I am trying to start over with a new priority: I want to get in shape and get healthy. I think this will help me physically, mentally and will distract me from my grief.

Sending you flowers instead of a good hard kick... Cause your suggestions were right on target and knowing someone cared was such a comforting thing.
Hey stranger...how the heck are you?!
Hope you are having a great friday!
Thank you so much for your reply to my journal entry. I so appreciate your support and believe me, you said exactly the right things. It is so good to know that someone is out there "listening" (and not judging) when I need to get some frustrations out. And yeah, I am definitely happy I finally lost some weight. I see your weight is going down slowly but surely too, so congratulations on that. I bet you will do even better (not to mention feel better) once your nose is healed and you can be more active again too.
I've missed you and your kind words these past few days... I hope you are all right. Remember that no matter how you are doing with your eating and exercise goals, or even whether you feel like working towards them actively at this point, you are wanted here. I hope you are taking the best care of yourself you can right now.
