Hi everyone, OP here. Big hugs to all of you too. Thanks very much for the support. Here's wishing us all good things in 2013.

Sending LOTS of good thoughts your way. I know exactly how you feel. I miscarried in December, and it's so hard to hear about friends who are as far along as I would have been. It's just so conflicting--- to be so happy for people you love, but for the wound to be opened all over again. Here's wishing you all good things in 2013, and that your pain will abate a bit each day.

It's unfair sometimes. Keep reaching out if you feel the need. We don't know you but a lot of us really do care!

I have actually been debating whether to vent about something just like this! So very sorry, OP. Just know that you are not alone. My situation is slightly different, as I am struggling with secondary infertility (which included a MC about two years ago). I am also a supervisor of about 18 people, 7 of whom are either currently pregnant or have had babies in the last 18 months. So, at the moment, I am surrounded all day every day by pregnant women and people with tiny babies. I am genuinely happy for each of them. But there is no getting around the fact that it sucks for me. Hang in there, OP --

AW crap, OP that blows. My friend is due one month behind when I would have been due this winter. I've had to hide her from my FB feed b/c everything is about her being pregnant.

So sorry OP! This happened to me three times! Once with my sil and twice with very good friends! All three times I kept my mouth shut but as soon as I got to the car....ugh I let it out! But my time did come and I love all three of those kiddos (and of course my own)!!!!!

I am sorry for your loss. I would have been about as far along as you, as well, but I miscarried in December too. Maybe 2013 will be the year for us!

Yup. Not a day goes by without a pregnancy announcement from someone (fb or celebrity). Sorry for your loss and best wishes.

(OP) Thanks all --- this really made me feel better.

((Hug)) I'm sorry about your loss.

I'm sorry to hear this. That's one of the really hard things about ttc. You're just so surrounded by other people's fertility.

I am sorry OP. Dont worry, its hard but your time will come.

My friend had a miscarriage with her first right after announcing it, and then within a few months after she was pregnant and now was a 6 month old adorable baby.

I will be jumping into the TTC wagon soon so positive thoughts coming to you and me

Very difficult situation, but you handled it well.

Well done.

(((hugs)))

I miscarried my first pregnancy in December (would have been 13 weeks about now), and was pretty sad, but am doing more or less ok. I met an out of town friend for lunch today who told me that she's expecting --- and is just about exactly as far along as I would have been, and within a week of the same due date. I'm very happy for her, but it was still a rough lunch. It was neither the time or place to tell her about my own experience, but I thought I would say something here, in the lovely privacy of the internet. Best wishes for all of us in 2013.
