I want to take this time to wish you all a “Mother’s Day”. A happy one it may not be but please keep this in mind:
You are still mothers to your children even though you cannot physically parent them. You carried them, fought for them, built them into your lives and sacrificed for them.
They are still yours. And you are still theirs. Please be kind to yourselves this weekend. We all carry immense pain but it is only because we love. And love is what will tie them to us forever.

With love,
A loss mom

Hi everyone,

I have a few questions as I am super new to this process. I gave birth to a baby in February (non-living) and am going the IVF route this time.

I went to RMA about 8 weeks post partum and received a diagnosis of AMH 0.18 AFC 6. Dr. Told me I have DOR.

Is it possible for numbers to be lower than baseline 8 weeks PP? I asked the doctor and he said he wasn’t sure.

I have since moved to Cornell having my first appointment in June.

Anyone else have similar numbers and have success of euploid embryos?

My insurance only covers $10,000 lifetime max so I’m a little nervous not knowing how many cycles I could afford out of pocket and just looking for similar experiences.

Thank you for reading!

Hi all,

My husband and I are visiting NOLA for the first time the week of Halloween.

We were wondering what Halloween parties were going on on the actual day. I saw one or two that seemed really awesome but was wondering if there’s anything out there with a bit smaller, more intimate vibe.

Also open to any must do’s this time of year.

Thanks in advance 🎃

I am really struggling with the loss of my daughter. It’s been 3 months since the loss and the shock wore off and gave way to intense emotional pain.
Mother’s Day is coming up and my stomach is in knots. I want to celebrate because I will always be her mom but want to avoid traditional restaurants and festivals where I would be surrounded with carriages. A family member just sent out her baby shower invite and she’s having a little girl. I feel horrible to feel triggered about it. But I lost my little girl and my last memory of her was holding her while she passed.
Before losing my girl people would describe me as always living life to the fullest, intensely appreciative and kind. Now I wake up and walk through my house like a ghost until it’s time to go to sleep. It’s Groundhog Day forever. This deeply saddens be because I know she wouldn’t want her mom to be a shadow of her self but the pain I am feeling is very intense. I open my mouth to scream and nothing comes out, it’s if the sounds can’t be processed in this world.
I have a life limiting condition and my pregnancy was very high risk. That being said they removed my tubes during my emergency c-section as my doctors and I collectively thought this was the best thing so I could not ever risk pregnancy and my life again because I knew I had to be here for my daughter. She passed shortly after.
I don’t know what to do with my feelings (therapy isn’t for me) and I feel like my life stopped.
I just want some peace and happiness. I love my husband and my life. I just want to enjoy life again.
